Rice, supplied by the Siamese (Thai) government, is unloaded onto DUKW amphibians at Port Swettenham in Selangor, Malaya.

View from aboard a transport ship as a cargo net full of rice sacks is hoisted from the hold and swung over the side to a (waiting and unseen) DUKW amphibious truck ('Duck'). Looking down into the hold. Looking over the side the sacks are lowered towards a DUKW. Line of DUKWs entering the water. DUKWs approach camera up a slipway.

Notes

Under the terms of the British-Thai peace treaty concluded in January 1946, the Thai government was obliged to provide 1,500,000 tons of rice, of which this delivery forms part.

Neither the ship, nor the DUKW unit is named, but the latter is probably Royal Army Service Corps.

For film of rice being delivered by Sunderland flying boat to Kuantan, see related items.
