ON GARDEN CITY PROPERTY
IN RESPONSE TO increased sales and import tonnage KMart Incorporated is adding a second warehouse to the companys Import Distribution Center located on Garden City Terminal property of the Georgia Ports Authority
This second phase of KMart expansion will be situated next to the original 400000 square foot warehouse and will double the size of the Import Distribution Center
According to R T Rodgers General Manager of KMarts Import Department the companys sales increased 186 percent in 1977 In the same period Rodgers said our total import tonnage through the Port of Savannah increased 18 percent in spite of a record high increase by KMart in the previous year Also during 1977 KMart became the second largest mass merchandiser in the United States
Rodgers says he is looking forward to the completion of the addition sometime in the last quarter of 1978 It will enable us to keep pace with the steadily increasing import tonnages
Commenting on the KMart addition George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority emphasized that this is important to us and to the Port of Savannah particularly in that it certainly signals the commitment that KMart has made to Savannah At the present time 47 percent of all KMart imports into the US come through the Port of Savannah Nichols continued This second phase of expansion means that KMart intends to maintain that percentage of import volume through the Port of Savannah and v I think it is very important
Nichols added It will also necessitate not only continued com
mitment from the existing containership lines calling at the Port of Savannah but possibly some increase in the number of lines to handle the KMart traffic and we
are very optimistic about this From Savannah KMart distributes to its stores as far west as Kansas City and north to the Canadian border Q

Georgia Ports Opens New Berths
TWO MODERN specialized berths have gone into operation at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Ocean Terminal at the Port of Savannah with the first cargo through the facilities breaking an export record set last year by GPA
17486640 fresh eggs came through Berths 1 and 2 bound for the Middle East The 48574 cartons of eggs were loaded aboard the refrigerated freighter NORTHERN ICE chartered by Eller and Company agents and stevedores for the cargo
The initial record fresh egg shipment moved through the GPA Garden City Terminal last fall des
tined for North Yemen the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait
Yet another record shipment of fresh eggs to the Middle East is expected sometime in February according to officials of United Egg Producers
The new berths feature 1178 linear feet of continuous general cargo berthing with a total of
67000 square feet of open dock service space
170000 square feet of interior floor space is provided by a cargo transit shed 953 feet in length and 181 feet in width
The loading dock at the rear of the shed can handle maximum freight car traffic and almost unlimited truck unloading The new facilities are designed primarily for paper products
Immediate plans call for an additional 400000 square feet of
GPA warehousing to serve as backup storage to the new berths
Another major initial cargo handled by the new facilities was 1500 tons of dissolving grade cellulose woodpulp manufactured by ITT Rayonier Inc and destined for Bombay India ITT Rayoniers Mill Divisions at Jesup Georgia and Fernandina Beach Florida combine to export more than 250000 tons of woodpulp annually 90 percent of which moves through the Part of Savannah Southern Shipping Company were agents for the cargo
The new facilities give Georgia Ports at Savannah 26 berths which are backed up by four million square feet of warehousing space
The Port of Savannah is the leading international port on the South Atlantic and the international trade capabilities of the Georgia Ports Authority are expected to be greatly enhanced by the advent of the new berths

Bainbridge Barge Terminal Offers Industrial Expansion Opportunities
By William J Jakubsen
Project Manager Rivers Harbors
Georgia Ports Authority
BAINBRIDGE GEORGIA located at the confluence of the Apalachicola Flint and Chattahoochee waterways has a rare combination of water rail and highway transportation facilities and was a natural site for the location of Georgias first inland port terminal in 1957
Bainbridge is an old city as American cities go It has grown up around the site of an old Indian trading post dating back to 1790 Since that time Bainbridge has grown steadily to a city of more than 15000 population
Bainbridge today is the scene of greatly expanded river commerce Thousands of tons of bulk raw materials flow into this inland port where they are processed and manufactured into finished goods and moved out again on rail barge and truck transport
Modern port facilities plus ample labor and economic advantages have brought many new industries to Bainbridges river banks Many farsighted industrialists are taking advantage of the economies of this ideal combination of lowcost transportation and the areas obvious groundfloor opportunities for industrial expansion
When the Georgia Ports Authority opened the Bainbridge State Docks in October 1957 a new dimension was added to the industrial potential of the area The Ports Authority property in West Bainbridge consists of 100 acres along the north bank of the Flint River which forms the upper reaches of Lake Seminole a 37500acre lake created by the Jim Woodruff Dam at the confluence of the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers near the Florida state line At this point these two rivers flow into the Apalachicola River forming a short navigable route south to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
The Mobile District Corps of Engineers has the responsibility of maintaining the tririver system to a ninefoot project depth and a 100foot wide channel from the junction of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway to Bainbridge Georgia on the Flint River and to Columbus Georgia on the Chattahoochee River According to R W Davis Chief of the Operations Division the Corps has been most successful in maintaining full or nearly full project dimensions on the system
Engineering improvements on this waterway have provided a ninefoot project depth according to the

