Port of Taipei

The Port of Taipei or Taipei Harbor (Chinese: 臺北港; pinyin: Táiběi Gǎng) is a port in Bali District, New Taipei, Taiwan, and is the country's newest international port. Phase I of the project was initiated by Port of Tamsui in 1993 and completed in 1998. Government and private investors have cooperated on Phase II construction since July 1996. Phase II will utilize a water area of 2,833 hectares and a land area of 269 hectares, for a total of 3,102 hectares. The port was scheduled to be completed in 2011. Estimates anticipate annual volumes by that date of 4,000,000 TEU, superseding the current volume of the Keelung Port.[2]

History

A NT$1.35 billion (US$46.65 million) dredging project began in February 2011 to increase the depths of the port's fairway and turning basins to between 16 and 17.5 meters, to increase capacity and competitiveness.[3]

gollark: Also making it as convenient/friction-free as possible.
gollark: Probably both work to some extent for different people.
gollark: It's not really "motivated" as much as "don't hate it enough to go through the social awkwardness of going through the process of switching options", though.
gollark: I can't get motivated to exercise without being required to by school (since I picked "fitness" as one of my sports options), since it's one of those things I probably should do but don't like doing.
