(a) A new drydock of 400-450 ft. is being constructed near Causeway Bay, Hongkong. Machinery for its development is being assembled there.

(a) Two ships believed to be the "Haiyang" and the "Haitan" are reported to have been salvaged at Douglas Wharf, Hongkong. Also H.M.S. "Thracien has been salvaged and docked at the Naval Dockyard.
