With a view to create a quality environment in which to serve passengers and clients, the Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau, Ministry of Transportation and Communications of Taiwan R.O.C. has formulated a plan for the “Port of Kaohsiung Passenger Transportation District” and the construction of the “Port and Cruise Service Center”. Passenger service facilities and the surrounding environment will be improved, visitors will be provided with more convenient and comfortable facilities, and the offices of various port administrative agencies will be integrated within one area to enhance service quality. Furthermore, the plan will help promote international exchange and boost international as well as domestic tourism. Total Construction Budget is about US$80,000,000.

The 6.13-hectare district site includes the area occupied by Piers 18-21 and their backyards in the Lingya commercial port district, POK. The Port and Cruise Service Center will be constructed first on the 2.46-hectare area at Piers 19 & 20 and their backyards to serve, upon completion, passenger vessels moored between Berths 18 to 21.
