A nicer, new landing/departure pontoon for the Lamma and Cheung Chau ferries (leaving from the same Aberdeen pontoon) was put in place yesterday.

A few passenger were confused by the posted notices and had to search for the temporary location of the landing pontoon yesterday. Frequent passenger Lamma-Por came home from Aberdeen upset after searching for it yesterday. All fine now.

She writes: "The new pontoon is now in position. The Aberdeen Landing pontoon remains unchanged.
Please be aware that the new pontoon is higher and bigger than the last one, so please mind your step."

On the Pak Kok Ferry pier the other day, Yu Lai Fan has been handing out questionnaires to urge the Govt. to improve the ferry pier. Facebook discussion.
This pier has been renovated several times in recent year, after ferries crashing into it when docking head on, a very difficult and dangerous manoeuvre, even for Tsui Wah's experienced ferry pilots, as there's a current flowing past the pier.

Getting on and off needs good balance and experience. An elderly Chin. lady living in Pak Kok fell off last year and drowned. Other accidents have happened when passengers are (dis)embarking. Various improvement ideas have been suggested over the years, but no Govt. action has been taken, beyond basic repairs.
