Cunard's cargo liner ANDANIA on new run from Glasgow to Gulf of Mexico

    The Cunard cargo liner ANDANIA (6,950 tons) built by William Hamilton and Company, Port Glasgow, begins her maiden voyage from Glasgow today and inaugurates a Cunard cargo service from the Clyde and Liverpool to ports in the Gulf of Mexico.

   She is a 17-knot ship, powered by steam turbines, and will carry 7,500 tons of cargo, including edible oil and perishable stuffs for which she has refrigerated space.   She may also be quickly converted from general cargo to grain carrying.

   The ANDANIA makes Cunard history as the first of the company’s ships designed for service in the St Lawrence Seaway and also to negotiate the Manchester Ship Canal.   To allow her to pass under the canal bridges, her two topmasts are telescopic, her radar mast is hinged, and her funnel top is removable.   The funnel is tapered and built into the superstructure, bringing a new look to the Cunard cargo fleet.

   A sister ship, the ALAUNIA, which will be joining the ANDANIA in the Autumn, is being launched next week by William Hamilton and Company.

New York dockers asked to end boycott of Egyptian ship CLEOPATRA

From Bill McKellar.

From "Glasgow Herald" 4th May 1960

DOCKERS ASKED TO END BOYCOTT

Washington, Tuesday

The State Department have privately urged the dockers unions in New York to end the boycott of the United Arab Republic ship CLEOPATRA because of repercussions against American ships.

The picketing of the CLEOPATRA began on April 13 as a protest against the blacklisting of American ships which had called at Israeli ports.

Arab unions imposed a boycott on U.S. ships last Friday in retaliation against the picketing. Within the past three days ten American ships have been diverted from Arab ports. Many cargoes for the Eastern Mediterranean have had to be given to foreign ships - Reuter
