在自身实力难以与周围的青岛、大连、烟台等大港竞争的情况下,蓬莱建起了两处国家一类开放口岸——蓬莱新港和栾家口港。面对广袤的太平洋,背靠发达开放的华东地区,伸手可及辽东半岛,以及水深港阔的自然条件,蓬莱的两处港口不刻意追求物流集散港口的地位,而是把主要精力放在建设临港加工制造业基地上。依托两处港口建起的蓬莱经济开发区和西城临港工业区立即受到了国内外亟待转移的制造业资本的青睐。规划开发的118平方公里临港工业区内,有国内投资9.4亿元的广源发石化、5亿元的热电厂,韩国投资2000万美元的现代永和重工,东南亚及台湾地区投资的亚洲最大的木材、水泥、陶瓷项目,美国巨涛海洋重工、捷福橡胶……投资1000万美元之上的项目100多个,总投资15亿美元。目前 Penglai has set up two first-class ports of entry in the country, Penglai New Port and Luanjiakou Port, in the face of competition from Qingdao, Dalian and Yantai in the vicinity. Faced with the vast Pacific Ocean, backed by the open and open East China, reach the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the natural conditions of deep water and harbor, the two ports of Penglai do not deliberately pursue the status of the logistics and distribution port, but instead focus their efforts on building Lingang processing and manufacturing base. The Penglai Economic Development Zone and the Xicheng Lingang Industrial Zone, built on two ports, are immediately favored by the manufacturing capital that needs to be relocated at home and abroad. Planning and development of 118 square kilometers Lingang Industrial Zone, with 940 million yuan of domestic investment Guangyuan Petrochemical, 500 million yuan of thermal power plants, South Korea invested 20 million US dollars of Hyundai Yonghe Heavy Industries, Southeast Asia and Taiwan’s largest wood investment in Asia , Cement, ceramic project, the United States Jiantao Marine Heavy Industries, McNair rubber ... ... invested 10 million US dollars more than 100 projects, with a total investment of 1.5 billion US dollars.
