We bid farewell to lots of things and people these days, with the Fenwick Pier among one of them. First started operation in 1953, the Fenwick Pier serves military sailors from around the world. Vessels used to dock at the Fenwick Pier, but with land reclamation works along the Wan Chai part of the Victoria Harbour, the marine function of the Pier had been closed since 2011, and it is no longer by the shore since then. Sailors now board in Kennedy Town with shuttle buses bringing them to the Fenwick Pier.
The Fleet Arcade at the Fenwick Pier opens to the local public as well. It is very close to our office that we used to have lunch there from time to time to enjoy some short leisure during a busy day.
With the land lease about to end at the end of the year, the Fenwick Pier will also be closed without any place for relocation. The existing site will be used for the relocation of the Kong Wan Fire Station, with the original site of the Kong Wan Fire Station being used for the extension of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
So long.
