Coal, oil, timber, steel, cement and grain are the staples that move through Zhapu, the seaport serving the Jiaxing industrial and textile belt on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, about 50 nautical miles south of Shanghai. Run by Zhapu Port Company under the Jiaxing Port Authority, the multipurpose port handles roughly 24 million tonnes and around 32,000 TEU a year. Coal for the province's power plants and mills dominates — some 27.3 million tonnes passed through in 2010 alone — alongside dry bulk, a container terminal and liquid-bulk and chemical facilities. Hinterland links run by road and inland waterway into the Jiaxing manufacturing zone. For large container volumes and international liner calls, nearby Shanghai (Yangshan) and Ningbo-Zhoushan are the stronger options, while Zhapu's strength lies in regional bulk and project cargo.
