The existing Shek Tsai Wan Pier has only one berthing space, and the insufficient water depth of the berth also makes berthing of relatively large vessels difficult during low tide in particular. Besides, the Pier is dilapidated with part of the structures at the pier head collapsed, causing inconvenience to passengers in 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 berthing situation, 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 Shek Tsai Wan. 

The construction contract commenced in December 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 in particular the water quality of the nearby Ma Wan Fish Culture Zone.
