It runs direct ferry connections from [Shenzhen](/source/Shenzhen) to destinations across the [Pearl River Delta](/source/Pearl_River_Delta). It is operated by [China Merchants](/source/China_Merchants_Group) Shekou Ferry Terminal Service Co., Ltd. Ferry operations are operated by [Xunlong Ferries](/source/China_Merchants_Shenzhen_Xunlong_Shipping_Co._Ltd), [TurboJET](/source/TurboJET) and [CKS Ferries](/source/Chu_Kong_Passenger_Transport_Co.%2C_Ltd). It can also handle cruise ships docking and replenishment, and is the first cruise terminal in China. This facility replaces the former [Shekou Passenger Terminal](/source/Shekou_Passenger_Terminal) and is part of a larger urban renewal and redevelopment along Shenzhen Bay. ## History It was announced by the operating company, in December 2013, that a major redevelopment will take place. Construction started in 2014.[1] The first cruise ship, the [SuperStar Virgo](/source/SuperStar_Virgo) of [Star Cruises](/source/Star_Cruises) tied alongside, on Friday afternoon October 14, 2016, ahead of the terminal's opening party.[2] The new Shenzhen Prince Bay Cruise Homeport will open on November 1, 2016. It is located 1.5 kilometres (4,900 ft) south-west of the former ferry terminal with a free shuttle bus connecting the new terminal with the Shekou Port Metro Station.[3] ## Structure The triangular shaped terminal building designed by the French architect [Denis Laming](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Denis_Laming&action=edit&redlink=1) [[fr](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Laming)][4] allows for a much larger space than the former ferry terminal. It features 12 ferries berths and 2 cruise ship berths. ## Destinations There are 30 ships operating from the terminal, of which 22 are high speed luxury ferries, and 8 are ordinary high speed ferries.[5] These service five scheduled high speed passenger ship lines (namely Shekou to [Hong Kong International Airport](/source/Hong_Kong_International_Airport), [Hong Kong](/source/Hong_Kong), [Macau](/source/Macau) Peninsula, Macau's [Taipa](/source/Taipa) Island and [Zhuhai](/source/Zhuhai)) and nonscheduled charter services to Pearl River Delta islands.
