Special Industry

Substantial land has been reserved for industrial use to provide
local employment opportunities. Light and heavy industries
including container terminals are found in Kwai Chung and Tsing
Yi. Manufacturing and storage industries are mainly located in
Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung while other heavy industries such
as oil depots, shipyards and concrete batching plants are
concentrated in Tsing Yi.

There are a total of nine container terminals in the New
Town which support the development of logistics industry
in Hong Kong, covering about 280 ha of reclaimed land on
both sides of Rambler Channel in Kwai Chung and Tsing
Yi (Figures 14 and 15).

Rambler Channel
Heavy industries such as oil depots, concrete
batching plants, dockyards, boatyards and
other maritime industries, which require direct
marine access, are found in Kwai Chung, Tsing
Yi South and West (Figures 16 to 19). The special
geographical conditions of Tsing Yi make it
suitable for a wide spectrum of industrial uses.
These container terminals and heavy industries will
continue to perform a significant economic function
