GPA ANCHORAGE SUMMER 2013

Perspective: Curtis J. Foltz
Savannah's All The Buzz

PERSPECTIVE

G eorgia's ports provide more efficient service on-terminal, connecting cargo to a superior road and rail network that helps customers save money and reach markets faster. That's the message shared by an array of clients at the GPA, companies moving everything from produce to cars. For instance, the Port of Savannah now handles blueberry imports from Chile, shipments that keep fresh berries in stores even after the growing season has ended in the U.S. Why Savannah? Alan Abe, East Coast general manager at Giumarra International Berry put it this way, "Saving money going north and west is the reason we are here. The Port of Savannah has a streamlined flow which is very fast and efficient, and it's only five minutes from I-95. Also, the GPA gives us a high level of customer service." More companies are discovering Georgia's greater efficiencies. In just the last six months, we've heard from the following: Don Schoenl, Nordic Cold Storage CEO: "Our facility is located at I-95 and Jimmy DeLoach Parkway, osix miles from the Port of Savannah, and provides our customers convenient access to the port and interstate highways." Travis Torre, logistics director for medical

supplier Dukal: "Our new central distribution center in Savannah will provide closer proximity to our customers at reduced container rates and distribution costs."
Arnold Kamler, CEO of Kent Bicycles: "We have been warehousing solely in Los Angeles and were looking for a strategic location for our second distribution point, and Savannah worked out with the best metrics."
Larry Strug, U.S. transportation manager for Subaru, said the carmaker chose Brunswick as its gateway into the Southeast because of the services available there: "We accessorize our vehicles and put certain options on them at ports. We think it gives us an advantage in the marketplace for customers to be able to somewhat customize their vehicles."
Larry Monaghan, senior VP for appliance maker Haier: "(Our) projected growth pattern coincides with the already approved work on deepening the Savannah port and the opening of the new Panama Canal. Once both of these major projects are completed, we believe that Savannah will become the destination port for distribution into the Eastern U.S."
Mark Ferzacca, assistant VP of sales for Matson Logistics: "Our new operation expands on our ability to move retail goods in through the Port of Savannah. More companies are using East Coast distribution centers to have their product closer to a rapidly growing regional market."
You can't buy testimonials like these. Many organizations talk about commitment to customer service. But at GPA, our superior infrastructure, practices and people make that commitment a reality every day.

PORT NEWS

F

our massive new ship-to-shore cranes have arrived at Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City

Terminal, bringing the total

number of electric-powered container

cranes to 25 the most of any single

terminal in the U.S.

"These new super-post Panamax cranes

further enhance the cargo handling

efficiency at the fourth-busiest container

terminal in the nation," said GPA Executive

Director Curtis Foltz. "Combined with the

largest single container terminal in North

America and two Class I railroads on site,

these cranes will make the customer

experience even smoother."

Designed by Konecranes of Finland

and assembled in Nantong, China, these

enormous cranes can reach across vessels

22 containers wide and lift cargo weighing up to 65 long tons to a height of 136 feet above the dock. Each crane weighs 1,388 tons and measures 433 feet wide and 185 feet tall.
"Like our other cranes, these machines will generate their own power for 18 minutes out of every hour of operation by capturing energy while lowering containers," Foltz said.
Of the GPA's current fleet of cranes, nine are post-Panamax (accommodating the largest vessels capable of transiting the Panama Canal) and 16 are super post-Panamax (for vessels too large to transit Panama). The cranes operate over a dock featuring 9,700 feet of contiguous berth space.
The arrival of the new super post-Panamax cranes fulfills an order the GPA placed with Konecranes in 2011. The crane purchase, along with the planned Savannah Harbor deepening, anticipates a move in the world fleet toward larger ships.
Port officials said the improvements to the Port of Savannah's crane fleet demonstrate the GPA's commitment to expand capacity, provide more opportunities for growth and greater flexibility to meet customer needs.
"Savannah leads the Southeast in containerized cargo," said GPA Board Chairman Robert Jepson. "These improvements to our landside infrastructure will complement the planned harbor deepening to ensure Savannah's premier status in moving U.S. exports to the global marketplace."

