The '''Port of Yantai''' ({{lang-zh|s=烟台港}}) is a seaport on the [[Yellow Sea]] in the vicinity of [[Yantai]], [[Shandong]], [[People's Republic of China]].

== History ==
As of December 14, 2011 the port had handled 200 million tonnes of cargo, becoming the 10th port in [[China]] that has a throughput of more than 200 million tonnes. The port's volume is estimated to hit 300 million tonnes by 2015. During the period from 2001 to 2005, [[Yantai]] invested US$2 billion on port construction, building 40 new berths, raising the percentage of 10,000-tonne berths from 27% at the end of 2000.<ref>{{cite news |title= Yantai port throughput exceeds 200 million tonnes|newspaper= Marine News China|date= 15 January 2011|url= http://www.marine-news-china.com/china-news/china-ports/item/230-yantai-port-throughput-exceeds-200-million-tonnes.html|archive-url= https://archive.today/20130129145828/http://www.marine-news-china.com/china-news/china-ports/item/230-yantai-port-throughput-exceeds-200-million-tonnes.html|url-status= usurped|archive-date= January 29, 2013|accessdate= September 14, 2012}}</ref>

In 2011 the Port of Yantai, together with three other Chinese ports in East China's [[Shandong]] province, signed a strategic alliance with the largest port of the Republic of Korea (ROK). The alliance is jointly formed by Shandong's [[Qingdao Port]], Port of Yantai, [[Port of Rizhao]], [[Port of Weihai]] and the ROK's [[Port of Busan]], aiming to build a shipping and logistics center in Northeast Asia.<ref>{{cite news|title= Four Chinese ports ally with ROK's largest port|newspaper= Marine News China|date= 29 September 2011|url= http://www.marine-news-china.com/china-news/china-ports/item/418-four-chinese-ports-ally-with-roks-largest-port.html|accessdate= September 14, 2012|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130111024439/http://www.marine-news-china.com/china-news/china-ports/item/418-four-chinese-ports-ally-with-roks-largest-port.html|archive-date= 11 January 2013|url-status= usurped}}</ref>
