About the Hung Hom (South) Ferry Pier – Central Pier No. 8 (Western Berth) crossing
Seventeen departures a day, 125 sailings a week, sixteen minutes across Victoria Harbour — and two operators listed on the same route, the Transport Department and Just Use Wheels, working three day patterns between 07:30 and 19:00.
Nothing runs after seven in the evening. For a harbour crossing in a city this size that is a strong signal: the boat is competing with the MTR, which runs under the same water far more often and much later.
Hung Hom sits on the Kowloon side beside the railway terminus that once sent trains to Guangzhou and beyond; Central Pier No. 8 is on the Hong Kong Island waterfront next to the Star Ferry berths and the Maritime Museum. Cross-harbour ferries carried the whole of this traffic before the first road tunnel opened in 1972 — what survives now runs for the view as much as the journey.