SUPER POST-PANAMAX SHIP-TO-SHORE CRANE FACTS
GPA ordered the four new super post-Panamax cranes in 2011.
Designed by Konecranes of Finland. Built in Nantong, China.

T

he K Line vessel California Highway set sail for Russia and Ukraine May 2, carrying the first

Toyota Venzas exported through

the Port of Brunswick, Ga.

"The export of American-built Venzas

to Russia and Ukraine further solidifies

Toyota's commitment to establishing its

U.S. manufacturing operations as a key

supplier of vehicles for global markets,"

said Corinne Akahoshi, National Manager

of Marine Logistics Operations at Toyota

Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "We are proud to

partner with the Georgia Ports Authority

and all other parties involved, and are

grateful for their support of this initiative."

The new Toyota Venzas are produced

at the company's Georgetown, Ky., plant,

which employs about 6,600 people and

represents a $6 billion investment. The

Georgetown plant is the company's largest

manufacturing facility outside of Japan.

The Port of Brunswick's Colonel's

Island Terminal is the nation's third busiest

autoport, handling 612,489 auto and

machinery units in calendar year 2012.

"Toyota, a new client for the Georgia

Ports Authority, joins 20 other domestic

and foreign carmakers who use the Port

of Brunswick," said GPA Executive Director

Curtis Foltz. "Increasingly, Brunswick is a critical gateway for American-made vehicles entering the global marketplace."
Through March of the current fiscal year, Brunswick has handled 458,061 units of auto and machinery cargo, an increase of 18 percent over the 388,061 handled over the same period in the previous fiscal year.
"Because of our direct interstate access and two Class I rail services, we can move exports from inland factories more efficiently, as well as move import cargo to destinations across the Southeast," Foltz said.
International Auto Processing was instrumental in winning the Toyota business, and will thus serve as Toyota's auto processor.
"Toyota's decision to go with the Port of Brunswick is a testament to the level of service that auto manufacturers can expect here in Georgia," said IAP President and CEO Robert Miller. IAP is the original auto processing company on Colonel's Island, and its operations today encompass more than 200,000 square feet of processing facilities and 255 acres of storage and processing area on Colonel's Island, with more than 200 employees.
The port features four other auto

ABOUT TOYOTA

processors in addition to IAP. The Port of Brunswick handles
approximately 10 percent of all U.S. roll-on/roll-off trade, and 12 percent of U.S. Ro/Ro imports. The port ranks third in the nation for auto and machinery trade, serving nearly two dozen domestic and foreign carmakers, as well as heavy equipment producers.

Automaker to move five models through Georgia Ro/Ro facility

S

ubaru has chosen Georgia as its gateway into the Southeastern U.S., and will soon start importing

five of its models through the

Port of Brunswick.

"It is significant that Brunswick is

Subaru's first port of entry in the

Southeastern U.S.," said Georgia Ports

Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz.

"The efficiency of service from the GPA

and our partners in auto processing, as

well as Brunswick's speed to important

markets, makes Georgia the smart choice

for roll-on/roll-off cargo."

Subaru National Transportation Manager

Larry Strug said the deepwater port at

Brunswick will serve two zones in Subaru's

national distribution network. The zones

cover an area from North Carolina to

Florida. Other import terminals include

Vancouver, Wash., Richmond, Calif.,

and Baltimore, Md.

The Japanese-based carmaker

announced at a national dealer meeting

that it will move 15,000 vehicles through

Georgia annually. Models include the

Forester, Crosstrek, Impreza, WRX STI

and BRZ. Shipments are set to begin

in mid-July, carried by shipping line NYK.

An assembly plant in Lafayette, Ind.,

produces the Legacy, Outback and Tribeca

models sold in the U.S. Strug said the

company looked at other ports, but

settled on Brunswick.

