Port Development Strategy Second Review executive summary
The Executive Summary of the Port Development Strategy Second Review has been published.
The bilingual document contains a summary of the findings of the review and a revised strategy for port development.
A spokesman for the Planning Department said today (Friday) that the Second Review was undertaken by the Planning Department in collaboration with the Port Development Board since April 1993.
"The review, completed in June last year, provides an update of the First Review completed in March 1992 and identifies the revised elements of the Port Development Strategy for incorporation into the Port Development Plan and Programme," he said.
In the Second Review, the demand for different types of port facilities and ancillary facilities such as typhoon shelters and ship repair facilities have been assessed based on the Port Cargo Forecasts. The result is then used as an input to the review of the Port Development Strategy.
The Second Review also includes an assessment of possible solution spaces against a set of evaluation criteria including site location, cost and programme.
"The end result of the review is a recommended 'Plan of Action' for port development up to the year 2011, covering aspects including container terminals, buoys and anchorage areas, cargo working areas, river trade terminals, typhoon shelters, ship repair facilities and essential port services." the spokesman added.
