一個貨櫃經過台灣，經過簡單加工後轉口，價值就躍升3倍，如果經過深層加工，價值就攀升為11倍。以航程來看，飛機平均2小時55分可飛抵西太平洋7大城市，船舶53小時可航達亞太5大港岸，台灣關鍵地理位置先天上即有利發展加值轉運。

When a shipping container passes through Taiwan, the simple processing of its contents before transshipment increases its value to the island three-fold; and, if the contents undergo deep processing, the value skyrockets 11-fold. Taiwan is perfectly positioned to develop this kind of value-added transshipment, since it is separated from seven major cities of the Western Pacific by an average flying time of just two hours and 55 minutes, and from five major Asia-Pacific harbors by an average sailing time of only 53 hours.
