Solomons’ Hopes
For Forum Line
The Solomon Islands expects
another 18 more commercia
voyages a year if the government de
cides to join the South Pacific
Forum’s regional shipping line. The
services would be from Australia
and New Zealand. At present there
are 14 voyages a year from Australh
and nine from NZ.
While not expecting a cut ir
freight rates, the group sees an econ omic advantage in a speed-up in the
flow of goods, particularly exports
and a cut-back in periodical shor
tages of commodities.
