Waterway-waterway transit modes play an important role in a port’s collection and distribution system. With the construction of Shanghai international shipping center and hub port in Northeast Asia, the sustainable development of Shanghai port proposes a higher requirement for the capacity of waterway-transit collection and distribution of Yangshan deep-water port. By analyzing the status of the collection and distribution system of Yangshan deep-water port, this paper studies the existing waterway-transit collection & distribution patterns and the problems, trying to put forward a series of corresponding measures to improve the waterwaywaterway transit mode for the collection and distribution system of Yangshan deep-water port.
