IDLE SHIPPING Reduction in Tonnage Partly owing to the large number of steamers sent to the shipbreakers, helped in several important countries by subsidised demolition schemes, idle shipping throughout the world has shown a substantial reduction in the past 12 months. The latest available statistics give a world total of 9.685,009 tons gross register. or approximately 16 per cent, of the total steam and motor tonnage in existence, whereas a year ago a similar compilation gave the total as 13,522,000 tons, or 20 per cent, of the tonnage then owned, and in October, 1932. the figures reached 15.000.000 tons, or 22 per cent. , Japan. Greece and Denmark are the most favourably placed of the maritime nations, with 4. 5, and 6 per cent, of their fleets idle. Britain and Norway follow with 11 and 12 per cent., and Italy, despite her considerable Government subsidy, has 14 per cent. Holland has onefifth of her mercantile marine idle, France one-fourth, and the United States a third.
