GPA ANCHORAGE FALL 2011

Perspective: Curtis J. Foltz
Need For Deepening Now

PERSPECTIVE

T he Georgia Ports Authority has gained the distinction of operating the second-busiest port in the nation, by tonnage, for containerized exports. For fiscal year 2011 (July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011), the Port of Savannah shipped more than 6.8 million tons of cargo, behind only the Port of Los Angeles and ahead of New York/New Jersey and Long Beach.
In fact, Savannah maintains a positive trade balance, with exports making up 53 percent of the GPA's total containerized cargo for fiscal year 2011. Nationally, that ratio is flipped. Imports account for 56 percent of our international trade, for a U.S. trade deficit of $44.8 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's July numbers.
The GPA handled an impressive 12.5 percent of all U.S. containerized exports in FY2011.
These numbers illustrate the continued impact the ports have on businesses in our region and the jobs they provide. But the ports of Savannah and Brunswick do more than support nearly 300,000 Peach State jobs; they offer an important window for international trade across the southeastern United States.
Savannah's positive trade balance
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

could be jeopardized, however, and the U.S. trade deficit worsened, if American exporters cannot maintain cost-efficient overseas transport.
In 2014, the Panama Canal expansion will be complete, allowing massive new "super-panamax" vessels to carry cargo from the East Coast to Asia and vice versa. The market appeal of these cargo carriers is the lowered cost to ship each individual container.
U.S. Trade representative Ambassador Ron Kirk notes that 97.6 percent of American exporters are small- and medium-sized businesses. These businesses operate on razor-thin profit margins, especially in export trade.
The deepening will provide a critical national need to improve efficiency and reduce costs in the transport of goods and commodities.
It is therefore vital for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project to move forward with federal approval and funding.
Deepening our harbor to as low as 48 feet will expedite the vessels that already call on Savannah, including 8,500-TEU and larger container ships, which will increase in number after the Panama expansion.
Deepening the Savannah River channel is not only critical to our future success as an import facility, it is vital to our ability to move American-made products to the international market. That's why we welcome Gov. Nathan Deal's pledge to include $46.7 million for harbor deepening in his FY2013 budget, bringing the state's committment to $181.1 million.
Gov. Deal's strong support -- coupled with President Obama's twin goals of job creation and expanded exports -- should serve as a catalyst for the Administration and Congress to move forward on final approval and funding needed to accomplish the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project.

COVER STORY

LaHood:
PORT DEEPENING "HAS TO HAPPEN"

U .S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood wowed local and state leaders on Nov. 15 with a ringing endorsement of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project.
LaHood pledged to convene a high-level meeting of state and federal officials in December, aimed at hammering out a way to fund the harbor deepening.
"We'll figure out how to get the federal dollars to make this project happen," LaHood said as bustling port workers handled cargo containers behind him. "It has to happen."
Joining LaHood were Georgia Governor Nathan Deal a Republican and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed a Democrat. The transportation secretary lauded the bipartisan duo for their persuasive, united effort to win increased federal investment in an infrastructure project important to the nation's economic recovery.
"It's so important that our leaders in Washington understand where America is strong, and the Savannah Port is a place where America is strong," Reed said. "It's a port where we are exporting more than we import, where on this campus almost every single day we have somewhere between 5,000 and 8,000 people working hard."
Governor Deal added that the port's economic impact and the impact of the deepening go beyond local jobs.
"The message we should all understand is that the deepening is good not just for Georgia, but it is good for South Carolina. It is good for Georgia if the Charleston harbor is deepened as well," said Deal. "The state of South Carolina and Georgia have a mutual interest in making sure that those super-post-Panamax vessels are able
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

to stop at the Savannah Port and are able to stop at the Charleston Port."
In his first visit to Savannah, LaHood spoke not only about the expansion project, but also about the Obama Administration's twin goals of improving transportation infrastructure and doubling U.S. export growth by 2015.
"The expansion of this port is a job creator," said LaHood. "It fits the president's agenda of putting people back to work." LaHood labeled the Port of Savannah an economic engine of broad benefit worthy of federal support.
"When we invest in our ports and waterways, it allows us to move goods more quickly and efficiently, spur economic growth and help make America even more competitive in the global market," LaHood said.
The Savannah Harbor Expansion Project is critical for the Port of Savannah the fastest growing and fourth largest U.S. container port to efficiently handle larger vessels, making U.S. cargo available to global markets.
State leaders welcomed the transportation secretary's support.
"I would like to thank Secretary LaHood for taking the time to visit the Port of Savannah the growing gateway for American commerce and a strong economic engine for the U.S. economy," said Deal. "With 44 percent of the U.S. population served by the Port of Savannah, it is critical that federal funding is approved for Savannah's harbor deepening project. This project one of the most important and productive civil works projects in the country will maintain and create jobs and commerce throughout the region."
GPA Board Chairman Alec L. Poitevint

