About This Seaport
Around 1.3 million TEU and some 50 million tonnes of cargo move through Shantou each year, making it the only major seaport in eastern Guangdong. Set at the mouth of the Han River and opened to foreign trade in the 19th century as the treaty port of Swatow, it today centres on Shantou International Container Terminal (SICT) at Guang'ao, with capacity near 2.5 million TEU. For forwarders it is a regional container gateway for the Chaoshan area, handling textiles, toys, ceramics and agricultural and aquaculture goods. Inland links run by expressway and rail to Chaozhou, Jieyang and the wider eastern Guangdong hinterland. Services are predominantly intra-Asia and feeder, with deep-sea mainline connections made via Hong Kong and Shenzhen/Yantian, roughly 187 nautical miles to the southwest. Shippers needing direct long-haul calls to Europe or North America typically consider Xiamen to the north or Yantian as alternatives.
