Taiwan Port Corporation Keelung Branch held the "Keelung Port 140th Anniversary Celebration" today (9th) at the waiting room on the east coast of Keelung Port. VIPs from the Ministry of Transportation, Keelung City Government, Keelung City Council and retired airport officials gathered together to witness the 140-year history of Keelung Port. Lin Guoxian, Executive Undersecretary of the Ministry of Transportation, expressed that he hopes that in the next stage of Keelung Port, he will promote the separation of government and enterprises and corporate operations, enhance the port's competitiveness, clarify the positioning of the east and west coasts of Keelung Port, establish a cruise development office, deepen the development of port tourism, introduce smart facilities, improve the efficiency of logistics customs clearance, and drive the development of the northern logistics industry.

Zhou Yonghui, chairman of the Taiwan Port Corporation, pointed out that the 140-year journey spanning three centuries since the establishment of Keelung Port in 1886 is the epitome of Taiwan's embrace of globalization. Zhou Yonghui said that with the policy guidance of the Ministry of Transport and the assistance of various ministries, the port company has listed the cruise industry as a key direction of transformation. It has promoted the establishment and operation of the Cruise Development Office on July 16, 2026 to meet more challenging transformation tasks. In the future, it will continue to develop policies and closely integrate the guidance and resource support of experts from industry, government, academia, and government ministries.

Keelung Port Branch emphasized that Keelung Port has been successful in promoting the "equal emphasis on passengers and cargo" strategy and diversified transformation in recent years. The overall operating performance in 2026 is outstanding, and the annual operating income is expected to exceed the NT$5.7 billion mark. In terms of freight performance, although Keelung Port has faced fluctuations in the global shipping market this year, the cumulative container volume through September has continued to grow against the trend. The number of cruise passengers in Keelung Port this year is expected to hit another historical peak, exceeding "one million passengers."

The Base Port Branch joined hands with the Creation Social Welfare Foundation to organize the "Gather 10 Good Deeds to Win the Heart of Hong Kong" public welfare event, inviting colleagues and partners in the airport industry to jointly raise resources. Lin Jianming, the chief secretary of the Base Port Branch, went to the Creation Foundation today to donate more than 15,000 yuan in charity to take concrete actions to care for vegetative families.
