In 1936 the ship was sold to Pacific Lighterage. The Cocos Islands Cooperative Society Ltd. employs construction workers, stevedores, and lighterage worker operations. Part of this terminal utilises Cairnryan Lighterage Wharf. On arrival "Admiral Halstead" was placed under U.S. Army charter with Pacific Lighterage as operator. It owns transhipment assets to provide lighterage support services, onshore & offshore logistics services. In 2008, Jurong Port started the Penjuru Terminal to handle lighterage and shipchandling businesses. Today's Navy lighterage pontoon is a direct descendent of his creation. The company was formed in 1922 as "The General Lighterage Co Ltd". Between 1967 and 1976 over 40 lighterage firms closed down. In 1931, she was re-sold to the Victorian Lighterage Co and was renamed "Sidney". Still, lack of lighterage kept the unloading moving slowly for the balance of the day. From 1916-1923, Gill ran a lighterage service under contract with the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
