Vessels doing Hong Kong-Australia back in 1981

Hi there,

Is there anyone here who would know about ships sailing from Hong Kong to Australia in the second half of 1981?

I was told that most vessels used to go to Western Australia (especially Fremantle), but were there others going to other territories (Darwin, Brisbane and so on) ? and which ones, which shipping lines or what kind of vessels then?

Waiting for your replies,

Cheers,

Michael

Hi William,

Thanks for all those names. It's very instructive. I'll check info on all those boats. Hopefully, I might find schedules on the SCMP online archives soon.
