Welcome to the Port of Hong Kong Handbook and Directory for
1998 and 1999.
The continuing expansion of the Port of Hong Kong, already the
world's largest container port, secures its place in the next millennium
as one of the world's truly great ports.
Of course, shipping and maritime activities are at the heart of Hong
Kong's success, which is why the government's Marine Department is
at the forefront of the efficient running of the port - unlike most ports
throughout the world, Hong Kong does not have a port authority,
therefore keeping bureaucratic involvement to a minimum.
So what does the future hold for the Port of Hong Kong The
expansion of port facilities is essential and plans include the
construction of Container Terminal 9 which began in 1998, along
with Lantau port development projects. Expansion is necessary to
keep up with the ever-growing demand on the port so, with this in
mind, the new River Trades Terminal and Mid-Stream Terminal, both
privately owned, are expected to be completed by the end of 1998.
These future expansion projects ensure that the Port of Hong Kong
keeps one step ahead of the rest of the world's container ports which
continually strive to emulate its success. After all, how many other
ports can boast more than 230,000 dockings in one year alone
The jewel in the crown of Hong Kong Port is Kwai Chung container
port which, over recent years, has seen a magnificent growth rate
which is set to continue well into the next millenium.
As Hong Kong continues to grow so, too, does the port which is set
to reach 24 million TEUs by the year 2006.
It is with all this in mind that the Port of Hong Kong is set to
become the most successful port of the 21 st century, continuing its
important role in the ever-growing metropolis of Hong Kong.
foreword

Planned expansion heralds new dawn for
Asia's premier marine gateway
Close proximity to mainland China,
one of the world's largest markets,
has encouraged the development of
Hong Kong into a leading
international port, and continued
prosperity looks assured as major
expansion plans get underway.
SHIPPING and maritime activities
beat at the heart of Hong Kong,
accounting for more than 20 percent
of the Special Administrative Region's
gross domestic product (GDP).
The not-so-secret reason for the
success of the Port of Hong Kong is
its natural deepwater harbour, which,
when combined with its geographic
proximity to the People's Republic of
China, has allowed Hong Kong to
blossom into a major international
trade centre and gateway to Asia.
Hong Kong has held the
momentous title of 'world's
largest container port' for the last
six years, with 14.5 million TEUs
being handled at the port in the
calendar year 1997.
This single achievement, however,
should not overshadow the fact that
it is also one of the world's leading
maritime centres.
Practically any service that the
international maritime community
could possibly require can be
found in the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (HKSAR),
including: ship management, ship
repair, finance, legal services,
and much more.
The reunification of Hong Kong
with China from 1 July 1997 will see
Hong Kong continuing to grow as the
major port servicing the needs of
Southern China's burgeoning
Guangdong Province — cargoes to
and from which accounted for 69
percent of Hong Kong's total
container traffic in 1996.
Backing up Hong Kong's bright
future, the latest official outlook for
the port indicates that container traffic
will grow at an average rate of six
percent a year over the next decade,
to reach 24 million TEUs in 2006.
Beyond this period, the estimates
are for container volumes to grow at

facilities to prepare for the next millennium.
an average of 3.1 percent a
year between 2007 and 2016,
to 33 million TEUs.
Hong Kong continues to be a
beacon of efficiency, setting
standards which the rest of
the world's container ports
strive to emulate.
The key to such efficiency is the
laissez-faire approach adopted for
the port's operation.
In line with this philosophy, all of
the for-profit facilities in the port,
such as the impressive Kwai Chung
container terminals, are privately
owned and operated.
To keep bureaucratic involvement
in the operation of the port to a
minimum, Hong Kong, unlike
most ports in the world, does not
have a port authority.
The enormous task of ensuring the
efficient and safe running of the Port
of Hong Kong is the responsibility of
the Government's Marine
Department, which provides a
broad range of services, including:
vessel traffic regulation, maritime
search and rescue, Port State
Control inspection, and the
provision of facilities such as
mooring buoys and public
cargo working areas.
Expansion of the port facilities to
keep pace with ever-growing
demand continues in Hong Kong,
with construction of the privatelyowned
River Trade Terminal at Tuen
Mun and the new Mid-Stream
Terminal at Stonecutters Island, both
of which are expected to be
operating by the end of 1998.
Construction of the new
Container Terminal 9, to be
located on reclaimed land at a site
opposite the eight existing Kwai
Chung terminals, began in 1998.
Once construction is completed,
CT9 will provide an additional 2.6
million TEUs of handling capacity
at the port each year.
In the longer term, plans are
also in place for both Container
Terminal 10 and 11 projects at a
new greenfields site to be
constructed on reclaimed land on
Lantau Island.
Complementing Hong Kong's
world class port infrastructure is
the new Hong Kong International
Airport at Lantau Island's Chek Lap
Kok. The HK$155 billion state-of-theart
facility, opening for business on 6
July 1998, is one of the world's finest
airports, incorporating the world's
largest airfreight facility,
SuperTerminal 1.
It is with all of the above in place
that the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region of the People's
Republic of China prepares to enter
the new millennium absolutely
confident in retaining
its status as of one of the world's truly
great ports.

future development
/ Kwai Chung Cot
j improved with go\
Development continues in style as port
prepares for the new millennium
As levels of growth at Hong Kong
Port continue to rise, the need for
expansion becomes increasingly
important, leading to the
construction of essential new
facilities which will help to
contribute to continued success.
HONG Kong's private-sector led
approach to port development is a
fundamental factor contributing to
the growth of the SAR as an
international centre for trade.
Such a laissez-faire development
model enables private operators to
provide the most efficient and
modern facilities while, at the same
time, keeping bureaucracy and redtape
to a minimum.
All of the Kwai Chung
container facilities are privately
owned and developed, with the
government contributing supporting
infrastructure such as roads and the
dredging of channels.
The Hong Kong SAR Government
also plays an important; role in the
co-ordination of the port
development process. Central to the
Government's work is the forecasting
of Hong Kong's future growth in
terms of container traffic, and from
which sectors this growth is
expected to come.
The latest 'Hong Kong Port Cargo
Forecasts', released in February 1998,
estimate the port's container traffic to
grow at an average rate of 5.8 percent
a year over the next decade to reach
24 million TEUs in 2006.
Beyond this period, the estimates
are for container traffic to grow at an
average of 3.1 percent a year

future development
Container traffic at Hong Kong Port is expected to grow by six percent
a year over the next decade, underlining the need for expansion.
between 2007 and 2016, to 33
million TEUs.
Port Development Plans
Container Terminal 9
AS Hong Kong prepares itself
for the coming millennium,
construction of a ninth container
terminal, commonly referred to as
CT9, commenced in the first half of
1998 at a site opposite the eight
existing terminals at Kwai Chung.
Once completed, the new Tsing Yi
Island facility will occupy an area of
70 hectares of reclaimed land and
will consist of four deep sea berths
and two feeder berths.
The new terminal, to be operated
by existing Kwai Chung operators
Hutchison International Terminals
(HIT) and Modern Terminals Ltd
(MTL), will provide an additional
2.6 million TEUs handling capacity.
CT9 is due to begin operation
towards the end of 2001.
Lantau Port
THE completion of CT9 will realise
the full development of the Kwai
Chung Port region, forcing the need
to develop any future container
terminals elsewhere in Hong Kong.
Lantau Island has been
designated as the site for any future
expansion. Current plans allow for
four or more terminals on a series
of artificial islands stretching southeast
from north Lantau, in what will
be one of the world's biggest civil
engineering projects.
The timing for building of the new
terminals on Lantau is yet to be
determined, although detailed
planning for Container Terminals 10
and 11 has already been completed,
ensuring minimum delay in their
construction as port demand
requires.
Port and Maritime Board
The central functions of the new Hong Kong Port
and Maritime Board, established on 1 June 1998
will be to promote Hong Kong as an international
shipping centre, support economic development
and create new job opportunities.
Previously known as the Port Development
Board, the re-organised and re-structured Port and
Maritime Board will bring together the
Government and the maritime sector,
strengthening the links between both these
organisations. The Chairman will be Peter
Thompson, an experienced maritime lawyer, and
among the 21 members are people well known in
the Hong Kong port and shipping community. The
Board will provide an important venue for the
shipping industry to channel their views to the
Government.
To discharge its functions effectively, two
committees will be set up under the Port and
development and chaired by Gerry Forsgate; and
the Shipping Committee chaired by Frank Tsao. The
Shipping Committee will focus on improving the
competitiveness of Hong Kong's shipping industry
by lowering costs, and promoting Hong Kong as an
international shipping centre.
The establishment of the Port and Maritime
Board underlines the Government's commitment to
support the Hong Kong shipping industry. The
Board seeks to strengthen Hong Kong's status as a
global shipping centre using promotional
campaigns in mainland China and overseas to
attract more shipping companies, and encourage
international maritime organisations to set up Asian
Headquarters in Hong Kong. Both these initiatives,
and many more will help to contribute to the
future success of Hong Kong's shipping industry.

