Forty thousand metric tons of cold storage capacity across two port-co-located hubs in Kaohsiung and Fuzhou — integrated with processing within the same operational envelope, WMS-tracked, and held to the standards the trade book requires. Cold storage is not a destination for our cargo. It is the operational discipline that decides whether cargo arrives intact.
Squid texture, saury oil retention, shrimp colour, octopus firmness — every specification a buyer pays for is a function of unbroken temperature control between catch and delivery. A four-hour gap at the wrong stage of dispatch can move a shipment from premium grade to feed grade. The most common origin of seafood trade disputes is not the original product but a cold storage failure somewhere downstream of it.
For trade counterparties, the question is not whether Baixian operates cold storage. It is how the cold storage is run, what happens during the handoffs, and whether the operational envelope ever opens. The rest of this page is that answer.
Frozen, semi-frozen, and chilled holding within each facility, with separate dispatch lanes per zone. Product specification matches optimal hold temperature without migration through inappropriate zones.
Intelligent operating system at the Fuzhou hub; standard WMS at Kaohsiung Xiaogang. Every pallet position tracked from intake to dispatch. Deployed at Fuzhou in 2017 and refined through eight years of operation.
Continuous temperature monitoring across both hubs. The Fuzhou bonded zone runs on a China Telecom Global Eye system with real-time data transmission to customs. Three-month data retention available on request.
Cold storage and processing share the same operational footprint at BXGC-FAC-1 in Fuzhou and adjacent footprint in Kaohsiung. Product moves between storage and processing line without leaving the cold envelope. Structurally unusual; designed-in, not retrofitted.
At Fuzhou, 5,000 MT of customs-bonded capacity sits inside the same operational shell as the 25,000 MT non-bonded zone. Cargo transits between bonded and non-bonded status with customs paperwork rather than physical relocation — a capability that extends to trade-book operations as needed.
Both hubs sit at major export ports. BXTW-FAC-2 at Port of Kaohsiung. BXGC-FAC-1 at Mawei within the Fuzhou port complex. Dispatch from storage to vessel measured in hours rather than days. Physical proximity, not regulatory convenience.
A concrete trace of one species, one trade, six stages — vessel hold at origin through to destination port, with cold storage as the operational spine that decides whether spec is preserved end-to-end.
Cargo from the contract fleet — Argentine and Taiwan-region distant-water vessels — enters cold storage at intake with temperature continuity preserved from the vessel hold. Sourcing and cold storage are operationally adjacent, not separately contracted.
How we source →Cold storage and processing share the same operational footprint at both hubs. Cold-side processing happens inside the cold envelope, not outside it. The integration is structural — designed-in rather than retrofitted.
How we process →Dispatch timing — vessel scheduling, reefer loading, handover documentation — is coordinated from the same operational footprint that holds the cargo. The cold storage operation ends at the destination port, not at our gate.
How we execute →Trade discussions begin with a specification — species, grade, volume, destination, timing — and a context. The trade team responds with availability, indicative pricing, and the cold storage and processing pathway that backs the offer. Initial response within 48 hours.
Trade enquiries are handled by the trade team, in coordination with operations on the ground at the relevant facility. Bonded storage enquiries route through a separate service inbox — see the bonded storage page.
