In 2025, Fuzhou Port reached a significant milestone by surpassing the 100 million-ton mark in foreign trade cargo throughput for the first time, reflecting an 8.8 percent year-on-year increase.

Fuzhou Port achieved a cargo throughput of 345 million metric tons in 2025, marking a 3.1 percent year-on-year increase. Container throughput also grew, reaching 3.845 million TEUs, up 0.9 percent.

In 2025, Fuzhou Port has invested 4.5 billion yuan ($645.19 million) in infrastructure, accounting for 47.4 percent of the total investment in coastal ports across the province. The expansion of the 200,000-ton container terminal at Jiangyin Port has been completed, forming a major container terminal cluster with an annual capacity exceeding 3 million TEUs.

Fuzhou Port has significantly enhanced its global shipping network. In 2025, it launched the world's first China-Europe Arctic container shipping route and introduced the province's first South Pacific island route, alongside several roll-on/roll-off direct routes, establishing a comprehensive global maritime network.

The port has also greatly improved its operational efficiency with the launch of Fujian's first joint dispatch center for sea-rail intermodal transport at Jiangyin Port. This center enables two-way direct clearance between the port and railway station, increasing container transfer efficiency by 50 percent and reducing handling costs by 30 yuan per container, thus strengthening the competitiveness of its sea-rail services.

The port's cargo throughput growth is supported by a robust industrial base, with major companies like Wanhua Chemical Group and CATL establishing operations nearby. The mature "front port, back industry park" model ensures seamless integration between port logistics and industrial development.
