On July 15, reporters learned from the Fujian Provincial Department of Transportation that from January to June this year, Fujian Province completed fixed asset investments in port and shipping infrastructure totaling 4.699 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.3%, exceeding the scheduled progress by 2.2 percentage points. The coastal ports handled a cargo throughput of 373 million tons, including 8.7491 million TEUs of containers, representing year-on-year growth of 1.5% and 0.1%, respectively.
Since the beginning of this year, Fujian has commenced 11 projects, including the Berth 18–19 project at the Bitou Operation Area of Jiangyin Port in Fuzhou Port, and completed four projects, such as the Taiyang Submarine Cable Terminal project at the Cheng’an Operation Area of Dongshan Port in Xiamen Port. Three projects were granted approval for deep-water shoreline by the Ministry of Transport. Additionally, three 500-ton berths at the Qingzhou Operation Area of Sanming Port passed final acceptance, and the temporary navigation plan for the Mingqu section of the Shaxikou Dam downstream channel was approved after review.
Data shows that in 2024, the added value of Fujian’s coastal port economy reached 756.8 billion yuan, contributing 15.3% to the GDP of coastal regions—the highest in the country. In the first half of this year, the province continued to strengthen support for port and shipping development, optimize services, and enhance government-enterprise collaboration, demonstrating strong resilience in the face of complex global conditions.
