Yantai was born by the sea and prospered because of the port. The port is an important support for building a new development pattern of "dual circulation", an important component of building an international comprehensive transportation hub city, and an important carrier for building a modern international coastal city in the new era. At present, Yantai is accelerating its entry into the ranks of cities with a regional GDP of trillions of yuan by implementing the advanced manufacturing city strategy and expanding high-level opening up.

Since its establishment, Shandong Port has actively integrated into the new development pattern, solidly promoted integrated reforms, and achieved a steady and positive development trend. It has taken solid steps in transformation and development, and achieved a double leap in cargo and container throughput in 2022.
At present, Shandong Port is deeply studying and implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, based on the hub platform function, amplifying the role of the core node of the supply chain, actively cultivating a modern shipping comprehensive service system, promoting the "three-zone integration" and "four-port linkage", and accelerating the construction of the Northeast Asia International Shipping Hub Center.
