There arrived in Auckland recently, on her maiden voyage, the newest type.of oil titnk'er to be placed in service between the United states and cities in Australia and New Zealand. The motorship, appropriately named the New Zealand, is operated by the Texas Company and runs between that organisation s refinery at Los Angeles, California, and ports in Australia and New Zealand. The New Zealand has been constructed on wuat is known as the Isherwood system, and is propelled by two Diesel engines. She is 500 feet over-all and 483 feet between perpendiculars. Her extreme beam is 65 feet Gin., and moulded depth 36ft. 9in. Her total cargo oil tank capacity is 640,000 cubic feet, or roughly 115,000 barrels of oil. She has ten main tanks, port and starboard, and six summer tanks, port and starboard, each tank having modern safety devices for the handling of refined roducts. She is fitted with the usual cofferdams, pumprooms, oil-tight bulkheads, expansion trunks, vent and vacuum val "es and a smothering system. She is equipped with two main cargo pumps, each capable of handling 2500 barrels of oil an hour. Suction' lines are 12in. with lOin. connection im each tank.' " ; ; The ship is designed- for .1-J' khots an hour; with a fuel consumption of 14 tons per day; land a bunker - apacity for 20,000 miles. She is equipped with two ••“donkey”' boilers to furnish : the neces-sary--steam for auxiliary -machinery and pumps. Each boiler is oil firing, but one is equipped to utilise exhaust gases from the main engines. The tanker was completed at Barclay, Curie and Company’s yard, Glasgow, Scotland, and finished her trials on May 12. She sailed the same day for Los Angeles, California, to load for' her maiden voyage to Australian and New Zealand ports. The vessel, which carries a crew of 40 men, is in command of Captain L. V. Amundsen, and is a sister ship to another of 'the Texas Company’s tankers, the South Africa. MORE THIRD CLASS. Attention was directed recently, to .the fact that vessels leaving. Australian ports for the United Kingdom were carrying a larger number ■ f third-class passengers than was customary at this time of the year. That was regarded as a bad si.gii.' It would how appear that other parts 'of 'the Eifipir'e have been marked out by those anxious to leave theUcfinnionwealth. A'report hiis'reached Sydney that' immigration -authorities at Durban had detained from Australia on board the stcamei' Temple Mead.... The offenders were shown that South Africa did not wa/.t them. It was announced that the White StarAberdeen liner Euripides, calling on August 2 for England, via the Cape, would carry a number of Jrird-elass passengers which, at this period, nust be. regarded as abnormally large. The destination of the bigger proportion of passengers is South Africa. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
