“FINE EFFORT”
UNLOADING OF INCHWELLS WATERSIDERS AND CARRYING CONTRACTORS “A fine effort ” was how the Dunedin branch manager of the Waterfront Industry Control Commission, Mr A. Matheson, described the unloading of 6200 tons of cargo from the freighter Inchwells. This vessel arrived on November 12 and sailed last evening for Wellington.
Mr Matheson offered high praise also to the carrying contractors who, he said, had cleared the wharf sheds, enabling the 7200-ton motor ship Australihd to occupy the Inchwells’s berth at Victoria wharf for the immediate commencement of the discharge of her cargo. At the present time, when the majority of the sheds were full with either inward or outward cargoes, the contractors’ work had been particularly helpful. The Inchwells, which brought 5000 tons of wheat and 1200 tons of general cargo from Melbourne, had seven gangs of watersiders employed on her, each gang having 16 men in it.