pointed out that the Port of Savannah's export volume grew 12 percent in FY2011 and represented 53 percent of its overall volume.
"Export commodities translate into new jobs for our entire region," Poitevint said. "Balanced trade at the Port of Savannah will continue to drive development and commerce throughout the Southeast."
Under the Competitive Supply Chain Initiative, which is an important piece of the Obama Administration's National Export Initiative, the Departments of Commerce and Transportation are working with freight system users and stakeholders to identify the critical elements of a comprehensive, holistic U.S. freight policy. This initiative's goal in developing such a policy is to achieve the seamless and facilitated goods movement across all transportation modes throughout the nation, which is needed to boost U.S. export sales and U.S. national competitiveness.
"The GPA exported 12.5 percent of all U.S. containerized exports in fiscal year 2011, which means one out of every eight of our nation's export containers departed from Savannah," said GPA's Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. "As larger vessels continue to call on the Port of Savannah, the increased global demand for exports through our terminals necessitates the efficiency and additional capacity of a deeper harbor."

The Portof Savannah:
STRONG
ON EXPORTS

T

he Port of Savannah is now the second busiest container port for the export of American goods,

Georgia Ports Authority Executive

Director Curtis J. Foltz told a crowd of

more than 1,100 at the annual State

of the Port of Address.

At the September event, Foltz said the

U.S. Department of Commerce numbers

were an important barometer for Georgia

and its neighbors.

"The demand for export commodities

translates into economic growth for Georgia

and the Southeast," Foltz said. "Overall,

export throughput comprised 53 percent

of GPA's total containerized cargo

and grew by 12 percent."

During fiscal year 2011, (July 1, 2010

June 30, 2011) Savannah handled 6.84 million

tons of containerized export cargo, second

only to the Port of Los Angeles. Also in FY2011, Savannah handled 8.7 percent of U.S. containerized cargo volume and 12.5 percent of all U.S. containerized exports.
"Georgia's position as the number-two export port once again reaffirms the Port of Savannah's importance to this state, region and nation," said GPA's Chairman of the Board Alec L. Poitevint. "The single most critical factor for the Port of Savannah's future success, and its ability to move American-made goods to the international marketplace, is the completion of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project. The work to deepen the Savannah Harbor up to 48 feet at mean low water is precisely the type of effort that will bring comprehensive economic recovery to the United States."
Foltz also reviewed plans to deepen

Savannah's harbor. "The Savannah Harbor must be prepared for the demands of global shipping after the Panama Canal Expansion is completed," he said. "With larger vessels already calling on the Port of Savannah, it is imperative that the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project is approved and remains on schedule."
Finally, Foltz highlighted environmental initiatives throughout the port in conjunction with its capital improvement projects and port operations. In FY2011, the GPA completed its Cross Terminal Roadway, which provides direct access across the 1,200-acre terminal from the north end to the south, separates traffic between the container yards and supports functions located behind the yards. In accordance with the GPA's environmental initiative, approximately 20,000 tons of

GPA ANCHORAGE FALL 2011

crushed concrete were recycled for the new roadway base, 1,300 tons of asphalt millings were placed on-site and an estimated 2,300 tons of reclaimed asphalt were utilized in the asphalt pavement mix for the new roadway. In the first quarter the road was open, turn times decreased by at least eight minutes and traffic accidents decreased by 38 percent.
Twenty new rubber-tired gantry cranes, added to the GPA's fleet in FY2011, are another example of terminal productivity and efficiency improvements that decrease the GPA's environmental impacts. By converting from top lifts to more RTGs on terminal, the GPA is able to condense container placement and limit its terminal footprint. These RTGs not only use less terminal space, but also have variable-speed engines that reduce diesel consumption and emissions. The ultra-low-sulfur diesel used to power these RTGs is more efficient due to a fuel additive used at the Port of Savannah.
Through the GPA's crane electrification, use of refrigerated container racks, variable-speed rubber-tired gantry cranes and fuel additives, the Port of Savannah avoids the use of more than 4.6 million gallons of fuel annually.

