The Port of Tianjin (Tianjin Gang, Chinese: ; Main article: Layout of the Port of Tianjin
pinyin: tinjn gng), formerly known as the Port of
Tanggu, is the largest port in Northern China and the
main maritime gateway to Beijing. The name Tianjin
Xingang(Chinese: ; pinyin: tinjn xngng;
literally: Tianjin New Port), which strictly speaking
refers only to the main seaport area, is sometimes used to
refer to the whole port. The port is on the western shore
of the Bohai Bay, centred on the estuary of the Haihe
River, 170 km southeast of Beijing and 60 km east of
Tianjin city. It is the largest man-made port in mainland
China,* [7] and one of the largest in the world. It covers
121 square kilometers of land surface, with over 31.9 km
of quay shoreline and 151 production berths at the end of Tianjin Port
2010.* [8]
Location of the Port of Tianjin

million TEU of containers in 2013,* [9] making it the
world's fourth largest port by throughput tonnage and The Port of Tianjin is on the coast of Tianjin Municithe ninth in container throughput.* [10] The port trades pality, in the former county of Tanggu, on the coast bewith more than 600 ports in 180 countries and territo- tween the estuaries of the Haihe to the south and the New

On 12 August 2015, at least two explosions within 30 seconds of each other occurred at a container storage station
at the Port of Tianjin in the Binhai New Area of Tianjin,
China. The cause of the explosions was not immediately
known, but initial reports pointed to an industrial accident. Chinese state media said that at least the initial blast
was from unknown hazardous materials in shipping containers at a plant warehouse owned by Ruihai Logistics,
a rm specializing in handling hazardous materials.

3 HISTORY
Geophysical setting
However, it was not until after the conclusion of the

Second Opium War in 1860 that the port of Tanggu became an important transshipment center, allowing oceanMain article: Layout of the Port of Tianjin
The coastal area of Tianjin municipality before devel- going ships to lighter their cargoes to cross the very shallow sandbar barring the entrance to Haihe, the Taku Bar
(the name of this barrier was often used by foreign powers to refer to the entire port).
After the Boxer Rebellion, the whole of Tanggu came under foreign occupation, and those foreign powers developed an extensive network of quays on the riverside.* [16]
The capacity of the Tanggu and Tianjin river port was
limited, and so the Japanese occupation forces started
in 1940 the construction of the Tanggu Xingang seaport
(later the Tianjin Xingang port) outside the river estuary.* [17] By the end of the war, the new port was incomplete, and damage during the Chinese Civil War left it
unusable by the time of its capture in 1949.
The Communists reconstructed the Tanggu New Port
slowly. On 17 October 1952, it reopened for trac. At
the time, the main channel was dredged to 6 m depth,
could handle ships of up to 7,000 DWT and had an annual
throughput of only 800,000 tonnes less than 1/500 of
present capacity.* [18] The port remained small throughout the Maoist era, although it pioneered the rst container routes and dedicated container terminal in China.
The export boom that followed the post-1979 Reform
and Opening period put enormous pressure on the rickety
port infrastructure of China. Congestion became serious
enough to force reform by the central government: On 1

dredging, and it means that land reclamation is a costeective option for construction. Tianjin Port is by necessity largely man-made through dredging and reclamation.* [15]

Annual Throughput of the Port of Tianjin 19902011
The lower course and estuary of the Haihe is the main

stem of a large navigable basin, as well as the westernmost seashore of the North China Plain, and there have
been major ports on the area at least since the late Eastern
Han Dynasty. The river port at the junction of the Grand
Canal served as both an inland port and seaport supplying
the northeast border of Chinese states. Since 1153, it was
the critical supply hub for what is now Beijing.
Production then increased in leaps and bounds. In 1988

throughput passed the 20 million tonnes milestone, and
in the ten years from 1993, annual throughput growth averaged 10 million tonnes every year. In December 2001,
the port was the rst port in north China to reach the 100
million tonnes mark.* [19] In 2004 it reached 200 million
tonnes, in 2007 300 million tonnes and in 2010 400 mil-

