Port of Weihai is a seaport in Shandong, People's Republic of China.
Location
The port is on the Yellow Sea in the vicinity of Weihai, east end of Shandong Peninsula.
Background
In 2012 the port had coal throughput of 5 million tonnes (mt).[1]  In 2018, the port had an overall throughput (of all materials, including coal) of 45 million tonnes.[2]
In 2019, the Weihai Port Group was acquired by the Qingdao Port Group to merged its operations and save costs.[2][3] It was part of a larger merger done by the Shandong Port Group to consolidate resources and operations from Qingdao Port, Yantai Port, Rizhao Port and the Bohai Bay Port Group.[4]
In 2020, an expansion project to add more area and capacity to the Weihai Port began construction. It is unclear whether this will add to the coal capacity as well.[5]
