Abstract: Abstract For a period, Hong Kong’s container port was the largest in the world, intermediating much of China’s trade with the rest of the world during the 1990s. The port’s history dates back to 1972 when the first vessel, the Tokyo Bay, arrived at the newly completed docks. The asphalt at Terminal One had only just been laid, and there were worries that the Tokyo Bay’s 200 containers would stick to the quayside. They didn’t, and after a devastating typhoon knocked out the region’s main container facility at Kaohsiung port in southern Taiwan, Hong Kong’s new port was soon booming.1
