33 Our Hong Kong Foundation. (2017). From Large-Scale Reclamation to an Ideal Home. As shown in previous sections, the existing Kwai Tsing Container Terminals (KTCTs) is considerably smaller compared to other international ports. This limits the development of our port. In our previous report, From Large Scale Reclamation to an Ideal Home,33we have proposed relocating the KTCTs to an outlying island, much like the Tuas Mega Port in Singapore and the Yangshan Port in Shanghai. This can create an opportunity to modernise and upgrade the port infrastructure. The next generation container terminal requires a sizeable plot of land, has to be surrounded by waters deep enough to allow mega-vessels to berth, and must have good access to a deep marine channel. We have recommended Cheung Chau South as a possible location in our previous report. Recently, some have also proposed a co-location port to consolidate all major ports in the Greater Bay Area outside Hong Kong Waters (Figure 53).Develop dedicatedlogistics nodesReform the siteallocation mechanismRelocate Kwai TsingContainer Terminals Conduct economic reviews and formulate industrial policiesEstablish a statutory body for the development of strategic industriesRecommendation 3: Relocate Kwai Tsing Container Terminals
