A major new coal terminal is to be built at Zhoushan Port at the Chinese city of Ningbo. It will have an annual capacity of 18.4 million tonnes and be the largest of its kind in the province of Zhejiang. Ships of up to 200,000dwt will be able to load at one quay, while a second will be limited to 50,000dwt. Both will be accessed by a 145 metre long bridge. The main role of the terminal will be to receive coal shipments from the north of China. Barry Cross
