3. During the year, the total number of vessels surveyed for Passenger Certificate and Bottom Inspection were 197 of 439,238 gross register tons, an increase of 9 vessels and 17,717 tons, as compared with the previous year.
The nationalities and tonnage of these vessels were as follows:-
British-121 vessels of 301,679 tons.
German-45 vessels of 104,976 tons.
French-9 vessels of 11,334 tons.
Norwegian-7 vessels of 10,821 tons. Chinese vessels of 10,428 tons.
-
As
Emigration surveys were held on 81 vessels, 40 of which were British and 41 Foreign. The number of boilers built under inspection, viz. :-14, is much below the average. most of these boilers are intended for passenger launches licensed to run locally, this will give some idea of the poor state of trade in the launch building, small engineering and boiler making establishments.
