As this year marks the start of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30), the Yangkou Port Economic Development Zone in Rudong county of Nantong, Jiangsu province, is stepping up efforts to position itself as a key growth engine for high-quality maritime development in the province.

It is doing this by focusing on strategic investment and project development in the core industries of new materials, new energy and new equipment.

The zone has outlined clear investment strategies for its core industries. In new materials, efforts are concentrated on enhancing existing clusters and pioneering advanced materials like nanomaterials. In the new energy sector, it leverages local resources to build large-scale new energy battery bases, establish a green methanol industry, and create new growth drivers for bio-based green fuels.

Meanwhile, in the new equipment industry, the zone is focusing on developing a heavy equipment cluster and leveraging data center projects to cultivate emerging smart computing equipment sector, driving the industry toward high-end and intelligent advancements.

Nowadays, the zone is bustling with construction projects. The park provides comprehensive support, ensuring smooth project execution.

Major undertakings such as PetroChina's fourth phase project are progressing steadily, backed by dedicated service teams.

Yangkou Port is committed to upgrading its industrial capabilities. Adhering to the principle of boosting the port through industrial development, it strives to integrate port and industry, as well as promote industry with innovation. The port closely ties project construction with strengthening, supplementing, and extending industrial chains to ensure every project becomes a "booster" for industrial upgrading and every established enterprise becomes a part of the industrial cluster.

With clear goals set for new projects and given the continuous development of core industries, Yangkou Port is poised to achieve significant growth during the 15th Five-Year Plan period.
