PASSENGER VESSELS SUPPLY VESSELS FERRIES Deeper Savannah River Opens Inland Areas To Coastal Barging A shipment of newsprint from Augusta, Ga., arrived in Miami, Fla., on December 15, the first sub-stantial cargo to move via the Savannah River from eastern Geor-gia to an Atlantic port, according to the Water Transport Associa-tion. The newsprint was carried by barges of the S.C. Loveland Co., from the Cox Paper Co., at Au-gusta. Regular shipments of newsprint, amounting to 1,000 tons each, will be carried by the Loveland Com-pany on the new route. The line is assigning a regular hopper barge to the movement. Prior to opening of the new Savannah River Channel, only shallow draft vessels could navi-gate the waterway. Completion of the nine-foot channel enables ship-pers in North and South Carolina as well as Georgia to move consid-erable cargo by the river route to destinations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, according to the asso-ciation.

A subsidy will be paid by the Department of Interior on the construction of the ships under its fishing-vessel program. The Mari-time Administration represents the Department of Interior in this pro-gram.
