中国珠江三角洲的制造业基地正在向西转移，珠江水系在那里有广泛的覆盖范围。这使集装箱驳船运输成为香港港口新的增长领域。传统上，香港港口一直是经珠江系统运输集装箱的主要门户，但这一优势地位正受到华南邻近港口的挑战，特别是深圳港，深圳港渴望通过改善驳船通往其港口设施的通道，从新增长中分得更大的份额。虽然深圳港的服务正在改善，但驳船运营商在香港港口一直面临高度拥堵。提高驳船集装箱服务的质量对香港港口至关重要。在本研究中，我们提出并研究了三个改善策略：加强小型集装箱流的整合，提高驳船泊位分配的效率，以及优化香港港口资源的整体利用。这些策略有助保持香港作为珠江水系门户的地位，以及维持香港作为国际航运枢纽的竞争力。
The manufacturing base in the Pearl River Delta of China is moving westwards, where the Pearl River system has extensive coverage. This makes container barge transport a new growth area for Hong Kong Port. Traditionally, Hong Kong Port has been the main gateway for containers transported through the Pearl River system, but this advantageous position is under challenge from the adjacent ports in South China, especially from Shenzhen Port, which is keen to take a bigger share of the new growth by improving the access of barges to its port facilities. While services at Shenzhen Port are improving, barge operators have been experiencing high congestion at Hong Kong Port. Improving the quality of barge container services becomes crucial for Hong Kong Port. In this study, we propose and investigate three improvement strategies: to enhance the consolidation of small container flows, to increase the efficiency of berth allocations for barges, and to optimize the overall utilization of port resources in Hong Kong. These strategies can be instrumental for keeping Hong Kong's status as the gateway for the Pearl River system and help maintain its competitiveness as an international shipping hub.
