The year 1932 showed a slight decrease in the amount of shipping using the Port of Hong Kong, the largest decrease being in Foreign Ocean Going Steamers. Details of the comparison between the years 1931 and 1932 will be found in Table II.
2. Foreign Going Shipping entering and clearing showed an increase of 558 vessels with a decrease of 139,743 tons net, while Local Shipping showed a further decrease of 185,372 tons.
3. The largest decrease was in Japanese Shipping—a decrease of 1,113,226 tons entered and cleared as compared with 1931. This was caused mainly by the anti-Japanese boycott during the year under review.
4. British Ocean Going Shipping has increased by 660,846 tons while British River Steamers show an increase of 41,474 tons.
5. The River Steamer Trade continued to increase, with more frequent sailings on all routes. Table VIII shows the cargo and passengers reported at this office as having been carried by River Steamers.
6. The Junk Trade given in Tables IX to XI shows a small increase in numbers and tonnage for those in Foreign Trade with a decrease in respect of Local Trade. The increase in Foreign Trade is due to increased Imports and Exports, and the decrease in Local Trade can be accounted for by some of the junks being employed in Foreign trade.
7. In Steamships not exceeding sixty tons employed in Foreign trade there is a small increase in number with a decrease in tonnage which is accounted for by smaller launches being used for towing purposes. Details of launches entered and cleared are shown in Tables XII and XIII.
8. On the 31st December, 1932, there were 277 launches and 195 motor boats employed in the harbour. Of these, 404 were licensed for the conveyance of passengers, 27 steam launches and 18 motor boats belonged to the Colonial Government, three steam launches belonged to the Imperial Government and 15 steam launches and five motor boats to the Naval Authorities. There were also eleven motor boats owned for pleasure and private purposes. 28 Class I licences, 20 Class II licences and 81 Class III licences were issued during the year.
9. The Certificates of five Coxswains were suspended for incompetence or negligence in performing their duties. Two Coxswain's and one Engineer's Certificates were cancelled by order of the Governor in Council.
10. 854 engagements and 861 discharges of Coxswains and Engineers were recorded.
