Cargo liners with speeds up to 18 knots, loaded, and 12-knot motor tramps with refrigerator space and accommodation for the carriage of vegetable oils, were envisaged within the next few years by Mr A. C. Hardy in a paper road in London recently before the Institute of Marine Engineers. It was interesting to speculate, said Mr Hardy, what the ships of the future would be like. Their mean speed would probably be higher. The electrical ship was bound to be the ship of the future, not necessariyl with electrical propulsion, but particularly with all auxiliary equipment, he said. British shipbuilders had “missed the boat” as far as the Diesel engine was concerned, but there was no reason why they should miss the electric ship in the same way. Mr Hardy claimed that on the turboelectric side Great Britain had done more than any other country to develop it. though the electrically-pro-pelled ship had originated in the United States.
