HONGKONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, its continued reliance on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 12% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's total trade by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9 million in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier Stock Market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 57.4% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by more than 4% in 2013. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983. In 2013, Hong Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014, cover services and trade facilitation, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies.

GENERAL

 

ATL Logistics Centre Hong Kong Ltd. [ATL] formerly was known as Asia Terminals Ltd. which was incorporated in December 1981.  It was renamed as the present style in December 2000.

 

The ultimate holding company of ATL DP World Ltd. [DP World] is a UAE‑based company.

 

ATL owns and operates ATL Logistics Centre which is the world’s first and largest intelligent multi-storey drive-in cargo logistics centre.  ATL Logistics Centre offers warehouse and office leasing as well as a full range of cargo handling, container freight station [CFS], logistics and distribution services.  ATL Logistics Centre is conveniently located in the heart of Kwai Chung Container Terminals and within easy reach of Hong Kong’s commercial and population centres, airport, as well as the Mainland border.

 

The followings are the facilities and equipment of ATL:-

·         Total floor area:  9,329,000 square feet

·         Leasable floor area:  5,940,909 square feet

·         Number of floors:  Centre A: 7 floors, Centre B: 13 floors

·         Headroom:  1st - 7th floor: 17.5 feet, 8th - 11th floor: 25.0 feet

·         Loading Capacity:  1st - 7th floor: 350 lb. / square foot, 8th - 11th floor: 450 lb. / square foot

·         Vehicular access:  3 lane ramp (2 lanes up & 1 lane down)

·         Vehicle queuing/waiting:  7 / F Centre A & Centre B, 12 / F Centre B

·         Loading bay number:  Over 1,730 loading bays (94-120 loading bays per floor)

·         Traffic throughput:  Average 8,000 vehicles a day

 

ATL has expanded its warehousing facilities outside Hong Kong.  ATL Thailand Ltd. was incorporated to develop and manage a container freight station in Thailand.  It is a joint-venture between ATL, holding 49%, and Thai partners the White Group and National Finance & Securities, jointly holding 51%.  The construction cost was about HK$150 million.  The 39‑hectare freight station site was bought for a consideration of HK$40 million.

 

ATL provides comprehensive one-stop cargoes handling services, container terminal services and trucking services to meet customers’ needs.  It has set up a new facility in Yantian known as ATL Logistics Centre Yantian Ltd. [ATL Yantian] which is a China Customs approved export warehouse located in the vicinity of Yantian International Container Terminal.  ATL Yantian commenced its operations in January 2002.  It brings together the expertise of ATL and other members of the DP World Group to provide logistics and warehousing services to customers.

 

The ultimate holding company, DP World is an Emirati marine terminal operator.  It is based in Dubai and is one of the largest marine terminal operators in the world.  It operates more than 60 terminals across six continents, with container handling generating around 80% of its revenue.  In addition, the company has 11 new developments and major expansions underway in 10 countries.

 

DP World was founded in 2005 by merging Dubai Ports Authority and Dubai Ports International (which was founded in 1999).  It purchased Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company (P&O) of the United Kingdom in 2006 for £3.9 billion (US$7 billion), which was at the time the world’s fourth largest ports operator.  Shares representing 20% of the company were floated on the NASDAQ Dubai stock exchange in 2007.  The company does not currently operate in the United States where its purchase of a number of US ports led to high-level controversy.

 

DP World is incorporated in the Dubai International Financial Centre and is a dual primary listed company, having been accepted for admission to trading by NASDAQ Dubai in 2007 and to the official list of the London Stock Exchange in 2011.  It has a portfolio of more than 65 terminals across six continents, including container terminals, non-container terminals and new developments in India, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.  Container handling is its core business and generates more than three quarters of its revenue.  In 2013, it handled 55 million TEU5 across its global portfolio.

 

Its capacity is expected to rise to more than 100 million TEU by 2020, in line with market demand.

 

DP World operates its portfolio under three regions:-

·         Middle East, Europe and Africa

·         Asia Pacific and Indian Subcontinent

·         Australia and Americas

 

It employs 30,000 people in total.

 

The history of the subject in Hong Kong is over 33 years.

 

On the whole, in view of the parentage of ATL, consider it good for normal business engagements.
