As an offset aeainst the Bahrain craft sold
bo foreign ports, 27 sailing craft and four
motor launches were brought to and regis-
bered in Bahrain; and^ against the 35 craft
broken up, 24 new sailing craft and one
motor launch were built locally, and duly
registered.
The boatbuilding industry is in a state of
depression, consequent upon the depression
in the pearling industry.
The visits of foreign native craft to this
port may be compared as follows:-
Origin Year 1352 Year 1353.
Arabian mainland 610 560
Kuwait 72
Oman Coast 17E 133
Persian coast 3^1 170
^raq 162 101
India 63 45
Africa 7 7
1,443 1,088
This reduction is somewhat disappointing, as
it is important for the well being of many
aoor ueople in Bahrain that the native craft
traffic should be active, ana so maintain
local employment. It is explained to some
extent by (1) an increase in steamers» cargoes
due to the reduction in the cost of freight
by the B.I.o.N.Go., Ltd.. ana (2) certain
monopolies declared oy the Iranian Govern-
ment having hampered the cross-gulf traffic,
and reduced to practically one half.
Aiiother factor in connection with the main
land traffic is that coasting craft are carry-
ine commodities landed at D'bai where there
"is 0 no import duty, and consequently such gooas
will be slightly cheaper in cost than if they
were landed at Bahrain.
For some vears there has been an opinion that
native crafts carryin: exports from Bahrain
should carry maniiests 01 the ir cargo. It
is now thought that the time is ripe for the
introduction of this system in Bahrain ana
