NWFF  新世界第一渡輪服務有限公司

New World First Ferry Services Limited (traditional Chinese: 新世界第一渡輪服務有限公司) (in short New World First Ferry, First Ferry or NWFF) is a ferry service company in Hong Kong. The company was established in November 1999, when it took over the 8 licensed ferry routes transferred from the Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry. It is jointly owned by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited and NWS Holdings Limited.

When the company commenced its service on the 2000-01-15, it bought 14 ferries and rented 7 hovercrafts and catamarans from its predecessor. Since then it introduced 10 fast vessels on Outlying Islands routes to phase out the rented vessels and to improve services.

It operates the following routes:
* Central to Cheung Chau and Mui Wo
* Circular between Peng Chau, Mui Wo, Chi Ma Wan, and Cheung Chau
* North Point to Hung Hom and Kowloon City
* North Point to Joss House Bay (大廟灣) (special service which only operates on Tin Hau-birthday-festival)

Its sister company, New World First Ferry Services (Macau) Limited, operates a fast ferry service between Kowloon (China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui) and Macau (Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Pier), which was operated by the Hongkong and Yaumati Ferry until January 2000.
