UNSUBSIDISED VESSELS ORDERED IN UNITED STATES. The Sun Shipbuilding and Drydoek Company, Chester (Pa.), has received orders for the construction, without the aid of Government funds, of two vessels for Seatrain Lines, Inc. They are intended for a new weekly service between New York and Texas City, and will be of similar design to the Seatrain New York and Seatrain Havana, of 8,061 tons gross, but slightly larger, having a carrying capacity of 100 standard cars, or five more than the other two vessels. The Merchant Marine Act provides for financing tonnage for domestic service, bub these owners have preferred to undertake this project without becoming involved with United States Maritime Commission control. The two vessels, which are to be completed in about 12 months," will be the first large ships to he built unaided for United States domestic service since the lato ’twenties. The Seatrain New York and Seatrain Havana were built in 1932 by the Sun Company with the aid of a Shipping Board loan, and the third vessel of the fleet, the Seatrain New Orleans, was built by Swan, Hunter, and Wigham Richardson Limited, in 1928.
