Decrease owing to low rate of Freights ruling in River Steamers.
The figures shown represent number of trips made within and without the Harbour.
5. This table shows an increase in British Ocean Shipping of 187 ships of 376,019 tons, or of 4.5 per cent. in numbers and of 4.8 per cent. in tonnage. This seems to indicate a resumption of the usual small annual increase in British shipping which has been so constant a feature in each normal year.
British River Steamers have recovered from the large decrease shown in 1909, and have added considerably in numbers to the figures for 1908, though the tonnage does not come up to that for 1908.
