AFTER TEN YEARS of debate the stage is now set for a Congressional showdown over waterway user charges within the next two or three months The imposition of waterway user fees would constitute a radical change in U S policy with respect to the Nations rivers harbors and waterways All domestic waterways are tollfree Ships barge tows and recreational craft may navigate federally constructed operated and maintained channels without payment of special levies fees or user charges This federal policy has prevailed without significant interruption for almost 200 years
Until this past year only the inland waterways were targeted for these tolls The
1977 version of the bill however will according to our Congressional leaders seek to levy user charges on ocean vessels entering our deepwater ports and recreational craft as well as barge tows
We firmly believe tollfree water transportation is important to the Nations economic stability energy security agricultural productivity export trade and expanding employment opportunities The time has come for all of us to rally around the ship and do everything we can to defeat this legislation which will impose additional burden upon already heavily ladened surface transportation costs Write or call your Congressman

Soviet Auto LADA Via Port of
ONE OF THE most significant economic developments of 1976 was the announcement that the Eastern Regional Headquarters of Satra Motors would locate in Savannah
The joint announcement came late in September from the Georgia Ports Authority and the Savannah Port Authority
Satra will import prepare and distribute the Sovietbuilt LADA automobile at the new Savannah facility During the first years operation 10000 automobiles are expected to be handled with 25000 vehicles ultimately expected to be processed annually through the new facility
Initial employment is estimated at 150 increasing to 300 as sales increase The LADA has been on the market in Great Britain and Germany for some time This is the first time a Sovietmade auto will be imported into the US
The new Satra Motors facility will include a fullyequipped Emissions Control Laboratory It will be used to insure continuing compliance with Federal Emission Control Standards and will be the only laboratory of its type on the Atlantic Seaboard
The location of Satra Motors in the Garden City Terminal is according to GPA Chairman Don Grantham a significant development in our quest for additional work markets for the Ports of Georgia
As environmental regulations become more strengent Grantham pointed out the presence of this laboratory in Savannah could be instrumental in attracting to the Port of Savannah other automotive

ABOVE Jointly announcing the Satra move during a Savannah press conference were lr standing Georgia Ports Authority chairman Don A Grantham and Savannah Port Authority chairman Sylvan Byck Seated lr are Mayor John Rousakis Chatham County Commission chairman J Tom Coleman Satra Motors president Agop Chalekian and Robert J De Maria of Satra Motors Standing at right is GPA executive director George J Nichols
LEFT The LADA 1500 is described as tight economical to operate offers sporty handling and reportedly will have a very competitive price tag The LADA follows the basic Fiat 124 design plan with a modified engine suspension and interior The U S Environmental Protection Agency rates the LADA 1500 at 34 mpg in simulated highway driving and 25 mpg in town
importers requiring this testing facility
Ground is being prepared for construction of an estimated 21 million Satra Motors predelivery center and spare parts depot on a 15acre site located within the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal
The location of Satra Corporation in Savannah according to Savannah Port Authority Chairman Sylvan Byck underscores the importance of Savannah as a major international seaport and represents fruition of the intensive joint effort of the two Authorities that began in December of 1975
In the new facility Satra Motors will perform final inspection and rectification of all LADA vehicles prior to their shipment to US dealers for retail sale In addition spare parts sufficient to supply the entire eastern network of LADA dealers will be stored in the Garden City Terminal facility
The location of Satra Motors at the Garden City Terminal will mean increased shipping traffic at the Port of Savannah since Soviet automobile carrier transports will commence a regular run to the port carrying shiploads of LADA automobiles
Initial projections call for at least monthly shipments of automobiles and parts More frequent deliveries are expected to be required as sales volume increases
Under current plans and projections the first shipload of LADA automobiles should arrive in the Port of Savannah sometime late this year or early 1978
Satra Motors Inc is a subsidiary of Satra Corporation a publiclyowned American corporation headquartered in New York City Satra Corporation represents American companies trading with the Soviet Union as well as being a major importer of Soviet goods

GEA Opens Athens Office for Middle East
North Africa Trade
THE GEORGIA PORTS Authority took another giant step in overseas trade development late in 1976 with the appointment of Basil G Grekousis as Mediterranean Director for the Middle East and North Africa with headquarters in Athens Greece GPA thus became the first Basil G Grekousis ports Authority in this country
to open an office in the Middle East
This is the third GPA overseas Trade Development office The two others are in Bonn West Germany and Tokyo Japan The Georgia Ports Authority also maintains Trade Development offices in Atlanta
New York and Chicago
In announcing the new Athens office George J Nichols GPA Executive Director pointed to the obvious increase of international trade and growing exports to Middle East and North Africa countries which make it necessary for us to work in direct contact with commercial and governmental agencies in that part of the world to secure a greater share of cargo movements through Georgias ports This also places us in an advantageous position to arrange additional
steamship services between these countries and the Ports of Georgia
Fred Whelan director of Trade Development for the GPA described the new overseas office as another positive forward step by the Georgia Ports Authority since we are the first and only Ports Authority in the US with offices and direct coverage in that area of the world We will also be able to work in closer cooperation with Greek shipping interests
Grekousis a Greek national was born and educated in Alexandria Egypt He is multilingual with fluency in seven languages including Arabic He comes to the Georgia Ports Authority with a solid background in international trade transportation and shipping
Grekousis has had tours of duty with Esso Oil Company Pan American and Athens Pipe Works Corporation in Ethiopia the Sudan and Brazil He and his wife Aliki and their two children live in Athens
The new Athens office will handle Georgia Ports Authority interests and trade development in Greece the Middle East countries Gulf states Egypt Libya Morocco and Nigeria

RAILROAD BRIDGE REMOVED FROM CHANNEL
REMOVAL OF WRECKAGE of the Seaboard Coast Line Bridge from the Savannah Harbor is in its final stages according to Georgia Ports Authority GPA officials
The span was partially destroyed when a ship struck it in 1971 and the wreckage has hampered navigation in the harbor since the collision
All major explosive demolition on the project is completed The contractor is driving cofferdams on the five piers This facilitates the pumping out of water to reach the steel pile each of which extends 50 feet below the river bed A 50ton crane will extract the Hbeams
The project is expected to be completed by midsummer
Total removal of the bridge remnants will accommo
date widening and deepening of the Savannah Harbor according to George J Nichols GPA executive director
Nichols says removal of the Seaboard Coast Line Bridge wreckage will enable widening of the 286foot channel to a 400foot clearance which will conform to the current project width of other portions of the harbor
Clearance of the bridge wreckage has been for several years an overriding priority of GPA and Savannah Port Authority officials according to Nichols
He says the price tag on the bridge wreckage removal is approximately 13 million Nichols says 138400 of that cost will be furnished by the GPA with the remainder being paid by the federal government under provisions of the TrumanHobbs Act

GRANDMA CACARO HAS A BLAST
A GRANDMOTHER played a major role in the final stage of removing the Seaboard Coast Line bridge wreckage
Mrs Virginia Cacaro was in charge of blasting piers of the old bridge The superstructure of the span was removed earlier
Mrs Cacaro used small blasts to crack the piers in order for them to be removed by work crews The attractive grandmother started in the demolition field by answering a newspaper ad about six years ago
She points with pride to a particular project she worked on
It involved blasting within a foot and a half of the primary MiamitoBoston telephone line Mrs Cacaro says the demolition was accomplished without any interruption of telephone service
On another occasion she helped remove an overpass that crossed a highway without any extended disruption of traffic This was done according to Mrs Cacaro by halting traffic on one side of the highway while that portion of the overpass was blasted then repeating the operation on the other side of the highway
Mrs Cacaro says her daughters have accompanied her on several blasting assignments but they have demonstrated no tangible interest in pursuing her unusual career
Mrs Cacaro is employed by George Brown Blasting Consultants of Miami and Fort Lauderdale

RECEPTION
DR ROBERTO LAZARUS Ambassador to the United States from Honduras and Mrs Lazarus headed up a group of Honduran dignitaries which hosted a recent reception in Atlanta for members of Georgias international business community
The dignitaries were executives from the National Ports Authority of Honduras and the Free Zone of Puerto Cortes The delegation was in Georgia to promote the virtues of Honduras port facilities
Heading the delegation were Mr Jose Fonseca assistant executive director of the Ports Authority and Mr Guillermo E Padilla superintendent of the Free Zone of Puerto Cortes
They are seeking closer ties between Honduras Atlanta and the Southeast United States The Ports officials emphasized the strategic geographical location of Honduras in the center of the CaribbeanCentral AmericanMexican area which they feel complements Georgias location in the Southeastern US and provides many attractive opportunities for mutually beneficial trade
The mission was coordinated by Mrs Alma L May the Consul of Honduras in Atlanta
Ambassador Lazarus said that the commercial banking and transeastern makeup is moving Atlanta toward becoming an international city
He pointed to the two coastlines of Honduras one on the Pacific Ocean and one on the Caribbean Sea as vital factors in making the new Free Port Harbor of particular value to this country
ABOVE The Folkloric Dancers of the National Ports Authority of Honduras entertained Georgians at the reception Two of the colorfully attired dancers Cesar Agusto Oro and Eduardo A Calderon present Governor George Busbee with a machete from their Central American nation Looking on at left are Mr Guillermo Padilla Superintendent of the Free Zone of Puerto Cortes Miss Julia Padilla Chancellor of the Embassy of Honduras in IVashington and Mr Jose Fonseca assistant executive director of the National Ports Authority of Honduras BELOW Much of the conversation at the reception was dominated by the diverse opportunities for mutually beneficial trade between Honduras and the US The topic had the undivided attention of LR Governor George Busbee Ambassador Roberto Lazarus Mrs Alma L May Consul of Honduras in Atlanta and George D May an engineer with Bernard Johnson Inc

ANCHORAGE
If the Panama Canal should be knocked out of action by war or for any reason according to Lazarus the two coasts of Honduras are connected by a modern highway With a good connection of the two ports by land you dont need the Panama Canal
Ambassador Lazarus emphasized that he expects no immediate trouble in Panama but he predicted that the US will not lose administration of the Canal He foresees Panama getting more participation in administration of the Canal but he thinks the United States must have absolute control of defense of the Panama Canal
He also thinks any major crisis over the Canal will be averted by the fact that the US has learned renegotiation which springs in part from a change in attitudes of the US toward Latin America
Officials of the Georgia Ports Authoritys Trade Development division flew four members of the Honduran delegation to Savannah for a tour of port facilities at the Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal and lunch at the Pirates House
Making the trip to Georgias major deepwater port were Messrs Fonseca and Padilla and Mr Victor Tarrab assistant Superintendent of the Free Zone and Mr Edgardo Paredes director of Planning and Development and Mrs May
Other delegation members visiting Atlanta were Mr Jorge Lainez director of Engineering and Mrs Lainez

