world's leading container port The Asia Terminal Centre, operated by Sea-Land Terminals' subsidiary Asia Terminals, is well-eqiiipped to handle freight operations for the adjacent Terminal 3. Sea-Land Orient Terminals have a 13 percent share of Hong Kong's container handling market, and this looks set to rise with investment in a new terminal to increase capacity. Sea-Land Orient Terminals SEA-LAND Orient Terminals (SLOT) operates arguably the world's most efficient container terminal, handling more then one million TEUs yearly despite the limitation of a single berth. A combination of high-tech equipment, facilities and human vigilance allowed SLOT to accommodate 1.1 million TEUs in 1997, as an average of 20 vessels a week called at Berth No. 3 of Hong Kong's Kwai Chung Container Port. Indeed such is the efficiency of its handling operation that its 305 metre long berth — capable of accommodating 5,500 TEU capacity vessels with a draught of 1 2.2 metres — enjoys a 95 percent utilisation rate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. SLOT's 1 7 hectare site is equipped with 11 rubber-tyred gantry cranes, 14 bridge cranes and three quayside gantry cranes which average 40 moves per hour, ensuring that it takes SLOT just 10 hours to load/discharge up to 1,200 TEUs from a visiting vessel. Located between the port's HIT and MTL terminals, SLOT's facility boasts a stacking capacity of 7,146 TEUs and a total yearly handling capacity of 1.2 million TEUs. High-tech computer systems and EDI technology utilised at the terminal include a Yard Inventory Control System, a Vessel Stowage System and a Gate System which allows an average of 2,800 in-andout transactions every 24 hours. Container Freight Station operations for Berth 3 take place in the adjoining Asia Terminal Centre — operated by SLOT subsidiary Asia Terminals Ltd — which is equipped with 94 receiving and loading bays. SLOT also operates a container storage and repair depot in South Container Port Road, close to Container Terminal 8, and utilises the services of subsidiary Orient Trucking Ltd (OTL) for onward distribution by truck and barge to destinations in Hong Kong and mainland China. OTL, which regularly operates barges to Pearl River Delta ports, currently has a fleet of 90 tractors and 221 chassis based in Hong Kong and nearly 100 tractors in mainland China, used for carrying out both cross-border trucking operations and domestic services in Guangdong Province in a jointventure operations with Sinotrans. Its comprehensive range of services in Hong Kong has led to SLOT capturing a lucrative 13 percent share of the regions container handling market. Managing Director Alan Y. Lee said: "Our aim is simply to provide the best possible service for our customers. Hong Kong is the gateway to Asia with vessels calling at our facility primarily serving the Asia-US, Asia-Asia and Asia-Europe markets." SLOT is determined to improve its current facilities to ensure that it is equipped to meet future demand by participating in the investment of the new HK$11 billion container terminal (CT9) which will give Hong Kong an additional holding capacity of about 3.6 million TEUs Its existing facility is exclusively served by vessels operated by Sea- Land, Maersk and the Tricon Consortium (Choyang, DSR Senator, Hanjin) shipping lines with cargoes incorporating everything from garments, electrical appliances and waste paper to frozen vegetables. 45
