Ká-Hó Port, Maritime port in Coloane, Macau.
Ká-Hó Port is Macau's only deep-water port, located on the northeast coast of Coloane Island between Ká-Hó Bay and Dàdàn Point. It comprises four terminals: an oil depot terminal, a cement factory terminal, a container terminal and a power station terminal. The container terminal covers 49,524 square metres with two berths of 135 and 171.4 metres.
In 1969 Governor Jaime Silvério Marques proposed a deep-water port at Ká-Hó Bay, as Macau's shallow harbour could no longer take modern ships. In December 1987 the government signed a build-and-operate agreement with Macau Port Management Ltd, 33% state-owned, and the foundation stone was laid on 10 June 1988. The first phase finished on 11 June 1990; the container terminal opened in December 1991.
The port takes its name from Ká-Hó Bay, where Governor Jaime Silvério Marques proposed a deep-water harbour in 1969. Its four terminals are run by different operators: the oil depot, the Macau Cement factory pier producing Golden Carp cement, the Coloane power station pier, and the container terminal that began operating in December 1991.
The port operates year-round with ship arrivals varying by tide and shipping schedules throughout the day and night. Keep in mind this is an active industrial area with restricted access in certain zones for safety and operational reasons.
Ká-Hó Port is Macau's only deep-water port, with four terminals: an oil depot, a cement plant wharf, a container terminal and a power station wharf. The oil depot, in operation since June 1995, has 14 storage tanks and can load or unload two fuel carriers at once. The cement wharf covers 111,240 square metres and ships Golden Carp brand cement.
