OIL FUEL v. COAL.

COAL BUNKERING HOLDING TTS OWN.

In view of the apparent increase in the number of ships which use cil fuel for bunkering and the decreasing number of ships uning coal," it is somewhat astonishing that the importation of 'coal to "Colombo, mainly for ships

bunkers, is on the increase, saya The the Times of Ceylon," Customs returns show that 79,746 tona' of coal were imported last month, while 40,296 tons were used for bunkere. During the six monthe ended June 30, 394,991 tons of coal were Imported, while 319,262 tons were exported for bunkers. For the corresponding six months, in 1924 the quantity imported to Ceylon was "844;324′ tons, of which 270,476 tons went for bunkering purposes, while the first six months of 1923 show an import of 326,991 ·tòna” and an export för bunkers of 214,288' tons. The figures prove conclu- sively that the coal-bunkering trade in Colombo making steady progress.

On examining the returns it is- seen that Natal is the chief source of supply for coal for Colombo, roughly, half the Ceylon imports of coal coming from the South African port. Other British possessions in Africa supply about a quarter of the Ceylon require- ments, while British India comes third in supplying just under a quarter of the total. The Indian coal is largely used by Govern-; ment, chiefly for the C.G.R.

Oll Fuel For Bunkers. The imports of oil fuel, shown officially as crude mineral petro- leum, amounted last month, to. 4,119,314 gallons, roughly equiva- lent to 17,713 tons, while 11,049

tona were exported for bunkers.

In the first six months of the year approximately, 91,187 tons were imported, and 66.872 tons were used for bunkering. The quantity used for bunkering during these six months represents a decrease of 5,820 tons as compared with the first six months, of 1924, and an increase of 3,838 tons es com- pared with corresponding period of 1923,

A comparison of the figures for is interesting when considered in LET-FOUR ROOMED coal-bunkers and oil fuel bunkers conjunction with the fact that the number of vessels calling at the
