AMPAC To Build Four

Container Feeder Ships

At Cost Of $92 Million

American Pacific Container

Line, Inc. (AMPAC), 501 Army

Street, Pier 80, San Francisco,

Calif., has applied for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of four container feeder vessels.

Each of the vessels will be 496 feet in length, 75 feet abeam, and have a container capacity of 806

TEUS (20-foot equivalent units).

AMPAC plans to use them for operation on the Pacific Coast, encompassing service to and from ports in the United States, Can- ada and Mexico. The four ships will replace three older U.S.-flag vessels and two to four foreign- flag vessels contemplated to be used in this service by AMPAC and Canadian Intracoastal Con- tainer Line, Inc.

AMPAC proposes to handle its

Pacific Coast feeder service through a proprietary agency known as Pacific Coastal Steam- ship Company, which will be con- trolled, but not wholly owned, by

AMPAC. The operators will have offices in Seattle, Wash., and Los

Angeles, Calif.

A shipbuilder for the four ves- sels has not yet been determined.

The estimated cost is $23 million per ship.