lion tonnes. The container handling capacity of the port the Haihe river channel are separate fairways with slightly
increased from 0.4 million TEU in 1992, to 2.4 million dierent regulations.
TEU in 2002, 7.1 million TEU in 2007, and more than
10 million TEU in 2010.
The structure of the port also changed. In 1992, Tianjin Port Storage and Transportation Company was made
into a joint stock company under the full ownership of
the Tianjin Port Bureau. In 1996, it was converted into
the Tianjin Port Holdings Company (TPC) and listed
in the Shanghai stock market. In 1997, Tianjin Development Holdings, which owned the container-handling assets of the Port, was listed in Hong Kong. Its port assets
were later spun out as the Tianjin Port Development
Company (TPD) and listed in the Hong Kong exchange
in 2006.
4.1 Anchorages
Tianjin Port has six main anchorage areas and two temporary anchorages. All anchorages are designated for all
functions berth waiting, quarantine, inspection and pilotage and provide little shelter from weather or rough
seas. Bottom hold is poor to very poor. Anchored vessels are advised to keep ve cables of clearance, as anchor
dragging is common (up to 510 NM in a day in winter,
due to drifting ice).* [24]
The PTA delayed corporatization to steer the passing of 4.2

the 11th ve-year development plan for the port.* [20]
The transition was only completed on 3 June 2004, when
the PTA became the last major Port Authority in China to
become a corporation: the Tianjin Port (Group) Company ( () , or TPG by its English
acronym).* [21]
Shiplocks and tidal barriers
The nancial tsunami of 2008 hit Chinese ports particularly hard, as they depended heavily on foreign trade
ows. The Tianjin Port did better than average due to
its diversication: While container business plummeted,
bulk trade (in particular iron ore) remained strong. Nevertheless, the crisis hit prots hard, and it convinced
the Tianjin government to reorganize and streamline the
structure of the Port, which they did in 2009 by having
TPD (the smaller operator, but one with the useful foreign registration and access to foreign capital markets)
take over TPC. Simultaneously, ownership of TPD was
transferred from Tianjin Development Holdings (a subsidiary of the Tianjin Ministry of Commerce) to TPG. By
the time the merger was concluded, on 4 February 2010,
all operations in the Tianjin Port had been consolidated
under TPG.
The Port of Tianjin was adversely aected by a large
industrial-scale accident in August 2015. On August 12,
a series of explosions took place at a port chemical storage facility in Binhai, causing 123 deaths and over 700
injuries. The blast had the equivalent of 21 metric tons
of TNT or a magnitude-2.9 earthquake, according to the
China Earthquake Networks Center. 50 other people remain missing.* [22]* [23] Eight additional explosions occurred on 15 August 2015.

areas.
The Tianjin Municipality People's Government Port Services Oce ( )
was set up in May 2009 to streamline port operations,
in particular customs and inspection clearance procedures.* [29]* [30]
Tianjin Maritime Safety Bureau: Harbormaster powers for the Port of Tianjin are mostly vested on the Tianjin Maritime Safety Bureau (), which is the
local agency of the China Maritime Safety Administration.* [31]* [32]* [33]* [34]* [35]
Maritime Law: The Port of Tianjin falls under the jurisdiction of the Tianjin Maritime Court for all matters
of national and international Maritime law, including all
forms of maritime contracts, torts and oenses.* [36]
5.2 Inspection and clearance

The Haihe Second Barrier from the east.
The nal hydraulic structure of the Tianjin Port is the

Haihe Second Barrier (Chinese: ; pinyin:
hih rdozh) at Dongnigucun, in the Jinnan district.
The Second Barrier is also an open-type sluice barrier,
with 8 vertical-rising gates allowing an average ow of
1200 m3 /s. The barrier, opened in July 1984, closes ship
trac upriver into Tianjin city proper, and its erection resulted in the abandonment of 29.3 km of navigable channel.* [28]
Port governance
Inbound ships, cargo and personnel require clearance

by four main government bodies: China Customs for
customs declaration, Border Inspection for migration
formalities, China Inspection and Quarantine for quarantine and fumigation, and the MSA for ship and crew
safety regulations. Obtaining clearance from these
so-called One Customs Three Inspections(
) used to be a protracted process, and one of the
continued foci of port reform is to speed up the clearance procedures and reduce their (still signicant) burden.* [37]* [38]* [39]* [40]* [41]* [42]* [43]* [44]* [45]* [46]* [47]
5.3 Port management

