Fenwick Pier
Fenwick Pier (Chinese: 分域碼頭) was located at 1 Lung King Street (龍景街), Wan Chai Northwest, Hong Kong Island.
Managed by Servicemen's Guides Association (the SGA), a non-profit organization, Fenwick Pier had been in operation at the coastline of Wan Chai since 1953 serving military sailors from all over the world. Fenwick Pier had been seen as the lighthouse of hospitality, answering questions about Hong Kong and ensuring a worry-free stay and reliable purchase for these unique sea-based visitors to Hong Kong.[citation needed]
Bound by the Club Ordinance, the SGA has been operating as a private club and is a membership based non-profit organization. Members of the public could enjoy services at Fenwick Pier after applying for membership of the SGA, which is simple, easy, and free of charge – only name, email and signature are required.
Fenwick Pier has sustained two periods of devastation by typhoons. On 1 September 1962, Wanda made a direct hit on Fenwick Pier causing extensive damage to the main building. Another typhoon, Ruby, struck on 5 September 1964. On both occasions, the SGA moved their operation to the basement of the Sailor's Home and Mission to Seamen. The damaged Pier was then rebuilt and while rebuilding, the SGA continued to operate in the U.S. Servicemen's lounge across the road from the Pier for nine months. The rebuilt Pier opened on 5 June 1965.
At the end 1967, the Government decided to reclaim the seafront for the construction of a new express highway and requested the SGA to relocate. After negotiation, the Government granted about 30,000 square feet on the newly reclaimed land to the SGA. The first and second phase of the new Fenwick Pier building opened in 1970. It included a restaurant, a money exchange, a film processing concession, a gift shop; lounges with typewriters, telephones and billiard tables; chaplains' offices, storerooms and the information booth. The Fenwick Pier extension was completed in 1974 with enlarged area for servicemen to relax.
In 1994, the redeveloped 4-storey Fleet Arcade opened to provide more shopping facilities and services.
In April 1997, the Government revised the tenancy agreement at Fenwick Pier from a 5-year short-term tenancy to a quarterly short-term tenancy.
Fenwick Pier became landlocked in 2016 due to reclamation.
