(a) A large part of the increase in the entrances and clearances in 1912 is due to a change in the mode of recording vessels calling at foreign ports in the course of a voyage from one port in the United Kingdom to another. Further considerable tonnage representing vessels landing or embarking mails or bullion, but no other cargo, has been recorded as "with cargo" since the beginning of 1912. Such vessels were previously recorded as " in ballast."

(b) The tonnage of vessels employed by the Government in connection with the War is not included in the figures for 19141920: on the other hand, the figures for 1914 were increased to an unknown extent in consequence of the re-measurement of certain steam vessels on the coming into full force, at the commencement of that year, of the provisions of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1907.

(c) As from April 1st, 1923, trade between ports in Great Britain and ports in the Irish Free State and trade between ports in Northern Ireland and ports in the Free State, both of which were previously recorded as coasting trade, have been recorded as foreign trade. Further, as from the same date, the trade of ports in the Irish Free State with ports outside Great Britain and Ireland, and the trade of one Free State port with another, have been excluded from the navigation returns of the United Kingdom.
