The dock is located at the intersection of China's coastal areas and the Yangtze River Golden Waterway's T-shaped route, with a suitable geographical location and convenient internal and external radiation. The average depth of the entrance channel is over 30 meters, and the world's largest container ship can freely enter and exit around the clock. The dock is protected by the Zhoushan Islands as a natural barrier, with gentle winds and waves, and no freezing or siltation. There is a vast land area behind the dock, providing ample space for the distribution of goods.
NBCT is actively building a world-class container terminal with the goal of "people-oriented, customer-oriented, technology-centered, and environmentally friendly". It aims to create a "five type port" that is "innovative, quality efficient, smooth, safe, and environmentally friendly". Its unique natural conditions and well connected road and railway networks, as well as the Hangzhou Bay Cross Sea Bridge and Zhoushan Island Bridge that have been built and used, and the deep sea rail intermodal transportation have attracted major container shipping companies from around the world to conduct business. At present, it has opened up long-distance trunk lines to South America, the Middle East, Europe, North America, India, Africa, Australia and other countries and regions, as well as offshore routes to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other countries and regions, becoming an important link in Zhejiang Province's foreign trade window and international logistics network.
