A heavyweight on the Yangtze, Nantong sits at the river's estuary in Jiangsu, directly opposite Shanghai, and ranks among China's largest river ports. In 2023 it handled 343 million tonnes of cargo, up 9.4 percent year on year, with annual container throughput above 2 million TEU. Some 4,166 metres of Yangtze frontage and 88 berths — 14 of them for vessels over 10,000 DWT — connect the port to 312 harbours in 96 countries. Key facilities include the Langshan container terminal and Tonghai terminal, served by CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, OOCL and Maersk. The roughly 9.4-metre channel caps vessel size, so deep-sea cargo is frequently fed via Shanghai. Hinterland reach runs along the Yangtze economic corridor by barge, rail and road. Around 48,000 vessels pass the Nantong river section each year. For forwarders, Nantong is a high-capacity river-sea port for Chinese imports and exports with direct access to the inland Yangtze basin.
