The Taiwan International Ports Corporation (TIPC; traditional Chinese: 臺灣港務公司; simplified Chinese: 台湾港务公司; pinyin: Táiwān Gǎngwù Gōngsī) is a state-owned shipping company in Taiwan that operates ports in Taiwan.

History

Under the Taiwan International Ports Corporation, Ltd. Establishment Act, the company was founded on March 1, 2012.[1]

According to the act, the Ministry of Transportation and Communications would merge the port operations of Keelung Harbor Bureau, Taichung Harbor Bureau, Kaohsiung Harbor Bureau and Hualien Harbor Bureau, to form the Taiwan International Ports Corporation.[2]

The remaining operations of the four Harbor Bureaus, mainly concerning maritime administration, would be integrated to form the new Maritime and Port Bureau.
