Taiwan International Ports Corporation, Taichung Port Branch

Taiwan International Ports Corporation, Taichung Port Branch (臺灣港務股份有限公司臺中港務分公司), often shortened to Taiwan Ports Corporation Taichung Branch (臺灣港務公司臺中分公司), is the state-owned unit responsible for the harbour and port business of Taichung Port in Taiwan. Its predecessor was the Taichung Harbour Bureau (交通部臺中港務局), a unit under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications of the Republic of China. Following the reorganisation of Taiwan's port administration, the former harbour bureaus were brought under Taiwan International Ports Corporation, and the Taichung operation became a branch of that company. The branch is not a standalone commercial brand but a regional operating division of a state-owned enterprise. It handles the day-to-day port functions at Taichung Port, including berthing, cargo handling, port facilities and related harbour services, and it represents the port in dealings with shipping lines, cargo owners and other port users. Its identity is closely tied to Taichung Port itself, one of Taiwan's major international commercial ports on the central western coast. As a branch of Taiwan International Ports Corporation, the Taichung Port Branch operates within a national port-group structure that also includes other major Taiwanese ports. Its official website is hosted at tchb.gov.tw, reflecting its origins as a government harbour bureau. The branch remains active and continues to manage Taichung Port's port operations under the parent company.

The Taichung Port Branch traces its institutional origin to the Taichung Harbour Bureau (交通部臺中港務局), a government unit under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications of the Republic of China that was responsible for Taichung Port. In the course of reforming Taiwan's port governance, the harbour bureau system was reorganised and the port operations were placed under Taiwan International Ports Corporation (臺灣港務股份有限公司). The Taichung operation then became the Taichung Port Branch of that company, continuing to handle the port business of Taichung Port as a state-owned branch. The branch's official website remains at tchb.gov.tw, a legacy of its harbour bureau past. It is described in Chinese-language reference sources as the state-owned unit dedicated to Taichung Port's harbour business, subordinate to Taiwan International Ports Corporation under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.