"We liked what we saw. We liked what

we heard from other manufacturers," Strug

said. "We're very much about quality. We're

very much about ensuring that our

customers have a little different vehicle."

That focus on satisfying individual

tastes is what led Subaru to choose

the GPA facility.

"We accessorize our vehicles and put

certain options on them at ports," Strug

said. "We think it gives us an advantage in

the marketplace for customers to be able

to somewhat customize their vehicles."

Volvo is already doing something similar

at Brunswick, and Strug saw an opportunity to take advantage of existing systems. He added that Subaru's business model of customizing cars at ports means more local jobs will be added. WWL Vehicle Services Americas won the auto processing contract.
"WWL Vehicle Services Americas is pleased to be selected by Subaru as the vehicle processing provider of choice at the Port of Brunswick," said John Felitto, President and CEO of WWL Vehicle Services Americas. "Brunswick plays an important role in entry to the Southeastern U.S. auto market. WWL Vehicle Services Americas operates its state of the art auto processing facility at the Port of Brunswick to support manufacturer needs such as this."
"We liked what we saw. We liked what we heard from other manufacturers."
- Larry Strug, Subaru National Transportation Manager
GPA Board Chairman Robert Jepson said several factors make Brunswick attractive to carmakers.
"The three Colonel's Island Ro/Ro berths and five on-terminal auto processors mean Brunswick has the capacity to quickly move roll-on/roll-off cargo," Jepson said. "Additionally, immediate access to I-95 puts 44 percent of the U.S. population within a one- to two-day drive."
The terminal also offers expedited delivery by rail to the major population centers of Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Memphis and Orlando.
"Further, our customer service is world class," Jepson said. "The GPA's Client Relations Center is unparalleled in the industry, allowing port users to resolve issues with a single phone call."

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

"Nordic's announcement extends the Port
of Savannah's ability to support Georgia's vital
agricultural industry, in particular, our poultry producers."
- Curtis J. Foltz, GPA Executive Director

N ordic Cold Storage has opened the first phase of its state-of-theart storage and blast facility, located just minutes from the Port of Savannah, the second busiest export facility in the U.S. The site has over 200,000 square-feet of convertible temperature-controlled storage space and is capable of blasting more than 10 million pounds of product, ranging from fresh poultry to produce, per week. This $30 million facility currently employs 150 workers, but Nordic plans a second phase by the end of the year, which will mirror the existing infrastructure. The cold storage warehouse began receiving its first shipments this month. "Nordic's announcement extends the Port of Savannah's ability to support Georgia's vital agricultural industry, in particular, our poultry producers," said Curtis Foltz, Georgia Ports Authority's Executive Director. "The Georgia Ports Authority handles nearly 40 percent of the nation's containerized poultry exports, and quality providers like Nordic will give shippers more cost effective options for moving refrigerated commodities to and from international markets." The Port of Savannah contributes significantly to promoting American businesses in the global marketplace. Last year alone, the GPA saw a 3.9% increase in refrigerated cargo exports, totaling nearly 108,000 TEUs, or twenty-foot equivalent container units. More than 80 cold storage facilities around the state rely on the Port of Savannah, with a combined storage capacity greater than 16 million square feet. "Our Savannah facility is a reflection of Nordic's commitment to meet the temperature-controlled supply chain requirements that our customers want today and will need tomorrow," said Don Schoenl, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nordic. "Our facility is located at I-95 and Jimmy DeLoach Parkway, only six miles from the Port of Savannah, and provides our customers convenient access to the port and interstate highways."

