Hong Kong – Western Harbour Crossing Hong Kong – Western Harbour Crossing Preliminary Findings from HLR Interviews Frederik Pretorius, Rachel Ng, Billy Kwan The University of Hong Kong April 2009 Hong Kong: WHC – A Reminder • Proposed early 1990s, in the last few years of colonial government in HK pending return to PRC sovereignty in 1997. • Originally proposed as a stand-alone project, later identified as one of the 10 infrastructure project in the Airport Core Program (ACP) • 2 km dual three-lane immersed tube road tunnel, developed as a privatised tolled tunnel (BOT), controlled by Citic Pacific (also controls Eastern Harbour Tunnel, with Cross-Harbour Tunnel controlled by the HKSAR Government) • Part of HK’s “Strategic Road Network” (see next slide). Hong Kong: WHC – A Reminder • Hong Kong has an “executive-led government” (before and after 1997), tempered in an important way by the (partly representative) Legislative Council – FINANCING. • As a standalone BOT, WHC’s rights are contained in law, with its own Ordinance, containing a generous “toll adjustment mechanism”, ensuring beneficial toll adjustment flexibility. • WHC has underperformed since its opening, carrying around half its capacity and only turning an operating profit ten years after opening (1997). • Very important external shocks: Asian Financial Crisis (1997-1999) and SARS crisis (2003). HKSAR Government’s budgetary crisis, 1999-2004,5. WHC: Major Road Network in HK HK Western Harbour Crossing Connects western part of HK Island with West Kowloon Aerial View of WHC Overarching Questions - Q1: Project Success • Depends on definition of ‘success’ • Generic Criteria: - Meet objectives - Beneficial to & acceptable by the public - Clear “demand/necessity” for the MUTP - Affordable to & Accessible by the public - Accountability - Economically sustainable (“financial”) • WHC is successful in terms of: - Meeting its main objectives (strategic link: airport and network) - Congestion: alternative is/was the ‘do-nothing’ scenario, traffic congestion would be worse • WHC is not successful in terms of: - Financial feasibility (BOT), toll levels, competition between tunnels - Its potential to facilitate urban development is/was not (fully?) utilised - Reducing traffic congestion Overarching Questions - Q2: Project Appraisal and Evaluation The Most Important Appraisal and Evaluation WHC Criteria for a MUTP: Meeting objectives ü “Correct” traffic forecasts û Difference between having & not having the MUTP ü Environmental & social impacts ? Engineering/technical feasibility ü Financial viability û Sustainable development concerns ? Operational mechanisms (BOT & TAM) û Overarching Questions - Q3: Main ‘Sustainability’ Considerations • Sustainability important? YES! Sustainability considerations should play a major role in MUTPs • The term ‘sustainability’ was not used at the planning stage of WHC, but the principle was not ignored • The government did consider environmental, social and economic impacts of WHC, but not within today’s context of more comprehensive impact assessment • Public participation/involvement was absent Overarching Questions - Q4: Project Decision-making Process: Important Actors and Factors THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF 1997: THE POLITICAL DIMENSION • Actors: - Government (both British Colonial & Chinese) - Legislators - The community - The operator of the MUTP • Factors: - The need for the MUTP – airport rail link and traffic congestion (public interest) - Power of the executive-led government - Public engagement - Competition – or lack of it Overarching Questions - Q5: Sources of Project Risk, Uncertainty & Complexity • Risk: - Traffic forecast (and all sorts of projections) - Financial risk - Political risk • Uncertainty: - Everything had an element of uncertainty about the future: e.g. the overall economy, the company’s profile, traffic flow, progress of other associated projects • Complexity: - Competition among the 3 cross-harbour tunnels - Integration with other infrastructure Overarching Questions - Q6: Important/influential aspects of Project Context • Generically important: political context and public participation/acceptance of process • For WHC: political context of HK - the use of public funds - obtaining consensus about the necessity for a MUTP - change of policy following transitional period was certainly not adequately considered • Influence of the Mega-event: transfer of sovereignty over HK back to PRC in 1997 drove everything Hypothesis 1: Privatisation at all costs • The economic rationale for WHC was driven by a narrow adherence to "New Public Sector Management" principles, with private sector provision of public infrastructure (with supporting planning, appraisal and financing mechanisms in government). Hypothesis 1: Findings • Nothing wrong with BOT because: - Fair: ‘users-pay’s’ principle - Functions to minimise the government’s financial burden - HK’s government encourages competition and market- driven development • Economic/financial risk transferred to private sector – and political development since then? (See Hypothesis 3). - Private Sector took the risk, and has to bear it; but some considered the risk to have been transferred in the opposite direction (expectation of a “buy-back”). • ∴ Projects should be privatised if possible but not at all cost Hypothesis 2: WHC A product of a compartmentalised government • WHC is not successful because the Government failed to plan and develop transport infrastructure and land uses strategically and in an integrated fashion; nor did the Government consider sustainability issues in planning this infrastructure investment. Hypothesis 2: Findings • Values of the society & the environment of HK changed over time - There was comprehensive planning of the strategic transportation network, but social and political values changed when it came to the implementation stage (see Hypothesis 3). • Sustainable development concerns and urban regeneration could have been, but were not considered a priority at the WHC planning stage Hypothesis 3: WHC - “Victim” of a politicizing society & challenges to government-led planning & development • The WHC project outcomes can be best explained by the social, economic, political and institutional forces and influences that were at work in HK pre-1997 at the time of planning and developing WHC, and how that context rapidly changed (and continues to change) to a set of circumstances reflecting more active community engagement in developmental issues and which is mounting significant challenges to the institution of “executive-led governance”. Hypothesis 3: Findings Pre-1997 era Post-1997 era Public Economic prosperity SD, political/civil rights, concerns cultural, conservation Decision- Same procedures, same decision-making making actors, same set of powers process Shorter period Longer period Public Less More involvement Impact More detailed and in Less detailed assessment wider perspective NOTE: This does not necessarily suggest the pre-1997 era government worked less effectively than the post-1997 era government The Four Tests – Test 1 Analysis of achievements of project against objectives • Objectives of WHC: – Alleviate traffic congestion – Divert traffic from the other 2 tunnels – Direct link to the airport • Project Time • Project Budget • Forecasts (finance + traffic flow) The Four Tests – Test 2 Analysis of achievements of project against identified visions, challenges & issues of sustainable development • Any contributions to SD in terms of: - economic - environmental - social - institutional The Four Tests – Test 3 Analysis of achievements of project against successful treatment of risk, uncertainty, complexity & context in decision-making • Identify RUC and Context of WHC • Treatment of RUC in WHC? • Are lessons learned in WHC generic or context- specific?

