Stonecutters Island<br />
THE Port of <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong>'s cargo<br />
handling capabilities have been<br />
boosted by the opening of a<br />
new HK$240 million Permanent<br />
Mid-Stream Facility at<br />
Stonecutters Island.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 6.7 hectare facility,<br />
built by the <strong>Hong</strong> <strong>Kong</strong> <strong>SAR</strong><br />
Government, aims to provide<br />
a lower cost alternative to<br />
existing container terminals<br />
and allow the port to better<br />
absorb the spillover at<br />
Kwai Chung during the busy<br />
peak season.<br />
When fully operational in<br />
September 1998, the complex<br />
will boast a 600,000 TEU per<br />
annum capacity as a host of<br />
private operators offer midstream<br />
handling services for<br />
container, semi-container, bulk<br />
and break-bulk cargoes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> terminal's six berths<br />
are specifically designed to<br />
accommodate river trade<br />
and coastal size vessels as it<br />
particularly aims to appeal to<br />
intra-Asian traffic.<br />
