explained by the fact that four steamers which called at this Port in 1911 did not call in 1910. The decrease under the German flag is chiefly accounted for by the falling off in trade from Bangkok; while the decrease under the Chinese flag is due to the loss of the Meefoo and to the stoppage of two steamers which previously traded to this Port.
Foreign river-steamers have increased by 89 ships (or 6·6%) of 29,441 tons (or 4·1%). This is mainly accounted for by the new steamers Shing Ping and Licorne contributing 72 trips, and to an increase in trips of vessels under the Portuguese flag.
As in former years, a comparison is inserted between the shipping of the port twenty years ago, and to-day. In 1891, 2,856 British ships of 3,593,223 net register tons entered the port, against 10,778 ships of 11,706,731 net register tons in 1911: an increase of 277·3% in numbers and of 225·8% in tonnage. These figures include ocean and river-steamers and ocean-going sailing ships (not junks). Similarly, foreign shipping, during the same period, has increased from 1,495 ships of 1,545,404 net register tons in 1891, to 5,603 ships of 8,653,697 net register tons; an increase of 274·7% in numbers and of 459·9% in tonnage.
The actual number of individual ocean vessels of European type of construction entering during 1911 was 720, being 348 British and 372 foreign. The corresponding figures for 1910 were 734, 365 and 369 respectively.
These 720 ships aggregated 1,796,498 tons. They entered 4,049 times, giving a collective tonnage of 7,756,033 tons. Thus, as shown in the following table, in 1911 as compared with 1910, 14 less ships with a tonnage decreased by 8,177 tons, entered 235 less times, and gave a collective tonnage less by 356,952 tons.
