Adamasta Rock ( Chinese: 北長洲石; lit. 'north Cheung Chau rock') [1] is an uninhabited undersea rock in Hong Kong, in the centre of the busy Adamasta Channel between the Chi Ma Wan Peninsula of Lantau Island and Cheung Chau island, in Hong Kong. [1] It falls within the Islands District.
The rock is submerged at high water and presents a significant shipping hazard due to its location in the middle of the Adamasta shipping channel. The Hong Kong Marine Department has installed a fixed beacon ( isolated danger) on the rock and two cardinal buoys on either side to warn shipping. [2]
On Sunday 8 May 2011, the river trader "Zhong Fu Fa Zhan" grounded on the rock. [3]
