XII. SHIPPING AND NAVIGATION OF SWEDEN.
Harbours and Docks.
By Harbours we mean, not only such inlets from the sea and the
large lakes as have good road-steads and afford protection against sea
and wind and fittings for the ships, but also those which afford an
artificially made one, where such a natural protection is wanting.
Characteristic for our Swedish harbours is their never being tided.
Of natural harbours there is in our country a well-nigh countless
number, many of them being provided with quays for the mooring of
vessels and for loading and unloading of goods. The number of
harbours artificially made, is comparatively small. The most important of
them are those of Halmstad, Helsingborg, Ystad, Kalmar, Visby, and
Malmö, where a new, very considerable harbour just was inaugurated in
1903. — In 1901, dues were received at 225 harbours to a total amount
of 1,811,159 kronor. The largest amounts were presented by the
harbour of Gothenburg with 290,293 kronor, that of Stockholm with
220,031, and that of Malmö with 118,129 kronor.
Docks are to be found in Gothenburg, Malmö, Oskarshamn,
Norrköping, Stockholm, and several other places. Besides, there are for the
use of the Navy one dock in Stockholm, and six in Karlskrona; at the
last mentioned place, there is besides a new one in course of construction.
An idea of the dimensions of our docks will be gained by Table 150 below.
Larger Slips for vessels are to be found in Gothenburg, Malmö,
Karlskrona, Gefle, and Stockholm. At Finnboda and Långholmen (both
in Stockholm), vessels of 119 meters in length can be hauled up, at
Brynäs in Gefle, vessels of 118 meters, and at Bomhusvarfvet (also in
Gefle), vessels of 100 meters. The largest tonnage — 1,700 tons — can
be received by the Malmö slip.
