Speaking on a radio programme, she said operations at the crossing ran smoothly on its first day of opening on Monday and that extra resources are being arranged for public transport, with bus and minibus operators promising more manpower, vehicles and services. "We will not become complacent," Chan said. "Very soon we'll have the long Chung Yeung Festival holiday. So during our trial runs, we had already prepared contingency plans for high passenger and vehicle flows." Shenzhen authorities reported that the revamped port processed 79,500 passenger trips on its opening day, with 41,300 heading north and 38,200 heading south, along with 8,000 vehicle trips. Chan also said nearly 300 mainland captains had already finished their training and assessments here under a scheme starting this Friday, which would see yachts registered in Guangdong allowed into Hong Kong. She added that the Marine Department has set up a real-time monitoring system to track yacht movements and will step up patrols.
