Cruise terminal construction starts

April 08, 2011

Chief Executive Donald Tsang officiated at the foundation stone laying ceremony for the Cruise Terminal Building at Kai Tak today, which will berth the largest cruise vessels in the world. He was joined by Acting Secretary for Commerce & Economic Development Gregory So and Secretary for Development Carrie Lam.

 

The Government has funded its design and construction, and will lease it for management and operation. The terminal and first berth will open in mid-2013. The second berth will be commissioned in 2014 after dredging works on the seabed are completed.

 

The terminal will feature environmentally friendly facilities to provide world-class services to passengers, with a commercial area of 5,600 square metres and a landscaped deck with open space for public enjoyment.
