CHINESE VESSEL
Union Jack Displayed The motor vessel Taichungshan, now discharging Japanese cargo at Lyttelton, has a large Union Jack painted on both sides. The sign is a form of protection for vessels visiting Chinese ports or other troubled areas. In the case of the 3464-ton Taichungshan. which takes her name from a mountain in Hong Kong, the sign is now almost superfluous. The eight vessels of the company which owns her trade mainly between Hong Kong and Bangkok and Singapore. Formerly owned by A. P. Moller and Company, Ltd, the Taichungshan now belongs to the Shun Cheong S.N. Company. Ltd. of Hong Kong, and is registered in London. She has a Chinese crew and Chinese officers, apart from the master and chief engineer, who are from Britain.
