PROPOSED REDUCTION IN PORT CHARGES
IMPROVING FREIGHT RATES
THE
The disproportionately high port charges in Danish provincial porta have for a long time been the subject of serious complaints. Some time ago the Ministry of Transport appointed & committee for the purpose of making a report on the charges to be levied for the period of 1930-95, and this committee has now submitted its re- port to the Ministry. In the opinion of the majority of the committee, the taxes should be reduced, and the Minis-- try has approved of the recommenda- tion. The reduction is to apply to ships discharging part cargoes, and also for liners. Further, a reduction of the harbour and bridge taxes is re- GULF,commended as far as this is compatible with the economy of the respective ports. It may now he hoped that the long-wished-for reduction will be effect- ed in the near future.

There is now very little tonnage available for June and July, and, as owners are holding back for August, the rates are bound to further im prove. A healthy feature is also the abundance of
wood to be shipped. Con! freights, especially from Danzig, are The also on the upward grade, and help to strengthen the market.
