JAPANESE SHIP
WITHDRAWN FROM N.Z. TRADE.
[Per Press Association.]
AUCKLAND, May 18.
Advice has been received in Auckland from Messrs Yamashita and Company (London), Limited, which states that the head office, at Kobe, of the Yamashita Kisen Kaisha Service has withdrawn the motor-ship Kozan Maru from the Japan-New Zealand trade.
The Kozan Maru will be replaced by the steamer Shanghai Maru, which will maintain the company’s service with the steamer Naniwa Maru.
Although no intimation has been given, it is considered possible that the Kozan Maru, a comparatively new ship, capable of about 15 knots, has been absorbed by Japan’s urgent need for ships to feed her communications in China.
