United Pier
United Pier was a ferry station in Hong Kong located at Jubilee Street in the central area, operating from 1933 until 1994. The facility had multiple berths and transported both vehicles and passengers to various parts of the city across the harbor.
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 was a place where residents used water routes as part of daily life and gathered while waiting for boats. It served as a connection point between different neighborhoods and shaped how people moved around the city.
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 was notable for carrying not just cars and trucks but also rickshaws, showing a rare mix of transport methods on a single ferry route. Film footage from the 1970s documents this diverse traffic, capturing a moment when different types of vehicles still shared the same crossing.
