多條渡輪航線申請加價 中環往南丫島、坪洲擬加一倍
運輸及物流局回覆立法會特別財委會議員質詢時表示,正處理10條持牌渡輪航線的加價申請,其中港九小輪三條離島航線,即中環來往坪洲、榕樹灣及索罟灣,申請加價一倍;珠江客運(00560.HK)旗下新渡輪經營的中環來往長洲及梅窩航線,以及北角來往紅磡及九龍城航線,則申請加價45%。
另外,富裕小輪經營的中環來往紅磡航線,申請加價22.2%,而來往北角、觀塘和啟德的航線,亦申請加價28.6%。
局方表示,政府會一如以往,以審慎的態度處理加價申請,考慮因素包括營辦商的收支財務情況及前景、公眾的接受程度和負擔能力等,並會繼續做好把關工作。
新渡輪回覆表示,提出加價主要是營運成本不斷攀升,尤其油價持續高企,較兩年前升逾兩倍;又指,一直面對難以招聘前線人員,需要考慮提升福利及培訓,另外新渡輪由今年年底起,將有新船陸續投入服務,部份新船的航速會提升,而且全面更新為空調客艙,故油耗量會明顯增加。
