These figures are affected by the stoppage due to vessels of the China Navigation Co. being laid up from 1st July, 1927, to 7th September, 1927.
British river steamers show an increase of 3,273 ships and an increase of 1,826,653 tons. This increase in ships and tonnage is due to the vessels again running on the Canton and West rivers.
Foreign river steamers show an increase of 935 ships and an increase of 453,420 tons.
In steamships not exceeding 60 tons employed in foreign trade there is an increase of 5,064 ships with an increase in tonnage of 146,044 tons.
Junks in foreign trade show an increase of 9,027 vessels, and an increase of 1,651,325 tons.
In local trade (i.e., between places within the waters of the Colony) there is a decrease in steam-launches of 280,269 and a decrease in tonnage of 8,178,174 tons. This is partially due to the extension of the harbour limits, which now include places for which statistics were formerly required.
Junks in Local trade show a decrease of 2,355 vessels and an increase of 45,989 tons.
Of vessels of European construction 5,316 ocean steamers, 4,353 river steamers and 3,936 steamships not exceeding 60 tons entered during the year, giving a daily average of 37.3 ships.
