Construction of ferry berths on Lamma Island

The Civil Engineering Department (CED) is inviting tenders for the construction of ferry berths at Sok Kwu Wan, Lamma Island.

The works comprise the construction of an approximately 75-metre long piled- deck type public pier with two berths and a roof cover.

A spokesman for the CED said: "Upon completion, one berth of the pier will be used non-exclusively by the ferries of Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited and the other berth will be for public use.

"To enhance the aesthetical appearance of the pier structure, a lively wing- shaped roof cover design is adopted instead of the conventional flat roof type. The structure will become a prominent feature and add touristic value to the island," he added.

Construction is expected to start in January 1996 and will take about 18 months

to complete.

The works have been designed by Port Works Division of the Civil Engineering Office, CED. The division will also supervise the construction.

Tender forms and further particulars can be obtained from the Chief Engineer, Port Works Division, Civil Engineering Office, CED, fifth floor, Civil Engineering Building, 101 Princess Margaret Road, Kowloon,

Tender offers will close at noon on October 27.