future development
Due to the lack of existing space the Airport Railway's Hong Kong
Station was built on reclaimed land, highlighting its importance to the
area's development plans.
River Trade Terminal
RIVER trade vessels using the
numerous waterways in the Pearl
River Delta to transport cargoes to
and from Guangdong provide an
economic and environmentallyfriendly
alternative to the
increasingly congested road system.
To service the needs of this
burgeoning trade, which accounted
for 1.9 million TEUs in 1997,
Hong Kong is building the first
dedicated River Trade Terminal
(RTT) atTuen Mun.
Constructed by the private sector,
the first phase of the RTT is
scheduled to come into operation in
1998, with the facility to be used to
consolidate cargoes brought down
by small river trade vessels before
feeding them, in larger dedicated
vessels, to the container terminals
and mid-stream operators.
There are also plans for another
RTT to be built just to the north of
the proposed Lantau Port.
Mid-Stream Sites
AROUND 3.1 million TEUs, or
more than one fifth of Hong
Kong's annual throughput in
1997, was handled at mid-stream
operations, which involves the
loading and unloading of cargoes
from ships moored at buoys or
anchorages in the harbour.
Providing a lower cost service
than the shore-based terminals, the
mid-stream operators transport cargo
from ship to shore by lighters
equipped with their own derricks.
In order to provide improved
facilities to the mid-stream
operators, the government will
let out two permanent mid-stream
sites on Stonecutters Island in
1998, comprising 6.7 hectares
with some 460 metres of quay
length. It is also looking at the
feasibility of providing additional
mid-stream sites in north Lantau
and Junk Bay.
reclamation proposals and projects which do/will
allow for a continued increase in the land available
for the use of the SAR public and tourists.
The more notable of these projects include the
Central and Wan Chai, West Kowloon, Kowloon
Point and Green Island reclamations. The Central
and Wan Chai Reclamation extends along the
waterfront from Sheung Wan to Causeway Bay. The
first phase of the Central Reclamation, involving
some 20 hectares at the Central waterfront, has
been completed.
The new land allows for expansion of the Central
Business District and construction of the Airpon
Railway's Hong Kong Station which became
operational in mid-1998. Reclamation work at West
Kowloon has allowed for the formation of some 328
hectares of land, including reclamation at
Stonecutters Island.
The broad objectives of the project are to provide
land for major transport links to the new airport at
Chek Lap Kok, including the Western Harbour
Crossing, West Kowloon Expressway and the
Airport Railway.
The reclamation also provides space to ease
pressure on adjacent congested residential and
industrial areas.

Resurgence of vibrant Hong Kong as a
booming commercial centre
The uncertainty associated with the
reunification of Hong Kong with
China has passed, and now the region
is entering a new era of success as
industry thrives and development of
infrastruture becomes even
more important.
Economic Impact
THE Port of Hong Kong, the world's
busiest container gateway, is a vital
economic generator for the newly
established Special Administration
Region (SAR) of the People's
Republic of China.
More than 465,000 tonnes of cargo
and 40,000 TEUs are handled across
its quays daily as the port
accommodates a vast array of
consignments ranging from food and
consumer goods shops to hi-tech
machinery and industrial equipment,
destined either for Hong Kong's
shops/markets or for re-export into
international market places.
Indeed, the port is instrumental in
ensuring that Hong Kong, now firmly
established as an independent entity
under the Chinese flag, remains an
economic phenomenon which
continues to set the standards that the
rest of Asia can only follow.
The remarkable entrepreneurial
spirit of its population, developed
over 150 years of free trade, has led
to Hong Kong becoming the world's
seventh largest trading entity despite
covering an area of just 1,000 sq km.
An incredible five million people in
mainland China owe their jobs to
Hong Kong companies setting up
65,000 production facilities primarily
in neighbouring Guangdong
province, manufacturing everything
from toys, garments and furniture to
electronic goods.
Some 90 percent of Hong Kong's
manufactured goods — principally
made up of clothing and fashion
accessories, textiles, children's
games, watches, clocks,
telecommunication equipment and

footwear — are exported to markets
across the world.
In total, Hong Kong's merchandise
trade with the rest of the world
increased by five percent in 1997 to
more than HK $3,000 billion.
Domestic exports amounted to HK
$192,692 million and re-exports to
HK $1,138,849 million, while Hong
Kong imported HK $1,477,338
million worth of goods.
Main imports into Hong Kong in
terms of value include electrical
machinery, telecommunications,
audio and video equipment,
textiles, clothing, food, office
equipment and computers.
Mainland China continues to be
Hong Kong's leading trade partner,
accounting for 36 percent of total
revenues earned from the import
and export of cargo. Other major
trading partners include the US (14
percent), Japan (10 percent) and
Taiwan (5 percent).
More than half of all exports
out of Hong Kong and 40 percent
of imports are made by vessels
calling at the Port of Hong Kong.
Hong Kong's status as one of
Asia's leading commercial centres
was enhanced by a 1997 stock
market turnover of HK $3,789
billion, although economic
decline in Asia led to the Hang
Seng Index ending the year at
10,722 points — a drop of 6,000
on its August peak.
Hong Kong is also the world's
ninth largest exporter of
commercial services as it
provides key business, financial,
technical, communications,
market research, advertising, design
and exhibition services to clients
across the globe.
A major financial centre, 81 of the
world's top 100 banks in terms of
total assets have established
branches or offices in Hong Kong.
In addition, Hong Kong — which
boasts Asia's highest per capita
income — is Asia's largest gold
bullion market and second largest
venture capital centre.
The strength and diversity of its
economy certainly leaves Dr Victor
Fung, Chairman of the Hong Kong
Trade Development Council
(HKTDC), in no doubt that Hong
Kong will continue to flourish while
other Asian countries suffer
economic recession.
"The Asian economic crisis has
given Hong Kong a special
opportunity to assert and explain the
unique role it plays in the Asia-
Pacific region," said Dr Fung. 'The
basis on which Hong Kong
competes has never been stronger
despite competitive devaluations
around the region.
"Hong Kong is a premium product
offering unique strengths to the
region in services, manufacturing
and our relationship with China,
strengths that, quite frankly, help
other countries compete."
Perhaps the best testimony of all
to dynamic Hong Kong is the fact
that 40 percent of all its companies
now boast overseas operations in
two or more countries.
Hong Kong Trade
Development Council
HONG Kong's booming economy
can only reap the benefits of its new
status as a Special
Administrative Region
(SAR) of the People's
Republic of China,
according to the Hong
Kong Trade Development
Council (HKTDC).
The organisation is
confident that closer
ties with mainland
China, its main trading
partner for over a
decade, have created
an even more solid
economic platform from
which Hong Kong
companies can survive
and flourish.
And it claims that
more countries are now
19

more confident to invest in Hong
Kong than ever before as years of
uncertainty about its economic,
commercial and political future after
1997 are finally at an end.
Assistant Chief Economist, Pansy
Yau, said: 'The smooth transition of
Hong Kong from British control to
China has finally ended years of
uncertainty about the future and
restored confidence in Hong Kong
to such an extent that more US and
British companies are ready to
invest in Hong Kong today than
before the handover.
"Hong Kong still has the same free
economy, low tax system, free port
and currency that it always has and
will continue to have for at least
another 50 years. Similarly, the
brain drain of professionals leaving
Hong Kong has reversed and, in
fact, there are more professionals
here now than ever before. Hong
Kong has long been mainland
China's window to the world and
will continue to be so for the
foreseeable future/'
Mainland China's economic
importance to Hong Kong and vice
versa cannot be underestimated.
China is by far and away Hong
Kong's leading trading partner,
accounting for 36 percent of all
imports and exports, worth a
staggering HK $1,049,815
million a year.
Hong Kong is also China's largest
source of foreign investment, with
Hong Kong manufacturing
companies with mainland
production plants responsible for
more than five million jobs in
neighbouring Guangdong
Province alone.
China is one of the leading
investors in Hong Kong, with nearly
1,800 mainland-backed enterprises
worth US $42.5 billion registered in
Hong Kong. The former British
colony is also China's most
important entrepot with nearly 50
percent of all exports passing
through Hong Kong.
Indeed, such is the closeness of
links between Hong Kong and its
new master that more than 800
vessels, 100 flights, 35 trains and
26,000 vehicles travel across the
border between Hong Kong and the
mainland each day.
Established in 1966 as a statutory
body for promoting and developing
overseas trade with the world,
HKTDC's objectives include
developing and diversifying markets
for Hong Kong companies,
strengthening its position as Asia's
leading venue for exhibitions and
trade fairs and enhancing the
worldwide image of Hong Kong, its
products and services.
HKTDC, which acts as a global
business co-ordinator for 28 key
Hong Kong business associations,
holds more than 350 promotional
events worldwide each year
involving more than 12,000
participants from Hong Kong.
In addition, it promotes Hong
Kong products through 20 trade
magazines with a global circulation
of 2.3 million copies, its own
computerised trade enquiry service
and delegations overseas. Its 20
major international trade fairs and
exhibitions in Hong Kong each year
attract 7,000 exhibitors and over
one million visitors.
HKTDC, whose members include
leading Hong Kong businessmen,
industrialists and representatives
from major trade associations, has
51 offices in 34 countries across the
globe, serving the marketing

Multimodal Gateway
HONG Kong's status as one of the

other major civil engineering
projects connected with its opening.
The state-of-the-art airport, built

north-west of Lantau Island, will
boast an ultimate capacity of 87
million passengers and nine
million tonnes of cargo a year.

