Guangdong-registered yachts will be allowed to sail into Hong Kong waters from next Friday under a new travel scheme, the city’s transport minister has confirmed.
Writing in her weekly blog on Saturday, Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan said the maiden voyage ceremony for the Southbound Yacht Travel Scheme would be held on launch day.
“Building on the groundwork laid by the Northbound Yacht Travel Scheme, the maiden voyage ceremony for the Southbound Yacht Travel Scheme marks a two-way journey of maritime connectivity,” she said.
Chan made the announcement after the Marine Department and the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration signed work arrangements last month to establish a framework for cross-boundary yacht travel between the two places.
