Ningbo's water transport project completed a total fixed assets investment of 5.851 billion yuan, hitting a record high, said Ningbo Port And shipping Administration this Monday. Seven new dock berths with 10,000 tonne capacity was accomplished in 2012.
A number of key projects including Zhejiang LNG terminal pier, the No.10 and 11 berths in phase V of Beilun International Container Terminal, and Zhongzhai coal terminal were put into operation in 2012.

It is reported that Ningbo will built 6 dock berths with over 10,000-ton capacity in Meishan International Container Terminal and liquid chemical wharf in Zhenhai Port in 2013. The move will add 1,635 million tons to its port handling capacity and 1.8 million TEUs in its annual container handling capacity.
