Its first generation commenced in 1935, but it was destroyed by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1942 during Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. Its second generation commenced in 1958 and was located near modern-day Nina Tower on Yeung Uk Road. It was demolished in 1983 due to reclamation for the construction of Tsuen Wan Road and Clague Garden Estate. Its third generation, located at reclamation area outside Tsuen Wan Road, commenced in 1983, together with Tsuen Wan Transport Complex and Tsuen Wan Ferry Bus Terminus. It provided four ferry routes, Tsuen Wan to Tsing Yi, Tsuen Wan to Central, Tsuen Wan to Central via Tsing Yi and Tsuen Wan to Tai O ferry services. But it was demolished in 2000 due to the reclamation for the construction of Tsuen Wan West Station. The ferry routes also ceased operation. Its fourth generation, i.e. the current pier, commenced in 2002 and is located at reclamation area outside Tsuen Wan West Station.〔(荃葵青交通總站巡禮 - 荃灣碼頭 (1) (Chinese Version) )〕 A ferry route travelling between the pier and Park Island, a private housing estate in Ma Wan, was operated during 10 years by Park Island Transport Company Limited.
