Marine Insurance
Rate Cut Made to
Encourage Owners
Shipping Board Acts for
Relief OF Lessees and
Purchasers Whose Boats
Are Still Under Mortgages

Steamship operators yesterday said
that the recent new valuations placed
on government tonnage for marine in
surance purposes were another step
forward taken by the United States
Shipping Board to encourage charter
boat hire and to give relief to the pur-
chasers of government vessels whose
boats are still mortgaged to the board.
These new rates or values, which
have been in effect since the latter
part of August. are $50 ton for small
vessels, $50 for large cargo carriers
and 500 for tankers. This is a radical
reduction from the former average
price Of SITS ton.
The board, however, has made it
plain that these values are placed on
the Bottoms solely for the purposes of
marine insurance and not as any guide
to the price at which it will sell them.
Basing the present rate Of insurance
at 26 per cent, the saving on 1900
ton ship is appreciate. On the old
basis of SITS ton the premium would
be $34,125. whereas on the new basis
of $50 ton the premium would be
$15,600, saving of $18,525 annually
Allocated ship operators are ex-
ceedingly pleased with the new valua-
tions. as their books will now show a
lesser loss on the cost of operation
and in some instances it is said that
the differences in premiums will mean
