up to 10,000 tonnes with an annual throughput of 130,000 T.E.Us.

The cargo throughput capacity can be further increased to 250,000

T.E.Us per year with the construction of the phase II development of the

cargo terminal, which involves the extension of quay length, and

provision of more storage area and associated ancillary facilities.

The future development potential of Jiuzhou port hinges very much on the

development of the Zhuhai Special Economic Zone. However, because

of favourable geographical location & preferential policies, Jiuzhou has

better development potential than other ports along the Pearl River.

(h)

Jiuzhou is located very near to H.K.'s loading & unloading terminals, so

it is likely to remain a feeder port of H.K., taking advantage of the

international shipping services available in Hong Kong. As the cities

along the Pearl River become more industrialized, substantial growth in

river trade between the western port of the Delta region and Hong Kong

can be expected.
