This chapter continues to explore the economics of British shipping enterprises in relation to the necessary factors for economic expansion, by evaluating international competition and the cost of providing a competitive service. It looks at the classification of costs; liners and national costs; crew and labour costs; external economies; and overseas trade. It concludes that national trade is useful, but not a necessity for success as a shipowner, and that when faced with inadequate national trade, shipowners simply sought extra-national trade in order to expand.
