SHIP DIVERTED TO LYTTELTON
LOADING OF FROZEN MEAT FOR BRITAIN
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 16. The Shaw Savill and Albion vessel Waipawa, has been diverted from Wellington to Lyttelton because of congestion in Wellington. The Waipawa was expected to arrive from Brisbane on Monday to load frozen meat for London and Liverpool. She will now load meat at Lyttelton and will come to Wellington about February 9 to load cheese and general cargo. This is the second vessel diverted from Wellington, but the first to be diverted before its arrival.
The intercolonial vessel Karitane left Wellington last week for New Plymouth after waiting five days for labour to unload her cargo of wheat from Australia.
There are 13 overseas ships in port and it is likely that there will be 20 by Monday.
