TRAFFIC<br />

The third of Ned/loyd's five 'K' vessels, Ned/loyd<br />

Kembla, was launched on 12th January by Mrs<br />

E.M . van Rhoon, wife of RIL's Manager for<br />

Japan. The ship was constructed at the Kobe<br />

Shipyard & Engine Works of Mitsubishi Heavy<br />

Industries Ltd.<br />

The name of the fifth ship in this series will<br />

be Ned/loyd Katwijk, and not 'Kampen' as<br />

previously announced.<br />

CROSSROADS?<br />

the middle of the busy Shaukiwan Road, but when<br />

larger than life - was the funnel of Tjitarum. It was<br />

something of a surprise to find the vessel apparently<br />

on a collision course. She was undergoing DMO in<br />

Taikoo Dockyard, Hong Kong, and a curving sweep<br />

of the road produced the illusion.<br />
