ABOUT US

Welcome to the Homepage of the Hong Kong Maritime and Port Board (HKMPB).

The inception of HKMPB in April 2016 provides a high-level platform for the Government to work in partnership with the industry for the betterment of our maritime and port sectors. The key objectives of the HKMPB are to set the direction for the long-term development of Hong Kong's port and maritime services, foster the development of maritime manpower, and devise promotion strategies and initiatives to enhance Hong Kong's status as an international maritime centre. As its vision statement goes, “building on the vibrant port and established shipping heritage as an international maritime centre, Hong Kong will be further consolidated into a major maritime services hub through effective governance, policies and practices for the maritime cluster, with good synergy with shipping and port operations.”

The HKMPB consists of a wide representation of expertise and knowledge from the industry, academia and relevant industry bodies, enabling seamless communication and collaboration between the Government and the trade. Through the HKMPB, we will continue to work together to formulate holistic strategies to reinforce Hong Kong’s position as an international maritime centre and raise the community’s understanding and support of Hong Kong’s maritime industry.

In this Homepage, you will find comprehensive information about HKMPB’s organisation, objectives and latest news on our activities. I hope that you will find this homepage useful and informative.
