Cargo Levy to Pay for Suva's Earthquake-Damaged Wharf
DUE to earthquake and tidal wave damage to the Suva wharves, the Suva port authority has announced a levy of 5/- per ton on all incoming cargo to this Fiji port.
This will have the effect of rais ing the prices of all imported goods by 5/- per ton.
The freight rate from Auckland to Suva on general cargo which was £5/1/6 per ton is thus now £5/6/6.
