1.There are more and more bigger cruise ships entering service in recent years.
The existing Ocean Terminal, which is the one and only one cruiseliner terminal in the territory, cannot cope with the ever increasing gross tonnage.

2.Many cruise passengers are of high consumer buying power.
With more cruise passengers coming to Hong Kong, they will certainly bring more revenue to the retail industry.
It's a shame that these passengers have to embark in container port in their luxurious trip.

3.A new cruiseliner terminal also provide job opportunities.
No matter during the construction or operation.
