26 Modern Terminals Ltd

(1) Modern Terminals Ltd was incorporated in

Hong Kong in 1969 to develop and operate a deep-sea

container terminal at Kwai Chung, New Territories

to meet the needs of the rapidly expanding container

trade between Europe and the Far East. Several

major international shipping lines together with a

number of large local companies have invested in the

project and construction is well in hand.

(2) When completed the terminal is estimated to

cost HK$157m (£10.9m); CDC will invest £2m in partly

convertible loan, of which £1m had been drawn down

by 31.12.71.
