The existing primitive Ma Wan Chung Pier has only one berthing space. The insufficient water depth of the berth also makes berthing difficult during low tide in particular, causing inconvenience to passengers when boarding and alighting. The local villagers and fishermen have been requesting the Government to improve the Pier.

After carrying out the study, the Government agrees to the need to reconstruct the Pier to improve the berthing situatio, and would provide the reconstructed pier with add-on facilities including floating platform cum access ramp and roof cover, with a view to fostering easier and safer boarding and alighting at the pier, thereby bringing convenience to the villagers and the fishermen accessing to/from Ma Wan Chung.

The construction contract commenced in August 2022. The contractor shall, in accordance with the contract requirement, implement environmental mitigation measures and conduct monitoring during construction to minimise the impacts on the environment.
