Freight Rates
Sir, —Sir John Ormond blames the time lost on the New Zealand coast as the main reason for the latest freight increase, but is the Meat Board doing anything to relieve the situation? Of course not. Gore is to have a new freezing works, miles from a main port; therefore double handling and extra costs. The South American meat trade has freezing works alongside the wharves; livestock is transported once to the works and then to the ship, saving costs, no double railway handling. As regards a national line or New Zea-land-owned company. Sir John Ormond says it “might be useful for opening up new markets in the Pacific and South-east Asia.” Perhaps he should look at the Conference Lines* expansion plus the China Navigation Company’s expansion in this area over the last 18 months.—Yours, etc., A WIN FOR WHOM? July 19, 1966.
