Hung Hom Ferry Pier (Chinese: 紅磡碼頭) is a ferry pier in Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is located on the reclaimed land of Hung Hom Bay. Currently, two ferry companies operate routes to Central Piers and North Point Ferry Pier.

History

The original pier, opened in 1979 using Streamline Moderne design from the Star Ferry terminals at Central and Tsim Sha Tsui, was located near the Hung Hom station, close to the current position of Metropolis Tower. In 1988, the pier was temporarily relocated to the seaside of Hunghom Bay Centre to cope with the Hung Hom Bay Reclamation Project. When the project was completed in 1991, the pier was moved to the current location. It opened in March 1991.

Ferry routes
