On the website of The Industrial History of Hong Kong Group is an entry regarding the location of the Ah King Slipway:

1950 The government offered a piece of land opposite No. 98 Hing Fat Street, where Tung Lo Wan Fire Stations is today

1980 The Island Eastern Corridor was constructed and completed in 1986. The flyover beams or the corridor was partially blocking access to the slipway and the slipway on repaired small boats.

The photo shows the situation before the construction of the Island Eastern Corridor. 

 

 

The building under construction on the left is the Belle House, located at 23-35 Whitfield Road. It was completed in September 1977.