Mobile District Corps of Engineers 835 of the time from 1972 through 1976 an eight and onehalf foot project depth 846 of the time an eightfoot project depth 905 of the time and a seven and onehalf foot project depth 975 of the time and a fully marked navigation route for river traffic to the Georgia Ports Authoritys State Docks at Bainbridge
Within the past several years there have been a number of improvements along the system which have already improved river conditions Among these has been the construction of a series of dikes along the Apalachicola portion of the system holding an extra foot of water in Lake Sidney Lanier to augment low water flows in the lower river and the removal of rock ledges at these locations on the Chattahoochee and straightening the channel at Suck Bend In addition West Point is now in operation and enables the Corps to further augment downstream flows
Funds in the amount of 2 million are in the present years program to accomplish necessary maintenance dredging and snagging on the system
The Corps efforts have been paying off in increased tonnage on the river In 1975 811862 tons moved on the tririvers In 1976 1020399 tons of cargo were transported on the tririvers
The Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge terminal has helped to increase the tonnage A comparison of the fiscal year ending June 30 1977 with the fiscal year ending June 30 1976 shows the Georgia Ports Authority terminal had an increase in 1977 of 457 in tonnage handled over the dock There was also a 912 increase in tonnage handled through the warehouses
In 1976 27 barges were handled at the terminal This compares to 48 barges handled through the year ending June 30 1977
In addition to the usual docking and bulk cargo transfer facilities the Bainbridge State Docks feature three warehouses with 67000 square feet of storage a 6000 square foot transit shed and a large paved open storage area Future plans call for an additional
28000 square foot warehouse
Another feature of the Bainbridge State Docks is a modern Bagging Facility for such cargoes as fertilizers and other industrial chemicals
The terminal operation is so planned as to provide many optional movements of bulk cargoes Cargoes can be unloaded directly into railroad cars or trucks There is also dry storage space provided for bulk cargoes From here bulk materials can be routed directly to the automatic bagging operation The terminal also has 400 lineal feet of modern concrete bulk cargo berths and the usual mobile crane fork lifts cargo conveyors and other bulk handling equipment There are many more hundreds of feet of riverbank area which are available for the construction of additional terminal or privately owned berthing facilities for new industries locating on the Georgia Ports Authority site
The destiny of cities and their industrial potential has a way of changing dramatically overnight Such has been true in Bainbridge with the introduction of low cost barge transport from the Gulf of Mexico and its river tributaries
Kirk Baggett our Bainbridge Terminal Manager is a 20year veteran of the Georgia Ports Authority having started in 1958 at Ocean Terminal in Savannah During the early years Kirk was trained in all departments of I operation beginning with Main tenance Shipping Storing and uli i Receiving of Cargo Office ProKirk Baggett cedures and was made the first manager for the Augusta facility
In 1965 Kirk was selected as manager for the Bainbridge facility With a positive attitude and the spirit of cooperation with our various customers the Bainbridge facility has progressed
Bainbridge formerly landlocked now boasts a multimillion dollar chemical fertilizer plant built by Kaiser Chemical the raw materials being barged from point of origin in the Gulf
Companies such as International Minerals Chemicals Allied Chemical Corporation Air Products and Chemical Corporation Englehard Mineral Chemical Corporation Borg Warner Southeast Mineral Fertilizer and BCM Corporation use the port facilities with regularity
Commodities moving through the port include urea ammonia fertilizers plaster pellets and chemicals clay nap fertilizer solution potash and heavy machinery
Access to the Gulf and to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway has changed the face of Bainbridge and a new distribution center has come into being
The Bainbridge State Docks operation has ample land for increasing warehouse and storage facilities Land is available also for industrial development either through sale or leasing arrangements Several private installations have located on the Georgia Ports Authority site and more are in the offing
Industries locating on the Georgia Ports Authority site at Bainbridge will have access to better than average utilities Studies have shown that at least 50million gallons of pure artesian water can be produced daily at the site In addition the Flint River provides an almost inexhaustible source of untreated water for industrial use Natural Gas is available through a fourinch line to the property Additional expansion of such service is available upon demand Any other variety of industrial fuels is readily barged in at economical rates The Georgia Power Company has one 110000volt and two 66000volt lines serving the area assuring continuous electric power service All of these advantages are available to new industry now at the Georgia Ports Authority site in Bainbridge Q

