The new Setenave Shipyard now under construction in Setubal, Portu- gal, has recently received the first order for the building of a 313,000- dwt turbine tanker for SOPONATA — Sociedade Portuguesa de Navios

Tanques Lda. Delivery is scheduled for the last quarter of 1976.

In addition, an order for the con- struction of a forebody was received from the Eriksberg Yard in Gote- borg, Sweden. This forebody, with a length of about 820 feet, is also intended for a 313,000-ton tanker and will be delivered during 1975.

Pacific Far East Line Introduces

LASH Cargo Service To South Pacific

Pacific Far East Line, Inc. has announced the introduction of the revolutionary LASH cargo service into the South Pacific. The first sailing was 'the maiden voyage of the LASH vessel S/S Philippine

Bear from Tacoma on April 1. The

LASH vessel S/S China Bear will alternate sailings with the S/S

Philippine 'Bear, commencing May 8 from Tacoma, with both ships then providing LASH service ap- proximately every three weeks.

Leo C. Ross, president of Pacific

Far East Line, said: "Introduction of LASH ships in the South Pacific to replace our Mariner vessels is an expression of our confidence in the growth of this area and the expansion of trade between the

United States and the South Paci- fic. Our LA'SH vessels are ideally suited for this trade."

Each ship has a capacity of 50 barges and 550 standard contain- ers, including outlets for 180 refrig- erated containers. It provides more secure cargo protection and greater cargo handling efficiency. There is greater insurance of on-time ar- rivals and departures under the

LASH operation.

Of particular advantage to South

Pacific shippers, Lash provides for the handling of bulk and bulk-type commodities to and from Australia and other South Pacific ports which normally could not be handled by conventional vessels or container- ships. LASH ships also have sub- stantially increased capacities for refrigerated cargo.

Pacific Far East Line presently operates five additional new LASH ships in the West Coast/Orient service. thcGPOSbygroup
