NANJING, May 22 (Xinhua) -- East China's Taicang Port saw its container throughput in April stand at 451,000 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), an increase of 11 percent year on year, hitting a record high, according to the local port administration committee.

The number of ships entering and leaving the port in April reached 10,734, an increase of 17.3 percent year on year, representing 5.7 percentage points higher than the average growth in the first quarter of the year.

Since the beginning of this year, Taicang Port has accelerated its integration with Shanghai's international shipping center, innovated in aspects of planning, construction, production management to fully serve green development of the Yangtze River Delta and the Yangtze River Economic Belt.

Taicang Port has 10 container berths with a designed capacity of 4.35 million TEUs.

With the throughput capacity of container berths nearing saturation, on April 28, Taicang Port launched the fourth phase of the container project. Under the project, Taicang Port will build four 50,000-ton berths with a designed capacity of 2 million TEUs annually.

After completion, it will increase the container throughput capacity of Taicang Port by nearly 50 percent, and become the first fully automated container yard in Jiangsu Province and among the ports along the Yangtze River. (Edited by Hu Pingchao, hupingchao@xinhua.org)