Port of Brunswick Sees Record Year for Autos
A t the Brunswick State of the Port Address, GPA Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz announced that Colonel's Island Terminal marked its highest auto and machinery unit volume ever in FY2011 (July 1, 2010 June 30, 2011).
"The 40-percent increase in total Ro/Ro (roll-on/roll-off) units compared with the previous year allowed the GPA to surpass pre-recession levels and gain market share across the Southeast," Foltz said.
The Port of Brunswick is the third busiest U.S. port for auto imports, behind Los Angeles, Calif., and Newark, N.J. In terms of tonnage, Brunswick's annual volume for auto and machinery units increased 50.6 percent in FY2011, compared to the U.S., which increased 15.6 percent according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Auto and machinery market share at the Port of Brunswick represents 8.5 percent of the U.S. total and 13.9 percent of the U.S. East Coast volume.
"This year's increase in roll-on/roll-off units comes on top of 16 percent growth in the last fiscal year," said GPA Chairman of the Board Alec L. Poitevint. "By continuing its momentum, Brunswick has not only become the fifth largest U.S. port by tonnage for auto import-export, it has set the pace for a new era of economic expansion."
Besides marking the record Ro/Ro numbers, Foltz discussed infrastructure improvements that will support the export of dried distillers grain, which began arriving at Colonel's Island in October 2010. The GPA's board has approved the purchase of two hard-car unloaders and the construction of a conveyance system and metal structure to enclose the operation.
To accommodate the international demand for Georgia's biomass fuels, the GPA and Logistec have agreed to upgrade the East River Terminal. The GPA will invest approximately $7 million and Logistec will invest $5 million to expand operations at East River Terminal. The facility's new capacity will triple to one million tons annually and will create nearly 300 jobs in Georgia. The upgrade will include deepening Berths 1 and 2 and the Lanier Dock to 36 feet at mean low water.

Panama Canal and GPA Renew and Strengthen Alliance

Highlights Port of Savannah's Importance and Reinforces Mutual Growth and Benefits

T he Panama Canal Authority (ACP) and the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), which owns and operates the Port of Savannah, renewed their ties in July 2011, with the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU, renewable for five years, was first signed in July 2003 and aims to unify efforts to encourage mutual economic benefits.
"Considering the importance of the Port of Savannah and its Savannah Harbor Expansion Project in the logistics chain and in the `All-Water Route,' we are honored and pleased to renew our alliance with the Georgia Ports Authority and look forward to seeing their infrastructure project completed and continuing our partnership," said ACP Administrator/CEO Alberto Alemn Zubieta.
Areas of cooperation between the ACP and the GPA include, among others, information-sharing, joint marketing efforts, exchange of data, capital improvement plans, training and technology. The partnership also supports promotional efforts of the "All-Water Route," the route from Asia to the U.S. East Coast via the Panama Canal.
Georgia stands to benefit from the waterway's expansion, which is slated for completion in 2014. According to the GPA's market studies, the Canal's new locks are expected to direct ships with nearly three times the capacity to the Port of Savannah, currently the country's fourth largest and fastest-growing port. Serving a large percentage of the population in the United States, Savannah's trade is evenly balanced between exports and imports, including 12 percent of all containerized exports in the country.
"With the expansion of the Panama Canal, international trade will increasingly rely on new and larger ships," said GPA Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. "Savannah's compounded annual growth

rate over the past decade has outpaced all major U.S. ports. This would not have been possible without our close partnership with Panama. The Panama Canal leadership has done an extraordinary job bringing one of the most complex engineering projects in the world on time and on budget. This project will add to global trade efficiency and flexibility."
The GPA is working toward a large-scale effort to deepen the Savannah River from 42 feet to as much as 48 feet. The Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP) will allow deeper draft ships to call on the port.
The GPA released an Environmental Impact Study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers last November. Currently, the study is in the

Upgrades to Benefit Biofuel Export Market for Georgia's Forest Industry

T o facilitate the growing international market for wood pellets, the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) and Logistec USA, Inc. signed a partnership that will modernize the East River Terminal at the Port of Brunswick.
Logistec, a leading marine and environmental services provider, will invest $5 million to expand the biofuel export market in Georgia and increase capacity for handling a broad range of general and bulk cargo.
"We welcome this renewed partnership with Logistec and look forward to enhanced customer service at East River Terminal," said GPA's Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. "The significant expansion and installation of new infrastructure at East River Terminal will accommodate Georgia's export for biomass fuels and create jobs throughout Georgia's transportation, logistics and forest industries."
The East River Terminal will be significantly upgraded in the first phase of this expanded partnership to handle
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

up to one million tons of wood pellets and chips annually.
"We are very pleased to participate as a key supplier in the development of the biomass industry in Georgia," said President and Chief Executive Officer of Logistec Corporation Madeleine Paquin. "Our commitment to invest in a modern facility specializing in the handling of wood and peanut pellets will ensure a key competitive component in the supply chain and will make available a competitive facility to generate growing exports from Georgia for years to come."
East River Terminal in Brunswick is within close proximity of customers' manufacturing facilities in the heart of Georgia's timber land. Pellets are easily and competitively transported to the terminal and stored before Logistec loads the cargo into vessels bound for biomass power plant utility companies in the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and elsewhere within the European Union.

"There will be further investment in East River Terminal and its handling facility as the market for biomass fuels grows," said Foltz.
The project began in September 2011 and is scheduled to be completed in January 2012. It will include deepening three berths to 36 feet at mean low water and significant investment upgrading the docks and handling facility.
Logistec provides specialized cargo handling and other services to a wide variety of marine, industrial and municipal customers. The operations of Logistec, its subsidiaries, and its joint ventures are divided into two major segments: marine services and environmental services. Logistec Stevedoring Inc. works closely with its customers in the biomass industry to provide economical and efficient handling of renewable fuels in the form of wood pellets and peanut hull pellets.

