Proportion of transshipment traffic: 9.69 per cent, 8.23 per cent, 
7.87 per cent. 
Transshipments occupy a very small proportion of the total traffic 
and are limited to goods from the United States and Argentine to 
Yugoslavia and the Levant and vice versa, in addition to some 
limited lighterage operations of coal and oil for bunkering purposes. 
Manufacturing in the free zones—There are no manufacturing 
plants in the free zones. Steps are being taken to secure the agree- 
ment of the Government for the industrialization of the free zones. 
At present there is only the Ford plant in which are assembled Ford 
cars, tractors, and Lincolns for reexport to Italy and the countries of 
the hinterland, tobacco manipulating plants and a lumber mill now 
in process of erection.

Coffee is sorted and cleaned in special depots let to private traders. 
In 1927, 34,103 tons were imported and 35,259 tons were reexported 
which amount included some quantities left over in stock from the 
preceding year. No figures are available as to local consumption, as 
the quantities distributed in the district outside the town limits figure 
under the export section of the statistics. In 1913 the total coffee 
movement amounted to 157.356 tons as compared with 69.363 tons 
in 1927. 
Wine was imported in the amount of 68,770 tons and reexported in 
46,345 tons. Filling operations into casks are carried out in the free 
zone by dealers having trade connections with the hinterland. About 
22,425 tons, or about 224 hectoliters, of Dalmatian and Greek wines 
were consumed locally. 
Shipbuilding and ship repair in free zone.—No shipbuilding or repair- 
ing is operated in the free zones, all shipyards being within the custom 
barrier.
