===Sea=== [[File:Wongwt 港澳碼頭 (17099188930).jpg|right|thumb|[[Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, Macau]]]] [[File:20091105-TurboJET Urzela.jpg|thumb|[[TurboJET]]'s Jetfoil (model [[Boeing 929]])]] Over 150 sea-crossing services are scheduled daily between Macau and Hong Kong,<ref name="Turbojet Service between Macau and Hong Kong">{{Cite web |url=http://www.turbojet.com.hk/turbojet_serviceroutes_rev.htm |title=Service Route, Onboard Service and Facilities of Turbojet |publisher=Shun Tak-China Travel Ship Management Limited |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070516025450/http://www.turbojet.com.hk/turbojet_serviceroutes_rev.htm |archive-date=May 16, 2007 |access-date=2007-05-24}}</ref> and the [[Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal, Macau|Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal]] serves as the major terminal for Macau's passenger traffic by sea. The route is served by high speed [[catamaran]]s (with passenger capacity of about 400) and [[jetfoil]]s (with passenger capacity of about 260) and the journey takes approximately one hour. There are also daily scheduled ferry services between Macau and [[Shenzhen]]. At present the services are operated by [[TurboJET]] from [[Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal|Sheung Wan]], [[China Hong Kong City|Tsim Sha Tsui]] and [[Skypier|Hong Kong International Airport]]. [[Cotai Water Jet]] also operates services between [[Taipa Ferry Terminal]] and the [[Hong Kong–Macau Ferry Terminal|Sheung Wan]], Tsim Sha Tsui and Hong Kong International Airport. Apart from the sea routes there are also regular scheduled helicopter services between Hong Kong and Macau, which are operated by [[Sky Shuttle]]. The trip takes approximately 20 minutes. A sea-crossing service has been launched by [[TurboJET]] which travels between the [[Hong Kong International Airport]] and Macau. This differs from the above Macau-Hong Kong route since travelers who arrive in Hong Kong by air do not have to go through Hong Kong immigration's passport control and can board a direct ferry to Macau through a special transfer terminal within the airport. On the return trip, travelers can directly reach the [[Hong Kong International Airport]] by ferry (a dedicated check-in desk for the service is available at the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal) and arrive at the airport without going through Hong Kong immigration's passport control, though airline check-in has to be done for some airlines within the airport prior to boarding a plane. Later on, the Cotai Water Jet launched the same service linking Hong Kong Airport and Macau but mostly embarked at Taipa Ferry Terminal. A new ferry terminal in Taipa, which is adjacent to the [[Macau International Airport]], was opened in 2017 and some of the passenger traffic by sea will be diverted to the new facility. It is expected to act as a major hub for passenger transfer between the [[Hong Kong International Airport]] and the Macau International Airport. From the [[Inner Harbour Ferry Terminal]] (Terminal Marítimo de Passageiros do Porto Interior), ferry services were available between Macau and Wanzai, [[Zhuhai]] until January, 2016 due to safety issues at the [[Wanzai Ferry Terminal]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.macaodaily.com/html/2016-01/17/content_1060962.htm |date=2016 |website=[[Macao Daily]] |language=zh |script-title=zh:澳門日報電子版 |trans-title=Inner port terminal will be suspended |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160315082433/http://www.macaodaily.com/html/2016-01/17/content_1060962.htm |archive-date=2016-03-15 |access-date=2017-03-05}}</ref> On 31 December 2019, the Macau government announced that the Wanzai Port will officially reopen on January 23 with an hourly immigration capacity of 3,840 crossings. To transport passengers between Macau and Zhuhai, the mainland ferry company Yuet Tung will arrange one ferry every 15 minutes, amounting to four ferries every hour. Each ferry can take a maximum of 280 passengers.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Zhu |first=Julie |url=https://macaudailytimes.com.mo/wanzai-port-to-accommodate-up-to-3840-crossings-per-hour.html |title=Wanzai Port to Accommodate Up To 3,840 Crossings Per Hour |date=31 December 2019 |work=[[Macau Daily Times]]}}</ref>
