Ocean Terminal (traditional Chinese: 海運大廈), built in 1966, is a cruise terminal and shopping centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. It is owned by The Wharf company. It was once a wharf pier on the west shore of Tsim Sha Tsui. The pier was later rebuilt and enlarged, and became a cruise terminal. Apart from a terminal, it is also a multi-story shopping centre and re-branded together with nearby buildings of the Wharf as Harbour City.
[edit] Heavy Load
The annual berth utilisation rate of Ocean Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, which offers two berths accommodating vessels of up to 50,000 tonnes, rose to 76% last year from 71% in 2003. Between 2001 and 2005, some 11 cruise vessels had to berth mid-stream and at container terminals because Ocean Terminal could not meet market demand.
