| Abstract |
| This article provides a detailed analysis of the port transhipment cargo statistics of Hong Kong from 2004 to 2009. Port transhipment cargo movements have contributed significantly to the growth of port cargo throughput of Hong Kong in recent years. With an average annual growth rate of 4.5% between 2004 and 2009, port transhipment cargo movements took up 52.7% of port cargo throughput in 2009. In particular, port transhipment cargo movements between Hong Kong and the mainland of China (the Mainland) accounted for the largest share (41.1%) of Hong Kong's port transhipment cargo. About 73.6% of Mainland-Hong Kong port transhipment cargo movements were between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region. |
