With over 20 kmof deep-water front (water depth 】10 m) and only 100 km from the mouth of the Yangtze River, it is most favored for the development of ocean shipping. In ancient times, the port, known as Liujia port, was located on the mouth of the Liuhe, a smalltributary of the Yangtze River, east of the present port. During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was an important trading port, famous in the Chinese history especially for the fact that the great Chinese navigator of the early Ming dynasty, Mr. Zheng He (late 14th to early展开更多

Comparing the traffic volume of 1990 with that of 1975, the Japanese ports handled 7. 82 million TEUs in 1990 and 1.87 million TEUs in 1975 while the "Four Small Dragonsnhandied 18. 10 million TEUs in 1990 and 1.68 million TEUs in 1975,4.2 times and 10.75 times increase respectively.展开更多
