物流业研讨会

Excerpt : Following the SAR Government HK's commitment to strengthen Hong Kong's role as an international and regional transportation and logistics hub, Ta Kung Pao(大公报) organized a symposium on October 31, 2001 to discuss relevant issues including how the SAR Government HK creates opportunities to expedite the development of logistics services. Participants include leaders of the HK logistics industry, intellectuals, as well as influentials from Shengzhen.

Simon Hsu, Chairman of ecL commented that the high land prices hinder the development of logistics industry in HK and the government officials should have a clear view on "logistics". Also, aggressiveness to attract overseas business is important. Solutions of other participants include simplifying the multiple customs clearing procedures for the transshipments of goods between Hong Kong and the mainland, quickening the training of logistics management personnel, promotion activities and developing the kind of services that characterize the logistics industry of Hong Kong.

摘要∶十月三十一日大公报报举办了一个物流业研讨会, 与会的有居本港物流业领导地位的商界人士和学者, 还有深圳的业界贵宾十余人就董特首在施政报告提出的, 增加香港作为供应链基地的优势、加快建立有香港特色的物流服务业, 及成立物流发展督导委员会、物流发展局等问题进行了讨论会上各专家纷纷发表了精辟的意见。

各与会专家对於政府发展物流业都抱支持的态度, 更期望政府能够为业界创造更好的经营环境。代表指出, 香港要发展成物流中心必须控制土地成本、与珠江三角洲加强联系, 粤港两地宜尽快实施货物廿四小时通关以及两关一检加快通关时间等, 这些都需要政府政策的配合。

网丰物流资讯有限公司主席除乃成认为香港政府必须调控地价, 如果不将地价成本降至合理水平, 那我会认为, 在高成本的地价下香港的物流行业是很难发展得好的。另一方面, 政府官员也必须就何谓物流有更清晰的了解, 而努力积极的态度也是吸引外商的重要因素。

其他讨论题目包括∶对一会一局的期望和寄托、人力资源、宣传推广和加快建立香港特色的物流服务。
