No "Lakemba"
There is not likely to be any public inquiry into the loss of the 7,500-ton Lakemba, off Vatu lele, Fiji, last October.
Full settlement of insurance has been made by the under writers, Lloyds, and PIM under stands that neither the under writers nor the owners, W. R.
Carpenter and Co., have been told there is to be an inquiry md neither will ask for one.
An insurance payout does not necessarily mean that an inquiry will not be held into a sinking, but in view of the passage of time since the Lakemba’s loss md the absence of any move to hold an inquiry, it is not likely now that an inquiry will be held.
