Think about it, folks. Talk

we will ignore the whole thing,
stick our heads in the sand so
as not to see what is becoming
increasingly evident about our
situation, or try to do something
for ourselves.

small snow removal operations.
A very interesting outfit and

"UNITIZED CARGO" IS ALASKA STEAMSHIP COMPANY'S
NEW DEVELOPMENT IN IMPROVED FREIGHT HANDLING
1. LOADING CARGO CONTAINERS at Pier 42 in Seattle shorn one method of "unitizing"
cargo in Alaska Steamship Company's new operation. Containers are constructed of corrugated
iron and wood and have capacity of 144 cubic feet. Practicability of containers, which were
designed by company engineers, has been proven by limited usage during past three years.
2. CARGO UNITS ARE MOVED by fork lift trucks to permit faster handling. Here a lift
truck stacks pallet cribs for loading aboard ship. Cribs are standard pallets with demountable
sides which hold loose articles securely and also permit stacking. Flat pallets are used for
unitizing cargo of uniform size and shape.
3. CARGO CONTAINER SWINGS ABOARD into hold of Alaska Line's MV SU5ITNA, first
ship in the company fleet to be converted to fully mechanised operation. Unitized cargo service
is limited at present to vessel's bi-weekly sailings to Southeastern Alaska. Additional containers
are being built for purpose of extending operation to other areas when possible. MV SUSITNA
yras selected for early experiments which proved effectiveness of new program and set potter*
for future development. y
4. CONCRETE FLOOR HAS BEEN POURED in hold of MV SUSITNA lo provide for easy
movement of fork lift truchf. Similar paving jobs are planned for seven other vessels of Alaska
Line fleet. Containers and pallet units are stowed solid throughout holds of ship for efficient
utilization of space. Unitized cargo plan is aimed at offsetting steadily rising operating costs.
