LASHadds

Australia and

South America... and now serves all major continents.

Barely 31/2 years after the first LASH vessel embarked on its maiden voyage, the LASH

System links the world's major continents with regularly-scheduled, express service on established trade routes.

In the summer of 1973, Pacific Far East

Line began operating LASH service between

U. S. West coast ports and Australia, New

Zealand and selected South Pacific islands; and Delta Steamship Lines inaugurated a

LASH trade route between U. S. Gulf ports and the East coast of South America with calls at Caribbean ports.

North America, Europe, Africa, Asia,

LASH and now Australia and South America. LASH vessels serve them all. Seventeen LASH ves- sels have been launched, to be followed by seven more in the next 18 months. More than 3,000 standard-size LASH barges, inter- changeable throughout the worldwide LASH

System, are in operation or ordered to serve the LASH ocean carriers. LASH has come a long way in just a few years, and its growth will continue in the coming months as new trade routes to the Middle East, Indian sub- continent and Southeast Asia are opened by

Waterman Steamship Corporation and Cen- tral Gulf Lines, Inc.
