    File Ref.: MA 60/1(2002) Pt.4 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF

    File Ref.: MA 60/1(2002) Pt.4 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL BRIEF SHIPPING AND PORT CONTROL (AMENDMENT) REGULATION 2002 INTRODUCTION At the meeting of the Executive Council on 25 June 2002, the Council ADVISED and the Chief Executive ORDERED that the A Shipping and Port Control (Amendment) Regulation 2002, at Annex A, should be made under section 80(1) of the Shipping and Port Control Ordinance to impose a designated area in the Kap Shui Mun water area and require all vessels to tender pre-arrival notification (PAN). BACKGROUND AND ARGUMENT Imposing a Special Area in the Kap Shui Mun area 2. At present, through traffic to and from the northwestern approaches of Hong Kong waters are free to be conducted in either the Kap Shui Mun Fairway or Ma Wan Fairway. Such traffic can be both southeast-bound and northwest-bound. The average navigational width of the Kap Shui Mun Fairway and Ma Wan Fairway are 210 metres and 680 metres respectively. 3. In view of the collision incidents that happened in the Kap Shui Mun area, Marine Department conducted an in-house study in the year 2000 on the traffic using the area with a view to developing measures to improve navigational safety there. The study recommends, inter alia, that a single direction traffic scheme should be introduced to the Kap Shui Mun area. Under the scheme, through traffic in the northern part of the much narrower Kap Shui Mun Fairway should be limited to southeast-bound only. The two-way bound traffic arrangement in both the southern part of the Kap Shui Mun Fairway and the entire Ma Wan Fairway can remain unchanged.

    Paper on the Operational Arrangements for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Hong Kong

    立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(4)1072/17-18(04) Ref. : CB4/PL/TP Panel on Transport Meeting on 18 May 2018 Background brief on the operational arrangements for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Hong Kong Port Purpose This paper provides background information on the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge ("HZMB") project and related Hong Kong projects. It also summarizes the major views and concerns expressed by Legislative Council ("LegCo") Members on the traffic and transport arrangements and related operational issues of HZMB upon its commissioning in past discussions. Background Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and related Hong Kong projects 2. HZMB is a dual three-lane carriageway in the form of bridge-cum-tunnel structure sea-crossing, linking Hong Kong, Zhuhai and Macao. The project is a major cross-boundary transport infrastructure project. According to the Administration, the construction of HZMB will significantly reduce transportation costs and time for travellers and goods on roads. It has very important strategic value in terms of further enhancement of the economic development between Hong Kong, the Mainland and Macao. 3. With the connection by HZMB, the Western Pearl River Delta will fall within a reachable three-hour commuting radius of Hong Kong. The entire HZMB project consists of two parts: - 2 - (a) the HZMB Main Bridge (i.e. a 22.9 km-long bridge and 6.7 km-long subsea tunnel) situated in Mainland waters which is being taken forward by the HZMB Authority1; and (b) the link roads and boundary crossing facilities under the responsibility of the governments of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao ("the three governments").

    WORKING PAPER No. 39 INITIAL ASSESSMENT of POSSIBLE PORT DEVELOPMENT SITES

    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. 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 necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER No. 39 INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF POSSIBLE PORT DEVELOPMENT SITES Background 1. The port is a vital economic infrastructure of Hong Kong. As a result of rapid economic growth in Southern China and Mainland’s accession to the World Trade Organization, the Port Development Strategy Review (PDSR) 2001 recommended that the existing container terminals may not have sufficient capacity to meet long-term need and the next container terminal would be required in early next decade1. 2. In planning for the future port development, our objective is to formulate a sustainable port development strategy which will take into account both the economic needs for further port facilities and the possible measures to mitigate the existing and new environmental problems. As for future port location, four potential sites for future container port development were shortlisted by PDSR 2001 for further investigation, namely West Tuen Mun, East Lantau, Northwest Lantau and Southwest Tsing Yi. To finalise the best site for future container port development, the sites are now being further investigated under the Study on Hong Kong Port- Master Plan 2020 (HKP2020) to be completed in early 2004. In view of the proximity of the East Lantau site to the Disney Development, this site has not been selected for further detailed assessment.

    Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W

    Transactions on the Built Environment vol 33, © 1998 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 Development of Tung Chung New Town in Hong Kong H. Wang, W. Wong Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Horn, Kowloon, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected]. hk Abstract Hong Kong's new airport at Chek Lap Kok is scheduled to open on July 6, 1998. At present, construction of all major projects is either at the last stage or in completion. Tung Chung New Town, one of the Airport Core Programme (ACP), has been initially set up for housing 216,000 people by 2006 and providing living area for servicing staff of the new airport. Based on the case study on the development of Tung Chung New Town, this paper illustrates the relationship between transport system and land use development. In the paper, referring to many survey data and research results, the development of Tung Chung New Town is shown to be essential due to the relocation of the Hong Kong Airport. On the other hand, comparing with other new towns in Hong Kong, Tung Chung New Town is provided with better transport system links that minimize the travel time and improve the comfort and accessibility to other parts of the territory. This makes Tung Chung New Town a more attractive new town for people to reside. 1 Introduction In the past twenty years, the Hong Kong International Airport at Kai Tak has commenced a series of improvement to cater for the continuous growth in passengers and cargo.

    ICE Breaker Newsletter of ICE Hong Kong 2018 Issue 1 Messages and News Together We Can!

    ICE Breaker Newsletter of ICE Hong Kong 2018 Issue 1 Messages and News Together we can! ear Fellow members and friends, D We are now into the final quarter of the 2017/18 session for the ICE HKA committee. It has been a remarkably challenging and fruitful time for the committee. On top of our usual suite of high quality learned society activities, we have been exceedingly bold in launching an ambitious ICE 200 programme around three strands, namely knowledge, branding and inspiration. Our vision for this milestone year of the ICE bicentenary is to enthuse the profession, enhance our public image and inspire the next generation. Our ICE 200 events are centred around the TECH (ie technology, engineering, climate and humanitarian) themes. Some of our flagship events to date are as follows: (a) Innovation Summit on 12 January 2018. The Honourable Mrs Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of HKSAR Government, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (b) Distinguished Lecture on 13 March 2018 delivered by Dr Robin Sham, CBE, and Dr Ana Ruiz-Teran from Imperial College London. Mr Andrew Heyn, British Consul-General to Hong Kong and Macao, gave the opening address as the Guest of Honour. (c) Grand Opening of the World’s Longest Span LEGO® bridge on 21 March 2018. The Honourable Mr Matthew Cheung, Chief Secretary for Administration, was the Guest of Honour for the Grand Opening Ceremony. About 80 students from 8 schools contributed to pre-assembling the bridge components. The LEGO® bridge was displayed to the public in ELEMENTS for one month.

  • Economic Competitiveness

    Brand Hong Hong’s visual identity — a powerful and energetic dragon — was designed to communicate the city’s historic link with a mythical icon. The blue and green ribbons that extend from the dragon symbolise blue sky and a sustainable environment, while Lion Rock — the famous landmark that represents the Hong Kong people’s “can-do” spirit — is silhouetted by the red ribbon. The fluid shape of the ribbons evokes versatility, and the multiple colours signify the city’s diversity and dynamism.
