History

Location and Layout

Jingtang port is located in Bohai bay (Bohai sea) close to the port of Tianjin.

China MSA's Seaways Plan for the Bohai Sea. Planned routes follow closely the seaways currently in use

It is part of Tangshan port (along with Caofeidian and Fengnan), though Jingtang has a separate UN Locode and is specified as a separate entity in maritime charter parties and in bills of lading.[3][4] The closest airport to the port is that of Tianjin which is about 2 hours away.[5] A new high speed train under construction is expected to shorten the distance from Beijing to Tangshan to [6] even lesser.
