ANNUAL REPORT 2025 51 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT KEY GREEN INITIATIVES IN 2025 HIT YANTIAN Converted 13 hybrid RTGCs to electric RTGCs Replaced 3 petrol forklifts with electric forklifts and purchased 1 new electric forklift Replaced 2 fossil fuel– powered vehicles with EVs Purchased 12 remote control electric RTGCs Started to install solar PV panels on 16 QC machinery houses Transitioned diesel mobile equipment and vehicles, including 1 reach stacker, 5 empty handlers and 173 trucks, to electric models Maintained an electric RTGC online rate of 96% Maintained an electric RTGC online rate2 of 89% Continued to replace conventional lighting with LED fixtures on cranes and buildings Installed LED lights on 8 QCs Placed 6 AI autonomous trucks to production trial at Terminal 4 Provided shore power supply services across 1,283 vessel connections The HPH Trust management team is regularly updated on the emissions reduction progress at all divisions. Each month, Engineering staff at the ports record fuel consumption, and CO2 emissions are calculated quarterly based on these records. These results are reported semi-annually to the HPH Trust Sustainability Working Group and quarterly to the management teams at HIT and YANTIAN, including the Heads of responsible departments, for review. This reporting process is crucial for ensuring that the business remains on track to achieve its emissions intensity reduction goals. To evaluate the effectiveness of its sustainability initiatives and assess performance against its targets, the Trust has established a dataset encompassing energy use and emissions metrics1. 1 The HIT throughput used to calculate per TEU metrics reflects the total volume of cargo handled at HIT terminals, rather than the allocated throughput from HKSPA, which is detailed in other sections of this Annual Report. 2 The percentage of operations powered by electricity rather than traditional fuel for the eRTGC fleet. With new sets of shore power systems installed at YANTIAN, the shore power consumption and vessel connections in 2025 marked an increase of 17% and 18% respectively compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, HIT is conducting a feasibility study to install shore power systems at selected terminals, supporting the green transition of the shipping industry. Furthermore, building on the success of the previous year’s installation of solar photovoltaic (“PV”) panels on QC machinery houses, HIT is initiating a solar PV installation project on 16 more existing QCs at its terminals. YANTIAN is also exploring the use of solar panels on building and QC machinery houses.
