  • MEMORANDUM to : Designing Hong Kong from : Peter Lee, Stephanie Siu, Jeremy Or and Cindy Ha of Reed Smith Richards Butler Date
    MEMORANDUM To : Designing Hong Kong From : Peter Lee, Stephanie Siu, Jeremy Or and Cindy Ha of Reed Smith Richards Butler Date : 15 February 2018 Client : Designing Hong Kong Matter: 999934.10176 / Advice on development of water taxis in Hong Kong -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A. INTRODUCTION 1. This is a legal advice on the following issues regarding the setting up of a water taxi system in Hong Kong: (a) Licensing, certification and other relevant requirements by the Hong Kong Marine Department (the “MD”) and the Hong Kong Transport Department (“TD”); (b) Embarkation and disembarkation restrictions within the waters of Hong Kong; (c) Environmental issues concerning the operation of water taxis; and (d) Booking system for water taxis. 2. By way of background, the Task Force on Water-land Interface of the Harbourfront Commission looked into the potentials of water taxis services in the Victoria Harbour in its Paper No. TFWL/02/2012 "Waterborne Passenger Transportation in Victoria Harbour” (See Attachment 1) in February 2012. This Paper will be referred to throughout this memorandum as the “HC Paper”. 3. In preparing this memorandum, we have made the following assumptions: (a) only existing licensed vessels will be deployed as water taxis in this water taxi system i.e. the vessels used as water taxis will have already complied with licensing requirements overseen by the MD (as set out in Section B1 Marine Department - the vessel) and no new vessels are required to be built.; (b) the subject water taxis will operate for private hire use (akin to Uber or road taxis) as opposed to a system of public transport such as the Star Ferry; and (c) the subject water taxis will be “local vessels”1 used solely within Hong Kong waters and therefore be subject mainly to the laws of Hong Kong.

  • 新渡輪獲延續港內航線及離島航線經營牌照 Licence Renewal on Inner Harbour and Outlying-Island Ferry Routes
    新渡輪獲延續港內航線及離島航線經營牌照 Licence Renewal on Inner Harbour and Outlying-island Ferry Routes 今年三月，新渡輪獲運輸署延續港內航線(包括北角往來紅磡及北角往來九龍城)，以及離 島航線(中環往來梅窩、中環往來長洲及橫水渡)之渡輪服務經營牌照三年。港內航線及梅 窩航線之牌照將於2017年4月1日起生效；而中環往來長洲及橫水渡航線之牌照則會於 2017年7月1日起生效。 在過去的三年牌照期內，縱然通貨膨脹持續，營運成本不停上升，新渡輪仍一直竭力維持 票價穩定。基於新渡輪在新牌照下須面對油價的不明朗因素、加上市場上人手極其缺乏， 公司必須在員工薪酬福利開支方面大幅增加，以挽留現職員工及吸引年青人入行等因素的 考慮下，新渡輪在新牌照期內會作出票價調整。 在新牌照下，新渡輪會積極強化渡輪服務，包括提升船隊內的船隻設施，以及針對目前勞動市場人手緊絀而無法覓得船員 駕駛下仍可提升船隊的整體載客量，為船隊內5艘403位的高速船每艘逐步增添約20個座位。同時，就著中環往來長洲航線 設立特別通道之訴求，新渡輪會在相關政府部門的配合下安排在2017年下半年實施月票通道並會進一步研究容許持其他票 種的乘客使用該通道之技術可行性。 有關新收費的安排，乘客可查閱碼頭資訊板、致電新渡輪顧客服務專線 2131 8181，或瀏覽新渡輪手機應用程式或企業網 站www.nwff.com.hk。 In March, the Transport Department extended First Ferry’s licences to operate inner harbour ferry routes (including North Point-Hung Hom and North Point-Kowloon City) as well as outlying-island ferry routes (Central-Mui Wo, Central-Cheung Chau and Inter Islands) by 3 years. The extension on the inner harbour and Mui Wo routes will come into effect as of 1 April 2017 while the remaining two routes will become effective on 1 July 2017. During the previous 3-year licence period, despite continuing inflationary pressures and rising operating costs, First Ferry has tried hard to keep fares stable. In this new licence period, in view of the uncertainty of rebounding oil prices coupled with a severe manpower shortage in the market that necessitated a considerable increase in remuneration package to retain current employees and to attract young people to this industry by providing maritime training, First Ferry has to adjust the
