Guangzhou will invest more than 100 billion yuan in 60 projects around the construction of the international shipping center. By 2017, the cargo throughput of Guangzhou Port will reach 550 million tons and the container throughput will reach 20 million TEUs. Around this goal, Guangzhou Port will promote a series of projects, including Nansha Port Phase III, Phase IV project, Nansha International Cruise Terminal project and so on.

It will also build a smart international shipping logistics hub, rely on Nansha Pilot Free Trade Zone, Nansha Bonded Port Zone and other parks, vigorously develop international transit, international distribution and international entrepot trade, accelerate the construction of bonded logistics and bonded offshore goods and other bases, and form a bonded logistics network system that is in line with the international market.

Air freight
