THE NEW OPAWA. The New Zealand Shipping Company s new motor-ship Opawa, which arrived at Wellington yesterday morning from Liverpool after towing the disabled steamer City of Kimberley to Auckland, is the last of the three motor-ships, All of the same type, which have been built for the company. The first vessel was the Otaio and the second was the Orarl, both of which have already visited New Zealand. The Opawa was built by Messrs. Alexander Stephen and Sons, Glasgow, and was launched on January 20. The vessel is 490 ft. in length overall, and is of 9750 tons gross register. She is of the twodeck type, with poop and long bridge. Six holds offer large space for the carriage of bulk, general and refrigerated cargo, the dead-weight capacity being about 12,300 tons. The cargo-handling appliances are of the -most modern description, and all the deck auxiliaries are electrically operated. The propelling machinery for the twin screws consists of two sets of single-acting Sulzer-Diesel engines. It is claimed the accommodation on the Opawa and her sister ships compares favourably with that of any other cargo vessels afloat. The towing of the City of Kimberley, in which a speed was attained at times of eight knots, Is considered to have been a remarkable test of the Opawa’s efficiency.
