Chief Secretary Eric Chan warned that Hong Kong's government would maintain its vigilance as the city prepared to inaugurate its revamped Huanggang Port on Monday. In a social media post, Chan took the helm of a cross-departmental meeting on Saturday to finalize all preparations for the port's opening. Chan stressed that the most stringent standards and requirements must be met for the port's safe, orderly, and seamless operation.
He directed all departments to carry out final checks and adjustments for various systems, including clearance mechanisms, inspection protocols, facilities, equipment, and contingency plans. Chan emphasized that frontline departments must ensure a smooth transition from the old port to the new one. He also urged departments to provide real-time support and deploy ample personnel at the crossing to assist and guide cross-border travelers.
Chan cautioned the public to avoid the new crossing during its initial stages unless absolutely necessary, warning that it is expected to be extremely busy.
