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.
