Hong Kong Annual Administration Reports, 1841-1941
COLONIAL REPORTS-ANNUAL.
In British river steamers an increase of 364 ships with a decreased tonnage of 212,137 tons, which is mainly due to the withdrawal of the large sized steamer Hankow and the addition of the two small Macao steamers Sui Tai and Sui An.
For foreign ocean vessels an increase of 334 ships of 627,380 tons is shown, which is wholly due to the Japanese firms increasing their carrying trade. Under this flag, an increase of 455 ships of 976,450 tons is found, with a general falling off under other flags.
For foreign river steamers an increase of 238 ships of 76,075 tons is shown, which can be accounted for by vessels under the German, Chinese, and Portuguese flags making more trips in 1907 than in 1906.
For junks in foreign trade, an increase of 1,411 vessels of 32,059 tons.
A decrease in local junk trade, 10,844 vessels of 263,768 tons which may be ascribed to the cessation of the naval extension work and to the falling off in conservancy boats.
The actual number of individual ocean-going ships of European construction entering during the year was 800, being 362 British and 438 foreign.
These 800 ships aggregated 1,860,245 tons. They entered 4,182 times and gave a collective tonnage of 7,467,511 tons. Thus compared with 1906, 70 less ships of 73,514 less tons, entered 170 more times and gave a collective tonnage increased by 306,183 tons.
The 800 vessels were divided as follows between the several nationalities:
