​The Government intends to allow China Unicom (Hong Kong) Operations Limited to install cable landing ducts within an area of approximately 50 square metres of foreshore and seabed within Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate. The extent of the area of foreshore and seabed affected is described in a notice gazetted today (November 1).
The proposed works comprise installation of two sets of parallel landing ducts for provision of connections for future submarine cables.
