A. COMPARISON OF THE COST:
THE BONGKONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 891, 1918.
The comparative cost of motor-ships and steamers, calculated on the basis of the new funnellens Selandia, is deduced in the "Motor Boat and Marine Oil and Cias Engine.
The following comparison is made be- tween the Selandia, and a large stoam vesnel of a well-known line

CONSUMPTION OF FUEL,
Turning now to the question of fuel; the coal consumption on the steamer is about forty tons per day and that of oil on the Selandia about ten tons to twelve tons a

day, bearing out the fairly generally ac NEW ADDRESS,
cepte i statement that the motor-ship only requirer about a quarter the weight of fuel of the steamer.
The practice with Selandia will be to take in 600 tons of oil at Bangkok for the round voyage, while the steamer under ordinary circumstances would take in about-600 tons of coal at Singapore and replenish her supply at various points on the voyage. Putting these figures side by side we obtain the following

COST OF VOYAGE.
+
The next point to be considered is the coet of fuel on the voyage, excluding con. cumption in ports, allowing in each case seventy-five days' steaming for the round voyage.
Taking a consumption of 12 tons per day, the total is 900 tons, and, at the price, of oil in Singapore, 38s. per ton, this works out at 21,575.
Taking the average cost of coal for the round voyage at 21s. per ton, which is the figure at which it works out, based on this year's contracts, when only 500 tons or so is carried, and at a consumption of 40 tons per day, we obtain a total consumption of 3,000 tons and cost of £3,150.
Moreover, the steamer, in coaling, will lose two days on the round voyage, which, reckoned by the owners at £46 a day, means a loss of £92. The saving in fuel alone in the case of the motor boat ie £1,575.
Now, turning to depreciation: three voyages a year may be assumed for each resnel, Assurning seventy-five
days' steaming and forty-six days in ports on bath round voyage; that is, 121 days per voyage. The extra first cost of the Diesel ship may be taken at £15,000, and, assuming the depreciation to be the same on either steamer or motor ship, the lat ter, in the course of the year, reckoned at five per cent., depreciates £760 more than the steamer, e, £250 per voyage.
It is estimated by the steamship owners that the watches in the engine-room of the motor boat would be approximately equal to the watches of the engine-room staff and firemen of the steamer, and on this assumption the following statement can be drawn up:

THE "SHELL" COMBINE AND THE ADMIRALTY.
Perhaps the most important develop- ment in connection with the oil industry during the year 1911 was the enormous, increase in oil production which has come under the control of the Royal Dutch- Shell interests. For 1910 the production of the Royal Dutch-Shell subsidiaries was roughly 1,742,000 tons; for 1911 it was 2,518,000 tons, and at the présent time. the output is at the rate of 2,000,000 tons per annum, and it is still increasing. It is apparent, therefore, that the time is
fast approaching, if it has not already arrived, when there will be no difficulty on the part of the Shell interests in guaranteering a big supply of oil fuel to the Admiraly on 2 virtually permanent basis. Consequently there is probably very reliable foundation for the rumour, current in well-informed circles, that an announcement will soon be made by the "Shell" Transport and Trading Company to the effect that it has ontered into an agreement with the British Admiralty.
There are rumours that negotiations have been resumed for the introduction of Royal Dutch shares in Paris. This would be very important for the Royal Dutch- shares Combine, inasmuch as it would enable this group to cover its future requirements in three big markets-Paris, Amsterdam, and London-instead of two, as in the past.
