Police said that initial investigation showed the cause of fire was not suspicious.
Last September, five people, including two boys, escaped serious injury in Hong after they jumped for their lives from a burning speed boat off Ap Lei Chau.
The vessel was leaving Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter when its engine caught fire. A minor explosion was reported.
The three men and two boys on board had to jump into the sea. They were soon rescued by a nearby boat that rushed to help them.
