With the development of the economy of Changjiang region, the increasingly demand of the freight throughput, the influence of increasing ship size and movement of geology, the depth and width of Channel of Changjiang Estuary already cannot meet the economy development. Therefore how to build the Channel of Changjiang Estuary is not only a important task of transportation supervisor department and also has relation to the economy development of Shanghai and Jiangsu province. The harness of Channel of Changjiang Estuary has important effect on the builting of Shanghai International Shipping Center and the economy development of Changjiang Region. Therefore study on it has important realistic and strategic sense. This paper analyze on the hydrology and port layout, and bases on the forecast of the ship and freight volume, bring forward the construction programming, project disposal and implementing scheme of the future harness of Channel of Changjiang Estuary.
