Today, with its sophisticated infra- structure, superb transport network and business-friendly envi- Hronment, it is one of the world’s busiest ports and a major maritime centre. We are pleased to see that container throughput at the Port of Hong Kong recorded double-digit growth in the first half of 2010, signalling the begin- ning of a recovery path. The total gross tonnage of ships on the Hong Kong Shipping Register amounted to 54.6 million at the end of October, making us the 5th largest Register in the world. About 700 shipping-related companies call Hong Kong home. From here, a comprehensive range of high quality maritime services in, notably, ship management, ship finance, shipbroking, ship surveying, maritime legal services and arbitration, marine insurance and other supporting services, are provided to ships calling at our port as well as the shipping community worldwide. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government has fos- tered close partnerships with the port and shipping sectors to strengthen Hong Kong’s position as a leading hub port and enhance our competitive- ness as a prominent maritime centre. Our success depends upon our abil- ity to provide ever-improving services to the global shipping community. This handbook introduces you to the wide variety of companies and activities that constitute the Port of Hong Kong. I am sure you will find it a most useful and practical guide to our port and maritime services. Eva Cheng Secretary for Transport and Housing 2 • Port of Hong Kong Handbook 2010 HK Directory 2010 FINAL.indd 2 10/12/2010 6:36 PM WeLCome messAge The port keeping its competitiveness here is a Chinese proverb “創業難，守業更難。” which means keeping a business running is more challenging than establishing it. The saying is an apt description of the shipping industry in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has long been renowned as a shipping centre. ItsT sheltered harbour is a valuable asset. The city’s immediate catchment area for goods is the huge hinterland in South China. Quality shipping services together with highly developed infrastructure have been providing Hong Kong with both software and hardware necessary for the world’s top shipping firms. Following recent fluctuations in the global trade market, sentiments remain diversified and the pace of recovery remains unclear. However, the Port of Hong Kong aims to maintain its competitiveness. On the government side, the Marine Department endeavours to keep the costs of its services as competitive as possible. Reductions in fees of 27 marine-related services benefit all vessels entering Hong Kong waters and owners of ships registered here. In addition, waiving some charges related to the employment, registration and certification of seafarers effectively lowers the costs for the players in the industry. In response to industrial trends towards ultra-large containerships, the Marine Department is working with the Civil Engineering and Development Department on a project to increase the water depth for Kwai Tsing Container Basin and its approach channel. In short, we will continue to improve our services as technology advances and trading develops. This Port Handbook keeps you abreast of the latest development of the Port of Hong Kong – a port keeping its competitiveness.

Harbour Business Forum On-Site Liaison: Paul Zimmerman, Convener of Designing Hong Kong Harbour District Submitted by: Brian Berard Eric Rosendahl Jarrad Fallon Lucas Scotta Santiago Lora Alexander Wong Alexander Muir Becky Yang Submitted to: Project Advisor: Creighton Peet, WPI Professor Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, WPI Assistant Professor Project Co-advisor: Kent Rissmiller, WPI Professor Abstract Victoria Harbour is one of Hong Kong‟s greatest assets; however, the balance between recreational and commercial uses of the harbour favours commercial uses. Our report, prepared for Designing Hong Kong Ltd., examines this imbalance from the marine perspective. We audited the 50km of waterfront twice and conducted interviews with major stakeholders to assess necessary improvements to land/water interfaces and to provide recommendations on improvements to the land/water interfaces with the goal of making Victoria Harbour a truly “living” harbour. ii Acknowledgements Our team would like to thank the many people that helped us over the course of this project. First, we would like to thank our sponsor, Paul Zimmerman, for his help and dedication throughout our project and for providing all of the resources and contacts that we required.

    Waterborne Transport Services in Selected Places Research Office Legislative Council Secretariat

    Information Note Waterborne transport services in Research Office selected places Legislative Council Secretariat IN11/18-19 1. Introduction 1.1 In Hong Kong, waterborne transport services, including regular passenger ferry services, regular or on-demand "kaito" ferry services and harbour tour services have been serving the commuting and recreational needs of local residents, as well as the tourist demand. For regular passenger ferry services, the in-harbour ferry services serve as a supplementary transport mode to land-based harbour-crossing services while outlying island ferry services are essential transport services connecting the outlying islands with other parts of Hong Kong. Nonetheless, there have been views in the community that the Government should explore the provision of more in-harbour ferry routes and other service models (such as water bus or water taxi service) to supplement the already congested land-based transportation networks, as well as connecting major tourist attractions along the harbourfront. 1.2 In the past decade, London of the United Kingdom ("UK") and New York City ("NYC") of the United States have revived the waterborne transport services as part of their strategy to enhance the vibrancy of the waterfront/waterways and promote its usage for transportation purposes. Both places have developed and implemented a policy to promote the development and usage of waterborne transport services, leading to enhancement/expansion of the service network and increase in ridership. 1.3 At the request of Hon Jeremy TAM Man-ho, the Research Office has prepared this information note aiming to examine (a) the policy on the development of waterborne transport services for local commuters in selected places; (b) their service and operation features, connection with other transport systems and passengers' usage patterns, and (c) their implementation experiences, as well as the latest development.
