Average annual cost of obtaining fresh water for boiler feed and domestic use by distillation from sea is calculated for bulk ships and container ships, and compared to cost of carrying purchased shore water for these uses; results are presented as annual cost differences between alternatives as functions of voyage length, with other significant factors as parameters; they confirm general belief that distillation is to be preferred, even if shore water did not typically require redistillation before use; circumstances in which shore water might be attractive alternative are pointed out.
