The engines have been removed from the former vessel, and she is now lying,in Kerosene Bay. Seven It),000-ton steamers are to be built by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha under the company’s five-year term construction programme. Three of the vessels are to be freighters for operation out of either Seattle or San Francisco. Two others are to be passenger liners for service between Japan and Europe. Another will be. a freighter, for the Yokohama-East Coast of South America Line, and another will be a passenger and cargo - steamer for the Shahghai-Japan trade.
