Hong Kong-Macau ferry services to be disrupted again on Monday after accident
TurboJet vessel that hit pier still awaiting repairs, as operator announces second straight day of changes to services
TurboJet, which operates the ferries, said on Sunday that a small number of services would be “adjusted” on Monday as authorities needed to check the damaged vessel and approve it to set sail for repairs at another location.
“The company will hasten the repair progress and endeavour to arrange vessels to substitute affected services in the meantime,” TurboJet wrote on its social media page.
It did not say which services would be affected.
A Post check of TurboJet’s booking website for sailings to Macau’s Outer Harbour on Monday found no cancellations. But the option to buy tickets for a 10.15am ferry from Sheung Wan to Taipa in Macau was unavailable.
TurboJet began cancelling services after one of its catamarans hit a pier at the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal shortly after 3.30pm on Saturday. The Macau-bound ferry had returned to the city dock due to “mechanical failure”.
