With a total investment of $107 million, the Xiamen Yuanhai terminal is sits at the No. 3 berth at Haicang Port, located in Xiamen city in the Fujian province.

The container terminal was co-founded by the Xiamen government, the China Ocean Shipping Group Company, and the China Communications Construction Company Limited.

The terminal's workflow is controlled by an intelligent system, giving it a greater degree of efficiency. It is expected to have an annual throughput of 780,000 - 910,000 TEUs, an increase of 20 - 40 percent more than rival ports.
