Location and Figures
Overview
The container pioneer of Asia and the busiest port in the world through much of the 1990s. Kwai Tsing container terminals moved shipping into the modern era, but throughput has fallen from a 24 million TEU peak as cargo shifted to Shenzhen and Guangzhou. Still a leading transshipment and maritime finance hub.
