Fujian ports cargo volume expected to exceed 450 million tonnes in 2013
FUJIAN province plans to build 15 new berths in 2013, adding 20 million tonnes capacity to provincial ports to exceed 450 million tonnes, which will bring expected container throughput to 11.2 million TEU, reports Xinhua.
Fujian will focus on the construction of Xiamen southeast shipping centre and major port development in Haicang, Xiaocuo, Douwei, Dongwu and Jiangyin. It will speed up the construction of navigational channel projects of Sanduao, Pintan, Meizhou Bay, Quanzhou Bay, Xiamen Bay and Gulei.
In addition, Fujian will also facilitate the infrastructure construction of passenger/ro-ro terminal and improve the auxiliary facilities. It expects to establish a competitive shipping service system in the southeast coastal areas in the coming five years.
