About This Seaport
COSCO Shipping has run the container terminals in Quanzhou's Shihu area since 2006, making this Fujian port on the Taiwan Strait a solid regional gateway rather than a deep-sea mega-port. Known in Marco Polo's day as Zaiton, the historic starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, Quanzhou today handles around 839,000 TEU a year against a capacity of roughly 1.23 million TEU. Recent berth expansion at Shihu allows vessels of up to about 100,000 tonnes and aims to lift throughput toward 3 million TEU. Direct services focus on Belt and Road neighbours such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand and Japan, alongside dry-bulk and breakbulk handling. Hinterland distribution across Fujian runs by road and rail. For high-volume intercontinental Far East–Europe trades, the larger neighbouring ports of Xiamen and Fuzhou remain the stronger options.
