39. The Government Slipway and Coaling Depot at Yaumati was kept busy throughout the year in routine slipping and fueling of Government craft. A great number of minor repairs are carried out at the Slipway while the craft are being slipped with a consequent saving of time and cost.
40. 10,030 tons of Coal, 33,374 Gallons of Kerosene, and 25,083 Gallons of Petrol were received at the Depot during the year and 9,620 tons of Coal, 32,758 Gallons of Kerosene and 24,396 gallons of Petrol were issued. 2,415 tons of Oil Fuel were received and issued.
41. Government launches were slipped eighty times at regular intervals during the year and the slip was occupied three hundred and sixteen days.
42. During the year a committee was appointed by Government to enquire into the number, use and running of Government launches. The Committee inter alia endorsed the policy of the Harbour Master in the matter of fuel for launches and agreed that the present arrangements for repairs to launches are satisfactory. They also agreed to the present allowances of stores and recommended constant checking and supervision.
43. A short summary of the facilities offered by the port of Hong Kong is given at the end of this report.
