United Pier
United Pier (統一碼頭) stood at Jubilee Street in Central, Hong Kong, and was also known as Jubilee Street Pier. Opened in 1933, it had berths for passenger ferries and a vehicular ferry service, and it was demolished in 1994 for the Central and Wan Chai Reclamation.
The pier opened in 1933 to meet the growing demand for vehicle transport across the harbor and was expanded with additional berths in the post-war period. It was closed and demolished in 1994 as part of land reclamation projects that made way for new buildings including the One IFC tower.
The pier's name referred to the united ferry services that converged there, with routes to Jordan Road, Sham Shui Po, Cheung Chau and Silvermine Bay. Its location at Jubilee Street gave it the earlier name Jubilee Street Pier. A covered walkway linking it to Blake Pier was begun in April 1973.
The site where the pier once stood is now occupied by modern buildings and roads, no longer accessible as a historical location. Those interested in learning more can find old maps and photographs in local archives and historical records.
The pier's name came from the Jubilee Street location, and it was first called Jubilee Street Pier. Its vehicle ferries to Yau Ma Tei carried cars and trucks across the harbour. In 1955 work began on a footbridge above the pier, and in 1973 a covered walkway was built linking it to Blake Pier.
