The new pier started its operation on 30 August 2014.(see Star Ferry anouncement).

The earliest mention of Murray Pier I can find is from 24th January 1880 when His Excellency Lau Kwan-Yih, late Viceroy of Kwangtung and Kwangsi and Viceroy elect of Two Kiang arrived with his entourage in Hong Kong, landing at Murray Pier. (Source)

Demolished due to the Central Reclamation of the 1890's. A new pier was built on the foreshore. 

After the early 1900's dockyard reclamation a new Murray Pier was opened a few hundred feet to the west. The original Pier became part of the VRC. 

Update Nov 2022: Changed completion date from 1872 to 1873, and added guessed demolition date of 1883 based on Moddsey's notes below.

The date is a guess, based on the year 1872 mentioned in this paragraph from Carl T Smith's "Wanchai: In Search of an Identity":

Wikipedia gives the opening date as 22 March 1966, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_Terminal,_Hong_Kong
