PROBLEMS OF SHIPPING

Protracted Delays

In Refits

Not least among the troubles of liner companies today are the protracted delays in getting their ships recoñditioned and the inordinate time required for the building of new passen- ger vessels. Shipyard difficulties in providing the necessary steel, timber and innumerable fittings, as well as the shortage of. skilled labour, make it impossible to keep to any fixed date for completion, so that plans for the fu- ture tend to become more indefinite as the weeks go by.

Labour in the shipyards is to f
