Attention directed to ship and engineering problems revealed in running of merchant ships at reduced speeds and reduced consumption; losses in engine efficiency as powers are reduced from original designed values; losses in hulk performance; new coal coefficients devised; available means of improving hull and engine performance at low powers; determination of economic speed range as influenced by efficiency; steps which can be taken to improve weather performance of particular vessel; how reduced-power running is most efficiently accomplished from point of view of machinery; notes on major alterations which involve greater capital outlay and require primary consideration from commercial standpoint.
