The International Conference on Smart Mobility and Logistics in Future Cites (the conference) was held on October The conference aimed to converge the latest innovations worldwide in addressing mobility and logistics issues in smart cities from an interdisciplinary perspective, opening the way for planning accessible, efficient and thus sustainable transportation in the future. The three-day conference, co-organised by the Institute of Transport Studies at the University of Hong Kong (HKU ITS), the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) and the Transport Department (TD), also marked the 50th Anniversary of both the CILTHK and the TD, and the 20th Anniversary of the Master of Arts programme in Transport Policy and Planning at the HKU. The Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, was the Guest of Honour. Other guests included the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Mr Frank Chan; the President and Vice-Chancellor of HKU, Professor Zhang Xiang; the International Secretary General, Mr Keith Newton; the Commissioner for Transport, Ms Mable Chan; and other distinguished scholars and professional experts from overseas. Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mrs Carrie Lam said that since the publication of the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong last year, a lot of smart initiatives were in the pipeline, such as the smart lamp post project for collection of city data and the installation of in-vehicle units for automatic toll payment and collection of real-time traffic data. She also said that Hong Kong was poised to become an e-commerce fulfilment hub and the application of technologies in supply chain such as the use of automation and robots would assist the trade in tackling the e-commerce challenges. During the conference, the Commissioner for Transport Ms Mable Chan and her colleagues have introduced the smart mobility initiatives promulgated in the Hong Kong Smart City Blueprint and their latest progress and accomplishments. The conference, which brought together a distinguished list of speakers and about 320 experts from overseas and various fields, was an excellent platform for the academia, professionals in transport and logistics, and policy makers to come together to explore the latest global trends in smart mobility and logistics development, and to deliberate the opportunities and challenges ahead. The conference featured four keynote sessions and more than 20 parallel sessions, industry showcases, exhibitions and technical tours.

6 (Submission to the Task Force on Land Supply on 29th August 2018) 6 Logistics Policy Committee Submission re Public Engagement : Land for Hong Kong : Our Home, Our Say! In our views, the options set out in the consultative document Land for Hong Kong : Our Home, Our Say! (L for HK) are quite comprehensive. Recognisably, the housing problem in Hong Kong has long been a social problem. In fact, there are also shortage of land for the provisions like infrastructure, GIC, commercial and other recreational and welfare facilities etc. Given the acute shortage of land for meeting the need in Hong Kong, the multi-prong approach as set out in the L for HK should be adopted as every bit of achievement would help irrespective of the time scale. Among the options, we consider that priorities should be given to the following Short-to-Medium Term Options Developing Brownfield Sites Tapping into Private Agricultural Land Reserve in the New Territories Medium-to-Long Term Options Near-shore Reclamation outside Victoria Harbour Developing the East Lantau Metropolis (ELM) Developing Caverns and Underground Space More New Development Areas (NDAs) in the New Territories Developing Two Pilot Areas on the Periphery of Country Parks Conceptual Options Developing More Areas on the Periphery of Country Parks Increasing Development Intensity of Village Type Development Zones Topside Development of Existing Transport Infrastructure Utilising the Development Potential of Public Utilities Sites Relocation of Kwai Tsing Container Terminals (KTCTs) Reclaiming Part of Plover Cove Reservoir (PCR) for New Town Development In the light of fierce competition faced by Hong Kong in sea transport, we consider that the options Developing the River Trade Terminal (RTT) Site and Topside Development of Kwai Tsing Container Terminals (KTCTs) should not be pursued now pending further reviews to allow some breath spaces for the trades concerned. On the other hand, the land supply for the logistics industry in Hong Kong is far from adequate for meeting the operational need. As such, if there are sites which are being used for logistics operation but were to be allocated for other uses, those sites should be reprovisioned. Conceptually, the land made available under this exercise would also be allocated for meeting needs other than housing development. Should there be such opportunities, the need for land by the logistics industry should also be given preferential consideration. No doubt, transport provisions are important for land development. As such, the traffic and transport impacts of land development should be assessed with a view to identifying future demands, providing basis for transport planning and organising for transport improvement. In addition, the magnitude of travel costs to be borne by the travelling public originating at the newly developed areas should also be given due consideration. In fact, the construction of transport infrastructures generally requires long lead time and visionary reviews on the priority of constructions should be conducted on a regular basis. As a general practice, the necessary transport provisions including both transport infrastructures and public