South African Marine Joins New Venture A fresh boost to travel and tourism in South Africa should result from the formation of a new service company which will embrace ship-ping, air, general travel and a new hotel chain. The new company known as Aeromarine In-vestments, Ltd., was announced by Dr. G. S. J. Kuschke, deputy chairman of South African Marine Corp., Ltd. and chairman of the new entity. South African Marine Corp. will have 40 percent of the equity in the new venture, as-sociates of South African Marine Corp. will have 20 percent and the British and Common-wealth Group will have 40 percent. The hotel chain, representing an investment in excess of $14-million would consist of eight to ten luxury hotels. South African Marine Corp. was founded in 1947 with three Victory ships on the United States run. Now it has a fleet of more than 40 vessels operating on the trade routes between South Africa, Asia, Europe, the United King-dom, South America and the United States. The company reported net profits for the year ended June 30, 1968 of $5,273,800. The firm's American activities are directed by its subsidi-ary, South African Marine Corp.-N.Y., head-quartered at 17 Battery Place, New York City. British and Commonwealth Group is one of the world's largest shipping companies operat-ing the Union-Castle Mail Steamship Co., Ltd. and the Clan Line South Africa, Ltd. Dr. Kuschke said that activities of Aeroma-rine would include (a) air, sea and general travel, (b) airfreighting, (c) clearing and for-warding, (d) stevedoring, (e) ships chandling, hotel and institutional catering and (f) ships agency services at South African ports. Headquarters of Aeromarine will be in Jo-hannesburg. G. W. Tedder will be general manager of the company.
