Fuzhou Port is an international seaport on the coast of Fuzhou, Fujian province, in the People's Republic of China.
Location
The port is centered on the estuary of the Minjiang River on the coast of Fuzhou.
Background
The port serves China's Fujian Province as well as the city of Fuzhou.[1] Fujian is a coastal province in southern China that is a major consumer of imported coal for its power stations.[2] The port handles coal, as well as cement, lead, and sand.[3]
The nearby Ningde Port merged with Fuzhou in 2009, leading to a total cargo throughput of 127 million tonnes in 2013.[4] The port is linked to several Chinese railways and highways and is connected to 75 international maritime routes.[5]
Throughout 2019-2020, coal importing restrictions were tightened at the Fuzhou Port as import quotas were depleting, so that only coal end-users such as local steel mills or power plants were able to receive imported coal.[6][7][8]
In 2020, two new berths were constructed, adding 2.8 million tonnes to the overall capacity of the port.[9][10]
