FOREIGN TRADE ZONES 73 able to show the comparative speed of loading and unloading vessels at Hamburg with the speed in other ports. However, it is believed that Hamburg handles goods more ext .ditiously than any other port in the world. _ The loading and unloading equipment at the free port of Bremen 18 designed to accomplish the greatest possible speed. By means of such modern equipment Bremen is able to handle consignments in bulk very quickly and accurately, and all ordinary or small consign- ments are also treated with dispatch. Even in times of difficulty, delays have not been experienced as these facilities are adequate to take care of existing traffic. Figures are not available from which to make a comparison of dispatch secured in loading and unloading vessels in the free harbor and in the customs harbor. The free port of Emden is equipped with the most modern devices for loading and unloading commodities thus enabling vessels to dis- patch their cargo in an expeditious manner. There are no available data to show the dispatch secured in loading and unloading vessels at the free port. The equipment for loading and unloading vessels in the free port of Flensburg is reported to be sufficient for the amount of business car- ried on at the present time. There are, however, no statistics avail- able for comparing the speed with which vessels are loaded or unloaded in the free harbor with the customs harbor. At the free port of Kiel vessels are loaded and unloaded as expedi- tiously as in the customs harbor. In the free port of Bremerhaven vessels are unloaded in a rapid manner. The average speed for discharging cargo from vessels is about 3,000 tons per day. All modern loading and unloading appli- ances are available and this port compares favorably with others in Germany in dispatching cargo. The free port of Stettin is equipped with the most modern loading and unloading facilities. The unloading of vessels in the free port of Cadiz is accomplished 8s rapidly as in the general harbor. The average rate of discharge 18 stated to be from 300 to 400 metric tons per day of eight hours. The equipment of the free deposit of Barcelona has been greatly im- Proved during the last two years, and there are now cranes, inclined Minways for motor vehicles, and other modern facilities for the handling of all classes of merchandise. There are no available statis- tics, however, from which to make a comparison of time spent by Vessels in loading and discharging cargoes in the free ports and in the Customs or general harbor. At Santander it is predicted that when the construction of the unloading facilities is completed, which will oo within the next two years, the operations will be performed more apidly than in the customs port.
