SWEDISH VESSELS IN FOREIGN SHIPPING.

Swedish Vessels in Foreign shipping.
It has been mentioned already that of the whole tonnage for
vessels arrived and departed, in 1901, in and from Sweden — which
figures amounted to 16,566,699 tons — 7,576,867 fell to Swedish vessels.
This is one side of the activity exercised during that year in
foreign shipping by the vessels of the Swedish merchant fleet. The
other side naturally is the voyages which Swedish vessels undertake
between foreign countries reciprocally — which voyages consequently
don’t touch Sweden, and thus are not included in »the foreign
shipping of Sweden». Here we will give some principal facts concerning
each of these two branches.
A) Concerning the part our vessels take in the maritime trade
between our own country and others, it is already accounted for in
the division just completed, regarding the number and tonnage of the
vessels as well as the most important countries for arrivals and
departures. What might be added here, is the amount of the gross freights
gained on such voyages, about which informations are hitherto gathered
by the consuls concerning our own vessels, but naturally not concerning
the foreign ones. As we have no consuls in Norway, informations are
not to be had concerning the gross freights for the voyages of Swedish
vessels to and from that country. From above mentioned 7,576,867
tons, we conséquently must in the account deduct the tonnage for the
voyages on Norway. With smaller deductions besides, and as
informations are given only concerning loaded vessels (see the note on p. 947),
our dates for 1901 embrace Swedish vessels entered and cleared out, of
Table 146. Distribution of Imports and Exports (according to value) among

1 The returns regarding exports by land, previously to 1902, are very incomplete,
especially for the years 1897/1901, see p. 928. For 1902, the figures are, on the contrary,
complete, hence the great increase for that year.
