Location Advantages
Zhenhai has been known as the "Gateway of East Zhejiang". Zhenhai is located in the middle of the coastline of mainland China, and in the south wing of the Yangtze River Delta region, bordering the Zhoushan Islands to the east, the Ningbo-Shaoxing Plain on the west, the Beilun Port in the south, and the Hangzhou Bay in the north, and is a close neighboring city of Shanghai separated only by a strip of water. Since ancient times, it has always been a main port for foreign exchanges and the starting port of the ancient Maritime Silk Road. The Zhenhai Port is a major component of the Ningbo Port, with an annual throughput capacity of over 12 million tons and the largest 50,000-ton liquid chemical dedicated berth in China. After the completion of the Hangzhou Bay Bridge and the landing of the Zhoushan Sea Crossing Bridge in Zhenhai, a new geographical dynamic of Zhenhai was fundamentally created, making Zhenhai fully integrated into the 2-hour traffic circle of Shanghai, Hangzhou and Ningbo. On January 29, 2013, the Zhenhai District of Ningbo City was selected as one of the first batch of national smart city pilots by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development of the People's Republic of China.

At the same time, the south side of the logistics hub port is located in the old urban area of Zhenhai, and its north side is next to the Zhenhai Refining & Chemical Company and the Ningbo Chemical Industry Zone, which is the main port industrial zone of the Zhenhai Port, providing favorable urban services and industrial development support for the logistics hub port area.
Railway Integration
The railway within the logistics hub port area is directly connected to the port operation area. According to the "Minutes of Meetings on Accelerating the Construction and Development of Railway in Ningbo" signed between the Ningbo City and the Ministry of Railways of the People's Republic of China, the Ministry of Railways of the People's Republic of China will support Ningbo in vigorously developing sea rail intermodal transportation, accelerating the construction of Ningbo railway rear channels and belt lines, improving the Ningbo railway network, and forming a hub node for the intersection of three railway channels stretching north, middle, and south. The logistics hub port will integrate the resources of the Hongzhen branch line of the railway, so as to improve its operational capacity, and enter a new stage in the construction of the inland transportation network.