URITY OFFICIALS

C ongressman Jack Kingston, Georgia General Assembly members, U.S. Attorney Edward J. Tarver, GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz and members of the Port of Savannah's Homeland Security team commemorated the 10th anniversary of 9/11 at the Port of Savannah.
"As we observe the ten year anniversary of 9/11, we should remember those who lost their lives on that infamous day, but also the others who have died and sacrificed so much on the global war on terrorism," said Congressman Jack Kingston. "In their memory and for future generations, we need to be vigilant, prepared and engaged in world affairs."
Many agencies are involved in port security, with multiple jurisdictions at U.S. ports. Local, state and federal agencies work together to protect the supply chain that supports American commerce. This multi-layer defense strategy ensures ports remain safe and secure.
"Since 9/11, extraordinary efforts have been taken by federal, state and local authorities to keep the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick safe," said Tarver. "The U.S. Department of Justice has no higher priority than keeping America safe; no aspect of our work is more important or more urgent. In fulfilling this mission, we will use every tool available and we will be guided by the rule of law."
The GPA has received approximately $12.3 million in federal port security grants and has matched those grants. These funds, as well as those invested by the GPA, have greatly increased security at the Port of Savannah since 9/11. Several key security initiatives include surveillance and detection, patrolling efforts, fencing and intrusion detection and credentialing/access control.
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

"Working in conjunction with our state, local and federal law enforcement agencies, we are aggressively and effectively disrupting and dismantling the criminal networks that attempt to smuggle drugs, weapons, people and other contraband through and around the Port of Savannah," said Brock Nicholson, special agent in charge of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Atlanta. "As the second largest container seaport on the East Coast, protecting the Port of Savannah is critical to our homeland security mission."
At the GPA's Garden City Terminal, radiation portal monitors have been installed at every outbound gate. These detection devices are operated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (USCBP).
"Prior to 9/11, there was no screening of cargo bound for the United States from foreign ports," said U.S. Customs and Border Protection Port Director Lisa Beth Brown. "Today, 100% of the containerized cargo that leaves the Port of Savannah is screened for radiation. CBP has also made use of large scale x-ray and gamma ray machines and radiation detection devices to screen cargo. Prior to 9/11, there were only 62 non-intrusive inspection machines in the U.S. CBP now has 299 large scale NII systems deployed throughout the U.S. Since 9/11, Savannah has received and utilizes approximately $17.6 million in technology improvements." The GPA has also implemented a credentialing system, requiring both a Transportation Workers' Identification Credential and a GPA credential. The GPA has also employed a team of 120 port security professionals.
"The Coast Guard is focused on strengthening and protecting the maritime

global supply chain through a risk and technology based approach by evaluating vulnerabilities and reducing threats across all potential pathways," said U.S. Coast Guard Commander Joseph B. Loring. "Under DHS, we've standardized local maritime port interoperability through the establishment of our Maritime Interagency Center of Operations (MICO) community. This includes the Watchkeeper Information Sharing System, which facilitates joint operations planning, and monitoring at individual ports and allows federal, state and local officials to plan and coordinate activity."
"While much progress has been made since 9/11 protecting our ports, we must always remain vigilant and maintain our focus," said Foltz. "The security of the international supply chain is a priority for all parties involved in commerce and homeland security."
"The events of 9/11 have brought about many changes for this nation and for the FBI," said Brian D. Lamkin, Special Agent in Charge for the FBI Atlanta Division. "As we remember and reflect on those tragic events, the FBI and its many and varied partners remain vigilant in order to prevent any future attacks on our citizens or our infrastructures. Through our Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) efforts as well as through the Georgia Information Sharing (GISAC) efforts, we feel that we are, collectively, better able to adapt to those emerging threats. The FBI is proud of the fact that, while adapting and changing as an agency, it has held intact its dedication to the rule of law and to the adherence of the principles set forth in the U.S. Constitution."

Terminal Upgrades Improve Efficiency, Reuse Construction Materials
Nearly 70,000 Tons of Concrete, Asphalt and Other Materials Will Be Reused for Container Storage Yard Reorientation

T

he Port of Savannah's Garden City Terminal modernization is nearing completion. Its terminal

upgrades will expand capacity

and recycle resources.

"Like all capital improvement projects

at the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA),

the resurfacing of our container terminal

has been guided by environmental

considerations from the outset," said GPA's

Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. "This

massive, multi-million dollar, multi-year

project has not only reused and recycled

hundreds of thousands of tons of concrete,

asphalt and other materials, but it has also

allowed Georgia to increase the capacity

and efficiency of international trade

to and from the East Coast."

The latest phase of the project is the

$14.6-million resurfacing of three container

berths that includes overlaying of the

existing pavement, constructing concrete

RTG runways, installing a new fire

protection system, storm drainage system

modifications, and yard lighting upgrades.

