Date: Friday 16 July 2004   Time: 1500 hours   Venue: NWFB Route 13 bus stop at Star Ferry Pier, Central (near City Hall)"

Unfortunately this launch was postponed, owing to a typhoon in Hong Kong, however the above photographs show fleet no. 3302 carrying the new livery, operating Route 15 on Tuesday 20th July.
