The objects of the Company aro to organize a modern and up-to-date Shipyard and Repairing Works specialising in Motor Ship. building and Repairing of Motors of all descriptions. The shipyard will also undertake to build or repair vessels other than those driven by Diesel Engines and motors.

It is a well-known fact that Motors, Motorehips, and Diesel-Enginės are being built on an increased scale every year."

Factories and other power plants on land are steadily replacing their steam engines with Motors and Diesel-Engines which are far merc economical.

The latest Shipbuilding statistics show 60% for Motor-ships against 10% for steamships,

The Company will be in a position to tako full advantage: of all the latest epoch-making inventions in shipbuilding and avoid having any part of its capital tied up in obsolete equipments.

This means that a Motor-Shipbuilding Yard with Repairing Works for all types of Motors will not only have new-buildings to com- plete but will have repair work on hand on an increased scale.

A Yard specialising in Motors requires less machinery and equip ment than an ordinary shipyard, thus eliminating, heavy and expensive plants for the building of boilers and other steam auxiliaries. What is essential in a Motor Shipbuilding Yard is a well-equipped Repair Shop: for Diesel Engines and Meters for land and sea and up-to-date facilities. for docking ships.

The Company has entered into so Agreement with the Hong Kong Government to acquire a most suitable space known as Kowloon Marine Lot No. 30 at To Kwa Wan, Kowloon Bay, with a total ares of 222,000 sq. ft. with all buildings, etc. This area until recently was occupied for more than 25 years by the Kwong Tack Cheong Shipyard, Ltd., which has built more than 120 ships.

The purchase price is $295,000 of which 859,000 has been paid. It was surveyed in 1990 and valued by Mesars, Denison, Ram & Gibbs at 8203,000 and resurveyed and revalued by Messrs. Palmer & Turner in July, 1930, at $346,000. This is the value of the land when used for ordinary purposes, but as a Marine Lot already reclaimed and consolidated at considerable expense, its value should be fixed at a much higher price.
