WHY IT PAYS TO USE ALASKA
LINE UNITIZED CARGO SERVICE
Th* Alaska Lin* furnishes cargo units like this to
supplier, who loads and seals them at his own
loading platform. Contents remain sealed until unit
reaches consignee.
Staled units are handled by fork trucks both on the
dock and aboard ship. Time saved on loading and
unloading means much faster delivery.
Consignee receives sealed unit at destination. Con.
tents arrive in first class condition and unit is on.
sealed and unloaded by his personnel.
"Since we started using Alaska Steamship Company’s
Unitized Cargo containers, our losses due to
pilferage and breakage have been almost completely
eliminated,” says Mr. Bennett.
“Our shipments arrive complete; thereby reducing
to a minimum the cost of checking, and
making claims almost obsolete.”
Try Unitized Cargo for YOUR next quantity shipment.
There's no extra charge. Just instruct your supplier to
ship via ALASKA LINE UNITIZED CARGO SERVICE.
