The port of Yingkou in Liaoning province is to invest at least Yn1.6bn over the next 10 years to double its handling capacity to 50m tonnes a year, said China Daily. Six new piers will be constructed and the port’s channel will be deepened to accommodate 10,000-tonne cargo ships.
A large distribution centre and grain storage facility are also to be constructed, while a new highway will be built to connect the port with the cross-province expressway.
