SHIPPING BUSINESS
AT BRITISH PORTS
RECENT TREND OF FIGURES
Figures received by cable from London regarding the entrances and clearances at British ports by British and foreign vessels show that though a greater volume of sea traffic is being dealt with at British ports, the increase is due to a growth in the amount of foreign shipping, the British tonnage using theso ports actually having diminished. The figures (in thousands of tons) for the past three years are as follows:— British. Foreign. Knt. Clear. Ent. Clear. 1931 ... 38.195 35.165 22.080 20 175 1932 ... 35,521 31,850 23.810 20.591 1933 ... 35,361 33,812 25.064 21.795 The above figures show that last year there was a drop of 7,154,000 tons compared with 1931 in the entrances and clearances of British vessels to and from British* ports, while foreign vessels increased by 4,604,000 tons. Owing to some modifications made by the Board of Trado in the method of compiling its figures a more accurate comparison is that between 1932 and 1933. Last year showed a drop from tho level of the previous year to the extent of 1,165,000 tons in British vessels using British ports, whereas foreign vessels increased by 2,419,000 tons
