SHIPPING METHODS
Committee To Report (ft.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, July 13. New Zealand’s cargo handling was “not as good as it could be” and would have to be improved as costs rose, Mr W. Molyneux, the chairman of a British shipping lines’ investigation committee, said today. Promoted by four New Zealand shipping lines—Shaw SaviH and Albion, Port Line, the New Zealand Shipping Company and the Blue Star Line—the container and cargo handling committee will study New Zealand ports for the possible introduction of container handling of their trade with this country. "The ‘containerisation’ system has not yet been proven on long hauls and we are neither optimistic nor pessimistic,” Mr Molyneux said. The committee will report on whether all or part of cargoes handled by the four lines could be moved more economically or efficiently in containers, on pallets, in standard loads or packs or “in any other new or improved manner, such as mechanical handling.”
