Preserving Heritage: The Challenges and Prospects of the Star Ferry in Hong Kong

The Star Ferry, a historic icon of Hong Kong, faces ongoing financial struggles despite fare increases and efforts to diversify revenue through events and pier renovations. Doubts persist about the company’s ability to deliver high-quality events and upgrades, while concerns remain over integration with the harbourfront and potential noise disturbances for nearby residents.

作为香港历史悠久的城市名片，天星小轮（The Star Ferry）尽管提高了票价，并试图通过举办活动和翻新码头来实现收入多元化，但仍面临着持续的财政困境。外界对于该公司举办高质量活动以及完成码头升级的能力依然存疑；同时，关于码头与海滨长廊的整体融合规划，以及活动可能给周边居民带来的噪音骚扰问题，也同样令人担忧。
