Hong Kong is one of the busiest and most efficient international container ports in the world. It handled nearly 18.0 million TEUs of containers in 2021. The port provided about 270 international container liner services per week connecting to nearly 600 destinations worldwide.

The locations of the major port facilities, including container terminals, the river trade terminal, mid-stream sites, public cargo working areas (PCWAs) and supporting facilities (e.g. shipyards and typhoon shelters) are shown in the above plan.

In 2021, the Kwai Chung-Tsing Yi Container Terminals handled around 14.6 million TEUs, representing about 82% of the port container throughput. The remaining 18% was handled at mid-stream sites, the river trade terminal, PCWAs, buoys and anchorages, and other wharves.

Container terminals (CTs) are situated in the Kwai Chung-Tsing Yi basin. There are nine terminals operated by five different operators, namely Modern Terminals Ltd (MTL), Hongkong International Terminals Ltd (HIT), COSCO-HIT Terminals (Hong Kong) Ltd (CHT), Goodman DP World Hong Kong Ltd and Asia Container Terminals Ltd (ACT). They occupy 279 hectares of land, providing 24 berths and 7 794 metres of deep water frontage.

The water depth of the Kwai Tsing Container Basin is 15 metres. A project to deepen the Basin and its approach to 17 metres has been substantially completed in April 2016. The total handling capacity of the container terminals is over 20 million TEUs per year.
