Wuxi in East China's Jiangsu province recently rolled out a plan to develop a unique water transport, local media outlets reported on Sept 18.

The plan states that the city will build a high-level ports cluster. By 2025, Wuxi (Jiangyin) Port will add three 150,000-metric ton or above berths for seagoing vessels and eight routes, and its annual container throughput will reach 1 million twenty-foot equivalent units.

Wuxi will improve the inland waterways and construct a secondary waterway network to increase transport competency. By 2025, Wuxi will have another 39 kilometers of main shipping lanes at secondary level and about 150 km of main shipping lanes at third level or above.

By the same year, there will be 3.4 service centers every 100 km along the waterways in Wuxi and the major cargo handling operations at Sunan International Container Terminal will be fully automatic.

To create environmentally friendly water transport, more than 75 percent of the cargo handling operation in local ports will be powered by new energy and clean energy and over 95 percent of the pollutants of vessels will be disposed of after being transferred to the nearest processing center.
