The Civil Engineering & Development Department is inviting tenders for site formation works for the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Development. The deadline is noon on August 28.

The works include constructing an 1,100-metre-long seawall, as well as 850m-long berthing structures and about 150m-long associated transition structures at two ends.

The projects also provides for a 35m-wide apron area along the berthing length, and dredging of adjoining seabed to allow manoeuvring and berthing of cruise vessels with deep drafts.

The works will begin this December with target commission of the first berth to receive cruise vessels in mid-2013. The remaining works will be completed in 2014.
