Hong Kong is reviewing permit fees for river trade vessels as it seeks to keep its port competitive with terminals in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Transport and logistics secretary Chan Mei-po announced the review in a written reply to the Legislative Council, according to the source. The review concerns fees charged to river trade vessels amid growing competition from mainland Chinese terminals in Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
China-flagged vessels carry containers between ports in the Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong, where cargo may be transferred to ocean-going ships, the source says. No fee levels, review timeline or proposed changes were provided.
