湄洲灣(Meizhou Bay)是福建省十大新增長區(qū)域之一，連通向莆鐵路(Xiangtang-Putian Railway)——福建省連接中部和內(nèi)陸腹地運量最大、標(biāo)準(zhǔn)最高、最便捷的國家一級快速鐵路干線。如果把湄洲灣比作汽車，那么向莆鐵路就是引擎，能提供最直接的動力。一條鐵路可以激活一個港灣。湄洲灣位于福建省中部，這里水深岸闊，可建萬噸級以上泊位(berth)150多個，是中國少有、世界不多的多泊位深水良港，被列為國家重點發(fā)展的四大深水中轉(zhuǎn)港之一。

　　Meizhou Bay is one of the ten economic emerging regions in Fujian Province. It connects with Xiangtang-Putian Railway, which is a national level trunk railway that connects the central region and hinterland in Fujian Province with the greatest volume, highest standard and best convenience. If we compare Meizhou Bay to a car, Xiangtang-Putian Railway is the engine, offering the most direct power to it. A railway can always inject vitality into a harbor. Meizhou Bay is located in the center of Fujian Province. The harbor is deep and its shore is broad, and more than 150 10-thousand-ton level berths can be built here, which is a deepwater harbor with many berths that is rare in China and even in the world. It is listed as one of the four deepwater transshipment ports that the state gives priority to.
