Development of Durban Durban ■ has the finest dry dock in the Southern Hemisphere, according to Senator James Moran, chairman of the Dublin Port and Docks Board and chairman of the British and Irish Steam Packet Company. Senator Moran, who has made a round of inspection of Durban Harbour, expressed the opinion that the harbour development work now in hand would revolutionise the port. He was particularly impressed by the construction of “T” shaped jetties and the plans which are being formulated for draining the swamps at the head of the bay and building modern wharves where to-day there is nothing but a wilderness of mangroves and mud. Australian Trader Sold At one time a regular trader to Australia, the twin-serew refrigerated steamer Martand, owned by Thomas and John Brickiebank Ltd., of Liverpool, has been sold to foreign buyers. A vessel of 8,443 tons gross, she was built in 1912 by Workman, Clark, and Co.. Belfast. As the Hawke's Bay she was a unit of the Tyser Line, which in 1914 amalgamated with several other British lines to form the Commonwealth and Dominion Line, now known as the Port Line. The ship was renamed the Port Napier, and then was a regular trader to Australia for many years until disposed of to the Brocklebank Line.
