Annual General Meeting 2003
CILTHK 2003 Annual General Meeting was successfully held on 18 September
2003 at the Police Officers’ Club in Causeway Bay. About 70 members
attended the meeting.
PRESIDENT’S REPORT
The President, Mr. Pedro Ching presented his report to members in
attendance at the meeting in relation to the CILT’s accomplishments and
tasks achieved in the past year and reported his resignation as President of
the Institute with effect from 1 October 2003 due to personal reasons. A
highlighted transcript of his report is given below:
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
Reclassification of Membership
A new membership structure was adopted at the International Council
Meeting held on 30 March and 1 April in Ottawa to replace existing
“Associate Member” with “Member” and to coin a new post-nominal MILT
for this grade. The existing post-nominals FCIT and MCIT for Fellow and
Chartered Members will be changed to FCILT and CMILT respectively. The
new membership structure and post-nominals titles will come into effect
upon approval from the Privy Council towards the end of year 2003.
Involvement in HKSAR Government policy making
The Institute was represented at the Logistics Development Council of the
Economic Development and Labour Bureau of the HKSAR Government and
its subordinate H and S Project Groups, the Road Safety Council as well as
the Transport and Logistics Board of the Vocational Training Council in the
past year.
Promote Public Awareness
With the strong support from both the Western Harbour Tunnel Co. and the
Mass Transit Railway Corporation Limited, and with their help, the public are
now supplied with information on our Institute through the banner at the
entrance of the Western Harbour Tunnel as well as advertising panels at
escalator crowns and platforms of MTR stations. In addition, directional signs
showing the exit to be used to go to our Institute’s office has also been put
up at the Wanchai MTR Station.
In addition, over the year, members of the Council have attended over 100
events including media interviews, conferences, seminars, social activities of
relevant private organisations and governmental departments both locally
and in China in either the capacity of interviewees, speakers, co-sponsors and
participants.
Value Added Services
The Institute has made great efforts to seek value added services provided to
its members. CILTHK Members can now enjoy exclusive privileges when
purchasing from seventeen specified merchants by showing their membership
cards. The CILTHK website has also been improved to be more user-friendly
and to encourage usage. Two upgrades have implemented in March and
June with new features such as “Chat Forum”, “Scheduler”, “Relevant
Links”, “Career Opportunities” and “Book Renewal” having been included.
To express the Institute’s whole-hearted thanks to its valued organization
members’ generous and continuous support, they have been given free
advertising space in the Institute’s
newsletter as well as free recruitment
advertisements on the Institute’s
website in March.

CILTHK Newsletter issue 14
successfully held at the Baptist University
on 15 March 2003. Seven student teams
took part in the event and 150 guests had
been attracted with the Champion award
finally been won by the City University of
Hong Kong. Moreover, to promote the
interest of secondary school children in the
field of transport and logistics and to
provide students an opportunity to present
high-quality analysis and innovative
recommendations for Hong Kong logistics
and transport policies, the Institute
organized the 1 st Student Essay
Competition to all secondary schools in
Hong Kong in February. The participating
students, their supervising teachers and
parents were invited to attend a prize
giving ceremony held in conjunction with
the Student Day 2003.
In addition to organizing such events,
CILTHK also participated in the annual
Education and Career Expo 2003 jointly
organized by the Labour Department and
the Hong Kong Trade Development
Council and gave career talks to members
of various organizations and education
institutions, including the Hong Kong
International Terminals, Productivity
Council, HKU SPACE, Hong Kong
Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
University of Science and Technology,
Hong Kong Baptist University, City
University of Hong Kong and SPEED of
Hong Kong Polytechnic University so as to
extend the presence of the Institute and
to promote the professionalism of
transport and logistics industries.
Continuing Professional

transport &
logistics policies committee
Tuen Mun Road Traffic Incident Independent
Expert Panel - Views on Highway Safety
The Transport and Logistics Policy
Committee of our Institute discussed some
of the issues relating to the Tuen Mun Road
Traffic Incident on 10 July 2003 and
concluded our views as follows:
1. The Tuen Mun Road incident reveals that
there may be some fairly dangerous
sections / locations on our highways.
