Abstract

The port of Hong Kong is a major hub port of the Asia-Pacific region. Hong Kong's port cargo throughput increased by 5.7% from 245 million tonnes in 2007 to 259 million tonnes in 2008. The port cargo movements between Hong Kong and the mainland of China accounted for 40.8% of Hong Kong's port cargo throughput in 2008. About 73.5% of these Mainland-Hong Kong port cargo movements were between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region. This article provides a detailed analysis of the port cargo statistics of Hong Kong from 2003 to 2008. This article also briefly highlights the more recent performance of the sector by making reference to the quarterly port cargo statistics from the first quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009.
