From “0” to “1,” and from “1” to “N”: Fujian Port Science and Technology Group’s Year in Review

To thoroughly implement the important instructions of General Secretary Xi Jinping on “blazing new trails in fostering the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation with industrial innovation,” and to accelerate the establishment of an independent innovation system in the port sector while supporting the implementation of Fujian Province’s strategy to become a science-and‑technology powerhouse, Fujian Port Group has integrated multiple specialized enterprises across the entire system in the fields of technology and new energy, and officially established Fujian Port Science and Technology Group Co., Ltd.

Over the past year, the Technology Group has shouldered the mission of becoming the “source” for the digital transformation and upgrading of the Port Group, the “leader” in the development of strategic emerging industries, and a “new high ground” for attracting top-tier science and technology talent. With a primary focus on the digitalization, Intelligent transformation, and low-carbon, green upgrading of ports, it is committed to evolving into an internationally influential provider of digital, Intelligent, and green, low-carbon services for ports, logistics, and border crossings, continuously injecting new technological momentum into Fujian’s ports as they strive to become world-class, leading ports.

On the occasion of the group’s first anniversary,

Let us look back on our journey, take stock of our achievements, and look ahead to the future.

As time marches on, our steps resound with purpose. On June 16, 2025, Fujian Port Technology Group Co., Ltd. was officially inaugurated. As a wholly owned second-tier subsidiary of Fujian Provincial Port Group, the Technology Group is entrusted with implementing… The mission of the strategy to strengthen the province through technology and to promote the digital, Intelligent, and green upgrading of the port industry. , becoming the core science and technology innovation platform that empowers the transformation and development of ports across the province. Over the past year since its establishment, the technology group has firmly anchored itself to its development goals, steadily advancing from integrated planning to deep integration, thereby achieving a steady start and a development trajectory characterized by quality improvement.

Over the past year since its establishment, the technology group has remained anchored in its core port‑related business, breaking new ground through reform, empowering itself with innovation, and earning its reputation through pragmatic action. It has continuously refined its governance structure, strengthened its institutional framework, and unleashed the potential of its talent pool, thereby establishing a modern management model characterized by clear division of responsibilities and highly coordinated efficiency. Pioneering the implementation of a port‑area commissioner system, Integrate diverse resources—including technology, human capital, and products—to develop an end-to-end service solution that seamlessly breaks down silos; focusing on R&D breakthroughs, risk management, and operational support, among other areas. Establishing systems and regulations throughout the entire Procedure , systematically establishing a unified R&D platform and integrating the technology group’s computing resources, thereby comprehensively shortening the R&D cycle and reducing operating costs, thus laying a solid institutional foundation for the high-quality development of science and technology innovation. Deepen reforms of market-based mechanisms, Optimize the talent attraction, development, and performance evaluation and incentive system, attract high-caliber science and technology professionals, and continuously stimulate the innovation and creativity of all employees.

Focusing on technological innovation, digital and intelligent transformation, and green, low-carbon development.

Three major themes,

Over the past year, the technology group has deeply cultivated the port‑technology sector.

It has delivered an impressive performance.

In the fields of equipment automation and Intelligent technology

The core brand of the technology group, “HIRI FUTURE” Deeply cultivating AI applications in the port sector , building a panoramic Intelligent ecosystem for the port. Self-developed L4-level Intelligent handling equipment enables fully automated operations of large port machinery, with related technologies deployed both domestically and internationally. More than 80 Large ports, with equipment deployment exceeding 3,500 sets . The company has cumulatively won More than 70 items It has obtained invention patents and software copyrights, and has successively been recognized with numerous prestigious honors, including being named a top-performing unit in the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s AI Industry Innovation Challenge, a typical AI case in Fujian Province, first prize in the China Artificial Intelligence Competition, and the Science and Technology Progress Award from the China Intelligent Transportation Association. Its self-developed Intelligent gantry crane system was the first to pass testing and certification by the China Electronics Standardization Institute, a national authoritative body, as well as the CESI national domestic‑production information‑technology innovation certification issued by the Standards Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, earning widespread industry recognition for its technical prowess.

Currently, cutting-edge technologies such as port AI large models and intelligent agents have been successfully deployed at key Belt and Road projects, including the Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka, helping Chinese smart port technology expand overseas.

In the fields of port digitalization and logistics intelligence

As the core entity responsible for building and operating the province- and city-level digital platforms for port and logistics hubs, the technology group has established a one-stop cross-border trade service system. Several benchmark projects have been successively launched, including the Fujian Port Group’s smart logistics platform, the Gulei Multipurpose Quay’s integrated operations platform, and the Putian Digital Intelligence Integrated Platform. Leveraging capabilities such as indigenous innovation technologies, digital twins, and big data, these initiatives enable seamless data interconnection among ports, businesses, goods, and finance, thereby driving comprehensive improvements in operational efficiency and quality across port operations, multimodal shipping, and park management.

In the fields of digital governance and green, low-carbon development

The Port Group’s domestically developed OA system and procurement platform are being steadily built, leveraging digital tools to enhance the group’s overall management efficiency. Meanwhile, Hainate Electric, a subsidiary of the Technology Group, is expanding into green industries such as photovoltaics, energy storage, and charging stations. It currently operates 135 photovoltaic projects with a commissioned capacity of 66.67 MW, reducing annual carbon dioxide emissions by over 69,000 tons, and is fully committed to building a green, electric port to support the realization of the “dual carbon” goals.

After a year of dedicated effort, bountiful fruits have ripened; with our original aspirations firmly rooted, the future is full of promise. Looking back on our journey, every achievement has been made possible thanks to the sound leadership of the Port Group Party Committee, the steadfast support of our sister units, and, above all, the trust and companionship of our valued customers.

Standing at the new starting point of our first anniversary, the technology group will continue to uphold the principles of technological innovation, digital intelligence leadership, and green development. We will keep deepening our expertise in cutting-edge technologies such as port AI, digital twins, and large-scale models, make every effort to overcome challenges in critical core technologies, and expand our diversified business portfolio across intelligent equipment, smart logistics, and green ports. May we continue to stand side by side, using technology to connect ports and cooperation to shape the future, together writing a new chapter of high-quality development for Fujian’s port and shipping industry!