State regulation and supervision
The Port of Tianjin falls under the supervisory and regulatory purview of the Tianjin Municipality People's Government. The 2004 incorporation of the Tianjin Port Authority into TPG formally divested the group of its role as
Port Regulator, which passed to the Tianjin Transportation and Port Authority (
), formerly the Tianjin Transport Commission. The
TTPA implements state policy on port work; drafts local
policies, by-laws and regulations; and licenses, audits, and
issues certications to businesses operating in the port, in
particular to ship terminals. The TTPA supervises and
manages compliance to all laws and regulations regarding
environmental protection, service compliance, pilotage,

vessels in the Port's fairway, anchorages and berths. The
VTS Center is located in an 88 m tall control tower at
the eastern end of the Dongtudi (East Pier), and has
two subordinate monitoring stations at Dongjiang and
Lingang. Its control area extends 20 nautical miles
(37 km) from the tower. Compliance with the VTSC's
authority is mandatory, and all ships must maintain
watch on its VHF channel (Ch. 9) while on the port
area. On the Haihe, both VHF 09 and 71 must be on
watch.* [32]* [49]* [50]* [51]* [52]* [53]* [54]* [55]* [56]* [57]* [58]* [59]* [60]

TPG also serves as Port Landlord, providing basic municipal services (including roads, power, water and sewerage) and other services, extending from construction
materials to printing services, to the port's tenant operators. In this role, TPG maintains quasi-municipal authority over port areas. Finally, as with all Chinese SOEs,
the control and coordination role of the local Communist
Party units is signicant, as is the common cross-sharing

of personnel among related units.

The maritime governance regime in China is peculiar in

its multiplicity of actors and apparent duplication of labor. Five major agencies (MSA, SOA, CCG, FLEC,

safety and administrative duties, with much overlap in
formal remits. These agencies' responsibilities reect the

The Port of Tianjin is a state-owned enterprise (SOE),

run as an independent corporation, with separate nances
and a commercial orientation. The Port Owner is the
Tianjin Municipality People's Government (
), through the Tianjin SASAC (Tianjin State Assets Supervision and Administration Committee
), which is the full owner of
the Tianjin Port (Group) Company (TPG). TPG's board
is appointed by the Tianjin government. TPG is the effective holding company and main Port Operator, and it
owns or has a stake on the majority of the Port's various
operating outts.

Tianjin Port Ownership

Structure After the 2009 Merger
The ownership structure of the Tianjin Port after the 2009
merger. Green boxes are foreign-registered entities, blue boxes
are mainland-registered
The core activity of the Port is, naturally, cargo handling

and processing. As a comprehensive port, it handles all
sort of cargoes, including dry and liquid bulk, general
cargo, containers, vehicles, and passengers. Tianjin Port
operates 365 days a year, 24 hours a day (on three shifts
at 00:0008:00, 08:0016:00 and 16:0024:00).
9.1 Port production

Docking terminals and wharves: As of 2011, the Port
had 217 berths (including service berths); 90 berths were
capable of accommodating ships over 10,000 DWT. Of
these, 72 could dock ships over 50,000 DWT; 30 over
100,000 DWT, 23 over 150,000 DWT, 5 over 200,000
DWT, and 2 over 300,000 DWT.* [113]
The Port's docking terminals are operated by autonomous
companies that are mostly either fully owned by, or are
joint ventures withTPC or TPD. While the 2004 Port
Law allowed full foreign ownership of port facilities, TPG
is still the majority shareholder of all but a few of the
Port's main terminals, excepting single-company (customs type II) terminals. Additional stevedoring personnel
is provided by a number of labor services companies afliated to various operators.
This has created somewhat of a functional division. The

listed TPD, directly or through TPC, controls all terminals and direct cargo-handling operations. TPG still directly controls most of the utility, support and ancillary
units related to the Port, and retains control of strategic
planning. TPG is also directly or indirectly a party in 53

