* Of the total Non-Tanker tonnage, vessels representing about 3,750 thousand gross tons are engaged on Naval, Military or R.A.F. Services (including some commissioned for Naval Service), some of which bring cargoes to the United Kingdom on their homeward voyage. After allowing for vessels (1) trading permanently abroad, (2) detained in French ports and (3) under- going or awaiting repair, including the fitting of defensive protection, the balance is a little under 7 million gross tons, some part of which is engaged in the coasting trade of the United Kingdom and Eire.
