(a.) Pier opposite Queen Victoria Street.

--As stated in paragraph 107 of last year's report, a contract for the construction of a reinforced concrete roof over part of the pier and the erection of offices, &c., was awarded to Mr. Chan Tai Kee. This work was completed on the 31st May, and in June, the Yaumati Ferry Service was transferred from the wooden pier opposite Jubilee Street to this new concrete pier.

Located at Connaught Road opposite to the end of Pottinger Street.

The Public Works Report for 1898 refers:

In 1902, a public auction was held to obtain "the right of erecting and maintaining piers over Crown Fore-shore". This was successful for three piers including the one " End of Sutherland Street". 

Estimated start of operation is 1903, end about 1980 when the next phase of reclamation started. On the 1945 map on Gwulo the name of the pier is given as Sai Kong Wharf.

This wharf was opposite Cleverly Street on Connaught Road and opposite M.L. 209. It appears first on the 1901.3 map on hkmaps.hk. The Public Works Report for 1899 refers: 

The Tai On Steam-ship Company are new erecting a permanent timber wharf at the foot of Cleverly Street.

Opened probably in 1900. Although the name Pasig does not appear, quite likely this is the pier mentioned in the report.

The Government Annual Report for 1964 refers:

The next step of reclamation started at the end of the 1890s. This work extended the seashore from DesVoeux to Connaught Road. The older pier extended further out into the sea (beyond the new praya), the new one possibly used parts of the old one; or it was built completely new. 

The Public Works Report for 1900 refers:

HongKong Canton & Macao Steamboat Co.was formed in 1865. The company operated ferry services between Hong Kong, Canton (Guangzhou) and Macao.

The first pier (or wharf) was built at the praya that existed after the 1850/60 reclamation (today's DesVoeux Road), east of today's Man Wa Lane (oppositeM.L. 22). It is easily visible on the 1889 map on hkmaps.hk.
