Parade of the adorned vessels started from Tsim Sha Tsui East, via the harbour off the Avenue of Star and the Cultural Centre, to reach the Central Pier. Besides Marine Department and Fire Services Department, police launches were deployed to patrol the harbour.

The Force carried out crowd management measures and special traffic arrangements on both sides of the harbour to facilitate public participation in the EAG Opening Ceremony and fireworks display and to ensure public safety.

About 3,000 officers have been mobilised to ensure that all the events of the EAG would proceed smoothly in a safe and secure environment.
