Hong Kong shipping

Port of Hong Kong

It would be incorrect to speak of Hong Kong shipping as just one business. Actually, the field of Hong Kong shipping can be subdivided into many sub-categories (particularly businesses that operate within the Port of Hong Kong.) Some examples of businesses that can be classified under the field of Hong Kong shipping are Towage and Salvage, Passenger Ferry Services, Maritime Insurance, Shipping Publications, Ship Brokers, and Maritime Consultancy. A Hong Kong shipping company directory might also list Banks (dealing with Shipping Finance), and Containerized Freight Services. Port services at the Port of Hong Kong could fall into the categories of local services, ocean-going services, and port operation procedures. These services are regulated by the Marine Department of the Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Shipping publications

The businesses in Hong Kong shipping can be researched on in more depth if you read various shipping publications distributed within Hong Kong. Three such shipping publications come to mind easily, namely: Lloyd’s Freight Transport Buyer Asia; Informa Asia Publishing Ltd.; and the Hong Kong Shipping Gazette. Lloyd’s Freight Transport Buyer Asia aims to inform those interested in Hong Kong shipping about the Asian supply chain business. Informa Asia Publishing Ltd. publishes information about Hong Kong shipping concerns in different media formats. The Hong Kong Shipping Gazette provides readers daily updates about Hong Kong shipping concerns like trade and shipping news, cargo tracking, and shipping schedules. All these three shipping publications are produced by Hong Kong publishing companies based in different parts of Hong Kong itself.
