The local government announced yesterday that the passenger ferry service between the Inner Harbour and Wanzai in Zhuhai will resume on January 23, following the completion of major repairs at the Wanzai checkpoint, with the upcoming ferry service running from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. – much longer than before the suspension of the ferry service in early 2016.
Secretary for Administration and Justice André Cheong Weng Chon made the announcement during a press conference at Government Headquarters, which was also attended by four other senior officials.
Cheong said that the Wanzai checkpoint will resume operation on Thursday January 23, when the Macau-Wanzai ferry service will also restart. The Wanzai checkpoint will operate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, longer than before its operation was suspended nearly four years ago, Cheong pointed out. The number of trips per day will increase to 110 from the 34 trips previously, Cheong said.
