New Ships For ASC
New type ships for the A
laska trade may be the out
come of a special study the
board of directors of the A
laska Steamship Company has
authorized its president, D.
E. Skir.ner, to undertake, it
was reveaied today.
“Con'inuing examination
of seatrains and car ferries in
other areas,” Skinner said,
‘‘has pointed up the advant
ages of such operations, and
with the authorization of our
board, we are now undertak
ing an immediate and thorough
investigation in order to deter
mine their feasibility for the
Alaska trade.”
Several sucuessful seatrain
and roll-on roll-off operations
are being conducted on the
Great Lakes, along the East
and Gulf Coasts and in the
Carribbean. The salient fea
ture of both types of cargo
service is that trailer vans and
3>r box cars are employed as
the cargo carriers ar.d are;
loaded aboard ship as a unit, j
rolled on and off n some
cases and lifted on and off by
means of overhead gear in
others. Both dry and refriger
ated cargo are handled with
equal facility.
Skinner pointed out that A
laska Steamship Company has
maintained close observation
of new- shipping developments
for the past several years and
the company's decision te in
tensify its studies in this field
reflects its determination to
provide Alaska with the finest
possible freight service at the
lowest rates. ‘
Since the second World War
the Alaska Line has inaugur
ated new and improved cargo
handling methods, pioneering
in the use of containers in the
fAlaska trade. A "umtized”
-service, instituted ,to South
-eastern Alaska in the spring
of 1953 has, on the basis of
the success there, been ex
tended to Southwestern A
laska, the Interior and Bering
Sea greas. Further = extension
of the company’s • container
program is now in progress.
- "Our move to fully explore
the ’possibilities; of .a new
highly-specialized type of ves
sel'forf^fe Alaska trade- is a
logical Step in the-evolution*of
oufATaslca service begun over
ftftjryeairs,” Skinner said;
There la a remote posaiouuy
