Chemicals, fertiliser, grain and coal make up the bulk of throughput at Gaogang (CN GAO), the cargo district of the Port of Taizhou on the lower Yangtze in Jiangsu Province. The port moves roughly 20 million tonnes a year, with container traffic of about 62,000 TEU playing a secondary, feeder-style role rather than serving deep-sea lines directly. A channel depth near 9.4 m and quay depths around 7.9 m suit river and coastal tonnage, while the upgraded Yangwan area can handle bulk carriers of up to about 70,000 dwt. Hinterland links run by road, rail and the dense Yangtze barge network into the industrial belt of central Jiangsu. For international boxes, Gaogang feeds the deep-water gateways at Shanghai and Yangshan, with Nanjing and Zhenjiang offering alternative dry-bulk and breakbulk capacity nearby. Customs and export handling follow standard Chinese inland-river port practice.
