Driving Global Growth and Strategic Expansion
For more than 150 years, China Merchants Port Holdings Co. Ltd. has shaped the evolution of the global shipping and logistics industry. In 2024, the Group navigated a volatile global economy with resilience and foresight, achieving historic operational and financial results. With container throughput reaching 145.75 million TEUs and revenue of HK$11.84 billion, CMPort reinforced its position as the world’s leading port operator.
A key highlight of the year was the Group’s entry into Indonesia through the acquisition of a 51 percent stake in NPH, marking a pivotal milestone in its Southeast Asian expansion. This investment grants CMPort access to Jakarta Port, the largest container terminal in Indonesia extending its influence along key maritime trade routes connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe. Simultaneously, CMPort’s overseas terminals in Sri Lanka, Brazil, and Togo recorded record-breaking volumes, underscoring the Group’s ability to deliver consistent results across diverse geographies.
Domestically, the West Shenzhen Port Zone achieved all-time high container volumes, strengthening its status as the heart of China’s maritime network. This achievement reflects CMPort’s balanced growth strategy, combining robust domestic operations with a globally integrated supply chain ecosystem.
Smart Ports and Green Transformation
CMPort’s vision for the future is defined by digital intelligence and sustainable transformation. The company’s flagship Mawan Smart Port embodies this ambition integrating Internet of Things technology, AI-assisted operations, and remote-controlled machinery to enhance productivity and reduce emissions. The port has achieved full electrification of its 36 rubber-tired gantry cranes, significantly cutting fuel consumption and operational costs.
CMPort’s CMCore Terminal Operating System (CTOS) has been successfully licensed in Europe, marking a major step in exporting China’s digital port management technologies internationally. By 2024, CMPort’s AI-driven system “AI+” had been deployed to optimize maintenance and operations, making data-driven decisions that enhance safety and efficiency.
In parallel, CMPort has embraced the “Dual Carbon” strategy, aligning with China’s goal of achieving Carbon Peak by 2028 and Carbon Neutrality by 2060. From electrification projects in Sri Lanka and power swap stations in Shenzhen to low-carbon logistics systems across its terminals, CMPort is redefining what it means to be a climate-conscious port leader.

Empowering Communities and Building Sustainable Value
Beyond its operational achievements, CMPort’s influence extends to the communities it serves. Through its “Global Philanthropic Mission”, the Group continues to invest in education, healthcare, and infrastructure across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Its “Silk Road Hope Village” initiative in Sri Lanka has provided vocational training and self-sufficiency programs for local families, while its volunteer programs have mobilized thousands of employees to contribute to community development projects worldwide.
Internally, CMPort’s “1234 Human Resources Strategy” is shaping a future-ready workforce. By promoting diversity, equality, and professional growth, the company ensures that every employee is equipped to thrive in a digitally transforming industry. These reforms, combined with a decentralized ESG governance structure, have enhanced transparency, innovation, and leadership accountability across all subsidiaries.
As the Group enters the first year of its 15th Five-Year Plan, its focus remains clear: to strengthen its global presence, accelerate smart and green transformation, and cultivate a world-class workforce driving sustainable value creation. From port terminals to global communities, CMPort’s journey reflects a legacy of progress proving that with vision, integrity, and innovation, industry leadership can move the world forward.
