Swimming races across the Central Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon to Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island will take place from 0830 hours to 1030 hours on Sunday 29 October 2017. About 3,200 swimmers, under the escort of guard boats, are expected to participate in the races.
Launches of the Marine Department and Marine Police will be stationed or patrolling in the Central Harbour before and during the event.
Masters, coxswains and persons-in-charge of all vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and give a wide berth to the swimmers, and follow the directions given by officers on Marine Department and Marine Police launches regulating marine traffic in the vicinity.
As the marine traffic in the Central Harbour will be affected by the races, vessels operators are advised to adjust their sailing schedules in order to avoid obstructing the races.
Landing steps No.2 and No.3 of Kowloon Public Pier will be temporarily closed from 0900 hours on 28 October 2017 to 1030 hours on 29 October 2017. Owners and coxswains of vessels are advised to use other landing facilities in the vicinity during the period of closure.
