THE FREE PORT OF MALMO, SWEDEN IFrom R. A. Boernstein. American consul. Malmo, Sweden] Brief history of the port—About 150 years ago Malmo acquired its first, boat harbor and a navigable channel with a depth of 4 feet. Since that time the work of developing and improving the harbor has hardly ever been interrupted. The customs port has now a total uayage of about 4,000 meters with a depth of from 6 to 7.25 meters. To obtain a larger quay and site accommodation the construction of the industrial harbor was commenced in 1914. This has been extended so that at the present time it has a quay frontage of about 500 meters in length with a depth of 7.25 meters. A large tract of land has, at the same time, been reclaimed by means of filling in. The most important feature of the new harbor improvements is the free port. Through it Malmo is opened for the international exchange of commodities and by virtue of the 9.25 meters depth of water in the free harbor the city is in a position to reap the full benefit of its stra- begic location on the sound.
