Shaw Savill "Might Skip Papeete"
Unless Papeete business interests are prepared to “give the ship a fairer deal”, there is a possibility that that port will lose the valuable tourist business brought there four times a year by the 20,000-ton Shaw Savill liner Southern Cross, accord ing to a Suva correspondent.
He says adverse reports have been made to the owners alleging ex cessive charging, not only of the passengers, but also for services provided to the ship, transport for organised tours, etc. There are also understood to be certain other dif ficulties associated with that port.
