October, 1925 MARINE REVIEW TWIN SCREW MOTORSHIP SORVARD BUILT FOR LAURITZ KLOSTER, OLSO, NORWAY, BY BURMEISTER & WAIN—LATEST TYPE OF MODERN tric-hydraulic type, controlled from the bridge by a _ telemotor. In the bridge erection accommo- dations are provided for a limited number of passengers, and for the captain and first steward. The wire- less cabin, the chart room and the saloon are also situated here. Engi- neers and deck officers have their accommodation in the deck house around the engine casing. The gal- ley and officers’ and seamen’s mess room and hospital are also located here. The crew are accommodated at the after end of the upper deck in cabins arranged for two men each. Steam heating is supplied by a don- key boiler located in the engine room. The propelling machinery consists of two 6-cylinder, 4-stroke single act- ing diesel engines of the new light built type for twin screw vessels made by Burmeister & Wain. Revyo- lutions per minute are 130 and the total indicated horsepower for the two engines is 2600. The stipulated normal average speed at sea is 10.75 knots on a daily fuel oil consumption of 8% tons giving the vessel a cruis- ing radius of about 33,000 miles. All of the auxiliary machinery, both in engine room and on deck, is electrically driven and the current is supplied by three dynamos similar to the arrangement on the M. S. PRIMERO. Any one of the dynamos is sufficient while at sea, but two, or even all three, must be in opera- tion when the vessel is maneuvering in and out of harbors with the maneu- vering compressor running, or when loading and discharging cargo. * * * Screw Single Freighter Jevington Court On June 9, Workman, Clark & Co., Ltd., launched the S. S. JEVINGTON CourT, built for Haldin & Co., Ltd., London, for freight service. The CARGO VESSEL JEVINGTON COURT was completed and had a trial trip on July 8, 1925. This vessel is a beautifully modeled sin- gle screw steamer and is the fourth of her type turned out by the build- ers for the same owners. She will be used by them in their grain and general cargo services. The JEVINGTON CouRT is a com- plete shelter deck vessel with the following registered dimensions: length, 397 feet; beam, 53 feet 2% inches and draft, 24 feet 6% inches. Her gross tonnage is over 4600 tons. Particular attention has been given to the arrangement of the crew’s accommodations which are exception- 353 holds are free from obstruction. In this case the old steam recipro- cating vertical inverted direct act- ing surface condensing ,triple expan- sion engine supplied with steam by ample boilers is the propulsive power. The machinery was also built by Workman, Clark & Co., Ltd., and can, therefore, be depended upon to be of the highest quality in workman- ship and design. * * * Screw Motorship Heina The trial trip of the splendid single screw M. S. HEINA illustrated here- with took place on Feb. 4, 1925. The average speed attained on the trial was 11.55 knots, with the motor mak- ing 97% revolutions per minute and with an indicated horsepower of 2450. The average draft was 9 feet, 11% inches. For the consumption test the main engine developed 2225 indicated horsepower at 93.8 revolutions per minute and the fuel consumption was 129 grams per indicated horsepower hour, including the auxiliary ma- Sin gle chinery. Immediately on the comple- tion of the trials the vessel loaded cement at a Danish port and started at once on her maiden. voyage to South America fully loaded. On this voyage a mean speed of around 10% miles was attained with the machin- SHELTER DECK STEAM FREIGHTER JEVINGTON COURT FOR GRAIN AND GENERAL CARGO—BUILT BY WORKMAN CLARK & CO., LTD. ally large and are comfortably fitted out. ‘“ The cargo gear is of the _ latest type and the large number of winches and derricks have been arranged with careful attention for the expeditious handling of cargo. There are five large cargo holds, arranged partic- ularly for the carriage of grain. The structural arrangements have been designed with this in view, and the . ery developing 2118 indicated horse- power at 90 revolutions per minute with a total fuel consumption of 6.6 tons per day. The M. S. HEINA was built to the order of J. Ludwig Mowinckel, Ltd., Norwegian shipowner, by the Copen- hagen Floating Dock & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd.
