6.7 million TEU — the new phase, 3,800 meters of coastline, capacity to handle vessels up to 200,000 tons, and the status of a global transport hub.

As reported by CCTV+, construction has begun on the fifth phase of the Nansha port complex in Guangzhou’s Nansha District. This is one of the country’s largest national projects.

The project is designed for an annual container throughput of 6.7 million TEU. The complex includes four deep-water berths. Each of them can accommodate container ships with a displacement of up to 200,000 tons. The total length of the coastline exceeds 3,800 meters.

After the completion of the fifth phase, the total container throughput capacity of the Nansha port complex is expected to reach 35 million TEU per year. This will allow it to become one of the world’s leading port complexes in terms of capacity. Guangzhou’s status as an international transport hub will become even stronger.

35 million containers a year. Four berths for giants. A coastline nearly four kilometers long. China is not just expanding a port. It is redrawing the map of global logistics. Nansha will become one of the busiest ports on the planet. Goods will flow faster. The economy will breathe deeper. While others discuss, China builds. And when the projects are completed, the world will notice it not from the news, but from how quickly a package from Guangzhou ends up on a doorstep thousands of kilometers away.
