The report shows that the cost of shipbuilding is about 4 1/2 per cent higher on the West Coast than on the East coast and that the costs are about 2 1/2 to 3 per cent lower on the Gulf Coast and Great Lakes than on the East Coast. The report concludes however, that despite certain geographical disadvantages, shipyard competition does exist on an equalized basis and no remedies to equalize costs between the coastal districts are justified at this time.
