To Kau Wan

To Kau Wan is a site on the north shore of northeast Lantau Island, Hong Kong. It provides convenient access to Hong Kong International Airport, as well as a pier that accommodates barges. In the early 21st century, To Kau Wan was used as a soil decontamination site. 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. From mid-2003, soil contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC) was treated there using microorganisms for biopiling. 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.
