About This Seaport
Anchoring the northern tip of Taiwan, Keelung — listed as Chi-Lung under code TWKEL — serves as the maritime gateway for metropolitan Taipei, only a short drive to the south, and moved roughly 1.65 million TEU in 2024. It ranks among Taiwan's leading container ports alongside general cargo, bulk and a fast-growing cruise business that logged 166 cruise calls and about 787,000 passengers in 2024. Seven container berths fitted with gantry cranes handle Post-Panamax vessels. Carriers such as Yang Ming and Evergreen run intra-Asian and transpacific services from the port, where general cargo accounts for the largest share of vessel traffic. Highway and rail links tie the quays directly into the industrial belt around Taipei, keeping hinterland distances short. The Taiwan International Ports Corporation operates the facility and is investing over NTD 6 billion in automation, including automated stacking cranes, AI-driven yard planning and OCR container recognition. Customs and import processing follow Taiwan Customs procedures. For deep-sea mainline volumes, shippers often turn to Kaohsiung or the nearby Port of Taipei.
