Hi Cribpoint123,

We asked the Port of Hastings Development Authority to look into the discrepancy between the number of vessels we received and those you provided from their website.

They assured us that both are accurate. The number on their website is from the Port of Hastings Development Authority’s annual report and only includes import/export ships. The numbers provided to us by the Port includes cruise vessels and other non-cargo carrying vessels.

The 142 ships we quoted was an average of the past five years:

              FY                         No.

2013 - 2014                      131

2014 - 2015                      163

2015 - 2016                      167

2016 - 2017                      128

2017 - 2018                      125

We hope this clears up the discrepancy. Thank you for highlighting this issue to us.
