Kaohsiung Port Pier 121 Development Bid Completed, International Logistics Warehouses Planned

Taiwan International Ports Corporation has revitalized Pier No. 121 at Kaohsiung Port, transforming it into a multi-purpose terminal to bolster the port's international competitiveness. The 8.3-hectare site, one of Kaohsiung Port's few large development areas, will feature phased construction of international logistics warehouses.

The pier boasts a depth of 13.5 meters, allowing it to accommodate large vessels. While maintaining approximately 1.5 hectares for public loading, unloading operations, and vehicle access, the remaining area has been opened for investment. Gaogang Loading and Unloading Company emerged as the preferred investor after a bidding process initiated on May 6, signing an agreement on June 24 to develop the warehousing and logistics facilities.

Gaogang Loading and Unloading Company, established in 2005, holds an operating permit for the free trade port zone. The company specializes in storing and transferring non-ferrous metals, pulp, and steel coils, with an established warehousing network across Kaohsiung Port, including the central island, Nanxing free trade port zone, and the fourth container center. They also have extensive experience in vessel loading/unloading and logistics services.

This development is expected to enhance Kaohsiung Port's capabilities as a key logistics hub, leveraging its strategic location and infrastructure to attract further investment and streamline cargo handling operations.