the airport, initially equipped to
handle 35 million passengers and
three million tonnes of freight a
year, enjoys around-the-clock
operating status.
The airport — which replaces
Kai Tak, one of the top three
international airports handling
nearly 30 million passengers and
1.5 million tonnes of cargo worth
over HK $560 billion (US$70
billion) a year — is currently
served by 60 scheduled
airlines operating more than
200 departures daily to 100
countries across the world.
A new purpose-built
rail link guarantees 23-
minute journey times
between the HK $70 billion
(US$9.1 billion) gateway
and Hong Kong Island's
Central District.
Massive infrastructure
development projects
related to the new airport's
construction include the Lantau Link
— two major bridges and a viaduct
connecting the airport with
Kowloon and subsequently all urban
areas of Hong Kong Island — the
West Kowloon Expressway, Airport
Railway, Tung Chung, North Lantau
Expressway, West Kowloon and
Central Reclamation projects, and
Western Harbour Crossing, Hong
Kong's third underwater road tunnel.
The HK$13.8 billion (US$1.7
billion) Lantau Link comprises Tsing
Ma, the world's longest suspension
bridge spanning the 2.2 kilometre
distance between Tsing Yi and Ma
Wan islands, Ma Wan Viaduct and
Kap Shui Mun Bridge connecting
Ma Wan with Lantau Island.
The Airport Railway, running 34
kilometres from a new station on
Hong Kong Island to Chep Lak Kok,
is the world's first railway system
built specifically to serve an airport,
with an integrated design for
equipment and stations.
It provides direct connections to
Hong Kong's Mass Transit Railway
(MTR) at Central and at Lai King,
courtesy of a new interchange
offering direct connections to the
Tsuen Wan Line.
Major new road systems include
the West Kowloon Expressway and
the 12.5 km long North Lantau
Expressway to Chep Lak Kok. Both
offer connections to Route 3, the
main north-west trunk road to
destinations in mainland China.

third road tunnel under the harbour,
the two kilometre long, six-lane
Western Harbour Crossing, is
capable of accommodating
180,000 vehicles a day.
The West Kowloon Reclamation,
providing 334 hectares of land
between Yau Ma Tei and Lai Chi
Kok for a multitude of purposes, is
the largest reclamation project ever
undertaken in Hong Kong,
increasing the size of the Kowloon
peninsula by a third and adding
one kilometre of waterfront.
Tung Chung on north Lantau,
designed to accommodate a
support community for the new
airport, is Hong Kong's ninth
new town and the first to be
built on an island.
All projects form part of the
Airport Core Programme (ACP),
one of the world's largest civil
engineering projects, designed to
enhance the territory's role as a
major international financial, trading
and business centre.
The Hong Kong Government
contributed HK $110 billion
(US$14.3 billion) towards the total
HK$155 billion (US$20 billion)
cost of all ten ACP projects.
Private sector investment and
commercial loans fund the
remaining development costs.
Hong Kong's rapidly growing
transport infrastructure provides
nearly 1,800 kilometres of
interlinking road networks up to the
border with China.
Hong Kong Island is covered by
one network and Kowloon, Kwun
Tong and Junk Bay by another,
whilst a third road system provides
rapid connection times between the
six new towns (Fan Ling, Sha Tin,
Tai Po, Tsuen Wan, Tuen Mun and
Yuen Long) of the New Territories.
Three road tunnels, including the
recently completed Western
Harbour Crossing, link Hong Kong
Island and Kowloon and other
urban areas with surrounding
industrial sites.
Numerous ferry companies
operating out of dedicated facilities
at Hong Kong Port provide hundreds
of services a day for both
commuters and holidaymakers. Star
Ferries, perhaps the port's most
internationally famous operator,
provides a constant
flow of services from
Central to Tsim Sha
Tsui, Hung Horn and
Whampoa and
between Tsim Sha Tsui
and Wan Chai.
Nine different ferry
companies operating a
combination of
conventional and highspeed
vessels offer
more than 200 sailings
a day to nearly 30
destinations in
mainland China and
Macau from the port's
China and Macau
ferry terminals.
Air-conditioned MTR
trains cover 43.2 km of
track across Hong Kong
Island, Kowloon and
the New Territories (NT).
In addition to the
MTR, Hong Kong is served by the
Kowloon-Canton Railway (KCR) and
Light Rail Transit (LRT) system, one
of the world's most sophisticated
urban transport systems, linking NT
towns with Tuen Mun and Yuen Long.
KCR, equipped with 34 kilometres
of track stretching from Kowloon
Station in Hung Horn to the border
of mainland China, complements its
suburban passenger service with
daily freight trains to China serving
demand from both container and
bulk cargo customers.
Other transport options available
in Hong Kong include trams,
mini-buses, double-decker buses,
maxicabs and taxis.

As always, doing business in Hong Kong
is easy to predict.
No other economy in Asia has such an open,
transparent regulatory regime, offering a level
playing-field for international business.
As well, Hong Kong's fundamentals -
expertise in a broad range of business
services, a diverse manufacturing base,
and unique strengths in the Chinese market
- are prime capital for continued growth.
Simply put, Hong Kong enhances the value
of every transaction.
Whether neighbouring seas are rough or
calm, Hong Kong continues to steam ahead.

port operations
Marine services ensure safety is a top
priority at Hong Kong Port
The Government's Marine
Department is responsible for
maintaining the port's excellent
safety record, increasingly important
in recent years as traffic volumes
grow with the port's success.
THE waterways of Hong Kong
continue to be some of the busiest in
the world with over 230,000
dockings during 1997.
Ensuring the efficient and safe
operation of the port is the Hong
Kong SAR Government's Marine
Department, which is responsible
for all navigational matters and
safety standards for all classes
and types of vessels.
Headed by the Director of Marine,
S.Y. Tsui, the Marine Department is
guided by its mission to 'Promote
Excellence in Marine Services'. The
Department is a unique entity in the
international maritime community due
to the many duties it performs to
ensure the port's operations run
smoothly. 'The Marine Department is
not simply a government department/'
explained S.Y. Tsui. "We are also a
port authority in the eye of marine
administrations overseas," he said.
To facilitate efficient operations, the
Department is divided into five
operational divisions — Port Control,
Planning and Services, Multi-Lateral
Policy, Government Fleet, and
Shipping — each led by an
Assistant Director of Marine. In
total the Department employs
approximately 1,700 people.
Safety is a leading concern of the
Marine Department. An encouraging
20 percent decline in the number of
serious marine accidents in 1997
compared to the previous year is a
result of enhanced efforts in marine
traffic control. 'The maritime industry
is becoming more aware of the
importance of maintaining safety in the
harbour, and the Marine Department is
now more proactive in its safety
management approach," Mr Tsui said.
Commenting on the direction of the
Marine Department following the
reunification of Hong Kong with the
People's Republic of China, Mr Tsui
spoke of closer links with the
mainland. "In the future, we will have
more contact with our counterparts in
China, and I expect both sides will
have to co-operate often and make
use of each other's facilities,
information and technology," he said.
Mr Tsui acknowledged that Hong
Kong will now work closely with the
mainland with regards to
representations to international
forums such as the International
Maritime Organisation (IMO).
Locally, the Department works
closely with a number of Government
Departments and shipping
representative groups to ensure a
co-ordinated approach to port

THE Vessel Traffic Services (VTS)
Branch of the Marine Department
provides services to sea-going
vessels and high-speed ferries
employed on international routes, to
facilitate their arrivals, expeditious
business activities and departures as
quickly and safely as possible.
These objectives are achieved
through:
(a) The Vessel Traffic Centre (VTC)
maintains surveillance coverage of
95 percent of Hong Kong waters
navigable by sea-going vessels so as
to monitor and regulate vessel
movements and the VTC also gives
information and offers advice to
mariners through a VHP network
according to prevailing navigational
conditions;
(b) The Port Formalities Office (PFO)
which enables all necessary
formalities concerning vessels
entering and leaving Hong Kong to
be achieved, and
(c) The provision of free
shipping information services to
allied governmental and nongovernment
agencies and the
provision of daily reports on a
fee-paying basis.
Passenger Terminal Services
THE Marine Department manages
both the Macau and China Ferry
Terminals which, respectively,
provide centralised ferry services to
Macau and various ports in China.
Satisfying the needs of tens of
millions of travellers every year, the
terminals are operated by the
government on a cost-recovery basis.
The Macau Ferry Terminal provides
10 operational berths for high-speed
passenger vessels, two conventional
ferry berths and a helipad which
allows helicopter services between
Hong Kong and Macau.
The China Ferry Terminal
provides eight berths for highspeed
passenger ferries and three
conventional ferry berths.
Harbour Moorings

port operations
One of the many functions of the Marine Department is to
facilitate the safe and swift movement of ships,
cargoes and passengers through the port.
Of these, there are 41 'A' Class
moorings suitable for vessels of a
length not exceeding 183 metres,
and 20 'B' Class moorings for
vessels no longer than 137
metres in length.
Buoy dues are levied by the
Marine Department on vessels using
government moorings.
Pollution Control
THE Marine Department's Pollution
Control Unit is responsible for
preventing and cleaning up oil
discharges into sea and harbour
cleansing services.
The Unit undertakes regular
inspections of vessels that are
bunkering/transferring oil in Hong

on the precautions to be taken.
The Pollution Control Unit also
checks oil terminals to ensure
that their anti-oil pollution
equipment is in good order.
The unit provides a floating refuse
scavenging service in the harbour
and in the major typhoon shelters
and a free, daily domestic waste
collection service to sea-going
vessels moored or anchored in
Victoria Harbour.
Maritime Search and Rescue
(SAR) and Marine
Emergency Centre (MEC)
SINCE its establishment in 1985, the
Marine Department's Maritime
Rescue Co-ordination Centre
(MRCC) has become one of the
world's most highly regarded search
and rescue facilities.
The Marine Department is the
Maritime Search and Rescue
Co-ordinator for the area of the
South China Sea north of latitude
100° north and west of longitude
120° east, excluding the immediate
coastal waters of neighbouring
states. Covering an area of some
450,000 square kilometres, the
MRCC is one of the few fully
operational shore-based radio
stations of the Global Maritime
Distress and Safety System. It is
also instrumental in saving hundreds
of lives each year.
The Marine Emergency Centre
(MEC) is co-located with the MRCC
on the 12th floor of the Rumsey
Street Multi-storey Car Park
Building, Sheung Wan, where full
communication capability is
available for the co-ordination of
search and rescue missions for ships
getting into difficulties within about
1,300 kilometres of Hong Kong.
A full-time staff of SAR trained
officers are on duty at the MRCC
and MEC 24 hours a day.
Pilotage
THE Director of Marine is the
autority regulating and monitoring
pilotage services in Hong Kong.
Compulsory pilotage covers ships
of 3000 gross registered tonnes or
more and all gas carriers, which are
required to telex the Vessel Traffic
Centre 12 hours in advance of their
estimated arrival time to advise on
their requirement for the services of
a pilot. Pilotage services are
provided on a 24-hour basis by a
licensed pilot who is a member of
the Hong Kong Pilots Association.

