PORT OF HONGKONG SHIPPING
FIRST HALF OF YEAR SHOWS DECREASE IN TONNAGE
The amount of shipping using creat Hongkong has not been 50 during the past six months as it was In the first half of 1930. The falling off, though it does not amount to nn enormous ngure, applies to all classes of shipping, however.
The total number of arrivals dur- ing the first half of this year, for example, was 5,007 ships with a tot tonnage of 0,354,343 tons, whe.cos in the Arst half of 1930 n texal of 5,084 ships entered this port and their total tonhage was 0,580,050,
Of these totals the major part is made up of overseas ships. During the first half of this year 2,713 ships have arrived from overseas with n total tonnage
tons, of 7,432,240 whereas in the Brat half of 1936, 2,763 ships entered with a total ion- nake of 7,548,107.
Passengers arriving here an de- parting show a marked increase, however, and evidently the tourist trade of the Colony is having a very favourable year. In 1930 during the first half, 908,220 passengers arrived, In the first half of this year, 1,128,201 passengers arrived. During the Arsl half of 1930, 045,583 passengers left the Colony, while during the frat half of this year 1,092,045 passengers departed.
Cargo handled by the
river steamers again shown a slight in- crease and demonstrates the gradual recovery of the river trade. During the first balf of last year 110,271 tons arrived by river steamer and 140,030 tons were despatched. Dur- ing the frat half of this year, 138,289 tors arrived and 156,893 tons were despatched.
