Relocated ferry piers in
Central District on Hong Kong Island will soon be dwarfed by
a development including shop, office, hotel and residential towers. They will rise above the Hong Kong terminus of the new Airport Railway, linking the city centre with the territory's new international airport being built at Chek Lap Kok.
NEXT PAGE: Container Terminal Eight joins Kowloon with the former Stonecutters Island in one of several new container projects needed to handle Hong Kong's increasing container traffic. The territory achieved another milestone in April 1995, when Hong Kong was declared the world's busiest container port after handling 11.05 million twenty-foot-equivalent units (TEUs) during 1994. It was the third successive
year that Hong Kong had posted a new record and affirmed its status as the world's leading container port. Preliminary figures for 1995 reinforce that status, with a total of 12.6 million TEUS being handled, a rise of about 14 per cent on 1994.
