Major Strategies Feasibility to build Container Terminal No. 10 Expedite to build the Hong Kong- Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Construction of a Dedicated Logistics Park Encourage the development of e- Logistics
Container Terminal No.10 Lantau Island Tsing Yi Island Two sites have been identified initially. Extensive reclamation is required for the site at Northwest Lantau, which may affect the ecological environment. Consequently, the Government will study the other site at Southwest Tsing Yi. Although this site will require the relocation of the existing oil depot, it can achieve synergy with the container terminals in Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi. 2008-2009 Budget Speech, Financial Secretary HKSAR Expedite to Build the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge
