FAST CARGO SHIPS.
According to "The Motor Ship," the introduction of the oil engine has led to an increase in the speed of cargo vessels to an extent that is probably not generally realised. At present, whereas the average speed of cargo vessels is from 10 11 knots, there are 40 motor cargo ships on order specified to maintain a speed of at least 14 knots when fully laden. Of these 17 are to average 14 knots, eight 14 knots, seven between 15 and 16 knots, whilst six are to be 16- knot ships, and two will have a mean speed of 161⁄2 knots.
