Harbour Reported To Be Driving Trade To Hongkong
From GORDON HUNG
Singapore, Sopt. 7.
Shipping companies here are complaining that slow work and high labour cost in the harbour area are driving away trans-shipment trade to Hongkong.
They said that ships from the west coast of America and the Pacific with merchandise from Cambodia, Vietnám, Siam and Borneo preferred to discharge their cargoes in Hongkong now instead of Singapore,
In Hongkong, wharves work round the clock, whereas the Singapore Harbour Board works on a shift system.
Shippers here claim that there is an interruption of work between change of shifts, causing loss of time and money to shipping co- panics.
Loading and unloading W13 quicker in Hongkong than in Singapore, they said.
Useless
A Chinese shipping executive said it was true that part of the work in Singapore harbour was mechanisod, but it was "useless to have mechanisation if the Inochines were not manned."*
He said that some ships that used to come to Singa- pore were already beginning to trans-ship goods at Hong- kong.
Ships coming from European ports via the Straits of Malac- ca, the conventional route from the West, sill preferred to trans-ship goods at Singapore.
But Hongkong, he said, was keenly bidding for this trade,
