世界級郵輪碼頭A World-class Cruise Terminal
前啟德機場跑道末端,於2013年正式改建為國際級大型基建「啟德郵輪碼頭」,造價達72億港元、建築面積超過14萬平方米。啟德郵輪碼頭是香港首個專供國際級大型郵輪停泊的港口,能同時容納兩艘排水量達22萬噸的超級郵輪,並能每小時接待3千名旅客,成為促進本港郵輪旅業發展的重要基石。由著名福斯特建築事務所集合業界最尖端技術建成的碼頭,四周能飽覽維港景色,碼頭採用環保概念興建,流線型的弧形設計有效為室內引入自然光及加強通風,未來更將引入電車系統連接各區。
The Kai Tak Airport runway was officially converted into the Kai Tak
Cruise Terminal in 2013. Designed and built by Foster + Partners, the terminal occupies more than 140,000 square metres, with its construction cost totalling HK$7.2 billion. It is the first port in
Hong Kong dedicated to sizable international cruise ships. It can accommodate two 220,000-tonne super cruise ships and handle 3,000 passengers per hour; helping promote Hong Kong as a cruise hub and the cruise industry in Hong Kong, an important cornerstone of the city's economy. While it offers expansive views of Victoria Harbour, the terminal was built with the most advanced technology and building concepts as seen in its streamline design which allows the influx of natural light and further enhances ventilation. Aiming to improve Kai Tak's connectivity to the rest of Hong Kong, a plan to introduce a train system to connect to various districts is in the pipeline for the district.
