IMPROVEMENT TO MACAU FERRY WHARF
The Macau Ferry Terminal is to be expended so an interim measure
to cope with the large number of travellers using the terminal.
In the meantime, a long-term plan is being considered to ease
the overcrowding at the terminal building.
In the short term development, additional bays will be constructed
at the eastern end of the complex and the existing eastern section will
be expanded northwards to provide additional public spaces, office accommodation
and toilets.
The southern side of this section of the complex has also been
replanned to give more covered waiting space for departing passengers,
enabling them to move more rapidly through the terminal.
The passenger processing areas, where travellers await document
checks, will be air-conditioned to make the wait more pleasant.
A new transformer house will also be built to cater for the
increased demand in electrical loading.
Work is expected to begin in October, and will take about four
months to complete.
On completion, the present overcrowding at the Macau Ferry Terminal
should be relieved considerably.
