ZUNUD KERTZAR SHIPPING NEWS.

A New Shipping Company. The Ocean Transport Co. capitalised at Y.3,000,000 and established last summer, has been working services to and from the eastern coasts of the United States, Straits Settlements, Java: and Australia with 18 chartered Eteamers of 6,000 tons.

~~The ss. Alicku Marn.” News has been received that temporary repairs have been effected on the s... * Ai oku Maru," 4.270 tons, which burst her main steam pipe when on the way to Seattle on April 27, and that the vessel has continued her voyage.

A New Naval Service Chevron. The Admiralty announces that la distinctive chevron will be issu d to all descriptions of the Naval Service, including women. who began rea service in 1914, with an additional chevron for each year of subsequent service. Those employed in the Dominion Navy are eligible for the reward in respect of service outside their cwn.country.

Ships Seized at Halfs

A recent telegram from Halifax N.S. says: Three steamers,two" Dutch and one Russian, have been seized by the naval authori ties here, and will be engaged in. the British mercantile service. The Dutch steamers, are about. 2,000 tons net, and had been in port for some time, while the Russian boat arrived here on. Sunday minus a propeller blade. The officer boarding the steamers encountered no 'opposition" or protest,

Sale of Japanese Vessels. The "Asahi" states that there is reason to believe that though the Government is prohibiting the sale or charter of Japanese vessels to foreigners, the... authorities are considering some new proposals for the offer of Japanese vessels in the form of insugu ating

Japanese services abroad. Our Japanese contemporary says that even if France asks Japan to offer vessels, it will be impossible under the present circumst srices for Japan to accede to the request, and

authorities cannot consider any proposal for the offer of Japanese vessels except by way of opening new Japanese steamship services abroad.

Bunkerlag Facilities in U.S. Ports.

the

The United States Shipping Bard has commenced a survey of the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf ports, with a view to increasing the bunking facilities for ships ad getting the maximum use of them by fnatalling time-saving achinery for loading fuel By. inaugurating modern methods it. is hoped to get vessels into port and out again with less delay. In some instances it will require an extension of docking facilities. At all parts close to coalfields it ia proposed that there shall be a double equipment; and that the most modern facilities eball be installed. Barges are to be built to bring coal to the ports by inland waterways, thus relieving the strain upon railway trans- portation. The Fuel and Railroad Administrations and the Shipping Board are working out the new system.

Does Shipowning Pay? The directors of the Tempus Shipping Company, in a circular just issued. to shareholders, anrouace a final dividend of 5 per cent, making 10 per cent, free of tax for the year, but they explain that in order to do this they have had to raw on their reserves The whole of their Vessels are under. requisition by the Government, and the rates of hire they are now receiving are insufficient to pay the working expenses. The directors say they are carrying on their business under mcst, trying conditions, and although the Government bave promised to give them some relie, up to the presezt the relief is n tftbooming. They add that in the 1917 Budget ship owners were penalised very severely in the Finance Act, and were singled out for special treatment. All other businesses which make a loss are sllowed to make up that loss to their pre- war standard from the excess profits duty already paid, but this privilege is denied to the shipowner. After asiation, how- ever, they did succeed in getting a clause by which the percentage basis is to be assured, but uaff); they know their exact position they cannot forecast the future Dividenda are bound to be less and they think it would be fu to seek to hide the facts: 1rom their shareholders.
