Restricted Area & closure of landing steps at Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

From 1500 hours on 30 September to 1000 hours on 1 October, a Restricted Area will be established in Victoria Harbour off the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre as part of the security and public safety arrangements in connection with the celebration of the 76th Anniversary of the Founding of the People’s Republic of China.

The Restricted Area is formed by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D) and the adjacent shoreline:
(A) 22 deg. 16.978’N / 114 deg. 10.172’E

(D) 22 deg. 16.991’N / 114 deg. 10.585’E

Two yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid at co-ordinates (B) and (C) to indicate the northern boundary of the Restricted Area. Launches of the Marine Police will be stationed or will patrol in the vicinity of the Restricted Area. No vessels, other than Government launches or franchised ferries, will be allowed to enter or remain within the Restricted Area.

During the aforementioned period, Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre Landing (HP080) and Wan Chai Bypass Landing No. 4 (HP161) will be closed. Owners and coxswains of vessels are advised to use other landing steps in the vicinity.
