The Hong Kong Shipowners Association was incorporated in 1957 by 11 local shipowners with the purpose of creating a forum for shipowners resident in Hong Kong. Over the past 55 years, the Association has grown into one of the world’s largest Shipowner Associations, its members owning, managing and operating a fleet with a combined carrying capacity of over 133 million deadweight tonnes.
The Association welcomes into Associate membership Hong Kong resident companies supplying services to the shipping industry. The composition of membership has enhanced the credibility of the Association within the local community and has given breadth and experience to its international status and relationships.
