SHIPBUILDING
Modern ships have been built and repaired in Hong Kong for nearly 90 years-and boats and junks for centuries. There are four major graving docks and nearly 200 slipways at shipyards which can handle anything from tankers and liners down to sailing dinghies. The ship and boat builders are now adapting to present day needs and making new world-wide rep- utations by carrying out large-scale ship conversions, building specialised small ships and boats, and producing a wide range of pleasure craft in fibreglass, wood and other materials. Vessels of all kinds are still brought thousands of miles for repair or overhaul in Hong Kong-partly because of competitive prices but also because of the speed and efficiency with which work is carried out.