SAVANNAH PORT FACTOR IN JAPANESE FIRMS MOVE TO ATLANTA
A MAJOR JAPANESE electronics firm has located in Atlanta because of the proximity and the facilities of the Port of Savannah
TEC America a subsidiary of one of the largest electronics firms in the world has opened its Eastern Division headquarters in Atlanta to serve 31 states The companys major product is a sophisticated electronic cash register
TEC America is a subsidiary of Tokyo Electric Company Ltd an affiliate of Toshiba the General Electric of the Far East TEC America is the worlds second largest electronic cash register manufacturer surpassed only by the National Cash Register Company
Akio Tada the company official who is heading up the Atlanta operation says the move was motivated by the fact that Savannah has excellent port facilities and because we expect less problems moving through the Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central than we might encounter in the Port of New York
Japan Lines and US Lines container ships will carry to the Port of Savannah each month 6000 to 7000 cash registers which will be moved by truck to the Atlanta distribution center
A TEC America official pointed out that a last minute pitch by Governor George Busbee and the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade changed our minds at a point when negotiations with New York were in the final stages The official described this as an 11th hour coup over New York
Matsujiro Suzaki Chairman of TEC America indicated the company is also considering a production center in Atlanta He added that US companies are selling some components to the company
The establishment of the Eastern Division in Atlanta will result in more than 70 percent of TEC America products being shipped through the Port of Savannah instead of Long Beach The Eastern Division covers 70 percent of all TEC America dealers in the east south and midwest
Since 1971 TEC America sales in this country have reached 25 million annually Company officials are projecting wholesale sales of 50 million in the foreseeable future

THE GEORGIA PORTS Authority has entered another phase of its continuing program to upgrade the
GPA Police Department
The Georgia General Assembly in 1976 enacted into law House Bill 1541 which empowers GPA police officers to make arrests for certain offenses committed on GPA property and to enforce motor vehicle traffic laws for the State of Georgia
The latest phase of the upgrading program is aimed at more fully qualifying the 58 GPA police officers to meet these new responsibilities
In preparation for this increased responsibility GPA police officers are undergoing a 48 and onehalf hour training program developed and instructed by Sgt Jeff Wood and Cpl Steve Smith of the Savannah Police Department
The courses include Police Lia
bility Handling Evidence and Property Interpersonal Communications Firearms Training DUI driving under the influence Detection Georgia Traffic Law Traffice Enforcement Vehicle Pullovers Vehicular Search and Seizure and Courtroom Demeanor and Testimony
A twohour course stresses correct handling of evidence and property establishing a chain of possession marking evidence for future identification and properly logging property into a property room
Eight hours are devoted to Interpersonal Communications aimed at dealing with other persons in situations characterized by hostility unpleasant circumstances and increased emotional levels The course emphasizes an understanding of why certain words and actions are offensive to others and an understanding of the skills necessary in defusing a hostile encounter
Four hours are devoted to detec
tion of DUI violators and skills for administering field sobriety tests
A twohour course stresses the importance of traffic enforcement the results of nonenforcement and the use of discretion in traffic enforcement
Eleven hours are devoted to accident investigation two hours to traffic control and four hours to Georgia Traffic Laws
A fourhour course underscores the proper technique in stopping a vehicle the approach to and cover of a stopped vehicle carrying suspects involved in criminal activity a vehicle stopped for traffic violations and the proper removal of occupants whenever necessary
Vehicular Search and Seizure is a fourhour course emphasizing when and the extent to which a vehicle can be searched and use of a search warrant

