Principal problems which have had to be solved in past few years, and are considered, are welded design, combustion of heavy fuels, turbocharging of large 2-stroke engines, and further increase of output by adoption of large cylinder bores; attention is also given to measures and devices for facilitating overhaul work, cylinder liner wear, crankcase contamination, fuel viscosity and costs, and question of steam vs diesel.
