The Guangdong ‘yachts southbound’ scheme took effect today. On the morning of
the 16th several Guangdong-registered yachts departed Guangzhou, Shenzhen and
Zhuhai for Hong Kong waters. The move follows June’s implementation of
northbound access for Hong Kong and Macau yachts and establishes two-way mutual
access for yacht travel in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area. Under
the new rules eligible Guangdong-registered yachts may depart via six designated
passenger terminals: Nansha Port passenger terminal (Nansha port area), Shekou
Port passenger terminal, Fuyong passenger terminal at Shenzhen Airport port,
Jiuzhou passenger terminal (Jiuzhou port area, Zhuhai), Guishan passenger
terminal (Wanshan port area, Zhuhai) and Shengshi Yacht Club terminal (Shenwan
port area, Zhongshan).
