This complex is designed to merge the export-processing zone and state-owned industries to make progress in the special transshipment center. The first stage calls for the existing export-processing zones and Chungtao Wharf to be developed into the offshore transshipment center and production distribution center. Because of the important container port function, the second stage calls for the construction of the Shipping Management Center along with the Information Harbor and educational training facilities. In the state-owned lands around Taiwan Sugar and Taiwan Fertilizer Corporations, the high-add value technology center in the export park will be built up. The Lingya Petroleum station of the Chinese Petroleum Corporation can integrate the present commercial center to develop the waterfront financial office district.

If this plan succeeds, it will allow Taiwan to link its shipping with all of the countries in Southeast Asia, including China. It is estimated to handle more than 500,000 re-export containers by 2010. This would mean the creation of 15,000 professional technical jobs, 70,000 related employment opportunities, six hundred and fifty billion dollars in income and an average yearly growth rate of seven percent in the export container business. By 2020, it is expected to handle one million export containers with an additional value of one trillion dollars.
