Huanghua port,the tenth largest coastal port in China,plans to build another six wharfs to relieve capacity shortage and handling overload that have been plaguing the port for long.
The six wharfs (with nine berths), with total investment reaching 5.25 billion yuan (739.1 million),are expected to add new handling capacity by 33 million tonnes per year,bringing total annual capacity of Huanghua port to 290 million tonnes.
Upon completion of projects,Huanghua port will own 47 operating berths that may better serve for vessel berthing and commodity shipment in the near future.

The #3 and #4 bulk commodity wharfs at coal port area will cost 980 million yuan of the total investment, with annual capacity reaching 8.05 million tonnes.
In the first quarter this year,Huanghua port handled 66.88 million tonnes of commodities,while its handling of containers reached 128,000 twenty-foot equivalent unit(TEU)
