Around 5.4 million TEU in 2024 place Lianyungang among the world's fifty busiest container ports, yet its real edge for forwarders lies inland. As the eastern terminus of the New Eurasian Land Bridge, this Jiangsu port on the Yellow Sea links ocean services directly to block trains bound for Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and onward to Europe. Alongside modern container terminals it runs dedicated berths for coal, iron ore and grain, plus handling for oil, chemicals, break-bulk and project cargo. Sea-rail intermodal traffic is the standout option here, offering a credible alternative to all-water routings for Central Asian and European cargo. Container lines cover intra-Asian trades and feed the major East Asia-Europe loops via transshipment. Hinterland access combines expressways, the national rail network and coastal feeders, while a pilot free-trade zone supports bonded and customs-related functions. For deeper drafts or denser direct calls, nearby Qingdao and Rizhao are the usual alternatives, with Shanghai offering the widest liner choice.
