Add Third Ship
FROM the end of March, the New Guinea Australia Line will have three vessels on the New Guinea service: Sinkiang, which was withdrawn some time ago when Soochow came onto the run, will by then have returned from refitting in Hong Kong. While Soochow and Shansi will continue to terminate their runs in Sydney, Sinkiang will terminate in Mel bourne. This should be popular with Territories folk whose allegi ance is with the Southern State rather than with NSW and Queens land.
Since entering the Australia- PNG trade a couple of years ago, these ships have become very popular with PNG travellers. Al though they are only 3,000-tonners, the standard of service from their Chinese crews is something that passengers on ships on the Aus tralian register have forgotten about.
