Da Chan Bay Terminal One is situated in the Western Shenzhen Port area in South China. It is a new world-class container terminal serving the Pan-Pearl River Delta cargo catchment areas. Sixty-five percent of its shares are held by Modern Terminals Limited, the longest-established container terminal operator in Hong Kong.
