Suspension of two more ferry routes

Fortune Ferry has suspended its Central – Hung Hom route starting Thursday, while its North Point – Kwun Tong – Kai Tak route will be suspended starting next Tuesday (Mar 8). 

The ferry company explained that its ferry services have been severely affected by the pandemic and it has obtained the approval from the Transport Department for the suspension of services. 

It apologized for the inconvenience caused and continued that they will closely monitor the pandemic development, wishing all passengers good health. 

Sun Ferry announced earlier that it has suspended sailings between North Point and Hung Hom, and between North Point and Kowloon City. Around 360 staffers, or 30 percent of its workforce, have either tested positive for Covid-19 or need to undergo quarantine. 

The ferry company adjusted services of its Central – Cheung Chau route and Central – Mui Wo route since Sunday (Feb 27), reducing sailings in the morning and evening.
