香港同新加坡争占世界第一大集装箱港的宝座,看来还会延续下去。早些年新加坡曾列为世界第一大集装箱港,但是1992年的吞吐量为756万TEU,比1991年只增长了20％;而同年香港的吞吐量则比1991年增长了近30％,达到797万TEU,跃居世界港口第一位。 为了保持世界第一大集装箱港的桂冠,香港决心投放巨额资金于港口扩建,以进一步增加港口的吞吐能力。葵涌第8号码头正在顺利建设中,第一批泊位今年年中交付使用,其他泊位于1995年建成,届时年吞吐能力可增加200万TEU。第9号码头已在规划中,并且既将着手进行建设。如果中英关系发展正常,这个码头也可望于1995年中建成。
Hong Kong and Singapore occupy the world’s largest container port’s throne, it seems will continue. Singapore was listed as the world’s largest container port in earlier years, but its throughput in 1992 was 7.56 million TEU, an increase of only 20% over 1991; in the same year, its throughput in Hong Kong increased by nearly 30% over 1991, Reached 7.97 million TEU, ranking first in the world’s ports. In order to maintain its crown as the largest container port in the world, Hong Kong is determined to invest huge sums of money in the expansion of the port so as to further increase its handling capacity. Kwai Chung Pier 8 is under construction. The first berths will be delivered to use by mid-year. Other berths were completed in 1995 and the annual handling capacity will be increased by 2 million TEU. Pier 9 is already under planning and construction will begin. If the Sino-British relations are developing normally, the terminal is also expected to be completed by mid-1995.
