Oil as Fuel for Steamer Gowrie Trial Shows Promise
The steamship Gowrie discharged nine cargoes of oil from Marne at the Thames dock and sailed 880 miles to London using liquid fuel alone. The substitution of coal by oil improved speed and bunker efficiency with oil occupying less space, and daily consumption reduced from 38 tons of coal to 22 tons of oil. The fuel is described as excellent and competitively priced, quoted at 90 shillings per ton in Hong Kong, 38 in Japan and Colombo, and 30 at Suez.
