The Outlook of Deep-water Container Terminal at the Port of Kaohsiung

The Port of Kaohsiung has been encountered impacts from the internal and external environment. The impact has been substantially reflected in the recent declining of the transshipment routes and container volume and even endangers its status as a regional hub port. This paper demonstrates the development of the deep-water Container Terminal at the Port of Kaohsiung. Upon the terminal’s completion, it is not only expected to allow the Port of Kaohsiung to be capable to accommodate mega containerships, but also reintegrate the new and old terminals and readjust the capacity distribution and terminal function. The reallocation of the terminal capacity and function readjustment of the port area would also make the transformation of the old port area to a waterfront recreation wonderland. In order to sustain its competitive advantages and status as a regional hub port, this study suggests that the Port of Kaohsiung should intensify its container transshipment function and quality service for carriers.
