Heifers for S. Korea
A Lyttelton waterfront corral will handle 1400 heifers today which will be loaded in a ship for export to South Korea. The heifers will be transferred from trucks to a trailer on No. 2 East wharf, where the livestock carrier Baupre Island will berth this morning. They will then be herded up a race leading from the trailer to the 6384-ton vessel, according to a spokesman for Seaport Operations, Ltd, the ship’s stevedore. The Baupre Island, calling from Brisbane, is due to sail for Tauranga this evening where she will pick up the rest of the heifer shipment. Her voyage to Korea is expected to take 18 days. This is the first livestock shipment to leave Lyttelton since April, 1979, when a vessel loaded 21,000 live sheep for Rumania.
