OFFICIAL TRIAL. « British enterprise in the. petroleum industry was again in evidence this week. Says, the Financier of April 12 when the official trial of the San Floranting was carried out. This enormous vessel, which has been built on the Tyne, and was launched last
December, carries over 18,000 tons afoil, and is going into the Mexican trade. She was designed by and built for Lord Cowdray's in- terests, which also made the previous great step in oil tanker shipbuilding six years ago, when they initiated a class of vessel to carry about 15,500 tons each-a quantity much larger than any tank steamship had then carried. The San Florentino is one of a group of five new vessels of similar size and capacity, and will be used in bringing oil from the Mexican fields. It is under- stood that she proceeds to Hull I this week to take on sufficient oil fuel to carry her to Tampico, in Mexico, where she will load with a cargo of oil products for this country, subsequently proceeding to Tuxpam to take an oil fuel for the homeward voyage.
