Hong Kong attracts the flow of cargo with its free port status, efficient and Stransparent customs procedures, high frequency of sailings, multi-modal transport system, and unrivalled connectivity with Mainland China and the rest of the world via sea, land and air links. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is committed to maintaining the competitiveness of the port by keeping its infrastructure and support services in tandem with growing demand. In this connection, we are making available more port back-up land and deepening the container port basin and its approach channels so as to allow ultra-large container vessels to come and go at all tides. A combination of significant institutional strengths, such as the rule of law, the common law system, a simple and low tax regime, and the free flow of capital and information, have enabled Hong Kong to thrive as an international maritime centre, a position which we will consolidate and enhance through the training of more talents for professional maritime services. Shipping companies registered in Hong Kong own and manage 10 per cent of the world’s merchant fleet in terms of deadweight tonnage. There are about 700 shipping- related companies in Hong Kong, offering a wide range of services like shipping agency, ship management, ship owning and operations, shipbroking and marine insurance. The business portfolios of many other companies cover ship finance, legal services and arbitration. This Handbook is both a practical guide to our port and maritime services, and an informative read for anyone interested in Hong Kong’s maritime industry. Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung Secretary for Transport and Housing The Port of Hong Kong Handbook & Directory 2013 3 >>>Welcome message Moving full ahead with our edge ong Kong is one of the biggest and busiest ports in the world. Our shipping industry has a long history and occupies a very important position interna- tionally. Leading and renowned classification societies have all set up offices here. Our fast-growing register is well-known to the shipping community Hworldwide for its quality. To maintain the responsiveness of our port to the ever-developing global maritime scene and, hence, its competitiveness, we make it an imperative to enhance our services and infra- structure. Our Electronic Business System (eBS) offers shipping companies the efficiency and convenience of handling various port formalities and other shipping-related documents online round the clock. Port fees and charges are regularly reviewed to identify room for reduction. The Kai Tak Cruise Terminal started receiving some of the world’s largest cruise vessels this year. We are also planning to replace and upgrade our existing Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) system with the use of state-of-the-art technology to cope with traffic growth and to meet the evolving international standards of VTS equipment. Against the busy backdrop of our port, we are dedicated to maintaining the safety of vessel movements through close co-operation with responsible players in the industry and partnership with them to formulate new initiatives for the continuous improvement of ma- rine traffic and the enhancement of the competitiveness of the Port of Hong Kong. This handbook is packed with information about the broad range of services and facili- ties available to maritime businesses and professionals in this dynamic port city. Readers will find useful information at their fingertips.

  • Guide to Shipping Register and Shipping Tax Regime in Hong Kong Contents
    Guide to Shipping Register and Shipping Tax Regime in Hong Kong Contents The Hong Kong Shipping Register 1 Taxation of Shipping Profits in Hong Kong 8 Schedule 12 The Hong Kong Shipping Register Until 3 December 1990, the United Kingdom Merchant Shipping Acts (the “Acts”) (except for the Merchant Shipping Act 1988) applied to registration of ships and to mortgages of ships in Hong Kong. A ship registered at the Port of Hong Kong was, therefore, a British ship. Hong Kong reverted to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997 and became a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China. Section VIII of Annex I to the Sino- British Joint Declaration which relates to the transfer of sovereignty states that: “The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall maintain Hong Kong’s previous systems of shipping management and shipping regulation, including the system for regulating conditions of seamen. The specific functions and responsibilities of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government in the field of shipping shall be defined by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government on its own. Private shipping businesses and shipping-related businesses and private container terminals in Hong Kong may continue to operate freely. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region shall be authorised by the Central People’s Government to continue to maintain a shipping register and issue related certificates under its own legislation in the name of ‘Hong Kong, China’.” The Hong Kong Government appointed a Steering Committee in 1987 to advise the Government on the establishment of an independent shipping registry. The result was enacted as the Merchant Shipping (Registration) Ordinance (Cap 415) (the “Ordinance”), which came into effect on 3 December 1990.

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.