Ross Maple, Nordic's Director of Business Strategy said the project was made possible through the support and pro-business attitude of Nordic's partners at the Georgia Department of Economic Development, the Savannah Economic Development Authority, the Georgia Ports Authority, Georgia Power, Georgia Quick Start, and the City of Pooler.
"Nordic's commitment to build additional off-terminal freezer and temperature-controlled cold storage capacity, along with the GPA's ongoing work to expand on-terminal capacity for refrigerated cargo, will strengthen Georgia's position in the marketplace," said Foltz.
Georgia Ports Authority's Garden City Terminal currently has 64 refrigerated cargo racks online. The GPA is adding an additional 20 racks, allowing for the accommodation of 2,016 containers. In the last seven years, refrigerated cargo exports through the Port of Savannah have increased 130 percent.
"These numbers show the extent to which commerce has chosen Georgia as the gateway to global trade. The Georgia Ports Authority's economic impact extends well beyond state lines. Efficient access to world markets through Georgia's deepwater ports means our customers are poised for progress," said Robert Jepson, Georgia Ports Authority Board Chairman.
ABOUT NORDIC LOGISTICS AND WAREHOUSING, LLC
Nordic is the second largest cold storage operator in the Southeast and the eighth largest in the North America. Based in Atlanta, Nordic specializes in providing cold storage and distribution services to major food producers, distributors, retailers and other blue chip customers. The company operates 14 facilities in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and South Carolina, which together comprise more than 70 million cubic feet of temperature-controlled storage space.

Dukal, OHL Enter Savannah Market

D ukal Corporation, a leading supplier of disposable medical products, has chosen the Port of Savannah as its major port of entry, and established new distribution center space in Savannah. "Our new central distribution center in Savannah will provide closer proximity to our customers at reduced container rates and distribution costs," said Travis Torre, director of logistics for Dukal. Dukal has contracted for 140,000 square feet at a Tremont Road location in Savannah, in close proximity to Interstate 95 (north-south) and I-16 (east-west). The space features 32-foot clearance and 32 dock doors. Falcon Transport will handle drayage from the port to the warehouse, a distance less than six miles. "Dukal's decision to form its East Coast distribution center in Savannah puts the company in a prime location to more efficiently reach one of the fastest growing markets in the nation," said Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz. Dukal will join a growing number of cargo owners who have located in Savannah. The port's logistics network includes two Class I railroads on terminal and a hub of 4 million square feet of available distribution center space. "Georgia's logistics network of road, rail and ocean transport is unsurpassed in the United States," said GPA Board Chairman Robert Jepson. "Cargo handling at

Georgia's deepwater ports in Brunswick and Savannah sets the industry standard in efficiency and cost effectiveness."
Dukal has contracted with third party logistics (3PL) provider OHL to run the distribution center. The Dukal location is OHL's first foray into the Savannah market, although the logistics provider is well established in Atlanta. OHL has a companywide network of 32 million square feet of warehouse space.
"The Savannah operation will serve everything east of Texas and up to Montana," Torre said. Dukal Corporation provides bandages, surgical supplies and hygiene items for four markets: medical, dental, health spa and veterinary clinics.

roll into Savannah
GPA to move more than a million bikes per year

K ent Bicycles has rolled into Savannah in a big way, with plans to move more than a million units a year through the deepwater port.
"We have been warehousing solely in Los Angeles and were looking for a strategic location for our second distribution point, and Savannah worked out with the best metrics," said Arnold Kamler, CEO of Kent International.
Kamler said the company will move about 1.3 million bicycles per year through its Savannah distribution center, equating to about 7,000 twenty-foot equivalent container units (TEUs) annually.
"Kent's decision to locate its East Coast distribution center in Savannah will provide cost-effective and reliable access to 44 percent of the U.S. population," said Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director Curtis Foltz.
Kent has contracted with third-party logistics provider Schneider Port Logistics, with warehousing space flexing to accommodate the number of units on site.
"This new hub in our distribution network will serve the Northeast,
WWW.GAPORTS.COM

Southeast, Midwest and the Southwest as far as Texas," Kamler said.
Dan Flaherty, vice president and general manager at Schneider Port Logistics, said Kent's East Coast distribution center will place their products closer to a rapidly growing regional market, and provide more economical reach into the hinterlands.
"Importing into the Port of Savannah and warehousing right outside of it provides Kent advantages on transportation costs as well as speed to their key markets North and South," Flaherty said.
Schneider is serving Kent from its 840,000 square-foot, 140-door Grange Road campus, which is half a mile from the Port of Savannah's main gate, seven miles from Interstate 95, and six miles from I-16.
"Our new Savannah distribution center, with its strategic location and flexible warehouse space, directly aligns with our commitment to fast, efficient service to our customers and retail partners," Kamler said.
Kent bicycles are sold by major retailers including Target, Walmart and Toys R Us, as well as online outlets such as Amazon.com. The units imported through Savannah are made in China and Taiwan.

