The construction of the slipway was carried out as an extra work under the contract for the reclamation of the area opposite K.M.L.s 29-31 and was completed. An indent for the steelwork for the pier was despatched in May but, owing to the outbreak of war, no advice of the materials had been received up to the end of the year.

A contract for the erection of the whole of the buildings was let to Messrs. Wing Lee & Co. on the 27th July and by the end of the year substantial progress had been made with all of them.
