The plant consists of (1) a hulk, the "Aldecoa", which provides facilities for the bathing of passengers and the disinfection and disinfestation of their belongings in two steam disinfectors; (2) a barge equipped with a B-type Clayton machine; (3) an A-type Clayton machine, and (4) apparatus such as Dutch ovens and sprays. This equipment was added to in September, 1937, by a reconditioned launch with an A-type Clayton machine.
Deratisation and Deratisation Exemption Certificates issued in 1937 amounted to a total of ninety-one and eighty-eight respectively as compared with seventy-nine and fifty-eight in the previous year.
The sanitary control of aerial navigation, which had been rendered possible by the application of the International Sanitary Convention for Aerial Navigation to Hong Kong on the 1st of August, 1935, by legislation under the Quarantine and Prevention of Diseases Ordinance in the following year, was further strengthened by regulations governing aircraft promulgated in the Government Gazette on the 17th of December, 1937.
Several new air services were inaugurated during the year and the following companies make regular calls at Hong Kong: Imperial Airways, Pan-American Airways, China National Aviation Corporation and the Eurasia Corporation.
No cases of infectious disease were discovered in passengers and crew arriving by air and no reports were received of such illness in persons who had left Hong Kong by air.