community of nautical services
which were provided by the British
Academy before the reversion of
sovereignty on 1 July 1997. The
office continues major re-surveys of
the port, and publish and sell
bilingual nautical charts and
publications. Hydrographic surveys
and nautical charts follow the
standards set by the International
Hydrographic Office.
The Port Services Division of the
Department is responsible for
ensuring that information contained
on charts and in nautical
publications is accurate and up-todate,
with a Hydrographic Office
established within the division to
perform these tasks.
Services to Local Craft
PROVIDING services to the
thousands of local Hong Kong craft,
the Marine Department has a number
of local offices throughout the SAR
for regulating and controlling local
craft, processing entry and clearance
of local and river-trade vessels,
managing public cargo working areas
and typhoon shelters.
The Department's duties
include licensing of launches,
ferries and pleasure vessels.
Public Cargo
Handling Areas
THE Marine Department has been
working in recent years to reform the
operation of Hong Kong's Public
Cargo Working Areas (PCWAs) to
ensure more efficient and fair use of
the facilities. As a result, berthing
space in PCWAs is now contracted
to specific users in the private sector.
These new arrangements began
operation in February 1998 after an
extensive 18-month consultation
period within the government and
with the industry.
Port State Control
HONG Kong is a founding
Committee Member of the Asia-
Pacific Regional Memorandum of
Understanding on Port State Control
(commonly known as the Tokyo
MOU) which was established in
December 1993.
The Marine Department is
obliged to ensure that non-HK
registered ships entering the Port
of Hong Kong comply with the
requirements of various international
conventions (IMO and ILO).
To satisfy its obligations under
the Tokyo MOU, the Marine
Department conducted port state
control inspections on 501 non-HKregistered
ships in 1997 with a reinspection
of about 40 percent. A
total of 769 inspections were
conducted in 1997, compared to a
total 475 inspections during the
previous year.
International Safety
Management Code
THE International Code for the Safe
Operation of Ships and for Pollution
Prevention — commonly known as
the International Safety Management
(ISM Code) — was incorporated into
the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) in May
1994.
The ISM Code will become
mandatory on 1 July 1998 for
passenger ships (including highspeed
ferries), oil tankers, chemical
tankers, gas carriers, bulk carriers
and cargo high-speed craft.

responsible for the auditing of Hong
Kong registered ships in conjunction
with recognised organisations to
ensure compliance with the ISM
Code. The Department is confident
that all Hong Kong registered ships
will obtain the ISM certifications by
the 1 July 1998 deadline.
The Marine Department will
rigorously exercise port state control
in respect of the ISM Code after 1
July 1998 to ensure that all ships
visiting Hong Kong have in place a
Safety Management System (SMS).
MARAD Strategy Study
THE heavy use of Hong Kong
waters, combined with the
continuous development in the port,
demands efficient forward planning
to ensure that safety in the harbour
is not reduced.
To this end, the Marine Department
commissioned the MARAD Strategy
Study (Comprehensive Study on
Marine Activities, Associated Risk
Assessment and Development of a
Future Strategy for the Optimum
Usage of Hong Kong Waters) in
September 1995.
The study, which was completed
in February 1997, assesses the
present and future levels of marine
navigation risk in Hong Kong and
has established the way for a
blueprint for the best use of Hong
Kong waters up to the year 2001
through better integration of land
developments and water activities.
In accordance with the report's
recommendations, the Marine
Department has stepped up
necessary control and enforcement
measures in the harbour and has
reorganised to create a unified
patrol system to enhance patrolling
of Hong Kong Waters.
Other Government Services
OUTSIDE of the Marine Department,
there are a number of Government
departments and services which are
also essential in the efficient day to

Superior container port prospers as agents
reap the rewards of private enterprise
Privately owned terminal operators
have led the way to success at Kwai
Chung Container Port, with a perfect
blend of efficiency and investment,
they provide an impeccable service
that will ensure continued growth.
Kwai Chung Container Port
THE jewel in the crown of the Port of
Hong Kong is the Kwai Chung
Container Port. Located on the
Rambler Channel on the western side
of the Kowloon Peninsula, Kwai
Chung is the home of the most
productive container terminals in the
world and serves as a shining
example of the efficiency delivered
by Hong Kong's private sector-led
development model.
Operations at the container port
began in 1972 with the arrival of the
first container vessel to Hong Kong
waters. Development accelerated
following the opening of the Chinese
mainland to international trade in
1978, which allowed Kwai Chung to
achieve double-digit growth rates in
container traffic throughout the 1980s
and early 1990s.
Of the 14.5 million TEUs handled
in Hong Kong in 1997, Kwai Chung's
privately-owned terminal operators
handled just under two-thirds (9.49
million TEUs), representing a rise of
9.3 percent over 1996.
There are currently eight container
terminals at Kwai Chung, divided
between four operators — Modern
Terminals Ltd (MTL), COSCO-HIT
Terminals (CHT), Hongkong
International Terminals (HIT) and Sea-
Land Orient Terminals (SLOT).
Productivity at Kwai Chung has
continued to increase over recent
years following heavy investment by
operators on modern container
handling equipment and information
technology systems. As a result, the
operation of Kwai Chung continues

world's leading container port
Although COSCO-HIT Terminals(CHT) has only been operating since
1994 it handled over 1.3 milliion TEU's in 1997.
CHT will launch a pre-advisegatehouse system in June 1998 which will
further improve the efficiency of tractor turnaround.
Hongkong International Terminals operates 10 berths and currently
handles 60 percent of all containers passing through Kwai Chung Port.
to set the benchmarks by
which the rest of the world
determines best practice in
container port operations.
The demands of the new
millennium are to be met at Kwai
Chung through the construction of
the new Container Terminal 9 (CT9)
on Tsing Yi, which is due to be
operational by the end of 2001.
COSCO-HIT Terminals
COSCO-HIT Terminals (Hong Kong)
Ltd (CHT) is a 50/50 joint venture
between China Ocean Shipping
(Group) Company (COSCO)
and Hongkong International
Terminals Ltd (HIT).
The terminal, situated on the
northern corner of Stonecutters
Island, is joined to the Kwai Chung
Container Port by a land bridge and
has a designed handling capacity of
900,000 TEUs per annum.
CHT began operations in
January 1994 and became fully
operational in July of the same
year. In 1997 it handled over
1.3 million TEUs.
CHT operates a real-time
yard computer system and an
up-to-date ship planning system
which ensure fast and efficient
container movement.
In June 1998, a pre-advise
gatehouse system will be
launched to replace the existing
system for tractors to deliver and
pick up containers. By knowing
the arrival of tractors beforehand,
and making use of computer
systems to check documents and to
direct yard location, CHT will
further enhance the efficiency of
tractor turnaround.
Hongkong International
Terminals (HIT)
HONGKONG International
Terminals (HIT), as the flagship of
the world's largest private container
terminal operator, Hutchison Port
Holdings Group, currently handles
about 60 percent of all containers
passing through
the Kwai Chung
Container Port.
HIT was
established in
1969 and
operates 10
berths at its
wholly-owned
container
terminals 4, 6
and 7, in
addition to two berths through a
50-50 joint venture with China
Ocean Shipping Co (COSCO) at
Terminal 8 East.
The combined throughput
of the 12 berths totalled 6.4 million
TEUs in 1997, a rise of 13 percent
over 1996.
HIT is set to grow further after
winning the rights to build and
operate two berths at the new
Container Terminal 9 (CT9)
development on Tsing Yi, which is
scheduled to become operational by
the end of 2001. Once complete,

HIT carries out container freight
station activities in the Hongkong
International Distribution Centre,
which is located at Container
Terminal 4 and has over 290,000 sq
metres of storage area.
Driving HIT's growth in recent
years has been the company's $1.5
billion Productivity Plus Programme
(3P), whose key elements have
been to improve stacking, handling
and yard operations at HIT's Kwai
Chung terminals.
To increase stacking capacity in
the yard areas, HIT has acquired
new rail-mounted gantry cranes
(RMGs), which allow a very high
level of automation in their
operation. The stacking height of
some existing rubber-tyred gantry
cranes (RTGs) has also been
increased to allow for more efficient
land use and improved productivity.
The latest generation of postpanamax
quay cranes have been
purchased to increase container
handling capacity at the quay side.
HIT has also utilised new
information technology, known as
the 3P system, to improve yard
operations and deliver better
customer service.
The 3P project, which is
acknowledged to have boosted
HIT's productivity by over 30
percent, won the company the

