Alaska SS Co.
Proposed Build
Two Trainships
SEATTLE, UPi — Alaska Steam
ship Co. filed a proposal in Wash
ington, D.C., yesterday to build
two big, fast roll-on roll-off train
ships for the Alaska trade.
The proposal was outlined in
an application for federal mort
gage insurance filed with the Fed
eral Martitime Administration by
Alaska Steam’s subsidiary Alaska
Trainships, Inc.
The ships will operate between
Seattle and the Alaska railbelt,
the federal application said, and
each will be capable of trans
porting 110 freight cars and 40
truck-trailers or any combination
of the two.
Each also will have a tanker
capacity of 12,000 barrels, in ad
dition to ship’s bunkers.
With a length of 580 feet and
a deadweight cargo capacity of
8,400 tons, the new trainships
will be bigger than any vessels
now in the Alaska Line’s fleet.
They will have twin screws and
steam-geared turbines and a trial
speed of 18.8 knots.
Company president D.E. Skin
ner has predicted that no services
could be set up before the first
_ part of 1957.
Purchase of Ames Terminal by
the Port of Seattle last February
was based on belief the Alaska
seatrains will operate out of a
base there.
Tuesday’s announcement said:
“The design of the new ships
was developed after long study
and collaboration between the
naval architects and the operat
ing officials of Alaska Steam
ship Co. They incorporate the
latest technical, engineering and
navigational improvements and
reflect Alaska Steam’s 60 years’
experience in servicing this de
fense-vital trade.
Arlene Hawk, who has been
visiting friends in Nome made
while attending school here, re

parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hawk,
are stationed with CAA.
