NURTURING FUTURE LEADERS
Ever supportive of cultivating the next
generation of industry leaders, HPH Trust
provides numerous internship opportunities
to students interested in pursuing a career
in logistics. Every year, HIT offers more
than 20 placements and YICT welcomes
more than 30 interns through their doors.
HIT played proud host to the 9th Citi International Case
Competition (“CICC”) in October 2011. The CICC is
designed for undergraduate business students to work
in teams to troubleshoot real-life business situations and
present their solutions within a 26-hour deadline.
The students were given an overview of HIT terminal
operations and a tour of the facilities before HPH Trust’s
Executive Director, Mr. Ip Sing Chi and the Trustee-
Manager’s CFO and HIT’s Managing Director, Mr. Ivor
Chow gave a presentation of the company.
Free talk between the students and YICT’s management

Students, professors and judges at the CICC fnal competition and award ceremony
For six consecutive years, YICT has been running an
annual three-week summer study camp for students
from Dalian Maritime University (“DMU”) and Shenzhen
University (“SZU”). The programme is known for the
in-depth exposure it gives to participants who learn about
the complexities of terminal operations, conduct research
on enterprise management and experience corporate
culture.
One of the highlights of the programme was the free
talk between the students and YICT’s management.
On 1 August 2011, Ms. Hai Chi Yuet, CEO of the Trustee-
Manager and Managing Director of YICT, met with
the students who were keen to ask questions and
seek advice. Topics such as career planning, personal
development, how to cultivate one’s curiosity and good
habits, among others, were discussed.
At the end of the internship, the students gave
presentations on their projects to the panel of judges,
and after returning to campus, they shared what they
learned during the internship with their teachers and
fellow students.