The Asia Terminal Centre, operated by Sea-Land Terminals' subsidiary
Asia Terminals, is well-eqiiipped to handle freight operations
for the adjacent Terminal 3.
Sea-Land Orient Terminals have a 13 percent share of Hong Kong's
container handling market, and this looks set to rise with investment in
a new terminal to increase capacity.
Sea-Land Orient Terminals
SEA-LAND Orient Terminals (SLOT)
operates arguably the world's most
efficient container terminal,
handling more then one million
TEUs yearly despite the limitation of
a single berth.
A combination of high-tech
equipment, facilities and human
vigilance allowed SLOT to
accommodate 1.1 million TEUs in
1997, as an average of 20 vessels a
week called at Berth No. 3 of Hong
Kong's Kwai Chung Container Port.
Indeed such is the efficiency of its
handling operation that its 305
metre long berth — capable of
accommodating 5,500 TEU
capacity vessels with a draught of
1 2.2 metres — enjoys a 95 percent
utilisation rate 24 hours a day,
seven days a week.
SLOT's 1 7 hectare site is equipped
with 11 rubber-tyred gantry cranes,
14 bridge cranes and three quayside
gantry cranes which average 40
moves per hour, ensuring that it
takes SLOT just 10 hours to
load/discharge up to 1,200 TEUs
from a visiting vessel.
Located between the port's HIT
and MTL terminals, SLOT's facility
boasts a stacking capacity of 7,146
TEUs and a total yearly handling
capacity of 1.2 million TEUs.
High-tech computer systems and
EDI technology utilised at the
terminal include a Yard Inventory
Control System, a Vessel Stowage
System and a Gate System which
allows an average of 2,800 in-andout
transactions every 24 hours.
Container Freight Station
operations for Berth 3 take place in
the adjoining Asia Terminal Centre
— operated by SLOT subsidiary Asia
Terminals Ltd — which is equipped
with 94 receiving and loading bays.
SLOT also operates a container
storage and repair depot in South
Container Port Road, close to
Container Terminal 8, and utilises
the services of subsidiary Orient
Trucking Ltd (OTL) for onward
distribution by truck and barge to
destinations in Hong Kong and
mainland China.
OTL, which regularly operates
barges to Pearl River Delta ports,
currently has a fleet of 90 tractors
and 221 chassis based in Hong
Kong and nearly 100 tractors in
mainland China, used for carrying
out both cross-border trucking
operations and domestic services in
Guangdong Province in a jointventure
operations with Sinotrans.
Its comprehensive range of
services in Hong Kong has led to
SLOT capturing a lucrative 13
percent share of the regions
container handling market.
Managing Director Alan Y. Lee
said: "Our aim is simply to provide
the best possible service for our
customers. Hong Kong is the
gateway to Asia with vessels
calling at our facility primarily
serving the Asia-US, Asia-Asia
and Asia-Europe markets."
SLOT is determined to improve its
current facilities to ensure that it is
equipped to meet future demand by
participating in the investment of the
new HK$11 billion container
terminal (CT9) which will give Hong
Kong an additional holding capacity
of about 3.6 million TEUs
Its existing facility is exclusively
served by vessels operated by Sea-
Land, Maersk and the Tricon
Consortium (Choyang, DSR Senator,
Hanjin) shipping lines with cargoes
incorporating everything from
garments, electrical appliances and
waste paper to frozen vegetables.

'es at Hong Ko
Competitive mid-stream resources are a
vital boost to port activity
Essential to the port's operations are
the mid-stream facilites for offloading
cargo, originally acting as a relief to
congestion at Kwai Chung, they are
now an integral part of port activity.
MID-STREAM operations account for
a quarter of all cargo handling
activities at the Port of Hong Kong,
with more than 40 million tonnes of
freight a year being accommodated
by vessels at moorings or at anchor in
the busy harbour.
The Marine Department
specifically maintains 62 moorings
and eight public cargo working areas
equipped with nearly 7,700 metres
of quay for mid-stream operations,
ensuring Hong Kong's status as one
of the busiest gateways in the world
for such activity.
The facilities are complemented by
a fleet of 1,050 lighters and more
than 283 tow boats operated by
more than a dozen companies
carrying out mid-stream cargo
handling operations at the port.
All of the lighters in use at Hong
Kong Port, including 827 equipped
with their own derricks, allowing
them to load and discharge cargoes
between visiting vessels and the port's
quayside facilities.
The port's eight public cargo
working areas for mid-stream cargo
are located at Cha Kwo Ling, Kwun
Tong, Rambler Channel, Tuen Mun,
Tsuen Wan, Wan Chai, Western
District and new Yaumatei.
The port's dedicated moorings for
mid-stream operations are divided
into two classes — A for vessels of up
to 183 metres and B, for vessels with
a maximum length of 137 metres.
The combination of equipment and
facilities — more than 75 percent of
its moorings are 'typhoon' rated
ensuring that they are safe to use
during a tropical cyclone — allows
more than three million TEUs a
year to be handled mid-stream at the
Port of Hong Kong.
The total means that mid-stream
operations, originally viewed as
simply a low-cost alternative to
calling at Kwai Chung Container Port,
now account for 20 percent of all

Dedicated providers of bulk materials
help fuel the economic engine
Imported into the Port of Hong Kong
every year are millions of tonnes of
bulk cargoes, including coal, cement
and petroleum, which are all
essential commodities for the power
and building industries in the region.
BULK cargoes primarily made up of
coal, cement and petroleum products
account for more than 50 million
tonnes of freight handled at the Port
of Hong Kong in 1996.
Coal is the main source of energy
for Hong Kong's two main power
stations which import nearly seven
million tonnes a year to facilities
capable of accommodating
140,000 dwt vessels.
Between them Green Island Cement
and Far East Cement handle nearly
three million tonnes of cement across
the gateway's quays yearly as noncontainerised
bulk shipments account
for around 18 percent of the
gateway's total tonnage throughput.
BP, Caltex, China Resources
Petroleum & Chemical (CRPC), Esso
and Shell are just a few of the major
oil companies with terminals at Hong
Kong Port capable of handling
100,000 dwt refined product tankers.
China Light & Power
CAPE-SIZE bulk carriers bring regular
coal shipments to CLP's Castle Peak
Power Station at Tuen Mun in the
New Territories.
The plant's cape-size berths are
capable of accommodating 140,000
dwt carriers up to 1 7 metres draught.
The use of dolphins allows the
simultaneous berthing of two vessels.
CLP uses the berths to import more
than 2.5 million tonnes of coal a
year to Hong Kong direct from coal
mines in Australia, Indonesia, South
Africa and China.
Quayside handling equipment at
the company's Hong Kong port-based

Hongkong Electric
HONGKONG Electric uses a single
berth capable of accommodating
100,000 dwt vessels to import 3.5
million tonnes of coal a year to its
Hong Kong port-based power plant.
The berth boasts a water depth of
16.5 metres, two IHI
1,000 tph grab
unloaders and a IHI
1,500 tph continuous
loader, ensuring it is
more than well
equipped to quickly and
efficiently handle the
regular flow of coal
vessels from Australia,
China and Indonesia.
The company, which
uses its plant at Po Lo
Tsui to supply electricity to 1.5
million people living and working
in private and commercial premises
on Hong Kong and Lamma islands,
ensures that it always has a
minimum of six weeks supply
of coal in storage at its Lamma
Island facility.
To ensure adequate and reliable
electricity supply, Hongkong
Electric's coal inputs through the
Port of Hong Kong have increased
steadily over the years since 1982,
when the Lamma Power Station
first began operation. By
December 1997, the eighth
coal-fired generating unit was
commissioned, bringing the total
installed capacity to 3,305 MW.
Hong Kong's sub-tropical climate

international shipping
A wealth of opportunities attract
successful shipping lines
The authorities of Hong Kong and the
organisations founded to look after
the interests of shipping in the area
are working together to ensure
that local shipping industry
continues to prosper.
The Hong Kong Shipping
Register
THE coming year looks set to be a
year of growth for the Hong Kong
Shipping Register. The Register, which
records the details of vessels that
operate under the Hong Kong SAR
flag, was at its lowest in November
1997 with only 5.543 million Gross
Registered Tonnage (CRT), which
represents almost a 40 percent
decline compared with its peak of
9.09 million CRT in May 1996.
The two main reasons for the drop
were the movement of British-owned
vessels to other British registers
following Hong Kong's reunification
with China, and a level of
uncertainty among some shipowners
about possible operational
restrictions on their Hong Kongregistered
vessels after 1997.
However, the smooth transition to
the 'One Country, Two Systems'
model has allayed many concerns,
with the expectation that Hong
Kong-based shipowners, along
with a number of mainland
Chinese shipowners, are beginning to
place vessels on the Hong Kong
Shipping Register.
Towards the end of 1997, the
tonnage on the Register has shown a
steady growth; by the end of March
1998, there were 487 vessels totalling
6.067 million CRT.
The Hong Kong Government's
Marine Department, in its role as
administrator of the Shipping
Register, has continued its efforts to
help the shipping industry together
with the Hong Kong Shipowners
Association (HKSOA) and other
interested parties. Measures were
also introduced to make the register
more internationally competitive.
Improvements to the Hong Kong
Shipping Register announced in early
1998 include:

