• A conference for those concerned with container and roll-on/roll-oft handling methods is being organized by the International Cargo Handling Co-ordinating Association in London on November 13.
The Association hopes that solutions may be found to a number of outstanding problems connected with unitized cargo systems. Mr C. W. G. Wilson, director of the Institute of Freight Forwarders will outline the problems in general, and specific deep-sea and short-sea aspects will be dealt with by Mr R. E. W. Butcher, operations director of Atlantic Container Lines, and Mr I. M. Churcher, general manager, North Sea Ferries.
The shipping manager, Tubes Division, British Steel Corporation, Mr R. A. L. Barr will speak on problems of handling steel products; the shipping manager of the Fibres Division of ICI, Mr A. R. Hutchinson will speak on "units within units".
The problems of documentation will be considered by Mr K. H. Locke, export office manager, Associated Biscuits Ltd.
The conference will be opened by Lord Hayter, chairman of the Economic Development Committee for the Movement of Exports.
Ferries number
• As readers will have realized, last week's CM carried an incorrect cover-line, describing that issue as "Ferries and Continental Operating Number".
We apologize for any inconvenience this production error may have caused. The conference will be held at the Royal Commonwealth Society's Conference Hall, 16/20 Craven Street, London, WC2, beginning at 9.45am, and will end at 5prn. Conference brochures may be obtained from A. J. V. Merritt, Secretary, IC HCA (UK), PO Box 1, Yarm, Yorkshire.
