This was the first of the two Jordan Road ferry piers. On maps dated 1947 [1] and 1964 [2] it is marked 'Vehicular Ferry Pier'.

On the 1990 map [3] it is marked as 'Jordan Road ferry Pier', and a separate 'Vehicular Ferry Pier' is shown at the corner of Man Cheong Street and Man Wui Street.

Vehicular Ferry Pier / United Pier, Central [1933-1994]

This pier was roughly where One IFC stands today. The pier was operated by HYF (The Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry Company Limited).

It was originally built for the new vehicular ferry service between Hong Kong island and Kowloon, but several passenger ferry routes also used berths at this pier.
