Alaska Shipping Concern Extends Its
Tug-and-Barge Service to Mississippi;
Seen a£ Advance for Merchant Marine
By LOUIS R. HUBER <
SEATTLE — “Alaska barge
a-comin’!” may soon replace the
time honored cry of “Steamboat
’round the bend!”
An Alaska shipping concern,
reversing frontier tradition by
coming back to “pioneer” the
homeland, has invaded the Missis
sippi Valley.
The firm is Alaska Freight
Lines, Inc., which started in Fair
banks, Alaska, in 1944 as a truck
ing outfit. After running up and
down the “Alcan” highway for
several years it sought a more
economical route and hit upon the
use of towboats and barges.
It has combined trucks and
barges, highway and ocean, in its
Alaska service by hauling the
truck trailers from here to Val
dez and Seward, where the trail
ers are hooked on to tractors
(trucks) and hauled up Alaskan
highways to Anchorage and Fair
banks.
The Mississippi venture is con
sidered a logical extension of
towboat-and-barge economy (no
trucks or trailers involved in this).
And while carrying on the 5,000
mile service from the Mississippi
Valley to central Alaska, the firm
hopes to expand still more.
“We think this is much more
than just a ‘new wrinkle’ in trans
portation,” says Eugene W. Hund
ley, executive vice - president of
Alaska Freight Lines. “We expect
towboats and barges through their
greater flexibility and economy to
revive the waning American mer
chant marine.”
Hundley is a former steamship
man, having served for years as
an official of Alaska Transporta
tion Company. President of the
“amphibious” company is Alfred
Ghezzi, Jr., its founder.
The towboat-and-barge method
>
has great economy and flexibility,
Hundley pointed out.
“Our towboats lie idle in port
less than ten per cent of the time,”
he says. “Steamships may spend
as much as 75 per cent of their
time tied up at docks.” *
The towboats deliver their
barges to destinations and then
leave almost immediately on the
return journey with a barge head
ed the other way.
Each towboat has a crew of 14.
The barges are not manned, but
they are equipped with diesel
driven electric generators for
heating or refrigerating the truck
trailers. Temperatures in the lat
ter can be maintained at any
value, the shipper desires, from
five below to 65 degrees above
zero. The barge holds also are re
frigerated.
The Alaska Freight towboats
pull the barges only as far as
New Orleans. There they are in
tegrated with the large river
tows hauled by companies long
esablished on the inland water
ways. '
Speed of the towboat-and-barge
teams from here to New Orleans
averages 9.5 knots an hour.
700 Men Working On Ketchikan
Pulp Mill Which Will Start

BELLINGHAM, Wash., UP) —
