New inventory in a full city
Prime land sites for outdoor media are scarce and slow to permit. The harbour is the most viewed space in Hong Kong and has barely been used for media.
Be part of it
Back the harbour's new screen.
AdBarge Limited is raising funds for the first vessel. Companies and individuals welcome.
The thesis
Why here. Why now.
Two kinds of buyer
Premium faces and bundles for big launches, plus a long tail of brands booking Shared Loop slots online, so the screen earns from both ends of the market.
Asset-light by design
The barge and tugs are chartered, not bought. The company owns the LED, containers, platform and contracts, all of which can move to another harbour.
An operator already on the water
Victoria Waters brings the marine partners, crews, permit experience and existing client requests on day one.
How it earns
Five revenue lines from one asset.
The launch rate card is public on the Reserve page. Utilisation assumptions and returns are in the private deck.

Why now
The harbour needs a new show.
