A aerial photo from 3 November 1988 indicates the demolition of the 1979 pier. Unfortunately the photo has low resolution only and it's not clear to see, but the high number of boats near the pier supports the demolition.

Temporary pier is in use already, and a Star ferry is at it's pier.

I thought it would be valuable to collect all comments and create a summary of the development. This might not be fully correct, so any comments are welcome.
