To Kau Wan
To Kau Wan (Chinese: 倒扣灣) is a site on the north shore of northeast Lantau Island, Hong Kong.[1][2] It provides convenient access to Hong Kong International Airport, as well as a pier that accommodates barges.[1]
In the early 21st century, To Kau Wan was used as a soil decontamination site.[3] Contaminated soil from Cheoy Lee Shipyard at Penny's Bay was transported to a plant in To Kau Wan for cement solidification, a process which was completed in early 2003.[4] From mid-2003, soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) was treated there using microorganisms for biopiling.[4]
In October 2025, the fuselage and tail section of the Boeing 747-400 freight airplane, which crashed while operating as Emirates SkyCargo Flight 9788, were transported to To Kau Wan.[2]