JUSTIFICATIONS 2. At present, a motorist using a government tolled tunnel 1 or Tsing Sha Control Area (“TSCA”) (hereafter collectively referred to as “Tolled Tunnels”) may stop at a toll booth to pay the toll manually by tendering cash or prepaid toll tickets to a toll collector, or using the “stop-and-go” electronic payment facilities installed thereat. Alternatively, a motorist who drives a vehicle with an Autotoll tag issued by the Autotoll Limited (a private company) may pass through an Autotoll booth without stopping, with the toll payable deducted from a prepaid account. 3. The Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint published in December 2017 promulgated, among others, the development of toll tag (previously known as “in- vehicle unit”) for allowing motorists to pay tunnel tolls by remote means through an automatic tolling system, namely the “free-flow tolling system” (“FFTS”). In the Smart City Blueprint 2.0 published in December 2020, one of the Smart Mobility 1 Covering Cross-Harbour Tunnel, Eastern Harbour Crossing (“EHC”), Lion Rock Tunnel, Shing Mun Tunnels, Aberdeen Tunnel, Tate’s Cairn Tunnel and will cover the two Build-Operate- Transfer (“BOT”) tunnels, viz.

  • MTR Penny's Bay Rail Link
    File Ref: ETWB(T) CR 3/5/511/98 Pt.4 Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on matters relating to the implementation of railway development projects MTR Penny’s Bay Rail Link – Project Agreement INTRODUCTON At the special meeting of this subcommittee held on 22 July 2002, Members requested MTR Corporation Limited (MTRCL) to provide additional information on the fare level of PBRL rail service, and the estimated additional revenue induced by the Penny's Bay Rail Link (PBRL) to the rest of the MTR network. A letter dated 24 July 2002 from the Project Director of the MTRCL to the Acting Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works is attached at the Annex. PROJECTED CAPITAL COST OF THE PBRL 2. The capital cost is estimated to be $2 Billion. This represents a 23% reduction from the original capital cost estimate of $2.6 Billion. As we have informed this Subcommittee earlier, the estimate has taken into account the current economic situation, the recent deflationary trend, various cost-saving measures initiated by MTRCL and we believe that it is a realistic estimate of the construction cost. - 2 - 3. The construction costs of different railway projects are subject to various varying factors such as length, design, physical constraints etc, and are therefore not completely comparable. Nevertheless, a comparison between the PBRL and Tseung Kwan O Extension shows that the PBRL cost estimate is within reasonable range, bearing in mind that the design, construction and material used in the PBRL project must be commensurate with the standards of the Hong Kong Disneyland : Comparison between Tseung Kwan O Extension (TKO) and Penny’s Bay Rail Link (PBRL) TKO Extension PBRL Length 12.5 km 3.5 km Number of 5 2 stations $18 Billion $2 Billion Cost ESTIMATED INTERNAL RATE OF RETURN 4.

