Background

The State Development and Investment Corporation (SDIC) is building a coal terminal at Meizhouwan port, with a planned ultimate capacity of 80 million tonnes per annum (mtpa). Phase I would be 15 mtpa, phase II 25 mtpa, and phase III 40 mtpa. Construction was reported to be "in full swing" in April 2012.[1]

The first phase of 15 mtpa capacity was completed in 2014. Phases II and III were reported as under construction in 2014. It is predicted the port would ship 2 million tonnes of coal to Taiwan by 2020, and supply coal to coastal provinces including Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangzhou.[2]
