SHIPS ALERTED FOR HARBOUR PROCESSION
The Marine Department today advised all ships to watch out
for vessels participating in the Hong Kong Festival Floating Procession
this Sunday (November 25).
Shipmastors, harbour pilots and coxswains of local craft
navigating in the harbour should proceed with caution and give every
practicable consideration to the participating vessels, a spokesman for
the department said.
The procession, which starts at 11 a.m. on Sunday, will comprise
a total of 40 craft of various types and decorations, sailing at three
to four mots.
They will start from Yaumatei Typhoon Shelter and proceed along
the Ocean Torminal, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hunghom, North Point, Wanchai, Central
and West Point before reaching the final stop in Aberdeen Harbour.
On the way, after passing the point off Hunghon, the vessels
will turn right across the harbour to North Point and will sail round
Buoy Al off Central at about 1 p.m. before moving on to West Point.
The procession is expected to last five hours and should
end at about 4 P.E.
