Hong Kong Terminals Mark 200 Million TEU

Hutchison Port Holdings' (HPH) Hong Kong assets marked a significant milestone with cumulative throughput of 200 million teu. Excerpts from his speech: "For decades, Hong Kong has been a major hub port in the region. For the past 10 years (2005-2014), the average annual throughput at the Hong Kong Port was some 23 million TEUs. This is indeed a highly impressive performance having regard to the physical size of the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals. The efforts made by different parties operating the Hong Kong Port must be recognised. Hutchison International Terminals is a major operator of Hong Kong's container terminals. Today, HPH Trust is celebrating its milestone achievement of handling the 200 millionth TEU.

Container Terminal Operators 2012 League Table & Forecast

Measured by equity TEU, there is no change in the order & ranking of the top five international container terminal operators.

HK Port To Shut Down For Y2K Inspections

Hong Kong will halt operations at its container terminals and check whether ships calling at its port are ready for the Y2K computer bug in the hours straddling the New Year, a top port official said. Hong Kong terminals will stop working on container ships for about four hours starting at 10 p.m. on Dec. 31 (1400 GMT) and for an hour from 8 a.m. on Jan. 1 (0000 GMT), when the year 2000 begins on Greenwich Mean Time. "At that time, they don't want to be working on ships, they want to go around checking on all the equipment and systems that they've got to make sure nothing's gone wrong," Roger Tupper, deputy secretary of the Hong Kong Port and Maritime Board, said.
