LONDON’S SHIPPING
HUGE TONNAGE INCREASE RECORDED
LONDON, Tuesday
The Port of London has broken all records by handling 2,000,000 tons more shipping from April to October than in the corresponding period of last year. The increase in the tonnage handled this year should reach 4,000,000, and should total 60,000,000.
The reasons for this greater activity are the increase in berthing facilities, the transference of industry from the north of England to the south, and the establishment of works and factories on the banks of the River Thames.
