Swimming races across the Central Harbour from Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island to Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon will take place from 0700 hours to 1100 hours on Sunday 10 November 2024. About 4,500 swimmers, under the escort of guard boats, are expected to participate in the races.
Launches of the Marine Department and Marine Police will be stationed or patrolling in the Central Harbour before and during the event.
Masters, coxswains and persons-in-charge of all vessels navigating in the vicinity should proceed with caution and give a wide berth to the swimmers, and follow the directions given by officers on Marine Department and Marine Police launches regulating marine traffic in the vicinity.
As the marine traffic in the Central Harbour will be affected by the races, vessel operators are advised to adjust their sailing schedules in order to avoid obstructing the races.
To facilitate the event, the following landing steps will be temporarily closed:
(i) Public Landings at the starting/finishing points – from 0900 hours on 9 November 2024 to 1300 hours on 10 November 2024;
(ii) Kowloon Public Pier No. 1 – from 0900 hours on 9 November 2024 to 1300 hours on 10 November 2024; and
(iii) Kowloon Public Piers No. 2 to 4 – from 0530 hours to 1300 hours on 10 November 2024.
During the aforementioned closure periods, owners and coxswains of vessels are advised to use other landing facilities in the vicinity.
