Hong Kong Central Pier from Star Ferry
Star Ferry Pier, Central refers to any of the successive generations of Central Ferry Piers in Central, Hong Kong used by the Star Ferry for its services across Victoria Harbour to Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier. The current Star Ferry pier is the fourth to bear the name in Central. It opened for public service on 12 November 2006.Central Piers 7 and 8 were built to replace the Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier in Central, on Hong Kong Island, pursuant of the Central and Wan Chai Reclamation projects. The building design resembles the second generation pier. The pier was moved further into Victoria Harbour, and constructed on reclaimed land approximately 300 metres away from the former site. Part of the new pier was built at the time of the reclamation for the Hong Kong Station of the Airport Express MTR line and the International Finance Centre. It thus derives its name from having been Pier No.7 of the outlying islands ferry piers. Pier 8 was subsequently converted and is currently housing the Hong Kong Maritime Museum since February 2013. As a consequence, Pier 7 remains the only one serving the Star Ferry in Central.
