The Shipping Federation was an association of employers in the shipping industry. It was formed in 1890 in response to the London Dock Strike 1889 London Dock Strike of 1889 and the successes of the National Union of Seamen and various dockers unions. The main function of the Federation was to co ordinate the actions of shipowners so as to counter trade unionism and strike action. Its membership was largely made up of firms operating trampships and small vessels. Most ocean liner firms remained outside the Federation until the 1920s, whilst those in Liverpool did not link up with the Federation until it combined with their own local Employers Association in 1967. In 1975 the Shipping Federation combined with the Chamber of Shipping to form the General Council of British Shipping , but reverted to the name Chamber of Shipping in 1991.

Unreferenced date December 2006 File Number 13 1.jpg thumb A horse in shipping wraps. Some shipping wraps stop below the knee or hock, others, as seen here, extend higher to cover the joints A shipping bandage , shipping boot , or shipping wrap , is a type of stable bandage or boot used on the lower legs of a horse to protect the animal while travelling in a horse trailer or other conveyance. The bandage starts just below the knee or hock, and ends at the floor, protecting the cannon bone, tendons of the lower leg, fetlock , pastern, coronet, and heels of the horse. Some boot designs extend slightly above the knee and hock, offering protection to the joints in the event the horse bumps its upper legs on the sides of the trailer. With the modern development of synthetic shipping boots made with hook and loop fasteners, most people choose this option as they are quicker to apply. A poorly applied shipping bandage is also more likely to fall off than a shipping boot. However, if correctly applied with good tension, safety pin s, and masking tape , a shipping bandage will stay well in place. Many horsemen believe that shipping bandages are superior to shipping boots, thinking they usually offer more protection than an ordinary shipping boot and tend to keep the circulation flowing in the lower leg. However, they can be detrimental if the person applying the bandage does not know how to do so properly, and may even injure the horse. As a general rule, shipping boots are faster and safer to use, but for long journeys, properly applied shipping bandages provide superior support.
