seldom. At the present moment of writing there are only a few in force, notably
that concluded between the two most prominent trade organizations on both sides,
Sveriges Redareförening (representing the shipowners) and Svenska
Maskinistförbundet (representing the engineers). The Shipowners’ Association is extremely
well organized. Although only formed in 1906, at the close of 1912 it
embraced 157 shipping companies with 446 (steam)ships aggregating 594 480 gross
register tons, and with crews numbering 7 850 men. The Shipowners’
Association has moreover established a Maritime Labour Exchange, superintended by
its officials and based on fees paid by the owners of ships with offices in the
larger ports of Sweden. In 1911 as many as 11 663 vacancies were filled
through its instrumentality.
