Singapore-based port operator PSA International has secured a strategic investment in Xiamen Container Terminal Group, marking a significant move to strengthen its presence in China’s Fujian province.
The Xiamen Container Terminal Group operates eight container terminals with a combined annual designed capacity of approximately 20 million TEUs, making it a key gateway along China’s southeast coast. The investment was secured through an official public bidding process.
As part of the transaction, PSA will also increase its stake in the Xiamen Port Intermodal Logistics Hub, aiming to further integrate port operations with inland logistics, supply chain networks, and intermodal connectivity across the region.
PSA said the move underscores its long-term commitment to China and reinforces its strategic positioning in Fujian, where it already maintains investments in both Xiamen and Fuzhou. The partnership aligns with the province’s broader maritime ambitions under the Fujian Silk Road Maritime Strategy, which seeks to enhance trade connectivity and logistics efficiency.
Fujian’s geographic advantage along China’s southeast coast positions it as a vital hub for growing trade flows, particularly with emerging markets across the Global South, while also serving as a gateway to China’s extensive import and distribution networks.
Ong Kim Pong, CEO of PSA International, said the investment will help build a more resilient and integrated supply chain ecosystem. He highlighted that, together with PSA’s existing operations in Fuzhou, Fujian is envisioned as a strategic global hub under the company’s “Node-to-Network” strategy—designed to deliver enhanced connectivity, operational resilience, and long-term value for global trade.
