in LegCo on 13.3.85
Question: Can this Council be advised how many
passengers were carried to and from Macau via the Kowloon/Macau ferry terminal in 1984 and, with the completion of the new Macau Ferry Terminal on Hong Kong Island, will the Kowloon/Macau ferry terminal continue in operation?
Secretary for Transport
Sir,
1.1 million passengers used the Kowloon to Macau ferry terminal in 1984.
Sealink Ferries Ltd., managed by the Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry Company, has a 3-year agreement with the Hong Kong Government expiring in September 1986 to operate Kowloon/Macau ferry services. The continued operation of the Macau ferry terminal at Sham Shui Po will be reviewed towards the end of the current 3-year agreement.
