Lloyd's Register shipbuilding re- turns for the last quarter of 1938 show that in United Kingdom yards. 983,842 tons of mercantile shipping were under construction at the end of the year. This figure does not include certain contracts placed in December, which bring the total to 1,000,000 tons.
The official total of 963,642 tons exceeds by 220.556 tons, or 30 per cent, the tonnage which was build- ing a year ago, and is the highest quarterly total recorded since Sep tember, 1930. It also exceeds con- siderably the aggregate tonnage now under construction in the four leading countries abroad.
A satisfactory feature of the re- turns is the amount of new work- 272,546 tons-begun during the last three months, to take the place of the 280.397 tons launched in the same period.
