Gluckauf. According to plans discovered of an old Chinese oil junk, the expansion chamber had been anticipated in China many hundreds of years ago. The transverse system gave way after many years to the Isherwood system, and then to the bracketless system. In utilising for structural strength the curved form of the latest type of vessel, and also in utilising electric welding, further progress may be recorded in the evolution of the oilcarrying vessel.
Decentralisation In a number of countries it has recently been the object to amalgamate various shipping lines under one management, but in Germany it has been decided that there should be decentralisation in the liner trades. The Hamburg-America Line and the Norddeutscher Lloyd propose giving up the various smaller concerns taken over by them since the war. Already, it is stated, the Norddeutscher Lloyd has taken the necessary steps to separate the Argo and Neptune Companies. Herr Essberger, the head of the Ministry of Transport, when giving the above information.
pointed out that special regard must be given to the building of tramp ships which have not developed according to German needs, and also to tankers. Mortgage banks are to be formed, so that apparently owners and prospective owners can secure the necessary finance to build these vessels. In explaining the necessity for subsidies, it was stated that assistance had been offered to enable the industry to meet foreign competition, and that when foreign currencies were established the German shipping industry would be only too glad to give up Government assistance. Herr Essberger also stated that a larger proportion of German imports should be carried in German ships. Before the war the percentage was 80, whereas now it was about 40 per cent. NEW ZEALAND PORTS.
