THE northern Shandong's Rizhao Port Working Conference revealed recently that six new berths in the port are expected to pass acceptance check and go into electronic operations this year, reports Xinhua.
According to the Requirements of the Shandong provincial government, the Rizhao authority this year will work together with all departments of the port to jointly promote the construction of electronic port with the aim to take the lead in launching electronic port system in the province.
The municipal government plans to accelerate the expansion of the Lanshan northern water area this year to lay the foundation for the construction of Southern Shandong Harbour-front Industrial District.
It will cooperate closely with Rizhao Airport and inspection departments to create conditions for the opening up of the airport. Also it will enhance operating services of the Rizhao Bonded Logistics Centre to promote the establishment of the comprehensive bonded zone.
At present, a total of 48 terminal berths in the Rizhao port have officially opened to service.
Six new terminal berths last year including a 300,000-tonne crude oil terminal were put into operation, which brought an extra 26.22 million tonnes of foreign trade throughput to the port.
