About This Seaport
Around 6.5 million TEU passed across Shekou in 2024, part of a record 33.38 million TEU for the wider Shenzhen port (up 11.7 percent), the world's fourth-busiest. Operated by China Merchants Port and paired with neighbouring Chiwan, the terminal anchors the western cluster of the Shenzhen complex on the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong. Nine deep-water berths along roughly 3,800 metres of quay, with depths above 15 metres, handle large container vessels on services to Europe, North America and Southeast Asia. The hinterland is the export industry of the Pearl River Delta — electronics, machinery and consumer goods — fed by motorways, rail and Pearl River barge feeders. Full international customs clearance is available, along with reefer plugs and dangerous-goods capacity. For the largest volumes or east-facing transpacific strings, shippers often use Yantian in eastern Shenzhen, while Nansha (Guangzhou) and Hong Kong offer regional alternatives. Its short run to the factories of Shenzhen and Dongguan keeps Shekou attractive for time-sensitive consolidation and reefer cargo. Liner coverage, feeder network and customs infrastructure together make it a dependable choice in the western delta.
