The addition of three new ferry routes to the Pac On terminal could boost the number of visitor arrivals to Macau by 1 million per year, says Union Gaming Research Macau. The Maritime Administration is currently assessing three proposals from ferry companies wanting to operate three new routes from the Pac On temporary terminal. A decision is to be announced in two weeks time, according to the government. Union Gaming analyst Bill Lerner wrote in a note that the new routes will especially help Cotai casino operators, with Sands China Ltd. likely to benefit the most. He added sailing might start by year-end.
