MORE BOAT-BUILDING YARDS FOR ALDRICH BAY
Seven boat-building yards will be built on an area of about 4.5 acres
to be reclaimed on the northern side of A Kung Ngam, Hong Kong Island, as part of the Aldrich Bay Reclamation Scheme.
The yards will supplement the existing ones, and reclamation work
will be planned so that interference to their work is kept to a minimum..
The near-shore area south of this reclamation has been reserved for
road formation to provide transport links with Shau Kei Wan and other areas.
There are also plans to reclaim the seabed to the eastern and western
side of the A Kung Ngam reclamation. A ferry concourse will be built on the
eastern side, and a salt water pumping station and a wholesale fish market will
be built on the western side.
Reclamation work is expected to begin towards the end of this year,
and will take about one year to complete.
