..A. Vision Of Freight Development In Shenzhen

Probably you are quite familiar with the market in our areas, however, we would like to take this opportunity in giving you a brief introduction about the rapid development of freight market in Shenzhen and its interaction on Hong Kong.

Shenzhen is located in the north of and a border city of Hong Kong; and is one of the Chinese Economic Special Zone in South China. Currently, there are three international terminal seaports:

Chiwan, Skekou and Yantian. Different liners are berthing at differnet ports in according to the application and approval from the Chinese Government.

Due to the geographic superiority, unique economic style, rapid infrastructure development, availability of experienced labour, advanced technology in freight management...etc, which makes Shenzhen become the most efficient, most flexible, and the fastest growing city of freight forwarding business.

The growth of turnover in term of teu ex Shenzhen over the past two years is tremendous and it recorded at two digit increase every year (based on research in 1998, volume of shipment has been increased by 82%).

	Sending shipment directly out from Shenzhen will benefit both the shipping lines and shippers. For liners, they can be benefited from the cheaper terminal,lifting , labour and handling charges at ports. For shippers, they can save money in transportation comparing to sending shipments ex Hong Kong. Obviously, Shenzhen has already taken up a considerable volume of export shipment from Hong Kong and is gradually replacing the status of Hong Kong as an important transshipment ports.
