「Guangdong Yachts Heading South」 to Make Maiden Voyage on Friday; Lam Sai-ying: Marine Department and Guangdong MSA in Close Communication to Make Preparations

「Guangdong Yachts Heading South」 will make its maiden voyage on Friday. Secretary for Transport and Logistics Lam Sai-ying said the Marine Department and the Guangdong Maritime Safety Administration are in close communication and contact to prepare for the maiden voyage. Over the past few months, the government has conducted training and assessments for mainland captains on their knowledge of Hong Kong waters, while the Marine Department has also built a real-time yacht movement monitoring system and set up an electronic business system to provide crew members and visitors with one-stop services. The authorities will step up the issuance of maritime safety reminders, and the Marine Department will strengthen patrols.
