Foreign river steamers show an increase of 434 ships with an increase in tonnage of 152,627 tons or 4.4 per cent. in numbers and 2.5 per cent. in tonnage. This increase is due to the "Hui Hoi," "Taion," and "Wo Fu," which were originally steam lighters being converted into river steamers. The increase in tonnage is due to the above-mentioned vessels and the 'tweendeck space measurements being included in the tonnage.
The actual number of individual ocean-going vessels of European construction during the year 1922 was 1,092, of which 410 were British and 682 foreign. In 1921 the corresponding figures were 988, of which 343 were British and 645 foreign.
These 1,092 ships measured 3,202,516 tons. They entered 5,318 times and gave a collective tonnage of 11,000,748 tons.
Thus 104 more ships entered 6 more times and gave a collective tonnage greater by 956,326 tons, an average of 11,120.0 tons per entry.
