Ocean Terminal serves as a passenger terminal for cruise ships and functions as a shopping centre, situated on Canton Road in the Tsim Sha Tsui area of Kowloon, Hong Kong.
History
Previously, the location of Ocean Terminal was occupied by a pier known as the Kowloon Star Ferry Pier and the Kowloon Wharf and Godown along Tsim Sha Tsui's western coastline. The site underwent redevelopment to become a cruise terminal integrated with a multi-level shopping complex, officially opening on 22 March 1966 with an investment of HK$70 million. Featuring 112 retail outlets, it held the distinction of being Hong Kong’s largest shopping mall as well as its first dedicated shopping centre.[1]
In 1982, Ocean Terminal was incorporated under the branding of Harbour City, along with adjacent properties owned by Wharf. Ownership continues under The Wharf (Holdings) Limited.
Heavy transport
Ocean Terminal is equipped with two berths designed to handle vessels with a maximum weight of 50,000 tonnes. By August 2021, the annual berth utilization had increased to 76%, compared to 71% in 2003. During the period from 2001 to 2006, demand for berthing space surpassed available capacity, resulting in approximately eleven cruise ships having to dock mid-stream or at container terminals.
