It was announced recently that the Union Steam Ship Company s Katoa, which has been laid up in the stream at Wellington for a considerable time past, had "been sold to Eastern buyers. It has now been ascertained that the firm concerned is Aloller and Co., Shanghai, which has figured largely in buying operations during the last two years. Delivery of the Katoa is to be taken between October 1 and December 31 this year, during which period a crew will arrive from the East to take the vessel away (says an exchange). Other vessels which have been bought by Aloller and Co. in the last year include two ships from Great Britain belonging to the Empire Transport Company, named the Rhodesian transport aiid the Egyptian Transport. These two vessels have been respectively named the Alice Aloller and the Helen Aloller. A Newcastle collier, the Duckcnficld, was recently purchased by Aloller and Co. in Australia, and when she sailed for_ Hongkong in July she was accompanied by the Union Companv’s Kurow, which had also been bought by the Eastern firm. These two ships are now known as the Ethel Aloller and the Alabel Aloller. It is expected that when delivery is taken of the Katoa she will also take the Aloller name. , • The Katoa is the latest of 28 Union Company ships to be sold since 1896 to companies operating in the East. The aggregate gross tonnage sold by the company to Eastern buyers is approximately 70.000, and included in this total are 14 vessels each less than 2,000 tons. The smallest was the first Orowait!, a steamer of 453 tons, which was among the early stagers built in_ 1882. The largest and most modern is tho Waitemata, which was sold this year. Her gross register is 5,/29 tons, and she was built in 1919. The oldest vessel was the Manapouri, which was built in 1881 and sold in June, 1915. _ From 1928 to 1931 the majority of Union Company sales were made to Kongkong, to firms which, it is understood, are mainly operated by one person. Earlier sales were largely concentrated round the years 1903 and 1910, many of them being through brokers. VESSELS IN WIRELESS CALL.
