(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, November 4. Reports of “Lloyd’s Register” for the shipping year ended June 30 last record a continuance of the depression in the shipbuilding industry. It says the tonnage of new vessels classed by Lloyds during the year namely 885,000 is the lowest recorded for fifteen years except the second year of the war, representing only 27 per cent, of that of 1920-21, and 55 per cent, of the total of 1922-23. It is mentioned that 454 vessels with a tonnage of 600,000 were lost and 500 vessels with a tonnage of 1,250,000 were dismantled or broken up, the last figure being twice that of the year ended June 1923. Although the world’s mercantile fleet is still 15,000,000 tons greater than 1914, a large proportion of laid-up tonnage is not likely ever to be able to successfully seek employment and any serious revival of overseas traffic will tend to the further elimination of tonnage, which cannot be economically employed.
