So rapid has been the adoption Of
oil by merchant shipping that with.
In the last year the worlds tonnage
equipped for the use Of oil as fuel
for the boilers or In internal combus-
ti"n engines has increased by halt,
according to the annual report Of
iL'yds' Register of Shipping.
AS result. the proportion of the
worlds tonnage fitted for coal burn
ing has declined from 81 to 70 per
cent. while that equipped for oil burn.
i,lg has risen from II per cent to Ia
per cent. There has been no change
In the relative position Of shipping
having sail power only, which still
constitutes 6 per cent Of the worlds
shipping Of 100 gross tons and over.
New ships classed during the last
year which were fitted for burning
oil fuel numbered 428 vessels Of
1.995,OOO gross tons as compared with
211 vessels Of 1,193O0O tons during
the previous year.
Since the armistice q great develop.
ment has taken place In the use Of
internal combustion engines, and dsr-
ing the last year classification was
made Of twenty-eight new vessels At
ted with such engines as their main
propelling power. At present there

United Kingdom. The largest Diesel
engines are those for the Glenogie.
Of 9.15O gross tons. The largest OIL
engined vessels completed during the
year was the Afrika, Of 8.597 tons.
Turbine Still Largely In Use.
The success of vessels fitted with
geared steam turbines Is indicated BY
the fact that In the last year 245 such
vessels. aggregating 1,2S6,OO0 gross
tons. have been classed.
Reviewing conditions during the
year Lloyds' Register points out that
over 4.250,OOO tons Of shipping were
classed, in comparison with 100000
tons in the previous twelve months
and that at the end Of last June the
total Of merchant vessels under clas.
sification was 100000 tons.
The countries In which the great
bulk Of the new tonnage has been
built, It is pointed out, are the United
States. the United Kingdom and ia
pan. Other countries In which there
Is at present a comparatively large
amount Of merchant shipping being
constructed are Holland. Canada,
Italy, Sweden, Spain and Denmark.
Because Of the great amount Of re-
conditioning undertaken by shipbuild-
ers after the war and the conversion
of a very large number Of vessels to
burn oil instead of coal the output OF
new tonnage, 1t is stated, has undoubt-
edly been limited.