international shipping
Arthur Bowring, Director of Hong Kong Shipowners Association is
responsible for actively promoting the interests of both shipowners
and shipmanagers in the region.
•The requirement for the first
registry inspection for cargo ships
not more than 10 years old to be
waived provided the first annual
survey is conducted by a
government surveyor;
• Hong Kong registered ships will be
required to install safety equipment
in line with international maritime
convention requirements; and
• Fees for the issue of Hong Kong
licences to foreign certified officers
and for the employment and
discharge of seafarers to be
absorbed by annual tonnage dues.
In addition to these measures, a
government/private sector working
group has been formed to consider
long-term improvements to further
improve the competitiveness of the
Hong Kong Shipping Register.
According to S.Y Tsui, Director of
Marine, the new initiatives will not
compromise safety standards onboard
Hong Kong SAR registered
vessels. "Our objective is to
maintain the quality of our Register,
but we also go along the line of
helping business. The Marine
Department is trying to streamline
procedures and get rid of
bureaucracy along with outdated
rules and regulations/' he said.
Arthur Bowring, Director of the
HKSOA, said a number of Hong
Kong-based shipowners are now
realising the potential benefits of
also having their vessels registered
in Hong Kong. "A lot of shipowners
in Hong Kong are asking: 'Why
should I have my ship registered
with some nameless bureaucrat in
Panama or New York' I would
rather have somebody down the road
who I can call up and talk to now/'
Mr Bowring said.
The Hong Kong Register has a very
good status and the Marine
Department is very accommodating
— they are very customer focused
and client responsive/' he added.
The Hong Kong Shipowners
Association
THE Hong Kong Shipowners
Association (HKSOA) serves the
primary purpose of promoting the
interests of the large shipowner and
shipmanaging community in the
Special Administrative Region.
The fleet of vessels owned or
managed by the Association's
membership — over 1,000 oceangoing
vessels totalling 52.5 million
dead weight tonnes — represents
one of the largest in the world. All
vessel types are represented on the
association's book, with over 40
percent classified as bulk carriers,
while tanker and container ships are
also prevalent. Vessels owned or
managed by HKSOA members
include those registered in 35
countries, with the majority of
vessels flagged in Panama, Hong
Kong or Liberia.
Since its establishment in 1957, the
HKSOA has grown to become
internationally respected in maritime
circles as an authoritative source of
opinion on issues affecting Asian
shipping interests.
The unique composition of the
Association, with a large number
of associate members from all fields
of the maritime sector, sees the
HKSOA active in a wide range of
endeavours.
Association Director, Arthur
Bowring, believes it is the varied
membership that is the strength
behind the HKSOA's success. "By
having associate members it gives us

international shipping
Neil Russell, Chairman of Hong Kong Liner Shipping Association
which concentrates on operational and logistical issues for the many
lines it represents.
the opportunity to look at issues indepth
without having to have a huge
secretariat/' Mr Bowring said.
Associate members of the
organisation include major banks,
classification societies, maritime
lawyers, average adjusters, ship
agencies, shipbrokers, ship builders
and repairers, surveyors, insurance
brokers and Protection and Indemnity
(P&l) clubs. The process of opinion
forming is achieved through subcommittees
and working groups, with
the executive committee overseeing
the Association's operation.
The HKSOA has also been a
leading member of the seven-year old
Asian Shipowners Forum (ASF).
"We're very active in the forum itself
and have members on all the (ASF)
standing committees. By doing that
we're collecting opinions across Asia
on a lot of the issues and on how
these issues are affecting Asians,"
Mr Bowring said.
Despite the fact that Hong
Kong's Chief Executive Tung Chee
Hwa was a former Chairman of
the HKSOA in 1976-77, the
Association believes that the profile of
the shipping industry needs to be
raised in government circles.
"Shipping, by nature, is a very private
business normally run by private
individuals who have their own ships
— it's not necessarily a transparent
business," Mr Bowring said. 'The
association is hoping to increase the
awareness of people in Government
and the Legislative Council of what
we're trying to achieve."
The association is also
endeavouring to lift the international
profile of Hong Kong as a shipping
centre. "I don't think a lot of
people in the rest of the world
realise the amount of shipping
business that goes on in Hong
Kong," Mr Bowring said.
To achieve these goals, the HKSOA
is increasing efforts to collect data
and promote the Hong Kong
maritime sector. "We're keen on
promoting Hong Kong as an
inclusive centre and telling people
what we have to offer as a gateway
to Asia and the rest of China," Mr
Bowring said.
The return of Hong Kong to
Chinese sovereignty has seen the
HKSOA develop close links with
Beijing, with the association
meeting with the People's
Republic of China then Premier Li
Peng in November 1997, as well as
with the Minister of
Communications Huang Zhen
Dong. "The association had a
fantastic reception in
Beijing and we had this
wonderful feeling of
being part of the family,"
said Mr Bowring.
Enjoying 'the best of
both worlds', he
explained that concerns
over the return of Hong
Kong to Chinese
sovereignty have proven
unfounded. "Hong
Kong, as a part of
China, has unrivalled
access into Beijing and,
at the same time, Beijing
wants to keep Hong
Kong completely
autonomous and very international,"
Mr Bowring said.
The Hong Kong Liner
Shipping Association
PROVIDING a common voice for the
many shipping lines that call at the
Port of Hong Kong is the Hong Kong
Liner Shipping Association.
An active participant in industry
affairs since its founding in 1982, the
Liner Shipping Association counts
among its members over 90 percent
of all shipping lines and agencies
that are represented in Hong Kong.
The Association does not involve
itself in commercial issues such as
freight rate negotiations or the
determination of surcharges,
preferring to focus on operational
and logistical issues affecting all
shipping lines.
"The issue of the competitiveness
of Hong Kong is at the top of the
60

international shipping
Executive Director ofHoiuj Konj] Shippers 3 Council, Clement Yucng, is
irorkinjj to improve conditions for importers and exporters in Honjj Kinijj.
Agenda for this year/' said
Secretary/Treasurer Roberto
Giannetta. "We see there is an issue
where Hong Kong is becoming
uncompetitive compared to the
regional ports, particularly the
regional People's Republic of China
ports/ 7 he said.
Mr Giannetta warned that Hong
Kong must act now to maintain its
competitiveness. "Hong Kong's
position as the world's busiest
container port is probably going to
be lost in the next few years... but
we do want to see the port stay as
competitive as possible/' he said.
To communicate its views, the
Hong Kong Liner Shipping
Association is a member of a
number of government run
committees, including the Pilotage
Advisory Committee, the Port
Operation Committee, and the
Liner Transport Container
Handling Committee.
In particular, the Association
points to Hong Kong's position as
'the most expensive port in the
world' as an impediment to the
port's continued competitiveness,
particularly compared to the
neighbouring Shenzhen ports like
Yantian, Shekhou and Chiwan.
A further issue that the Liner
Shipping Association has been
promoting is the need to dredge the
Rambler Channel into Kwai Chung
from its current depth of 12 metres
to a depth of 14-15 metres.
This work, which would enable
the port to accommodate the latest
generation of containerships when
they are fully loaded, is now
expected to be completed by the
year 2001, when the new Container
Terminal 9 project is finished.
The Association would also like
to see the dredging of the Tong
Gu channel to allow shipping
lines easier access to the Pearl
River Delta ports.
Mr Giannetta concluded that the
Liner Shipping Association aimed to
maintain Hong Kong as a regional
shipping hub. "Hong Kong is a great
place for consolidation and having
everything together in one place.
There is an advantage to shipping
lines maintaining a hub based in
Hong Kong, as long as the price is
right and as long as it makes
commercial sense," he said.
The Hong Kong
Shippers' Council
THE lifeline of an international
trading port like Hong Kong are the
people whose cargo is moved in
and out of the port — the importers
and exporters.
Bringing together this diverse
group of individuals and companies
is The Hong Kong
Shippers' Council
(HKSC).
Established in
1967, the Council
represents shippers
on issues relating
to the movement
of goods by sea,
air and land.
"One of our
main activities is
to monitor freight
rates and the level of services of the
transport service providers,"
explained HKSC Executive Director,
Clement Yeung. "If we feel the
freight rates are unreasonable or the
level of service is not good enough,
we will raise the issue with the
parties concerned," Mr Yeung said.
The Council is always keen to
promote the expansion of facilities
within the Port of Hong Kong, and
has been a big supporter of the new
Container Terminal 9 project which
will soon be built at Kwai Chung, as
well as developments of new
container terminals in Lantau.
The Hong Kong Shippers' Council
is also very active in the provision of
training to shippers and transport
sectors through a range of short and
long-term education programmes on
shipping, air freight, trade
documentation and cargo insurance.
The representation of Hong Kong
shippers in international forums is
an important function of the
Council. Participation on the
Federation of ASEAN Shippers'
Council is one example of the
HKSC's international activities.
61

