PORT MORESBY residents are re joicing in the news, recently an nounced by Steamships Trading Company, that the KPM liner “Nieuw Holland” will in future call regularly at the port on her eastern run.
Her three-monthly schedule will be Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney Brisbane, Port Moresby, Java, Singapore, and re turn by the same ports. She will carry passengers and freight between Moresby and Australian ports.
It is anticipated that she will be joined by other KPM ships at a later date.
As well as providing the first class accommodation for which the Dutch liners of the “Nieuw Holland” class are famous, she will allow people who wish to go beyond Sydney to travel directly by sea without breaking their voyage.
It is understood that Steamships Trad ing Co., Ltd., of Papua will use the KPM ship to overcome their cargo lag from the South.
