'To pick Lantau would be indicative of not understanding the industry. If you follow that logic, we should have kept Kai Tak running after we opened Chek Lap Kok to provide more capacity for the airlines.'
John Meredith
Group managing director
Hutchison Port Holdings
MR MEREDITH CAN be quick to tell some people (yours truly, for instance) that they do not understand the port industry. Compared to his own knowledge, it is undoubtedly true but knowledge can be compromised by conflict of interest in matters of introducing more competition to an industry.
Mr Meredith's job is to make money for Hutchison. This is not our purpose in questions of whether container berths should be built on Lantau.
