ANNUAL REPORT 2011 // 11
The Trust’s assets include interests in deep-water
container port assets at HIT, COSCO-HIT and YICT.
The Trust’s ports have natural deep-water berths which
can accommodate mega-vessels of over 10,000 TEU
in capacity.
HIT, COSCO-HIT and YICT are equipped with a proprietary
terminal management system, nGen, from HPH, the world’s
leading port investor, developer and operator. With nGen,
terminal operators are able to monitor the progress of
each container that passes through the Trust’s ports
ensuring the effciency that defnes the Trust’s operations
and proftability. The system was frst launched at YICT
in 2003, and an updated version was introduced at HIT
and COSCO-HIT in 2005.
Located in the heart of the world’s
largest trading hub by throughput,
the PRD region, HPH Trust’s port assets
can be found primarily in Hong Kong and
Shenzhen. With a combined throughput
of 47 million TEU, Hong Kong and
Shenzhen together constituted the world’s
busiest container port market in 2011.
