Ngong Ping 360 Cause of Suspension of Service on 11 April 2008
Ngong Ping 360 Cause of Suspension of Service on 11 April 2008 The Incident The Ngong Ping 360 ropeway service was suspended for 1 hour 28 minutes on 11 April 2008. The operating company has completed their investigation and submitted their investigation report to EMSD. The cause of the incident together with the remedial actions are given in the following paragraphs. Nei Lak Shan Angle Station The route of the Ngong Ping 360 ropeway has two angle stations, namely Airport Island Angle Station, and Nei Lak Shan Angle Station. The route of the Ngong Ping 360 ropeway and the locations of the angle stations are given in Figure A. Nei Lak Shan Figure A Plan view of Ngong Ping ropeway Findings The fault diagnosis conducted by the operating company revealed that a set of driving belts at one of the belt/pulley assemblies at Nei Lak Shan Angle Station dislodged from their normal position, resulting in incorrect cabin separation within the angle station. During normal operation, Nei Lak Shan Angle Station only has a small team of operators carrying out operation of the system. The repair work of the belt/pulley assemblies required experienced members of the maintenance team to be deployed from the Tung Chung Terminal. As Nei Lak Shan is quite remote from Tung Chung and there is only foot path leading to the angle station, the repair work at the angle station therefore took longer time than usual. Immediate Actions Taken The maintenance team of the operating company conducted corrective actions, included replacing the affected pulley, tightening the belts of the affected belt/pulley assembly to provide proper tension and fine-adjusting the assembly to to reduce the tendency of belt dislodgement. -

Paper on the Mountain Rescue Strategy and High Angle
立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(2)949/17-18(06) Ref : CB2/PL/SE Panel on Security Information note prepared by the Legislative Council Secretariat for the meeting on 6 March 2018 Mountain rescue strategy and high angle rescue operations The Fire Services Department ("FSD") provides, among others, emergency assistance to hikers in distress, for instance, when they lose their way, run into accident or need medical attention. According to the Administration's replies to relevant questions raised by Members at Council meetings, newly recruited fire personnel receive various types of rescue training, including mountain rescue, during their 26-week foundation training of FSD. FSD also provides advanced rescue training for its serving frontline fire personnel, which includes mountain rescue and high angle rescue. In addition, the Special Rescue Squad under FSD has received training in advanced mountain rescue techniques. FSD has kept its mountain rescue equipment under constant review and arranged overseas mountain rescue training for its personnel. To prepare for mountain rescue operations which are increasingly complicated and take place in high-risk areas, and in light of the rising popularity of mountain activities such as stream hiking, mountain biking and shoreline trekking in recent years, FSD has set up a Mountain Search and Rescue Team with three search dogs in early 2017 with a view to enhancing its capability in conducting mountain rescue operations. FSD has also posted Safety Hints on Mountain Activities ("Safety Hints"), covering areas such as choosing of suitable hiking route, paying attention to weather conditions as well as choosing of appropriate clothing and gears, on its website. -

MTR Corporation Limited Tung Chung Cable Car Project Nei Lak Shan
Tung Chung Cable Car Project Nei Lak Shan Angle Station Proposal MTR Corporation Limited Tung Chung Cable Car Project Nei Lak Shan Angle Station Proposal (Revision 5) June 2006 Tung Chung Cable Car Project Nei Lak Shan Angle Station Proposal 1 Introduction This Proposal gives a description on Nei Lak Shan Angle Station which will be provided as part of the cable car system to allow a change in direction. 2 Location and Design The Nei Lak Shan Angle Station will be located within the Lantau North Country Park, see Figure below. Nei Lak Shan Angle Station The following considerations are included in the design and positioning of the angle station: – Minimize impact upon existing vegetation and natural terrain; – Ensure the landscape and visual impacts are suitably mitigated. This will result in restoring disturbed country park area to a condition which resembles as close as possible the current natural condition; – Providing screen planting to as much of the structure as possible. This will help achieve the effect that the structure has been incorporated within the landscape with as little disturbance as possible; 2 Tung Chung Cable Car Project Nei Lak Shan Angle Station Proposal – In conjunction with the design of the structure, develop a chromatic scheme that will ensure the structure will fully visually integrate with the surrounding landscape. The visual impact of the Nei Lak Shan Angle Station has been reviewed. Most significant surfaces of the angle station adopt a palette of recessive ‘camouflage’ colours, which allows it to better blend with the varying colours of Lantau hills – green in wet season and yellow-brown in dry season. -
