An interesting phase of the development of the ocean-going Diesel-engined ship is the ' strong tendency which it is showing towards ! increased speed. When the Selandia went into ■ commission in 1912 her 11 knots was regarded as very fust for a ship of the type. The latest addition to the fleet of the East Asiatic Company—-the Danmark—makes, however, 13 knots, and the Blue Funnel liner Orestes, 15% knots. All the ships mentioned have Burmeister and 'Wain engines. C. AND D. LINE’S NEW MOTOR SHIPS. ! The Commonwealth and Dominion Line’s I new motor ship Port Fremantle, built by Messrs Workman, Clark and Company, of | Belfast, was launched ia. January and will . sail for Auckland and Wellington on May 18. , i This vessel is 475 feet long and 63 feet in ! j breadth. She has a dead weight of 11,700 tons, I and a speed of 14 knots. The Commonwealth ' and Dominion Line have found the Doxford opposed cylinder type of engine bo successful that they have had similar engines placed in the Port Fremantle. The full designation of .heee is: two sets of 4-cyiinders, tvro stroke- . cycle, solid, injection Dus ford opposed piston engines. They are con-l/ucted by Messrs William Doxford and Sons, of Sunderland, and j installed by the ship-beilders. In a<flit:oa to the Fort Fremantle the comI pany has two others under construction —the ! Port Huon and Port Gisborne—which will be | completed at the end of the summer. These are being built by Messrs Swan, Hunter and i Wigham, Richardson, of Newcastle. One will i have Doxford engines and the other Sulzer. , : All these three cargo vessels will have pro- . vision for twelve passengers—four single I berths and four double berths. They will have | 500,000 cubic feet of refrigerated space, and , will run to aboift 8000 tons gross. Each will have five holds. They will be electric ships throughout. Windlasses, refrigerating machinery, cooking, lighting, and heating will be run by <ectricity. They will have cruiser sterns, two masts, and single funnel, the funnel being used for ventilation and silencer. OVERSEAS VESSELS. INWARD BOUND.
