LARGE TSING YI SITE EARMARKED FOR SHIP-REPAIRING YARD
The government intends to grant about 12.2 acres of land along the
south-west coast of Tsing Yi Island for a ship-repairing yard which will be
capable of handling large ocean-going ships.
It is proposed to grant the land, comprising an area of foreshore
and sea bed, to the Island Navigation Corporation.
The extent of the area involved is described in a notification in
today's gazette which calls upon all persons having objections to the proposal
or any claim of private right to submit such objections or claims in writing
to the Director of Public Works within two months.
The notice,in both English and Chinese, can also be seen on the notice
board posted near the site.
