Participating vessels will gather in Kellett Anchorage No. 2 at about 0830 hours. The parade will start at about 0900 hours from Kellett Anchorage No. 2 following a route along the Southern Fairway, Central Fairway and Hung Hom Fairway to the waters off Hung Hom and then turn westbound along the fairways to the waters off Sai Ying Pun and will repeat the same route three times before dispersal at about 1200 hours.

Marine Department and Marine Police patrol launches will be deployed to regulate marine traffic during the passage of the sea parade.