It is scheduled to be complete by

first quarter 2012.

During the construction of the CB 4/5/6

container yard nearly 70,000 tons of

materials will be reused and recycled,

which avoids being disposed in a landfill -

and the cost and emissions of producing

and transporting additional materials.

"It is clear the GPA is not only committed to improving efficiency for its customers, but taking the role as a good steward for our environment seriously," said GPA's Senior Director of Engineering and Facilities Maintenance Wilson Tillotson. "Terminal improvements, like this upgrade, expand operations and often create environmental benefits. As the GPA expands capacity to accommodate 6.5 million TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) at Garden City Terminal by 2020, we will continue to find ways to maximize terminal efficiencies and be good stewards of the environment."
The CB4/5/6 reconfiguration will facilitate the densification of the container storage yard and the conversion to an all-RTG (rubber-tired gantry crane) container handling layout.
"We will increase the container storage capacity of CB 4/5/6 by more than 25 percent at the completion of this project," said Tillotson. "By not increasing the total developed area, there were no additional land disturbing activities and no additional clearing or filling of wetlands. The significant capacity increase is a result of conversion to an all RTG operation."
By converting top lifts to more RTGs on terminal, the GPA condenses container placement and limits its terminal footprint. These RTGs not only use less terminal space, but also have variable-speed engines

that reduce consumption of ultra-low-sulfur diesel and emissions.
The following materials will be reused or recycled from the demolition of this phase of the project: Concrete - Approximately 17,000
tons of existing concrete rubble will be generated by this project. One-hundred percent will be recycled by crushing it, so it may be reused under new pavements, pipe beddings, backfills, and slope protection. None of this concrete will leave the terminal or be disposed of in a landfill. Asphalt Pavement Approximately 41,000 tons of existing asphalt pavement demolition will be generated by this project. One-hundred percent will be recycled by pulverizing and/or milling it by the following proportions 15 percent will be introduced into the new asphalt mixes for new pavement construction; remaining 85 percent is planned for topping unpaved areas such as storage/parking lots and perimeter security roadways. Miscellaneous Steel/Scrap Approximately 11,000 tons of railroad steel, rebar, cast-iron pipe and appurtenance demolition is expected to be generated by this project. One-hundred percent will be recycled.

Georgia-Grown Exporters

Small Business Makes A BIG Difference

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

G eorgia exported more than $10.8 billion in goods in fiscal year 2011 (July 1, 2010 June 30, 2011), giving the state a positive balance of international trade.
Forest products and poultry top the list of commodities Georgia producers ship to global customers. Amid corporate exporters contributing to the state's trade are small companies founded by Georgians. Compared to corporate retailers, these businesses export a fraction of the cargo volumes; however their impact on Georgia's economy is still significant. Easterlin Pecan and T&S Hardwoods are two such family-owned companies offering Georgiagrown products to the international marketplace.
EASTERLIN PECAN Montezuma, Georgia and Fort Valley, Georgia
China's increasing appetite for pecans is helping Easterlin Pecan Company expand into international markets. In addition to the company's largest export market, Easterline ships nuts to Canada and various countries throughout Asia and Europe.
"We ship non-shelled nuts to China," said Easterlin Pecan Company General Manager Will Easterlin. "The retailers marinade the nuts after creating a hairline crack in the shells. They sell the flavored nuts still in the hulls."
Easterlin primarily deals in Georgia-grown pecans. Growing Chinese demand has boosted these in-state purchases.
Easterlin buys nuts from several growers, handles product bagging, bundling and all aspects of shipment, including negotiating

contracts with ocean carriers. Exports are containerized and shipped through the Port of Savannah.
"Rising and decreasing of freight rates are very tangible to our international business," said Easterlin. "When rates increase, we must reflect that cost in our pricing."
The company entered the export market more than 10 years ago, with the assistance of a U.S. brokers association, connecting Easterlin with international buyers. Currently, they export to about nine different countries.
"The China factor has dramatically changed the market for pecans," said Easterlin. "While we still sell more domestically, we have positioned ourselves to be an international seller of pecans."
The Easterlin Pecan Company is a family-owned and operated business with more than 70 years of experience in the pecan industry. The business was founded by J.B. Easterlin, great-grandfather to Will Easterlin, who began his career as a farmer and produce broker.
Today, the company focuses solely on pecans, and is headed by Will's father and uncle. The family business prides itself on a high quality product and competitive pricing.
T&S HARDWOODS Milledgeville, Georgia and Sylva, North Carolina The timber industry has been one of the hardest hit by the recent economic slowdown. Previously, T&S Hardwoods employed more than 260 employees and serviced customers in 14 countries. The fall off in business caused T&S to cease

