In an attempt to stop the operations of the new PCWA, some operators have deployed 13 unmanned barges to block the two entrances to the Tuen Mun Typhoon Shelter and the new PCWA which is within the typhoon shelter area, stopping not only cargo operators to the new PCWA but also vessels entering or leaving the typhoon shelter.
"This is a total disregard to the well-being of the floating community which needs to get into an out the Tuen Mun Typhoon Shelter for business," Mr Tang said.
"The unmanned barges also threaten the safety of other marine traffic and ignoring public safety."
Launches from the Marine Department and the Marine Police are directing traffic in the area. The department is making arrangement to remove the unmanned barges to resume free access to the typhoon shelter and the new PCWA.
