Long a capital on the Yangtze, Nanjing today anchors one of the world's largest inland ports, handling about 3.71 million TEU in 2024 — a figure that contradicts the 'Very Small' label in legacy data. The port stretches along the Yangtze roughly 380 kilometres from the sea and stays reachable for vessels of around 9.4 metres draft, making it the highest sea-river point on the river. Container operations centre on the Longtan terminal and the Jiangbei container terminal, alongside bulk, liquid and general-cargo berths. Steel, coal, oil products, building materials and petrochemicals move across the quays for the industrial hinterland of Jiangsu province. Direct rail, road and inland-waterway links tie the port into national supply chains. Standard Chinese import and export customs procedures apply, and Nanjing sits within the international liner network feeding through the Yangtze delta. Shippers needing deep-sea services typically connect Nanjing by feeder to Shanghai or Ningbo-Zhoushan.
