The
Port of Hong Kong, located by the
South China Sea, is a deepwater
seaport dominated by trade in
containerised manufactured products, and to a lesser extent raw materials and passengers. A key factor in the economic development of Hong Kong, the natural shelter and deep waters of
Victoria Harbour provide ideal conditions for berthing and the handling of all types of vessels. It is one of the
busiest ports in the world, in the three categories of shipping movements, cargo handled and passengers carried.
