The construction of the port has progressing by leaps and bounds, with its accumulative investment hitting 288 million yuan.

The cooperation with foreign companies has been upgraded, and the functions of the port have been perfected.

The Rizhao Port has also contributed to the domestic economy, creating more than 30 billion assets in China.

The unique sunshine culture of the port has become an inner impulse for its development, which resonates, with sunshine, the Chinese meaning of Rizhao.
