To commemorate this momentous occasion and to illustrate and appraise the evolution of the transport and logistics industries in Hong Kong, selected renowned local transport & logistics companies which had been serving Hong Kong for more than 50 years will be invited to share with us their stories in this series. Hongkong United Dockyards Ltd. will bring us walking through the history, development and transformation of their company and share with us their insight and interesting stories in the past and future this time. Members and non-members are welcome. Come and join us! Hongkong United Dockyards Ltd. ("HUD") HUD Group has a long history dated back to its establishment in 1972 with the merging of Hongkong & Whampoa Dock Company and Taikoo Dockyard & Engineering Company, which together formed the Hongkong United Dockyards Limited ("HUD"). This combined the two dockyards fleets under the Hongkong Salvage & Towage ("HKST"). Each shareholder holds 50% of shares in the venture. HKST became a division under the HUD Group after corporate restructuring in The division, still renowned for its name of "Hongkong Salvage & Towage" in the maritime industry, is now taking multiple roles as the designer, owner and operator of the most modern fleet of both harbour tugs and ocean-going tugs in Hong Kong, and comprising 13 tugs and 1 multi-purposes vessel totalling 54,000 BHP with an average age around 9.5 years. Its harbour tugs and multi-purposes vessel serve 24 hours for the Port of Hong Kong, one of the world's busiest port; whereas its ocean-going tugs serve in a standby mode to offer support services in case of emergency. Notwithstanding that, the ocean-going tugs are also actively seeking charter employment worldwide. As a leading player in the industry, HKST is the only tug operator in Hong Kong implementing a safety management system certified for compliance with the ISM Code by Lloyd s Register. Its towage and waste transportation services by vessels within Hong Kong territory waters have attained ISO 14001: 2015 Environmental Management System accreditation from Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency. Also, it is the only Hong Kong-based member of the International Salvage Union and a corporate member of the China Rescue & Salvage Association. All tugs are built in compliance with the IMO, ILO and Hong Kong Flag Administration regulations and specifications and are classed with Lloyd's Register. In this visit, HUD will share with us a brief review on her company history, core competencies and some cases studies. In addition, participants will be brought to visit the workshops, tug and facilities to gain an overview of the operations of the dockyard, salvage & Towage.
