Marine Picket Line Halts Beagle Dock Cargo in Alaska
The North Sea sailed south from Ketchikan unable to discharge cargo at Beagle Packing dock due to a marine picket line by the Alaska Purse Seiners Union. Sailors refused cargo handling without Seattle headquarters directives, which had not arrived, prompting a southbound voyage. Southbound cargo aside from refinery items moved via the public dock with no interference. Denali loaded cannery gear from the public dock Sunday. The picketing stems from Southeast Alaska canneries’ refusal to agree to remove certain fish traps.
