Port of Basuo is in Hainan Province, China.
Location
The port is located in the middle of West coastline of Hainan Province.
Background
Basuo Port is considered to be the most important sea trade portal in Hainan Province.[1] The port is under Dongfang County’s control. It has 6 berths for vessels of 10,000 dwt and 2 berths for vessels of 1,000 dwt and has become one of the country's deepwater ports. It has been opened to navigation to and established trade contacts with many large ports in China and ports in more than 20 countries and regions.[2]
The main export cargoes are iron ore, iron, steel, cement, timber and local goods. Imports include coal, coke, grain and general cargoes.[3]
In 2018, the Basuo Port was included in Hainan's Free Trade Zone pilot project, which will be the first free trade zone at the Chinese provincial level and the biggest pilot free trade port in the world.[4] The pilot free trade zone is expected to be launched by 2025; one can expect increasing coal imports to the port when it does.[5]