operations and close its doors in May 2009. Like the trees they harvest, T&S is resilient and made a comeback. The company reopened its Milledgeville, Ga., and Sylva, N.C., locations in the fall of 2010.
"We are back in business, with the scope of our operations focusing on harvesting local hardwood timber and sawing these native logs into rough hardwood lumber," said T&S Hardwoods President and CEO Larry Thompson. "We sell lower grade lumber green to primarily local markets, using our kilns to dry the top half of the grades for the best revenue options worldwide. We aim for the most desirable grade of lumber."
Prior to the mill closures, T&S exported six million board feet of lumber, which accounted for 35 percent its business annually. The company began exporting lumber in 1979, just six years after opening its first mill. Their products were shipped to England, Spain, China, Italy, South Africa, Egypt, Japan, Vietnam, Ireland and Germany. The lumber desired by their international customers is a higher grade and used in furniture making, stair parts, millwork, flooring and caskets.
"Our main goal is to return to previous production levels and to service similar lumber markets," said Thompson. Nearly all of T&S's exports from the Milledgeville mill are shipped through the Port of Savannah.
"When we get back to the point of focusing on our international market, having access to more trade lane options to Europe and other destinations will be important," said Thompson.

DEPUTY U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE
Marantisvisits Port of Sav
More American Jobs, Faster Economic Recovery Through Exports

T he Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) hosted the U.S. Deputy Trade Representative Demetrios Marantis in August 2011 to discuss recently approved free trade agreements that will increase exports through the Port of Savannah.
"President Obama is committed to moving forward trade agreements with Korea, Colombia, and Panama to grow our economy, create tens of thousands of jobs, and realize countless new economic opportunities for Americans in Georgia and across the United States," said Ambassador Marantis. "Savannah is clearly a place positioned to seize these new export opportunities with its strong trading relationships and ambitious vision for the future."
18

The U.S.-Korea Trade Agreement will provide American farmers, ranchers, food processors and businesses they support with improved access to the Republic of Korea's $1 trillion economy and 49 million customers. Under the agreement, nearly two-thirds of current U.S. agricultural exports will become duty free immediately and lower tariffs will benefit both U.S. suppliers and Korean consumers.
"I would like to thank Ambassador Marantis for taking the time to visit the Port of Savannah the growing gateway for American commerce and a strong economic engine for the U.S. economy," said GPA's Chairman of the Board Alec Poitevint. "As the number-one U.S. port for poultry, exporting nearly 40 percent of U.S. containerized poultry, the Port

of Savannah helps drive economic recovery through exports."
The pending trade agreements with South Korea, Panama and Columbia will support tens of thousands of jobs, will help boost U.S. exports and will support the President's balanced trade agenda. America's seaports are crucial to the success of these goals.
"The GPA exported 12.4 percent of all U.S. containerized exports in 2010, which means one out of every eight of our nation's export containers departed from Savannah," said GPA's Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. "As larger vessels continue to call on the Port of Savannah, the increased global demand for exports through our terminals necessitates the efficiency and additional capacity of a deeper harbor."

Poultry was the fastest growing export commodity from Savannah to South Korea, more than quadrupling between 2009 and 2010.

N ow that Congress has ratified the three new trade agreements, the Georgia Ports Authority stands poised to take advantage of the broader markets these pacts will provide. The Port of Savannah hosts 10 direct container ship services to South Korea, 12 to Panama and one to Colombia.
Savannah is by far the dominant South Atlantic U.S. port serving South Korea, with 62 percent of the market in 2010.
The Port of Savannah already maintains a positive balance of trade with South Korea, with exports to the country expected to hit 73,416 containers by the end of CY2011, and imports from South Korea projected at 42,333. These levels represent a terrific rebound in trade over the past two years, beating even pre-recession numbers from 2006 and 2007.
Among container exports from Savannah to South Korea, the largest single category was kaolin clay -- used in ceramics, paper coatings and cosmetics -- with 13 percent of the container market. Forest products followed, with wood pulp at 9 percent, and paper and board, including waste, at 7 percent.
However, poultry, at 5 percent, was Savannah's fastest growing trade sector with South Korea.
Meanwhile, container trade between the Port of Savannah and Colombia dipped in 2009, but rebounded in 2010 to the rate of growth marked in previous years. For calendar year 2011, trade is expected to grow by 23 percent to reach 11,808 containers.
The volume of trade between the Georgia Ports Authority and Panama is relatively small compared to South Korea. However, U.S. companies shipping through Savannah in 2010 sent roughly six times the number of containers to the Central American country (6,220) than were imported from Panama (1,023).
These strong export numbers, despite tariffs that put U.S. companies at a disadvantage, indicate a strong market for U.S. goods that could be boosted if price protections were dropped. Passage of free trade agreements with the three countries would aid penetration into the foreign markets for products important to Georgia, the Southeast and the nation.

