Port name

[edit]

I think this article has to be rewritten. In Hong Kong the container terminals are known as Kwai Chung Container Port (or Kwai Chung Container Terminal(s)) ([1] [2] [3]), although the Terminal 8 is located at Stonecutter's Island near Kwai Chung, and Terminal 9, which is under construction, is on Tsing Yi. Substantial amound of the TEU throughput is by "mid-stream" [4], but that's not covered in this article. This website provides up-to-date statistics that is useful in this article. — Instantnood 15:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Mission accomplished. :-) -- Jerry Crimson Mann 2 July 2005 21:14 (UTC)
Wow.. you're so fast.. please also take some time if possible to wikify the content.. and take a look at the format other port articles are using, say, Port of Singapore, and the Ports WikiProject. :-) — Instantnood July 3, 2005 07:31 (UTC)
Actually the Kwai Chung CT has been renamed as Kwai Tsing Container Terminals after the establishment of CT9 in Tsing Yi. --- Spring Dennis 18:12, 8 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article has way too many red links. I think they should be cleaned up, at least to some extent. worthawholebean talkcontribs 02:26, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]

Port of Hong KongHong Kong's seaport – Given difficulties relating to the present name of this article (port of Hong Kong reads as an official name yet it isn't), I propose moving the page to Hong Kong's seaport which is less official, more descriptive and thus I believe more suitable.

How about Hong Kong Harbour? That would be similar to other Hong Kong ports: Category:Ports and harbours of Hong Kong. --Usgnus 03:33, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is about the collective port of Hong Kong, and a Harbour is a specific body of water. In a pinch, one could accept Hong Kong (seaport), although that would still be somewhat ambiguous. In any case, naming policy strongly prefers the most common name in English; the exact formal name of the entity can/should be given in the article but need not be the title. --Dhartung | Talk 04:12, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the most common name in English is Port of Hong Kong. --Usgnus 04:46, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There are actually more google search results for Hong Kong Harbour than the Port of Hong Kong, if google hits is to be taken as one indicator for "common usage".--Huaiwei 14:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've a quick glance of the first ten hits on Google, and was amused by what they actually refer to. None of those are talking about port facilities. — Instantnood 16:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Harbours and ports are very different. It's true that many port facilities are indeed in harbours, many are not, e.g. river ports such as the Port of London and the Port of Philadelphia. — Instantnood 19:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This should be "Berth of Hong Kong". I think "Port of Hong Kong" is also fine. Benjwong 01:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • 'Oppose. There are stacks of information related to berth and ports that have absolutely nothing to do with harbors and water geography. This should not merge. It is strictly economic material, not geography. Benjwong 01:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
