Both the Fairfield Shipbuilding and Engineering Company and Messrs Sulzer Bros, have every reason to feel proud of the manner In which the Aorangi, built and engined by the first named, has acquitted herself since she went into service on the Australia-Canada run over three years ago. She has never failed to maintain her stipulated speed of 16% knots and only once has she missed a voyage, this being due to the carrying out of her periodical survey. She remains five days in Vancouver and a like period in Sydney and in each port 1% days are required for disinfecting, so that 3% days are left for the normal overhaul. This short time, however, has up to now proved quite sufficient. The actual running time of the ship amounts to 67 per cent, of the total service time. Further details of her running were recently supplied by Mr James' Smith, the Union Company’s superintendent engineer, and were given in a paper read at the Diesel Power Conference in Pennsylvania. Up to the end of 1927, when the Aorangi had travelled 201,043 nautical miles, her log book showed the following: average speed 16.41 knots; average fuel per day propelling, 45.8 tons; other purposes, 9 tons; total lubricating and cylinder oil first year, 41,749 gallons; total lubricating and cylinder oil second year, 28,542 gallons: average speed three best voyages, 17.0 knots, 16.96 knots, 16.88 knots; highest daily speed, 18.1 knots. The author of the paper referred to described as amazing the small variation in the amount of fuel consumed per voyage, and added that the systematic and regular way in which the ship behaved in the matter of reliability, low maintenance costs, and uniform economy of fuel and lubricating oil was a strong argument ir favour of Diesel propulsion.
