LYTTELTON TUGS
Work Resumes At Port
All marine engineers employed by the Lyttelton Harbour Board will resume work this morning after being on strike
for eight days. The tug Lyttelton which already has steam for firefighting duties, can be readied for work in an hour, but the dredge Peraki, which has water tube boilers, will take longer. The small dredge Te Whaka and the floating crane Rapaki, both of which are coal-fired, will take much longer but all craft are expected to be operational by Monday. At present the veteran dredge Canterbury and the tug Lyttelton II are under routine overhaul.
There are nine ships due at Lyttelton today. Those requiring pilotage for berthing are the French cargo passenger liner Maori, Port Invercargill, Cap Frio, Yarrunga and U.S.S. Mills.
Members of the pilot staff resumed piloting when the Karamu was brought in from the anchorage on Tuesday. No tug was used during all this time.
