The new Central Mail Centre in Kowloon Bay is an integrated mail sorting centre that amalgamates the International Mail Centre in Hung Hom and the sorting office at the General Post Office in Central. After the official handover of the Central Mail Centre to Hongkong Post on 5 July 2013, the migration process proceeded in phases to ensure seamless transition. The International Mail Centre was completely relocated in March 2014 while the relocation of the General Post Office sorting office is scheduled for completion by end 2014.
Adopting a green building design, the Central Mail Centre is purpose-built to optimise operational efficiency. It is equipped with 12 Optical Video Integrated System (OVIS) machines and 3 culler-facer-cancellers with optical character recognition capability.
Some 1 600 second pouch boxes located throughout the territory, the external walls of postal facilities and liquid crystal display screens in selected post offices are offered as a package for advertising. To provide additional convenience to our customers, some space at the General Post Office and San Tin Post Office has been rented out for the installation of Automated Teller Machines.
