Based on returns received from the Hong Kong Shipowners Association and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, degree of support anticipated with respect to the establishment of a separate Hong Kong Shipping Register is as follows:-

A certain percentage of tonnage already on the register will of course remain for some time and considering vessels of 1,000 tons and over, this could amount to 60 ships totalling about 500,000 gross tons (approx. 900,000 D.W. tons).
In summary therefore the size of the register could be:-
No. of ships

It is estimated it might take up to 2 years for the
associated legislation to be introduced..
