“ The best ferry services in the world ..."

Hong Kong has been credited with “ the best ferry services in the world ”, and they need to be to

cope with the millions of passengers and vehicles carried each year, shuttling busily backwards and for

wards from early morning until the small hours of the next day.

The Hong Kong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited operates a fleet of 69 diesel-engined ferries

of which 14 are vehicle ferries. The company maintains 11 ferry routes inside the harbour between

Hong Kong Island and Kowloon , of which three are vehicle ferry routes .

The vehicle ferry routes consist of a combined passenger-vehicle link between the Central District

and Yau Ma Tei in Kowloon, a new route for vehicles only between North Point and Kowloon City

recently introduced, and a double-decker vehicle ferry service between the Central District and Yau Ma

Tei which has been newly converted from a single-decker service .

Ferries to outlying districts call atMa Wan, Castle Peak, Tung Chung, Sha Lo Wan and Tai O ;

Peng Chau , Silver Mine Bay, Chi Ma Wan and Cheung Chau ; Tsing Yi Island and Tsuen Wan, and

Sok Kwu Wan and Yung Shue Wan on Lamma Island. There is also a service from Tai Po Kau to

Tap Mun in Tolo Harbour.

During 1965, 155.5 million passengers and 4.1 million vehicles were carried, an increase of 7.5 per

cent and 12.2 per cent respectively over 1964. Vehicle ferry traffic has grown at the remarkable rate

of 20 per cent a year since 1960.

Thecompany has a depot with three slipways and a building berth for the servicing and construc

tion of ferries. Four new ferries came into service during the year. They were two new double- ended

ferries each 146 feet in length overall and 27 feet in breadth moulded, with a carrying capacity of 734

persons, and two new passenger-vehicle ferries each 170 feet in length overall and 42 feet in breadth

moulded, with a carrying capacity of 846 persons and 40 vehicles .

An excursion ferry cruise operated during the summer months provides themost economical and

popular 24 hours cruise around Hong Kong Island. Fares are HK $ 2.50 per adult, HK $ 1.50

per child i.e. US $ .43 per adult, US $ .26 per child or 3s. 2d. per adult, Is. 10d. per child.

INTRODUCTION

The first edition of the port of Hong

Kong handbook was well received

throughout the world and it is the

hope of the Marine Department that

this second edition will be of some

further service to those whose business

is concerned with the carriage of

goods by sea .

It explains the complexities of the

organisation of this great seaport and

provides factual information on the

facilities and services offered to all

port users .

DEN

I wish to place on record my

appreciation of the assistance rendered

by those firms which have so willingly

contributed information of their activ

ities for inclusion in this handbook .

THE HISTORY OF HONG KONG resettlement estates) where rents start as low as

HK $ 12.50 a month . In the financial year 1965-66 ,

Hong Kong has been a British Crown Colony HK $567 million was spent on public works, HK $245

since 1842. The Treaty of Nanking, under which

Hong Kong Island was ceded to Britain , stated million on education, and HK $ 162 million on

medical services (the Hong Kong dollar is equal

British subjects should have some port whereat to 1s. 3d. Sterling, US 17.7 cents). Two new class

These acquisitions brought the land area to 3981

land was much less important than the harbour that This reproduction from an oil painting shows the

ivory or jade embodying the timeless skills of still

little -known Cathay.

Upon the steeply -rising Aanks of Hong Kong

Island were erected the first offices of banks and

merchant companies whose names are today known

the world round. In an era often marked by violent

change, Hong Kong established a reputation for

stability, integrity and progress. Chinese immi

grants who had come to the Colony to make their

fortunes stayed to make their homes . The popula

tion, numbering only a few thousand fishermen and

pirates when the British came, began to increase

rapidly. By the turn of the century it was 100,000 ;

the first census in 1931 showed it to be 840,000.

Then , as war Aared between China and Japan,

came an avalanche of people that threatened to

submerge Hong Kong. It was estimated that 100,000

people entered the Colony in 1937, 500,000 in

1938 , and 150,000 in 1939. By the end of 1941

there was an estimated population of 1,600,000 . *****

The increase has continued in the post-war years .

