As the container with a banner of "the
ten millionth container at Xiamen port in 2017" was lifted, the Xiamen
port ranked among the most powerful ports in China with an annual
handling capacity of ten million containers, Xiamen Daily reported on
Dec 20.
The container business at Xiamen port
has been in existence from 1983 and the then small port has now grown
into one which is internationally known and bustling after 34 years'
development.
People from all walks of life in Xiamen
express their attitudes towards the development of Xiamen port from
different perspectives.
Wang Longchu, director of Xiamen
Municipal State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission,
said that Xiamen port was a special economic zone, a bonded logistics
park and a pilot free trade zone, and will become a free port. All of
these things offer preferential policies for more business.
Wang also added that the development of a
city is inseparable from the development of its port and Xiamen has
invited a group of leading enterprises in logistics to settle in the
city in recent years, laying a solid foundation for the development of
its port.
