Anping Port opens China express line

Manufacturers and producers based in southern Taiwan now have a faster option for exporting their products to China after the maritime express consignment zone at Tainan’s Anping Port (安平港) began operations on Tuesday. The nation’s first all-cargo shipping service to China, a direct shipping service from Anping to Quanzhou in China’s Fujian Province was also launched on Tuesday. Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan’s agricultural and industrial products can be exported through Anping Port, which has the only maritime express consignment zone in southern Taiwan, Taiwan International Port Corp’s (TIPC) Anping office manager Lee Yung-mao (李湧茂) said. Two operators had already begun offering express shipping service to China from Anping prior to the official launch of the maritime express consignment zone, Lee said. The Shang He Sheng cargo vessel delivers goods to Xiamen via Kinmen, and the Feng Ze Yuan provides shipping services from Anping to Quanzhou, Lee said. The former can carry 500 containers, while the latter is able to ship 672 containers, he added. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2016/04/28/2003645024
