The need for a reliable repair facility for both Blue Funnel and China Navigation Company fleets prompted the construction of the Taikoo Dockyard in Hong Kong. It literally entailed moving a mountain: 1,600,000 cubic yards of granite hillside was levelled and used to reclaim 20 acres from the harbour at Quarry Bay, creating a total flat area of more than 52 acres and over half a mile of deep-water berths. Boasting Hong Kong’s largest supply of electrical power, its most extensive machine shops and a dry-dock capable of accommodating the largest ships in the world, Taikoo would go on to become one of Hong Kong's biggest, and one of its most progressive employers.
