Hutchison Port Holdings Trust Annual Report 2012 4
Portfolio
Overview
HPH Trust owns and operates deep-water container ports
in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, two of the world’s busiest ports.
The port facilities owned by the Trust
are Hongkong International Terminals
(“HIT”), Asia Container Terminals
(“ACT”), COSCO-HIT Terminals
(“COSCO-HIT”) and Yantian International
Container Terminals (“YICT”). They are
all located at deep-water ports with
natural deep-water berths which can
accommodate mega-vessels of over
10,000 TEU in capacity. HPH Trust’s
terminals (HIT, COSCO-HIT and YICT) are
all equipped with a proprietary terminal
management system, nGen, from
HPH, the world’s leading port investor,
developer and operator. nGen enables
terminal operators to monitor the
progress of each container that passes
through the Trust’s terminals, ensuring
the effciency that defnes the Trust’s
operations and proftability. The Trust will
also integrate ACT’s operations with its
existing terminals using nGen, which will
enhance the overall operational fexibility
and effciency for the Trust’s existing Kwai
Tsing Port facilities.
These deep-water ports are supported
by the river ports located in Zhuhai
Jiuzhou, Jiangmen and Nanhai, which
offer seamless connectivity and support
to customers. The Trust also operates
a number of ancillary services which
include Hutchison Logistics, a logistics
solution provider that has networks
covering road, rail, sea and air;
Shenzhen Hutchison Inland Container
Depots (“SHICD”), which operates
inland container depots and warehouses
in Shenzhen; and Asia Port Services
(“APS”), which carries out container
handling in the harbour, container
storage, container repair and provides
feeder services between Hong Kong
and the rest of the PRD.
