The newly announced Fujian Province Coastal Port Layout Plan (2020-2035) explicitly stipulates that Xiamen Port shall highlight its direction towards internationalization and shoulder the responsibility of leading other ports in the province to fully participate in the regional port competition. In the future, Xiamen Port shall actively promote the integration and restructuring of port resources, promote the development of port-centered industries, actively expand the modern shipping service industry, and accelerate the construction of Xiamen International Shipping Center. By 2035, the throughput of the province's coastal ports is expected to reach 880 million tons with that of Xiamen Port over 300 million tons, and its container throughput will exceed 20 million TEU.
