Twelve Liners Win in Contest Against Tariff
In New York on June 18 twelve ships cleared customs before the new tariff took effect saving importers hundreds of thousands of dollars in duties.

Fog delayed several vessels including the Manuel Arnas and the San Jacinto from Mexico, while more than 1,000 tons of food destined for export are condemned daily at the Port of London.
