Vessel Description

SHA TIN is a passenger ferry operating under the flag of Hong Kong, China, managed and operated by New World First Ferry Services Ltd, one of the principal ferry operators serving Hong Kong's outlying island routes. Built in 2005 at Cheoy Lee Shipyards, the vessel is purpose-designed for short-to-medium distance passenger transport within the sheltered and semi-sheltered waters of Hong Kong. As a double-ended or conventional passenger ferry configuration typical of Hong Kong inter-island service, the vessel provides scheduled public transport connections across the territory's extensive network of marine routes. The vessel maintains active AIS reporting under MMSI 477990500 and operates under the Hong Kong SAR maritime regulatory framework.
