DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY
The Minister has asked me to thank you for your letter
dated 23 January in which you drew his attention to
the Resolution of the Fair Fractices Committee of the
International Transport Workers Federation relating
to the possible establishment of a separate shipping
register in Hong Kong. The contents of the
Resolution have been noted.
There will be further consultations with your
Association before decisions are taken. The only
comment on the Resolution which it seems desirable to
make at this stage concerns point 5 where reference
is made to "the Hong Kong" flag. The intention is
that, if a separate Hong Kong register is set up,
the ships on it would continue to fly the Red Ensign.
