The MTR South Island Line (SIL) in Hong Kong has entered revenue service at the end of 2016. SIL is the first urban metro line run by Fully Automatic Operation (FAO) in Hong Kong and will connect the densely populated district of Ap Lei Chau. The line is 7km long and has four new stations.
For this line, Alstom supplied its proven CBTC signalling solution, Urbalis 400, which will enable FAO and enhance rail service with a high level of reliability and more flexibility in train deployment. It also supplied track works and overhead contact systems. In addition, Alstom also supplied OpTONIX traction systems and TCMS for 30 metro cars.
Alstom Hong Kong was in charge of the overall management for the three contracts. Alstom Saint-Ouen site in France, Bangalore site in India and joint venture in China, CASCO, provided support for delivering the signaling system. Alstom Charleroi site in Belgium and Alstom joint venture in China, Shanghai Alstom Transport Electrical Equipment Co. Ltd, supplied traction and TCMS systems.
