The Marine Department (MD) today (April 3) launched a fresh round of publicity at the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan and the China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui to remind passengers on high-speed craft plying between Hong Kong and Macau to have their seat belts fastened for a safer sea journey.
 
     The MD has set up a large backdrop of a beautiful Hong Kong scene and installed genuine cabin seats at the waiting lounge of the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal in Sheung Wan for passengers to try out fastened seat belts as if they are on board a high-speed craft and take photos. MD officers will also distribute promotional leaflets and souvenirs to passengers in the waiting lounge, and remind them to fasten their seat belts duly to ensure a safe sea journey.
 
     A spokesperson for the MD said that the slogan of the campaign, "Have a Safe and Happy Journey with Your Seat Belt Fastened", aims to remind passengers on high-speed craft plying between Hong Kong and Macau to pay attention to the master's announcement during the voyage. When the master gives such an instruction, passengers should fasten their seat belts to ensure a safe journey.
 
     The MD will continue to distribute promotional leaflets at waiting lounges and display publicity materials such as posters at eye-catching spots in the two cross-boundary ferry terminals. Moreover, the MD will also disseminate relevant messages through different channels to enhance passenger awareness of fastening seat belts on high-speed craft plying between the two places.
