China’s export volumes may still be dropping as a result of still sluggish global demand – total exports for the first three-quarters of 2009 fell 21.3 per cent year on year, to USD846.65 billion – but the ongoing investment in export infrastructure may reap significant dividends for one of China’s fastest-growing ports.
Dalian port, located in Liaoning province on the northeast coast, plans to raise RMB2.8 billion from an IPO on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, scheduled for April 2010. The share sale would make Dalian the first port in China to have a dual listing on both the Hong Kong and Shanghai stock markets.
The funds raised by Dalian Port’s IPO will be channelled towards expanding this year’s expected throughput of 46 million twenty-foot containers by 10 per cent in 2010. The port’s bold growth plans come despite a 49 per cent drop year on year in net profit for the first half of 2009.
