 Hong
Kong set a new world record in container throughput in 2002 by handling 19
million TEUs (20-ft equivalent units), making it once again the world’s
business container port.
Speaking at the Terminal Operations Conference (TOC) 2003 Asia on February
25, the HKSAR’s Secretary for Economic Development and Labour, Mr Stephen Ip,
reported that this figure “represents a 6.6% increase over 2001, and
confirms Hong Kong’s position as the world’s busiest container port for 9 of
the past 10 years.”
A new study, Hong Kong Port: Master Plan 2020, has been commissioned to
formulate a competitive strategy for the next 2 decades and beyond. Hong
Kong continues to work closely with its hinterland, the Pearl River Delta,
to smooth the flow of people, goods, cargo and information in order to
reinforce Hong Kong’s status as the preferred international logistics hub in
Asia.
TOC 2003 Asia was organized by the Informa Group and supported by the Hong
Kong Port and Maritime Board. The conference brings together senior
port/shipping executives and leading industry analysts to explore emerging
market trends, business development strategy and best practices of port and
maritime operations.
