1., LEADS WORLD IN SHIPS LAUNCHED Lloyd’s 1920 Report on Gross Tons of Merchant Ves- sels Built. By the Associated Press. W YORK, January United States led the world on the toll of gross tons of merchant ves- sels launched in 1920, according to figures made public 3 by Lloyd's register of shipping. The total launchings in shipyards of the world amounted to 5.861.000 gross tons, a decrease of almost 1,300,000 from the 1919 figure, but an increase of more than 400.000 over 1918. The total for the United States was 2,276,000 tons, while Great Brit- ain was second With 2.055.000 tons. Japan launched 456,000 tons last year, a decrease from 611,000 tons in | 1919. Lloyds points out that at the he- ginning of 1920 the United States and Great Britain had on hand practical- ly the same amount of construction to be completed and credits ameng vards with greater speed than those in Great Britain, in that this coun- try exceeded England's total by 20 per cent. Decline in World Total. The decline in the gotal tonnage launched was attributed to | tne aecline in the American shi building program. Americ ing being 1.606.000 tons 1 tha previous year. British tion showed a gain of more t 400,000 tons. Other countries launched | a total of about 1,330,000 tons during | 1920, or about 20,000 tons less than | in_1919. In comparison with prewar figures. the launchings in the United States were nine times as great as in 1713, and throughout the world there was a gain of about 75 per cent. For the first time since the beginning of the war Great Britain last year exceeded | its 1913 figures, the gain being about 7 per cent. ! Considerable gains over 1919 were | ashown by France, which increased the total of its launchings from 32.000 tons to 93,000 tons last vear: Hol- Jand, from 137,000 to 183.000 tons. and Italy from 82,000 to 133,000 tons. Figures for Germany were not avail- able and were not included in the i Lilovd's figures show that the United | Statss far outstripped the rest of the | world in construction of tanker ton- | nage. This country launched 167.050 gross tons of this class of vessels Great Britain 65400 tons and other countries 8.000 tons. Motor ship construction was de- clared to be on the increase. with a total of 190,000 gross tons of vessels fitted with internal combustion en- gines in 1920. The total of vessels fitted with turbines which were Jaunched during the year was 1,825.- 000 tons, or nearly a third of the ag- gregate total. | Gf all the vessels laufiched last year thirty-two were of 10,000 gross tons or _more. 3 Compacative figures were compiled by the registry showing the vearly outputs of Great Britain and America since 1913. Until 1918 Great Britain was in_the lead in ship construction. | when the United States States jumped ahead with 3.033,000 gross tons. against 1348.000 for Great Britain: in 1919 the United States produced 4.075.000 gross tons against 1,620,000 for England. world |+ THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY.
