MARINE SURVEYOR'S OFFICE.
3. During the year, 188 vessels of 421,521 gross register tons were surveyed for Passen- Certificate and Bottom Inspection.
Of these, 115 of 297,811 tons were British and 73 of 123 710 tons were Foreign vessels viz.:-51 German of 86,139 tons, 9 French of 13,178 tons, 6 Chinese of 12,821 tons, 5 Norwegian of 6,439 tons, and 2 Italian of 5,133 tons." A comparison with the work for 1885, so far as Passenger Certificate and Bottom Inspection are concerned, may be of
interest.
In that year the total tonnage surveyed was 242,801, of which 177,388 was British and 65,413 foreign.
The increase in British and Foreign shipping combined is, therefore, 178,720 tons or 73.6 per cent., as compared with that of twenty years ago.
In British shipping the proportion is 120,423 tons or 67.9 per cent. and in Foreign shipping 58,297 tons or 89.1 per cent,
During the year, 92 emigration surveys were held, of which 49 were on British and 44 on Foreign vessels; 17 vessels were measured for registration purposes, and 1 Foreign vessel for certificate of British tonnage; 1 inspection of crew space and 7 minor inspections took place.
193 passenger launches were surveyed, 23 boilers were inspected during construction, and 172 inspections of Government launches were made while under repair.
