PASSENGER LINERS MANY UNDER CONSTRUCTION Interest in the contract for "No. 523" has tended to obscure the importance of the work on many passenger liners being carried out in British .shipyards, remarks the Syren and Shipping. Five passenger vessels—three of them in the liner category—will be launched by Vic-Iters-Armstrongs, Limited. Barrow-in-Furness, in the next 10 months. Two vessels for the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, Limited, will bo floated on the sanie tide in November. The next month will be notable for the launch of the 0.-cades. tlie new Orient linrir, and. the two chips for the Hand 0 Steam Navigation. Company, Limned, will be launched, in May and .lalv, 1057.

The Clyde has at leas! three pas senger liners in hand, one of which. Ilia City of Benares, is afloat hut will provide'Work for another six months. 'The others will not lie launched until early next year. The Fairfield, Shipbuilding and Engineering Company,, Limited, are. making fair progress at Govan with the Circassia. which is to he ready for the Anchor Line's Indian ;service 'about a year hence. Barclay, Curie and Company," Limited, have yet to make a start on the passenger and troopcarrying liner ordered by the British India Steam Navigation Company, Limited. This vessel will be similar to the Dilwara, which has been proving popular as a cruising, vessel. Belfast has its' share of pas.-engei work in a 2S.CCO-fon liner for the UrnonCaslie Line and two vessels for the British and Irish Steam Packet Compaivv. llearly 150/033 ton* gross is represented by this important work and most of it will bo carried forward to tlie 1937 output. Conferences have been taking place between officials of the Canard While f-tar Line ami John Brown and Company. Limited, Clydehank, regarding tlie building of "No 522." Although no actual constructional work has been undertaken, preparations for a start are well advanced and another month should' see the beginning of the keel-laving. Three and a half years of work are promised by this contract. The Clyde .Navigation Trustees will ' consider the question of improving the river, principally for the journey of the new liner to the sea in 1940. Other pasj sengcr liner work is likely to accrue before'' the end of the year and some of it will be placed by the companies operating the trans-Pacific service, the Blue Riband of which is held by the Empress of Japan, a product of the Fair--1 field Shipbuilding and Engineering Com- ' pans.
