RADIATA PINE EXPORTS
New Contracts With Japan
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, January 25.
The log-loading berth at the port of Mount Maunganui will be fully occupied every day of the year by Japanese ships taking radiata pine to Japan. The ships will be loading SO,ooo,oooft of logs under contracts that ha,ve been agreed on.
This is revealed in a statement in Auckland today by the group of companies exporting logs. “The four Japanese firms taking the logs have arranged for the arrival of a ship every 10 days,” says the statement. “In the past there has been much overlapping of ships through firms not combining or arranging a schedule.”
The logs are worth £1,000,000 free on board.
Under the present arrangement, the port is fully committed for the export of logs for the whole of 1960. Based on last year’s loading figures, 45.000,000 ft will be shipped from the wharf and 15,000,000 by barge loading in the western channel.