BUILDING A NEW JOBS STRATEGY:
A talk with
Georgia Chamber of Commerce CEO
CHRIS CLARK
by K.W. Oxnard

B usiness is challenging in the best of years -- and then there's 2011, when Georgia, among other states, struggled to come back from the global recession. But the Georgia Chamber of Commerce's CEO Chris Clark wants you to know that he is on it.
"Just as no business is doing things like they did five, ten, twenty years ago," he says, "neither are we. As the economy continues to lag, we've had to restructure the whole organization."
Clark breaks it down into nuts-and-bolts terms: "In 2004 and '05, I was deputy commissioner of economic development, and the focus was, `What are the big, strategic industries for Georgia to go after?' Now we realize if the bait is good enough, we'll catch more fish." The bait is innovation, venture capital, education, all the things that attract new companies and grow the ones already here. "We've been doing that for the last nine months, coupled with a more proactive policy stance. The Chamber and the business community need to show leadership on tough issues like transportation. So we say, `Give us the hard stuff, and let's start working on it.'"
For Clark, the hard stuff begins with the Georgia Competitiveness Initiative (GCI). It's a policy study and program produced
22

by the Governor's Office and based on feedback from Chamber members around the state. "The GCI is a true public-private partnership between the Governor's office and the Chamber," Clark explains. "When [Georgia Gov. Nathan] Deal was elected, we compared lists, and we agreed our main goal was making our state more competitive. So in January he asked the Georgia Chamber if we would partner with him."
The input period ends in autumn of 2011, and in early 2012 the Chamber will release the state's economic strategy and jobs agenda to provide policy priorities for the next five years. "Though we need to wait till all the data is in," Clark says, "so far we've heard a lot about developing the workforce, improving K-12 education, creating tax incentives and improving tax policies -- all long-term goals. And let me stress that the data comes from town hall meetings and surveys; this is a grassroots initiative, not a top-down project."
How this will translate into actual laws and policy changes will depend on many factors, not least of which is political will. Yet Clark is cautiously optimistic: "It's not enough to study the economy, then let it sit on a shelf somewhere; it's up to the business community and the

Chamber to work with partners in state government to make sure it's implemented -- and that it works."
To that end, the Chamber has launched several initiatives to improve Georgia's business environment. A new international partnership between the Chamber and the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) hopes to help more Georgia companies enter the export and import market, and also bring together foreign companies in the state so they too become part of the strategy.
Clark gets excited when he introduces the next program: "Back in April we launched the Georgia Transportation Alliance with a goal to create a statewide strategy. It's yet another vehicle to push for improvements and support for the Georgia Ports Authority, rail lines, highways and Hartsfield International Airport -- all critical to business in our state. It's been well received, and it will really help Georgia businesses."
Then there's the new Small Business Council, whose focus ranges from health care to the new immigration bill and everything in between. "It shines a light on the 97 percent of Georgia businesses with fewer than 100 employees," Clark explains. "In tough economic times we
GPA ANCHORAGE FALL 2011

PROFILE

tend to look at the larger companies, but we also need to help entrepreneurs and mom-and-pop businesses grow."
Clark also recognizes that the Chamber needs a voice in Washington. "The federal level is now more important," he says. "So I hired a new vice president for federal affairs to find partners in D.C. who can help Georgia businesses."
When it comes to the ports, Clark gets it. All over the state, he hears again and again about the importance of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP). "Everyone wants to help Georgia companies export more goods and products and rebuild our transportation infrastructure," he reports. "We ask our members to rank their priorities -- and SHEP is in the top three or four in every region."
Steve Green, GPA's immediate past chairman of the board, sits on the Chamber's executive board, and is poised to become the chairman in 2013, "which gives us a unique connection to the GPA," Clark says. "We're on constant stand-by to get them everything they need, and we're in the process of getting our international initiative up and running and updating our foreign business database. By the way, [the GPA's CEO] Curtis Foltz is working on that, too."
Foltz joined Clark on a panel last summer,
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

along with Atlanta's Mayor Kasim Reed, all agreeing on the crucial need for SHEP. Clark says he can't think of anything more important to Georgia's competitiveness and future. "And you'd be hard pressed to find an elected official or business person to disagree," he stresses. "From infrastructure and transportation to logistics, SHEP far outweighs everything else -- it's that critical to our future. I love the statistics Curtis uses to show that all 159 counties in Georgia are affected by our ports. If [the port] grows and more products come in and go out, it will create ripples everywhere."
To illustrate this idea, Clark recounts a recent conversation with farmers in Albany. "They asked, `How do we do a better job moving our agricultural products into the international marketplace?' Well, among other things, we advocated for the new free trade agreement with Panama and South Korea, which will help our members tap into those markets."
And while many might expect the Georgia Chamber and the mayor of Savannah to support SHEP, Clark marvels at how many other Georgia officials agree. "The Atlanta, Gwinnett and Cobb Chambers of Commerce? Atlanta's mayor, and most mayors around the state? Everyone says the port deepening project is the most

