Union Steam Ship's New Fiji Service
p. 88 · Read in the full issue
The Union Steam Ship Company's Pukeko steams out of Onehunga (NZ) towards the end of February on a voyage to Suva which opens a new supplementary service be tween NZ and Fiji by the Pukeko and Holmburn operating alternately out of Onehunga at weekly intervals to Suva and Lautoka. Approved palleted cargo will merit a 5 per cent reduction in freight rates and on general cargo this is equivalent to a reduction of about $2 per pallet load. The special "W" and "L" containers will also be available, principally for shippers whose cargo attracts pilferers or needs extra care in stowage.
Both ships provide stowage for general cargo and produce and Holmburn has also space for freezer and reefer cargo.
