The latter were constructed in 1919-21. One has a length of 1,000 metres and the other a length of 560 metres. In the year 1908 the building of a screw-pile wharf, 500 metres long and 10 metres broad, with a depth alongside of 7.50 metres at low water, was finished. It runs approximately parallel with the shore, and has eleven godowns adjacent to it covering an area of about 9,000 square metres. The trade of Macassar has advanced with such rapid strides that from time to

time to time important extensions have had to be made. In 1917 a quay with a length of 1,340 metres was completed, where ships of 9 metres draught ean moor even at low tide. A lighter harbour has been made with a quay of about 600 metres and 26 short screw-pile wharves. The extension of godowns and sheds keeps pace with that of the quays, so that the so-called new harbour has 5,500 square metres devoted to sheds in addition to 41,000 metres which can be used for open-air storage. On the north-side of the harbour reclamation works have been executed on a large scale, serving for storing coal, oil and fuel.

Island of Borneo

Pontianak.-Pontianak, which is situated at the junction of the small Kapœas River, is the principal trading centre in the West Coast of Borneo Residency. There is a wharf 150 metres long, behind which there is a space of 800 square metres available for storage purposes. There is further a Customs examination shed with a floor space of about 500 square metres. The export of copra and cocoanut-oil is very considerable.

Bandjarmasin.- Bandjermasin is also a fairly important commercial centre. It lies on the Martapoera River, a few kilometres above the junction of that river with the Barito River in the Residency of South and East Borneo. In addition to the screw-pile wharf, 246 metres long and 11 metres wide, which was completed in 1911, there are several other small landing stages on the right bank of the Martapoera river. There are Customs offices and storage godowns adjoining the harbour.
