The Government Annual Report for 1966 refers:

On Hong Kong Island the seawall for the central reclamation scheme was completed, although lack of public dumping prevented the completion of the reclamation work. To cater for air-conditioning demands in the central district 51 pumphouses were constructed behind this seawall. The new Outside Harbour Services Pier was completed and put into service in August and a new Government Pier was also completed up to main deck level.

The pier was located on reclaimed land in front of Connaught Road east of todays Gilman Street. It provided services to Kwun Tong, Silvermine Bay, and Cheung Chau.

The next phase of reclamation started 1993/94, aerial photographs show the existence in February 1995, gone in December 1995.
