Nel 2003 nell'area terminalistica Kwai Chung del porto di Hong Kong sono stati movimentati 12.072.000 teu, con un incremento dell'1,5% rispetto a 11.892.000 teu movimentati nell'anno precedente. Nei primi dieci mesi dello scorso anno il traffico realizzato dai container terminal di Kwai Chung rappresentava il 59,5% del traffico container registrato complessivamente dal porto di Hong Kong (16.847.000 teu nel periodo gennaio-ottobre).
Secondo le proiezioni elaborate dai rappresentanti del porto asiatico, Hong Kong chiuderà il 2003 con un traffico container record pari ad oltre 20 milioni di teu, con un incremento prossimo al 7% rispetto all'anno precedente.
Il porto di Hong Kong conferma quindi la sua leadership mondiale nel settore container, sopravanzando ancora una volta (consecutivamente dal 1999) il porto di Singapore, che ha archiviato il 2003 con un traffico di oltre 18 milioni di teu (inforMARE del 9 gennaio 2004).
