MORE LAID-LT TONNAGE T!ic effect Of the recent decline in freight rates and general unsettlement of markets is clearly reflected In the latest Chamber of Shipping returns o*' laid-up tonnage In Great Britain, states the Syren and Shipping. In 12 months the total has Increased almost sevenfold, and in the last quarter alone It has risen by over 100,000 tons. The figures for October 1 are 190 vessels of 363,252 tons net (037.171 tons gross), compared with 159 of 245.299 tons net on July 1 and 53 of 53,309 tons on October 1, 1937. The increase over the quarter Is 37.2 per cent., and that over the whole year Is 358 per cent. Included in the total tfre 12 vessels of 13,816 tons which have,-been Idle for a year or longer, and 18 tankers of 70,357 tons. The net change in the total tonnage on the United Kingdom register during the quarter ended September 30 was an Increase of 07,000 tons gross; f.a the lald-up tonnage rose by 193,000 gross In that period, there must therefore have been a decrease of 126,000 tons gross in the tonnage of British vessels In commission. The port with the largest Idle fleet is Newcaslle-on-Tyne, with 31 vessels of 67,005 tons net, followed by Liverpool, 28 of 47,648 tons.
