Quhuanggang

Quhuanggang is located in the northwest of Daqushan. It is adjacent to Daqushan in the South and huangzeshan and xiaoqushan in the north, so it is named after quhuanggang. It starts from Shanghai mountain in the East, so it is also called Shanghai qiaoliang port.

The port is 8 km long from east to west and 4 km wide from north to south, with a water area of 32 square kilometers. It is the largest and most important deep-water port in the northern part of Zhoushan, with water covered. The twin islands in the middle divide the port into two parts. After the islands are surrounded by dykes, they can form a semi artificial island with an area of 5 square kilometers and a deep water line of 5 kilometers in both north and south.

Huangzeshan port in the north is the best crude oil import port near the Yangtze River Estuary

First, it is only 57 km away from pudongnan huizui, so the cost of oil pipeline is low;

Second, there are two entrances. The east entrance is 23 meters deep, and 270000 DWT oil tankers (no bigger than the Strait of Malacca) can go in and out. The west entrance is 11.2 meters deep, and empty ships can go out;

Third, there are Gemini mountains in the south. The water area is well protected, and the port area is not a passing channel. After the oil tanker enters the port, the two ends can be closed with oil barriers, so the environmental protection conditions are good. This is very important for Zhoushan fishing ground. In addition, the wind and waves in the port area are also small.

Qubei port is to the south of the twin mountains, which is suitable for container port. Its advantages are as follows:

First, the geographical location is superior. The following lines meet here: the northern route, which is close to the sea of Jinshan port, is a deep route for some of the scheduled sections. Hong Kong is the only way for foreign ships to enter and leave Jinshan port, 57 km away from Jinshan port. Located on the north-south route, the oil tankers from Dalian to Chenshan and the coal tankers from Qinhuangdao to Dushan power plant (4.2 million kilowatts) and Caojing power plant (2.4 million kilowatts) all pass through the west side of Hong Kong. It is only 32 nautical miles away from HuChao port, with low ro ro freight. There are 23 islands and reefs in the middle, which can be used as piers when connecting with Pudong bridge. It is 73 nautical miles away from Waigaoqiao, and can load or unload containers for Waigaoqiao. The oil and gas pipeline from the East China Sea to Pudong passes through the northeast of Hong Kong. If a branch pipe is set up, energy can be easily obtained.
