Las Vegas Sands Corporation has initiated high-speed ferry service between Hong Kong's Macau Ferry Terminal at Shun Tak Centre and Macau's newly opened Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal on Macau's Taipa Island.

With the launch of the new CotaiJet service, which is being managed by Cotai Chu Kong Shipping Management Services Co., Ltd. of Hong Kong, visitors and residents of Hong Kong, Macau, and the Pearl River Delta region may now enjoy additional transportation options, and important incremental transportation capacity, between the two Special Administrative Regions.

"As Hong Kong, Macau, and the wider Pearl River Delta enjoy increasing levels of visitation from throughout Asia and around the world, investments in transportation infrastructure will be vital to the continuing development of the region as a leading leisure and convention destination," said William Weidner, president of Las Vegas Sands Corp. "This new service will offer visitors to the region, and residents of Hong Kong, Macau and southern China, important additional transportation options on the increasingly utilized Hong Kong-Macau route. In addition, visitors to Macau will have the opportunity to arrive directly on Taipa Island in close proximity to The Venetian Macau and the Cotai Strip."

Weidner said the additional arrival point in Macau will help to alleviate a portion of the current traffic congestion on the Macau peninsula and enable increasing levels of visitation to both Macau and the wider region for years to come.

Each custom-built catamaran has the capacity to carry more than 400 passengers and operate at top speeds of approximately 42 knots. CotaiJet service will feature first-class dining options, convenient booking of Cotai Strip entertainment offerings, as well as on-board hotel check-in services for visitors to the Cotai Strip.