ZIM AMERICANISRAELI SHIPPING COMPANY INC OPENS SAVANNAH OFFICE
ZIM AMERICANISRAELI Shipping Company Inc is happy to announce the opening of an office in Savannah on January 1 1977
For many years Zim has offered a breakbulksemi container service to the shipping community of the Southeastern United States This service has recently been expanded with the implementation of a fully modernized container fleet As a consequence of this increased scope Zim has seen the importance of opening its own office to serve its clients through its own personnel
Zim brings to the South Atlantic a modern and virtually a worldwide shipping service Through the employment of new speedy container feeder vessels which will call Savannah about every eleven days shippers and receivers may now take
advantage of full containerload service as well as less than containerload service between Savannah and the Mediterranean and the Far East In addition conventionaltype vessels will continue to offer a monthly service between Savannah and Ashdod and Haifa as well as between other South Atlantic ports and Ashdod and Haifa
This investment by Zim indicates the confidence the Lines management has in the forecasts of continued economic growth in the South and of the importance of international trade now being realized more and more by United States manufacturers
The Savannah office is in the charge of Mr James H Powers and is located in Suite 801

A REPORT
The Port of Savannah
Editors note On February 1st the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce sponsored Economic Outlook 1977 during its 170th annual meeting at the DeSoto Hilton Various local leaders reported in the areas of Manufacturing Financial Retail Visitors Industry and the Regional National and International Outlook for 1977 George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority was asked to give an overview on the Port of Savannah Following is the text of his remarks
In case you have failed to notice the Port of Savannah is booming U S Customs collections last year climbed to 566 million dollars up from a 1975 total of 40 million which was a five million dollar drop from 1974
Traffic in the river is increasing at an impressive rate There is a 10 to 15 percent increase projected in tonnage moving through our Georgia Ports Authority Terminals here alone
We are hopeful this increase will be accommodated by our 52 million dollar expansion program which is eighty percent completed
The third container berth at our Garden City Terminal is under construction Upon completion the three berths will be equipped by four giant container cranes each capable of loading and unloading 45 containers per hour
The three berths are expected to handle approximately 100000 containers
annually within one year after completion of the third berth Estimated tonnage in the containers is projected to be approximately 15 million tons
This substantial container volume increase points to the need for future construction of additional container berths on recently purchased GPA property on Hutchinson Island
Completion of two new general cargo berths with the most modern paper handling equipment will mean an increase of 150000 tons of paper products moving through our facilities annually
With the expansion of the LASH facility at the mouth of the Savannah River we consider the future of the LASH system to be excellent
The Georgia Ports Authority is also helping to enhance expanding world markets for Georgia agricultural products With the completion of the four and a half million dollar expansion of our dry bulk facility in July of this year we look for an increase in handling of Georgia agricultural commodities such as corn soybeans soybean meals peanuts and peanut meals of approximately fifty percent
This increased export capability is expected to help Georgia farmers in

stabilizing the prices they receive for their grain crops
Negotiations are underway on construction of a new liquid chemical facility which would generate approximately 350000 tons of cargo annually through our Garden City Terminals
Expansion is almost completed on existing Belcher Oil Company of Georgia petroleum storage facilities which should contribute an additional
50000 tons of cargo products which will be distributed in Georgia and South Carolina
The rebuilding of tank facilities for storage and distribution will mean an additional 80000 tons of imported liquid sulphur moving over the GPA docks annually
A logical handmaiden of Georgia Ports Authority expansion is new industry The Port of Savannah will experience large tonnage increases with the new liquified natural gas facility on Elba Island Southern Energy Company will import approximately four million tons of liquid gases to be converted at the gasification facility annually The Braswell shipyard and drydock to be built will initially employ about 300 people
Georgia Pacific and Forest Commodities Corporation have started con

struction on two facilities which will export woodchips from the Port of Savannah
Also under construction in the Port by Southern Bulk Industries is a bulk clay facility which will handle about
300000 tons of clay each year
The Ports Authority is currently negotiating with S S Kresge Company the nations third largest mass merchandiser to increase by one hundred percent their space requirements on a 400000 square foot import distribution center at our Garden City Terminals
Ground is being cleared for construction of a 21 million dollar Satra automobile processing and parts Center on our Garden City Terminals property which will ultimately generate approximately 25000 automobiles annually over the GPA docks
I am glad to report that the project to remove the wreckage of the Seaboard Coast Line Bridge is in the final stages and is expected to be completed by midsummer The remnants have hampered navigation in the Savannah Harbor since a ship ran into the structure in 1971 Final removal of the bridge wreckage will accommodate widening and deepening of the Savannah Harbor by the Corps of Engineers
Clearance of the SCL bridge wreckage has been an overriding priority of the Georgia Ports Authority and the Savannah Port Authority for several years
The GPA will furnish 138400 of the 13 million dollar cost with the remainder being paid by the federal government
As the largest general cargo handler on the South Atlantic the Port of Savannah is becoming more and more an international importexport center And we are working to enlarge that scope
The growth of the U S exports to the Middle East has been phenomenal U S exports in 1975 to Saudi Arabia alone totaled 800000 tons at a dollar value of more than one billion dollars In 1977 U S exports to Arab nations are expected to be up by as much as forty percent
In an effort to exploit this tremendous upsurge in Middle East trade the Georgia Ports Authority in November of last year opened a Meditteranean office in Athens Greece for Middle East and North Africa trade We are the first U S Ports Authority to open an office for Middle East trade Since our announcement we understand that New Orleans the second largest port in the nation will open an Athens office for Middle East trade
We have increased our Trade Development staffs in Tokyo Bonn and our domestic offices in New York Chicago and Atlanta We currently have under study the feasibility of a Georgia Ports Authority office somewhere in Southeast Asia
As we increase the international traffic through our port we increase the impact of Savannah Harbor activity on Savannah area economy
A section of a recent study conducted and compiled by the Savannah District Office of the Corps of Engineers showed that with almost
16000 persons in portrelated employment the Port of Savannah accounts for almost 25 percent of total Chatham County employment
The study also indicated that the total annual earnings of those portrelated employees exceeded 190million dollars in 1975
With those figures in mind it is not difficult to understand why in a period when unemployment reached 77 percent nationwide and 71 percent statewide unemployment climbed no higher than 55 percent here in the Port of Savannah
Permit me to reiterate in case you havent noticed the Port of Savannah is booming

Georgia peanuts and byproducts stole most of the spotlight at the second annual International Food and Agricultural Trade Show in New Orleans February 10th through the 12th
More than 100 foreign buyers inspected the booths and wares and listened to blandishments of 70 exhibitors at the International Trade Mart The Trade Show was sponsored by the Southern United States Trade Association SUSTA
Among the Georgia exhibitors were the International Marketing Division of Gold Kist Inc Jack Prince Inc of Gainesville and Trade Inc of Savannah The Georgia Ports Authority was one of two Ports Authorities represented by exhibits at the Trade Show
Two agencies of the Georgia Department of Agriculture the Georgia Agricultural Commodity Commission for Peanuts and Georgia Farm Products joined forces with the Southeastern Peanut Association based in Albany in promoting Georgia peanuts at the Trade Show
Peanut flakes an innovative product touted as a filler compound on the order of soybean meal was introduced
at the SUSTA Trade Show by the Commodity Commission for Peanuts The item aroused considerable interest among Middle East and Caribbean buyers several of whom substantiated their interest by placing sizable orders for the peanut flakes
Many nutritionists consider the peanut flakes a viable protein supplement The flakes will be producted by the World Protein Corporation in a plant at Sylvester Georgia The plant is scheduled to open in midsummer
Georgians participating in the Trade Show were gratified at the obvious high esteem in which Tommy Irvin Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture is held by Agriculture Commissioners of the member states and the SUSTA officials and staff During opening ceremonies in which Commissioner Irvin was called upon to cut the ribbon John White Commissioner of Agriculture for Texas and president of SUSTA and Gilbert L dozier Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture underscored the substantial role Irvin played in the formation of SUSTA and the part he and his department play in maintaining the momentum of SUSTA

W D TRIPPE NAMED TO GEORGIAS TRANSPORTATION HALL OF FAME
The Georgia Freight Bureau celebrated its Diamond Anniversary by establishing the Georgia Transportation Hall of Fame and inducting twelve outstanding Georgians for their contribution to the traffic industry which is credited with the economic success of Georgia and its largest city Atlanta
W D Trippe SecretaryTreasurer of the Georgia Ports Authority was one of the three living Georgians to receive the honor
Charlie Brown Chairman of the 75th Anniversary Committee on inducting Mr Trippe stated W D Trippe was appointed a member of the Georgia Ports Authority in 1955 At that time the terminals of the GPA consisted of one deepwater berth and warehousing at Savannah Port Authority tonnages in 1954 amounted to 435000 tons of cargo
After twentytwo years of service the longest tenure of any man to serve on the Authority Mr Trippe can look with pride at the progress of the States port program over the past two decades
The State now operates twentyfive deepwater berths at Savannah three deepwater berths at Brunswick and inland barge terminals at Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus
The Authority now maintains Trade Development Offices in Atlanta New York Chicago Bonn West Germany Tokyo and Athens Greece
International commerce flowing through the States deepwater facilities has topped the three million ton mark Some 90000 trucks load annually at
the GPAs Savannah terminals and the Port of Savannah ranks seventh in the nation with railcars handled with general cargo commodities moving in international trade
Mr Trippe has faithfully and effectively served the Georgia Ports Authority as a member as its Vice Chairman as its Chairman and its SecretaryTreasurer for twentytwo years
He has witnessed and been a part of the development of a State port program which through international trade bolsters our States economy by some one billion dollars annually
Without question his business and financial experience political acume and sound judgement have been an inestimable value to the Georgia Ports Authority during all the years of his service
Other Georgians named to the Transportation Hall of Fame include
SAM D JONES An Atlanta stove manufacturer who first encountered discrimination in freight rates in the South back in 1902 Jones along with his brother Bolling organized the Freight Bureau and led the 50 year fight to equalize those rates
ELLIS ARNALL The freight rate controversy which in one form or another pitted railroads against truckers and southern states against the North had been raging for decades when Gov Arnall in 1945 sidestepped the ICC with a Supreme Court petition for settlement He asked the high court to permit the state to bring an antitruck suit directly against 20 railroad
companies charging they had conspired to fix rates to the detriment of the South The court agreed and from that decision emanated the final success that came later
HENRY M ATKINSON Atlanta in a sense owes two things to this man electric power and transportation He organized and built the citys first electric lighting system and with others consolidated the street railays and electric companies into the Georgia Railway and Electric Co It was Atantas first rapid transit system in 1900 He later organized two other rail firms the Atlanta Birmingham and Coast Railroad and the Tampa Northern Railroad both now parts of the Family Line System His Georgia Railway and Electric Co later became Georgia Power Co
WILLIAM E DILLARD For 39 years he worked his way through the ranks of the Central of Georgia Railroad before becoming its president in 1954 a post he held for 14 years He was there to oversee its merger into the Southern Railway System in 1971
JAMES L GILLIS SR A powerful political figure he was known simply as Mr Jim First named to the Highway Board in 1937 Gillis was later made director and chairman of a reorganized board in 1950 he became head of the Highway Department in 1959 a post he held until his retirement in 1970 Gillis was cited as the man who was responsible for directing the Interstate system into heavily populated areas where it was needed most Continued on Page 8

