Inter-Island Sailings
The pattern of six night sailings a week of the interisland steamers between Wellington and Lyttelton will be broken next month and again in June, when the Wahine and the Maori will be withdrawn for annual survey. The Wahine will be surveyed between April 2 and April 17, and the Maori between June 11 and June 27. When the inter-island steamers underwent annual surveys previously, the Union Steam Ship Company, Ltd., used a stand-by vessel. However, the advent of roll-on vessels has meant no suitable steamer is available as a replacement. While one vessel is being surveyed the other will maintain the service. This has made necessary extensive changes in sailing schedules. There will not be a sailing from each port on every week night, and some daylight and Sunday sailings are planned. Full details of the schedules are given in an advertisement in the shipping and air services column in today’s paper.