An estimated one million people have entered the

Colony from China since 1949 and more than

108,000 births are recorded annually. The result is a

population approaching four millions.

In the past 15 years Hong Kong has emerged as

a major manufacturing centre and has ceased to

rely on its role as aa trading port. The harbour

remains as important as ever it was, however, for

all raw materials are brought from overseas and

the finished products must be exported if Hong

Kong is to survive. This new industrial economy,

of which the port is an integral and indispensable

part, has generated new prosperity in Hong Kong.

This in turn has enabled the Hong Kong Govern

ment to carry out a social programme unequalled

in Asia . More than 870,000 people live in govern

GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION

The Colony of Hong Kong lies between : latitude

22° 09' north and 22 ° 37 ' north ; longitude 113 ° 52'

east and 114° 30' east.

GEOGRAPHY

Hong Kong lies just within the tropics on the

south-eastern coast of China. The Colony consists

of 236 islands and islets , many of them waterless

and uninhabited , and a portion of the Chinese

mainland east of the Pearl River estuary adjoining

the province of Kwangtung. With the exception

of the southern and north -western parts of the

Kowloon peninsula, the whole of the territory is

mountainous and rugged . Land for building

purposes is obtained largely by reclaiming the

harbour or by levelling hills.

Hong Kong Island, 11 miles from east to west

with a maximum width of five miles, rises steeply

from the sea to a range of hills whose highest point

is 1,823 feet.

The magnificent natural harbour, which is

almost land-locked, has an area of 23 square miles.

It varies in width from one to six miles and is one

of the finest and most beautiful harbours in the

world .

SURVEY GRID

All surveys in Hong Kong are plotted on the

Colony grid which is a Cassini plane rectangular

one with a false origin south-west of the Colony.

Urban Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New

Kowloon are surveyed at the large scale of 1/600

( 50 feet to 1 inch) because of the congested and

crowded conditions in the built-up areas .

HOW HONG KONG IS GOVERNED

The principal features of the constitution are

prescribed in Letters Patent, which provide for a

Governor, an Executive Council, and a Legislative

Council . The Executive Council, which is presided

over by the Governor, consists of five ex officio

and nine nominated members . The nominated

members include eight unofficials, of whom four

are Chinese and one Portuguese. The main func

tion of the Executive Council is to advise the

Governor, who must consult its members on all

important matters .

Four ex officio members serve on the Legislative

Council , which is also presided over by the Governor.

In addition there are eight other official members

and 13 unofficial members . Of these unofficials,

nine are Chinese and one Indian . Procedure in

the Legislative Council is based on that of the

House of Commons.

THE ECONOMY

Although no special benefits are available to

industry by way of profits tax or protective tariffs,

the facility with which industry can be established

and conducted in Hong Kong has proved attractive

to local and overseas investors. Apart from duties The Legislative Council is seen in session above.

on tobacco, alcohol , hydrocarbon oils , methyl

alcohol and table waters, Hong Kong is a free port. The Council is presided over by the Governor.

Throughout its history the Colony has adhered to There are twelve official members of the Council,

free trade .

The variety of goods produced by local industry

is considerable . Further diversification is likely for

there are many factors favouring industrial develop

ment. The most important of these are low taxation,

plentiful productive labour, the advantages of a

free port, excellent shipping and commercial

facilities, and freedom from locally-imposed trade

restriction . These, in general, more than com

pensate for the absence of raw materials and the

scarcity of land suitable for industrial purposes.

BANKING

The Banking Ordinance 1964, provides that

banking business shall be transacted in the Colony

only by a company licensed for that purpose. Each

bank is required to have a minimum paid -up

capital of $5 million , or the equivalent in foreign

currency , and to build up published reserves of an

amount equal to its paid - up capital . At the end of

1965 there were 74 incorporated banks in the

Colony, of which 34 were incorporated in Hong

Kong. A total of 301 banking offices were main

tained , and a total of 51 banks were authorized to LUB.AMERICAN MACH CO .

service.

