The Influence which is being exerted by the oil engine on the siilpbuildln.' industry throughout the world is strikingly Illustrated In an analysis published by "The Motor Ship." The countries in which an improvement in shipbuilding is shown, compared with a year ago, are those where motor ship construction Is proceeding proportionately more rapidly tiian elsewhere. In the United Kingdom the lonnnge of ships now being built Is 300.000 less than In April, 1024, aud the percentage of motor ships to steamers is 45. In Germany, Holland, Italy, Denmark, and Sweden more work ls In progress than was the case a year ago. and in these countries collectively 75 per cent of the vessels now being constructed are to be equipped with oil engines. It ls, however, satisfactory to add tli.it the largest murine Diesel engine yet built has Just been completed in Hnrlnnd mid Wolff'* Belfast works. This is a 10.000 h.p. unit nnd Is one of two sets for installation In the Royal Mall Steam Packet t'o.'s 22,000-ton passenger liner Asturlas. RL'APKHU FIIOM LIVERPOOL. Bringing passengers.
