The Port of Tangshan (唐山港) is an artificial deep-water international seaport on the coast of Tangshan Municipality, Hebei, in Northern China.[1] It is the 9th largest port in China and is composed of three separate port areas: Jingtang, Caofeidian and Fennan, administered separately but considered to be the same port for statistical purposes.[2] The Port of Tangshan is one of the fastest growing ports in the world and is counted among the ten largest ports of China.[3]

Layout

The port of Tangshan consists of three separate port areas: Jingtang (京唐港), Caofeidian and Fennan.[4] These are administered separately and have different UNLocodes, but are often considered to be the same port for statistical purposes.[5] The closest airport to the port is Tianjin which is 2 hours away.[6] A new high speed train under construction will shorten the distance from Beijing to Tangshan to [7]less than 2 hours.