  • Some Aspects of the Ppp Approach to Transport Infrastructure Development in Hong Kong
    SOME ASPECTS OF THE PPP APPROACH TO TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN HONG KONG Mak, C.K. and Mo, S. Highways Department, Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Hong Kong, People's Republic of China. Abstract This paper discusses Hong Kong’s experience in the delivery of transport infrastructure projects with particular emphasis on the use of non-government funds. It also discusses the increasing role of the private sector in highway maintenance. Keywords: PPP, BOT, BOO, railway, highway, Hong Kong 1. Introduction With over 1900 km of public roads and freeways, and a railway network of some 200 km, Hong Kong has one of the most effective transport infrastructure systems amongst major cities in the world. Hong Kong embarked on a major expansion of her railway network in the last twenty years. The new railway lines were built, owned, operated and managed by two railway corporations with the Hong Kong Government as the major/sole shareholder. These two corporations operate according to prudent commercial principles. With revenue from fares, and income from commercial and property development, the railway projects are basically financially viable projects. In 2004, the railway system carried an average daily patronage of about 3.2 million, which was 30% of the total daily domestic public transport trips and 70% of the land-based cross-boundary passenger travel. Whilst Hong Kong’s highway network is predominantly built by public funding using the conventional re-measurement form of contract, the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) approach was adopted in the construction of Hong Kong’s first cross harbour tunnel as early as 1969.

  • Regional and Hong Kong's Transport Network Planning Framework
    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper on the results of studies or surveys from government land private sectors that are pertinent to the subject on Regional and Hong Kong's Transport Network Planning Framework. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not imply endorsement of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER NO. 21 REGIONAL AND HONG KONG'S TRANSPORT NETWORK PLANNING FRAMEWORK Introduction 1. Railways and expressways are the main arteries of cities. They are the backbones to facilitate movements of goods and people. The prosperity and growth of a city depend very much on the efficient operation and development of its circulation systems. 2. This paper gives an overview of the existing and future strategic transport network in particular road and railway infrastructure in the Guangdong Province of the Mainland China 1. It also examines the present and future development of our Hong Kong's transport network in order to set the basic framework for planning an integrated transport system in the next stage of the study. Regional Transport Network I. Guangdong Province A. Road Infrastructure Exisitng Road Infrastrucutre 3. To accelerate the modernisation of transportation in China, in the early 1990s, the Ministry of Transportation put forward a strategic and ambitious distribution plan for the national trunk road system. Highways in China can be classified into 6 technical categories. They are expressway, Class I to IV Highways and others. According to the Guangdong Statistical Bureau (Table 1), there were a total of about 95,610km of roads covering the Guangdong Province in 1999, of which 953 km (1%) were expressway and 17,199km (18%) were Classes I and II highways.

  • LCQ4: Automatic Toll Collection System of Tolled Tunnels and Roads *************************************************
    LCQ4: Automatic toll collection system of tolled tunnels and roads ************************************************* Following is a question by the Hon Chan Kam-lam and a reply by the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Ms Eva Cheng, at the Legislative Council meeting today (June 29): Question: According to the information of the Transport Department, the overall utilisation rate in February 2011 of the Autotoll toll collection system (Autotoll) at tolled tunnels and roads was only 47%, and that the Autotoll utilisation rate at the Cross Harbour Tunnel in Hung Hom was only 39%. Quite a number of drivers have reflected that owing to insufficient provision of Autotoll lanes at the cross harbour tunnels, there are often long vehicle queues and some drivers who have already opened an account with Autotoll are therefore forced to give up using such lanes and switch to using manual toll booths where the queues are shorter, and thus the automatic toll collection system at the tunnels fails to achieve the effect of easing traffic flow. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (a) whether the authorities have conducted a review on the aforesaid situation, including re-assessing the number of Autotoll lanes available at various tunnels; if they have, of the situation; (b) whether the authorities have conducted a study on how to facilitate the enhancement of the Autotoll utilisation rate so that the automatic toll collection system can achieve a greater effect in easing traffic flow; and (c) given the serious traffic congestion

This tunnel, the Western Harbour Crossing crosses Victoria Harbour at the West Kowloon reclamation. The tunnel alignment has a total length of 2750 m. At Kowloon the tunnel starts with a 650 m long approach, followed by 1290 m long immersed tunnel elements and at Hong Kong Island a 810 m long approach with an interchange. The Kowloon approach will be an in situ built cut and cover tunnel in the new reclamation. At Hong Kong Island the approach is built as a top down structure with diaphragm walls reaching 50 m deep onto the bedrock. The interchange is needed due to the limited area available. The Western Harbour Crossing will be a privately financed BOT project. The Cross Harbour Tunnel Co. Ltd. was one of the competing franchises for this project. Together with Mott Connell Hong Kong TEC was invited to prepare a tender design for this tunnel project.
