Ship Cargoes to be Housed While in Transit A large matshed was nearing completion on The Bund foreshore, near the foot of Peking Road, yesterday. It is to be a transit shed for Messrs. Jardine. Matheson & Company, whose ships are now berthing at the former City Government Ferry Pontoon and Floating Restaurant.
It was pointed out yesterday that the Council gave consent only for a temporary structure on the foreshore lawn. The vessels of the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company at present are unable to use their wharves in the Eastern district on a normal basis. The berthing space at the Ferry Pontoon is the property of the Company.