2. As a general principle, traffic accidents
may be caused by three major factors:
driving behaviour, road environment
(including weather and road design) as
well as mechanical fault of the vehicle.
Significant improvements in vehicular
mechanical design in recent years have
made mechanical fault a lesser possible
factor but problems with driving
behaviour and road environment
prevail. While drivers are to be held
responsible for their driving attitude,
government is liable for any accident
caused by road design problems.
3. Good road design practices should cater
for the following aspects:
(a) Appropriate road horizontal and
vertical alignment (compatible with the
design speed and required sight lines);
(b) Road marking and signage (to regulate
dangerous weaving movements);
(c) Road barriers / railings / fence, lightings
and road pavement surfacing.
4. When designing a new road and
associated facilities, there are many
considerations including safety, cost
effectiveness, maintenance requirements,
aesthetic value and needs of the
stakeholders.
5. Designs are usually guided by design
standards, which should be periodically
updated as the aspirations of the
community and the design considerations
change over time. Many effluent
countries, most noticeable, the US,
Germany, UK, Australia, France and Japan
have these updates on a fairly regular
basis with the support of national road
research laboratories.
6. In Hong Kong, we have been following
the UK standards but engineers have also
kept track of the changes in standards in
US and some other European countries.
However, owing to the lack of local
research and development support and
most importantly, financial constraint,
Hong Kong has been observing these
updates in design standards very
prudently. Noticeable upgrading of design
standards is only realized as exceptions
rather than the rule.
7. Although there is an obvious need for
regular assessment of road pavement
defects owing to changes of traffic
loading, moisture attack and temperature
induced damage, the Highways
Department can only afford to carry out a
comprehensive road defects survey every
10 years and there seems to be little
resources to follow up with the survey
results such as research support and
development of programmes for
improvement of road designs.
8. Responding to persistent complaints of
confused road signage, the Transport
Department conducted a thorough
territory wide survey on road signage a
few years back and recently formulated an
improvement program. The program has
yet to be implemented.
9. Regarding the design of the parapets
which the media has focused on at the
Tuen Mun Road Incident, it is again a
matter that warrants attention but
unfortunately was not yet addressed
before the disastrous happening. The
design of the parapet is indeed in line
with international standards, which
basically is the UK standard. The purpose
of the highway parapets, as stated in the
relevant specification, is to contain the
vehicle within the highway. Now that a
bus has crashed through the parapet and
fallen over the road, it is obvious that the
parapet has not served its function to
contain the vehicle at this highly
hazardous spot.
10. A bridge parapet design with higher
containment is indeed available in the
specification. Had the higher
containment parapet been in place, the
outcome of this accident would certainly
be much less tragic. The specification
states the parapet design with higher
containment should only be considered
for high-risk spots such as bridges over
railway lines. However, it is up to the
judgement of the responsible engineer
to define which are high-risk spots.
This should certainly be a point to be
addressed when the relevant
specifications are reviewed.
11. To assist the review of high-risk spots,
an extensive road survey and
consultation with stakeholders should
be considered. At this moment of time,
it is certainly crucial to identify these
locations and formulate an
improvement strategy in order to
prevent similar disastrous accidents.
Among other issues, the survey should
examine whether the road designs
including the traffic measures at
individual locations are capable of
coping with the risks arising from the
improved mechanical powers of the
vehicles and the changes in the traffic
mix in particular the increase in the
proportion of heavy vehicles. In the
process, reference should be made to
the accident trends in particular the
number and severity of accidents to
ascertain the situation. Whether
upgrading the parapets with high
containment type as an improvement is
a matter for further investigation. There
are probably other options as well.
12. Admittedly, the upgrading of our
highways to the highest standard
requires enormous resources and is very
unlikely to be achieved in one go. As a
start, the Administration should
prioritize, based on the level of risk, the
cost-and-benefit of the improvement
measures and other considerations, to
address the most critical road sections.
In the long run, the Administration
should draw up a programme to
implement improvement measures to
our highways on a planned and
progressive basis. As highway safety is a
matter of public interest, the
Administration should publicize the
outcomes of the review, consult the
public about the proposed improvement
measures, the programme of works and
keep the public informed of progress.
