The Port of Huizhou is a natural coastal port located on Huizhou, Guangdong, People's Republic of China, immediately east of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It opens into the Daya Bay. Started only 20 years ago, it has moved from a fishing village to another large player in the Pearl River Delta shipping hub.[1] In 2012, its total cargo throughput was 51,18 million tonnes.[2]
The port is linked to the Chinese railway network by the Huizhou–Dayawan railway.
Huizhou Port is divided into three main port areas: the Quanwan Port Area, the Dongma Port Area and the Huidong Port Area.
Huizhou Port in 2012 had 51 berths, 39 production berths, of which 18 were deep-water 100000DWT berths, including 2 150,000DWT berths and 1 300,000DWT berth.[3]
The Quanwan Port Area (荃湾港区) (not to be confused with the identically named Tsuen Wan area of Hong Kong) is a joint of the Huizhou Port Group and Hutchinson Whampoa. It has 1,714m of quayside and berths of all types. There are scheduled barge routes between the port area and Hong Kong, Guangzhou Nansha and Shenzhen Hekou, as a way to increase regional connectivity.[4]
Under construction there are 3 container berths of 100,000DWT, 2 general cargo berths of 50,000-80,000DWT, and 2 oil berths of 80,000DWT, 5 of 5,000DWT and 2 of 3,000DWT.[5]
A coal terminal started construction in July 2013 and was opened on 1 November 2018. It is directly connected to the railway.[7]
The Dongma Port Area (东马港区) focuses on petrochemicals and LNG, and it includes the deep-water berths built on Mabian Island.[3]
The Huidong Port (惠东港区) covers a number of smaller wharves on the east of the Bay, focusing on bulk and general cargo, as well as river barge transshipment.
