No. 969/26 in MD-HPS-F01-015-04A-001 Annex MARINE DEPARTMENT NOTICE NO. 171/2026 Marine Traffic Control Measures For the 2026 National Day Fireworks Display Ferry Services ALL SCHEDULED FERRY SERVICES IN THE CENTRAL HARBOUR WILL BE SUSPENDED from 1900 hours to about 2100 hours on 1 October 2026, except for those run by ferry vessels with special permission from the Director of Marine to continue services between 1900 hours and 1940 hours on 1 October 2026. 2. ALL ferry vessels permitted to continue services between 1900 hours and 1940 hours on 1 October 2026, must maintain a minimum safe passing distance of 250 metres from the fireworks firing barges and the pyrotechnics firing pontoons. They should also be either secured to their berths or leave the Restricted Area before 1940 hours on 1 October 2026. 3. The Transport Department will detail the re-scheduling of ferry services in a separate notice. Viewing Area 4. Spectator vessels gathering inside the Specified Area, other than the Restricted Area and the Closed Area, during the specified period are advised to keep clear of ferry piers, China Ferry Terminal and the Hong Kong and Macao Ferry Terminal. Masters/coxswains are advised to stem the tide during the fireworks display to avoid intruding into the Restricted Area. Safety Measures by All Vessels 5. Vessels approaching the Restricted Area before the fireworks display and vessels leaving their viewing positions after the display must proceed at a safe speed, which should not generally exceed 5 knots. Every vessel must at all times maintain a proper lookout, and take measures to avoid obscuring the view of any person keeping a lookout, including switching off the cabin lights. Searchlights must not be used as they may interfere with the proper lookout and the safe operation of other vessels. 6. Masters/coxswains, owners, agents and operators of spectator vessels are advised to take the following steps before the start of the voyage: (a) all persons on board are made aware of the location of all lifesaving appliances and instructed on the proper way to wear a lifejacket, and the location of all emergency exits; (b) all children on board are required to wear lifejackets at all times and accompanied by an adult; (c) a passenger and crew list containing the names of passengers and crew on board is kept by the master/coxswain for emergency purposes; and (d) the carrying capacity specified in the operating licence of the vessel is adhered to. 7. When a vessel requires immediate assistance, the master/coxswain of the vessel may: (a) signal for assistance by using the distress signals set out in the Annex to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea 1972 and its amendments; (b) call the Vessel Traffic Centre, Marine Department (call-sign “MARDEP, HONG KONG”) on VHF Channel 02; (c) call the Marine Regional Command & Control Centre, Hong Kong Police Force on telephone 3660 8608 or 3660 8609 or 3660 8620; or (d) call the emergency number 999. 8. Masters/coxswains, owners, agents and operators of small vessels, especially those without a deck or those of less than 5 metres in length, are advised NOT to enter or remain in the Central Harbour area during the event. Such vessels are vulnerable to the wash of larger vessels in areas of high traffic density, and are not easily detected by larger vessels, which have higher freeboard. 9. Launches of the Marine Department, Marine Police and Fire Services Department will be stationed in or patrolling the Central Harbour. They will exhibit either a flashing red or a flashing blue light. Masters/coxswains should follow any instructions given by the officers on these launches. Closure of Public Piers and Landing Steps 10. To facilitate landside crowd control, the public landing steps No.1, 2, 3 and 4 at Kowloon Public Pier will be temporarily closed from 1800 hours to about 2100 hours on 1 October 2026, and the public landing steps No.5 and 6 at Kowloon Public Pier will be temporarily closed from 1800 hours on 1 October 2026 to about 0000 hours on 2 October 2026. The other public landing steps within the Restricted Area will be closed from 1830 hours to about 2100 hours on 1 October 2026. 11. Owing to high demand of landing facilities within the Restricted Area immediately after their reopening, some delay to the disembarkation of passengers is inevitable. For the sake of safety, masters/coxswains of vessels are advised not to leave their viewing positions hurriedly after the event; and consider using landing facilities outside the Central Harbour for disembarkation. Buffer Zone 12. For safe and orderly disembarkation of passengers, three Buffer Zones, one at Kowloon Public Pier (KPP), one at Kwun Tong Public Pier (KTPP) and the other at Central Pier 9 (CP 9) and 10 (CP 10), will be established immediately after the event until the traffic returns to normal. The Buffer Zones extend about 90 metres from the piers and are marked and regulated by Marine Department and Marine Police launches. Vessels intending to use KPP, KTPP, CP 9 or CP 10 are required to wait at the designated gathering area prior to getting alongside and follow the direction of Marine Department or Marine Police officers. Vessels using KPP will only be permitted to enter the Buffer Zone from the east and leave from the west. Vessels using KTPP should wait outside the Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter for their turns to get alongside, enter the Buffer Zone from the east and leave from the west. To expedite disembarkation, masters/coxswains are advised to remind passengers to check their personal belongings early. Strengthening Inspection on Compliance of Safety Measures by Spectator Vessels 13. To ensure that the spectator vessels comply with the legal requirements and take proper safety measures, the Marine Department will step up inspection on their lifesaving appliances; suitable lifejackets for children and infants; children must wear lifejackets at all times; children to be accompanied by an adult; keeping a list of all passengers and crew on board; and not being under the influence of alcohol and drugs. If any deficiencies are detected in any of the aforementioned respects during an inspection, the coxswain of the vessel or any person concerned may be prosecuted if he or she fails to comply with relevant legal requirements. Masters/coxswains, owners, agents and operators are advised to observe all safety measures given in this Notice to avoid any unnecessary delay, and more importantly, to safeguard the safety of passengers and crew. Requirements Relating to Passenger Safety 14. To enhance the safety of passengers, a local vessel licensed to carry passengers which is present in a “specified area” during the “specified period” in a major event at sea must comply with the following requirements: (a) Children must be accompanied by an adult on board The coxswain of the vessel must not allow a child (a person under the age of 12 years) to be on board the vessel unless the child is accompanied by an adult. (b) Suitable lifejackets for children and infants (i) the coxswain of the vessel must provide the adult who is accompanying a child with a suitable lifejacket for the child, take reasonable steps to demonstrate to the adult how the lifejacket should be worn by the child and remind the adult of the requirements as detailed in (ii) and (iii) below; (ii) the adult accompanying a child (other than an infant under the age of 2 years) on board the vessel must ensure that the child wears a suitable lifejacket at all times; and (iii) the adult accompanying an infant (a person under the age of 2 years) on board the vessel must ensure that the safety of the infant will not be prejudiced by not wearing a suitable lifejacket on board the vessel. (c) Producing a list of all persons on board (i) the coxswain of the vessel must keep a list of all persons on board covering each person’s full name. In the case of children, the particulars shall also include their age and the full name(s) of the accompanying adult(s). The coxswain must not allow any person who fails to give the said particulars to board or to remain on board the vessel. (ii) the person or the adult accompanying a child on board must give the said particulars to the coxswain or a crew member of the vessel if so requested by the coxswain or the crew member. (iii) the coxswain must produce the list for inspection on request by an authorized officer. 15. Masters/coxswains, owners, agents and operators must observe the aforementioned requirements and exercise due diligence to comply with. A person who without reasonable excuse fails to comply with the requirements commits an offence and is liable to a fine of HK$5,000. 16. The above requirements do not apply to a local vessel which is: (a) made fast to the shore; (b) in use for a franchised service or licensed service under the Ferry Services Ordinance (Cap. 104); or (c) berthed, moored, anchored or secured in a typhoon shelter.- MDN 162/2026Archived
