NO PASSENGER SERVICE
South Island-Melbourne
STATEMENT BY UNION COMPANY
The Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, Limited, announces that it is now unable to provide this summer a passenger service between South Island ports and Melbourne, in which it was intended to place the Maunganui.
The reasons for this decision are the necessity for conserving fuel oil stocks, and the company’s reluctance to incur, in existing circumstances, the operating loss involved, which it is considered will be greater than in previous years owing to falling away of passenger traffic because of war conditions.
