There is another big problem which has to be solved. From Qingdao port your Corporation ships the goods mostly on transshipment vessels via Hong Kong and Singapore from where the goods arrive here in four/five months after shipment from Qingdao. A recent example is that a lot of 285 cartons were shipped for us on vessel “Yatlung” from Qingdao on 19th November, 2001 and actually the goods reached us by the end of April, 2002 which means five months after shipment was made.
