Hong Kong's ferries leave from piers along the Central waterfront. TurboJET runs fast ferries to Macau from the Hong Kong Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan, Sun Ferry serves Cheung Chau and Mui Wo on Lantau from Central, and Hong Kong & Kowloon Ferry serves Lamma from Central Pier 4. Each card gives the figures as the operator's own page states them and says when we last checked.
