Of the above 49,900 vessels of 35,011,533 tons were engaged in Foreign Trade as compared with 50,427 vessels of 20,543,564 tons in 1922.

Table I shows an increase in British Ocean-going shipping of 842 ships or 18.5 per cent, and an increase of 1,533,250 tons or 15.8 per cent. This increase in ships and Tonnage is due to new Steamers built in Europe being put on the Eastern trade, new Steamers locally built being put on the Coasting trades, the Norwegian s.s. "Helios" put under British Registry and re-named the "Wong Shek Kung".

Foreign Ocean-going vessels have increased by 1,153 ships, and by 2,389,646 tons or 18.9 per cent. in numbers and 19.4 per cent. in tonnage. This increase in ships and tonnage is due to new German Steamers being put on the Eastern trade, new Spanish Mail Steamers being put on the Eastern trade, the Chinese s.s. “Ling Nam” being put on the South American trade. New Nippon Yusen Kaisha Steamers being put on the run to Europe and a number of new vessels put on the Coasting trade principally Dutch and Norwegian. The British s.s. “Wong Shek Kung" being put under the Chilian Flag and the s.s. "Haimun" being put under Panama Flag. The s.s. “Dashtestan” being put under the Portuguese Flag and renamed the s.s. "Coloan".

Steamers “Lung Shan" being put on the Canton run.

British River Steamers have increased by 1,142 ships with an increase in tonnage of 1,967,123 tons or 23.1 per cent. in numbers and 52.7 per cent. in tonnage. This increase in ships and tonnage is due to new River Steamers "Lung Shan" being put on the Canton run, the “Kuang Fook Cheung" being put on the West River run and the Chinese River Steamer “Wah Kiu” renamed the "Fook Sing" and put under British Registry.

Foreign River Steamers show a decrease of 353 ships with a decrease in tonnage of 74,985 tons or 8.3 per cent. in numbers and 10.2 per cent. in tonnage. This decrease in ships and tonnage is due to a number of vessels being unable to run owing to the unsettled state on the West River and the Chinese Steamer “Wah Kiu” being put under British Registry and renamed "Fook Sing".
