The Shipping and Port Control (Amendment) Regulation 2017 and the Merchant Shipping (Local Vessels) (General) (Amendment) Regulation 2017 which came into operation on 1 December establish four groups of vessel height restricted areas: the Hong Kong Link Road Areas No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4.
Except with the permission of the Director of Marine, no vessel exceeding 41, 12, 10 and 5 metres in height above sea level shall enter or pass through the HKLR Areas No.1, No.2, No.3 and No.4 respectively.
Owners, Operators, Masters, Coxswains and Persons-in-charge of vessels must ensure that the highest point of their vessels does not exceed the specified limit when entering or passing through a vessel height restricted area.
Vessels navigating in the HKLR Special Areas No.1 and No.2 must follow the general direction of traffic flow.
