It oversees the operations of terminals 1, 2, 5, and 9 (South) within the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals complex. Additionally, MTL holds joint venture interests in container terminals located in Shenzhen, Guangdong, and Taicang, Jiangsu on the Chinese mainland.

Presently, MTL functions as a subsidiary under Wharf (Holdings), with ownership shared by China Merchants Holdings (International) and the Jebsen Group.
