About the North Point (East) Ferry Pier (near North Point Promenade) – Kowloon City Ferry Pier at San Ma Tau Street crossing
Twenty-five departures, twenty-two of them every day, and the span is exactly twelve hours. 07:17 to 19:17, half-hourly, across the eastern end of Victoria Harbour.
The same shape as its two neighbours
The Hung Hom crossing runs 07:23 to 19:23 and the Kwun Tong one 07:00 to 19:30. Three routes from one North Point landing, all of them twelve-hour commuter services and none of them running at night.
Fourteen minutes to San Ma Tau Street
Nearly twice the Hung Hom crossing time for the same fare band. Kowloon City sits further up the shore, inland of the old airport site, with no MTR station on the waterfront.
A standing schedule
Hong Kong publishes ferry timetables as continuing documents. The dates in our data extend far into the future because there is no seasonal edition to replace them.
