Strategic Development Plan for Hong Kong 2030

Client: HKSAR Government

Location: Hong Kong

BMT delivered a significant study to map out a strategic long term roadmap for the Hong Kong port sector on behalf of the Hong Kong Transport and Housing Bureau.

The study is a key element in guiding port development policy and planning investment for future port facilities and related infrastructure. BMT led a consortium of port specialists, to undertake this study which featured the following broad strokes:

• Accounted for the forecasts of market demand and productivity as well as capacity of port facilities looking up to 30 years ahead;
• The competitiveness of Hong Kong Port in the regional context underpinned by extensive consultation with all the key industry stakeholders, including terminal operators, midstream operators, shipping lines, river trade operators, truck operators, shippers (incl. 3PLs) and consignees.

The Hong Kong Port is a defining feature of the Hong Kong SAR’s economy. With improved port capacity and quality available at Shenzhen and other Pearl River Delta ports, Hong Kong Port will need to improve and evolve in order to increase market share in future years.

The completed study applies BMT’s sector knowledge and 25 years of experience working in Hong Kong to assist the Government in delivering its goals.

Study areas include:

• Port logistics & cargo throughput forecasting;
• Extensive consultations with leading industry figures;
• Detailed competitor analysis and benchmarking;
• Creation of unique strategy frameworks to develop the value propositions, visions, positioning priorities and initiatives for action;
• Identification of key opportunities and areas to strengthen competitive advantages;
• Economic and financial assessments for associated infrastructure developments;
• High level strategy and policy development.
