The Port of Zhuhai is the port of the prefecture-level city of Zhuhai, on the west side of the Pearl River estuary in the Chinese province of Guangdong. The Port of Zhuhai is composed of seven main port areas: Gaolan, Wanshan, Jiuzhou, Xiangzhou, Tangjia, Hongwan and Doumen.[1] The main areas are the Jiuzhou Port Area to the east of the city, and the Gaolan Port Area to the west. As of 2012, the port had 131 berths, 126 production berths, of which 17 were deep-water berths over 10,000DWT.[2]
The Port had a total cargo throughput of 71,870,000 metric tons (70,730,000 long tons; 79,220,000 short tons) in 2012,[3] and surpassed the 100,000,000 t (98,000,000 long tons; 110,000,000 short tons) mark in 2013.[4]
The volume of port traffic and urban population make Zhuhai a medium-port metropolis according to the Southampton system of port-city classification.[5]
The Jiujiang Port Area includes a container terminal and a terminal for high-speed ferries connecting Zhuhai with Shenzhen in mainland China and Hong Kong. It is also developing into a transport hub with regular coach services connecting the port with various cities west of the Pearl River such as Jiangmen and Shunde.
Ticketed passengers on flights going to and from Hong Kong International Airport may take ferries from the Zhuhai Ferry Terminal to the HKIA Skypier.[6]
