Focusing on the construction of a smart port, Tanggang Shares insists on empowering production with intelligence. By deploying new equipment and renovating old equipment, they have promoted the implementation of innovative projects such as intelligent tallying, smart stowage planning, and hatch monitoring. This has improved intrinsic safety management levels, accelerated cargo turnover, and ensured efficient and smooth operations.
On this basis, Tanggang Shares continues to advance refined management, scientifically matching berths, shore cranes, equipment, and human resources to ensure seamless connection among ships, yards, trucks, and cargo. From January to March this year, the operational efficiency of specialized berths increased by 4.7% year-on-year.

"We closely monitor market changes, delve into the hinterland for cargo sources, explore high-quality cargo sources, and tailor personalized service plans for customers," Tang Bo introduced. The company continues to deepen port-port and port-ship coordination with the Caofeidian Port Area.

At the eastern section of the north shoreline of the Fourth Harbor Basin, the construction of the No. 51 and No. 52 bulk cargo berth projects is accelerating. As the first 300,000-ton berth project in Jingtang Port Area, upon completion, its annual handling capacity will reach 25.6 million tons, primarily for handling metal ores such as iron ore and nickel ore. This will significantly enhance the handling capacity for large cargo ships and inject new momentum into the long-term development of the port area.
