Another ship for Captain Rusden

New Hebrides shipowner Captain Athol R. Rusden has bought the MV Holmlea from the Holm Shipping Company, of Wellington.

The ship was to leave Auck land for the New Hebrides on April 25 and then take over a Noumea - Fiji - Wallis and Futuna Island trading run from another of Captain Rusden’s ships, the MV Konanda, which is to return to the New Hebrides to work within the group.

The Holmlea can carry 800 tons and has a speed of 11 knots. She will be renamed Wallisien.

Captain Rusden’s fleet now comprises the motor vessels Altair, Darnley, Konanda, Paulmarkson, Colorado del Mar, and Tui Cakau in ad dition to the Holmlea.
