Profile
HPH TRUST
Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (“HPH Trust” or the “Trust”) is the
world’s first publicly traded container port business trust. Listed
on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”) in March
2011, it was also the first entity to launch dual currency trading
of its units in early 2012. The Trust was subsequently admitted
into the Straits Times Index (“STI”) on 3 April 2013, and remains
one of the top 30 companies on the Main Board of the SGX.
The Trust’s mandate is principally to invest in, develop, operate
and manage deep-water container ports in China’s Guangdong
Province, Hong Kong and Macau (collectively known as the
Pearl River Delta (“PRD”)).
Currently, HPH Trust owns interests in four

market-leading,
best-in-class, deep-water container ports strategically located
in Kwai Tsing in Hong Kong and Shenzhen in China, two of the
world’s busiest port destinations. In 2015, its terminals operate 32
container berths across 543 hectares of land, with a combined
throughput of approximately 23.9 million twenty-foot equivalent
units (“TEU”).
The Trust’s core port operations are supported by complementary
river ports and ancillary services, which provide customers
with seamless supply chain solutions for both imports and
exports. HPH Trust holds economic benefits in two river ports
in China (“River Ports Economic Benefits

International Container Terminals Limited (“Jiangmen
Terminal”) and Nanhai International Container Terminals
Limited (“Nanhai Terminal”) (together, the “River Ports”). It also
operates ancillary services via Asia Port Services Limited (“APS”),
operator of one of the largest fleets of dedicated barges in
Hong Kong; HPH E.Commerce Limited (“Hutchison Logistics”),
which oers supply chain solutions across rail, sea and land
networks; and Shenzhen Hutchison Inland Container Depots
Co., Limited (“SHICD”), operator of an inland container depot
and warehouse in Shenzhen.
