Consortium To Offer New Container Service Between Canada And Europe Three major shipowners — Canadian Pa- cific, Compagnie Maritime Beige S.A., and the C.Y. Tung Group's interests including Furness Withy — have announced that CP Ships, Dart, and Manchester Liners have agreed to coordinate on an equal basis the container services they now operate between Canada, the U.K. and Continental Europe. The new coordinated service will employ four cellular container vessels, each of about 1,500-TEU capacity and will use Montreal's Racine Terminal as its Canadian handling facility. The ships will be the largest cellu- lar container vessels to call regularly at the Port of Montreal. There will be several ports of call in Continental Europe and the United Kingdom. CP Ships, Dart, and Manchester Liners will each own and operate one vessel, with the fourth to be provided jointly. As part of the arrangement, CP Ships will acquire the 1,500-TEU vessel Dart Atlantic. Each of the lines will continue to market under its own name and will be responsible for the handling of the traffic it generates. The capacity of each vessel will be shared by the lines to take full advantage of the econ- omies of the large ships. "This new arrangement will enable us to provide a more competitive and cost-effective Western Europe-Canada container service," said a spokesman for the lines. The coordi- nated service is expected to be fully opera- tional by late summer of 1981. CP Ships and Manchester Liners currently provide a weekly container service to and from the Port of Montreal. The existing Dart container service oper- ating between Europe and the Port of Hali- fax will be discontinued. Dart's new service to the Port of Montreal will be provided by Dart Canada, a new company established for this purpose. Richard Caesar Named Marketing Vice President For Gleason Reel Richard J.
