Jinzhou Port handles coal in the Jinzhou Bay in Liaoning province, China.
Location
The port is situated in Jinzhou Bay in the north east of Bohai Gulf.
Background
In June 2010 the "foundation-stone laying ceremony" of Jinzhou Port Coal Wharf Project Phase I was held at the port. Jinzhou Port Coal Wharf Project was reported to help implement the national “Liaoning Coastal Economic Zone”.[1][2]
The port handled 16 million tonnes of coal in 2009, accounting for 31 percent of the port's total throughput. The coal throughput of the port was expected to reach 16.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by 2010.[3] In 2013 Jinzhou port completed 19.58 mtpa coal throughput.[4] In 2015 its total coal capacity was 25 mtpa.[5]
In 2017, Jinzhou Port, along with the Dalian and Yingkou ports, became part of the newly-formed Liaoning Port Group, which was created to help consolidate the port sector, and followed similar actions from other provinces, including Zhejiang and Jiangsu. The creation of an integrated platform for the Liaoning Port Group was financed by the China Merchants Group for around 10 billion RMB ($1.47 billion USD).[6]
Cancelled expansion
Jinzhou Port Co. planned to expand the port to handle 100 million tonnes of coal annually, with 70% of financing from China Power Investment and 30% from Jinzhou Port Co.[3] In 2014 the Ministry of Environment rejected the plan as part of a general crackdown on big infrastructure projects that do not meet more strict green guidelines in response to the population's increasing anger at the poor state of the environment.[4] There have been no updates since then.
