The Sheng Ping 25 container vessel was standing by on a torrid afternoon at Humen Port, Dongguan, in Guangdong province, set to sail on a novel mission that is expected to have a significant impact on cargo traffic at Hong Kong International Airport. The vessel would take on airfreight collected from across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and move to an intermodal cargo pier west of the airport.
