history

As early as the 1920s, the Yau Ma Tei Ferry once operated a ferry route from central to Tai O, passing through Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan, Ting Kau, Castle Peak Bay, etc. But the route is more circuitous, the voyage takes 2 to 3 hours, and only one flight a day. This route is the earliest traffic from Tuen Mun to Hong Kong Island.

After the completion of Tuen Mun new town, there is a great demand for transportation. In order to ease the burden of Tuen Mun Road, the ferry company took into consideration the demand from Tuen Mun to Hong Kong Island. On October 19, 1981, a new route was opened from Tuen Mun to central. Hydrofoil boats were used for the whole route, providing services from morning to evening. In 1981, the Hong Kong government first built a temporary Wharf in the south of Yau oi estate (that is, near Fung King Yuen). The Hong Kong government later decided to build a temporary wharf A permanent ferry terminal in Butterfly Bay was completed and opened in November 1986. In the early days, the terminal provided the flying boat service to central, which took only 40 minutes to get to central and was welcomed by local residents. As a result, not only catamaran services will be added in the future, but also routes from Tuen Mun to Wan Chai and from central to gold coast will be added. In 1991, local people in Tuen Mun District proposed to set up Macao route at Tuen Mun wharf. However, the government refused the proposal for the reasons of insufficient wharf space, excessive investment and unsatisfied cross-border Wharf at that time.

However, with the relocation of the Central Pier and the completion of the Western Harbour Crossing in 1997, KMB line 960 (between Tuen Mun Kin Sang estate and Wan Chai pier, via Leung king, Tai Hing, Tuen Mun Town Centre, Tuen Mun Road, Ting Kau Bridge, Cheung Tsing tunnel, West Kowloon Expressway, Sheung Wan, central and Admiralty) and Cross Harbour Tunnel bus line 961 (between Shan King and Wan Chai pier) will pass through the Western Harbour Crossing to Hong Kong Island After the operation of Tuen Mun Town Hall, Anding Youai shopping mall, Haidian Pavilion, Tuen Mun Road, Ting Kau Bridge, Cheung Tsing tunnel, West Kowloon Expressway, Sheung Wan, central and Admiralty, the time between Tuen Mun and Hong Kong Island was greatly reduced, and the fare was lower than that of ferry (at that time, the fare of ferry was more than HK $20, and the interchange fee was not included) In addition, there is no need to change trains. As a result, most of the ferry passengers are taken away. As a result, the Hong Kong ferry has been taken over by Sindh shipping since April 1, 1999, but the passenger volume has not improved.

In addition, the opening of route 962 of Citybus Cross Harbour Tunnel bus (from the south of Tuen Mun to Hong Kong Island) in the first half of 1998 made the passenger volume of the ferry even worse. Finally, the route was permanently suspended in July 2000. The nearly 80 year history of ferry service from Tuen Mun to central has officially come to an end.

Discovery Bay shipping also operated routes to and from Chek Lap Kok pier and Tung Chung development pier. It was closed in 2003 and taken over by new ferry. In 2004, due to the closure of Chek Lap Kok pier, it was changed to Tung Chung to and from Tuen Mun and was closed in 2008.

The new ferry also operated ferry services to and from Tuen Mun, Tung Chung, Sha Lo Wan and Tai O. in 2008, it was replaced by the affluent ferry and the Huifeng Park Public Pier.

On March 23, 2009, the route between Tuen Mun and Tung Chung operated by Fu Fu ferry was transferred from Tuen Mun pier.

ferry service

The eastern berth of Tuen Mun wharf was originally the ferry service between Tuen Mun and Tung Chung operated by new world first ferry. Due to serious losses, it has been closed since July 1, 2008. Since September 16, 2008, the original Tuen Mun to Tai O (via Tung Chung and Sha Lo WAN) route of Fuyu ferry has been provided with direct flights from Tuen Mun to Tung Chung. The other three are cross-border ferry services between Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai (suspended) and Shekou in Shenzhen.

Positioning development

In 2003, the Hong Kong government decided to develop the Tuen Mun terminal as the third cross-border terminal in Hong Kong. At the end of the year, a public tender was invited. Finally, northwest shipping won the bid. Initially, the route to Macao will be opened, and in the long run, it will be extended to the Pearl River Delta. After many delays, the reconstruction project of the wharf was officially started on June 23, 2005 and is expected to be completed in March 2006. At that time, the terminal will have three berths, which can handle 800 transit passengers per hour.

Cross border ferry services

In 2003, the Hong Kong government finally decided to develop the Tuen Mun terminal into the third cross-border terminal in Hong Kong. At the end of the year, the port authority of the government of the Macao Special Administrative Region rejected the application because of the technical and safety considerations such as the non blowing of berths at foreign ports. As the application was not approved, the contractor northwest shipping changed the sea passenger service to Zhuhai Jiuzhou Port. The long-term plan of the terminal is to extend the route to the Pearl River Delta and insist on the successful opening of Macao route.

After many delays, the reconstruction project of the wharf was officially started on June 23, 2005, completed in early September 2006, opened on November 3, 2006, and officially set sail on November 4, 2006. The cross border terminal has three berths and can handle 800 passengers per hour.

Kyushu development, a listed company, and Kyushu port, its parent company, hold 49% and 51% of Zhuhai high-speed passenger ships respectively. It has formed an alliance with northwest shipping, a sister company of OMAX holdings, another listed company, and opened the route between Tuen Mun and Kyushu port in Zhuhai on November 4. Jiuzhou Development has invested 40 million yuan to buy two high-speed passenger ships "haichi" and "Haikun" and provide crew for the route, while northwest shipping is responsible for investing in supporting terminals. Zhuhai high-speed passenger ship plans to spend another 40 million yuan to buy two high-speed passenger ships to meet the future demand of Tuen Mun Macau route.

On June 15, 2007, northwest shipping added another route from Tuen Mun to Shekou.

However, on October 10, 2007, northwest shipping announced that the route between Tuen Mun and Zhuhai would be suspended from October 11 until further notice. The ferry service between Tuen Mun and Shekou remained unchanged.

On September 15, 2016, the route from Tuen Mun to Zhuhai Kyushu port was re operated, but it took 1 hour and 45 minutes to bypass Hong Kong International Airport.
