Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is a cruise ship terminal on the former Kai Tak Airport runway in Hong Kong. Its completion date was delayed into 2013 due to re-tendering. Following an international competition, Foster + Partners was chosen to design the cruise terminal. The first ship berthed on 12 June 2013.[2] The terminal has the capacity to berth two large 360-metre (1,180 ft) long vessels, which carry a total of 5,400 passengers and 1,200 crew, as well as anticipating the demands of cruise liners currently on the drawing board.[3]
The Government announced that it would focus on the development of a new cruise terminal at Kai Tak development area[4] to help Hong Kong become a regional transport hub for cruise ships.[5] It was built by Dragages Hong Kong Limited and site formation was completed by Penta-Ocean Construction Company.
