Orient Line To
Pacific Service
THE chairman of the Orient Line, recently reporting on the year’s operations, indicated that the frequency of the trans-Pacific service will soon be increased.
“A satisfactory fact,” said the chairman, “is that our dollar revenue already exceeds our dollar expenditure by more than we had dared to hope when we decided to try our fortunes in the Pacific.”
He added that results to date
have encouraged the company to institute six voyages a year in each direction.
It had been demonstrated that “many passengers are prepared to wait quite a long time for a ship, rather than travel by air.”
Orient instituted the service in January, 1954. (Return of US Matson Liners: Page 136)