WILLIAM B HARTSFIELD In the 1920s as an eloquent young Atlanta alderman he went out on a limb and pushed for the citys purchase of a racetrack in Hapeville The decision was not popular but Candler Racetrack became the site of Atlanta Municipal Airport Airplanes were viewed by some in those days as playthings of the rich But in 21 years as mayor Hartsfield was a supporter of Atlanta as an air center His vision was rewarded Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport renamed in his honor is the worlds second busiest It has indeed been credited with making Atlanta the city it is today
WALTER MCDONALD Accidentally blinded at the age of eight McDonald overcame his handicap and became a lawyer legislator and 49year veteran member of the Georgia Public Service Commission He worked closely with the then Atlanta Freight Bureau and was instrumental in the successful resolution of many transportation rate controversies especially in the technical preparation of the Souths rate discrimination argument
export shipments how they should be filled out and instances in which particular documents are required for hazardous materials or other highly specialized cargoes The Workshop stressed documentation involved in various categories Inland Carriers RailTruck Foreign Carriers AirSea Cargo Terminals Freight ForwarderCustoms House Broker U S Customs Agricultural Regulations Insurance Marine Surveying Banking and Foreign Trade Zones
Ms Carter says the Workshop was the result of an oftenexpressed need for an indepth discussion of importexport paperwork and foreign investment by shipping and international trade interests
H DILLON WINSHIP SR Fortynine years ago he bought a twotruck operation known as Georgia Highway Express Today the firm operating under the same name grosses in the neighborhood of 40 million The firm has survived in an industry known for its shakeouts Winship was active in forming the Georgia Motor Trucking Association and the American Trucking Association

C E WOOLMAN With a modest start as a Louisiana crop duster Woolman was principal founder of a company that today ranks as one of commercial aviations most profitable and successful firms Delta Air Lines which he headed as chief executive for 37 years Perceiving the citys future he moved the company from Monroe La to Atlanta in 1941 From that headquarters Delta has grown into one of the nations largest airline companies and a prime contender to become an international carrier connecting Atlanta with Europe

DURING THIS PERIOD of postcalamities we should be surging ahead to secure our position of world leadership Adequate portions of neopolitical cohesiveness and rejuvenated economic forces have appeared on the horizon however counterproductive elements seem to gnaw at us constantly
Recent government reports indicate that our balance of deficit payments attributable to international trade is not caused by our competitive weakness in world markets but the surge in oil prices and oil imports Those who say that US employment has suffered
because of imported television sets shoes and steel contend the deficits support their case for greater protectionist resources
We must accept facts as they are The world no longer stands in awe of American resources and technology While we try to rest on our past laurels and great geographical divide other nations are enjoying increasing commerce from new frontiers
No matter how you slice it we cannot have our cake and eat it too This is one world and the world is one marketplace We had better get on with it

SPONSORS ARE CALLING the 11th Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference hosted by the Port of Savannah in midApril the most successful Conference yet
Four hundred persons representing maritime and shipping and federal and state governments attended the Foreign Trade Conference making it the largest in the history of the Conference
Two separate panel sessions pursued the theme of The Critical Period of International Shipping and The Critical Period of International ShippingGlobal Concepts
Panel participants ran the gamut covering the areas of the Panama Canal crisis the fragmented authority of Federal agencies import and trade competition between the US and the Soviet Union the United Nations Code for Liner Conferences the US trade balance ExportImport Bank funds CubaUS
trade potential and the role of Georgia in world trade
Major General H R Parfitt Governor of the Canal Zone and President of the Panama Canal Company told a panel session that a morale problem has been created by the approach of the Carter Administration toward negotiations on the Canal Treaty Parfitt said many Canal Zone employees are apprehensive about the future of their jobs
General Parfitt told the Conference that cargo tonnage increased 7V2 percent between October and March over the same period in the previous year Parfitt feels this is indicative of improved world trade
Gerald Ullman Counsel for the National Customs Brokers and Forwarders Association of America underscored the need for a remedy to the fragmented authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission the Federal Maritime Com
mission and the Civil Aeronautics Board in the transportation field He pointed to a recent ICC ruling which prohibits nonvessel operators acting as common carriers from participating in the inland segment of through rates Ullman said the abolition of the ICC might be the only practical solution
Charles Winch General Traffic Manager for Michelin Tire Corporation joined in criticism of the ICC and FMC but stopped short of calling for complete deregulation Such action Winch said would bring about wholesale deterioration of the transportation system Winch charged that the two agencies have allowed common sense to become diluted by theory and speculation
K Muranaka of MitsuiOSK Lines and Gerald Ullman revealed differing views on the matter of steamship conference response to the needs of small shippers Mu

ranaka maintains the small shipper can obtain redress from the conference on rates while Ullman contends the large shipper will always outstrip the small shipper in influencing the conference
Max M Hyder Corporate Traffic ManagerInternational Operations with the Brunswick Corporation called on responsible Georgians to work for equality of ocean rates in international trade Hyder said that some export cargo originating in Georgia is moving via the Canadian Gateways rather than through the Port of Savannah or other South Atlantic ports while other Georgia cargo is moving out through West Coast ports Hyder said inequitable ocean rates are responsible for diverting cargoes away from the Georgia ports and the related industry
Dennis T Snyder Regional Counsel of the US Customs Service told the panel session that the

laws under which millions of tons of cargo are handled by Customs have gone relatively unchanged since the 19th century The Customs workload according to Snyder has increased 300 percent over the last 20 years but the Customs work force has increased by only 50 percent
Snyder said another major stumbling block for Customs is the fact that the service has not been permitted to take advantage of modern business methods as a means of simplifying operations administration and management
The first day panel session was moderated by Don Harwood President of the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce
Carl Swenson Executive Vice President of Farrell Lines told a Georgia Foreign Trade Conference luncheon that the US is bucking the tide and trailing behind other

countries that permit closed conferences pooling and sailing agreements
Swenson voiced apprehension at the Russian entry into our trades He predicted that Soviet competition will prove to be the most severe and unfair blow the American steamship industry has ever had to endure He emphasized that the Russians are not following the tenets of the free enterprise system but are slashing rates by 40 to 70 percent in certain American trades while building many more merchant vessels than this country
In a dinner speech to the Conference Frank Weil Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Domestic and International Business predicted that the Carter Administration will handle import quota policy in a manner that will accommodate American industry in world competition
Weil expressed satisfaction that the young generation of today appears to have more concern for a healthy economy and shows greater understanding of the 1930 premise The Business of America is Business
Clarence Morse of the Federal Maritime Commission moderated the second day panel session
L Hugh Ballard President of Amatex Export Trade Association told the session that the curtailment in availability of ExportImport Bank funds is killing the industry He referred to his companys turnkey textile plant construction
Major Jeffrey E Barrie Commander of the South Atlantic Outport of the Military Traffic Management Command at Charleston South Carolina refuted the contention that the American Merchant fleet ranks tenth in the world The fact of the matter he said is that

Major Barrie offered the suggestion that adoption of the Code for Liner Conference would restore considerable equity to the American fleet
John W Griffith Chairman of Norton Lilly and Company told the panel session that he is amazed that American shipowners are not urging Congress to ratify the Code for Liner Conference to guarantee American ships an equitable share of international trade currently monopolized by the Soviets
Will E Leonard a member of the US International Trade Commission outlined what he sees as obstacles to expanded USSoviet trade These include growing Soviet indebtedness caused by sizable balanceoftrade deficits over the past two years withholding of Most
Favored Nation status by the US and restrictions on ExportImport Bank financing
The Peoples Republic of China could become a serious competitor in the international ship market within the next eight to ten years That information came from Nicholas H Ludlow Editor and Chief of Research for the National Council for USChina Trade Ludlow said that Red China is an increasingly important market for many US firms and the rate of growth in Americas trade with China has been rapid enough to make the US Chinas third largest trading partner in 1974 after Japan and Hong Kong and Chinas second largest supplier after Japan Ludlow feels that full USChina trade potential will not be realized until there is full recognition of Red China by this country
L H Theriot Director of the
US Department of Commerce Cuba Division told the panel session that the first USChina talks in 17 years are proceeding well and the prospects for agreement look good especially in the matter of fishing boundaries One factor that bodes well for the US Theriot feels is Cubas hard currency shortage created by overspending on imports following initial high sugar prices
Jack D Welsh Director of the Georgia Bureau of Industry and Trades International Division capped the second day panel session with the information that Jimmy Carters election to the Presidency greatly enhanced Georgias role in world trade He feels this has greatly diminished Georgias Gone With The Wind image Welsh said there are currently 80 to 100 thousand jobs in the state related to international trade

