Two New Ships for

Aust. West Pacific Line

A SHIPPING success story will enter a nsw chapter in 1961 when the Australia West Pacific Line will place two more modern cargo liners into service. .

In 1948, Swedish ship-owner Otto Hillerstrom took a boid step by diverting his two newest ships, MV s Aros and Citos, from their proposed Nth Atlantic service into the Pacific.

Joined by Delos (built in Den mark) and Milos (Japan) , they iun from Sydney to Japan direct, carry ing wool and refrigerated cargo, and return via Hongkong, Manila, NG, BSI, and N. Hebrides.

In Rabaul this month, Mr. Folke Hillerstrom, AWPL’s managing director, and son of the founder, gave details of the two new ships.

One is being built in Denmark for delivery in August. The other, in Japan, will be ready Jan., 1961.

No names have been chosen yet.

Each will be 7,500 tons d.w., slightly bigger than the existing ships. Machinery and superstructure will be placed further aft, giving them a completely different profile to other AWPL ships.
