Shekou Cruise Center (
History
It was announced by the operating company, in December 2013, that a major redevelopment will take place. Construction started in 2014.
Structure
The triangular shaped terminal building designed by the French architect Denis Laming[4] allows for a much larger space than the former ferry terminal. It features 12 ferries berths and 2 cruise ship berths.
Destinations
There are 30 ships operating from the terminal, of which 22 are high speed luxury ferries, and 8 are ordinary high speed ferries.[5] These service five scheduled high speed passenger ship lines (namely Shekou to Hong Kong International Airport, Hong Kong, Macau Peninsula, Macau's Taipa Island and Zhuhai) and nonscheduled charter services to Pearl River Delta islands.