Georgias Newest Incentive to Business
AN ATLANTA FOREIGN TRADE ZONE
by Ms Betsey Bent Carter
Editor s note Georgias first Foreign Trade Zone located near Atlanta in Coweta County is slated to go into operation this summer Ms Betsey Bent Carter manager of the International Council Georgia Chamber of Commerce is manager of the Georgia Foreign Trade Zone Inc
GEORGIAS FIRST FOREIGN trade zone authorized in January adds an attractive incentive to the States economic and international development package The duty free zone officially known as the Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone is located 25 miles south of the Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport in the New Town of Shenandoah Thirtythree acres of the 1200 acre Shenandoah Industrial Park have been set aside for zone use
The primary advantage of a foreign trade zone is the stimulus it affords to the local and national economy The custom privileges available through trade zones contribute to the overall attractiveness of a states business climate Foreign trade zones are enclosed areas considered to be outside the customs territory of the United States but otherwise subject to federal state and local laws Although zones are primarily geared to the importer John J Da Ponte Executive Secretary of the ForeignTrade Zone Board makes the point that zones do not create imports Foreign trade zones encourage the final processing of goods in the United States market allowing operations to be handled in the US utilizing US labor parts and facilities that might normally be handled abroad for customs reasons In addition there are specialized uses available to the exporter
US foreign trade zones are direct descendants of
freeports established in the Hanseatic League of Northern Europe during the Middle Ages Similar freeports are still in existence in port cities in Europe Because of their origin and European terminology US foreign trade zones are frequently confused with the term Freeport as it is used in the United States In the United States a Freeport is under state jurisdiction and refers to inventory tax exemption on goods moving in interstate commerce whereas foreign trade zones are established under grants issued by the Foreign Trade Zones Board in Washington The central concept of a foreign trade zone extends exemptions or reductions of customs duties on foreign goods brought into a specified location The confusion over the two terms is compounded by the fact that Georgias Freeport Law was recently enacted by the General Assembly in the 1977 session in the form of a local option Freeport Local option means that a particular county or municipality may exempt with referendum approval a specified percentage of inventory tax on particular goods in transit The Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone located in Coweta County was authorized by the federal government in January 1977 the same month that Coweta County approved local option Freeport Freeport and foreign trade zone in the US are unrelated except for the fact that they both serve as economic incentives in many localities
In 1934 the United States Congress passed enabling legislation for the establishment of foreign trade zones in or adjacent to any United States port of entry where a public need can be stated The authority to establish foreign trade zones is vested in the ForeignTrade Zones Board in Washington DC chaired by the Secretary of Commerce serving with the Secretaries of the Army and the Treasury John J Da Ponte Jr serves as Executive Secretary and chief administrator for the Board There are presently 24 zones that have been approved 15 of which are now in operation
Foreign trade zones are operated as public utilities under US Customs supervision Some of the multitude of advantages zones afford international businessmen are listed below
1 Imported goods not otherwise prohibited by law may be brought into the zone without full customs formalities US quota restrictions duty and bonding are not applicable within the zone
2 Imports may be stored graded repacked relabeled assembled exhibited manufactured or otherwise manipulated without paying customs duties until the goods enter the US market thereby improving cash flow No duty is paid on goods that are reexported
3 Goods may be processed or manipulated to qualify for lowest duty and freight charges Payment may be avoided on damaged or substandard items
4 Goods may be stored indefinitely in the zone to await improved market conditions or to satisfy quota limitations
5 Buyers may inspect and sample goods displayed in a zone showroom before purchase This allows wholesale transactions to take place within the zone without the necessity of moving goods immediately
8
ANCHORAGE
6 Goods may be altered relabeled or remarked to meet federal or local requirements or to avoid fines for improper markings
7 Suppliers can keep imported goods in stock in the zone for their buyers without paying US customs duties until the goods are needed
8 Goods are considered exported after entering the zone with regard to federal excise tax and customs drawback
The foreign trade zone is the most flexible presently available vehicle for postponement or reduction of customs duties A more commonly used technique is called entry underbond Bonded goods may be stored in customsapproved facilities of which there are nine active in Atlanta and several elsewhere in the state There are eight different classes of bonded warehouses that offer many of the advantages of foreign trade zones In Georgia none are presently designed for manufacturing purposes In addition bonded procedures are used for transporting unentered goods from one port of entry to another This procedure may prove to be particularly useful in the case of the Atlanta inland foreign trade zone as goods may enter from a sea port of entry and be transported to the Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone inbond
The choice of an Atlanta site is not the first inland foreign trade zone Since the advent of containerization and an increased role for air cargo several years ago inland sites have become important In 1950 the option to manufacture within a zone was added to the federal regulations making an industrial park location important in many cases
In Georgia efforts to establish a foreign trade zone were initiated in 1965 when enabling legislation was passed in the General Assembly to accommodate a foreign trade zone for an oil refinery project in Savannah The project was not completed The Georgia Chamber of Commerce revived the effort in 1974 As a result of the Chambers study a nonprofit corporation Georgia Foreign Trade Zone Inc was established in 1975 to sponsor foreign trade zones in Georgia The Corporations Board is composed of three businessmen chosen from throughout the State and one representative each from the following six organizations Atlanta Regional Commission Georgia Chamber of Commerce Georgia Department of Industry and Trade Georgia Bankers Association Georgia Industrial Developers Association and the Georgia Ports Authority
After a wellpublicized search for an operator in Georgias three ports of entry Atlanta Brunswick and Savannah the Corporation selected Shenandoah Development Inc A contract was signed between Shenandoah and Georgia Foreign Trade Zone Inc in January 1976 The federal application was submitted and a public hearing was held in September Authorization was granted in January 1977
Shenandoah has easy access to Atlantas Hartsfield International Airport twentyfive miles The site is also adjacent to Interstate 85 Rail service to the zone will be provided by the Atlanta and West Point Railroad
a member of the Seaboard Coast Line family Four regular general commodity carriers serve Shenandoah on both an intra and interstate basis The New Town of Shenandoah is under development by a limited partnership composed of D Scott Hudgens Jr an Atlanta real estate developer Herman J Russell a buildercontractor also of Atlanta Alexander A Simon Jr president of Shenandoah Development Inc and W M C Development Company Dieter Franz is Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Shenandoah and will also manage the Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone
Shenandoahs first building project in connection with the zone will be a 50000 sq ft warehouse to be completed this summer and ready for tenant occupancy All manufacturing operations considered for the zone are examined by the ForeignTrade Zone Board for their impact on domestic industry and the US balance of payments Any operation judged to be against public national interest would be halted by the Board
Additional foreign trade zones can be set up in Georgias other two ports of entry Brunswick and Savannah Also subzone sites may be authorized in connection with an existing zone A subzone may be authorized for an individual firm when zone procedures are essential for an operation that is in the public interest but cannot be accommodated by the existing one One example of a subzone is an oil refinery in Hawaii
Foreign trade zones are particularly suitable for export processing when high dutied components are needed in the processing A cost benefit analysis on a product by product basis is necessary to determine the feasibility of zone use in each case At present about 1520 of zone activity in the United States is of export nature Zone exports may include 1 foreign goods transshipped to third countries 2 foreign goods processed here with domestic material and parts then reexported 3 goods produced in zones from a combination of domestic and foreign materials then exported and 4 domestic goods moved into a zone to achieve export status prior to their actual export This last benefit applies when some form of government credit accrues upon the exportation of certain products from the United States Customs drawback and federal excise tax rebates are two such government credits The National Association of Foreign Trade Zones is presently considering additional export uses for foreign trade zones
The Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone is scheduled to be in operation in late summer The schedule of rates will be published in conjunction with the ForeignTrade Zones Board within a few months It is anticipated that property rental costs for companies using the zone will be approximately 100 per sq ft higher than comparable property outside the zone This additional charge includes customs supervision security and maintenance for the zone A cost benefit analysis will be necessary to determine the economic feasibility of using a zone for a particular operation The Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone staff is prepared to assist in studying the potential benefits a zone might have to a particular companys operation

The JapanU S Southeast Association is an organization of Japanese businessmen representing the business community of Japan and the seven southeastern states which include Alabama Florida Georgia North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee and Virginia The Association was formed as a result of the visit to Atlanta of a prestigious Japanese Economic Mission in March 1975 The first official meeting of the Association was coordinated by Governor Busbee and held in Atlanta in April 1976 The next official meeting of the group will be in early October 1977 in Tokyo Japan
The purpose of the organization is to encourage and assist in trade and development between Japan and the Southeastern Region of the United States and to augment and improve cultural and educational relations between Japan and this Region
The Japanese business community well recognizes the importance of this growing Region of the United States and the Association has been instrumental in fostering trade and development between the two regions Senior members of the JapanU S Southeast Association recently visited Atlanta and Savannah in order to become better acquainted with the Region and to finalize many of the details for the Conference to be held in Tokyo on October 11 and 12
The visit of the Japanese Delegation to Savannah was particularly important as this was their first opportunity to visit the major port city in the Southeast and get a firsthand impression of the capability of the port for future trade and development possibilities in the Region

MARTA Steel Girder Cargo via Port of Savannah
THE FIRST STEEL girders destined for the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority MARTA project in Georgias Capital City are being imported through the Port of Savannah
Fortyone girders and 44 cases totalling 1100 tons were unloaded at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal during the first week of May Sixtythree girders and 24 cases totalling 1900 tons unloaded in the second shipment on May 19 and 20th at the GPAs Ocean Terminal and Garden City Terminal
The two shipments are part of an overall 3500 ton cargo of steel going to Bellamy Brothers and HenselPlielps Construction Company contractors for the MARTA project
The steel fabricator is Kawada Industries of Tokyo Japan Visio International of San Francisco Kawadas U S subsidiary is the supplier and importer Stevens Shipping and Terminal Company is the local stevedore for the cargo
One unusual aspect is the fact that the Technical Services Officer for Visio International is a woman 31yearold Mary Myers She oversees all phases of shipping loading and unloading the steel cargo
She worked as a model until eight years ago Asked how she happened to get into this line of work Myers explains that an extended hospital stay forced her to leave her last job and she applied for a job as an executive secretary with Visio When she started with the company there were two people in the office and an overload of work created by new contracts
Now there are five people in the office and she is second in command
Asked about male reaction to her occupying a position generally reserved for males Myers says she has encountered no hostility
Stevedores in New Orleans were rather standoffish when she took
her first ship to that port but they became good friends when she took her second ship there in April In contrast to the initial reaction of the New Orleans stevedores Myers says stevedores in Tacoma Washington were immediately friendly She describes them as super guys
She points out that she usually does not tell stevedores or longshoremen what to do Rather she approaches the stevedores as supervisors of the longshoremen and tells them what her area of concern is I try never to say there is a problem it is just my concern not a matter of giving orders or instructions Myers says
She vows that Womens Lib and the Equal Rights Amendment have lent little motivation to her work Myers says she cannot directly relate to the feminist movement basically because she is not a grouporiented person But in the sum total she concedes I think its done some good and I cant put it down even though I would not be involved in it personally
She revealed that she has encountered a certain degree of sex discrimination all her life she could not get a desired college scholarship despite having the grades and she is a second class citizen in her own family My brothers have priority because they are men Ive always had whats left over and thats okay Ive run into this all my life but it really hasnt gotten in the way For me it is just one more challenge
Myers was born in Richmond Virginia to a Maryland family and grew up in southern California She was once married and says she really kind of misses it because she enjoyed being married Id just rather have someone to look after she adds She also emphasized that until the right man comes along I dont mind being alone either Q

