Boats along the seawall, not in the inlet

Harbour craft come right up to the runway seawall again, but keep out of the inlet under the south apron taxiways.

Boats in the harbour come right up to the seawall around Kai Tak's peninsula again, passing alongside the edges of Runway 13/31 as they did in the 1990s. The one place they never go is the water inlet under the taxiways to the south apron.

What changed

  • Junks and yachts moor along the shore in Kowloon Bay, and tugs, launches and police boats roam there, close to the seawall
  • The junk moored off the runway is back, and so is the Boat in the harbour view from it
  • No boat is moored in, or routed through, the inlet between the runway-side taxiway and the south apron

海港嘅船又再可以駛到啟德半島海堤旁邊，好似九十年代咁沿住 13/31 跑道邊經過。唯一唔會去嘅地方，係通去南停機坪嗰啲滑行道下面嘅水道。

跑道側滑行道同南停機坪之間嘅水道，冇船，遠處海港有船。
通去南停機坪嘅水道保持冇船。

改咗啲咩

  • 帆船同遊艇沿住九龍灣岸邊泊，拖船、嘩啦嘩啦同水警輪喺海堤附近行
  • 跑道對開嗰隻帆船返嚟咗，「海港上嘅船」視角都返嚟
  • 跑道側滑行道同南停機坪之間嘅水道唔會有船泊或者經過
