CN SHP Port (Qinhuangdao) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

Twenty-three dedicated coal berths fitted with shiploaders and conveyor systems define Qinhuangdao (CN SHP), the world's largest coal-shipping port on the Bohai Sea. Each year roughly 200 million tonnes of thermal coal move across its quays, the key link in China's north-to-south coal supply, railed in from the Shanxi and Inner Mongolia mining belts via the Daqin line and shipped on to the power stations of Guangdong, Shanghai and the Yangtze delta. Total throughput reached about 414 million tonnes in 2024, up 5.7%, led by iron ore and containers even as coal volumes eased. Crude oil, ores and a modest volume of general cargo round out the traffic, while container handling stays marginal — this is a dry-bulk and energy port, not a box gateway. For forwarders that means bulk and breakbulk are well served, but containerised or customs-heavy international consignments belong elsewhere. Qingdao and Tianjin are the realistic container alternatives, while Tangshan/Caofeidian absorbs additional coal flows.
