Longtousha Fishing Port

　　    Longtousha Fishing Port is the only Class III port in Lianjiang City approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, and also the city’s only deep-water port. It was first built in 1972 and went into operation in 1975, making certain contributions to the development of Lianjiang’s marine fisheries.

　　    To further develop the marine economy and promote trade and processing of seafood, Lianjiang City has clearly identified Longtousha Port Marine Industry Park as an important component of the “one corridor, two zones” construction plan this year. Currently, the provincial Department of Ocean and Fisheries has applied to the Ministry of Agriculture to designate it as a Class I fishing port under its management. It is also listed as one of the 17 key ports in Guangdong Province’s modern fishing port economic zone development project, with a total investment of 110 million yuan. The funds will mainly be used for dock construction, dredging projects, a port perimeter road, a seafood trading market, a fishermen’s new village, and related supporting facilities. Building upon the existing fishing port, it will be developed into a standardized, multi-functional industrial park that drives the growth of fishing, mariculture, transportation, fishing gear production, and seafood processing industries through marine sector development.

　　    Since municipal leaders conducted an on-site work session at the port in May, the city’s Department of Ocean and Fisheries, Cheban Town, and relevant departments have been tracking and implementing their respective tasks, specifically addressing infrastructure at the port, channel dredging, and road construction. Projects such as power supply, water supply, cold storage, oil depots, trading markets, and transportation infrastructure have also been launched successively, with the park beginning operations recently. In the near future, Longtousha Port Marine Industry Park will become a modern multi-purpose port for commerce, fishing, and tourism.