These facilities range from temporary sand unloading

Port operations

The subsidiaries and partial-ownership partners of TPG
are involved in all facets of port operation, including
stevedoring, shipping agency, cargo handling, storage and
transportation, infrastructure management, communications and information services, nancial services, power
supply, real estate development, health care, personnel
Scheduling and Dispatching: The Tianjin Port

Group's Operations Department (
) is in charge of coordinating the productive operation of the Port, and must be informed of all ship movements and major operations. The production schedule
(ship movement plan) is arranged by the TPG Dispatch
Control Center (), in coordination with the wharf operators, the MSA, and the
pilot center. The Dispatch Center organizes ship movements, tracks pilotage operations, and supervises terminal
operations via real-time CCTV monitoring.* [115] The
Dagukou port area has a separate dispatching center (
).* [61]
Harbor Craft: The main provider of harbor craft is the
Tianjin Port Tug & Lighter Company.* [116] The TTLC
operates the harbor tugs, reboats, pilot boats and other
ancillary craft such as the crew boat Xinbinhai, or the
sightseeing boat Xinhaimen (used for inspection and visiting VIPs). The company operates 26 harbor tugs (between 2,600 HP and 6,000 HP of power), 5 pilot ships,
7 other ancillary crafts, 2 oating cranes (120 t and 200
t capacity); and around three dozen lighters, the largest

Channel maintenance: The Tianjin Dredging Company * [123] () is the organic waterway management company of the Tianjin Port Group. As of January 2010, the TDC deployed 100 boats, and had the
largest dredging capacity of China, with a capacity of 300
million cubic meters and more than 500,000 kW of vessel
power.* [119] Despite these numbers, the scale of fairway
expansion and land reclamation in the Port means that
several other construction companies operate large numbers of dredging vessels as well.* [124]
Two harbor tugs at the First Pier Tug Wharf
Dredging the Haihe Channel is the responsibility of the

PORT OPERATIONS
Seafarers: As the port of a major city, facilities available to crews on shore leave are extensive, if somewhat
dicult to reach. The International Seamen's Club (
) is located at Xingang Liumi
Road, opposite the Bomesc shipyard.* [147] Around two
dozen crew management companies provide replacement
crews at all times.* [148]
9.4 Ship repair and shipbuilding facilities
A water tender and a bunker tender resupplying a freighter at the

First Stevedoring Co. wharf.
(now a TPG subsidiary) retained its exclusive rights in

