PUNCLE MOORING BUOYS (N

THE HARBOUR.

3 he following correspondence was read at the last monthly meeting of the longkong Chamber of Commerce - D

Colonial Secretary's Office, 6th August, 1977. Sed rected to bring to the notice of the Committed of the Chamber of Commerce The following facts 3-

1

(1) The greater part of the ay ilable space in abe Habour is now taken up by private moor ing buaya, of which 43 are now taid. Of these more than half are always unoccupied, and as on vessel can anchor in their vicinity, this means that more than half the Harbour is constantly alienated from its legitimate ure, and the out of the way localities are con sequently overcrowded,

[1

This condition has led t.complaints on the part of owners, or their representatives, of vessels which have no private moorings,

(2) Various methods of dealing with this state of things have been suggested, but the obvious ons of berthing vessele, belonging to ownen who have no private moorings, at the | unoccupied banys, is that which commends itself to the Government as the best solution, It is therefore proposed to do so for the future, having due regard, however, to the prior right of owners of private moorings to the use of those moorings.

.

(a) in order that such rights shall be culy maintained, it is suggested that the owners should notify the ilarbour Master on any of their buoys becoming vacant, when they expect the arrival of another of their yeasols to occup it. The Harbour Mister, will then make arrangements for the buoy in question to be ready for such vessel, on arrival.

(4) in order to give effect to the above it is proposed to amend Table (a) of the Merchant Shipping Ordianoce in accordance with the No-closed draft ale. 1 he fees would be collected

(5) The fee payable by the master of any ship sing by the direction of the Harbour Master any morings and buoy's not the property of the owner of such ship for the use of such moulings and buoys shall be at the rate of bent per net registered ion per day with a minimum charge per day of $5.00.

On the other hand, there are great numbers of vessels of large tonnage, both mall teamers and others, which are constantly passing through Hongkong, These do not as a rule take Hongkong their terminus and frequently only remain bere a few hours, but it is for this very reason that it is all the more necessary they should be sure to advance of a place to go to where their mork can be carried out expeditiounely and it was this necessity which gave size to the system of private moorings.

Telegraphic communicationisio widely etablished that a steamer's departure is in variably telegraphed from the last part of call and the Agents are thus informed at the least some, 48 hours before her arrival here... This enables any one who understands his business to make arrangements in ample time for the bestbing of his steamer prior to her arrival, should be desire to place her in any particular part of the harbour and to find out whether a permanent mooring belonging to another Company will be available during the time his vessel is in port.
