:GOND casualty is uncomfortably nearer a. Sealord Shipping Co. Ltd. who, only over a year ago joined the growing ranks Drth Sea container carriers operating from JK to Europe, have suspended their serto Rotterdam, having leased their vessel or Line. In container shipping circles and ng the ferry.operators, this news came as urprise since Sealord have been offering vessel around for some months, but it underline the extreme competition on the Ii Sea where rates are being cut to the bone and there is no Freight Conference re operators can argue out and ensure
economic rates. The moral of this news, so far as the haulier is concerned, is a simple one. Don't put all your eggs in the one container operator's basket and neglect more conventional traffic. With fantastically high overheads the shipping business is even more precarious than road haulage.
