Notes
In the tables which form part of each ship description, all dimensions, deadweight and displacement tonnages are metric, unless otherwise stated.
Machinery powers have been specified as 'Bhp' or 'kW' in accordancewith information received from the shipbuilder. Emergency alternators are
not included in the number of alternators. Where a dash (-) has been included against an item, this generally denotes lack of information, but
where it is known that features have not been included, this is indicated by 'nil'. This year, the number of sister ships completed or on order does
not include the ship presented.Some ships shown as 'on order' may have been delivered by the time this publication appears.
