About This Seaport
120 million tonnes: that is roughly what annual cargo throughput reached at the wider Tianjin Xingang complex by the year 2000, up from just 20 million tonnes in 1980 — growth that started right here at the historic river-mouth site once known as Tanggu, Hsin Kang or Tang Ku. Opened as a treaty port in 1860 after the Second Opium War and reopened in 1952, this location saw China's first international container service launch in 1973 and the country's first container terminal built in 1980. The record in this database reflects the shallow original channel at the mouth of the Hai He, with a depth of only 3.4 metres — the deep-water container and bulk berths of today's Tianjin Xingang lie further seaward and handle vessels far larger than this anchorage ever could. For current container bookings into northern China, shippers should reference the broader Port of Tianjin, which connects by rail and expressway to Beijing and the wider North China hinterland. Qingdao and Dalian serve as the main alternative gateways along the Bohai and Yellow Sea coasts.
