Jintang Island coastal waters produce a large number of marine products, such as squid, cuttlefish, fish, and more.

The 7-billion-yuan project consists of an 18.5-kilometre (11.5-mile) sea bridge and joint sections totaling 8.5 kilometres (5.3 miles).

[4] On 27 March 2008, there has been an accident involving a Taizhou freighter that hit the bridge construction site.

Two pieces of reinforced concrete from the bridge weighing 3000 tons each got stuck in the cockpit of the freighter, which was moving at a fast pace.

[6][7] Ningbo Ports Group is also planning to build a proposed 12 container berths worth 10 billion yuan (US$1.25billion) in future at Jintang Island in anticipation of fierce competition from Shanghai's Yangshan Deep-Water Port.
