5 - 5.
The share of total value added attributed to ocean and coastal water transport and services incidental to transport increased by 0.6 and 0.4 percentage point over 1992 respectively. These were mainly brought about by the operation of the first berth of Container Terminal No. 8 since mid 1993 and the continued growth in the business of cargo forwarders.
For inland water transport and supporting services to water transport, both their shares of total value added went up by 0.3 percentage point over 1992. Although these increases in absolute terms were not large, there was considerable percentage growth of 12% and 5% respectively. This was largely contributed by the thriving business of inland water freight transport and haulage of containers.
On the other hand, the share of total value added for air transport decreased by 2.4 percentage points and that for land passenger transport by 0.2 percentage point. The percentage for supporting services to land transport remained generally unchanged.
The attached table compares some selected principal statistics by major transport group for 1992 and 1993.
