Heri.
Two recent announcements, by Lloyd's Register have pointed out the Increasing importance of oil in} the shipping world-an Increase that has been made at the expense of coal. One was to the effect that to-day, for the first time in the his- tory of shipbuilding, the amount of motor tonnage under construction throughout the world was greater. than the steam tonnage. The other was that to-day only 02 per cent. of the world tonnage was wholly dependent on coal, as against 80 per cent. in 1914. This ascendancy of oil, culminating in the motor ship, has been hailed as the dawn a new era in shipping, just as the salling vessel brought on a new era, and the steamship another.
In the excitement over oil little notice, apparently, has been paid
to
the information given out quietly by the Shipping Board at Washington, almost simultaneously with the other announcement, that the 60,000-fon freighter "Mer- cer" had been assigned to the committee conducting tents on the adaptability of pul- verised coal for marine Though the committee, as cautious as scientists, has refused to make predictions, it is confidently, expect ed that the experiments will result in a renaissance of coal which will restore this fuel at least to the posi tion of importance it occupied be- fore the war,

Greater Fuel Economy. The grounds for this expectation lie in the fact the results thus far obtained in the experiments have indicated that far greater fuel economy will be shown by this type of marine steam plant than by any engine known to the sea. Fuel is the principal item of expense in ship operation, and shipping com- panies are quick to take advantage of any development that will cut down operating expenses.
