Financial Problems
Since the Central Star Ferry Pier was moved from its old pier next to City Hall to the new location outside International Finance Centre, passager number has fallen drastically to mainly by tourists and a small number of commuters. This has meant the Star Ferry company has lost many millions of dollars since the relocation.
