Hutchison Ports’ Dock School programme
The port is a long-term supporter of local schools having contributed for many years as part of Hutchison Ports’ Dock School programme. Dock School was first introduced in 1992 to provide support and assistance to the schools in the port’s vicinity. Proposals that have received our support have included the refurbishment and restocking of two school libraries and the creation of a new science pond.
In more recent years we have sought to combine the Dock School programme with Go Green, a global environmental initiative undertaken by Hutchison Ports in partnership with members of the maritime community and local stakeholders such as government departments, NGOs and schools. Our recent Go Green activities have included tree-planting in local schools and annual support for the Marine Conservation Society’s Beachwatch initiative. Volunteers from the port collect and record litter from the beach adjacent to the Port Viewing Area.
