Reconsideration of propulsion, powering and propeller problem for relatively slow mammoth tanker, or bulk carrier, of ever increasing size and for moderately large fast cargo, or container ship of ever increasing speed; among conclusions it is suggested that twin screws and possibly even triple screws with use of relatively low revolutions per minute might be successfully applied to large tanker if power requirements continue to rise, and that twin or triple screws must be employed on fast dry cargo ships because of draft limitations if speeds rise higher.
