After complete completion, it is expected to bring about 95 million net profits every year. 3) From now on, Zhongshan Port will move eastward, which is beneficial to passenger transport services. It is expected that the number of group passengers on this route will increase. 4) Build a capital platform, form a multi-level investment and financing system, set up a public international public service, and plan to invest HK$2.2 billion as a platform for overseas investment.
