Post-war the O.S.K. building and pier became known as Custodian Wharf. The Hedda Morrison Collection has a photo of Custodian Wharf here (search for Bustling Activity on the Macao Ferry Pier,,,,,,,,) from 1946/47. The 1957.1 map at https://www.hkmaps.hk/mapviewer.html  also shows the wharf. I guess at the end of WWII, the Government became the custodian of enemy property and thus the name.

Think the pier was still in use around 1960. Part of the entrance building can be seen at the extreme right side.
