Hong Kong's Marine Police Southern Division is based in the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter.
As neighbors in the Shelter, their presence is reassuring. They maintain a number of craft in the Harbour, ranging from ocean going patrol launches to smaller tactical "go fast boats".
The largest of these is PL 6 56 "Detector". This craft patrols the sea lanes as well as the areas around the dozens of islands that are under Hong Kong's jurisdiction.
I see her mast lights at night and pass her daily as she makes her early morning and nightly patrols, returning to her dock at the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter.
I wish her and her crew well in the work that they do patrolling one of the worlds busiest waterways.
