Kaohsiung è terzo nella graduatoria mondiale dei porti per il traffico container realizzato nel 1998, dopo Singapore e Hong Kong. Nel porto sono stati movimentati l'anno scorso 6,27 milioni di teu, mentre il traffico complessivo è stato di 328,2 milioni di tonnellate di merci trasportate da 34.956 navi.
Nel 1998 Kaohsiung ha risentito delle conseguenze dei pesanti conflitti sociali che sono intervenuti nel corso del 1997, quando il porto ha vissuto il primo anno di attività dopo la sua privatizzazione. Il cambiamento di amministrazione comportò ben 4.000 tra licenziamenti e prepensionamenti. Il numero complessivo dei lavoratori è calato di due terzi, nel contempo c'è stata una riduzione del 20 per cento dei costi portuali.
Il processo di privatizzazione riguarderà ora altri porti di Taiwan, tra cui Keelung, Taichung e Hualien.
