Owing to the present uncertain state of ■* ihj market with regard to the supply and . ■ ;. pries of materials and_ labour, Sfritish ship- , ~ huilderg are not at all inclined to accept con- _' tracts at fixed prices, hut prefer, *iery reason- . 'ably, to arrange contracts on {to" basis of .> "-time and lime." In the past contracts apon this method hlrvo include-l provision cost of materials and Jaheur, plus an • agreed percentage for working l ciarges, and - ; , ; *-further percentage for profit payable to "Iha shipbuilder. Some shipowners, are un- - ; willing to entertain this arrangement under . • piacent conditions, but have offend to cover th* cost of material and labour, with a fixed ■ ■ sum instead of a percentage, for charges and -.-. "prsit. The fairness of this is dearly seen ,- ..when it is pointed out that if the cost of ~ "labbnf and material greatly inaJeosed juat _■ V after the placing of a contract o-i the basis '- of "cost of materials and labour, plus a per- / centage fdr working charges and a percentage"" for profit, the two latter i'ems wouTd - < 'aftp be correspondingly increase'!, and the „ - would thus unfairly benefit. It . is stated that a number of contracts have re- .' - qently been placed in the Unittfl Kingdom onj' -the more acceptable condirf>ns, viz., a x . sum for charges and profit p?ii3 the cost of Jabonr and material. i~ SHIPPING NOTES. -(.
