Hi there,

Spotted this one while on a bus on-route to Siu Lam last week.  This pier is a mirror image of the one in Apleichau.  Realized it was Shell by way of the canisters painted in Royal Blue.

Hi there,

I could not remember exactly where was the old pier.   There used to be both a passenger ferry pier and a vehicular pier there.  The marker's location is just an approximation.  The pier was gone when Aldrich Bay was filled up for redevelopment in early 1980's.

ps. The Vehicular ferry route here went to Kwun Tong.  Could not recall if vehicular only double deckers were used.

Hi there,

I have not been to Disco Bay for over 20 years.  But I remember they had such a facility before they have highway access basically for residents' moving in or out.  Yaumati Ferry used to have  special arrangements with the developer for such ferry  service.  Don't know if the pier had been demolished or not.  The marker above is just an approximate location.  Correction welcome.

Any updates concerning if the pier is still there are welcomed as well.

Hi there,

The completion date mentioned is meant for the bunker itself.  I am uncertain about the ferry pier.

Dug that up at Shell HK's website earlier.

Hi there,

This was a twin pier which allow two double deckers to load or unload at the same time.
