After declines over a number of consecutive years, Taiwanese ports are again bullish about the future. The port of Kaohsiung expects it will break its container-throughput record in 2011, handling 10mn TEUs. BMI is slightly more bearish than this, yet we forecast growth throughout the sector. Headline Industry Data * 2011 Port of Kaohsiung tonnage throughput growth forecast 1.92%, and to average 2.99% per annum to 2015. * 2011 Port of Kaohsiung container throughput growth forecast 1.47%, and to average 4.67% per annum to 2015. * 2011 total trade real growth forecast at 8.45% and to average 5.89% over the medium term. Key Industry Trends Continuing Chinese Trade Gains Provide Upside To Taiwanese Ports: A shipment of containers filled with agricultural produce has been transported from the Taiwanese port of Taichung directly to the northeastern Chinese province of Liaoning. BMI notes trade between the two countries has risen sharply in the last few years after the restoration of flights, trade and post in 2008. Relaxation In Port Ownership Policy Highlights Growing Investment Ties: The Taiwanese government is set to permit Chinese investors to participate in build-operate- Recovery And Development On The Cards For Taiwanese Ports: Following growing links with China we expect Taiwanese ports will recover the trade they lost during the downturn during 2011, especially because of the effects of the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement between the two countries. Kaohsiung is expecting a further boon as it is likely to become a delivery port of the London Metal Exchange, which would add 600,000 tonnes to the port's annual transhipment volume. Cargonews Asia reported in November 2011 that Yang Ming Marine Transport leased a plot of land at Kaohsiung in anticipation of the increased business opportunities following this development. Key Risks To Outlook Taiwan's ports sector seems to be banking heavily on the new thaw in relations with China. Should relations sour again, the ports' various expansions could prove to have been unnecessary. BMI believes this is unlikely considering how beneficial the renewed links have been for both parties. Nevertheless, should China's growth slow, as BMI forecasts, Taiwan could find itself over-reliant on its neighbour.
