First Feeder Service Links Yantian with Jiuzhou, Zhuhai

YICT and ZICT(J), both members of the Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group, are two important terminals in the Group’s port network in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) region. With the new Jiuzhou-Yantian Feeder Service, cargo from the western PRD can be transported to YICT by barge for export, further strengthening the Group’s service network in the region.

With the shifting of the manufacturing base to the western PRD, there is a growing demand for barge transportation to international container terminals for export. YICT has also taken the initiative in expanding its feeder network and reaching cities include Zhongshan, Xiaolan, Shenwan, Shunde, Jiangmen and Jiuzhou.

ZICT(J) has the most number of barge services in Zhuhai, taking up over 60% of the market share. It has been playing an important role in connecting Zhuhai with overseas markets.
