GISBORNE HARBOUR WORK
NEW BASIN FOR SMALL CRAFT From Our Own Correspondent GISBORNE, Today. The small shipping using the Gisborne Harbour, including lighters, trawlers and barges, will be catered for by a basin which is now being excavated from the land lying between the old river entrance and the diversion cut, an area of from three to four acres.
The dredge Korua is at present at work on the scheme, which is expected to be finished within a few weeks at a cost of about £II,OOO. It is not proposed to work cargo from the new basin, but simply to provide room for the small vessels to lie during times of congestion in the main harbour.
