She is a speedy freighter and on the way from Balboa to New Zealand her average speed was 15£ knots. The vessel, which has been trading to New Zealand and Australia since 1928, is at present on her tenth voyage. By arriving back at the United Kingdom on December 30 she completed three round trips from the United Kingdom to New Zealand and back in twelve months, the vessel having been despatched from Liverpool on January 1, 1931. The Coptic’s latest achievement was recorded on her first Homeward voyage, via Cape Horn and Las Palmas. The vessel left Napier on November 25 and arrived at Las Palmas on Christmas morning. After taking in oil fuel, which occupied 9£ hours, she left for London and reached her destination on December 30, 36 days 16 hours and 44 minutes out from Napier. The most satisfactory feature so far as the engineroom department was concerned was the fact that the vessel was under full power of both port and starboard motors from the time she left Napier to the time she reached London, with the exception of the necessary stoppages at Las Palmas. The controls were not handled at any part of the voyage, except when entering port. A similar experience occurred on the present trip to New Zealand, which speaks well for the reliability of her propelling machinery, which consists of a set of Wallsend Sulzer motors. Mr A. T. Gibson, her chief engineer, is proud of his ship and her record. He joined the vessel at the yards of Messrs Swan, Hunter and Wigham Richardson, Ltd., Newcastle, before she was launched. All his engineers were previously engaged on steamships. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, March 9.
