<BODY> <div> Seaworthy Appoints Patrick J. McAllister ment, the Atlantic and Pacific, operate from both U.S. coasts. One route, with six vessels, con- nects the U.S. East Coast to the Caribbean, Central America, and ports on the west coast of South America. From U.S. West Coast ports, another fleet of six vessels sails around South America and to the west coast of South Amer- ica. The last trade route, from Eastern U.S. ports to Venezuela, now operates with a single LASH (lighter aboard ship) vessel that would not be sold by Prudential. Prudential's revenues from the South American Services are about $125 million annually. Delta serves the east coast of South America, the west coast of Africa, and certain ports in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. Delta's annual revenues are ap- proximately $80 million. Prudential Lines will continue to administer its Mediterranean and Mideast LASH service from its present offices at One World Trade Center. Vessels covered by the tenta- tive agreement are the Santa Fleet of six L-Class vessels, two Jet-Class vessels, four M-Class vessels, and two chartered liners, the Santa Ana and the Santa Rita.

Prudential Agrees To Sell South American Shipping Operations A tentative agreement to sell all of its South American ship- ping operations for about $75 million was announced by Pru- dential Lines, Inc., a U.S.-flag ocean carrier.
