Special arrangements to cope with passenger surge at CFT
Special arrangements have been made to cope with the expected surge in passengers using the cross-boundary ferries at China Ferry Terminal during the Chinese New Year holiday period.
A Marine Department spokesman said today (February 11): " The Marine Department has recently completed works on the extension of the departure hall of the China Ferry Terminal.

"The enlargement of the waiting hall there now provides greater space for the convenience of departing passengers during peak hours in the morning."

The spokesman noted that the Immigration Department would deploy additional manpower to China Ferry Terminal during the holiday period to cope with the increased workload.

These measures are aimed at ensuring that inward and outward clearance of ferry passengers will be smooth and the usual short waiting time for the inspection of documents will be maintained.

"The Marine Department will arrange additional staff to help with the movement of passengers and to offer assistance in case of need," the spokesman added.
