Iconic floating restaurant starts to sink, could leave Hong Kong permanently as owners can’t afford to run it
According to The South China Morning Post, the latest mishap to befall the restaurant was the capsizing of a 30m kitchen barge attached to the main vessel.
Police and firefighters inspected the barge — which had tilted almost 90 degrees — and found that no one was injured or missing.
Investigations are still ongoing as to what exactly caused the capsizing.
Too expensive to repair and maintain
Just days prior, the company that owns Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Aberdeen Restaurant Enterprises, announced that it would be moving the vessel out of Hong Kong for repairs and storage.
