Marine Science and Technology
A Deck
Permanent Exhibition
The exhibition introduces the development of maritime technology like navigation, tele-communications, as well as marine conservation and oceanography in Hong Kong and beyond. The immersive bridge simulator is also an excellent demonstration of how seafarers navigate in the sea.
Hong Kong Marine Conservation Efforts
The exhibition space will unfold into two distinct narratives: “Under Threat ” and “Hope for Tomorrow ”. Through the central immersive space on Deck A, visitors will be transported to an underwater world with the diverse marine life and corals unique to Hong Kong waters. Visitors will be informed the threats to our underwater world, allow them to envisage a Hong Kong coastline devoid of its rich marine life if no action were taken, and educate them on the ongoing initiatives to sustain and conserve the local marine environment and biodiversity. The gallery will inspire visitors to commit to supporting marine conservation and empower them with actionable steps they can take to contribute.
KM Koo Ship Bridge Simulator
Sponsored by Valles Steamship Company Limited, visitors can experience the fun of steering different vessels including container ships, high-speed boat and Star Ferry in virtual environments, and learn the various roles of seafarers.
