The prospects of an improvement In the shipbuilding situation, according to The Motor Ship, are better than they have been for the past 12 months. As a result of the election, confidence Is returning, freights show an upward trend, chartering gives signs of new life, and prices are at their lowest ebb. There is every Indication that a largo proportion of the orders which will undoubtedly soon bo placed will be for motor ships. They have proved more economical during the present depression, since only 2 per cent, of the cargo and passenger tonnage now laid up Is represented by motor vessels, the remainder being steamers. The Increased popularity of the motor ship Is confirmed by the fact that of all the vessels completed during the year ended June 30, 1931, 70 per cent, were equipped with oil engines and only 30 per cent, with steam machinery, whilst motor vessels totalling 130,000 tons gross were commenced last quarter, against steamers of 43,000 tons gross.
