About the Central Pier No. 8 (Western Berth) – Hung Hom (South) Ferry Pier crossing
The island-to-Kowloon direction runs 110 sailings a week against 125 coming the other way, with seventeen departures from 07:50 to 19:20 — twenty minutes later at both ends of the day than the reverse leg.
Fifteen fewer weekly sailings and a later start describe which way the commuting flows: more people cross to Hong Kong Island in the morning than leave it.
Central Pier No. 8's western berth is a few minutes' walk from the financial district's towers, and the sixteen-minute crossing puts a passenger at Hung Hom on the Kowloon shore. The harbour itself has narrowed considerably over the past century — reclamation on both sides has taken hundreds of metres of water, and the ferries now cross a channel noticeably tighter than the one their predecessors worked.
