Date Posted: 9/11/07 6:18am Hi All. This in the news today. The Maritime Union of New Zealand has welcomed the governments draft coastal shipping strategy which aims to have at least 30% of all inter regional freight carried by coastal shipping by 2040. One thing they will have to set up a sea school as the blokes who now man, the inter Island ferries, I can only think of one the cement carrier Golden Bay would be to old, by then with no oil they would have to learn sail What puzzles me is, when I was on the coast in the 50s and 60s, ALL coastal cargoes were carried by Kiwi manned ships, No overseas ships were allowed to load and carry any freight between NZ ports. Looks like they went backwards to go forward. Cheers Des [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
