" SHIPS ~ GOVERNMENT VESSELS."

MNH ~ Odd - Shaped Miniature Sheet !

Hong Kong is a thriving port, renowned as one of the busiest in the world. To maintain the efficient operation of the port and provision of other marine services, various government departments maintain their own specialised vessels which are designed to perform a diverse range of duties, including patrolling, inspection and quarantine, water quality control, firefighting and hydrographic works, among others.

Hong Kong Post introduces for the first time, a vessel - shaped stamp sheetlet to highlight the theme of this set of stamps. With a light blue backdrop, the stamp sheetlet features six government vessels assembled in a line and ready to perform their duties.
