The steamer Baron Ardrossan is reported to have sailed from Cuba on February 28 with raw sugar for Auckland. She is due at Auckland early in April. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Company advise that the liner Mataroa, now loading at London, is to be despatched from Southampton, with passengers on March 25 for Auckland and Wellington. She is due at Auckland on April 30. Under charter to the Commonwealth and Dominion Line the steamer Denham is to leave New York on March 9 with case oil and general merchandise for discharge at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton and Dunedin. Carrying a full cargo of oil fuel for the British Imperial Oil Company, the tanker Petricola sailed from San Francisco on February 11 for Auckland and Wellington. She is due at Auckland about March 7. Cabled news has been received by the Canadian Government Agency that the Canadian Challenger sailed from Halifax on February 27 with a general cargo to put out at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Timaru and Dunedin. I The vessel is due at Auckland on April 8, and i at Wellington a week later. | The Canadian Government Agency report > that the Canadian Britisher is to sail from I Halifax on March 25 with gc-weral cargo for j discharge at Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, ' Timaru. and Dunedin. She is due at Auck- ' land on May 6. This vessel is to be followed • by the Canadian Planter, to sail from Halifax on April 25, for the same New Zealand ports. The Canadian Planter will be the last vessel this season to sail from Halifax, as Montreal, which is ice-bound, will be opened up to navigation on May 1. The Shaw, Savill and Albion Company advise that the Maimoa is now due at Lyttelton (instead of Port Chalmers) on March 11, from Townsville, Queensland), to commence loading for London. The vessel will subsequently load also at Napier and Wellington, arriving at the latter port on March 22. She is to sail from Wellington on March 26 for Port Chalmers, to fill up. The Maimoa will leave the Otago port finally on March 31 for London, via Montevideo and Teneriffe. NEW MOTOR SHIPS. In of the passenger liners which the Shaw, Savill and Albion Company decided to build, but afterwards cancelled the orders on account of the lowering of freight charges between New Zealand and England, the company has placed orders for four new motor cargo vessels—two with Messrs Swan and Hunter, of Newcastle, and two with the Fairfield Company, at Glasgow. They will be about the same dimensions and build. They j will have two sets of Sulzer engine? with twin screws. The length will be 481 ft. by a breadth lof 64ft. Tonnage will be about 11,000 and the speed 15 knots. Each vessel will have refrigerated space of 400,U00 cubic feet. No passenger accommodation will be provided. It is expected that the first of these four vessels will be completed early in 1928, and the others a few months later. FOR THE AUSTRALIAN COAST. James Patrick and Co., Ltd. (of Sydney), placed an order in Aberdeen, Scotland, for a new cargo steamer. The vessel has been specially designed for the trade between Sydney, Newcastle, and Melbourne, and is to be of the most modern and up-to-date type. All the latest improvements and ideas have been investigated, and special attention has been given to the equipment for the most economical and efficient handling of all classes of cargo. The vessel is being built to Lloyd’s Highest Class under special supervision, and is to have a speed of twelve knots. It is expected that she will be in .commission about July of this year, and will replace one of the company’s steamers at present running. THE TAMAROA. It is reported by Messrs Freeman R.
