The sign reads Hau Tak Wharf. On the maps available, this name does not appear. However, there is a very similar photo here that is from a similar date. On the MMIS photo, single tracks with a slight curvature are visible. The only place that matches is at the Cleverly Street junction with Connaught Road. Therefore this should be Pasig/Po Tak Wharf.
I found a mention of Hau Tak in this Google search, which says it comes from a PWD Annual Report. Except I can't find that text in the PWD's report for 1912 or 1913!
The funnel of the ship is grey with a black ring at the top. If you look at this photo, the third ship has a similar funnel. To me it looks as if there is one ship at the first, and two at the second one. The one with the grey/black funnel is on the right-hand side of the pier, the same side as in the photo above.

Could be a hint (if not a proof).
The tram tracks on the MMIS photo make me quite sure of the location.
Hau Tak Wharf
With Google search, I found the following entry: In the book 香港歷史明信片精選 (Selected Postcards from Hong Kong History) [only snippet view]
The Hau Tak Wharf at the junction of Cleverly Street and Connaught Road , just two blocks from the Hong Kong ...
This is another proof that Hau Tak Wharf and Pasig Wharf are the same pier with different names.
