Exporters save millions
Auckland The Dairy Board has negotiated a three-year shipping contract which, it is asserted, will save exporters millions of dollars a year. The contract will takes effect on January 1. The board’s assistant general. manager, Mr John Beckett, said yesterday that the established shipping lines had expressed interest in extending their present
contract at lower freight rates. Mr Beckett said that substantial reductions were achieved. Savings of "a few millions a year” would be achieved on casein, frozen cream, and cheese exports to North America. The contract will go to the Columbus and P.A.C.E. Lines to take the products to North American Atlantic coast ports, but is likely to
be extended to include the New Zealand Line’s service to American Pacific coast ports. The New Zealand manager of Pacific Maritime, Ltd, Mr Colin Small, said that dairy farmers could have enjoyed even greater savings if the board had accepted an offer from its shipping company principal, the A.B.C. Container Line.
