Question 9

Reply to question by the Hon. F.K. Hu

in LegCo on 13.3.85

Question: Can this Council be advised how many

passengers were carried to and from Macau via the Kowloon/Macau ferry terminal in 1984 and, with the completion of the new Macau Ferry Terminal on Hong Kong Island, will the Kowloon/Macau ferry terminal continue in operation?

Secretary for Transport

Sir,

1.1 million passengers used the Kowloon to Macau ferry terminal in 1984.

Sealink Ferries Ltd., managed by the Hongkong & Yaumati Ferry Company, has a 3-year agreement with the Hong Kong Government expiring in September 1986 to operate Kowloon/Macau ferry services. The continued operation of the Macau ferry terminal at Sham Shui Po will be reviewed towards the end of the current 3-year agreement.
