Charges on Vehicles with Extended Stay During Move-in & Move-out days
The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) informed the Hong Kong Trade Development Council that they will impose charges on vehicles with extended stay at the loading and unloading area of HKCEC during move-in and move-out days of HKTDC Hong Kong Houseware Fair 2009 .
According to HKCEC, this practice is a result of several meetings with the Organiser and the Transport Department for alleviating the traffic congestion by means of enhancing the loading and unloading efficiency during the move-in and move-out days.
The key points of this measure are summarized as below:
- Days where charges will be imposed
Charges will be imposed on those vehicles entering HKCEC loading and unloading areas on 19 April and 23 April 2009.
- The Charges
| 1st hour |
: |
Free |
| 2nd hour |
: |
HK$100/hour or part thereof |
| 3rd hour and thereafter |
: |
HK$200/hour or part thereof |
| Lost Ticket |
: |
HK$500 |
- Entry and Exit Control
The control point will be at the Truck Marshalling Area when vehicles are queuing for moving onward. Vehicles allowed to proceed to the Hall loading area will be given a ticket with clock-in time. Leaving vehicles will be clocked out at the control booth at the exit.
- Payment Collection
Payment (if any) will be collected at the exit control booth in the Truck Marshalling Area with official receipt.
- Notice
Temporary prominent signs will be displayed at the Truck Marshalling Area showing the details of the free time allowed for loading/unloading and applicable charges. Same will be printed on the clock-in ticket.
The above measure had been practiced in previous years and it worked well and contributed to alleviating the traffic congestion. However, your support and understanding is the most important thing to make it work again for the HKTDC Hong Kong Houseware Fair .
Thank you for your cooperation.
Hong Kong Trade Development Council