international shipping
China Navigation always delivers a quality service, with its 12 vessels
offering both charter and liner operations to South East Asia
and the Pacific.
The Council also publishes the
bimonthly, bilingual magazine
Shippers Today, which is distributed
to freight forwarders, shipping
lines, airlines and transportation
companies in Hong Kong, China
and overseas.
The main membership of the
organisation is based on 15 major
trade and industry associations,
while there are also around 50
individual companies that have
chosen to support the HKSC by
seeking associate membership.
Issues of concern, which the
Council aims to address this year,
include the ongoing debate regarding
the level of terminal handling
charges (THCs) imposed upon
shippers by the shipping lines, and
the higher cost of using the new
Hong Kong International Airport at
Chep Lap Kok compared to Kai Tak.
In recent years, the Council has
also been lifting its relationship with
the People's Republic of China. "We
have been trying to work closely
with the Chinese authorities
responsible for the transportation of
goods because this is an important
issue for Hong Kong shippers/' Mr
Yeung said. "And although the Hong
Kong Port is very efficient, it is not
very cheap, so we take it upon
ourselves to keep shippers informed
of the developments in the Chinese
ports, especially those across the
border in Shenzhen," he added.
China Navigation
CHINA Navigation Co. (CNCo) Ltd,
the deep sea flag carrier of the
multi-faceted Swire Group, boasts a
fleet of 12 Hong Kong registered
vessels utilised on both liner and
charter services across south east
Asia and the Pacific region.
The vessels, which make up
75 percent of its 1 6 ship fleet,
include regular Hong Kong Port
callers the 500-TEU capacity
container vessel Poyang and
1 5,500 dwt container/ro-ro carrier
Pacific Islander.
The Pacific Islander, capable of
accommodating 446 TEUs and nearly
600 vehicles, calls at Hong Kong as
part of CNCo's twice monthly Greater
Bali Hai liner service, connecting
Hong Kong, Japan and Korea with 11
south Pacific islands including Fiji,
Tahiti, Western Samoa and the
Cook Islands. The 9,744 dwt Poyang
calls at the port about once every
three weeks as it carries out timecharter
operations between Japan,
China and Taiwan.
The average age of the CNCo's
fleet is just eight years, with the
163,000 dwt Capesize bulker,
Erradale, representing the largest dry
cargo vessel built at a UK yard.
In addition, CNCo jointly owns
four deep-sea container vessels with
P&O Nedlloyd and three feeder-size
container ships with Korea's Dong
Young Shipping.
Founded in 1872, CNCo uses its
fleet to provide liner services to 72
ports in the south Pacific region and
container and bulk operations
worldwide on a charter basis.
General Manager Fleet, Captain
Duncan Telfer, said: "In global terms
we are small compared to other
shipping lines but our priority is
quality service not size. The
importance of Hong Kong to
China Navigation is reflected in
the fact that our worldwide
shipping headquarters is still based
here despite just a few dozen port
calls a year."
CNCo managed liner operations
include Chief Container Service
(Australia-South Pacific), New
Guinea Pacific Line (South East Asia-
South Pacific-Australia), and the
Greater Bali Hai (North and East
Asia-Pacific Islands).
Regular cargoes carried by CNCo
vessels, currently handling around
100,000 TEUs yearly, include
everything from bags of rice,
condensed milk, coffee, cocoa
and copra to copper ore and
other metals.
Other Hong Kong companies
which are 100 percent owned or
jointly owned by the Swire Group
include Cathay Pacific Airways,
Hong Kong United Dockyards
(HUD) and Modern Terminals
Limited (MTL).
OOCL
ORIENT Overseas Container Line
(OOCL), handling over 1.6 million
TEUs in Hong Kong each year,

international shipping
Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) is one of the largest
containerised shipping lines in the world handling 500,000 TEUs
in Hong Kong annually.
OOCL has a substantial fleet of 34 modern vessels serving routes to
Europe, the US and the Far East.
is one of the largest global
container operators on the planet,
providing customers with fully
integrated, containerised

The Hong Kong based carrier -
principally serving destinations in
Europe, the US and the Far East
from Hong Kong — utilises a very
modern fleet of 34 container vessels
to carry 1.6 million TEUs across the
globe yearly.
Its vast worldwide network
encompasses six principal trade
routes covering the Trans-Pacific,
Trans-Atlantic, Far East/Europe, Far
East/Australia, Far East/Middle East
and Intra-Asia markets.
OOCL's operations through Hong
Kong Port are complemented by
weekly East/West services carried out
by "Grand Alliance" members
Hapag-Lloyd, Malaysian International
Shipping Corporation, NYK Line,
OOCL and P&O Nedlloyd.
The formidable new alliance is the
largest such strategic grouping in the
world, involving more than 100
deep-sea container ships offering a
combination of weekly services
across a vast area stretching from
North America to Japan.
Stanley C. Shen, OOCL's General
Manager Corporate Affairs, said:
"The new alliance has
created an exceptionally
strong product to meet
our customers' needs
both for the present and
the future. Together we
ensure a balanced fleet
deployment in the major

Comprehensive services are the key to
smooth-running port operations
The array of companies providing
port services at Hong Kong
are committed to providing the best
possible performance and play a vital
role in maintaining the port's
popularity as a prime Asian gateway.
Chemical (CRPC) operates its own
fleet of bunker barges as does Feoso
Oil Ltd, Mobil and Shell. Other
bunker suppliers at the port include
Caltex, Esso and BP.
HONG Kong boasts one of the
world's most comprehensive and
versatile maritime service industries
embracing thousands of companies
dedicated to ensuring the smooth
around-the-clock flow of vessels and
cargo through the port.
From agents and brokers
representing various vessels to
forwarders, tug companies and an
assortment of specialist cargo
handling operators, all play a vital
part in helping maintain the gateway's
status as the hub of Asia and the
world's busiest container port.
CargoNet
HONG Kong has long been the preeminent
port for Southern China and
the hub for feeder ports around the
South China Sea. In a city where
change is the only constant, however,
nothing can be taken for granted.
Steady expansion of South China
ports — such as Yantian, Zhuhai and
Gaolan — and the resumption of
cross-straits shipping between Taiwan
and mainland China is having a
significant impact on the ocean
shipping industry. As a result, the Port
of Hong Kong must compete hard in
Bunkers
THE port's oil terminals provide
various grades of heavy fuel oil,
marine diesel, gas oil and lubricants
for vessels calling at Hong Kong.
All major facilities are capable of
accommodating tankers ranging in
size from 35,000-130,000 dwt
although most principally receive
supplies by barge from oil refineries
in mainland China.

CargoNet's PortNet initiative allows port users access to an extensive
information network increasing efficiency and helping to maintain
Hong Kong's premier port status.
the sphere of services in order to
maintain its lead.
A new port community network
operated by CargoNet -
Transportation Community Network
Ltd - is providing Hong Kong's ocean
shipping industry with a powerful
new tool to keep the shipments
flowing. CargoNet's PortNet project
— which is backed by a consortium
representing local and international
transport and IT interests — became
fully operational in May 1998.
PortNet was one of the first, and a
significant piece, of CargoNet's
unique suite of applications which
applies a shared real time
information network to the task of
transacting international trade.
Global IT services giant EDS — one
of CargoNet's major backers —
plans to use Hong Kong's
PortNet as the model for similar
developments in other major
global trading centres.
According to Ian Craig, Chief
Executive of CargoNet, PortNet uses
intelligent network technology to
enable much of the workflow
involved in the trade process to
take place in parallel, rather than
through the traditional multi-stage,
paper-based process.
"From the outset our concept was
to speed up the trade cycle by
introducing the ability for trade
information to be routed to multiple
parties at the same time/' said Mr
Craig. 'Through PortNet, the
information needed by the different
players in the trade process is
delivered as soon as it is generated
by whoever 'owns' that particular
piece of information. The level of
control inherent in the realtime
technology we're employing means
everyone gets the information they
need to do their job — nothing
more and nothing less."
PortNet employs standard Internet
technologies and marries them to a
more sophisticated real time
information transport mechanism.
The result is a real time
e-commerce extranet in which core
infrastructure is shared between
PortNet members with different
applications, and interfaces are
provided to meet specific sector
and company requirements.
The concept of a realtime
electronic commerce extranet has
been under development by
CargoNet since 1996, with much
of the detailed planning for PortNet
taking place during a six-month
analysis of information workflow
at Hongkong International
Terminals (HIT), another major
CargoNet backer.
HIT puts a lot of emphasis on
information infrastructure in its
strategy of continuously increasing
efficiency to maintain Hong Kong's
position as the region's hub for
container transport. PortNet plays a
key role in the strategy by enabling
terminal operators to add value by
acting as information hubs and
help the ocean shipping industry
as a whole to become more
customer-focused.
The first phase of PortNet was
rolled out in December 1997 with
support for real time information
links between terminal operators
and shipping lines, among which
K-Lines and Maersk were among
the first to sign up for the new
service. Phase two, which extended
PortNet to include freight
forwarders such as Cargo Services,
Calberson and Kuehne & Nagel,
went live in March 1998.
Network applications to support
shippers — along with links to
government agencies such as
Customs and Excise and other
business partners — were delivered
in May 1998, establishing PortNet
as a complete community system for
the Port of Hong Kong.
According to Mr Craig, CargoNet
will continue to expand the scope of
the network to bring in other parties
in the trade and transport cycle such
as marine insurers and banks that
are active in the Hong Kong trade
finance market.
"We anticipate having all the
important players in the ocean
industry participating in PortNet
by the end of 1998. As the
number of real time participants
in the community network
expands, the value of the whole

port history
A rich history of international trade sets
the standard for present day success
Over the past 150 years, Hong
Kong has flourished as a trade
and shipping centre, paving
the way for today's prosperity.
iffir
THE histories of Hong Kong and the port
are inextricably intertwined. Established
by the British government for the primary
use as an entrepot to the Chinese
mainland, the port has serviced the needs
of all types of shipping throughout its
history — from the early days of sail and
steam ships to the latest generation of
diesel powered container ships.
In the wake of the First Anglo-Chinese
War, Hong Kong Island was given to the
British by the Manchu Government
following the Treaty of Nanjing, which
was signed on 29 August 1842.
With the exception of a four-year
period during World War 11,,Hong Kong
remained under British control until 30
June 1997, at which time the region was
returned to Chinese sovereignty.
According to the records of the East
India Company, use of the Hong Kong
harbour by British Merchant vessels goes
back as far as 1689, with the port
steadily growing as a trade centre since
the early 1800s.
After the signing of the Treaty of
Nanjing, growth of Hong Kong
accelerated, with Sir Henry Pottinger
declaring the port to be a free port and
open to all ships, without discrimination,
in March 1842. i *£,
tjhe Second Anglo-Chinese War during
1856-58 was ended by the Treaty of
Tianjin, but following further hostilities,
the 1869 Convention of Peking saw the
handover of Stonecutters Island and
areas of the Kowloon peninsula to the
British, The New Territories were added
to the Hong Kong region on 9 June
!1898, under a 99-year lease from the
Chinese Government.
The busy trade in and out of Hong Kong
was soon supplemented by locally
manufactured goods in the last quarter of
the 19th century, by which time the port
had emerged as a major centre for world
trade. Alongside this, the port became a
thriving shipping services industry,
including ship building and ship repair
facilities, with the first dry dock in Hong
Kong completed in Aberdeen in 1860.
Ferry services, now an essential part of
the harbour view, first emerged in 1880
when the first regular cross-harbour
I service was launched.
The return of the British to Hong Kong
after the conclusion of the Second World
War saw the port resume its role as a
major international trade centre — a title
which was cemented with the emergence
of the new era of containerisation.
The arrival of containership Tokyo Bay
at Modern Terminal Limited's newly
finished Kwat Chung Container terminal
on 5 September 1972 was a watershed
moment not only for the port, but for all
of the people of Hong Kong. ^J^"
Now, as the world's largest container
port, the faith of those early pioneers in
|the future of containerisation has well and
truly been vindicated.

