HONG KONG, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) — The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) is committed to establishing "partnership ports" with China's inland regions of strategic importance for cooperation, as well as with regions participating in the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Chief Executive Li Jiachao said on Wednesday.

In his keynote address, Li Jiachao noted that the HKSAR administration is actively expanding freight delivery sources by promoting intermodal freight transport from inland provinces and cities in China to international markets via the HKSAR via rail, sea, land, and river.

Currently, cargo arriving from the cities of Chongqing and Chengdu can be sent by rail or sea to Yantian Port in Shenzhen or Beibu Bay in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and then on to the Kuiqing Container Terminal, which fully utilizes the advantages of the respective ports, ensuring mutual benefit, Li Jiachao cited as an example.

“We also intend to require all vessels providing methanol bunkering services in Hong Kong waters to install mass flow meters within the next year to improve bunker efficiency.” “We will also amend the Merchant Shipping (Registration) Ordinance next year to make registration processes more flexible and digital,” he said. -0-
