Mass production methods have been used and the whole of Canada has contributed parts small and large to these ships. When in post-war years the type of ship is changed and the number from each design is back to pre-war years (2, 3, 4 or 5 from one scrleve) will British Colum bla yards still be able to obtain contracts on a competitive basis? The answer is in the necntlve S' to V'iM Were present day ships equipped to use the King Boreas Universal Invisible type of motive powc the B. C. yards would be in an excellent position for a busy program. On a competitive basis, to buy in engines from the east as has been the rule for this wartime program would be hopeless to even contemplate and compete with yards capable of supplying their own needs from their own shops In the way of engines and boilers, The same applies to the Joiner shops and other shops necessary for economic shipbuilding. The percentage of steel work in any vessel varies with the type of vessel. As the B. C. yards arc I ilmply hull yards their percentage of profit Is based on the steel future. The demand for passenger ! ships anticipated for the near future will likely have little effect in British Columbia circles for lack of the facilities neces sary for the production of a higher type of shipbuilding. Wherever steel shipbuilding is practised there will be found little .difference in the .equipment in use in the various builders steel sheds or fabricating shops. Punches, shears, rolls, rams and general tqulpment will be found very much the same although varying in layout duplication '.and size. It is in the engineering and finishing shops where the B. C. yards are a considerable number , of years out of date. At the pres ent time there are no pattern shops, foundries or engine shops n B. jC, that could be used lor a. sustained deep-sea shipbuilding BUILD B.C.

For example a steel barge Is built, no machin ery or accommodation is required. Profit can be based on the whole of the work or contract. A similar barge is built with propelling machinery, deck winches and accommodation for crew. The price is higher in pro portion but. although the steel work is oj the same tonnage, the proportion of steel work in relation to the total cost drops to 7S nercent. Should the builder have the shoDS to do the whole i contract he can hase his profits ' 'on 100 percent but should it be necessary to sub-contract machinery alia accommodation work, jhis profits can only be based on j the 75 percent. Take a 10,000-ton freighter 65 percent at least steel work, 25 percent for machinery and 10 Pacific Milk has played a vital percent for accommodation rig-part in action overseas because I King and navigation necessities. of the huge quantities shipped to our troops.

Buy More War Savings Stamps The same hull is to be used as -a passenger vessel. More powerful machinery is required. First class accommodation and other fittings raise the price considerably but the weight of steel work is the same. In relation to the whole cost the percentage of steel drops Buy them and keep 'to 35 percent, Machinery stayst 25 percent, 35 percent for cabin work and liecessary fittings, 5 percent for navigation supplies. Some thirty to forty years ago there were a number of yards in Great Britain equipped very sim ilar to the present B. C. yards Often enough when their order books were a blank they would build on speculation and In all nn spa snip wnuia oe nunc those ships before completion. Competition became stronger and more keen. Those yards which had made a policy of pro eresslvc development stayed in business and prospered. Those that persisted in time honored methods have long since closed down and these days are only memories. Tills Is the root of B. C. ship building problems. The Industry is out of alignment or balance. The necessary plant and ability to fabricate steel hulls docs not constitute a modern shipbuilding concern. It is necessary to have engineering facilities to put life Into the hulls. The closer the en gines are built to the flttlng-out berth of the hulls, the cheaper in all ways will be the final cost of the whole ship The B. C. yards have remained static and nothing can remain static and prosper. The British are worrying how they are to re build their own merchant marine and at the same time cater to foreign owners they did business with before 1939. The freighter market is saturated. Higher clas sified ships will toe In great de mahd. B. C. yards will likely be idle because B. C. lacks any facl lltles for deep-sea engine build in and other facilities necessary for first class shipbuilding, SHIPBUILDER, B. R.
