The Government intends to modify and extend the existing Ma Nam Wat Pier within an area of approximately 1.07 hectares of foreshore and seabed near Ma Nam Wat Village.
The proposed works, scheduled to commence as early as the second half of 2025 for completion in approximately two years, will provide additional berths and barrier-free facilities to enhance convenience and safety of pier users while boarding and alighting. During the construction stage, a temporary pier will be provided at the site for public use.
Ma Nam Wat Pier is located in the Sai Kung District and was built in 1990s. Ma Nam Wat ( 麻籃笏) is a village in the Hebe Haven area of Sai Kung District. It is located on the Pak Sha Wan Peninsula.
Villagers use the on-demand kaito ferry services to/from the Ma Nam Wat Pier every day, for daily commuting to other areas in the Sai Kung area. There are also visitors to Ma Nam Wat for hiking, water sport activities, etc. during weekends.
A number of features of environmental significance exist near the Ma Nam Wat Pier, including the Ma On Shan Country Park, Sam Sing Wan Site of Archaeological Interest, Ma Nam Wat Fish Culture Zone, Conservation Area, and Coastal Protection Area, etc.
The insufficient water depth of the berth of the Ma Nam Wat Pier, in particular during low tide, makes berthing of relatively large vessels difficult and causes inconvenience to passenger when boarding and alighting.
