From the Editor
It seemed no time at all.
We waved goodbye to the
crew of Straat Holla nd from
Kai T ak (page 194), and as
we were looking at the
pictures of her delivery to
the Company (opposite), the
new ship sailed in to Hong
Kong. She really does look
different from her predecessors,
with four holds forwa rd
of the bridge and the
big 20-ton crane amidships.
Next month we shall be
showing some of the exciting
new developments inside her
hull. Meanwhile, we wish
Captain Beynon and everyone
on boa rd , a successful
maiden voyage in the Far
East- Africa -South America
Service (ASAS).
