AN! INTERMEDIARY. SERVICE. ORIENT COMPANY’S NEW DEPARTURE. , ' 4 The extension of existing services and. establishment of new itineraries is one of tbo aftermaths of 4ho. war (states the Melbourne Agej under “date December 10). The departure of the ejs. Oroadea from Port Melbourne for London will mark the inauguration by the Orient Steam Navigation .Company of an intermediate service metweon England and Australia, designed to cater for travellers who wish cheaper means of transit than that afforded by the mail steamers. The Oroades, formerly the .German s.a. Prinz Ludjfig, is a fine vessel, replete with modern conveniences. First class accommodation is provided for 126 passengers in spacious single, two, three, ond four-berth cabins,/at a fare of about £l2B. A feature of the ship, however, is the excellent third class accommodation. Altogether 6(16 passengers can be carried in this class at fares ranging from £4l to £47 for two, four, six, oar eight-berth cabins, while ■ cots are ffimisbed for very young children. There is ample deck space and ventilation, the cabins being so situated that portholes need only be closed in very rough weather. Oommodiotm hospitals are equipped, and a barber's shop is attached to both dosses. The vessel is commanded by Captain Cameron.

THE SHIPBUILDING- INDUSTRY. MARKED DECREASE IN TONNAGE Latest mails from England record a serious slump in the shipbuilding industry. It is not surprising that a decrease should have followed the record tonnage figures of recent years, but statements . just to hand from Lloyd’s for the year 1920-21 show a serious position, and one in some respects without Ereoedent. The new tonnage classed by ilayd’s . Register for the period ended Juno 80 last amounted to 911 vessels of 3,245,150 tons gross, equal to a reduction of 25 per cent, on the previous 12 months. The tonnage actually under construction which is being inspected by Lloyd’s surveyors comes to approximately 3,531,000 tons gross; but this cannot be regorged as a criterion of building activity in the pear- future, for there is a great tell teg off in the number of new orders. During the year mentioned the number of plana for new vessels passed by Lloyd’s has dropped to 433 proposals, representing a tonnage of 1,651,650, and since then there have been further reductions, on "so extensive a Booleo as to indicate a slump in orders for now tonnage without precedent in the history of Lloyd’s.”

HM.S. CHATHAM AND H.M.S. VERONICA DUE SHpRTLY. Captain Duncan (acting-harbourmaster) has lefceived advice from the commander of H.M.S. Veronica stating that the warship will arrive at Dunedin on Monday, January SO, and will remain in port until about Monday, February 6. H.M.S. veronica ia tdt leave the Hauraki Gulf (Auckland) to-day on a summer cruise to South Island porta. From Dunedin the warahip will go to the West Coast Sounds.. The cruise will pro’baibly be completed about the end of February, when H.M.S. Veronica will return to Auckland. H.M.S. Chatham will leave Auckland on January 19 on a visit to the principal southern, ports. She will call at Gisborne, Kaikoura, Lyttelton, Gamaiu, Dunedin, Pateriaon Itdet, Bluff, West Coast Sounds, Greymouth, Westport, Now Plymouth, Wanganui roadstead, and Wellington. H.M.S. Chatham will bo at Dunedin from February 3 to February 13. As both vessels will be in port at >tho same time, the harbour authorities are making arrangemente to berth the vessels at the Rattray street wharf. ■ ■<>■ FINE MOTORSHIP. TNGAREN ON MAIDEN VOYAGE. Brand new from her builders, the Swedish inotorship Yngaren orrived in Newcastle oi Monday from Sweden porta, via Java and Bris bane, on rout© to Sydney (says the Shipping List, under date December 15). The big grey vessel, unloading timber' and general cargo at Newcastle, has attracted general attention, particularly on account of the foot that she has no funnel, which is replaced by a stumpy exhaust. The Ynagarpn is certainly a fine example of the English shipbuilders’ and engineers' art. She is equipped with a 3000 horse-power Doxford opposed piston crude oil engine driving o single screw which gives the vessel a loaded speed of 12 knots an hour. The engine is of a type never before installed in a big and it has proved eminently satisfactory, during the maiden voyage. The Yngaren is of 5245 tons gross, and carries a deadweight load of 9000 tons on a loaded draught of 25ft 6in. With her shelter deck enclosed, her cargo accommodation can be materially increased. The engine is of four cylinders, and bums 12 tons of oil a day. There is bunker storage space for about 1000 tons, and this makes it possible for the vessel to make a round trip overseas without replenishing bunker supplies. Questioned about the number of men employed in the ship’s engine room, compared with the complement of a steamer of similar size, the chief engineer said that the new type of engine saved a'groat deal of labour. Thd full complement of the Yngaren’s engine room is 14. The new vessel left Gothenburg on October 1 „on her maiden voyage, and called at other Scandinavian porta to complete outward loading. She called Jjjfct Java ports before reaching Brisbane. The master of the vessel is Captain Huldtjren. ‘ The Yngaren belongs to the same owners as thp ill-fated Elmaren.