INTERNATIONAL COUNCIL HEARS ECONOMIST URGE OVERHAUL OF ECONOMIC MOTIVATION
AN ALTERNATIVE analysis of domestic economic problems in the 1970s and possible solutions were forthrightly presented to the Dr Tarpley Jr International Council of the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce during their annual meeting at the Savannah Inn and Country Club
Dr Fred A Tarpley Jr Professor of Economics College of Industrial Management Georgia Institute of Technology pulled no punches in reporting on The New State of the Economy In backgrounding Dr Tarpley pointed out that despite the five recessions between World War II and 1970 the US enjoyed 25 years of extremely good times
But since 1970 the US is coming out of one of the worst downturns since World War II Dr Tarpley contends this is because we have been eroding the longrun conditions which supported economic growth
This country came out of World War II according to Dr Tarpley with a tremendous amount of pentup demands for goods and services that people had done without for years
We also came out with some substantial advantages a backlog of economic innovations growing out of the 1920s and the war and cheap and abundant energy resources
But then this country embarked on a 25year impossible dream created Dr Tarpley contends by the nominal price remaining almost constant and the real price of depletable resources actually falling
But Tarpley warned the first rule of economics dictates that if you have a depletable resource that
you continue to consume in vast quantities at some time the price must go up
He explained that many of our basic products are in the mature state of the product life cycle and are not giving us the economic impetus that they gave us during much of the 25year period of prosperity Energy is no longer either cheap or abundant but has become expensive and scarce
Tarpley contends we have changed from a progrowth societal ethic to a conservation ethic in which we worry about equity in the marketplace and in terms of human resources and in terms of the environment more than we worry about production
According to Tarpley by the erosion of these three forces formerly working for us they have changed to work against the continued prosperity of our economy
Tarpley has five major suggestions as possible solutions to our economic problems
1 The fires of expectation must be banked and the American dream reformulated Society has to come to expect less in order to have more
2 The competitive process should be rekindled in all segments of the economy Particular attention should be directed to those areas of the economy which claim for a variety of reasons to be outside the competitive marketplace
3 The many new societal laws must be reexamined on a costbenefit basis The laws should be revised as needed to insure that society is receiving good value for the mas
sive commitment in resources being made
4 The United States should take the initiative in making the world market for oil more competitive
5 Economists become relevant and recognize and respond to the new realities of the American economy in the mid1970s
In the vital area of exports Dr Tarpley points out that while some industries did very well during the previous recession exports do not necessarily benefit by recession In many ways when modern economies such as the Japanese and European countries which have very close relationships with the government start to experience problems with domestic unemployment and recession they have a tendency to cut prices and try to dump many of their goods in the US The Japanese especially have had a policy of maintaining domestic employment many times by charging lower prices for export goods than they do for the same goods in their home markets
Dr Tarpley and Dr Fred C Alvine Professor of Marketing at Georgia Tech coauthored the book The New State of the Economy which summarizes a report they made to a Congressional Joint Economic Committee Tarpley is currently on a twoyear leave of absence from Georgia Tech working on the staff of the National Science Foundation
During a dinner address International Council members heard a report on Atlantas First Foreign Bank from J David C Burke Vice President and Manager of Barclays Bank International Ltd
AMONG THOSE attending the annual meeting of the International Council of the Georgia State Chamber of Commerce were left to right J David C Burke of Barclays Bank International Ltd and Mrs Burke Mrs Betsey Bent Carter International Council Manager Raiferd L Drew President of Lummus Industries Inc of Columbus Georgia and International Council Vice Chairman Mrs Anna Nichols and George J Nichols Executive Director Georgia Ports Authority

Commissioner Irvin
New Horizons from Peanut Flakes
GEORGIA AGRICULTURE Commissioner Tommy Irvin and Jim Davis of World Protein Corporation demonstrate diverse uses of new agricultural product
i h mr
Dimitff

k a wmJrn
PUBLIC ACCEPTANCE of an agricultural innovation expected to hit the market this fall could be the greatest thing to ever happen to Georgias economy That prediction came from Tommy Irvin Georgia Commissioner of Agriculture as he kicked off the 11th Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference in Savannah and he was referring to peanut flakes
Irvin is convinced that the successful marketing of the flake will greatly increase consumption of peanuts and help alleviate a crippling surplus Georgia produces nearly 45 percent of all peanuts grown in the United States
Developed by Dr J H Mitchell at Clemson University the flake has no peanut shell or taste but assumes the smell and taste of the food to which it is added This was aptly demonstrated by Irvin and Jim Davis of World Protein Corporation who joined Irvin in explaining the many uses to which the peanut flake can be adapted
For the benefit of reporters and photographers Davis mixed two dishes utilizing the peanut flake Both the bacon and onion and tuna spreads contained approximately 94 percent peanut flake Tasters from the news media declared the spreads excellent and tasty
World Protein Corporation is currently building a plant at Thomasville Georgia to produce the peanut flakes commercially
Both Irvin and Davis anticipate wide dotmestic use
of the peanut flake in snack foods and bread The flake increases the protein value of food without increasing the cost
They also revealed that discussions are underway with the US Department of Agriculture on the possible use of the peanut flake in the school lunch program It is also seen as a boom to attempts to provide balanced nutritious diets in undeveloped countries Domestically the flake could turn junk foods into valuable sources of nutrition
Davis said that World Protein is negotiating with 20 food companies considering the use of peanut flakes as part of their existing products
Irvin pointed out that the peanut flake can give a muchneeded boost to US agriculture and farm products can be a major factor in establishing a favorable balance of payments to pay for imported oil
Irvin said US agricultural exports totalled 23 Billion Dollars in 1974 almost double the figures for 1972 He added that Georgia is currently exporting about 400 Million Dollars in commodities annually 77 Million of it in feed grains 74 Million in tobacco 65 Million in peanuts and 64 Million in soybeans
Irvin emphasized that the potential in agriexports is great In the US one acre in three under cultivation goes into exports For each One Billion Dollars in agriculture exports 50thousand new jobs are created

The
Executive
Corner
The ports industry is currently engaged in consideration of recurring proposals to bring maritime school graduates into the industry on a regular basis as trainees Many feel that a formal program of this nature would not be feasible at this time
But we would caution against precipitous rejection of the concept primarily because of an experience we had at the Georgia Ports Authority this summer
The center of that experience was Midshipman 2nd Class George E Edenfield a cadet at the U S Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point New York who fulfilled a graduation requirement with an Internship at the GPA Terminals in Savannah
The 20 year old Edenfield approached the Internship with a comprehensive interest and singularity of purpose that impressed veteran staff members and employees of the GPA Many admitted that his youthful enthusiasm and inquisitiveness were like a breath of fresh air
Edenfield has maintained an overall grade average of 302 which has kept him on the Honor Roll for five of the six quarters he has spent at the Academy
Edenfield has expressed an intense interest in relations between people of different countries and the need for them to relate on an intellectual level as an alternative to war as a solution of world
problems He has some practical experience in the peopletopeople arena during his junior year in high school Edenfield spent a year in Brazil under the Student Exchange Program of the American Field Service
We feel Edenfield typifies the dedicated maritime student The U S Merchant Marine Academy is highly selective in the young men and women who participate in the program of this four year accredited educational institution The Academy and its dedicated staff produce the highly qualified deck and engine officers who supply the vital occupational abilities required by demands of the Merchant Marine and other sectors of the maritime industry
These young men and women the best in academic and professional training are highly sought after by the maritime industry
Those of us in the maritime industry should take a closer look at this precious asset of our industry and reaffirm our support of it All of us engaged in the many facets of international trade should initiate Summer Internships for maritime cadets They bring youth ambition and new ideas to an industry that needs change to maintain a foothold in the world of competitive commerce

43 MILLION FACILITY
GRAIN EXPORT
TERMINAL
NEARS COMPLETION
A 43 million dollar expansion of the Georgia Ports Authoritys MultiProduct Dry Bulk handling terminal will add ten silos to handle corn and soybeans and other small grain for export to world markets
State Senator Sam P McGill of Washington Georgia Chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee Senator Bill English of Swainsboro and Senator Henry P Russell of Boston members of the committee predict that Georgia grain farmers will benefit considerably from the 12000 ton capacity silos at the Garden City Terminal
For the first time according to Chairman McGill Georgia farmers will be able to ship grain soybeans and corn to foreign markets directly from a Georgia port at a lower cost without having to ship by rail to South Carolina or Alabama in order to go through the ports of Charleston or Mobile This will provide Georgia agriculture with another export market
Senators English and Russell pointed out to Georgia Ports Authority officials during a recent onsite inspection of the grain export facility that the silos will also help relieve the railroad car shortage and the rail jam that occurs at Mobile during the grain shipment season
Senator Russell contends that grain prices should increase 10 to 25 cents per bushel for south Georgia farmers because of the closer shipping point
During a briefing session Senate Agriculture Committee members were told by George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority that these grain silos add yet another dimension to Georgias growing role in international trade which is currently pumping more than one billion dollars a year into our states economy
The specialized storage facilities project is part of the GPAs 52 million dollar port expansion program currently nearing completion
It is the largest port improvement project in the thirty year history of the Georgia Ports Authority
As the roof takes shape on the extended flat storage area the ten silos start skyward
Technical Data On New Grain Facilities

The grain storage structures are of slip form concrete construction
consisting of ten main storage bins plus six interstice bins The concrete headhouse structure includes seven additional work bins to serve as cleaners and dryer
The two primary grain elevators are sized at 15000 bushels per hour and supplemented by two additional 6000 bushel per hour wet and dry grain legs A 6000 cubic foot dust bin allows separate collection of dust and screenings The entire conveying system provides full flexibility for all major operational activities at an average hourly handling rate of
15000 bushels 450 tons per hour
In addition to providing the basic storage function supplemental services are available to upgrade commodities being received using the modern high ef
ficiency cleaner and dryer The cleaner is a six deck Texas Shaker by Triple S at 15000 bushels per hour The dryer is an Aero Glide
2000 bushels per hour capacity
A separate receiving station is provided for the grain elevator to handle incoming shipments by rail or truck with a drivethru truck dumper with scale printer located adjacent to the rail unload pit This Kewanee dumper is sized to accommodate highway trucks including semitrailers up to fiftyfive feet overall and utilizes the same takeaway equipment as the rail pit The takeaway equipment consists of a Reddler Enmasse conveyor feeding a 36 troughed belt which transports the grain to the headhouse bucket elevators Nominal capacity of this

