The Maritime and Port Development Strategy
What
Twin transition in Hong Kong is driving demand for solutions that decarbonise and digitalise both port and airport operations, improving reliability and throughput.
Maritime priorities focus on green bunkering (methanol first, hydrogen/ammonia next), shore power and port electrification, vessel efficiency/retrofits, and smart terminals (automation, digital twins, e‑navigation, VTS upgrades).
Aviation priorities center on SAF readiness and offtake, airside electrification (e‑GSE and charging, smart energy management), and operational efficiency (A‑CDM, advanced surface movement, cargo‑terminal automation including cold chain and IoT traceability).
How
Pilot with anchor operators at HKIA and major terminal operators to validate SAF, e‑GSE, shore power, methanol bunkering, and terminal automation, targeting measurable wins in fuel saved and turnaround minutes reduced.
Design for Greater Bay Area interoperability, using Hong Kong as the reference site and scaling to Shenzhen/PRD; establish local service and training, and partner with HKUST/PolyU for applied R&D and talent.
Hong Kong is following International Maritime Organization goals of GHG emission reductions of 20-30% by 2030 and 70-80% by 2040.
