Fuzhou Port in China's Fujian Province took first place in a global container-port performance assessment. Ranking at the very top on a gauge of handling efficiency, Fuzhou Port draws attention as an example of the efficiency of China's coastal logistics network.
According to local reports, Fuzhou Port recorded the highest ranking in a global container-port performance assessment. The index ranks ports by combining operational efficiency such as the time taken for ships to wait, berth and unload.

Fujian, geographically facing Taiwan across the strait and with a long history of maritime trade, has deep ties with overseas Chinese. Improved efficiency at the region's ports reads as a positive signal for coastal trade and the regional economy.
That said, port-efficiency indices can rank differently depending on the assessing body and criteria, so it is hard to declare absolute superiority from a single assessment. Even so, a top-tier result carries meaning as an indicator of efforts to improve port operations.
