DIRECT SHIPMENTS
OVERSEAS CARGOES FOR DUNEDIN Importers are urged in a circular from the Otago Importers and Shippers’ Association to emphasise to their shippers the necessity of bringing cargo for Dunedin in vessels which are scheduled to call at Dunedin to unload. In the cases of cargoes from London, importers should request their shippers to use vessels that .were to make South Island ports their first ports of call for discharge,. The association, especially since 1945, had been demanding that the overseas companies should resume unloading Dunedin cargo at this port, instead of transhipping such cargo from northern ports by coastal vessels. Companies which operated direct services from overseas ports in pre-war times were willing, the circular concluded, to resume these services if sufficient cargo was offering.
