Not long after Explore reported that Sai Kung resident, John Brennan, had taken action to have an industrial hoist which was anchored in the middle of Ma Nam Wat inlet moved - it showed up again!
Having read the story of John's success in getting the Marine Department to force the owners to move the rig, Explore reader, Karina, sent an email to alert the Department to its new position in Wong Chuk Wan Bay.
"It is an eyesore and I am not sure if it is doing damage to the marine ecology of the area. Â Seems the owner of this 'vessel' needs another firm slap on the wrist for simply moving it to another location so it can become someone else's eyesore" wrote Karina, sending a link to the original Explore story.
Four days later, on 7 July 2010, Eric WK Lau of the Marine Department, emailed Karina to report that they had contacted the owner and a "notice has been dispatched to him to remove this hoist from the reported site within one week".
If you see the hoist in a bay near you - Mr. Lau can be reached by email: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  ,telephone (2928 6378 or 2791 9607) or by fax at: 2792 0925
