Hutchison Port Holdings Trust - Annual Report 2015 - page 17

In October 2015, the Hong Kong ports of HPH Trust reached their 200 millionth
TEU throughput milestone. The landmark achievement came less than three years
after YICT handled its 100 millionth TEU in January 2013, and is a testament to the
e—ciency of the port’s operations, along with the commitment and determination
of the Trust’s staœ. HPH Trust hosted a cocktail to celebrate the historic occasion,
with Professor Anthony Cheung Bing-leung, GBS, JP, Hong Kong’s Secretary for
Transport and Housing, in attendance. An internal ceremony was also held at
HIT to commemorate the achievement, with staœ from HPH Trust’s Hong Kong
operations attending, along with external contractors.
