About This Seaport
Seven container terminals, a network of bulk and petrochemical berths, and Taiwan's first driverless terminal make Kaohsiung the island's principal cargo gateway. The port handled roughly 8.83 million TEU in 2024 and holds annual capacity above 9.5 million TEU, placing it among the world's busiest box ports. Terminal 7, now fully operational, runs automated stacking cranes, unmanned vehicles and 5G control; a second phase targeted for 2026 will add about 1.2 million TEU of automated capacity. Beyond containers, quays handle steel, machinery, grain and petrochemicals, reflecting the surrounding industrial belt of southern Taiwan. A free trade zone permits duty-suspended storage, processing and re-export, useful for consignments consolidated for onward Asian markets. Sitting at the threshold of the South China Sea and North Pacific, the port anchors transhipment flows across East Asia. Road freeways and rail links reach inland industrial parks, while Keelung, Taipei Port and Taichung serve shippers in northern and central Taiwan.
