SkyPier at a glance
Being the convergence point of passenger, cargo, capital and information
flow, Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) has well established itself as
an important engine of economic growth and as a key contributor to Hong
Kong’s position as a leading transportation and logistics hub in the Pearl
River Delta (PRD). The success in keeping the flow fluent and reliable while
providing a high service quality has won the airport many prestigious
accolades.

As the world’s fifth busiest international passenger airport and the world’s
most active air cargo operation, HKIA sees an average of 750 aircraft
movements a day. Over 80 airlines (including 18 cargo carriers) operate at
HKIA, connecting Hong Kong with more than 140 locations around the world.

Congratulations 24
With scheduled flights servicing about 40
Mainland destinations, HKIA is the airport
of choice for China-bound international
travellers. Concurrently, HKIA is also
positioning itself to meet the ever-growing
travel and cargo needs of the rapidlyexpanding PRD region.
In light of
globalization and regional integration, it is
crucial for HKIA to further integrate its
extensive international connection with the
transportation network of PRD cities.
At present, over 60% of HKIA’s 40-plus
million passengers are Mainland-travellers.
Out of this group, 70% are inter-modal
transfer passengers who use HKIA to
connect with cities in the PRD and other cities in China for business and/or leisure purposes. This passenger sector is critical to the
future growth of HKIA and of Hong Kong. Much effort has been dedicated to the generation of pioneering travel products catered
to improve the passenger travel experience through enhanced connectivity, reliability and hassle-free accessibility. As such, HKIA
views its top priority is to extend itself beyond the border to the very origins and destinations of its passengers’ travel journeys.
SkyPier is a ferry terminal located within the grounds of HKIA. It serves as a base for a designated ferry service connecting HKIA with
the top five ferry ports in the PRD (Shekou, Fuyong/Shenzhen, Humen/Dongguan, Zhongshan and Macau). The implementation this
project represents an innovative step forward that forges HKIA’s position as a hub airport servicing not only Hong Kong residents, but
also the 48 million people residing in the PRD. HKIA believes that the value generated by SkyPier will revolutionize the behaviour of
Mainland travellers in that they would consider HKIA to be ‘their’ airport; especially for international destinations.

The fundamental business logic behind SkyPier is twofold. Firstly, high-speed ferry transportation sailing from HKIA (as opposed to
downtown HK) can effectively shorten travel time between HKIA and PRD ports by up to half. Secondly, since transiting passengers
do not “enter” the commerce of Hong Kong, this justifies their bypassing of HK Customs, Immigration & Quarantine (CIQ) formalities
and their exemption from the $120 HK Airport Departure Tax. These factors have eliminated major processing and travelling barriers
for sea-air passengers. Equally as important is the establishment of a significant financial incentive for the usage of this mode of
transportation. Within SkyPier’s short two-year operational history; the number of airlines represented increased from 25 in 2003 to
57 today, daily passenger throughput increased from 800 at commencement to over 4000 today, check-in counters increased from 12
to 19. Overall, SkyPier has facilitated the travels of over 2.3 million PRD passengers since its inauguration in September 2003. It has
experienced an annual growth rate of 56%. This strong traffic growth trend is expected to continue with a projected 1.7 million
passengers in 2006.
Way forward
In an effort to continuously enhance the customer service levels for sea-air passengers, the concept of Upstream Check-in at PRD
ports was designed to allow the checked-in passenger to bypass check-in formalities at SkyPier and to relief him from carrying his
belongings through the various CIQ checkpoints along the way. This project was realized in November 2005 as Shekou of Shenzhen
became the world’s first cross-boundary check-in facility. Passengers boarding ferries at Shekou can confidently check-in with their
airline, receive their boarding passes and drop off their bags. The remainder of their journey is then hassle-free.
In regards to infrastructure, the existing SkyPier is but a temporary facility pending the construction of the permanent SkyPier II.
SkyPier II will be located adjacent to the newly opened AsiaWorld-Expo. The permanent pier, hotel, exhibition facility and a 9-hole
golf course will make up SkyCity. Upon completion, SkyCity will provide much improved facilities and more convenient and hasslefree services for SkyPier passengers. Phase one of the SkyCity development is expected to be completed in 2007.

Role of the CILTHK Library: CPD & Lifelong Learning
Resources Centre
Ho Shiu Fai, Chair of Education & Training Committee
In today’s world of rapid changing technology and highly competitive business environment, it takes more than just hard work and
experience to be successful in one’s profession. Continuing professional development must continue throughout our professional career
and lifelong learning is essential. The CILTHK library plays an important role as a continuing professional development (CPD) and lifelong
learning resources centre for our members.
The CILTHK library has traditionally committed to a strong role in supplying books and texts used by members seeking to take our Professional
Qualifying Examination (PQE). To promote continuing professional development and lifelong learning, the CILTHK library would have to
play a role more than a book repository and increase its value to our members. It is essential for the library of a professional institute like
ours to keep up with services for the kinds of technology our members employ, and to provide high quality learning opportunities for
members to develop skills necessary to interpret, evaluate and apply information to the problems that may arise in their professions and in
their daily work.
Our focus on strengthening learning resources is reflected in the increasing volumes of publications made available in the library. The E&T
Committee has the aim to gradually increase the stock of the library’s content, and bring members’ attention to resources likely to appeal
to them, and expand collections of current, quality learning resources in print format, as well as those in other non-print and electronic
formats, and develop new mechanisms of access and a delivery system in support of high-quality information services. The ultimate aim is
that the library can blend with internet learning environment and become the popular place where members go.
While we strive to enhance the library services for our members, the greatest challenge is our awareness of members’ needs and motivations.
So please don’t hesitate to recommend books and publications, etc. to be included in the library and forward your ideas and assistance. It
is your library and we are here to address your needs.
Seminar
On 11 January 2006, Ms. Lilian Seet, Assistant Vice President of Federal Insurance Company, presented a talk on “Transportation Specialist
Legal Liability Insurance” at CILTHK office. Around 40 members attended the talk in the evening. At the last session of Q&A, attendees
and speaker engaged in interactive communication, and the seminar ended at 8pm. Thanks to Mr. Alan Pun for chairing the seminar.

Visit a new ship
Seven Council Members and friends paid a visit onboard CMA CGM’s M/S Parsifal: a
modern new containership with a carrying capacity of 8,500 TEUs at Kwai Chung
container port on 25 February 2006.
Apart from allowing the members to visit the navigation bridge, the Master was kind
enough to show Council members the engine room, which looked like a power plant.
Congratulations
