Rudong Yangkou Harbour is a harbour in Rudong County, Nantong city, Jiangsu Province, China. The harbour buildings are the only ones in central China's coastal 300,000 tons of natural deep water harbour. In recent years, the government have devised a scientific plan for the future of the entire county's economy, and forecast long-term expectations. Coastal development, including a large international port and the rational exploitation of marine resources in the Yangtze River Delta region, with the support and cooperation of the national government, is intended to lead to a substantial increase in the region's economic growth.

History
The yangkou harbor, from discovery through development to deepen the study, to project forward, to fight several ups and downs of the process. Rudong government at national, provincial and municipal departments support, since the 1980s has been carried out over 20 years of preparatory work.
(1) Twenty years ago, a comprehensive survey of Jiangsu coastal resources found outside the group in a foreign port through the Pacific deep-water channel, from 1986 to 1996, by the people's government Rudong, an Air Ministry commissioned hospital, Nanjing University, Hohai University and other research institutes and universities to design Western Port waters of the basic situation and conditions of exploration projects to build Hong Kong study, these units were underwater topography, hydrologic and sediment, tide wave, analysis of the geological structure of the survey, forming a "Western Port in Jiangsu pre-feasibility study report", "Blue The yangkou harbort of Nantong Shayang waterways and port stability analysis report", "Jiangsu gas turbine power plant project and the West the sun sand blue Shayang stability and Betterment of Hong Kong preliminary study of natural conditions "and other authoritative reports. And adopted by the academician, academicians Yan Kai, Liu Ji-Zhou Academy of Engineering, marine ports and other committee of experts led many experts to review. Review comments that: Shayang waterway and where the blue waters of the basic stability, and depth of blue waterways Shayang large, deep range, distribution directly to the open sea, the minimum water depth of -14 meters (the abandoned Yellow River base surface), there are shoals on both sides of the cover, small waves, over the years, the location and depth of deep grooves stable. 12.5 ~ 135,000 cubic meters of large LNG carriers can directly enter the harbor, is to build off an excellent open-terminal port site.
(2) in the project based on the study by early 1997, we commissioned the National Oceanic and two pairs of project area tidal, wave, hydro, respectively, measured for a period of one year, accumulated a large base of engineering data, the same year, research program to improve the level of artificial islands, the county commissioned the Air Ministry an artificial island hospital to carry out research, completion of the "gas turbine power plant project in Jiangsu artificial island terminal construction program preliminary feasibility study." At the same time the county is also actively invited internationally renowned companies such as Formosa Plastics Group, visit The yangkou harbort, the port to expand the visibility and continue to fight for provincial and national construction in The yangkou harbort LNG project is supported by work for the next phase of development and construction laid the foundation.
(3) 2002 Nantong Municipal Government changing the new international situation, made timely implementation of the "Hong Kong City, Jiangsu strategy", to open up the construction of coastal ports, the development of port industrial zone, improve the acceptance of international industrial transfer of capital and the carrying capacity of to promote the development of Nantong The yangkou harbort coastal development, implementation Jianghai linkage, Jianghai of Hing. In this context, entered the boost phase. Nantong Municipal Government in Hong Kong Fair as an opportunity to vigorously promote the The yangkou harbort, and in March 2003 was successfully held in Nanjing, "Jianghai forum", further expanding the impact of Western Port.
(4) September 2003, "long flight River Road" wheels smoothly into the waterway, to achieve a smooth navigation The yangkou harbort symbolic breakthrough wheel. Subsequently, the Harbor Industrial Zone inning started. In December 2004, Nanjing, Nantong city successfully held in The yangkou harbort development briefing, at which the leaders make it clear that the Western Port Province, the plan into the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" and "triangle" Planning. In the meantime, the oil entered the LNG projects such as the East, the port of wind power projects, straw power generation projects have started, a number of large foreign multinational corporations showed interest in investing in Hong Kong export in April this year, the National Development and Reform Commission issued a formal letter of consent Rudong LNG project to carry out preliminary work, The yangkou harbort Development launched a new climax.
The yangkou harbort on October 28, 2008 Preliminary shipping; the port industry as "the development of large port petrochemical, energy, metallurgy, and modern logistics industry." The yangkou harbort is completed, there will be 62-ton dock, which two 30-ton, 12 ton 10. At present, the matching of artificial islands Sun Island (the main port services), railway stations, airports and other infrastructure facilities are under construction. Leading into the sea of artificial islands Sun Island Bridge has been completed.
The yangkou harbort depth development, Jiangsu will open a new channel into the sea Chujiang to optimize the layout of the Yangtze River Delta port, port function in the development of Shanghai international shipping center with complementary advantages. This will help the center to form a Shanghai, Ningbo Port to the south wing, The yangkou harbort to the north wing, while the Yangtze river port for the extension of various combinations of port layout of the Yangtze River Delta, Yangtze River Delta economic development to change the north weak south strong the pattern.
Rudong
Rudong County is in Nantong, a prefecture-level city in the southeast of Jiangsu Province, in the north wing of the Yangtze River Delta, which is at the heart of the region traditionally called Jiangnan. Rudyong is one of three counties in the north of Nantong City, to the east of Rugao city. Located on the east coast of Jiangsu, Rudong was an ancient transport hub. Some of the deepest, longest and most stable channels of the Yangtze River lie close to where the river drains into the East China Sea; the river's depth around Rudong is more than 15 meters, therefore making for natural harbor construction conditions.
Harbour location
A decade of surveys by dozens of domestic research and design departments have resulted in the construction of a 10-30 ton deep-water port in natural conditions. The harbour can rely on the deep-water advantages of an ocean port, with convenient collection and distribution facilities, and a flexible transport system, the construction of various types of container berths, bulk cargo berths, berths imported crude oil, ore transshipment berths, liquefied natural gas berths etc. Rich land and water resources have fueled the establishment of large-scale petrochemical, metallurgy, shipbuilding and other projects, to develop the port industry. With China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the western port hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta has increasingly attracted international capital as well as domestic investment, resulting in a demand for energy, raw materials and products in large quantities. There is an urgent demands for coastal port facilities, which provides excellent opportunities both for developers and around the Yangtze River estuary, and for foreign investors. After completion, the Yangtze River Ocean Port will become the anchor of further economic prosperity in Jiangsu, complementing the Shanghai international shipping center.
