In 2007, the total harbor capacity has increased from 0.14 billion in 2007 to 0.164 billion which is the highest growth since Qingdao implements the strategy of “moving ports to the west”. With many big projects being constructed, Qingdao has improved the capacity of its ports. Qianwan Port has become the backbone of the operating ports in Qingdao City as the strategy of “moving ports to the west” is implemented. Furthermore, Dongjiakou Port, located in Huangdao District becomes the port with greatest potential.
