§ Mr. SwinglerImmediately the decision to call off the seamen's strike was known on 29th June, the National Ports Council issued a statement warning exporters not to dispatch goods to ports without first making sure of shipping space. The ports likely to be affected were advised to set up local liaison committees. The leading shipping and transport organisations agreed to cooperate to make these measures effective. No serious port congestion has so far been reported.
