Expansion works of Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter proposed 
The proposed works will create additional sheltered space to address the strong regional demand in Hong Kong Island South, particularly for pleasure vessels. The proposed works will include the construction of two new breakwaters and the provision of public landing facilities at the proposed eastern breakwater, construction of a pedestrian walkway to connect the proposed eastern breakwater to Ocean Drive and an associated vessel impact protection system, demolition of part of the existing breakwater at the eastern side of Ap Lei Chau, and construction of a wave wall in the form of a floating breakwater. The proposed works are tentatively scheduled to commence in 2026 for completion in 2030. At the same time, the Government would also like to seize the opportunity of the expansion of the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter to utilise part of the expanded waterbody for the market to develop a marina and promote yacht tourism.
