臺灣港務股份有限公司

港口與港務公司
臺灣四面環海，擁有非常豐富的海洋資源，自古以來「水路」便是載運日常用品的運輸方式之一，各式各樣的貨物會通過「港口」進出口，而港口的管理者則是「港務公司」。

臺灣港務股份有限公司在2012年成立，前身是「港務局」，管理七大國際商港，包含基隆、臺中、高雄、花蓮、臺北、蘇澳及安平港。

港務公司努力讓港口裝卸設施更完善，讓大船進港更有效率，此外，也打造基隆及高雄港為「雙郵輪母港」並推廣郵輪旅遊模式，讓大家在旅遊時除了搭飛機以外有新的選擇喔!

綠色港口，永續發展
為了讓港口生生不息，在發展經濟的同時，維護港區環境也是相當重要的!我們獎勵大船進港減速，以減少污染，另外，也參加國際的「生態港認證」，建立環境自主管理制度，讓港口更加乾淨、美麗，目前七大國際商港都已經取得歐洲海港組織生態港認證了呢！

看到港口旁的大風車了嗎? 那是「陸域風機」，港口除了作為水上及陸上的運輸交會站，沿岸的海風也可以透過風機來發電喔! 港務公司近年除了陸上風機外，配合政府實施的綠色能源政策，開始發展站在海上的大風車--「離岸風電」來捕捉海上更強勁的風，善用大自然賜予的力量開發乾淨的能源。

Ports and TIPC
Taiwan, surrounded by ocean, is rich in marine resources. Since ancient times, sea route has long been an essential way of daily transportation. Various goods are carried in and out through the ports. Currently all international commercial ports in Taiwan are managed by Taiwan International Ports Corporation Ltd. (TIPC).

TIPC was established in 2012, formerly “Port Bureau” under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. TIPC manages seven international commercial ports including Port of Keelung, Port of Taichung, Port of Kaohsiung, Port of Hualien, Port of Taipei, Port of Suao, and Port of Anping.

TIPC dedicates itself to enhancing port efficiency through continuous advancement of port facilities. Besides, Port of Kaohsiung and Port of Keelung are chosen specifically as the two home ports for cruise liners. TIPC promotes cruise travel to provide everybody another choice of traveling other than airplane travel.

Green and Sustainable Port
To make our ports sustainable, it is very important to protect the environment while pursuing economic benefits. Therefore, we provide initiative for ship operators to slow down as they enter and leave the ports to further reduce pollution. In addition, we participate in the internationally-recognized “Eco Ports Certification” program to set up an environmental autonomous management system. For now, all of our 7 international commercial ports have been accredited as Eco Port.

Do you notice the big windmills standing nearby the port area? That is “Onshore wind turbines”. Ports are not only where land transportation and sea transportation converges but the sea wind around the harbor area can be utilized to generate electricity!

Besides onshore wind turbines, the offshore wind power presents itself as a new business opportunity for TIPC. Recently, to keep up with the green energy policy by our government, TIPC starts to develop the port facilities for offshore wind industry. Offshore wind farm where big wind turbines stand rolls after rolls at sea, can generate more power from the stronger sea wind, making the best use of the gift from nature - wind.
