In addition to the above, 24 boats were at the time of visit found with the cabin
doors locked, there being no person on board. Inspection was therefore impossible,
therefore these visits are not included in the number of boats inspected.
The total number of boats inspected shows a decrease on the previous year, this
being accounted for by the suspension of labour in the Docks during the months of May
and June, during which period there was little movement of vessels in the Port.
