Aorangi Sails From Sydney

p. 13 · Read in the full issue

THE liner Aorangi has resumed the Australia-North American passenger service after being laid up in Sydney since the end of January.

Because of huge losses since 1948 the owners withdrew the liner from the service after she got back from Canada in January and put her up for sale. The Governments of Canada, Australia and New Zealand then agreed to pay her owners a subsidy to keep her running for the next 12 months. Previously Australia and Canada had refused to pay their share of the subsidy asked.
