About the Central Pier No. 4 at Man Kwong Street – Sok Kwu Wan Pier No. 2 at Lamma Island crossing
Sixteen departures a day, 82 sailings a week, forty minutes out to Lamma — and a last sailing at 23:30, an hour later than the boats coming the other way.
Two day patterns cover departures from 07:20. That late-night service is the whole difference between the directions: people leaving the island start early, and people going home to it leave the city late.
Pier No. 4 is one of the outlying-islands berths on the Central waterfront, a row of terminals serving Lamma, Cheung Chau, Peng Chau and Mui Wo. Sok Kwu Wan is on Lamma's eastern bay, where the fish farms are moored. Lamma's power station chimneys are visible from Hong Kong Island — the island supplies much of the territory's electricity and has no cars on it.
