Within China's Guangxi region, Beihai (CN BIH) operates as one of the three arms of the Beibu Gulf Port cluster, alongside Qinzhou and Fangcheng. It functions as a secondary container and bulk port: the modern Tieshan and Shibuling terminals offer around eleven production berths and a throughput capacity on the order of 40 million tonnes. Its container business centres on short-sea ASEAN feeder services to Vietnamese and Thai ports rather than deep-sea mainline calls, which concentrate at neighbouring Qinzhou. Rail links through the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor connect Beihai to inland China and Chongqing. The Beibu Gulf cluster as a whole crossed 10 million TEU in 2025, giving even its secondary ports solid network reach. For forwarders, Beihai suits regional South China–ASEAN container and dry-bulk flows, with Qinzhou for mainline boxes and Fangcheng for heavy bulk.
