SHIPPING

Bolindale busy on Chathams run The trusty and, lately, rusty veteran of the Chatham Islands run, the . Holmdale, returned “home” to Lyttelton yesterday and immediately prepared <• for another quick turn-around to get another shipment of building materials and. supplies to Waitangi. Her last voyage, under better weather and sea conditions than those' experienced on some recent trips, lasted onlv 10 davs — two days out, six days at Waitangi, and two days for the return voyage. The Holmdale’s next voyage, her 183rd, is scheduled to begin on June 11, giving her barely four days to discharge and load at Lyttelton. . She is expected to berth ’at Waitangi on June 13. leave there on June 18, and arrive back in Lyttelton on June 21. The 19-year-old vessel: affectionately known as “the Chatham Islands Greyhound.” will then go into dry dock for her annua] survey. Another veteran, the Shipping Corporation’s faithful Coastal Trader. has been having mechanical problems latelv with her bow thruster again but of action. The. lack Of the bow thruster means that she requires the services Of a tug, at Lyttelton. Dunedin, and Auckland, costing about $2500 each week.
