For the fireworks display on the following evening, May 5, the

spokesman said the portion of the harbour area between the line joining

the Cust Rock Light Beacon at Hung Hom and the light beacon on the eastern

arm of the Causeway Bay typhoon shelter, on the east, and the line between

Holt's wharf and the Wan Chai Ferry on the weet, would be completely closed to marine traffic between 8 p.m. and 9 p.m.

In addition, no movement either in or out of both the Causeway

Bay typhoon shelter and the Wan Chai public cargo working area would be

permitted.

"All owners of sight-seeing boats, yachts, and pleasure craft

wishing to see the fireworks display at sea should be in position east of the eastern boundary (the 'line joining the Cust Rock Light Beacon at

. Hung Hom and the light beacon on the eastern arm of the Causeway Bay typhoon

shelter) before 8 p.m. Again, Marine Department and police launches will

be in the area to direct traffic," the spokesman said.

For the water pageant on May 6, the spokesman regretted that

since all fishing craft normally berthed in Aberdeen harbour would have.

returned for the Tin Hau festival, no space would be available for visiting

craft of any kind.

"In these circumstances, it would not be possible for the pageant

to be observed from a position at sea, and intending owners of pleasure craft

and watertour operators are requested to keep clear of the Aberdeen Harbour

area," the spokesman said.

Vessels wishing to get to or move out from their moorings in the

area should do so before 2.30 p.m. when the harbour will be closed. It will

be reopened again after the festivities are over at about 6 p.m.
