GENERAL NEWS BRITAIN’S LAID-UP TONNAGE The quarterly returns of the amount of laid-up tonnage at the principal ports of Great Britain and Ireland, on July 1, 1928, together with comparative figures for jirecedinjf Quarters collected by the Chamber of Shipping, are given in a recent issue of “Lloyd’s Gazette.' As compared with April 1, 1928. an increase of 132,511 tons net is recorded, and as compared with the figures
for July 1. 1927, an increase of 75,702 tins net. In the former case the percentage increase is 36.47 per cent., and as compared with a year ago the percentage increase is 18.02 per cent. Comparing the figures with those for April 1, 1928, it is noted that the total for England and Wales shows an increase of 71,644 tons net; that for Scotland an increase of 60,996 tons net; and that for Ireland a decrease of 129 tons net. The ports showing the largest increases are Gareloch, 39,500 tons net; Southampton, 27,500 tons net; Falmouth, 21,000 tons net; London (River). 17,000 tons net; Glasgow, 14.600 tions net; Dartmouth, 11,500 tons net; Hull, 11,300 tons net; London (docks), 9,500 tons net; and Leith, 9,000 tons net. On the other hand, decreases are shown at Newcastle of 18,500 tons net; at Bristol, of 6,000 tons net; at Barrow and Manchester, of 5,000 tons net; and at Middlesbrough, of 3,000 tons net. SEINE-NET FISHING The Marine Department notifies that the following symbols and lights have been agreed upon by the Auckland Seine-net Fisherman’s Association for use on seine-net fishing vessels, when actually fishing with seine-nets, for the purpose ofprotecting their gear from injury by other vessels: — Between Sunrise and Sunset.—To be exhibited erect, in the forepart of the vessel, and where it can best be seen, as high as is practicable, but so as to be at a not less height above the rail than the breadth of the vessel at its greatest width, one black conical shape being not less than 2ft. in diameter at its base, and its length being not less than such diameter.
Between Sunset and Sunrise.—To be exhibited forward, horizontally disposed athwartships, not less than- 4ft. apart and at a height of not less than 6ft. above the coloured sidelights, two red lights visible for a distance of not less than one mile. These lights are to be used in conjunction with the coloured sidelights when running the gear and without the coloured sidelights when hauling the gearing. In neither case should the mast-head light be shown. In addition to the foregoing signals the dinghy used in conjunction with a seine-net fishing vessel for marking its base of operations shall exhibit at a height of not less than 3ft. above its gunwale so as to be vissible all round the horizon —By day: a similar black conical shape not less than in diameter; and by night: One white light visible not less than one mile. In cases in which a buoy is used in lieu of a dinghy these signals shall be shown at a height of not less than 3ft. above the buoy. The above signals will indicate that a vessel is engaged in fishing with a seine-net, in order that other vessels approaching may give the seine-net fishing vessel a wide berth. The warps and net may extend for a distance of three-quarters of a mile, and a seine-net fishing vessel when running her gear may attain that distance from the dinghy or buoy marking the base of her operations before turning back to-ward it. All ships should give a seine-net fishing vessel a wide berth, and should not attempt to pass between a seine-net fishing vessel and the dinghy or buoy marking her base of operations.
