- Title
Facing the Rising Tide: British Attitudes to Asian National Shipping Lines, 1959-1964.

- Abstract
After a prosperous period immediately after the Second World War the British shipping industry found itself in increasing difficulties after 1958. These were in part blamed on the protectionist shipping policies followed by other countries, which seemed likely to increase as the less-developed nations adopted nationalist policies often hostile to the economic interests of their former imperial masters. Since the British were particularly worried by the rise of Asian national shipping lines, British shipping attaches at Singapore produced a series of reports on these developments in the early 1960s. In the end, the UK decided against direct confrontation, seeking instead to co-operate and bring them within the shipping conference system.