Tianjin until 2009, and the end of the monopoly resulted
in a black gold rush of competing bunkerage companies:
Sinopec Zhoushan entered the Tianjin market in October
2010, followed in December 2010 by SinoBunker,* [137]
and in June 2011, by China Changjiang Bunker.* [138]
This sudden rise in competition resulted in a serious price
war and crashing prices in 2011.* [139] Most forms of
maritime fuels are available, primarily IFO 180 cSt and
380 cSt; IFO 120 cSt, MDG, MDO and other diesels are
available.* [140] Bunkering operations are done by fuel
tender, as most berths do not have fueling equipment.
Equally, drinking water is mostly delivered by tender.
Chandlery and Supplies: Several dozen ship chandlers
are capable of supplying all necessary deck, engine and
cabin stores, and all other provisions both at berth or at
anchorage. The oldest international chandler is Tianjin
Ocean Shipping Supply company (
),* [141] owned by the Tianjin government. Most spare
parts are available locally, and special orders can be own
in easily.
Cleaning and Sanitation Services: Bilge, slops and
ballast water disposal is a major pollution hazard for the
Bohai Bay, and it is tightly regulated by the MSA. Only
specially authorized enterprises can engage in their removal and disposal, or in tank cleanup.* [142] Nevertheless, illegal dumping of ballast water is a persistent problem and one of the Port's major law enforcement challenges. Ships carrying oil or liquid chemicals, and all
ships over 10,000 gt are required to sign anAgreement
for Ship Pollution Response* [143] with one of four authorized emergency spill response companies.* [144]
Tianjin Port Harbor Service Company (
) is the Group's organichousekeepingservice,
providing cabin, hold and bedding clean-up, and garbage
disposal for ships at berth.* [145] Other companies are
available for all sorts of cleaning, disinfection and deck
maintenance, fteen companies are authorized for ship
garbage collection.* [146]
A ship under construction at the Bomesc Fabrication Site
Tianjin Port has several ship repair and shipbuilding facilities capable of carrying out almost all forms of ship
repair and retting for all but the largest ships, and those
capabilities are increasing rapidly.
The Tanggu port area was one of the earliest modern
shipbuilding areas of China. The still-functioning Taku
Dockyard (now the Tianjin City Shipyard) was founded
in 1880, and is the oldest modern dockyard in Northern
China. Many small shipyards operated in the Haihe region, but most have closed in recent years, or will soon
close to make way for the large development projects of
the Binhai Urban Core.
The main ship repair facility in the port is the CSIC Tianjin Xingang Shipyard. Founded in 1939, it is located
at the very end of the main harbor basin, right next to
the Haihe shiplock. Immediately next to it is the CCCC
Bomesc Maritime Industry's facility (built in 2007).
On the Nanjiang region, Singapore's Sembawang Shipyard entered in 1997 to the rst foreign joint shipyard
project in China, in partnership with Bohai Oil. That
shipyard is now the CNOOC Bohai Oil BOHIC subsidiary.* [149]* [150]
A large number of ship repair companies oer
maintenance services at berth, and the Tianjin Wuzhou
Marine Service Engineering Co. (
) oers anchorage and under-way repairs
using its specialized ship Jinyuanhangxiu 1 ( 1
), one of only ve such vessels in China.* [151]

The Tianjin Port International Trade and Shipping Service Center.
The Tianjin International Trade and Shipping Service Center () provides

one-stopservice for all sorts of aspects of shipping and
trade, with a core mission of centralizing and streamlining the clearance process.* [164] The Center aggregates
270 government service windows from 14 government
agencies, including customs, inspection and quarantine,
maritime safety, border control, trac control, maritime
court, electronic customs clearance, business taxes, and
state audit and supervision.
The Tianjin Xingang Passenger Terminal
The Tianjin Xingang Passenger Terminal (

) is run by the Tianjin Passenger Company, and
provides ferry services and coastal cruises.* [168] Two
main regular ferry lines and one summer-only ferry line
leave Tianjin, serviced by a eet of three Ro-Ro ferry
boats. There are two international destinations, Kobe in
Japan and Incheon in South Korea, and one national destination, Dalian in Liaoning Province.* [169]
The Dongjiang shipping services area is still under development, and aims to form a cluster of specic shipping services. Taking advantage of its favorable tax
and currency exchange regime, the Dongjiang Bonded
Port intends to attract a cluster of enterprises related
to the nancing of ship leasing and shipbroking, and to
other forms of shipping nancing, including oshore nancial services, oshore banking, marine insurers and
P&I clubs, ship registration, local oces of the leading
classication societies, etc.* [165]
Shipping Agencies: Engaging a shipping agent is
mandatory for all foreign agged ships, and Tianjin has
several dozen such outts operating at present. The
largest agents are Tianjin Penavico (
), owned by TPG, and Tianjin Sinoagent (
),* [166] a subsidiary of Tianjin Sinotrans.
Agencies have fairly extensive obligations as intermediaries for most paperwork procedures involving TPG, ship
operators, or government agencies,* [167] as well as their