Any members who would like to express
and exchange their views on any
transport or logistics related issues, you
are encouraged to post your messages at the
“Chat Forum” of the Institute’s website
www.cilt.org.hk for discussion.

Mainland Exchange
Visit to Guangdong 27-29 July by a Delegation of
Professional Associations in Hong Kong
(By S.F. Ho, the Chairman of Education & Training Committee)
The Chairman of the Education & Training
Committee represented the Institute in the
delegation organized by the Hong Kong
College of Technology with the assistance of
the Liaison Office of the Central People’s
Government in the HKSAR. The 14-member
delegation was lead by Ms. Priscilla Lau Puiking,
a representative of the National
People’s Congress of PRC and Associate
Professor and Associate Head of Department
of Business Studies of the Hong Kong PolyU,
and consisted of representatives from the
following organizations:
• Liaison office of the Central People’s
Government in the HKSAR
• Hong Kong College of Technology
• The Chartered Institute of Logistics and
Transport in Hong Kong
• The Institution of Incorporated Engineers
• Hong Kong Logistics Association
• British Institute of Architectural
Technologists Hong Kong Centre
• Institute of Clerks of Works of Great
Britain Inc. Hong Kong Branch
• The Institute of Textile and Clothing
On the morning of 27th, the delegates
assembled at Kowloon Tong to board a
coach and crossed the border via Man
Kam To. They firstly visited at the Pazhou
International Exhibition and Conference
Centre which is to be officially opened in
October 2003 for the bi-annual Chinese
Export Commodities Fair (Canton Fair).
The Fair accounts for about 1/3 of the
China’s general export volume every year.
It has been honoured as “the barometer
of China’s foreign trade”. The Service
Manager of the Centre’s management
company, Ms. CL Huang, greeted
us warmly at the entrance and
showed us around the premises
which possess 700,000 m²
totally. The Centre has 16
exhibition halls in 4 levels with net
exhibition area reaches 300,000
m². High-tech facilities such as a
“breathing roof” which is designed
to exchange air automatically have
been introduced to the exhibition halls.
The morning’s tour at the Centre ended with
a visit to the exhibition of the 1st Phase
Design Plans of the Guangzhou University
City. Plans and artist impressions of ten new
universities specializing in Chinese Medical,
Music, Design, Engineering, Agriculture,
Education, Languages to be built in the
University City were displayed.
In the afternoon, we visited the Guangzhou
New Baiyun International Airport which is
still under construction and planned to be
completed in 2005. The new airport is
located at the junction of the North Renhe
County of Baiyun District and the East
Xinhua County of Huadu, 28 kilometers
away from downtown Guangzhou, and 17
kilometers from the current 53 years old
Baiyun International Airport. Mr. HB Wang
of the administrative office of the GZBY
International Airport Relocation Project
Headquarters gave a very comprehensive
description of the layout of the airport with
the aid of models. The new airport is
designed with three runways to handle 80
million passengers and 2.5 million tons of
cargo a year, but only two runways will be
constructed during the initial phase. The first
phase of the project also includes the
construction of a 300,000m² central
passenger terminal complex with parking
standings and associated roadways and
supporting facilities. Land is also
reserved for the fourth runway.
After Mr. Wang’s presentation, we were
then led to tour the passenger terminal
complex which was a very impressive
building and was still under construction.
The terminal complex is a huge steel
structure in the form of a smooth gentle
arch with full height glazed curtain wall and
tensioned fabric stretched from east to the
west over the middle of the metal roof.
The visit in the morning of 28 th started with
the Guangdong Provincial Department of
Labour and Social Security. We were well
received by the Department’s Director Mr.
Fang Chaogui, Deputy Director of the
Division of Training and Employment Mr. Ge
Guoxing, Director of Occupational Skill
Testing Authority of Guangdong Mr. Zhou
Guotian and Director of Guangdong Labour
& Employment Service and Administration
Centre Mr. Wang Guanyu. After over an
hour’s fruitful discussion with Director Fang
and his colleagues, we headed off to visit
the Department of Personnel of Guangdong
Province Guangzhou.
The Department’s Vice Director Mr. He
Ganzin and the Vice Director of Guangdong
Administration of Foreign Expert Affairs Mr.
Zhong Minyan briefed us about the current
situation of Guangdong’s skilled workforce
and qualifications assessment practices.
