Memorandum Concerning Steamlaunches • RĒC?

Rros 15 SEP 10:

In the course of my investigations into the work

of the Harbour General Office and Junk Traffic I was struck by

what I thought a want of uniform and proper control of the Steam

-launches and I venture to offer a few remarks on the subject.

It cannot but happen that sometimes irregularities escape

detection but such cases do not change regulations. For instance

clause 7 of the Licence is not adhered to, it states as follows:

"If the owner of a licensed steam-ship under 60

tons wishes to employ his vessel without the

waters of the Colony, for purposes other than

that for which the licence was granted the

licence shall be delivered to the Harbour Master

to be retained by him during the period of such

employment."

Stɛan-shipa under 60 tons

licensed or not -

clear at the Harbour Office and the above rule is not complied

with.

A vessel clears for outside the waters of the

Colony and receives a Day Clearance Form H.219 - or a Night

Clearance Form H. 220. Upon her returning to port these

Clearances are returned to the Harbour Office when the vessel

receives an Anchorage Pass-Form H. 218 - the Fee for which is $0.25. All such vessels also hold a "Special Permit” - Form

WH. 221

Jee $0.25 and valid for one month. This "Special

Permit" frees a vessel of the obligations laid down in Sub- -sections fà, 12, and 15 of the Section 37 of Ordinance 10 of

1899 while the vessel is within the waters of the Colony.

A

In my opinion the Anchorage Pass Ferm H. 218

and the Special Permit Form H. 221 only cause unnecessary

clerical work and expenditure; they should be abolished. The

Licence should be a sufficient warrant - as stated in the

Licence itself - for a vessel "to ply for hire within the

Harbour limits or between ports in the Island of Hongkong".
