As China's main passageway accessing the sea to the southwest, the Zhanjiang Port has successfully realized the goal of becoming a 100 million-ton port. Up till December 24, the Zhanjiang Port had handled 102.15 million tons of cargo, therefore ranking as the nation's 15th 100 million-ton port and the sole 100 million-ton port among China's southwestern coastal ports. At present, the Chinese government and Guangdong Province have already listed the Zhanjiang Port as one of the national and provincial major development projects. The Ministry of Transport designated the Zhanjiang Port to be the major port among the southwestern coastal ports in the National Coastal Ports Arrangement Planning.
