SHIP BUILDING
BRITAIN’S INCREASED OUTPUT. • United Press Association— By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) LONDON, November 3. The output of shipbuilding in 1935-36 was greater that in the last four years, and there is evidence that the activity will continue indefinitely, according to the annual report of Lloyd’s Register of Shipping. “The amount of laid-up tonnage has been .Winced from 12,000,000 three years ago to 4.500,000,” says the report. “This is largely due to the breaking up of surplus ships. The large number of orders for new vessels m the last year reflects a more confident feeling in the shipping industry. _ “A considerable increase m international trade is still necessary to complete the revival of the shipping and shipbuilding industries.; but the geneial outlook is encouraging,” adds the report.
