NEW OIL TANKERS. Last year the Anglo-Persian Oil Company decided to strengthen the fleet of its British Tanker Company, Limited, by 18 new oil-carriers, and the first of these was launched on the Tyne on April 4 ; states the “Syren and Shipping.” Since the war the company has built no fewer than 44 vessels of this type, and the fact that all these have been constructed at Home is a striking tribute to its enterprise and the virility of British shipbuilding. When the tonnage on order is completed the fleet will consist of over 80 units aggregating over 750,000 tons deadweight.
