en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 23, 2026, the Information Office of Fujian Provincial People's Government held a press conference on accelerating the construction of world-class ports and promoting the integrated development of port, shipping, and trade. Three departments, including the Fujian Provincial Department of Transportation, jointly issued the "Several Measures to Accelerate the Construction of World-Class Ports and Promote the Integrated Development of Port, Shipping, and Trade" (hereinafter referred to as the "Several Measures"), comprising 17 tasks across five aspects, aimed at continuously improving port infrastructure, deepening port resource integration, and advancing the integrated development of port, shipping, and trade.

The "Several Measures" focus on five key actions: "strengthening port hardware," "improving operational efficiency," "linking service chains," "implementing policy support," and "optimizing the business environment." In terms of infrastructure, the measures adhere to a province-wide "unified approach," optimizing port functional layouts to form an overall development pattern of "two cores and two wings," with Xiamen Port and Fuzhou Port as the cores, and Quanzhou Port and Meizhou Bay Port as the wings, featuring a division of labor and collaboration. This supports Fuzhou Port in becoming a comprehensive international deep-water port primarily focused on bulk energy, raw materials, and container shipping. Regarding resource integration, to address homogeneous competition, the measures promote the optimization of internal management and business models among major port operators in the province, deepening the integration of resources in five areas: port shoreline, operations, markets, administration, and data, enabling differentiated development and functional complementarity among port areas. In terms of Minjiang River shipping development, the measures promote the construction and operation of inland river ports along the Minjiang River, the cultivation of shipping fleets, and the aggregation of data resources from ports, shipping companies, and cargo owners along the river.

The "Several Measures" propose that by the end of 2030, substantial breakthroughs will be achieved in the construction of world-class ports, with significant results in port resource integration, marked improvements in collection and distribution efficiency and port customs clearance facilitation, and the establishment of a modern southeastern coastal port cluster that connects both sides of the strait, links to the Yangtze River Delta and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, radiates to the central and western regions, and possesses comparative advantages.