important thing impacting their economy. That's impressive!"
Though some might balk at Clark's onerous responsibilities at the Chamber, he approaches it with the zeal of a missionary. "The most interesting and exciting thing about my job is to wake up every day with the mission to help create or save a job in the state of Georgia, both in rural communities like Hawkinsville or bigger cities like Savannah. I'm blessed to have the opportunity to help the state in so many ways."
And where does Clark go for a little R&R? He, his wife of 10 years and their 5-year-old son Christian "love doing anything outdoors. I've coached my son's soccer league and T-ball teams, and both are lots of fun. I love fly fishing and do it everywhere I can. I've also paddled about 80 percent of the Georgia coast, and we like to do anything in the water and outside. The Georgia sea islands are kind of like my children -- they're all special and unique. The wildness of Ossabaw and the history of Sapelo, those are two really special places. But I still have a couple islands left," he muses, clearly a man who sets lofty goals -- and achieves them.

PORT NEWS

Dr. Kathaleena Monds and students Mary Williams and Ouitia Malone prepare for the port tour.

Dr.. Kathaleena Monds, chairwoman of the business college at Albany State University, speaks with the GPA's Eddie Johnson as students (background) hear a presentation.

H ighlighting the career potential in the field of logistics, Georgia WorkReady's Follow the Container program shows high school and college students the real-world application of logistics training.
First to take part were 16 students from South Effingham High School and the Effingham Career Academy.
"Through this program we want students to realize that port-related logistics careers are more than the obvious crane operator/truck driver positions, although those are there as well," said Georgia WorkReady Project Leader for the Coastal Region Mark Rogan. "There is a whole industry that supports the retail supply chain that in many cases requires specialized skill sets and training."
In part, the program targets high school students considering the upcoming Logistics Pathway being introduced into coastal Georgia high schools beginning in the 2012 academic year. The Pathway is part of a larger statewide program being integrated into the public school system to

encourage students to focus on life after graduation.
Follow the Container was developed in collaboration with Rogan, Freightliner Trucks Sales Representative David Mihuta and Port City Logistics Sales and Marketing Manager Robert Dowd to introduce students to the second largest employment sector in the nation.
"The purpose of the program is two-fold, by primarily giving high school students a look into the world of logistics in and around our area," said Mihuta. "Our second objective is to help interested students focus on a particular area of logistics and design an education plan that will get them there."
Follow the Container has also proved helpful for more advanced students. In September, a group of Albany State University logistics students participated in the program.
Chairwoman of ASU College of Business Dr. Kathaleena Monds brought about a dozen students from ASU and Albany Technical College to Savannah to tour the

Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City terminal and other logistics-related sites. They heard presentations from Rail Link, Port City Logistics, Freightliners and D.J. Powers.
"We thought that participating in the Follow the Container program would be a great opportunity for our students to understand logistics in a general way and also on a global scale," Dr. Monds said. She noted that Albany State is located in an agricultural community, so it was eye-opening for students to learn about moving Georgia agricultural products to points such as Brazil and beyond. Dr. Monds said the trip has heightened interest in logistics careers.
"Our proximity to the Marine Corp Logistics Command, Darton College and Albany Technical College makes for a great location for a strong logistics presence in our region," she said. "We are committed to helping such an initiative."
The students followed the path of a hypothetical import loaded container from the dock to the warehouse. They began

their journey by touring the Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal and seeing firsthand how containerized cargo moves from the vessel, to the container yard and then out the terminal gate.
"This is an excellent program to expose the potential next generation of logistics managers and cargo movers to a dynamic industry in Georgia," said GPA Senior Director of External Affairs Robert Morris. "The logistics industry contributes more than one million jobs throughout the state, of which nearly 300,000 are tied to the GPA's business alone."

Grand Alliance Adds South China Service

West Coast South America Service Connects Georgia Exports To Costa Rica

T

he Grand Alliance consortium of shipping lines has included Savannah in its new South China

East Coast Express 2 service.

Consortium members include

Hapag-Lloyd, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK)

and Orient Overseas Container Line

(OOCL). The Grand Alliance is operating

the SCE2 service in cooperation with

partners ZIM Integrated Shipping Services

Ltd., and Hyundai Merchant Marine.

"We are pleased to welcome the new

SCE2 service to Savannah," said Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "The new business will bring up to 2,200 TEUs per loading, or about 110,000 TEUs per year, and more boxes mean more jobs for Georgia and the nation."
The SCE2 service launched on May 12 as an adjunct to the group's South China East Coast Express service, which calls on the ports of Kaohsiung, Shekou and Hong Kong.
The new service port rotation includes:

Busan, Shanghai (Yangshan), Xiamen, Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong, Yantian, Panama Canal, Manzanillo, Kingston, Savannah, Kingston, Manzanillo, Panama Canal and Pusan.
Nine vessels will run the route -- four ZIM ships, three NYK and two Hyundai -- allowing weekly service to Savannah. The ships will average about 4,800 TEUs in capacity, and the turnaround time will be 63 days for the entire route.
