With a maritime history of more than 150 years, Hong Kong has developed into an international hub of maritime and shipping businesses, providing shipping and a comprehensive spectrum of maritime services for the global shipping community. With our unique institutional strengths and attractive business environment, Hong Kong is the haven for shipping and maritime businesses.

SHIPPING AND MARITIME Hong Kong is one of the leading

international ship finance centres in Asia. Our vibrant shipping community provides ample opportunities to support the long-term growth of ship finance and ship leasing business. Of the world’s top 10 bookrunners on syndicated marine finance loans, 7 have established o�ces in Hong Kong.

SHIP FINANCE

Technology is transforming the world and the way business is done. It gives the international maritime industry a new impetus to scale new heights. Familiar advanced technological terms, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, virtual reality, internet of things, are beginning to gain a foothold in the industry. Hong Kong is well–positioned for innovation and adoption of new technologies to further the development of our maritime industry and high value-added services.

MARITIME TECHNOLOGYWith the aim of developing a vibrant, diversified and competitive pool of maritime professionals and technical personnel, the Maritime and Aviation Training Fund (MATF) was set up in 2014 to help grooming talents for the industry. More than 7400 students and in-services practitioners have benefited from the Fund so far. In May 2019, additional funding was approved to be injected into the MATF to sustain and enhance existing training schemes and scholarships, as well for launching new initiatives.

EDUCATION AND CAREER

Advanced, comprehensive and world-renowned business insurance facilities are being operated in Hong Kong by experienced professionals to serve di�erent shipping operations. They generally cover hull and machinery, protection and indemnity and goods in transit (cargo).

MARINE INSURANCEHong Kong shipowners and management companies own or manage a large fleet of merchant ships with almost 10% of the deadweight tonnage of the world’s fleet. Based on the latest statistics, there are some 290 ship agents and management companies operating in Hong Kong o�ering a wide range of professional services in order to ensure smooth sailing of the ships.

SHIP MANAGEMENT

Hong Kong is a renowned centre of shipping and commercial contract formation as well as dispute resolution. With the established common law system, Hong Kong inherits the jurisprudence of adjudications relating to shipping and maritime contracts, providing legal and commercial certainty for maritime enterprises around the world.

MARITIME LAW AND ARBITRATION Hong Kong is one of the busiest and most

e�cient international container hub ports, handling some 20 million TEUs of containers in 2018. The port provides about 310 container liner services per week connecting to around 450 destinations worldwide. The Kwai Tsing Container Terminals handled 15.5 million TEUs in 2018, representing 79% of the port’s total container throughput.

PORT AND LOGISTICS

The Hong Kong Maritime Week 2019 consists of about 50 activities to be staged by more than 50 local

and overseas industry organisations and professional associations to showcase

Hong Kong’s strengths as an international maritime centre and the quality

maritime services provided by our vibrant maritime

cluster.
