A chapter in The Blue Funnel Legend, 1990, pp 375-377 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 1973 Ocean Transport & Trading was still massively a marine-based enterprise. The fleet of 88 deep-sea ships still included 30 conventional liners belonging to the Blue Funnel fleets, as well as Glen and Elder Dempster ships, container ships, oil-tankers, bulk carriers, ore-carriers, chemical carriers, an ore-oil carrier, and offshore supply ships. Shipping then accounted for nearly half of total turnover, and 85 per cent of total profits. Still in 1976 some two-thirds of trading profits were derived from shipping, and the Board’s plans envisaged that the share would not be much lower into the 1980s. Yet by 1986 shipping and marine services accounted for less than one-quarter of group turnover.
