THE P.C. HOOFT.

MACHINERY POWER INCREASE,

When completed in 1926 the P. C. Hooft was by far the largest Dutch motor ner, being a passenger ves- sel (for the Netherland Steamship

Co.'s Eastern service) of 14,000

tous gross, 520 ft. b.p., with a beam of 67 ft. 9 ina, and a loaded draught of 26 ft. 3 ins. She was equipped with two 4,000 b.h.p. Sulzer en- gines, having cylinders 680 mm. in diameter with a piston stroke of 1,200 mm, and the speed was 95 r.p.m. Her service speed was in the neighbourhood of 15 knots to 15%

knots.

Since that time the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and Marnix van St. Aldegonde have been built for the same owners, and these have a speed of 17% knots to 13 knots in service. It was desired by the owners to bring the P. C. Hooft into line in the matter of speed, and, in order to increuse the power, an order was

placed in November, 1929, for two Sulzer engines of 7,000 b.h.p, with nine cylinders, running at 130 r.p.m. The cylinders, have a diameter of

760 mm.

GERMAN SHIPPING.

DECREASED PROFITS FOR PAST YEAR.

The annual reports for 1930 of the Norddeutscher Lloyd and the Hamburg American Line show a considerable decrease of profits These as compared with 1920, reports are the first since the "pooling" agreement of the two companies,

Figures for the Norddeutscher Lloyd are:-Net profit 9,792,000 marks (£489,600), as compared with 14,193,000 marks (£709,650) in 1929. The company is paying a dividend of 6 per cent. against 8 per cent. in 1929.

The Norddeutscher Lloyd points out that the shipping crisis that of the world's tonnage of is best characterised by the fact 65,300,000 about 7,600,000 tons were idle at the beginning of 1931, and in the case of Germany

The remarkable fact about this conversion is that space has been found in the existing engine-room to accommodate the new machinery of 75 per cent. greater power. The higher speed has necessitated great cars to ensure the absence of vibra-i tion, and the engine seatings have been strengthened. The engine-

· room arrangement is, perhaps, not perfect, but it is a great feat to be able to increase a ship'e speed in this way with so little alteration.- Motor Ship.

OVERLOADED STEAMER.

Jugo-Slavian Captain Fined At Cardiff.

The Cardiff Stipendiary Magis- trate imposed a fine of £50 and £7 78. costs on Captain Luca Matovic for permitting the over- loading of the Jugo-Slavian at Barry last

steamer Jadera December.

Mr. L. M. Allen, prosecuting on behalf of the Board of Trade, said the vessel was boarded whilst sailing by a Board of "Trade surveyor, who found that the load line was submerged on an average to the extent of

The Hamburg America Line state that loss in revenue from freight could not be balanced by improving passenger traffic, but both reports agree that the re- sult of the pooling is satisfactory.
