The Government has launched a Pier Improvement Programme (PIP), aiming to upgrade the structural safety and facilities of a number of existing public piers at remote areas in the New Territories and outlying islands, with a view to facilitating public’s access to countryside scenic spots and natural heritage as well as meeting the basic needs of some local villagers relying on boats as their main transportation mode or fishermen’s operation.

Mott MacDonald Hong Kong Limited (MMHK) was commissioned on 10 February 2022 by the Civil Engineering and Development Department (CEDD) under Agreement No. CE 52/2021 (CE) to provide consultancy services in respect of the “Improvement Works at Ma Liu Shui Ferry Pier, Ma Nam Wat Pier, Yim Tin Tsai Pier and Yung Shue O Jetties – Feasibility Study”.
