Seatrain Lines To Lease Brooklyn Naval Shipyard? Will Build Large Ships Seatrain Lines, Inc. is planning to enter the shipbuilding business. According to announce-ments made recently in New York and Wash-ington, D.C., 45 percent of the defunct Brook-lyn Naval Shipyard will be leased by New York City to Seatrain Lines. This part of the shipyard includes the two largest shops, four drydocks and several piers. Howard M. Pack, Seatrain's president, said that his firm is in the large-ship business and that the Navy yard facilities are suited for building tankers up to 200,000 dwt. Emphasiz-ing this thought, Mr. Pack said that the firm has intentions of building two large ships immedi-ately. He said that Seatrain would begin a de-velopment and building program that could total $41-million during its first 18 months of operations. Seatrain plans to invest $15-million in the shipyard. This would include $9-million for facilities and $6-million for working capital. The company will receive a federal loan from the Economic Development Administration to help defray initial start-up costs. In addition, EDA will guarantee 90 percent of the $6-mil-lion loan the company will take to provide working capital. Under the arrangement worked out between New York City and the government, the city will buy the entire naval shipyard complex. In turn, the city will lease the facilities in full to the Commerce Labor Industry Corporation of Kings County. The latter organization will lease part of the facilities to Seatrain Lines. Seatrain Lines is a worldwide operator of more than 50 containerships, oil and grain tankers, and multi-purpose military cargo ves-sels. The company owns the 115,000-dwt tank-er Manhattan, the largest commerical Ameri-can-flag ship.
