Junks in foreign trade show an increase of 5,659 vessels and an increase of 873,853 tons or 25.9 per cent. in numbers and 33.4 per cent. in tonnage.
In local trade, (i.e. between places within the waters of the Colony) there is a decrease in steam-launches of 21,682 and a decrease of 462,528 tons or 35 per cent. in numbers and 32 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to bigger launches being employed in local ferry services, making fewer trips.
Junks in local trade show an increase of 2,007 vessels and an increase of 102,377 tons or 9.5 per cent. in numbers and 7.9 per cent. in tonnage. This is due to more junks being employed on reclamation.
This table shows an increase in British ocean-going shipping of 457 ships or 109 per cent. and an increase of 896,114 tons or 107 per cent. This increase is due to newly-built ships and enemy ships transferred to the British flag and various steamship lines running their eastern trade which were elsewhere employed during war times.
British river steamers have decreased by 605 ships with an increase in tonnage of 262,309 tons or 117 per cent. in numbers and 80 per cent. in tonnage. This increase is due to the s.s. Chuen Chow, which was laid up being again put on the Macao run.
Foreign ocean-going vessels have increased by 409 ships with an increase of 1,593,861 tons or 75 per cent. in numbers and 17.2 per cent. in tonnage. This increase is due to the large amount of new American, Norwegian and Chinese vessels frequenting the Port and enemy vessels being transferred to other nationalities.
Foreign river steamers show an increase of 69 ships with an increase in tonnage of 2,878 tons or 38 per cent. in numbers and 0.5 per cent. in tonnage. This increase is due to two Chinese ships which were added to the Wuchow service at the end of last year making regular trips throughout the year.
The actual number of individual ocean-going vessels of European construction during the year 1921 was 988 of which 343 were British and 645 foreign. In 1920 the corresponding figures were 927 of which 330 were British and 597 foreign.
These 988 Ships measured 2,713,098 tons. They entered 5,232 times and gave a collective tonnage of 10,044,422 tons.
Thus 61 more ships entered 425 more times and gave a collective tonnage greater by 1,242,802 tons, an average of 2,924.2 tons per entry.
