ABC news - Live cattle exports out of Townsville - Wellard two mentions

Any news can be good news, they say.

Two mentions for Wellard in today's ABC news article:

- The numbers were made up of 32 separate ship visits, including a consignment of 19,000 feeder steers and heifers to Indonesia in August (2018) aboard Wellard's MV Ocean Drover.

- Four separate consignments of cattle are planned out of Townsville in the next fortnight, with Wellard's Ocean Ute the first, arriving early next week.

Note the commentary on the G Class ships, which hold about 4,000 head of cattle, were the most common vessels visiting the port during the past six months.  

Shearer and Drover are both 20,000 head cattle capacity whereas Swagman is 7,000 and Ute 6,000.  May suggest which vessels have a higher probability of being chartered in this trade lane and in current climate.
