Schnitzer Subsidiaries

File For Tankers

Two maritime firms—Pacific Shipping, Inc., and American Shipping, Inc., both of Portland,

Ore., have filed for construction and operating subsidies with the Maritime Administration for two 87,000-deadweight ton tankers.

The estimated cost of each vessel is $28.4 mil- lion, with the subsidy on each amounting to 41 percent or $11.6 million, according to the applica- tion. Both firms are wholly owned subsidiaries of

Schnitzer Steel Products Co.

According to the filing, neither company now owns or operates any ships. However, affiliated companies under Schnitzer Co. operate 14 bulk- carriers and two tankers under Liberian flag, and one oceangoing tug under Panamian flag. In addi- tion, three foreign-flag bulk carriers are now un- der construction.

Pacific Shipping said that the ownership of the foreign-flag vessels was "no bar to subsidy" be- cause the ships involved "negligible competitive impact in essential U.S.-flag service." The applica- tion also asked for a waiver on additional foreign vessels which may be acquired by foreign-flag affiliates.
