Kai Tak Cruise Terminal is a cruise ship terminal that opened at the site of the former Kai Tak Airport. Its completion date was delayed into 2013 due to re-tendering. Following an international competition, Foster + Partners was invited to design the cruise terminal. The new terminal welcomed its first passengers on June 13, 2013 and has capacity to berth two large 360-metre-long vessels, which disembark a total of 5,400 passengers and 1,200 crew, as well as anticipating the demands of cruise liners currently on the drawing board. The Government announced that it would focus on the development of a new cruise terminal at Kai Tak to help Hong Kong become a regional transport hub for cruise liners. It will be built by Dragages Hong Kong Limited and site formation is being completed by Penta Ocean Construction Co., Ltd.