Modern factories make goods for export in a

wide range of price and product. Domestic

exports in 1965 were $ 5,027 million. The textile

and garment manufacturing industries exported

52 per cent by value of this total.

PORT REVIEW FOR THE YEAR ENDING

31ST MARCH , 1966

For the twelve months ending on the 31st March ,

1966 , 6,378 ocean-going vessels of 20,564,152 net

tons entered the port compared with 6,276 vessels

and 19,882,114 net tons at the corresponding date

in the previous year. The number of ocean - going

vessels entering the port continues to increase and

has in fact risen by 6.5 % over the last four years.

The number of vessels cleared has shown a similar

increase. During the year a total of 6,942,406 tons

of cargo was discharged and the deadweight tonnage

of cargo loaded , 2,290,148 tons, has increased by

18.8 % in the last four years .

In common with other major ports, Hong Kong

continues to attract an ever-increasing number of

vessels of greater tonnage, carrying more cargoes

both to and from the port. To meet the demands

likely to be made on the port in the future, emphasis

has been put on forward planning. A modern

ocean terminal was opened in March, 1966 , and a

new tanker terminal at Nga Ying Chau , capable

of accommodating vessels of 60,000 gross tons,

came into operation in January of the same year.

The ocean terminal provides 74 acres of wharf and

transit shed space at ground level , together with

passenger facilities, a shopping centre and car

parks on the floors above. The terminal was built

with the assistance of substantial grants and loans

from the government. Other improvements to

port facilities include the recent introduction of

double - deck vehicle ferries within the harbour,

believed to be the only such service in the world.

The implementation of a scheme to increase the

working efficiency of the western harbour, where

the majority of ocean moorings are located , has

resulted in 12 additional mooring buoys being laid

during the last two years , and others have been

resited and renumbered while anchorages and

fairways have been re -aligned and marked in

accordance with the uniform system of buoyage .

At the end of the year, 64 mooring buoys were

available for ocean-going vessels and the full im

plementation of the scheme will result in a total

of 73 mooring buoys being available by the beginning

of 1968 .

In the early months of 1965 international recogni

tion was accorded Hong Kong's position as a

centre of recruitment of seamen in the invitation

extended to the Colony to send a delegation to

the Second Asian Maritime Conference in Tokyo .

This Conference was sponsored by the Interna

tional Labour Organisation and it was in the spirit

of the International Labour Organisation's Con

vention on the subject that a Seamen's Recruiting

Office was established in Hong Kong in 1965 .

$70 million ocean terminal, centrally situated at

the tip of the Kowloon peninsula. Officially opened

in March, 1966, by the Governor, Sir David Trench,

the terminal provides berthing space for four ocean

going liners and 190,000 square feet of platform

space on its marine deck for cargo -handling facilities.

It is 1,250 feet long, 250 feet wide and 75 feet high.

It is therefore within the limits of safety for a Class and the remainder “ B ” Class.

LOAD LINE RULES

The maximum depths to which a ship is entitled

to be loaded at different seasons in various parts

of the world are laid down in Part XI of the Load

Line Rules , 1958 , and the various zones and seasonal

areas are described in the Third Schedule. These

Rules are extended to Hong Kong by virtue of the

Merchant Shipping Load Line Convention (Hong

Kong) No. 1 Order, 1938. A chart of the zones and

seasonal areas is reproduced in Page 76, and from

this it can be seen that Hong Kong is on the border

line of a seasonal tropical and a summer zone. Ship

masters must, therefore, exercise considerable care

in loading their vessels so as not to exceed the

appropriate marks, taking into consideration their

route to and from Hong Kong and the season of the

year.

WHARVES AND WHARF CHARGES

The wharves used by commercial shipping Wwere

built and are maintained by companies which have

exclusive control of their operation , ownership

having been vested in them by lease from the

Hong Kong Government since 1950. The Hong

Kong & Kowloon Wharf & Godown Co. Ltd. oper

ates six ocean berths on the Kowloon peninsula .

In addition, an ocean terminal pier caters for four

average size vessels or two large passenger ships.

A further two ocean berths are operated on the

Kowloon peninsula by Holt's Wharf. Details are

given in Page 50.

