On 1955 jun 28, Steamer Lee Hong left the HK-Macau shipping alliance. The alliance was established in 1950 which consisted of 7 steamers. They were Tak Shing, Tai Loy, Fatshan, Lee Hong, Kwangtung, Kwang fu cheong, Kamshing. In order to avoid cut-throat competition, Lee Hong agreed to stop operating its steamer and received a subsidy $23,000 every month from the alliance. In the first half of 1955, only 3 steamers Tak shing, Tai Loy and Fatshan were running. But Lee Hong announced it would start running starting July 1 and dock at Tai Yip pier.
