Comprehensive Overview of the Port The Port of Xiamen (UN/LOCODE: CNXMN), located in Xiamen Bay on the southeast coast of Fujian Province, is an important international shipping hub and a national first-class port open to the outside world along the coast of China, as well as one of the core ports for the construction of the "the Belt and Road" and the development of the "Silk Road Maritime Transport". The port faces the Taiwan Strait, connecting the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, and the economic zone on the west coast of the strait, and plays an important role in regional foreign trade and international logistics systems. Xiamen Port implements a layout model of "one port, multiple zones, coordinated development", forming a pattern of joint development with Haicang Port Area and Dongdu Port Area as the core, and linking with other port areas such as Zhaoyin Port Area and Houshi Port Area. Among them, Haicang Port Area is the most important container operation base of the port, with modern deep-water berths that can meet the berthing needs of large international container ships; The key development areas of Dongdu Port include offshore shipping, cruise tourism, modern logistics, and comprehensive port and shipping services; Zhaoyin Port Area and Houshi Port Area undertake the functions of bulk cargo, energy, and port industrial logistics. Relying on excellent deep-water coastline conditions and complete port infrastructure, Xiamen Port has formed a comprehensive business system for coordinated development of container transportation, bulk cargo, energy and chemical industry, general cargo, and cruise passenger transportation. The port service covers Fujian Province and surrounding areas, and radiates inland provinces such as Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei. It is an important gateway for industries such as electronic information, machinery manufacturing, automotive parts, textile and clothing to go global. Airline routes and intermodal networks Xiamen Port has a comprehensive international shipping service network and multimodal transport system, and has opened international routes covering major trading regions around the world. International airline network: Relying on the construction of the "Silk Road Maritime Transport", Xiamen Port has opened container liner routes connecting Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, North America and other regions, forming an international logistics channel covering major ports around the world, providing efficient and stable transportation services for import and export enterprises. Cross Strait shipping and regional transit: As an important gateway for cross-strait exchanges, Xiamen Port has long operated freight and passenger routes to Taiwan, and actively promoted cooperation between Fujian and Taiwan ports. At the same time, relying on the advantageous location on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait, we will strengthen the coordination and linkage with major ports in South and East China, and enhance the regional container transit and logistics distribution capabilities. Sea rail intermodal transportation system: The port construction has a complete sea rail intermodal network, seamlessly connecting with the port area through railways, highways, and other means. Goods can be quickly transported to central and western regions such as Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Chongqing, and Sichuan, and further connected to the Central Asian and European markets through international logistics channels, effectively improving the level of international trade facilitation in inland areas. With superior location conditions, deep-water port resources, comprehensive modern terminal facilities, and continuously improving international shipping service capabilities, Xiamen Port has developed into an important international container hub port on the southeast coast of China and a core gateway to the economic zone on the west coast of the Taiwan Strait, playing an important role in the global supply chain and international logistics system.
