Though described as a temporary pier, it was here for over 16 years.

Notes from Moddsey on http://gwulo.com/node/7000#comment-14020:

In November 1892, a contract was signed for the construction of a temporary pier opposite Ice House St for the purposes of accommodating ferry and other traffic plying from Pedder's Wharf and constructing Section No. 7 of the praya reclamation works.

Vehicular Ferry Pier - Tsing Yi Shell LPG Bunker [????- ]

Hi there,

Spotted this one while on a bus on-route to Siu Lam last week.  This pier is a mirror image of the one in Apleichau.  Realized it was Shell by way of the canisters painted in Royal Blue.

Best Regards,

When Connaught Road was the shoreline, there were many piers along the road.

At the eastern end was this pier, much smaller and plainer than its neighbours.

Western Market pier at Morrison Street / Connaught Road for ferries to Mong Kok & Sham Shui Po [????-????]

Submitted by David on Fri, 2011-09-16 11:58

This pier is shown on Plate 3-5a of Mapping Hong Kong, marked "Ferry to Mong Kok & Sham Shui Po".

On Plate 3-5b it is simply marked "Govt Pier", probably because the ferry services had re-located to the then new Vehicular Ferry Pier between Jubilee Street and Queen Victoria Street.

Former Sai Wan Ho Vehicular Ferry Pier [1985-1991]

Hi there,

I could not remember exactly where was the old pier.   There used to be both a passenger ferry pier and a vehicular pier there.  The marker's location is just an approximation.  The pier was gone when Aldrich Bay was filled up for redevelopment in early 1980's.

Best Regards,

Vehicular Ferry Pier, Discovery Bay [1982- ]

Hi there,

I have not been to Disco Bay for over 20 years.  But I remember they had such a facility before they have highway access basically for residents' moving in or out.  Yaumati Ferry used to have  special arrangements with the developer for such ferry  service.  Don't know if the pier had been demolished or not.  The marker above is just an approximate location.  Correction welcome.

Any updates concerning if the pier is still there are welcomed as well.

Best Regards,

T
