Its advantages are:
1. Location advantage: Yangshan Port is about 32km away from Shanghai Nanhui Luchao Port in the northwest, 90km away from Ningbo Beilun Port in the south, and the Huangzeyang Waterway in the east longitude is directly connected to the sea, only 45 nautical miles away from international routes. It is the nearest deep-water port to Shanghai. Convenient transportation, close to the economically developed Yangtze River Delta region, there are sufficient and stable tourists.
2. Geographical environment: Yangshan Port has the advantage of building a port area and waterway, with a water depth of-15m. The tidal current in Yangshan sea area is strong, the sediment is not easy to deposit, and the seabed in the sea area has been basically stable for nearly a hundred years. It can ensure the safety of ship navigation and berthing. After repeated demonstration by model tests, the port engineering scheme shows that after the project is implemented, the natural conditions are basically unaffected, the original water depth can be maintained, the large and small Yangshan island chains form a natural barrier, and the berthing conditions are good.
3. Promote the development of surrounding shipping: The completion of Yangshan Port can free Shanghai's shipping from the restrictions of the sea. Since 1990s, the container throughput of Shanghai Port has continued to grow at a high speed. However, due to the lack of water depth in the waterway and the lack of deep-water shoreline resources, the throughput capacity of container terminals is relatively large. After the completion of Yangshan Port, the history of Shanghai-15m above has been rewritten. The fifth and sixth generation container ships can fully load into the port all day, linking the trade of the Yangtze River basin and Huangpu River with the world trade, and revitalizing the economic development of the whole Yangtze River Delta.