TOREA OOR

On Hong Kong Island , North Point Wharves

Ltd. operate two ocean berths. The Taikoo Sugar

Refining Co. Ltd. also have two ocean berths at a

berths at a pier in the same locality which are also

only suitable for coastal vessels.

Details of these facilities are listed with current

wharf charges . Details are given in Page 50.

GODOWNS

Warehouses and transit sheds are referred to

in Asia as godowns. The total godown capacity

available for the storage of goods in Hong Kong is

among the most commodious of any port in the

world . Apart from general cargo, there are facilities

for the storage of grain , sugar, four, refrigerated

goods and dangerous goods . Details are given in

Page 65 .

The ocean berths of the Hong Kong & Kowloon

CARGO HANDLING ( GENERAL )

F i n Most cargo handled in Hong Kong is at some

stage transported by lighter. Several

lighters and junks are used for this purpose and

hundred

nearly 900 have engines. This mechanised fleet is

expected to continue growing, as it is a type of

transport particularly suited to the handling and

delivery of the small parcels of cargo which make

up a considerable proportion of the tonnage

handled in the port. Details of lighters available,

their hire rate and lighterage charges are shown

CARGO HANDLING EQUIPMENT

Usually ship's gear is used for loading or

discharging cargo alongside wharves or in the

stream , but heavy lifting gear is available in the

port when required. The wharf and godown com

panies are fully alive to the advantages and increased

efficiency resulting from mechanisation and the

most modern equipment is available for the rapid

and safe movement of goods between godowns,

ships and lighters. Details are given in Page 54–57 .

DANGEROUS GOODS

Dangerous goods on board ships in Hong Kong

are controlled by the Marine Department under

the provisions of the Dangerous Goods Ordinance,

1956. The Dangerous Goods ( Shipping) Regula

tions, 1964 control, among other things, the move

ments of three different types of vessels and the

precautions required in the loading, discharging

or conveying of dangerous goods while these

vessels are in Hong Kong waters. The procedure

for reporting dangerous goods on board and the

penalties for the contravention of, or non - compli

ance with, the regulations are also prescribed . All

substances considered dangerous are classified in

the Dangerous Goods ( Classification) Regulations

1964. Categories in these regulations are based

upon recommendations made from time to time

by the British Ministry of Transport.

Mechanical cargo handling equipment is used

extensively by the wharf companies for the

efficient and safe movement of goods between

ship and godown. Storage space is adequate for

all types of cargo.

Tank Erection by Chicago Bridge ( Philippines) Inc.

Site formation and tank foundation work involving the excavation of 170,000 c.y.

of hillside and the reclamation of 6 acres of sea bed together with the construction

of 2,240 ft. of seawall commenced in January 1965 and had advanced sufficiently

by May 1965 for tank erection to commence. Final completion including all foun

dation, drainage and bund works was achieved in February 1966.

The tanker berth was constructed for vessels of 65,000 tons displacement — the

largest berth of its kind in Hong Kong. The facility includes also duplicate berths

for 1,500 tons local service tankers and fendering for barges and lighters. Construc

tion commenced in August 1965 and the first tanker to discharge its cargo at Nga

Ying Chau was berthed 4 months later in mid -December 1965.

We sniff for ships in fragrant harbour

Pardon the euphemism. Fact is , the way our

six, fost Lighters scurry around Hong Kong Harbour

looking for ships to bunker, they remind us of a

pack of Beogle Hounds on the trail. Why, almost

before you put down the phone to call us (891315)

there they are yopping at your gangway.

Before you know it, your ship is all fuelled up

and ready to sail.

Seriously though, we are proud of our fast bunkering

and oiling service to shipping in Hong Kong. We can

offer both lighterage and shore oiling facilities.

And we don't only do this for big liners. We look

after cargo ships and tankers , navies and tramp

steamers. We've also got the most modern

laboratories in this part of the world to help out with

fuel or lubrication problems. It's a free service too .

Chief Engineers think a lot of us for this.

May we suggest that you call us at 891315 ?

Is that barking we hear ?
