A new logistics center will open in Hong Kong in 2023, paving the way for an additional 1.7 million tons of air cargo a year, Transport Secretary Frank Chan said today. Hong Kong is also expanding the express air cargo terminal. “With completion in 2022, our handling capacity will increase by some 50 percent to over a million tons a year,'' he said on the second day of the 2020 Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference. To improve capability of warehousing and shipment distribution, “a new premium logistics center, wich is scheduled to commence operation in 2023, will bring an additional 1.7 million tons of air cargo per year to Hong Kong,'' he said in a speech online.
