Decline in UK shipbuilding signals possible downturn
Lloyds Register shows UK shipping construction fell in the final quarter, down about 22 000 tons from earlier periods. Only 57 ships totaling 1 991 782 tons launched last year, while oil tanker orders rise with 160 vessels under construction worldwide. The United States holds 235 ships totaling about 1.5 million tons, UK at 21 vessels and roughly 3.5 million tons. The registrar suggests the decline may foretell a downward trend matching postwar growth since 1918.
