美10月起對中國實體船舶徵港口費 陳美寶:不低估企業面臨營商壓力籲保持信心
運輸及物流局局長陳美寶表示,美國計劃自10月14日起實施港口徵費措施損人不利己,既損害美國港口業界、貨主及消費者利益,也令香港航運企業往來美國港口的業務面對不公平的成本上漲。
陳美寶提到,近日接連走訪航運企業,業界反映香港的營商環境確實是無可比擬,正努力探討應對方案。當局絕不低估企業面對種種商業考慮時所承受的壓力,特區政府會依托國家,全力支援香港航運企業應對挑戰,同時呼籲業界保持信心,避免因短期地緣政治壓力,倉卒作出決定,錯失於香港的長期發展機遇。
她續指,據當局向受影響企業了解,企業認為由政府提供財政補貼既不具財務可持續性,也非應對目前問題的有效方法。反之,業界希望政府能更加鞏固航運業在香港的營商優勢。政府近年推出多項措施增強航運業競爭力,未來有4項重點工作,包括強化海運業生態圈、引領業界把握綠色航運機遇、深化香港作為國際交流平台,及開拓內地和國際市場。
此外,政府很快會成立香港海運港口發展局,由非官方人士出任主席,設有專責團隊和增撥資源,提升研究、推廣和人力培訓工作,更有效支援政府推進香港航運業發展。
