4,’219,816 tons. The whole amount of gross freights was for these vessels
(counted on arrival) 36,189,215 kronor. Of this amount, 18,962,095 kronor
were for voyages to and from Great Britain and Ireland, 6,228,469 kronor
for voyages to and from the German Empire, 2,343,132 kronor for the
traffic on France, 2,036,637 for Denmark, 1,952,975 for the Netherlands,
1,690,569 for Belgium, etc. On all the other parts of the world fell
only 2,975,338 kronor.
B) The trading of Swedish vessels between foreign countries
reciprocally is known, in case a Swedish-Norwegian consular station is
visited during the voyage. During 1901, these consulates reported upon
the arrival and departure of about 12,800 Swedish vessels bent upon
such voyages, of altogether more than 7,000,000 tons. The gross freights
amounted to 15,781,714 kronor. Of this about 4-7 million kronor are
stated to be from English ports, from German ones about 2 s million, and
from non-European parts of the world about 1*8 million kronor altogether.
A summary of the foreign shipping of the Swedish merchant fleet
is given in Table 147 above. The Table evidently indicates a progress
when comprising the whole, although the increase only falls to voyages
between Sweden itself and foreign countries. Concerning the economical
result, the amounts were for a long period almost stationary, or even
decreasing, the cause of which is to be exclusively sought in the fall
of the freight-rates. From the period 1876/80 to 1896/1900, the tonnage
has grown by 138 %, but the sum total of the gross freights has during
the same time only increased by 33 tf. To a certain degree, this may
depend upon the decrease in the number of more distant voyages. —
The last few years show a considerable improvement, just as with regard
to all oar trades.
