Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung and lawmakers led by President of the Legislative Council Starry Lee Wai-king inspected the Hong Kong port area of the redeveloped Huanggang Port on Saturday, following its commissioning at midnight on Friday.

During the inspection, Tang said more than 100 tests and drills on traffic flow, crowd control and anti-terrorism will be arranged before its official opening. Subsequently, several large-scale tests will be conducted with the Shenzhen authorities, including a stress test involving at least 10,000 people, followed by the finalization of the port's official opening date by both sides.