Even though we have kept pace and then some with the growth of containerization bulk materials and LASH shipping we havent let up for a minute on breakbulk Fast loading or unloading heavy lift capability special handling for unusual commodities and roundtheclock tight security are some of the reasons our breakbulk tonnage keeps growing Extensive dockside transit sheds rail and truckservice speed shipments in and out at favorable freight rates
Since 1819 when the SS Savannah sailed from here the first steamship to cross any ocean Savannah and Brunswick have nurtured an unbroken tradition of excellent breakbulk service The kind of service you want

The Arrival of the MS TSU Initiates Weekly Far Eastern Service
The unlimited potential of international trade is the topic of discussion during a reception aboard the MS TSU on her Maiden Voyage call at The Port of Savannah in June Left to right Frank M Cangemi Vice President Barber Steamship Line Captain S M Aksnes Fred Whelan Director of Trade Development Georgia Ports A uthority R T Rodgers General Manager Import Department KMart Corporation Norton Melaver Chairman Savannah Port A uthority and Frank Rossiter Savannah Mayor ProTern
A new weekly Far East service to the Port of Savannah has been announced by the Barber Blue Sea Line BBS
The announcement came in a press conference aboard the MS TSU during her Maiden Voyage call at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal The TSU is the first of ten new Comboclass vessels being built for BBS to replace some of their existing fleet
The ten new Comboclass vessels will supplement similar vessels already operating successfully in BBS service to Panama East Coast USA and East Canada
Frank M Cangemi Vice President of Barber Steamship Line General Agents for Barber Blue Sea Line said that in keeping with BBS philosophy of catering to all transportation modes the vessels will accomodate unitized general cargo containers heavy lifts rolling stock refrigerated cargoes and bulk liquids in speciallybuilt deeptanks
Cangemi told the news media that with the two deeptanks capacity of 800 tons of liquid BBS hopes to cater to the local liquid latex trade

ANCHORAGE
Since Savannah has a liquid latex facility Cangemi pointed out latex could be discharged here while the ships general cargo is being unloaded
Cangemi expressed the hope that on her return trip in about four months the TSU may be carrying a cargo of liquid latex for the Port of Savannah
The new vessels will provide improved loading capacities to all customers including 550600 TEUs per sailing Since they are selfsustaining the new vessels can call ports which do not have container cranes
Our commitment to Savannah according to Cangemi is in keeping with our basic philosophy that we shall continue to serve ports on a direct basis which we believe is what the customer requires

SAVANNAHS RIVER STREET PROJECT DEDICATED
A standing room only crowd jammed a portion of Savannahs renovated River Street for official dedication ceremonies in early June
Bad weather last winter delayed completion of the seven million dollar Urban Renewal project for several months But the inconvenience of cold weather bulldozers and holes in River Street were all left behind as the public joined local state and federal officials in dedicating the halfmile long project
Possibly the highlight of the dedicatory ceremonies was the reading by Savannah Waterfront Association President Tony Ryan of a resolution officially naming the six block area the John P Rousakis Riverfront Plaza in recognition of the Savannah Mayors tireless efforts toward completion of the project
I accept this honor for all the people who made it possible Rousakis responded But mostly I accept it for the people of Savannah For it was these people whose pride and love for this city has saved her restored her and beautified her and today crowned her with this beautiful waterfront
Acknowledging the Port of Savannahs historic maritime connection Rousakis asked the crowd where else in the world could you find such a scene with these beautifully restored buildings in the background while a train comes down the track playing Dixieland music and out on the river a Russian container ship steams by
There was no routine ribboncutting instead the 2550 foot bunting stretched the entire length of the restored Riverfront and 18 local state and federal officials joined in the chore of snipping the ribbon
More than 55 arts and crafts shops taverns and restaurants galleries and museums and boutiques are open on River Street and operating in what were once bays and bins of warehouses for cotton and naval stores These attractions are enhanced by three boats operated by Captain Sam Stevens offering harbor tours excursions and charters
Officials think the 2550foot long ribbon used in the formal dedication of the River Street Project is a candidate for the worlds record It extended for the entire halfmile stretch of the project Below is part of the record crowd that turned out to participate in the fruition of the 7000000 Urban Renewal Project that put a new face on Savannahs historic waterfront

Savannah Distribution Center For PIER 1 IMPORTS
Pier 1 Imports has opened a Savannah Distribution Center according to a joint announcement by Paul Martin Vice President of Pier 1 Imports and Norton Melaver Chairman of the Savannah Port Authority
The Distribution Center went into operation on July 1st in a leased 99000 square foot warehouse in the Georgetown Industrial Park Larry McCombs pictured above in front of the warehouse of Houston Texas is manager of the Savannah facility which will distribute merchandise to Pier 1 retail stores in the southeastern United States
Pier 1 specializes in decorative home furnishings accents and gifts which are imported from every continent in the world Import items for distribution in the southeastern United States will move in through the Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central at the Garden City Terminal
After careful study according to Martin the Port of Savannah was chosen for location of the distribution center because of the importance to Pier 1 of an efficient distribution system and the lower freight rates made possible by the Savannah location
Martin revealed that Pier 1 officials were assisted in evaluating Savannah as a potential site for the distribution center by Sanford Ulmer Executive Director of the Savannah Port Authority and Assistant Director Miles Greer and James I
Newsome Jr Director of Operations for the Georgia Ports Authority
Melaver expressed confidence that Pier 1 will find the Georgetown Industrial Park to be an ideal location for their southeastern distribution center
In underscoring the cooperation between the Savannah Port Authority and the Georgia Ports Authority Melaver stressed the importance of such teamwork in expanding Savannahs industrial potential
Pier 1 became an independent company in 1966 according to Martin and expanded to become the nations largest import retailer The 100 Million Dollar corporation today is listed on the New York Stock Exchange
The Savannah facility is the sixth major distribution center established to serve the 280 Pier 1 stores in the US and Canada
Twenty persons will initially be employed This is expected to increase with the opening of additional retail stores to be served by the Savannah facility
Asked about a Pier 1 store in Savannah Martin indicated there is a strong possibility of such an eventuality since the company plans to expand by 15 to 20 stores in the south
In addition to its import retail outlets Pier 1 owns and operates Wolfe Nurseries Pottery Shack and Pottery Plus specialty retail stores and Southwest Textiles of Dallas The company also has interests in manufacturing facilities for pillows cork candles and furniture

A PROCLAMATION
National Port Week 1977
From the President of the United States
I

NATIONAL PORT WEEK 1977 comes at a time when the traditional ocean and river gateways of the United States are accommodating the largest volume of waterborne commerce in history As the worlds greatest trading nation we appropriately recognize the importance of our ports in making possible the efficient and economical transfer of cargo between marine and overland carriers They play a key role in expanding our nations foreign commerce and are essential elements in national and local economic development Annually over 18 billion tons of foreign and domestic commerce move through out port gateways
Each port vitally affects the development of the community where it is located An estimated 13 million Americans are
directly or indirectly employed in portrelated activities Port activities help create jobs elsewhere in our nation in agriculture industry trade finance and distribution
As our commerce continues to expand marine ports will have an everincreasing impact on our future prosperity With this in mind I welcome the opportunity of this special observance to urge all Americans to honor these fellow citizens in labor industry and government who operate the numerous ports along our inland waterways and four seacoasts

River
By William J Jakubsen
Project Manager Rivers Harbors Georgia Ports Authority
THE SAVANNAH RIVER from the Atlantic Ocean to Augusta Georgia is coming of age The Corps of Engineers has awarded a dredging contract to Parkhill Goodloe Company Inc out of Jacksonville Florida for work to be performed between mile 271 and 1832 on the Savannah River below Augusta The navigable ninefoot project depth should be completed in November of this year and make Augusta truly an Inland Gateway to World Trade
The improvements on the Savannah River will continue to guarantee and improve the industrial growth of the city The US Corps of Engineers has an expanded maintenance effort planned The operation and maintenance plan which is expected to be accomplished with existing authority is comprised of dredging bank revetment and construction of pile dikes It is anticipated that cost of accomplishment of this work would be phased over a fiveyear period in addition to the usual operation and maintenance costs On August 8 1977 President Carter passed the 1978 Public Works Appropriation Bill Included in this bill was 1330000 for the operation and maintenance of the Savannah River for 1978
The Georgia Ports Authoritys Augusta river terminal is equipped with the latest facilities for the handling of bulk cargoes At the terminal there is a berthing area 200 feet long and a 40000 square foot transit shed equipped with a shuttle conveyor system capable of discharging dry bulk commodities
at the rate of 250 tons an hour
The Augusta terminal offers ample rooom for open or ground storage dock side and transit shed rail service and motor freight docking at the transit shed The terminal is ideally situated for the handling and distribution of bulk commodities and any other type cargo
The Georgia Ports Authoritys industrial area along the Savannah River at Augusta offers 100 acres of prime river front sites Leases located on the Authoritys Augusta property include Modern Welding Corporation Richmond Bonded Warehouse Corporation Burris Chemical Inc Reddick Company and Automotive Recycling Company In addition to the river rail and highway transportation this location also offers complete and economical utilities
The Augusta river terminal is located 125 miles north of Savannah one of Georgias two seaports Transfer facilities from barge to ocean going vessels are available at Savannah allowing Augusta industries a gateway to world trade and all eastern industrial centers via the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterways
World markets are not foreign to Augusta Existing as a river settlement as early as 1776 Augusta then known as Ft Monroe became a busy trading post on the Savannah River It was the focal point for the rapidly expanding land and river commerce in this part of the New World
An oasis in the wilderness this frontier town grew and prospered
rapidly and in 1735 was given official status by the founders of the Colonies and renamed Augusta in honor of the wife of the Prince of Wales
Following the American Revolution Augusta boomed into the rapid expansion of the tobacco economy Tobacco was followed by King Cotton and by 1820 the expanding city was the terminus for countless river boats barges wagon trains and traders all carrying the staples and produce of the interior to the sea
Todays Augusta is a far cry from the original river side trading post of yesteryear Today Augusta is Georgias fifth largest city Since 1957 capital outlays on new and expanded industry in Augusta through 1976 have amounted to 1 billion Nineteen thousand jobs have been added since 1950 to Aiken Richmond and Columbia counties
This emergence of Augusta as one of the souths strongest industrial magnets was triggered by the Continental Can Companys decision to locate a 45 million paper mill in the city in 1960 This giant is one of more than half a dozen paper mills and chemical plants which have moved to the inland port in recent years
Sustained growth is the best indicator of a communitys business and industrial climate The climate of Augusta is great The renaissance of the Savannah River will greatly expand the industrial potential for Georgias second leading industrial city Augusta

GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE TOURS PORT
Governor George Busbee foresees a rosy economic future for the State of Georgia and he maintains the ports system is one of the most essential segments in the states economic development program
Busbee outlined the correlation during a press conference following a tour of Georgia Ports Authority facilities in the Port of Savannah and extended briefings by members and staff of GPA
Busbee said much of the discussions dealt with G P A budget requests for Phase II of the ports expansion program which the Governor will consider for inclusion in his budget recommendations to the General Assembly While hesitant about applying a definite price tag Busbee revealed that GPA Authority and staff members are looking at about 24 million in projects at this time which is not
a final recommendation from them but its in that neighborhood Approximately 52 million was earmarked for Phase I of the expansion program the largest in the 33year history of the Georgia Ports Authority But as it happened Busbee said the bonds that we authorized to sell have generated even more because of the good bond market so that weve done really over 60 million in projects here Busbee expressed pleasure at what he termed the very efficient operation of the Georgia Ports Authority and he added Im also pleased with the 24 million they made last year in the operation Busbee emphasized that the ports system is an essential part of the states quest for international trade and the overall economic development of Georgia
Asked about the percentage of
foreign industry coming here as a result of state efforts toward international trade Busbee said it is significant
But he added that it is not a great percentage compared to domestic industry that has been attracted to the state When he took office in 1974 Busbee said there were 138 foreignbased industries in Georgia and today there are 250 from 22 countries Also Busbee pointed out there are currently seven international banks in the state
Summing up on economic development and the part played by international trade Busbee revealed that Georgia now has more than 2 billion in new and expanded plants which represents 80000 new jobs Georgias future as the hub of the Sunbelt is just about unlimited Governor Busbee concluded

PORT SUBCOMMITTEE TOURS GEORGIA PORTS
House Port Subcommittee members and top House leaders climaxed a tour of Georgias three inland and two deepwater ports with a prediction of continued enthusiastic legislative support of capital expenditures for the Georgia Ports Authority
Pointing to his reputation as one of the biggest boosters of the states ports Georgia House Speaker Tom Murphy said he feels We have to continue to develop and expand the port facilities because they bring more and more money all the time into our state
Echoing the Speakers thoughts Joe Frank Harris Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee told the news media They have always done well in the past and I dont think were going to let them down now
State Rep Herb Jones Chairman of the House Port Subcommittee pointed out that the ports of this state have more than a 2 billion economic impact on the state Jones added that the GPA has the greatest economic impact of any single state agency
Jones told a news conference that capital expenditures proposed by GPA include a warehouse at GPA facilities in Brunswick further development of the Colonels
Island industrial tract and a warehouse at the Inland Barge Terminal at Bainbridge
State Rep Dean Auten of Brunswick described this as the best news in many years Auten said he is encouraged by the fact that the GPA is dedicated and moving ahead toward development of the Brunswick port and Colonels Island He pointed to the 16 million requested to develop warehousing for the bulk facility at the Brunswick port
Chairman Jones indicated the expansion projects could mean additional employment but equally important Jones said is that they raise the potential for allied industries to support ports operations
The House Port Subcommittee inspection tour is designed to brief and update lawmakers on the progress of expansion projects under Phase I of the GPA capital improvements program
George J Nichols Executive Director of the GPA said projects in Phase I will be completed in this calendar year He revealed that the GPA has not yet determined how much of the Phase II funds will be sought in the upcoming 1978 legislative session

BUCYRUSERIE POWER SHOVELS FOR BRAZIL VIA GPA
Leading manufacturer of mining equipment continues to utilize the Port of Savannah to expedite worldwide shipments
The company that furnished the lions share of the steam shovels used in digging the Panama Canal is today one of the worlds leading manufacturers of mining and construction machinery some of which is exported through the Port of Savannah
Much of the groundwork for the BucyrusErie Companys present position as industry leader was laid during the years between 1902 and 1911 when the company was a principal participant in major excavating projects including in addition to the Panama Canal project supplying placer dredges for the California gold fields and dredges for the enlargement of the New York State Barge Canal
Bucyrus Foundary and Manufacturing Company was founded in 1880 at Bucyrus Ohio for the manufacture of machinery and railroad cars The national economic collapse of 1893 created a capital shortage which threw the company into receivership in 1895 Bucyrus Company evolved from the reorganization efforts
The stability of the orders growing out of the Panama Canal and other excavation projects stimulated plant expansion and gave the Bucyrus Company valuable experience in large orders and production
In 1927 the Bucyrus Company merged with the Erie Steam Shovel Company the countrys foremost manufacturer of small excavators
ANCHORAGE
BucyrusErie devoted virtually its entire production output to the war effort between 1942 and 1945 including the design and production of special ordinance equipment primarily gun carriages A 2 million expansion program following World War II augmented BucyrusEries capacity for production of contractorsize cranes and excavators
BucyrusErie is engaged in erection of power plants dams bridges and mass transit systems and in all types of commercial and residential construction and in surface mining of coal phosphate iron and copper and other minerals

W D Trippe rightfully deserves the title of Mr Georgia Ports Authority
Busbee also unveiled a color portrait of Trippe which will hang in the Authority board room at GPA headquarters in Savannah Busbee revealed that Trippe is the first person in the history of GPA to be so honored
House Speaker Tom Murphy said that Trippes retirement from the
Authority will not mark the end of his efforts on behalf of GPA Murphy assured everyone that Trippe will continue to use his considerable influence in state government to promote the progress of the Georgia Ports Authority
Don A Grantham outgoing Chairman of the GPA said Trippes 22 years of dedicated service has been unequaled in the history of the GPA
Any one of those 22 years stands as a benchmark to anyone who follows because each of those years bear the hallmark of W D Trippe
Trippes response was simple but eloquent Any opportunity I have to be of service to Georgia Ports Authority you can be assured that Ill be there
A1 Holloway President Pro Tern of the State Senate and other state legislative leaders watched as Trippe was presented a beautiful ships clock mounted in wood and properly engraved to mark his illustrious career with the Georgia Ports Authority

On our recent trip to participate in observance of the 10th anniversary of the Georgia Ports Authority Far Eastern Trade Development Office see story on page 12 this issue I was struck by the vitality of business in the Far East
In Korea the Land of the Morning Calm I was overwhelmed with the industrial growth of that nation The rebirth of Pohang the mammoth blast furnaces of Posco feeding the worlds most modern integrated steel mill the miracle of Ulsan with its petrochemical complex automobile factory and the worlds largest single onecompany shipyard Korean exports are projected to increase to 10 billion with imports equaling that plateau this year
The Republic of China is now well into its Big Ten development projects which
will expand their economy to even higher levels Export sales were up 52 percent last year over 1975 Import sales increased by 275 percent in the same period bringing the total volume of foreign trade to 157 million up 39 percent over 1975
The Ports of Georgia enjoy a larger volume of trade with the Far East than any South Atlantic port including some 36 percent of our container cargo originating in Japan
It should also be noted that there are ever increasing signs of the emergence of Southeast Asia as an economic force in that region of the world
The current economic ills besetting some FarEastern countries will I believe be offset eventually by the industrious nature of their people and by the inherent strength of their economic structures

Downey W Walker at right President of Zenith Shipping and Trading of Tuscaloosa Alabama checks out some of the 50000 cases containing 18 million fresh eggs enroute to three Middle Eastern countries with Tommy Irvin Georgia Agriculture Commissioner and Theresa Yarbrough of Savannah Miss Coastal Agriculture as the record cargo moved out of the Port of Savannah
RECORD FRESH EGG EXPORT THROUGH PORT OF SAVANNAH
The largest single shipment of fresh eggs from the United States moved out through the Port of Savannah destined for three MidEastern countries
18 million fresh eggs were shipped to Georgia Ports Authority facilities in 70 refrigerated trucks The eggs came from 25 or 30 producers in 16 states from as far away as Texas Iowa and Michigan
Packed in reinforced containers the one and a half million dozen eggs were loaded into refrigerated spaces aboard the PL AY A BLANCA and stacked 10 to 12 cases high Because the reefer spaces were maintained at a temperature of 37 to 42 degrees the 700000 export cargo arrived at its destination in 21 days fresh and ready for consumption
The egg shipment was bound for Hodeida North Yemen Dubai United Arab Emirates and Kuwait US eggs are reportedly preferred in that area of the Mideast because of high federal grading standards
The wholesale price of the delivered eggs overseas will be 100 to 150 per dozen
The egg shipment was assembled by United Egg Producers headquartered in Atlanta According to Greg Murch Marketing Director for United Egg this shipment represents about one tenth of one days egg production in the US
Murch says that Zenith Shipping and Trading Company at Tuscaloosa Albama which chartered the freighter for the cargo acted as middleman by purchasing the shipment from United
Egg and arranging the sale to the Middle East buyer
Eller and Company were agents and stevedores for the vessel and W G Carroll Inc were freight forwarders for the shipment
Murch revealed that discussions are currently underway on a possible larger shipment of fresh eggs to the Mideast by the first of the year It is our goal to set up regular sales to the Middle East each month according to Murch who explained We have too many eggs in this country and we have to move some to get our prices above cost of production
Murch added that a drop of nearly 25 percent in domestic wholesale egg prices has made Americanproduced eggs more competitive than eggs from other large egg producing countries

Blue Bird Body Company of Fort Valley Georgia already one of the largest exporters through the Port of Savannah expects to greatly increase their traffic within the next year
That optimistic forecast came from H D Doug Taylor Traffic Manager for Blue Bird Sizeable quantities of Blue Bird school and transit buses are exported through Georgia Ports Authority facilities at Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal
Taylor revealed that a new unit built by Blue Bird a minibus will go on stream this winter
Blue Bird according to Taylor is quite thrilled with the expansion going on in the Port of Savannah He singled out the innovative 600 ton RoRo Ramp recently completed on the perimeter of Container Central which he feels will mean an increase in the number of RoRo ships calling the Port of Savan
nah and the LASH Terminal which recently underwent a 2 million expansion at the mouth of the Savannah River Taylor said Blue Bird is looking into the possibility of utilizing the LASH concept in the export of their buses
So Taylor said all this would certainly increase the traffic through the Port of Savannah as far as Blue Bird is concerned

