SAVING OF THIRTY-TWO DAYS
AND SAC, 900 EFFECTED BY
SHIPS USING PANAMA CANAL

cents per net registered ton per day
Thus a 10000 ton steamship cost for
maintenance about 1000 per day. Its
average speed was around $50 knots
a day, On the trip from New York to
San Francisco there Is saving of
thirty two days because of the canal
With such a ship this extra distance
would cost on the basis of pre-war
prices. $4,000. On the basis of pres
ent prices II would cost aboout $780,
600. The vessel, by using the canal in
pre-war days paying $1.2O per net
registered ton, or $4,000, saved its
owners or charterers $4,000.
On the basis of present-day prices
the saving amounts TO nearly 100000.
II, as is now planned. the coastwise
shipping using the canal is exempted
from the payment of tolls on 10000
ton steamer will save $4,000 every
time 1t passes through the canal in
tolls and at least $685. 900 in distance
eliminated.
While II looks rather high to think
of n 1912 ton ship paying $lS,9OO
for an eight hour trip through the ca
nal yet to choose that route between
the East and West coasts of the Uni
ted States rather than the Magellan
route would save upward OF $4,000 |
on the trip.
Barely Pays for Operation.
Another interesting feature of the
toll rates at Panama is the compare
lively low rates at which cargo moves
\ -. {
ton in shipping practice is 100 cubic
feet Of cargo space. Now II happens
hat most cargo doesn't require so
much room and that for some COM
three tons can be put in each
let register ton space. For instance,
,otton takes much more room than nj
rates. 4 cargo of the latter has
moved through the canal for thirty ,
even cents "A ton, while "A cargo of ,
lumber might cost dollar IA ton. The
lverage rate for bulk cargoes ranges
Iround sixty seven cents a long ton.
The present income from the canal
s hardly sufficient TO pay the mere
osts of operation, with no allowance
whatever for depreciation or interest
N the investment. AS the canal cost
1851 900, 600, and as the government
las to pay at least per cent for
money borrowed today. It will be seen
hat interest charges alone would am
unit to S1S,OOOOOO yeaR
In other words, If Uncle Sam OPP
rated his canal on the basis that the
ailway companies operate their roads
lie would have to make rate of about
IA net registered ton instead of
