The Hong Kong Maritime and Port Board (HKMPB) is a Hong Kong Government body, with responsibility to:
- assist the government in devising maritime and port-related strategies and initiatives;
- facilitate collaboration between stakeholders, and work closely with the Government;
- create a maritime business-friendly environment;
- foster the long-term development of Hong Kong's maritime industry and port; and
- support and promote Hong Kong's maritime community.
The board was established on 1 April 2016, by the merging of the former Hong Kong Maritime Industry Council and Hong Kong Port Development Council, in a move welcomed by the maritime industry as signalling more support for them.[1]
Under the HKMPB are three committees: the Maritime and Port Development Committee; the Promotion and External Relations Committee; and the Manpower Development Committee.[2]
Membership
[edit]There are 19 non-official, eight institutional and three ex-officio members of the Board, which is chaired by the Secretary for Transport and Housing.[3]
