Established in 1969, Modern
Terminals quickly proved to be a major player
in an industry which was to grow to impressive
proportions in the coming decades. By 1972, Modern
Terminals had built Hong Kong's first custom designed
container terminal. This was the forerunner of
the Hong Kong container shipping industry and
it established Modern Terminals as the industry
leader.
Since then, in the face of
an increasingly competitive business environment,
Modern Terminals has developed into a fully-fledged
customer-oriented company. Focused on finding
solutions to each new business initiative that
a customer brings, Modern Terminals is recognized
as an organization that seeks out innovative ways
to improve its efficiency and productivity on
behalf of its customers.
Following upon our success
in Hong Kong, we are now also addressing the challenge
and the opportunity provided by the growth of
the container handling business in China. As an
active participant, we are already emerging as
a leader in this developing market.
Modern Terminals is a privately
owned company with a shareholder portfolio of
regional industry leaders: The Wharf (Holdings)
Ltd (68%); China Merchants Holdings (International)
Co Ltd (27%); and Jebsen Securities Ltd (5%).