transport services should be readily available for meeting the first phase of population intake or occupation of the sites. In case there are capacity constraints on the transport provision even with improvement measures, there may be a need to limit the scale of the new development. In the interest of integration of transport and land use planning, there are two options that we consider pursuing with priorities. Reclamation We wish to highlight reclamations as a preferred option as the area available would be sizable enough to permit more comprehensive development say in the form of Smart City. To a lesser extent, the area can be developed under the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) concept providing a mixed development which blends residential, commercial, cultural, institutional and entertainment uses and potentially serving by public transport, pedestrian and cycling connections. The target is to avoid and reduce the need for external travel and if needed, public transport services are available for meeting travel demand. On this basis, the proposed reclamation at East Lantau is considered as a very feasible option. Selected sites at country park and green belt We consider the opening up of selected sites at the country parks and green belts worth pursuing as such would be allowed easier integration with the features of urban development such as utilities and transport networks etc. If necessary, the sites in question could be reprovisioned by allocation of land at reclamation to meet the similar purpose. In fact, the development of brown field sites is a more viable short-to-medium term option. Among the 1,300 hectares identified, 900 hectares are suitable for development. However, the ownership and transfer of title of brownfield sites for development is a complex issue and the obstacles could include owners consents, compensation and relocation of users etc. Not surprisingly, the negotiation process with the stakeholders is expected to be lengthy and tortuously difficult. Due to the vested interests, there are bound to be divergent views on the means of land supply. The challenge therein is how to foster an enlightened sense of community in the minds of Hong Kong people many of whom are susceptible to the NOT IN MY BACK YARD mentality and progressively engender a less parochial mind-set via extensive engagement and civic education under Government s leadership. In any case, in order to work out a decision in an impartial manner, a method with public recognition should be developed for carrying out the evaluation of different options under the criteria like technical feasibility, economic impact, financial viability, environmental impact, developmental potential, budgetary constraints and public acceptability etc. Based on the outcomes of the evaluation, it might be easier for the decision to be reached. In any case, there is no room for the issue to be rambling around and quick decisions under a plurality system should be contemplated. In the consultative document, there is a question as to whether Hong Kong should explore the possibility of building a land reserve, to prepare for a rainy day. Given the nature of the exercise, we should think big despite the current unsatisfactory situation. On this basis, the possibility of building a land reserve should be incorporated as part of the exercise though the relief of the current shortage problems should be accorded with higher priority.

7 Transport Policy Committee Submission on Road Harbour Crossing Rationalisation The Institute is in support of the toll rationalisation proposal for the three road harbour crossings (RHCs) targeting at their traffic redistribution to optimise their respective capacities and traffic flow. We note that the toll rationalisation proposal for the three RHCs were discussed as early as 2008, followed by several studies and public engagement exercises on different toll scenarios. We also note that the government later decided that the optimal time to review the toll rationalisation strategy was to take a comprehensive look into the three RHCs upon the completion of the Central Wanchai Bypass (CWB), together with the three land tunnels between Kowloon and Shatin which have natural pairing effects on the use of the three RHCs. With the near completion of the CWB and the continued congested traffic condition, the Chief Executive pointed out the need for the toll rationalisation proposal in her 2018 Policy Address. To follow this up, the Transport and Housing Bureau (THB) put forward details of their toll rationalisation proposal for the three RHCs. The gist of the proposal is to lower the tolls for the Western Harbour Crossing (WHC) and increase those for the Cross Harbour Tunnel (CHT) and the Eastern Harbour Crossing (EHC). The aim is to make effective use of the larger design capacity of the WHC by encouraging some of the private cars, taxis and motor cycles currently using the CHT or EHC to use the WHC instead to effectively alleviate cross-harbour traffic congestion and minimise the impact on non-cross harbour traffic. Other than the toll rationalisation proposal for the three RHCs and the three land tunnels between Kowloon and Shatin, a toll compensation scheme for WHC, and the waiving of tolls for the franchised buses in respect of the RHCs and government tunnels are also parts of the package. The CILTHK supports the toll rationalisation for the RHCs, and the associated compensation scheme for WHC. The CILTHK also welcomes the waiving of tolls for the franchised buses. We tender our support based on the overall benefits to the community which include the following: (a) Overall traffic benefits to RHC users We note that the weekday morning peak hour