PORTUGAL's first largest artificial and deep-water port, the Port of Sines recently played host to a delegation from the Yantian Port, accompanied by the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Lisbon. Besides discussing cooperation possibilities between the two ports, the delegation was also interested in the logistic potential of the Sines complex, highlighting the capacity to attract new investments, not only within the port jurisdiction area, but also at Sines Industrial and Logical Zone (ZILS). The Port of Yantian is the main port of Shenzhen, representing nearly 56 per cent of the total cargo handled by the ports located in the area. Yantian is also one of the ports of call on a weekly service connecting the Port of Sines to the Far East through the Sines Container Terminal - Terminal XXI, reports New York's Maritime Professional.
