A useful and practical guide to the territory’s port and maritime services, The Port of Hong Kong Handbook & Directory 2009, has recently been published, and free copies are now available to interested parties.

The full-colour English booklet published by the Seaports Publications Group with the support of the Marine Department, gives up-to-date information on the port of Hong Kong, one of the world's busiest ports and a major international maritime centre, and Hong Kong's dynamic maritime industry which serves ships calling at our port as well as the global shipping community.

This 72-page handbook provides facts and information including the statistics of the port, the Hong Kong Shipping Registry, the Hong Kong Shipowners Association, shipping companies, terminal operators, ship finance, maritime law, sea-going training and so on.
