SHIPPING
The Kopara loads at Lyttelton at the end of this week for Napier and Gisborne. The Margaret W sails from Auckland tomorrow for Coast bays and Gisborne, being due here next Monday. She will sail later for Auckland. The Paua sails from Lyttelton today for Gisborne with a full load of petrol. The vessel is due here at the week-end. New Port Line Ships An indication that the Port Vince, Port Auckland and Port Brisbane, three new Port Line ships, would be in service by the end of the year was given in Wellington by the local director, Mr. N. D. Binnie. who. with his wife,, returned from Australia today on the Wahine. He said the British shipyards were working full pressure replacing the tonnage sunk during the war. The three new Port Line ships would carry refrigerated cargo and so help to bring the aggregate of refrigerated shipping up to the pre-war level. The new ships were essentially the same as the Port Wellington and Port Pirie—passenger-cargo vessels with several modifications and improvements.
