Shaukeiwan Typhoon Shelter, Maritime refuge in Eastern District, Hong Kong.
The Shaukeiwan Typhoon Shelter spans across the waters of Eastern District, offering protection to vessels through concrete barriers and breakwaters during severe weather conditions.
Established in 1992, this maritime infrastructure represents the evolution of Hong Kong's harbor protection system, which began with the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter in 1883.
The shelter maintains connections to local fishing traditions, with numerous boats moored in its waters and fish markets operating along the surrounding shores.
During tropical storms, the shelter can accommodate multiple vessels simultaneously, with coordination managed by the Hong Kong Marine Department through designated protocols.
The shelter features an integrated dam system that regulates water levels, enabling vessels to maintain stable positions regardless of external maritime conditions.
