Built to the order of the Bluff Harbour Board, the motor tug Southland was launched from the Dublin Dockyard. Ltd., on October 26. She is 143 ft. in length, with a beam of 30ft. and a moulded depth of 12ft. 6in. The propelling equipment comprises two 600 b.h.p. Vickers-Petter engines, and a speed of 12% knots is to be attained.

Deck accommodation is provided for 200 passengers; 65 tons of cargo can be carried, and there is sufficient oil fuel in cross-bunkers for journeys of about 6000 miles. A Cochran boiler is installed for driving the deck auxiliaries, and there is a 50 b.h.p. Vickers-Petter oil engine, coupled to a Pulsometer salvage pump. THE SHIPBUILDING OUTLOOK. Deplorable as the situation in the shipping industry has been for some time past, evidences are accumulating, according to “The Motor Ship.” that, when the coal dispute comes to an end. a revival is possible. The upward trend of freights has been so pronounced as to imbue shipowners with renewed confidence, and already the volume of new contracts gives promise of better things to come. The reduction in laid-up tonnage is also a satisfying feature. In this new situation the motor ship shows every sign of consolidating and improving upon the position it has gained. The orders placed last month in British and Continental yards represent a total of about 160,000 tons, and include such notable vessels as a trans-Atlantic passenger liner, a 21,000-ton tanker, and two 16-knot cargo vessels. ing to the latest statistics at the end of September work was proceeding upon the construction of motor vessels of about 850,000 tons gross, equivalent to approximately 99 per cent, of the figure relating to steamers.
