of a vessel entering this port as to which buoy he is to make

fast.

Failing this a very expensive system of fast steam

launches would have to be maintained or the Shipping Companies

would have to engage pilots to take the ship to her moorings.

As you are no doubt aware, the Shipping Community

here have always been opposed to the use of pilots for taking

vessels to their moorings as an unnecessary expense. The whole

scheme if carried out would, my Committee consider, not only be

unsatisfactory in its carrying out, but would entail a consider-

able and quite unnecessary increased tax on the shipping.

It is well understood that the shipping industry is

not in a flourishing condition and every care should be takən,

especially in such a port as Hongkong, to do nothing which would

tend to increase the charges on vessels visiting the port, and

thus to discourage their calling here.

I may

here repark that this point has been frequently

referred to in the Correspondence of this Chamber and at their

Meetings, and the question was very fully dealt with at the

Annual Meeting of this Chamber held on 23rd April, 1909.

My Committee now beg to suggest that as a counter-

proposal to the Government's scheme, such a relaying of moorings

be made as to meet the real necessities of the Shipping trade,

the cost of this relaying to be shared by the Government and the

Shipping Companies benefitting by the dahinge, but that those of

the regular Shipping Companies who make use of the Port continuota

ly should be allowed to own their own moorings as is done at

present.
