RTHK news:

Passenger injured in ferry collision

21-03-2012
Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry says it'll investigate a collision involving one of its ferries.

It said the vessel was about to berth at the pier in Central yesterday when it hit another one operated by First Ferry.

Passengers were getting on board the First ferry when the incident occurred, and some windows at the lower deck of the vessel were smashed.

A passenger was slightly injured.

Hong Kong and Kowloon Ferry said it would try to find out if mechanical problems or human error had caused the incident, and then submit a report to the Marine Department.


Any eye witness accounts or even photos?
Post them here or email info@lamma.com.hk, please.

Wow! Thanks for posting. So, the Lamma ferry swung too wide when pulling out?

I've had two ferry incidents (so far).

One was on the Lamma ferry coming home when another large ferry was travelling in the same direction and we were converging at a shallow angle. Neither pilot wanted to give way and we touched lightly.

Another time I was on the star ferry and the pilot got it wrong.... we smashed into the quay and tyres were slammed onto the deck with a shower of splinters flying across the deck. It's a miracle that nobody was standing there at the time as they tryes are really heavy and would have really damaged someone.

A real veteran of ferry accidents, it seems!

The first incident, when was that (last millennium, I assume?) and did it involve HKKF?

Trying to get a feel for the safety record of HKKF, after a few, low-key incidences over the last several years, some of them mentioned in this Lamma Ferries forum.

I suppose that they might have been somewhere around 1994. I don't remember the ferry company name at that time.

Finally, I got some feedback on my "media enquiry" about that ferry collision mentioned above, an empty HKKF ferry running into a stationary, docked NWFF ferry unloading passengers at Central Pier 5, Cheung Chau:

From HKKF's Public Relations Officer:

"The details of the incident dated 20th March 2012:

Location: Nearby the area of eastern berth of pier 5.

Vessels involved: HKKF- Sea Superior (no passengers); NWFF - First Ferry III.

Possible reason: After investigation, it is possible that the incident was caused by a sudden engine breakdown of Sea Superior.
As informed by NWFF, one passenger was slightly injured, but she did not go to hospital and took another ferry back to Cheung Chau with other passengers.
The relevant insurer had been reported for compensation."
