The Europe Line, which has won well-deserved popularity for many yelirs among travellers who use the old Suez Canal route, consists, at present, of eleven steamers, but according to present plan for further improvement, the three 8,000 tonners on this Line, 5.5, "Kitano Maru," "Kamo Mary” and "Atepta Maru," will be replaced by two new motor vessels now under construc tion, each equipped, with two sets of Sulzer Diesel engine and having beautiful passenger appointments with all known comforts for 130 first class and 70 second class passengers, as well as accommodation for 70 third class. When these two latest additions to the Line will be put in, service in May and August, 1980, respectively, they will bring to fulfilment the Com- pany's long-cherished desire of main- taining a regular fortnightly service with a fleet of ten splendid liners of approximately uniform class and speed,
