QUESTION: What part does the Canned Salmon Industry play
in providing an adequate transportation system for Alaska?
ANSWER: Approximately 75% of the annual revenues of the
steamship companies serving Alaska are derived from the move
ment of Canned Salmon and of supplies for this industry. It is this
income that enables the steamship companies to maintain frequent
passenger sailings with fast, comfortable ships. These freight earn
ings also make it possible for these lines to supply adequate trans
portation for Alaskans during the winter months when operations
are not profitable.
