Hong Kong to Host Sea Parade

A sea parade comprising of two ferries and about 18 pleasure vessels will take place on July 6, 2014 in Hong Kong, GAC reported in its daily Hot Port News report.

Participating vessels will gather in the waters off the west of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) at about 4:30 p.m. The parade will start at about 4:45 p.m., following a route that passes the HKCEC and disperse at the west entrance of Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter at about 5:15 p.m. A fireboat will also display water jets along the parade route.

Marine Department and Marine Police patrol launches will be deployed to regulate marine traffic during the passage of the sea parade.

GAC Advises that vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution, give a wide berth to the parade fleet and comply with any direction given by the Marine Department and Marine Police patrol launches.
