Europe dominates f
The dominance of European shipping on New Zealand routes is in evidence at Lyttelton today with the only overseas ships in the port being Russian, Polish and Rumanian in contrast to the once dominant BritishI flagged ships. The Russian ship Khu- ' dozhnik Deyneka is loading ■ frozen mutton for Russia, the Hanka Sawicka is picking up wool for the Continent and the Rumanian stock carrier Sinaia is taking breeding livestock sheep to Rumania. Russian shipping appears to be leading the world dominance in Europe with the opening of non-Confer-ence services. One of these has been the development of the Soviet Tran s-Siberian Container Line between the Far East and Western Europe. In the past two years this service has taken between 15 and 20 per cent of the Japan-Western Europe container trade with drastic cutting of Conference tariffs. ■The Russians have consistently claimed that world shipping has grown much faster during the past few years than world trade. This has led to over-tonnaging. the Soviets say. They have denied that corss-trading has been a major business whereas Soviet vessels carried only about 30M tonnes in cross-
trades against HOM tonnes in their over-all foreign trade. Not all Soviet shipping is non-Conference. About 10 years ago Russian shipping lines joined the Europe-Aus-tralia-New Zealand conference. Since then the Soviets have increased the frequency of their sailings and introduced increasingly modern tonnage with container and roll-on roll-off shipping. ARRIVALS Hanka Sawicka <6 a.m.), 6944.
