台灣遊艇製造產業 2010年台灣 80呎長以上巨型遊艇外銷出口排名為世界第 7名，為亞洲第一大遊艇生產地。目前台灣地區遊艇製造業者共計 35家，其中 19家（60%）位於高雄地區，產值佔全國約 80%。 根據 E-Composites公司預測， 2005~2010年，世界休閒遊艇市場將保持年均 7%的增長率。為強化遊艇產業發展競爭力，行政院經建會於「愛台 12建設－高雄港市再造方案」，考量高雄雙港區位條件及既有遊艇製造優勢聚落，遊艇製造應用產業列為新興核心產業主軸。 2010年高雄市政府選定南星計畫區發展遊艇產業園區，以整合遊艇產業製造、五金零件及物流等上中下游產業，形成產業聚落，提高遊艇製造產業的競爭力，預期此園區將有利於業者朝更大型化及更高附加價值的豪華遊艇發展，打造本遊艇產業園區為「亞洲豪華遊艇製造中心」。 本計畫於南星計畫區南側規劃 113.10公頃遊艇產業園區，遊艇產業園區依機能態樣之不同，概分為遊艇製造區、下水測試區、關聯產業製造區、行政服務區、公園等五大機能分區，以健全園區規劃，引入遊艇產業上下游廠商，形塑遊艇產業聚落，厚植我國遊艇競爭力。 本計畫以高雄市政府為開發主體，依據「產業創新條例」委託公民營事業辦理南星計畫遊艇產業園區開發，可減少政府財務約 51.9億元開發成本支出，並無償獲取 25.01公頃公共設施用地，預計第一期用地於 102年 12月底完工，第二期用地於 104年 12月底完工。 未來本計畫開發效益，預計可引入新台幣 50億元投資金額，年產值達新台幣 100億元，以及創造 4,000人以上就業機會。

In 2010, Taiwan’s yacht manufacturing exports for mega yacht 80-foot and longer ranked 7th in the world, and is also the largest yacht producer in Asia. Currently, Taiwan has 35 yacht manufacturers, of which 19 companies (60%) are located in the Kaohsiung area, accounting for about 80% of the country’s yacht output value. According to E-Composites company’s forecast, the global yacht market will maintain an average annual growth rate of 7% from 2005 to 2010. To strengthen Taiwan’s yacht industry competitiveness, the Council for Economic Planning and Development considered the Kaohsiung’s development advantages for the yacht industry, and listed the yacht manufacturing industry as one of the new core industries in the “Love-Taiwan 12 Major Construction Projects: Program for Integration of Kaohsiung Port and City.” In 2010, Kaohsiung city selected the Nanxing Project as the site for yacht industry developments, integrating yacht manufacturing, hardware parts production, and logistics to form a streamlined industrial cluster and improve its competitive edge. The project will help the industry to move towards larger scale yachts and higher value-added luxury yachts, making this the "Asia’s Luxury Yacht Manufacturing Center." The project site is located on the south side of the Nansing Project area, with a total of 113.10 hectares planned as the yacht manufacturing zone. The site will consist of five different areas according to their different functions of yacht manufacturing, yacht testing, related industry, administrative services, and parks. Using a holistic planning approach and integrating the yacht manufacturing clusters, the project will help strengthen Taiwan’s yacht industry competiveness. The Kaohsiung City Government will head the development project and follow the "Statute For Industrial Innovation," commissioning public and private entities to run the Nansing Yacht industry development plan. This will save the government 5.19 billion NTD, and acquire 25.01 hectares of land for public facilities at no cost. The first phase of the project is expected to be completed by the end of December 2013, while the second phase is expected to be completed by the end of December 2015. The future development outcomes are expected to bring in 5 billion NTD of investment, produce output value up to 100 billion NTD, and create over 4,000 jobs.