ties of an arresting officer proper methods for testifying in court and the desirable demeanor for being an effective and creditable witness
The two Savannah Police Department officers instructing the courses are eminently qualified
A 12year veteran of the SPD Sgt Wood is a graduate of both the FBI National Academy and the Northwestern University Traffic Institute management course He is currently completing work toward a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice at Armstrong State College Sgt Wood has served in the patrol crime prevention and training units of the Savannah Police Department For the past three years he has been involved in training police officers in a fifteen county area
Cpl Smith has a degree in Criminal Justice from Armstrong State College and is currently working on a Masters Degree at Georgia Southern College Cpl Smith has served in the patrol crime prevention detective and training units of the SPD including 14 months with the Savannah Regional Police Academy
The officers of Georgia Ports Authoritys Police force are virtually in a state of perpetual training in preparing them for performance of their overriding mission of protecting lives and property on Georgia Ports Authority facilities
In addition to their police duties the officers also operate the GPA Fire Department
As a back up measure the GPA Fire Department maintains Red Line Communication with the Garden City Volunteer Fire Department the facility in closest proximity to GPA the Savannah Fire Department and fire fighting forces of all other municipalities in Chatham County All GPA fire fighters are qualified under standards of the Savannah Fire Department
The GPA Police Force numbers among its members a former FBI agent several former military personnel and four former officers with the Savannah Police Department
Following the natural order of things the GPA Police Depart
ment is expanding as the Georgia Ports Authority expands
The Department is headed up by Chief William Kilroy while Captain John Smart functions as Terminal Supervisor There are also two lieutenants six sergeants who serve as watch supervisors seven corporals and two clerksecretarys
Seven female officers have joined the force in the past three years
They perform all duties neither asking nor receiving any special accommodation from their male colleagues
In addition to the conventional zone patrols in seven radio dispatched patrol units those duties include cargo surveillance gate security and radio dispatching
Gate security is a very critical function of the GPA police since
180000 trucks pass through the gates at Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal annually An average of 450 trucks daily pass in and out of Gate 1 at Garden City Terminal alone Copious records are maintained on all activities in and out of the gates at both Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal
GPA officials point with pride to the fact that they have been able to hire more highly qualified people on the Police Department in the past few years including several officers with Criminal Justice degrees
This has been possible because of improved wages and benefits which has brought about a high morale unparalleled in the thirty year history of the Georgia Ports Authority
The GPA Police Department is headed up by Chief William Kilroy with the assistance of Capt John Smart

CAPTAIN WILLIAM T Brown and Samuel L Clements Mark Twain have at least one thing in common they both realized their boyhood dreams of becoming river pilots
Although the dominion of Captain Brown President of the Savannah Pilots Association is far removed from Clements fabled Mississippi River the Savannah River is also rich in history and legend
The Savannah Pilots Association has played a major role in much of the Rivers history
The eleven active members of the Savannah Pilots Association are part of one of the most exclusive groups in Georgia The Association is chartered by the State and the pilots are licensed by the State and Federal Governments The Association is charged with furnishing proper service and maintenance of suitable equipment to accommodate shipping through the Port of Savannah
At one time there were 20 pilots with 12 boats operating a catchascatchcan enterprise in the Port of Savannah Shipping quite often suffered because pilots worked at their own convenience rather than that of shippers using the Port
It was this state of affairs which led to the formation of the Savannah Pilots Association
Through the years the family line tradition developed within the Association with son following father in the profession
The son of a pilot quite often was put on a pilot boat as soon as he was old enough to pull on a hawser to start his training as a pilot
Many observers Captain Brown among them believe the profession has benefited from this tradition Because of the highly specialized nature of the calling Brown emphasizes It demands the total dedication of the individual which is developed in a mans formative years
The river pilots job is highly structured When a particular ship is scheduled for the Port of Savannah the local agent notifies the Pilots Association of the time of the vessels arrival off the Tybee Bar The pilot assigned to that ship 14
The 77foot pilot boat GEORGIA is the work horse of the Savannah Pilots Association
Savannah Pilots Integral Part of River History
boards the pilot boat at the Associations facility on Cockspur Island at Fort Pulaski rides it to where the ship is standing off the Bar and boards the vessel
The pilot is responsible for the inland navigation of the vessel as it moves up the Savannah River to one of the Georgia Ports Authority facilities or one of the many private terminals in the Port Once on board the Pilot serves as advisor to the captain He directs the progress of the ship without ever taking the helm Any orders he gives are construed as orders coming from the master of the vessel The pilots responsibility for the ship ends only when it is turned over to the docking master in the Port
The work of a river pilot is fraught with hazzards which begin as he boards the ship he is to bring into Port Transferring the pilot from the relatively small pilot boat to the larger modern day vessels can be a dangerous procedure If

