Established on Aug 6, 2019, Shandong Port Group Co Ltd (SPG) is a provincial State-owned enterprise. Its headquarters is located in Qingdao, Shandong province.

SPG comprises four major port groups: Qingdao Port Group, Rizhao Port Group, Yantai Port Group and Bohai Bay Port Group. Qingdao Port (601298.SH, 06198.HK), Rizhao Port (600017.SH), and Rizhao Port Jurong (6117.HK) are listed companies.

The group operates in 12 sectors, including investment and control, port construction, logistics, shipping, cruise tourism, equipment, trade, technology, overseas development, vocational education, healthcare, and service development.

SPG has established an integrated and coordinated development pattern that has Qingdao Port as the main force, Rizhao Port and Yantai Port as supporting wings, Bohai Bay Port as an extension.

Additionally, the group operates 21 main port areas, over 370 production berths, and 340 container shipping routes.

Since its establishment, SPG has been firmly implementing the instructions of Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, regarding "prioritizing ocean development" and "accelerating the construction of world-class maritime ports".

SPG is presently focused on building internationally leading smart and green ports, logistics hub ports, financial and trade ports, urban-industrial integration ports, and cruise tourism ports.

By leveraging port advantages for development and embracing innovative approaches, SPG breaks away from the limitations of traditional port operations. Notably, the group has been accelerating the construction of the Northeast Asia shipping hub and has established numerous advanced models, such as the "Lian Gang Innovation Team". This has greatly enhanced the overall competitiveness and comprehensive influence of the enterprise.

SPG had in 2023 achieved a cargo throughput exceeding 1.7 billion metric tons and a container volume exceeding 40 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units).

Moving forward, SPG will adhere to the guidance provided in the Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, strive to open up new horizons, adhere to two-way integration of the east and west, and promote internal and external cooperation between land and sea.

The group's primary goal is to develop a world-class port cluster, with a strong emphasis on building a top-notch, comprehensive service system for supply chains centered around ports. This will enable SPG to establish core competitive advantages, drive high-quality development, and expedite the construction of a world-class marine port.
