Hong Kong, which is recognised as being one of the greatest ports in the world on the basis of shipping tonnage, was considerably affected by the hostilities, although the decrease in shipping was compensated for to a certain extent by the temporary closure of Shanghai as an international port.
During the year under review, 4,322 British ocean-going vessels entered and cleared the harbour as compared with 4,616 in 1936. To this number should be added 5,202 foreign ocean-going vessels, which had amounted to 6,364 in the previous year.
River steamers, launches, and foreign trade junks also saw an appreciable diminution, the figures for each class being 7,695, 4,082, and 12,481 respectively.
The tonnage fell from 40,063,663 in 1936 to 36,191,724 in 1937.
Some 4,775 inward-bound ocean-going vessels were boarded by Port Health Officers.
Vessels from Canton, Macao, and West River ports and smaller craft were visited when information was at hand of sickness or death. They were also inspected periodically by the Health Inspector with the object of encouraging a higher standard of cleanliness, and for purposes of deratisation.
