Transfer To Fiji Registry
From Our Own Correspondent
Suva, Jan. 24.
A DEVELOPMENT of interest in circles is the transfer of the Carpenter Line motor vessels Rahaul and Salamaua, formerly registered in London to the Fiji registry.
The details of the transfer of the Sala maua were completed during the vessel’s last visit to Suva, a short time before Christmas, and the final formalities in connection with the transfer of the Rabaul will be completed when that ves sel arrives in March.
These are the first large overseas ships to be placed on the Fiji registry, and, for official purposes, Major C. B.
Joske now becomes the manager of the two ships.
Application is being made for an Ad miralty warrant for a suitable design for a flag for the vessels, under their new registry.
