Il traffico container nel porto di Hong Kong è aumentato dell'1,38% nei primi sei mesi di quest'anno, totalizzando circa 8.612.000 teu (inforMARE del 4 settembre 2001). Se nel primo trimestre, con complessivi 4.165.000 teu, è stato registrato un incremento del 4% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2000, nel secondo trimestre il traffico è invece diminuito dell'1%, attestandosi sui 4.447.000 teu.

Nel secondo trimestre del 2001 il traffico merci è stato complessivamente di 45,5 milioni di tonnellate, con un incremento del 3% rispetto al corrispondente periodo del 2000, ma con una flessione del 6% rispetto ai primi tre mesi di quest'anno. Il traffico oceanico è inoltre risultato pressoché invariato rispetto al secondo trimestre dello scorso anno, mentre quello fluviale ha mostrato un aumento del 10%.