GPA Board Chairman Robert Jepson said when companies like Kent decide to distribute goods from Georgia, it supports jobs in the logistics industry and beyond but it also makes good business sense for the company.
"The Port of Savannah's location as the most westerly of the Atlantic Coast ports makes it the gateway of choice for markets such as Atlanta, Birmingham, Memphis, Louisville, Charlotte and beyond," Jepson said.

Saving Money While Saving the World

G lobally, innovators are developing new solutions to better shepherd natural resources, control costs and become more productive. But many of these innovators are stymied by a lack of funding or the inability to put their ideas in front of the right people. That's where the Ocean Exchange comes in.
Founded in 2010, the Ocean Exchange unites worldwide organizations across multiple disciplines to accelerate awareness and adoption of solutions that positively impact environment, economies and health. Part of that effort includes a call for entries, which are judged in competition each year.
"The spark came from the business community in Savannah that is committed to all aspects of the ocean, whether that's the ocean for itself and its beauty, its recreational use or its business use," said Cort Atkinson, co-founder and CEO of the exchange. "They were committed to showing the positive work businesses and individuals were doing relative to the ocean."
Atkinson said Savannah's history of innovation, combined with its international trade connections, make it the perfect hub to showcase game-changing innovations to an influential audience.
The theme for 2013, "Leap to Zero+," encourages all people to generate economic growth and increased productivity while reducing, ideally to zero, the use of nature's resources and waste.
"Our board felt that there were more solutions we could be showcasing in this area, and these solutions are important and time critical to everyone," Atkinson said.
SUBMISSION CATEGORIES There are two submission categories. Solution creators seeking financial

support can register to compete to be one of the top 10 entries chosen to present at the Exchange in Savannah, Ga., on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 2013. Invited delegates will then vote for the winners of: The Gulfstream Navigator Award 2013. $100,000 is given to the Solution that best demonstrates the greatest potential to LEAP TO ZERO+ with applicability across multiple industries generating positive impact on the environment, economies and health. The WWL Orcelle Award 2013. $100,000 is given to the solution that makes shipping and logistics more sustainable by advancing zero-emissions marine transport and technologies that are commercially viable.
"We have just concluded our call for solutions from entrepreneurs organizations and individuals who want to compete for the $100,000 awards," Atkinson said. "The number and caliber of solutions that we have are phenomenal. We have so many solutions that are transformative. Each year keeps getting better. We're very excited about it." The second category is for Industry Excellence Awards (registration open until July 18, 2013 11:59pm GMT).
Corporations and organizations with solutions registered in the Ocean Exchange Gallery are automatically considered for the Excellence Awards. The top three solutions chosen by the global review panel will be invited to present at the opening reception on Sept. 29, 2013.

MAJOR SPONSORS After landing a new major sponsor, the
Ocean Exchange doubled its prize money in 2012 to $200,000.
In addition to the $100,000 Gulfstream

Navigator Award, the competition now features the $100,000 Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics Orcelle Award. Originally established by shipping line company Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics in 2008, WWL chose to partner with the Ocean Exchange because of its belief in the organization's mission and ability to reach a diverse audience of solutions creators.
While the award funded by jet maker Gulfstream goes to environmental solutions that apply across multiple industries, the WWL Orcelle award targets solutions that make shipping and logistics more sustainable by advancing zero-emissions marine transport and technologies that are commercially viable.
Atkinson said for 2013, the Ocean Exchange board is excited to add the Savannah Economic Development Authority and its World Trade Center operation to its list of partners. In addition to providing financial support, the organization is providing greater international reach. SEDA is tapping into the global World Trade Center organization to identify delegates to come to the solutions exchange meeting, and helping Ocean Exchange connect with innovators and other funders.
Also new this year is an international online solutions database. Individuals or organizations can upload ideas to the directory that constitute positive developments for the environment, economic development and health. The directory, slated to be operative by September, will help businesses reach their corporate responsibility goals by sharing their solutions with the public. Details on the directory are available the Ocean Exchange website. Descriptions of all 2013 Ocean Exchange submissions will be included online.

GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY
COMMITS to PROTECT

HISTORIC TREES

GPA protects and maintains dozens of old growth oak trees

T he Georgia Ports Authority has put dozens of historic trees located on GPA property under protective governance, now and into the future.
"These massive oaks located on GPA property are awe inspiring and have been here long before we were," said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. "Today, on National Arbor Day, the Georgia Ports Authority is making an official commitment to protect and preserve these natural and historic assets."
About a dozen trees that are more than 200 years old are located on GPA's Garden City Terminal. Of those, the two oldest are both estimated to be more than 360 years old.
Local arborist Shannon Baughman said the GPA's sustainability effort protecting trees including an avenue of oaks estimated to be more than 125 years old is notable for its scope.
"It's impressive to see so many trees of this age in one area," Baughman said.

"The oldest here are more than 100 years older than the celebrated Chandler Oak located in downtown Savannah."
The two oldest trees are located at the Garden City Terminal off of GA 25. The oldest is 92 inches in diameter and is estimated to have taken root in 1645. The second oldest is 91 inches in diameter, and is estimated to have taken root in 1649. Baughman estimated each tree's age based on its diameter.
GPA, one of only a few commercial areas in Savannah that hosts a large stand of mature oaks, maintains the trees with regular pruning and has had lightning protection installed on the oldest trees.
"Mature live oaks are very important to Savannah and our history," Baughman said. "Promoting their health through proper care is essential. Protecting the trees from lightning strikes is an additional step to prolonging their lives."
Four trees, one more than 250 years old, located at the new Container Operations Building were preserved during

the building process and the building was even repositioned to provide optimal growing conditions for the trees. "Our mission is to grow our business in environmentally responsible ways," said Foltz. "Protecting the tree canopy around the fourth busiest container port in the nation is just one project we've undertaken as part of our sustainability initiative."
GPA Board Chairman Robert Jepson noted that while the GPA has tripled its container traffic over the past 10 years, it has also cut in half its emissions per container moved.
"This phenomenal business growth calls for proactive environmental strategies, and the Georgia Ports Authority will remain at the forefront of sustainable practices in the maritime industry," Jepson said.

Heart of Georgia Altamaha Building For Growth

ECONOMIC SPOTLIGHT

T he Heart of Georgia Altamaha Region makes great use of its proximity to both of Georgia's

ports, exporting over $310.5

million and importing nearly $78 million

in goods during 2012, for a total regional

value of $388.65 million.

With a strong lumber industry, the

HGAR exported several related products

last year, including 424,376 tons of wood

pulp; 10,709 tons of newsprint; and 6,644

tons of paper and paperboard, all totaling

over $261 million.

But wood products are not the only

export story from the HGAR. Aircraft parts

accounted for over $21 million, vegetable

fibers for over $2.8 million, and furniture

for $1.67 million. Over $6 million worth of

still wines, along with $817,000 in aluminum

ware and buildings, and coated fabrics

for about $225,000 were exported from

this region. Other exports included

agricultural machinery, pet and animal

Imports in 2012 ranged from 20,629

feeds and firefighting equipment.

Brett Manning, executive director of the Heart of Georgia Altamaha Regional Commission, adds, "Having the Georgia ports in close proximity to our area is an invaluable resource that we are very fortunate to be able to access. Georgia Ports plays a vital role in the economic success of our 17-county region, especially in the export of its agricultural and manufactured goods."
