Service
LAE, NG, is likely at times to see vessels of the Norse Oriental Line, which has just commenced a service between the American Pacific Coast, Eastern Australia, Indonesia, and Malaya. Timber cargoes, when offering, will be picked up at Lae on the eastbound run.
The Norse Oriental Line is joint owned by Messrs. Bruusgaard Kiosterud and A/S. Thor Dahl, two Norwegian companies. The latter is well known in the South Pacific through its Pacific Islands Transport Line connections, operating the vessel Thorsisle, and earlier, the Thor I. Their vessel T hor strand and Bruusgaard Kiosterud’s Hallvard, both of over 6,000 tons deadweight, and of 15 knots speed, will maintain about a monthly service. Hallvard, opening the service, was in Sydney in Jan uary, where persons important in the shipping business were enter tained aboard.
