China Merchants Port operates Chiwan Container Terminal (CN CWN) on the Nantou Peninsula in western Shenzhen, part of the wider Port of Shenzhen. The terminal falls under the China Merchants Port (South China) Management Center, which groups the western Shenzhen facilities of Shekou, Chiwan and Mawan, and covers roughly 857,000 square metres. Its core business is containerised exports from the Pearl River Delta manufacturing belt — electronics, machinery and consumer goods bound for overseas markets. Deep-water berths on the Pearl River estuary handle large container vessels, with reefer plugs available for refrigerated cargo. Inland, Chiwan connects through the dense road and rail network of the Delta and via river-barge feeder services to upriver ports. Customs and export clearance follow Chinese customs procedures applied across the Shenzhen port cluster. Forwarders weighing options in the same region can use neighbouring Shekou and Mawan, Yantian in eastern Shenzhen, or Hong Kong and Nansha (Guangzhou).
