Revenue Loss Of 53-Day
Shipping Strike Estimated
At $3,308,500
The interruption of Alaska
Steamship Company service due
to the 53-day Sailors Union of
the Pacific strike (May 22 through
July 14) was a very costly mat
ter. The following statistics have
been prepared concerning the ef
fect on Alaska Line operations:
Over 2550 northbound passen
gers and tourists were denied
transportation. On the basis of all
passenger reservations, it is esti
mated that the loss of revenue
from the interruption of passen
ger service was $528,000.
On a projection of last year’s
freight traffic movement during
the period from May 22 through
July 14, it can be shown that the
revenue loss due to the interrup
tion of freight service was $2,780,
500. Together this represents a
revenue loss of $3,308,500.
An estimation of wages lost to
vessel crew members and steve
doring workers on the basis of
cancelled voyages shows the sum
of $1,087,102
On the basis of average costs
per day for all kinds of ship
supplies and the estimated num
ber of days involved in the voy
ages cancelled, Alaska Steamship
Company suppliers lost sales ap
proximating $343,000.
