From the Public Works Report for the fiscal year 1956/57:
203. The installation of the two electrically operated passenger lifts and six approach ramps was completed early in the year and the pier was opened by the Director (Hon. T. L. Bowring, C.M.G., O.B.E.) on the 3rd July. The Hong Kong Yaumati Ferry Co. commenced their regular service from this pier to Wanchai on the following day.
Both piers still exist but only the passenger pier is still in service. Well, only half of it as the Northern side had been affected by the construction of Central Kowloon Route. Even on the Southern side they have to use a barge.
The vehicular Pier is sort of derelict. The steel parts had been rusting off quite a bit.

Hi Klaus,
Both piers still exist but only the passenger pier is still in service. Well, only half of it as the Northern side had been affected by the construction of Central Kowloon Route. Even on the Southern side they have to use a barge.
The vehicular Pier is sort of derelict. The steel parts had been rusting off quite a bit.
