"Evolving from a tiny fishing village to one of the world's busiest container ports, Hong Kong's remarkable achievements in maritime industry are the fruit of the joint efforts of everyone in the workforce. HIT, being at the forefront of the maritime industry, has been a significant part of the city's port for the past half-century.
