TAIWANESE FREIGHTER SHIPMENT OF GRAVEL REJECTED BY CHINA.
KINMEN, July 2 Asia Pulse - The direct "mini three links" suffered a setback earlier this week when mainland China banned a Taiwan freighter from shipping gravel directly from a mainland port to Taiwan via Kinmen.
The 777-ton Kaohsiung-based cargo ship "Ho Peng No. 1" was hired by a local company to transport 300 tons of gravel from mainland China's Weitou Port in Fujian province to the southern Taiwan port of Kaohsiung.
It was the first Taiwan-registered freighter approved by the Republic of China government to sail directly across the Taiwan Strait to mainland China via Kinmen since the direct "mini three links" was launched early this year.
The "Ho Peng No. 1" sailed from Kinmen's Liaolo Port Tuesday noon and reached waters off Weitou Port about two hours later. Mainland China's public security authorities, however, blocked the ship from entering the port, saying that exporting sundry goods was not permitted from the port.
The "Ho Peng" crew then moored the vessel off Weitou Port. Over the past two days, the ship owner has negotiated with mainland authorities by phone, but to no avail. The freighter finally gave up and sailed back to Kinmen Friday morning.
Observers have speculated that mainland China's entry ban on the gravel ship was prompted by Taiwan's premature announcement of the event for alleged publicity purposes.
Kinmen County Government officials said if that were true, the prospects for the Taiwan-initiated "mini three links" would be gloomy.
