Architectural Services Department

The Cruise Terminal will have 2 alongside berths and will be well equipped with supporting facilities to accommodate the concurring berthing of 2 mega cruise vessels (with gross tonnage up to 22,000).

The first berth is expected to commence operation in mid-2013. The second berth will be ready for berthing medium-sized cruise vessels in 2014.

To adhere to the highest level of environmental sustainability, the building will make full use of natural lighting and ventilation, as well as a number of energy saving devices. It will also be well equipped with supporting facilities to accommodate the berthing of two mega cruise vessels concurrently, and will provide flexibility for conversion of the cruise terminal operation area into other uses during the non-peak season to maximise its usage. The building will provide an ancillary commercial area of about 5,600 square metres, and a landscaped deck with open space and greeneries for public enjoyment.
