WATER TRANSPORTATION 5317 Idle Tonnage Declines. The increase in total world tonnage resulting from the heavy American construction during the war, together with the decrease in the volume of international trade, brought it about that a considerable fraction of the shipping has been idle during the postwar years, This situation has greatly improved as world trade has recovered. Idle steam shipping in the ports of the world declined only 46,000 tons during 1925, as compared with a decline of approximately 1,000,000 in 1924. The United States idle tonnage declined only a nominal amount in both 1924 and 1925; it appears that the usable surplus now has been practically absorbed and extensive employment of the American tonnage now idle seems improbable. The idle ton- nage of American privately owned ships increased about 40,000 tons. During 1925 idle shipping decreased greatly in France and Australia, and materially in United Kingdom. Italy, the Netherlands, and Greece showed marked increases. Norway, one of the principal maritime countries, shows only 22,000 gross tons idle.

Ship Construction; Motor Ships. Merchant shipping under construction in the principal maritime countries totaled 2,070,000 gross tons on December 31, 1925, con- siderably less than at the end of the previous year (Table 26). The total for the United States increased from 58,000 tons under con- struction at the close of 1924 to 105,000 tons on December 31, 1925, the highest figure noted since the middle of 1923. Ttalian and Japa- nese construction increased over the previous year while that for the United Kingdom. France. and Germany decreased considerably.
