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. In 2012, the Meizhouwan port was merged with the Quanwan and Putian ports. According to Wikipedia, it had a total cargo throughput of 114 million tonnes in 2012.

The first phase of 15 mtpa capacity was completed in 2015. Phase II was reported as under construction in 2016. 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.

In early 2021, the Fujian provincial government released the "Fujian Province Coastal Port Layout Plan (2020-2035)," which proposed building large-scale coal terminals in Fuzhou Port and Meizhou Bay Port. The Fujian provincial government wants to build four hundred million tons of large ports on the coast, and by 2035, they want the province's total coastal port throughput to reach 880 million tons. According to Putian Government, Phase II is designed for a 4.9 mtpa capacity. 3# Stockyard construction in Phase II has been permitted by Putian Department of Natural Resources in August, 2024.

There is a nearby coal plant, the Meizhouwan Power Station, which likely receives coal from this terminal and is also run by SDIC.
