22 May 2026 China Harbour Engineering Company LimitedChina Harbour Engineering: 78,000 HKD for discharge into water control zone Hong KongEmissions and permits €8,584

In April 2026 China Harbour Engineering Company Limited was fined 78,000 HKD at the Eastern Magistrates' Courts (a Hong Kong magistrates' court) under the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (Hong Kong's water pollution law) because the company had discharged waste or polluting matter into a water control zone on 14 July 2025; the prosecution was brought by the Environmental Protection Department (Hong Kong's environmental authority). It was the highest fine among the 40 environmental convictions the department published for April 2026.

What organisations can take from it

Discharges into waters must be authorised in advance and monitored continuously – a single incident is enough for a criminal conviction in Hong Kong.
