The official stated that most of tho world's largo ports have oilloading appliances, and a 20,(KXMon liner could bo bunkered with oil in twelve hours instead of three to four and often more days. A 20,000-ton liner would burn about 3000 tons of coal from England to Now York. With oil 1500 tons deadweight would be saved,, and there-was a reduction of about fifty in tlio engine-room staff.
