Hong Kong - Workboat
Final repost of a typical Hong Kong utility boat. Originally uploaded on January 19, 2008, ever so slightly reworked before reposting on May 5, 2025.
These boats are used as "Water Taxis", small transport and whatever else comes to mind. Seen at the northern end of the Yau Ma Tei Public Cargo Handling Area.
The two round things in the background are mooring buoys. If one cannot afford a permanent berth alongshore, one can chain his vessel to those buoys for a modest monthly fee. And transfer oneself to shore with such a water taxi.
