Explanatory Note.

(This Nole is not part of the regulations, but is intended to indicate their general purport).

Congestion in the approaches to the Naval Victualling Yard Chamber in Kowloon has been caused by the number of small craft hitherto allowed to lie alongside a vessel berthed moored to No. 5 North Berth of the Kowloon Wharf. It is also found desirable to extend the northern boundary of the Western Dangerous Gooda Anchorage.

The purpose and effect of these regulations are—–

(a) to restrict the number of small craft alongside a vessel moored

to No. 5 North Barth of the Kowloon Wharf to two; and

(b) to extend the northern boundary of the Western Dangerous Gooda

Anchorage to 22° 18' 36" north,

with certain consequential amendments.