he grabs for the ladder and misses he can easily pitch into the water In choppy seas caused by bad weather he could be battered against the side of the pitching ship or should he go into the drink he could be crushed between the two vessels According to veteran pilots the worst hazard encountered in bringing a ship in or out of the Port is fog This condition can

obscure the steel framework range markers along the shore of the river which guide the pilot Under such adverse circumstances the pilot must depend on the ships radar Upon departure of a ship from the Port of Savannah the process is reversed
If the weather is rough the pilot encounters another hazard in transferring from the departing vessel to the pilot boat off the Tybee Bar In rare instances pilots have been marooned on an outgoing vessel when life and limb would be endangered by attempting to board the pilot boat One pilot in recent years was unable to leave a ship until it reached the Panama Canal Zone
Comprehensive studies indicate that river pilots depend greatly on instincts Captain Brown carries it even further He characterizes the ideal pilot as almost a computerized mind incorporating three attributes instinct plus knowledge plus skill Brown is a sixth generation pilot on the Savannah River and his son Captain William T Jr is carrying on the family tradition as a seventh generation pilot
The senior Browns great grandfather Captain William Thomas Daniels entered the pilot service in 1853 Participating in the first engagement of the Civil War between Union and Confederate forces in the State of Georgia Captain Daniels helped save a Confederate supply ship which had gone aground off Wassaw Island He later took part in running the Federal blockade from Savannah to Nassau and from Havanna to Galveston Five of Captain Daniels nine children subsequently became Savannah River pilots
CAPTAIN William T Brown Master Pilot of the Port of Savannah surveys the bustling Savannah River from his office overlooking historic River Street
Becoming a river pilot is no simple task according to Captain Brown Once your application is accepted you serve four years as an apprentice then two additional years on probation If you reach that plateau you face a battery of tests and examinations The one administered by the Coast Guard can last as long as a week If you survive all this you are a river pilot and have earned the title of Captain
The operation of the Savannah Pilots Association requires a sizable capital outlay The association which is selfsupporting currently maintains two allaluminum pilot boats 77 and 65 foot lengths which represent an investment of about three quarters of a million dollars Approximately a quarter of a million dollars is tied up in land and dock facilities at Cockspur Island which includes living quarters for pilots
Captain Brown describes as relatively small the problems created for the Pilots Association by the growth of the Port of Savannah over the past ten to twenty years
He is of the opinion that the present allotment of eleven pilots is sufficient to accommodate current traffic but he emphasized the Pilots Association must grow in order to handle the projected traffic increase in the Port of Savannah Most of the recent growth has evolved around the burgeoning container industry Captain Brown is credited with playing a major role in getting the Port of Savannah into the big time container business Up until the late 1960s the Port of Savannah was handling nothing larger than the five to six hundred foot ships because of channel limitations in the Savannah River
When the larger Japanese shipping companies were searching for a southeastern port Captain K Azuma of the Mitsui OSK Line asked Captain Brown to assist him in a study on the feasibility of large container ships utilizing the Savannah River channel A major area of concern was the Kings Island Turning Basin and its inability to handle the larger container ships
As a result of recommendations which grew out of exhaustive cooperative efforts by the Pilots Association the Army Corps of Engineers and the Georgia Ports Authority the Turning Basin was enlarged and today the river channel Turning Basin and Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central are handling container ships that average 868 foot lengths 106 foot beams and 38000 gross tons
When the first of these massive vessels made its maiden voyage Captain Brown was aboard for the trip from Philadelphia and it was he who had the triumphant privilege of bringing the NEW JERSEY MARU into the Port of Savannah
With practically no urging Brown will recall setting on the knees of various grandparents and uncles listening to sea stories ship lore and tall tales of harrowing experiences all of which sparked his ambition toward a career that moved him into his current position as Master Pilot on the Savannah River It is a role in which I am very comfortable Brown observes I am proud to be a river pilot and I am extremely proud of the achievements of the Pilots Association for the Port of Savannah
Brown commended the Congressional and Legislative delegations the County Government and City Hall the Savannah Port Authority and the Georgia Ports Authority for what Brown feels is teamwork that has made this an exciting decade for the Port of Savannah
Projecting into the next decade Captain Brown is convinced it will bring the realization of the dream of Savannah continuing its move upwards in the echelon of Atlantic ports
Brown recalls on trips up river to the Savannah Sugar Refinery passing a beautiful wooded bluff known as the Medical Depot during World War II There was some warehousing he remembers but no docks or port facilities According to Captain Brown The GPAs acquisition of the depot which has evolved into the Garden City Terminal was the turning point in the Port of Savannah PJ

