The suppliers of TIPC can be generally categorized into 3 groups according to the types of contracts , service(contracting and services), property (raw materials and equipment), and engineering (construction and project). In 2023, there was a total of 780 suppliers, with a total purchase amount of NT$43,967,607,668, domestic purchase amount of NT$43,959,809,203, and domestic purchase ratio of about 99.98%; There were 3 foreign manufacturers, mainly from Korea, France and United Kingdom.

Since our commercial ports adopt the landlord port operation mode, the procurement projects mainly focus on port development and construction projects, and domestic manufacturers are given priority in supply. If foreign manufacturers take part in the procurement, they should follow the provisions of contracts or agreements agreed upon by our country, in order to support domestic industry and reduce carbon footprint of the projects, and to comply with government's policy of circular economy. Provided that the project design is feasible, TIPC will use recycled materials as much as possible. As for service and property procurement, we will refer to the scoring system of green procurement performance evaluation every year, and the percentage of green procurement was 99.84% in 2023.

Circular Economy

In line with the government's policy of promoting circular economy and zero waste, and under the coordination of Public Construction Commission of the Executive Yuan, Taipei Port Logistics and Warehouse Area accommodates the residual soil from public works in the northern region, as well as the soil generated from dredging of rivers, reservoirs, and coasts, and the maintenance of neighboring commercial and fishing port waters, for reclamation. The total amount of reclamation that can be accommodated is about 73.25 million cubic meters, with about 39.12 million cubic meters have been reclaimed by December 2023, and the reclamation is expected to be completed by 2037.
