Inland ports eye investors for projects

Inland ports along the Yangtze River will offer projects worth a total of eight billion yuan (US$1.03 billion) to woo domestic and foreign investors at a conference next month, an organizer said yesterday. The Yangtze Business Network 2007, scheduled to be held on April 12 in Shanghai, will be the first such event to lure investors to develop terminals long the so-called "Golden Waterway," which stretches 6,300 kilometers through seven provinces and the municipalities of Shanghai and Chongqing. Shipping giants including Maersk Line and CMA-CGM are expected to attend the event, said Zhang Tingting, China consultant for Alain Charles Publishing, the organizer. Port authorities along the river will promote the projects in cities such as Wuhan, Tongling, Jingjiang and Yibin at the event, she said. The conference will also be followed by site tour to some ports upstream.