demands for CHT and EHC exceeded their design capacities by 77% and 38% respectively, resulting in long traffic queues affecting the cross harbour and non-cross harbour traffic, while that for WHC is 10% below its capacity. The government estimated that the proposal would result in the reduction of traffic queues in the connecting roads of CHT and EHC by 34% and 10% in the morning peak respectively by This would help reduce journey time and traffic queues for all road users using the three RHCs as well as the connecting roads. (b) Right balance on effects to different transport modes We note that the proposal would affect tolls for private cars, taxis and motor cycles, which are relatively inefficient vehicles compared with public transports but constituting about 75% of the cross harbour traffic. Rationalisation of their choices of RHCs, with a fraction of vehicles diverted, would have significant benefits in alleviating the over congested CHT and EHC. (c) Majority of the RHC users benefitted According to the Annual Traffic Census (ATC), we note that only a minority (less than 20%) of private transport users would have to pay more tolls in using the RHCs. Public transport passengers accounting for some 70% would not have to pay more. Hence, more than 80% of cross-harbour users are either paying the same or less tolls, at the same time they will be benefited by shorter travel time. We also note that goods vehicles which have important bearings in our economic activities would be benefited. (d) Ancillary benefits to franchised bus passengers With the waiving of the tolls for the RHCs and other government tunnels for the franchised buses and the setting up of a Franchised Bus Toll Waiver Funds, bus passengers would be benefitted with the amelioration of pressure for franchised bus fare increases. (e) Appropriate timing The proposed implementation of the toll rationalisation proposal is January 2020, shortly after the commissioning of the CWB and Island Eastern Corridor Link in late 2018 / early The purpose is to have an alternative bypass road in Central to avoid potential traffic block with the influx of traffic from the WHC. We consider the move is right and hope that the scheme could be implemented as soon as possible upon the completion of the CWB for the good of the whole community. (f) Environmental benefits As the proposed toll rationalisation scheme would bring along reduction in traffic queues and journey time, the air pollution problems related to traffic congestion would be reduced. This would mean reduced emission of greenhouse gas (comprising CO2, CH4 & NO2) for the benefits of the environment and the health of the whole community. With the continued growth in the number of vehicles and vehicular traffic, and the limited scope in road network expansion, there are needs to identify means to release traffic congestion. The Transport Advisory Committee pointed out clearly in their Report on Study of Road Traffic Congestion in Hong Kong the importance of maximising the efficiency of the limited available road space. The current toll rationalisation proposal is a road pricing strategy to attempt to redistribute traffic flow to optimise the use of the RHC capacities. We are in support of such an attempt and the current proposal would also throw lights on future attempts to adopt congestion charging as a traffic management tool to optimise the use of the limited road space. On a related issue, we note that there are views urging the government to buy back WHC. The CILTHK is not in support of such a proposal as it would complicate the whole issue, resulting in delay in the implementation of the toll rationalisation scheme and possible significant financial outlay which would not be cost efficient bearing in mind that the franchise for WHC would expire in While we support the government's proposal to rationalise the tolls for the RHCs, we would urge the government to: consider setting up a mechanism to constantly review the toll charges of the RHCs to optimise their respective traffic flow; improve the road access of Route 8 at the Shatin end to enhance the effectiveness of diverting traffic to use WHC; and start commissioning a study for the construction of the fourth road harbour crossing.

8 Professional Activities Committee CILTHK Visit: Government Flying Service, 6 July 2018 The Government Flying Service (GFS) is one of the disciplined services of the HKSAR Government which operates in accordance with the civil aviation rules and provides the community of Hong Kong with a broad spectrum of flying services, including round-the-clock search and rescue, emergency air ambulances, fire-fighting and support to various law enforcement agencies. To carry out these tasks, the GFS is equipped with a mixed fleet of operational aircraft comprising two fixed-wing aircrafts, three AS3322 L2 Super Puma helicopters and four EC155 B1 helicopters. Ir Donny Chan, Chief Aircraft Engineer of GFS and his team received our visiting group on 6 July and gave a brief introduction of GFS to allow the participants getting a glimpse of the total landscape of GFS. Ir Chan explained that Semper Paratus is the motto of GFS which means always ready. Participants were impressed with the operation statistics and duties of GFS that were not well known by the public, includes conducting Aerial Survey a special camera is installed on CL605 for mapping, reclamation and mining surveys use; Meteorological Data Survey - collect meteorological data of tropical cyclone and transmit in real time when tropical no. 3 is hoisted; Aerial radiation monitoring and etc. The visit was ended with the guided tour to the GFS Air Command and Control Centre as well as Hanger for static display of aircraft.

