By the Bohai Bay, the spring tide surges. At the Jingtang Port Area of Tangshan Port in Hebei, several ten-thousand-ton giant ships navigate the channel in an orderly manner. A fully enclosed aerial transportation corridor operates efficiently, delivering iron ore unloaded from cargo ships to the raw material warehouses of steel enterprises several kilometers away.

　　"Delivering raw materials to the doorstep of enterprises is seamless logistics and a vivid example of the synergy between Tangshan's ports and industries," said Luo Tongzhen, Deputy Director of Tangshan's Marine Port and Shipping Administration Bureau. Tangshan is accelerating port-industry integration and land-sea coordination, promoting unified planning for the hinterland, coastal areas, and oceans, as well as integrated development of ports, industries, and cities, continuously activating the "blue engine" of high-quality development.

　　To promote the high-quality development of the marine economy, ports are the driving force. In recent years, Tangshan has accelerated the construction of 12 port projects, fostering the development of shipping services, shipping finance, and other industries; improved the collection and distribution system, deepened cooperation with Shanghai Port, and further increased the density of domestic and international trade routes. Relying on major railway lines such as Jizhong and Jingha, Tangshan has strengthened inland port construction, creating an international land-sea corridor covering the northwest and connecting Mongolia and Russia. In the first quarter, Tangshan Port achieved a cargo throughput of over 200 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 3.67%.

　　In the Tangshan Seaport Economic Development Zone, Hebei Kuojian Iron Tower Manufacturing Co., Ltd.'s 500,000-ton iron tower intelligent manufacturing project has developed industries relying on the port, extending the coastal "industrial chain." "We have benefited from the 'front port, rear factory' model," said Ma Jiangqiao, the project's technical director. The project's raw materials mainly come from local steel enterprises, and some products are exported to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. The "local sourcing and nearby transformation" model has significantly reduced the company's logistics costs.
