Greater Bay Area (GBA) Development

With enhanced integration between Hong Kong and other cities under the GBA development, Hong Kong port will start a new page as being part of the major Southern China port cluster. Under the GBA plan, it pledged to consolidate and enhance Hong Kong’s status as an international maritime centre and support Hong Kong’s development of high-end maritime services such as ship management and leasing, ship finance and dispute resolution services.

To further strengthen the port cluster’s global competitiveness, China’s Ministry of Transport signed an agreement with the maritime authorities of Hong Kong and Macao to establish a collaborative mechanism to promote water transportation safety and green shipping development in the GBA.
