I have been informed by the British and Irish Steam Packet Company that the total number of ships under its control at present is 13.
The replacement of or addition to the ships of the fleet to meet from time to time the needs of the company's trade is the responsibility of the board of the company. I have received no proposals regarding replacements for or additions to the existing fleet.