Georgia Ports Authority at Brunswick
New Bulk Commodities Unloaded

As a result of the combined efforts of United States Gypsum Marine Port Terminals Inc and the Georgia Ports Authority a new bulk commodity is being handled at Georgia Ports Authority facilities at the Port of Brunswick
The MVGYPSUM COUNTESS tied up at the GPAs Berth 2 in November and discharged 12000 net tons of bulk landplaster which went into storage in GPA facilities
The landplaster came from Canada and will be used by peanut farmers in the state of Georgia Similar to fertilizer landplaster accelerates germination in peanuts Approximately 150000 net tons of the substance is used annually in Georgia According to John A Stubbs President of Marine Port Terminals 24 percent or 36000 net tons of that annual total will come through GPA facilities at the Port of Brunswick
Trucks will load directly at the bulk landplaster terminal and then transport the commodity to customers in southeast Georgia
The GYPSUM COUNTESS is a selfunloading vessel which discharged via a side port at the stern
Caldwell Shipping Company of Jacksonville are agents for the vessel
Stubbs praised the strong cooperative effort in introducing the new commodity to GPA facilities in the Port of Brunswick He singled out Board Chairman Bob Miles and the staff of GPA James A Bishop Director and Steven G Jackson Secretary of Marine Port Terminals and Charles Stockebrand of United States Gypsum for their efforts
The MVGYPSUM COUNTESS ties up at GPA Berth prior to starting to unload a cargo of landpiaster which is used in growing peanuts
An almost authomated vessel the GYPSUM COUNTESS utilizes a side port at the stern for unloading the bulk landplaster
The landplaster can be unloaded directly from the side port into trucks which will transport the germination agent to peanut farmers in southeast Georgia

JUTE IMPORTS VIA GEO I PLAY VITAL ROL 1
Four heavy rolls of jute are unloaded with ships tackle at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal in the Port of Savannah prior to being sent on to the carpet industry The baled jute in the foreground is used in the furniture industry for upholstering
Georgias carpet and rug industry the largest in the United States is currently recovering from the recession of 197475 All reports indicate the industry is operating at about the same level as in the second half of 1972
The most reliable economic barometers point to good sustainable growth rates averaging about nine percent per year for the remainder of the decade with peak production levels achieved in 1973 being reached again in 1977
Jute material a type of burlap is the raw material for the backing of many carpets and it arrives at Georgia Ports Authority facilities in the Port of Savannah aboard freighters from India and Bangladesh
From here the jute is shipped to the many carpet mills concentrated
in the southern United States There are more than 250 of those carpet mills in Georgia alone and the state manufactures 55 percent of all carpets and rugs produced in the United States
Once the jute arrives at the mills the tufting system by which 95 percent of all domestic carpets are produced today will process the jute into components of the completed carpets as primary and secondary backing
Because jute backing has more than twice the bulk of its competitors according to the Jute Carpet Backing Council it adds substance and heft to carpets
Some inpressive figures have been compiled which underscore the massive quantities of jute material that moved through Georgia Ports Authority facilities

O RGIA PORTS L E IN CARPET INDUSTRY

in Fiscal 1977
185000 12foot wide rolls of jute weighing 106766 net tons moved in import through the Port of Savannah
That amounts to more than
69000 linear miles or 158 square miles which if divided up would be 106 square yards for every Georgian
If laid end to end there was enough to go around the world more than two times
The dollar value was almost 85 and a half million or more than 328000 per work day
The jute and carpet industry has a healthy impact on the states economy The 30300 employees place it third in Georgias employment spectrum and its annual payroll of 206 million is the fourth largest in the state
If the industry has its way it may eventually come up with at least a partial solution to the energy problem
The City Council in Dalton Georgia known as the carpet capital of the world has applied for a federal grant to study the feasibility of making energy from carpet and jute scraps The plan calls for the scraps to be burned as fuel to produce steam for use by local industries
While some of the scraps are currently used as toy stuffing most of it is thrown away as unusable waste If tests are successful and the Environmental Protection Agency gives the goahead carpet and jute scraps could make an invaluable contribution in the production of muchneeded energy
An operator and his forklift hustle a massive role of jute from the dock into a transit shed The jute rolls like other cargo are stored in the transit shed for a specified short time and then are either shipped out by rail or truck or transferred to warehouses in the Georgia Ports Authority facilities

GPA FAR EAST TRADE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE 10th ANNIVERSARY
Top level members of shipping trade and business in Japan and the Far East joined state officials and business leaders of Georgia in marking the 10th Anniversary of the Georgia Ports Authority Far Eastern Trade Development Office in Tokyo Japan Receptions marking the occasion were held in Tokyo Nagoya Osaka Taipei Hong Kong and Seoul
George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority told a press conference in Tokyo The Ports of Georgia are fortunate indeed to enjoy the greatest volume of trade with Japan of any port on the South Atlantic Currently some 36 percent or our container cargo originates in Japan which is a significant contributing factor in making us an integral part of the phenomenal growth of the southeastern United States
In introducing Governor George Busbee Nichols emphasized that The people of the State of Georgia are proud that our Chief Executive is extensively involved with international trade and aware of its importance in the modern world
GOV BUSBEES REMARKS It is indeed an honor for me to be in a land whose beauty is exceeded only by the warmth and gracious charm of its people
The heritage and culture of Japan are a glorious tribute to your past and an honored companion of your future
Your industrial revolution of the past 32 years is without question a manmade miracle of the 20th century
Your expertise in international trading stands as the textbook for all who would seek global markets
As we mark the tenth anniversary of Georgias first Far Eastern Trade Development Office I think it would be appropriate for me to enumerate some of the progress in development of a climate for international trade in the State of Georgia in the past decade
The foreign government representation in Georgia has increased greatly during the past ten years We presently have eight ConsulatesGeneral two Consulates twentynine Honorary Consuls eleven trade officials and one Chamber of Commerce further expanding the overall international industrial and economic development of the state and the region
It would appear that by early 1978 direct air service between London and Atlanta will be a reality This should have a significant impact on furthering the economic growth of the state and the region
The Atlanta Airport is currently the second largest in the world and with
present expansions we would expect to become the worlds number one airport in the early 1980s
At present there are estimated to be 280 facilities of international companies in the state representing twentythree countries This includes fiftyfive Japanese companies Those facilities range from relatively small sales offices to major manufacturing plants The majority is in the salesservice distribution area
Manufacturing investment by overseas companies is estimated to be in excess of a billion dollars with eighty manufacturing facilities of overseas firms in the state These facilities employ more than 15000 Georgians in their process
All this is a most dramatic increase When I took office in 1975 there were approximately 140 facilities That figure has doubled during my administration
Georgias first Foreign Trade Zone is under construction at Shenadoah in Coweta County It will utimately support the international activities of the metropolitan Atlanta area Over the long haul this should have a dramatic effect not only in increased air freight but in increased ocean freight utilizing the Foreign Trade Zone facility
We may look to the future for other Foreign Trade Zones either in Savannah or Brunswick for specific projects when indicated
In its 1976 session the Georgia General Assembly approved legislation to enable international banks to operate facilities in the state more effectively As a result there are five such banks in operation at this time Barkleys Bank of London CreditSwiss of Zurich Bank of Nova Scotia of Toronto the Bank of Tokyo and the Algemene Bank of the Netherlands A second Swiss bank has been approved for operation in the state
We would welcome additional banks from Japan and the Far East to complement the existing facility of the Bank of Tokyo
Although the World Congress Center has been open for a relatively short time it has already demonstrated the perceptiveness of the state in funding it
An increasing number of highly diversified shows and exhibits at the Center is beginning to attract a growing number of visitors and businessmen from overseas
As an example a show is commencing at about this time midOctober for Intercom 77 the first major international telecommunications show at the Center At least two major Japanese companies are exhibiting in this show
We see the World Congress Center as a major facility in the future as a viable handmaiden of international trade
And last but certainly not least in the international structure of our state are the shipping facilities of the Georgia Ports Authority
The terminals of the Georgia Ports Authority rank as the most modern in the United States They serve as the number one gateway to southeastern US markets
They rank as the number one point of entry for Far Eastern goods moving through the South Atlantic range But we are not satisified with that leadwe want to pull further ahead in that leadership
To achieve this goal is the purpose of our mission As a foundation for this achievement we continue to expand and improve our port facilities We are aware that this alone is not the answer to the increased flow of trade between our two countries
We found the answer a decade ago when we opened our first Trade Development office here in Tokyo
The purpose of that office then and now is to serve the shipper exporter and importer and steamship lines moving these goods to and from our shores Service to the shipper and steamship lines is not just a slogan with the Ports Authority but a total commitment
In closing I reiterate that commitment How can we best serve you
Editors Note
John D Welsh Director of the International Division of the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade was a member of the Georgia delegation participating in the 10th Anniversary of the GPA s Far Eastern Trade Development Office in Tokyo The following is his report on the background of the JapanUS Southeast Association and the groups meeting held during the Anniversary
The JapanUS Southeast Association was conceived and developed as a result of a visit by a prestigious group of Japanese businessmen headed by Mr Norishiki Hasagawa which visited the United States in March of 1975 with stops in Houston Atlanta Washington and New York The principle purpose of their visit at that time was to evaluate the status of the US economy as a result of the recession and try to estimate when the US economy might be starting to improve As a result of presentations informal meetings and discussions during their Atlanta visit in March of 1975 in their final report of their overall US mission Mr Hasagawa and

the group recommended a closer relationship be established between the Southeastern region of the US and the Japanese industrial and business community They recognized the fact that there was not a great deal known about this region in Japan however it was a developing and important region in the future for Japanese investmentbusiness trade opportunities During Governor Busbees first trip to the Far East in October of 1975 he had the opportunity to be with all of the senior officials that were on the first mission to Atlanta As a result Governor Busbee offered to form an association of the seven Southeastern states Mr Hasagawa them president of Sumitomo Chemical indicated that they would form a similar group on the Japan side The concept was that the two groups would meet annually to exchange views review the economy in this region in all area of trade business education and culture As a result the first meeting of the JapanUS Southeast Association was held in Atlanta on April 9 1976 with representation by the seven southeastern states and approximately 20 senior business officials from Japan The first meetings on the Japanese side were held in the Imperial Hotel October 11 and 12 1977 in Tokyo and were attended by approximately 50 major businesses in Japan and the representation was at the highest level of these companies Attending from the Southeast were over 75 State officials and business representatives
The meetings in Japan offered a unique opportunity to listen to presentations on the US Southeast economy in addition to the Japanese economy future activities in pollution control energy etc The program for the conference included a luncheon program on October 11th where US Ambassador Mike Mansfield was the principle speaker Our reception that eveing was hosted by the Japanese side On October 12th the luncheon program was hosted by the Southean states and their representatives During the luncheon program the responsibility for the coordination for the Southeast was turned over from the State of Georgia to the State of Florida Tentative plans were made for the 1978 meeting to be held in Orlando Florida in the Fall of 1978 The final event was a reception hosted by Ambassador Mansfield at his residence and attended by a significant number of the senior Japanese officials US Government and Japanese Government officials and the Southeastern businessmen
Meetings such as this provide an unusual opportunity for developing trade and new business interests between Japan and the State of Georgia
