FOUR NEW GERMAN LINERS. At a combined general meeting of the Hapag and North German Lloyd Companies recently, it was announced that the two companies intended to build four 10,000-tons combined passenger and cargo steamers as “a necessary countermeasure against economic pessimists.” It was essential, it was pointed out, to fight “in a united spirit against the feeling of fear which has seized the world.” The chairman of the Hapag declared that German shipping circles entirely shared the view recently expressed by Sir PercyBates, of the Cunard Line. The chairman of the German Lloyd said, that, while there was still no indication of a tendency toward an improvement, he believed that the lowest point of the crisis had been reached. .DESIGN AND CONSUMPTION. The importance of efficient hull design in modern cargo steamers has centred a good deal of interest upon the performance of the Burntisland “economy” vessels, of which twelve are now in constant operation. Equipped for the most part With saturated steam ami natural draught boilers, their perfomances on round voyages are notable for a remarkably low fuel consumption, and the subject of an interesting article in the “Burntisland Shipyard Journal” is their potentialities for the installation of super-heated steam, air pre-heating and special engine cylinder valve gear. Details of voyage results show that the “economy” ships, which are of 7800 tons, do the round trip from the U.K. to the River Plato with the standard propulsion on a total consumption for every purpose of 1100 tons. It is stated that with the installation of the. propulsive methods already mentioned it is possible to reduce this consumption figure to about 900 tons. Attention is drawn to the published performances of vessels equipped with special types of reciprocating steam engines with poppet valves, high temperature, super-heat exhaust turbines, high degree stage feed water heating and other-innovations, where it is possible to show very low rates of coal consumption per • ‘ indicated _ horsepower, and to their possibilities in conjunction with the. acknowledged efficiency of the “economy” hull. .
