China accelerates push for green, smart ports
Tianjin Port is a major gateway to northern China and a strategic hub in the Belt and Road Initiative. It also serves as the main seaport for Beijing, Tianjin and the Xiong'an New Area. For several years, it has ranked among the world's top 10 ports.
The port continues to grow. Between January and May, it handled 207 million metric tons of cargo, including 9.93 million containers — up 3.67 percent from the same period last year. It currently operates 37 sea-rail intermodal routes and completed 638,000 TEUs via sea-rail transport. It connects to more than 500 ports in over 180 countries and regions through 147 shipping lines.
Tianjin is also becoming a showcase for green and digital innovation. It has rolled out a fully domestically developed terminal control system, deployed smart connected vehicles in pilot operations, and built China's first smart monitoring systems for air quality and marine water around a port.
