Guangzhou Port Group will invest 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) during the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026–2030) to boost its handling capacity, Party chief and chairman Huang Bo announced at the fourth Greater Bay Area Port and Shipping Logistics Conference on November 28.
This follows the 26 billion yuan invested during the 14th Five-Year Plan, which has already added 120 million tons of annual capacity through projects such as the fully automated Nansha Phase Four Terminal and the Nansha International Logistics Center.
Nansha Port Area, the group's core hub, has added over 60 international routes during the current plan period. Its container throughput has risen by about one million TEUs annually, with this year's volume expected to exceed 22 million TEUs—including more than 12 million TEUs of foreign-trade containers, achieving double-digit growth.
The new investment will support the Nansha International Universal Terminal and Nansha Phase Five, adding 100 million tons of cargo capacity and 5 million TEUs of container throughput. These projects will boost efficiency, reduce vessel turnaround time, and improve schedule reliability.
The group will also expand international routes—including the Silk Road E-commerce Express—and develop premium coastal services to support China's dual-circulation strategy and enhance vessel utilization.
