     The Government has been actively identifying suitable sites for supporting modern logistics development. As announced in the Chief Executive's 2021 Policy Address Supplement, the Government has concluded the feasibility studies for two port backup sites. The sites, including Tsing Yi Town Lot No. 200, will be released through public tender in phases starting this year.

     Tsing Yi Town Lot No. 200 has a site area of about 6.2730 hectares and is designated for logistics services purposes, with the maximum gross floor area being 206,170 square metres for developing multi-storey port backup and modern logistics facilities, as well as providing storage space for containers of not less than 2 200 twenty-foot equivalent units, so as to have multiple purposes within the site.

     A spokesperson for the Transport and Housing Bureau said, "The logistics industry is a very important part of the Hong Kong economy and makes significant contributions to the Hong Kong community. With a view to promoting modern logistics development progressively, the Government will continue to identify more suitable sites for the development of multi-storey modern logistics facilities, so as to strengthen Hong Kong's role as a regional logistics hub."
