Britain Ships Overtake War Losses Amid Postwar Reforms
Britain moves to restore normal shipping after the war, with Alfred Barnes announcing a return to prewar practice by August as UK shipyards show strong output. October delivered 39 new merchant ships totalling about 133,000 tons, the largest monthly tonnage since 1941, including several overseas vessels. Dequisition ends, licensing shifts to general trading licenses, and freight-rate controls on essential voyages cease under new trading arrangements.
