Logistics action plan announced
The Government will dispose of a total of four parcels of logistics land covering about 19 hectares regularly from 2024 to 2027 and develop logistics clusters in the New Development Areas of the Northern Metropolis.
These are part of measures set out in the Action Plan on Modern Logistics Development aiming to consolidate and promote Hong Kong’s position as an international logistics hub.
Releasing the action plan at a press conference this afternoon, Secretary for Transport & Logistics Lam Sai-hung said it formulates eight strategies and 24 action measures to meet the short, medium and long-term development needs of the logistics sector.
“Our goal is to promote high-quality development of our logistics industry by realising smart development, modernisation, green sustainability, internationalisation and facilitation, thereby developing Hong Kong into a sustainable, international and smart logistics hub.”
He explained that such a hub will focus on high-value goods and the e-commerce market, and capitalise on the tremendous opportunities brought by the rapid development of the country and the region.
Mr Lam said the action plan is a major document formulated by the Government for the development of modern logistics.
It will work with relevant stakeholders to implement the strategies and action measures in phases as well as review their implementation progress and effectiveness, he added.