Transportation and logistics

Transportation and logistics
Internal waterways: The three main port areas are fairly

poorly connected by road, requiring rather long detours to
transport any cargo or equipment between them. While
several bridges and tunnels directly linking Dongjiang
with Beijiang and Nanjiang areas are projected for future development, these are still in early planning stages.
To help relieve this internal bottleneck, in April 2010
the Port introduced a lighter route connecting Nanjiang
(N-10 berth) and Beijiang (Tianjin Container Terminal),
using one heavy barge (7800 DWT, 200 TEU).* [181]
Another regular lighter route connecting Beijiang with
Dongjiang was established on September 2010.* [182]
Storage, transportation and all forms of logistics processing are the core activity of the Port, and it is no surprise
that the majority of its land surface is dedicated to storage
and processing facilities, with several million km2 of storage yards, warehouses and tank farms operated by dozens
of enterprises. There are two large-scale purpose-built lo- Railroads: Two main lines (First and Second Port Railgistics areas designed to provide support and facilities to roads: ) serve the Beijiang and Nanjiang
areas respectively. The Jinji Railway connects these lines

) connect into the Nanjiang and Lingang areas.
These feeder roads connect in turn with the thick BeijingTianjin road hub, with seven radial expressways from
Beijing and four from Tianjin. Of these, the Jinji Expressway (S1) is the main alternative route into Beijing
(through Pinggu) and the Northwest (through the 6th
Ring Road and the G6 Jingla Expressway), while the G25
Changzhen Expressway is the main North-South connector.
Airports: The Port is 30 minutes away from Tianjin
Binhai International Airport, and 120 min from Beijing
Capital International Airport. Two small general aviation aerodromesTanggu Airport () and Binhai Eastern General Heliport ()
provide oshore helicopter shuttles and other services
to Port operators.
11.2 Logistics centers, yards and warehouses
Internal port railroad approaching the Fourth Stevedoring Company wharf on the Beijiang Third Pier
as a de facto ring railroad. A web of around 60 km of

internal railways goes deep into the wharves and storage
yards of the Beijiang area. The Nanjiang area is primarily
connected through the Nanjiang Rail Bridge. This bridge
was expanded to double-track in 2010, for an annual capacity of 70 million tonnes. A second bridge is under
construction. A conveyor belt corridor runs parallel to
the railway, carrying coal and ore to the Bulk Logistics
Center.* [183]
Highways and roads: The internal roads in the Port
carry an enormously heavy, noisy and noisome ow of
trac, and trac jams are not uncommon at certain bottlenecks. The internal roads at the three main Port areas form a broken grid pattern, the east-west roads connecting with the expressways that feed the port. The
main north-south roads are the Yuejin road transxing
the Container Logistics Center, the Meizhou (Americas)
Road in the Dongjiang Area.
The Tianjin Port Container Logistics Center (

) is located in the north part of the
Beijiang area, in 7.03 km of reclaimed land. The Center currently hosts 42 logistics enterprises, and it has 350
hectares of yard space, 26 hectares of warehouses, or
about 60% of the Port's container handling capacity.
Tianjin Port International Logistics Development Co.
Ltd. (TPL) was established in 2003 to take charge of the
development, construction, operation and management of
the Center.* [184]
The Tianjin Port Bulk Logistics Center (
) opened on 2000, built on 26.8 km2 of former salt ats to the south of Donggu. It serves as a large
storage and distribution area for coal, ore and other bulk
cargoes. As of April 2011, there were 268 enterprises
operating within it.* [185] The Bulk Logistics Center is
being progressively relocated south, to the Nangang area,
to free its land for urban development (i. e. the Binhai
Central New Town )
The 12-5 plan envisages six large logistics parks in the

port area by 2015: the Container Logistics and Bulk
Cargo Centers will be upgraded to Parks(with additional policy privileges), joined by the newly established
Nangang Chemical Logistics Park (

Notes
[1] pilot stationsare teams specialized in a set of berths

rather than distinct physical posts, as all three are located
in the same building
[2] As the expressway follows the original coastline, most of
the land east of the road is reclaimed land, including most
of the Port.
[3] Tianjin Port is often named in publicity material as the
start of the Chinese branch of Eurasian Land Bridge. Ofcially, however, the port of Lianyungang is the Bridge's
start. Tianjin is indeed the proposed railhead of the
UNESCAP Intermodal Transport Corridor 1 from Busan
to Yekaterinburg via Irkutsk.
