Transport and Logistics

If you are involved in transportation and logistics, then Hong Kong needs to be on your radar. Its position at the heart of Southeast Asia makes it a strategic location for global and regional logistics.

At InvestHK we help a broad range of companies, from entrepreneurs involved in the development of technology solutions for the supply chain management industry, to the largest multinationals running global shipping or aviation businesses.

Logistics

Hong Kong’s free-port status, mature trading infrastructure and geographic location make it an ideal city from which to develop your logistics and supply chain management business. As trade with Mainland China and across the region continues to rise strongly, logistics providers with a strong business proposition will find a dynamic business community receptive to new technologies and services. The supply, storage and distribution of high-end products – including art and wine – is an area that is attracting particular attention.

Hong Kong’s logistics community covers a broad range of services. For more detailed guidance, please contact our Transport & Industrial team.

Aviation

Commercial and private airlines – passenger and cargo – have found healthy demand for their services in Hong Kong. Supported by growing numbers of business and leisure visitors, the aviation sector continues to be attracted to the city. Cargo, in particular high-value, time-sensitive products, remains a strong sector with intra-Asia load factors edging up as demand from European and North American customers retracts.

InvestHK has supported a range of aviation and aviation-related firms over the past decade. Please contact us for the latest information on trends and opportunities.

Maritime

Hong Kong is one of the most mature, efficient and competitive shipping centres in the world. Currently more than 80 shipping lines provide over 400 container services per week, connecting Hong Kong to more than 500 destinations worldwide. Hong Kong’s close commercial ties with Mainland China – in particular the manufacturing stronghold in the Pearl River Delta – have further strengthened opportunities in Hong Kong, especially for companies with an eye on expansion across the region.
