'''Container Terminal 9''' or '''CT9''' ({{zh-t|t=九號貨櫃碼頭}}) is the 9th [[container terminal]] in [[Hong Kong]]. It is located on [[Tsing Yi Island]], facing [[Rambler Channel]]. It was the part of [[Kwai Tsing Container Terminals]]. The total site area is 1.5 square kilometres and the terminal itself comprises an area 0.68 km² and as long as 1.9 kilometres. The rest of land is for [[logistics]] and storage. When the terminal was built the sea bed was dredged (dug deeper) to accommodate the largest container vessels.

CT9 has 6 berths and a capacity of {{TEU|3 million|first=yes}}. The terminal was developed by 3 operators, [[Modern Terminals Ltd.]] (MTL), [[Hongkong International Terminals Ltd.]] (HIT), and [[Asia Container Terminals Limited]] (ACT). ACT got two [[Berth (moorings)|berth]]s from MTL for two berths in exchange for contribution in CT9. Current, HIT has 2 berths in CT9 and MTL owns the remaining 4. The berth were to be completed by the year 2005.
