[Docket MSP-004]


Alaska Cargo Transport, Inc.; Application Pursuant to Section 656 
of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as Amended (Act)

    Alaska Cargo Transport, Inc. (Alaska Cargo), by application 
received October 31, 1996, and supplemented November 7, 1996, applied 
under Section 651, Subtitle B, of the Act for participation in the 
Maritime Security Program (MSP). In support of its application Alaska 
Cargo submitted information pertaining to its level of service as 
required by section 656 of the Act. Applicants who wish to receive MSP 
payments must describe their level of service as provided for in 
section 656. Pursuant to section 656 of the Act, the Maritime 
Administration must determine Alaska Cargo's level of noncontiguous 
domestic trade service should it become party to an MSP operating 
agreement.
    In support of its request, Alaska Cargo described its level of 
noncontiguous domestic trade service to Alaska, including vessels, 
capacities and itineraries for the 12-month period ending July 1, 1992 
in Exhibit 1. The voyages listed under ``Voy #'' beginning with the 
number ``9'' are voyages whereby Alaska Cargo provided service under a 
space charter arrangement with Samson Tug & Barge. The voyages 
beginning with an ``A'' or a ``C'' are with vessels owned or chartered 
by Alaska Cargo.
    Alaska Cargo described its level of noncontiguous domestic trade 
service to Hawaii, including vessels, capacities and itineraries for 
the 12-month period ending August 9, 1995 in Exhibit 2.
