Hualien's economy of marble quarries and cement works sets the profile of its port (TW HUN, formerly Karenko): a bulk and breakbulk operation on Taiwan's east coast rather than a container gateway. Exports centre on marble, cement, aggregates, gravel, sand and stone from the nearby quarries, while imports include gypsum, coal and logs. The Taiwan International Ports authority lists 25 deep-water wharves and an annual handling capacity of more than 34 million tonnes; channel depths to 17 m accommodate larger bulk carriers, and cement silos serve both the inner and outer harbour. Facing the Taiwan Strait and the North Pacific, it mainly serves coastal and regional traffic; the steep mountainous hinterland limits onward road and rail links. Shippers needing containers or international liner services are better routed through Kaohsiung, Keelung or Taichung.
