NEW PUBLIC PIER AT SAI KUNG

A new public pier is to be built in Sai Kung to meet the

increasing demand for landing facilities by local villagers and picnickers

from urban areas.

It will be constructed on the eastern reclamation in front of

Sai Kung Town.

The existing piers in Sai Kung Town are of simple design and

are situated in shallow water. They are particularly overtaxed on

holidays and market days.

The proposed new pier will serve villagers from remote areas

travelling by sea to Sai Kung for marketing, and fishermen who come to

sell their catch.

Landing facilities will be provided for holiday makers to the

various beaches and islands for recreation and using Sai Kung as an

embarkation point.

Police launches and motorboat ferries will also be able to

berth at the new pier.
