Reshuffle in BP Shipping Services

WITH the entry of Burns Philp’s new 10-passenger MV Tulagi in the Islands service there has been a reshuffle of the company’s fleet.

Malaita is being transferred from the Norfolk-New Hebrides-Solomons service to the New Guinea run. with Bulolo and Malekula. Tulagi takes over Malaita’s run.

Unfortunately the popular New Hebrides-Solomons round-trip will no longer be available. Tulagi’s limited passenger accommodation will probably be overtaxed with travelling Islands people.

Though there were plans to serve the Northern Solomons with a vessel on the New Guinea service, the schedule for Tulagi (see time tables Section) now includes those ports.

Mr. Warren Christian, of Pitcairn Island, journeyed to New Zealand in the liner Mataroa in June for medical attention. He planned to return to the island by the same vessel in July.
