Junks in Foreign Trade show a decrease of 377 vessels of 256,040 tons, or 16 per cent in numbers and 8.7 per cent in tonnage.
This decrease is probably due to the restrictions on Junks arriving and clearing.
In Local Trade (i.e., trade between places within the waters of the Colony) there is an increase in Steam Launches of 8,764 vessels with a decrease in tonnage of 256,650 tons or 1.9 per cent in numbers and 20 per cent in tonnage. This is explained by the fact that smaller launches have taken the place of the larger launches which are being used as Examination Vessels.
In Local Trade Junks there is shown an increase of 6,465 vessels of 149,219 tons or 172 per cent in numbers and 110 per cent in tonnage. This is explained by the fact that a better control is now exercised, as these crafts have to report themselves and get a permit to pass outward through the Examination Service.
The actual number of individual Ocean-going vessels of European construction entering during 1915 was 724, of which 310 were British and 414 were Foreign. In 1914 the corresponding figures were 825, 385 British and 440 Foreign.
These 724 ships measured 1,824,395 tons. They entered 3,824 times, and gave a collective tonnage of 7,181,699 tons. Thus there were 101 fewer ships and 402 fewer entries giving a collective tonnage reduced by 1,286,910 tons, an average of 3,201.2 tons per entry.