HongKong United
Dockyards
HONGKONG United Dockyards
(HUD), one of the few dockyards to
be continuously in business for
more than 130 years, specialises in
routine and emergency drydockings
and repairs to vessels at the
shipyard and afloat at berths, buoys
and anchorage.
The company, formed from the
1973 merger of the Hong Kong &
Whampoa Dock Company and
Taikoo Dockyard & Engineering Co.,
boasts clients ranging from the
world's largest container vessels to
cruiseships such as the QE2.
HUD's main 100,000 sq metre
ship repair yard at Tsing Yi Island is
equipped with one of the biggest
and most modern floating docks in
Asia. The floating dock United was
relocated to the site earlier this year
from its previous mooring at Yam 0
off Lantau Island. It has a lifting
capacity of 40,000 tonnes and is
able to handle most types and sizes
of vessels, particularly the new
generation of container vessels up
to 300 metres in length and with a
beam of up to 41 metres. HUD's
other floating dock, Whampoa has
a length over blocks of 220 metres,
an operational width of 32.3
metres and lifting capacity of
20,000 tonnes.
The company's Tsing Yi Island
yard also contains 250 metres of
jetty, mobile and fixed gantry

Its impressive range of facilities
allowed HUD to carry out dry
dock and floating repairs to more
than 60 vessels in 1997 with most
ships spending less than seven
days in port.
Typical ship repair work carried
out by HUD covers everything
from routine repairs and
refurbishment to major overhauls,
conversions and lengthening.
New streamlined HUD, which
today employs 525 full-time staff
after a major operational
restructure in November 1997

and ship management companies
among its customers.
HUD's Marine Manager, George
Windram, said: "We are always
striving to improve our performance
as the competition, particularly from
ship yards in mainland China, is
fierce. Hong Kong, however, is a
preferred port of call for most ship
owners and our reliable, quality, ontime
performance record persuades
many to use our facilities despite
4
higher costs than elsewhere in
south-east Asia/'
The company complements
operations at its Hong Kong
facilities by providing a range of
specialised marine services to its
clients at ship repair yards in China,
such as Guangzhou in nearby
Guangdong Province.
HUD's determination to diversify
its range of services, however,
means that land projects now
account for nearly 50 percent of
activity at its Hong Kong Port yard.
The bulk of its non-marine-related
activity concerns the installation and
maintenance of electrical and
mechanical equipment and the
manufacture of steel structures for
clients, ranging from government
offices and commercial buildings to
industrial plants throughout Hong
Kong and the New Territories.
In addition, projects such as
the starting gates at Happy Valley
race track, the cable for the Victoria
Peak tram, and steel structures
for the newly completed Tsing
Ma Bridge ensure that HUD's
influence in some way touches
the lives of almost every visitor to
Hong Kong.

General Manager Feat Szeto said:
"Our wealth of experience and
diversity of services ensure that

Experience the wonder of Asia's
spectacular island treasure
Enjoy Hong Kong's fascinating
contrasts, from ancient temples and
modern shopping malls to wildlife
reserves and beautiful beaches, there
is something to delight every visitor
to this glorious island.
THERE is an unmistakable buzz of
excitement about Hong Kong which,
to this day, remains one of the
world's most unique and vibrant
metropolises and a multi-purpose
holiday destination.
From temples that are centuries old
and modern amusement parks, to lush
green forests, sandy beaches, luxury
shopping malls and open-air street
markets, cosmopolitan Hong Kong is
a fascinating mix of old and new,
traditional and high-tech.
The newly created Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region (SAR)
of the People's Republic of China
comprises Hong Kong Island,
Kowloon Peninsula and the New
Territories which, in itself, contains
235 islands, each with its own
distinctive flavour and charm.
Most people appear to come to
Hong Kong to shop, spending an
average of 50 percent of their money
on goods bought at any of its
thousands of specialist shops and
department stores or from traditional
market stalls selling everything from
fruit to fine art and household pets.
Stanley Market, Ocean Park and
Victoria Peak, which should be
scaled at least once by the near
vertical-travelling Victoria Peak tram
and offers a 554 metre high
panoramic view over Hong Kong,
are without doubt Hong Kong's most
popular tourist attractions.
Another 'must-see', accessible by
cable car or escalator, is Ocean
Park. The largest oceanarium in
Southeast Asia, it comprises Water
World, the Middle Kingdom and a
Chinese cultural village and features
attractions such as Atoll Reef, Wave
Cove and Shark Aquarium.
Other popular tourist sites include
Hong Kong Park, a 10 hectare oasis
at the heart of Hong Kong Island,
Repulse Bay, St John's Cathedral, Aw
Boon Haw Gardens, Wong Tai Sin
Temple, Hong Kong Arts Centre and
Science and Space museums.
Hong Kong harbour and the
surrounding waters are, of course, a
tourist attraction in their own right
and can be explored by boarding a
host of vessels ranging from tiny
sampans which provide 20 minute
tours around Aberdeen Harbour, to
motor!sed junks offering seven
hour excursions.
Newer sites of interest for tourists
include the newly opened
international airport at Chek Lap Kok
and the 'Lantau Link' which
incorporates Tsing Ma Bridge, the
world's longest suspension bridge

tourism
Stanley Market, one of Hong Kong's most popular tourist attractions.
The magnificent Tsing Ma Bridge is the world's I's largest suspension
suspe*
bridge, linking the 2.2 kilometre distance between Tsing (j Ti and Ma
Wan islands.
An extensive public transport network exists in Hong Kong, including
trams, buses and trains to take visitors to all the major attractions.
spanning the 2.2 kilometre
distance between Tsing Yi and
Ma Wan islands.
Any kind of food is available in
Hong Kong, which boasts more than
8,000 restaurants ranging from
traditional Cantonese establishments
to burger bars and Indian take-aways.
"Igor's" and "Planet Hollywood" are
two of its newest theme restaurants.
Aberdeen's floating restaurants, only
accessible by motorised sampan, are
also hugely popular with tourists.
Although Chinese is the official
language, English, as you would
expect from a former British colony,
is widely spoken and jointly
displayed on all street signs and
public transport.
Hong Kong certainly enjoys one of
the world's cheapest and most
convenient public transport systems.
Travel options available range from
trams, buses and trains —
Mass Transit Railway (MTR),
Kowloon Canton Railway
(KCR) and Light Rail Transit
(LRT) system — to the famous
Star Ferry which has operated
around-the-clock services
between Central and Tsim
ShaTsui since 1898.
Ferries ranging from jetfoils
and hovercraft to traditional
Star Ferry vessels also provide
rapid connections to the
outlying islands of Cheung
Chau, Lamma and Lantau.
Nearly 30 destinations in
mainland China and
neighbouring Macau are also
accessible by ferry services.
Attractions such as Po Lin
Monastery, which houses the
world's largest seated outdoor
bronze Buddha, and tranquil
Lantaus Tung Chung Fort are
popular retreats for weary Hong
Kong residents as well as
adventurous overseas
holidaymakers.
The many varied and impressive
tourist attractions in the New
Territories
.
include Chuk Lam
Shim Yuen (Bamboo Forest
Monastery) and the 'Monkey
Hills' of Kam Shan Country
Park, offering a rich tapestry
of scenic contrasts which
incorporates everything from
hilly, rolling woodlands and
skyscraper-engulfed new
towns to wildlife reserves
and sandy beaches.
Indeed the Hong Kong
Tourist Association (HKTA)
has stepped up its overseas
promotion of the often neglected
New Territories and mainland China
as it bids to overcome a slight dip in
Hong Kong's tourism industry since
the 1997 handover.
HKTA's Public Relations
Department Manager, Peter Randall,
said: "Hong Kong is now part of
China and as such should be an
essential stop on any self-respecting
traveller's itinerary along with
destinations such as Beijing, Xian
and Guilin. Hong Kong is not
cheap, but it is becoming better
value for money."
Hong Kong's southerly location
ensures that it enjoys a subtropical
climate characterised by hot, humid
summers and wet, overcast winters.
Autumn, which lasts from October
to December and has an average
daily temperature of 22°C with 70
percent humidity, is probably the
best time to visit.
Leisure travellers and businessmen
from mainland China currently
account for 20 percent of Hong
Kong's 10.5 million overseas
visitors a year.