Esteemed local transport and logistics companies which had been serving Hong Kong for more than half century had been invited to share their stories in this series. With the support of Hong Kong Tramways Ltd. and MTR Corporation Ltd., the 1st episode themed train & tram industry was held successfully in May. Following the success, the 2nd and 3rd episodes in Sea Passenger & Cargo and Dockyard, Salvage & Towage were held on 14 July and 13 October 2018 respectively which were well received by members and friends. Episode Two: Sea Passenger & Cargo, 14 July 2018 With the undaunted support from HKU SPACE Centre for Logistics & Transport, the 2nd Episode Sea Passenger & Cargo was held at the HKU SPACE Admiralty Learning Center on 14 July We were glad to have Fat Kee Stevedores Ltd. and Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Co. Ltd to share with us their insight and interesting stories. Participants were brought to walk through the history, development and transformation of these two companies. Before cross harbour tunnels and metro were built, ferry was one of the most important modes of transportation in the city. HYF was one of the major ferry service providers to islanders to this day. Going along with Hong Kong s development, Ir Willie Yeung, Deputy General Manager of HYF, presented a brief review of the company s history and how HKF and HYF adopt and develop themselves to cope with the changes throughout the years. 8 FKS, founded in 1949, is a long established logistics operator in Hong Kong providing high quality services in land and sea transportation, distribution center operations, supply chain solutions and waste logistics management. FKS has witnessed the changes of development in Hong Kong and itself transformed from a small set up which relied substantially on manual labour to a multi-disciplinary organisation today. Mr David Kong, Managing Director of FKS, and their Executive Director, Mr Terence Yan, shared with us how FKS morphing itself with Hong Kong and its position to tackle the challenges and grasp the opportunities ahead. The Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry Co. Ltd. (HYF), is a subsidiary of Hong Kong Ferry (Holdings) Co. Ltd., has been providing ferry service in Hong Kong for almost a century since The presentation drew overwhelming response from the participants and led a fruitful discussion when it came across the challenges faced by the maritime operators, for example, labour shortage.

9 Professional Activities Committee Episode Three: Dockyard, Salvage & Towage, 13 October 2018 The visit to Hong Kong Salvage & Towage ( HKST ) as the third episode programme was warmly hosted by Mr Cliff Chow, General Manager; Mr Oxman Fung, Manager of HR & Training and a team of HKST crew members. HKST is the division of Hongkong United Dockyard ( HUD ) and is a renowned establishment in the maritime industry. HKST has a long history dated back to its establishment when HUD was formed by merging of Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Company and Taikoo Dockyard & Engineering Company in HKST indeed takes multiple roles as the designer, owner and operator of the most modern fleet of both harbour tugs and ocean-going tugs in Hong Kong. Mr Chow explained that harbor tugs and multi-purposes vessel serve 24 hours for the Port of Hong Kong whereas their ocean-going tugs serve in a standby mode to offer support services in case of emergency. During the visit, a brief review on company history, core competencies and real case studies showing through video clips were shared. Participants were impressed with the firm action taken by HKST and their crew to safeguard the safety at sea and to assist in rescue operations and oil pollution control. The tour included the workshops, tug and facilities which enabled participants gaining an overview of the operations of the dockyard, salvage and towage. CILTHK Seminar: Making Blockchain Real, 30 August 2018 Blockchain is inextricably linked with data distribution. Originally, it was devised for the digital currency, bitcoins, but now its rapid development has brought innovative changes across diverse industries. It plays an increasingly central role in transforming business operating models of virtually all industries. What is Blockchain? Is it a hyper or are there any real use cases of the technology? Why is it important to supply chain and trade finance? What is the upcoming development and how to put Blockchain in production use? Dr Paul Sin, Partner of Deloitte Consulting, illustrated some of the answers to those questions with real cases. Dr Sin defined Blockchain as a network for distributed ledger with data integrity ensured through real-time synchronisation and consensus and elaborated the principles by showing the real-world applications in respective sectors, for example, banking, insurance, supply chain, healthcare, digital right, regulator & etc. (from left to right) Mr Cliff Chow, General Manager of HKST; Mr Patrick Man & Mr Simon Lam, PAC members Joint Seminar: Leveraging the opportunity of Belt and Road Initiative to build the Bay Area, 31 August 2018 One Belt One Road is a national strategy of China launched in late 2013 with an aim to promote economic co-operation among countries along the proposed Belt and Road routes and create a regional economic co-operation framework. Lately, the Greater Bay Area initiatives is being drawn up in pursuit of the goal to build a world-class city cluster across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau region which is perceived to be Hong Kong s major opportunity to push forward future development. Ms Catherine Chow, CMILT, Public Relations Director of China Merchants Port Holdings Co. Ltd. examined the new prospects, new trends and new opportunities for the development of the port industry under the Belt and Road Initiative and how the current Greater Bay Area concept is incorporated to build a bigger and stronger economy in the Greater Bay Area. Three key areas in Interoperability, One belt and One road initiative, innovation and win-win were discussed.
