From 1400 hours to 2030 hours on 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24, 25 and 26 December 2023, a Restricted Area will be established in Victoria Harbour off the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade to facilitate Pyrotechnic Special Effect Materials (PSEMs) shows in connection with the Hong Kong WinterFest.

The PSEMs will be discharged from 2 firing barges within the Restricted Area bounded by straight lines joining the following co-ordinates (WGS 84 Datum) from (A) to (D):

(D) 22〫17.753’N 114〫09.292’E

Four yellow marker buoys fitted with yellow flashing lights will be laid at the above co-ordinates to indicate the boundaries of the Restricted Area.

During the aforementioned periods, no vessels, other than Government launches or the firing barges, will be allowed to enter or remain within the Restricted Area. Masters, coxswains and persons-in-charge of all vessels navigating in the vicinity should keep away from the Restricted Area.