Guangdong has 3.4 million skilled workers
and is ranked third in the country in terms of
number of skilled workers per ten thousand

CILTHK Newsletter issue 14 05
populations. One hundred thousand
workers, mainly supervisory staff, are from
Hong Kong and about 17 thousand of
them are permanently stationed in the
province.
Visits to the Guangzhou Association for
Science and Technology and the Construction
Commission of Guangzhou Municipality were
arranged for the afternoon. At the
Guangzhou Association of Science and
Technology, the Vice Chairman Mr. Li Sanjian
and his colleague from the Department of
International Affairs and the Deputy Head of
the College of Science & Trade, Guangzhou
University Dr. Li Jihai gave us a useful briefing
on the operation of the Association. We
were convinced that professional institutions
in Hong Kong are welcome to engage in
cooperative arrangement with the
Association in the establishment of relevant
professional qualification assessment
partnerships. At the Construction
Commission of Guangzhou Municipality, we
were greeted by the Vice Director Mr. Lu
Yuan and his colleagues and Ms. Cui
Danqing, the Director of Protocol Division of
Foreign Affairs. Mr. Lu shared with us the
very ambitious plan of the Commission in
developing Guangzhou into an economic
centre as well as a garden and cultural city.
In the morning of 29 th , the delegation visited
the Guangzhou Harbour Bureau at the
Huangpu Terminal. The Deputy Director of
the Bureau Mr. Su Xingwang briefed us with
the aid of a video presentation the
development of the port of Guangzhou
which consists of Humen Outer Harbour,
Xinsha Terminal, Huangpu Terminal and
Guangzhou Inner Harbour. After the
presentation, we were driven to the Xinsha
Terminal to meet the General Manager Mr.
Huang Yong. Mr. Huang showed us around
the different terminal berths for handling
coal, containers, general operation, bulk
chemical fertilizer, bulk grain and general
cargo.
In the afternoon, we visited the Sun Yat-sen
University which was also the final activity of
the exchange visit before we took a through
train to return to Hong Kong. The Deputy
Director of the Office of International
Cooperation & Exchange Mr. Kiu Chunyang
and Professor TC Chen of School of Public
Affairs and Management met us and shared
with us their views on how professional
institutions can partner with the University to
offer training programmes in Hong Kong or
in Guangzhou. The visit ended with a brief
walk of the garden and a group photo in
front of the motto of the University.
The three days exchange visit was highly
successful. It allowed members of the
delegation to have a better understanding of
the workforce resources and qualifications
structure of Guangdong as well as the
transport and logistics development of
Guangzhou.
Visit to West Rail
West Rail is a 30.5km dedicated twintrack
passenger railway with nine
stations linking Sham Shui Po in West
Kowloon with Tuen Mun in the North
West New Territories. It will be the most
environmentally-friendly railway in Hong
Kong once opened.
With the support from KCRC, a pre-visit
to the West Rail was held on August 16
with 40 participants. In view of
members’ overwhelming response to the
visit, the quota of participants was
increased from 30 to 40. But, we were
still unable to satisfy the numerous
registrations of more than 100. The
Committee sends its apologies for any
disappointment caused to those
interested members who failed to
register.
The visit commenced from Nam Cheong
Station at 0930 hrs. Nam Cheong Station
is at the south terminus of West Rail and is
an important interchange station with MTR
Tung Chung line. Following this, we went
to Kam Sheung Road Station by coach.
This station, which is above ground on
viaduct, with the concourse at grade and
the platform at viaduct level, as we
believed would become a new landmark in
the Kam Tin Valley in the short future. The
tour also led us to visit the Operations
Control Centre and Pat Heung
Maintenance Centre, the largest train
depot in Hong Kong, to see how they
operate. They are equipped with the most
up-to-dated facilities and with noise
barriers having been installed so as to
avoid any disturbances caused towards
the nearby residents. Although the trip
was pretty tiring lasting for around three
hours, we greatly enjoyed it and were
delighted to have the opportunity to visit
the newest railway system in our
territory.
West Rail is scheduled to go into service
toward the end of 2003 and we strongly
believed that it will bring immense benefits
to the people of Hong Kong.
