SIPG splashing out $7.3bn to develop new Yangshan container terminal

The investment in the new area through its subsidiary Shanghai Shengdong International Container Terminal Company.

Located at the north side of Xiaoyangshan, the project includes seven 70,000 tonnes-class and two 150,000 tonnes-class container berths, with a design capacity to handle 11.6m teu per year.

Average annual operational days of the terminal could be around 330-334 days.
