Ocean Terminal Hong Kong

Ocean Terminal (海運大廈) is a cruise terminal and shopping centre located on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. Located next to the Star Ferry Pier, it began operations in March 1966. Ocean Terminal was the first shopping mall in Asia at that time. In 1987 it was re-branded together with nearby buildings as Harbour City and has become the largest shopping complex in Hong Kong since then.

Ocean Terminal has an overall length of 380 meters which can berth two large cruise ships of up to 50,000 tons or four small cruise ships. Many famous cruise ships berthed at Ocean Terminal, including Queen Elizabeth II, once the world’s largest cruise ship. However, the capacity of Ocean Terminal is not enough for mega cruise ship to berth. Some cruise vessels had to berth at Kwai Tsing Container Terminals in the early 2000s. Therefore, Hong Kong Government decided to build Kai Tak Cruise Terminal. At present, Star Pisces of Star Cruises runs a daily schedule at Ocean Terminal.
