The West Breakwater of Guang'ao Port Area, the largest public infrastructure project ever invested in Shantou Port, is about to be completed before this year's National Day. It shall work with the East Breakwater to form an encircling cover, providing an effective protective barrier for the production and construction of Guang'ao Port Area, and further laying the position of Guang'ao Port Area as the only core port area of the port group of eastern Guangdong.
  
Consisting of two sections of breakwater bodies, the West Breakwater and the Outside East Breakwater, the Guang'ao Port Area Breakwater Project is the longest and largest single-body deepwater breakwater in South China. At present, the first 100,000-ton berth in the second phase of Guang'ao Port Area has been put into trial operation, and the second 100,000-ton berth is going to be successfully completed and put into operation. The construction of the breakwater will effectively reduce the impact of wind and waves on the interior of the port area, provide a better marine construction environment for the third phase construction of Guang'ao Port Area, and also provide a more secure guarantee for the berthing operation of freight ships in Guang'ao Port Area.

汕头广澳港区西防波堤国庆前将全部建成

　　汕头港有史以来投资最大的港口公共基础设施工程——广澳港区西防波堤今年国庆前将全部建成，与东防波堤形成环抱掩护，为广澳港区生产建设提供有效防护屏障，进一步奠定广澳港区作为粤东港口群唯一核心港区的地位。

广澳港区防波堤工程由西防波堤和外东防波堤两段堤体组成，是目前华南地区单体最长最大的深水防波堤。目前，广澳港区二期首个十万吨级泊位已试运营，第二个十万吨级泊位即将顺利建成投产。防坡堤建成将有效减轻风浪对港区内部的影响，为广澳港区三期工程建设提供更好的海上施工环境，同时也为广澳港区货运船舶停泊作业提供更加安全的保障。
