湄洲湾(Meizhou Bay)是福建省十大新增长区域之一，连通向莆铁路(Xiangtang-Putian Railway)——福建省连接中部和内陆腹地运量最大、标准最高、最便捷的国家一级快速铁路干线。如果把湄洲湾比作汽车，那么向莆铁路就是引擎，能提供最直接的动力。一条铁路可以激活一个港湾。湄洲湾位于福建省中部，这里水深岸阔，可建万吨级以上泊位(berth)150多个，是中国少有、世界不多的多泊位深水良港，被列为国家重点发展的四大深水中转港之一。

　　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.
