The site on Tsing Yi comprises seven acres of formed land at
the south-west corner of the island, alongside the drainage reserve
adjacent to the Peninsula Electric power station. Tankers from China
would berth there to unload.
In addition to providing these two storage sites, the Government
proposes to construct a railway siding at Sha Tin, which will remain
government property but will be available to China Resources Company for
deliveries to its adjoining storage area. It is anticipated that this
siding will take about two months to build.
It is also proposed to construct a spur railway line at Hung
Hom, bringing into operation the sidings already built there so that
light diesel oil can be off-loaded directly into barges and conveyed to
the storage tanks of other oil companies.
Mr. Clinton added that the discussions which he had held with the
management of China Resources Company had been most cordial and he was
sure that the Hong Kong community as a whole would be extremely pleased
at this news .
