| HIT operates
Container Terminals 4, 6, 7, 9 and 8 East (joint-venture
with COSCO) at the Kwai Chung Container Port. A continuous
quay length of over five km provides for 14 ship berths
and up to nine barge berths served by 55 quay cranes
(capable of handling the latest container vessels)
and seven rail-mounted jib cranes.
Adjacent container storage is handled by 24 rail-mounted
gantry cranes and 149 rubber-tyred gantry cranes.
The Hutchison Logistics Centre located
at Container Terminal 4 with over 377,000 square metres
of floor space also houses HIT's own container freight
station operations.
At the heart of all operations, HIT's
advanced Terminal Management System is becoming increasingly
customer-focused to ensure shipping lines receive
world-class service.