Veteran Agent Ends Long Career with US Customs
WILLIAM P HUNTON has wound up a 27year career with the US Customs Service Hunton retired December 31 1977 as SpecialAgentinCharge of the Office of Investigation US Customs based in the Port of Savannah Joseph Richard Bartlett has succeeded Hunton in the post
Since 1970 Hunton had been in charge of all investigative activities for US Customs in the State of Georgia and supervised the Resident Agents office in Atlanta
Hunton entered the Customs Service in 1950 and served initially as an Examiner in Jacksonville He also
William Hunton
Joseph R Bartlett
served as a US Treasury representative in England his birthplace He was later a Customs agent in New Orleans and a supervisory criminal investigator in Mobile
Hunton received numerous commendations during his career in the Port of Savannah These include recognition for an investigation he headed up which resulted in the recovery of a stolen shipment of imported copper and the arrests of four suspects involved
Hunton trained in aviation at the University of Florida and was discharged from the US Air Force in 1956 as a Lieutenant Colonel
The new SpecialAgentinCharge has an impressive background
Bartlett began his government service with the US Department of Agricultures Plant Quarantine Division in 1957 and transferred to the US Customs Service in 1959 He served as a Supervisory Customs Port Investigator in Port Arthur and Houston Texas and was assigned to El Paso as a Special Agent in 1964
He also served as Assistant SpecialAgentinCharge and Group Supervisor
in El Paso become coming to Savannah
Bartlett was born and grew up in Asheville North Carolina He served in the US Navy and graduated from Virginia Polytechnic Institute with a BS in General Science
As one of his last acts before retiring SpecialAgentinCharge Hunton commended two Special Agents for a record they set in theft cases Hunton revealed that in the last seven years David J Hayes and Paul E Reid never failed to solve any significant case involving thefts of cargoes from Georgia Ports Authority property
Upon taking over the Savannah office in 1970 Hunton made an indepth study of the previous ten years in the areas of fraud narcotics cargo theft and export violations The study indicated that arrests made during that period averaged one per year for very minor violations and most of them were made by Customs port investigators There had been significant thefts but the records according to Hunton were void of any arrests on cases other than those where thieves were caught in the act of petty pilferage
Under a new system initiated by Hunton wideranging contacts were made with longshoremen riverfront industries and law enforcement agencies
Hunton said Special Agents Hayes and Reid combined their talents and as a team approached every significant theft by interviewing all persons known to be in the area of a theft They identified the friends of suspected violators by discussions with police interviewed their associates their families and neighbors The two agents used photographs of items similar to those stolen to obtain information
They also employed crime labs bloodhounds and every available technique in their investigations
As the result of dedicated and brilliant work according to Hunton Hayes and Reid solved every significant theft case which occurred through 1977
The two Special Agents received Special Achievement Awards for their work

RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS of new steamship services at the Port of Savannah for 1978 and 1979 highlight our continued efforts to build the Port of Savannah as the pacesetter in the South Atlantic
Additional services to Northern Europe ports Mediterranean ports African ports MiddleEastern ports South American ports and Far Eastern and Pacific ports mean a substantial increase in frequency of sailings to areas of the world where trade prospects are on the rise
Although world economic conditions have not kept pace with the US economic recovery some general improvements are indicated
Trade with developing nations underscores the introduction of new
shipping tonnages into the South Atlantic and particularly the Port of Savannah in anticipation of continued increase in trading with these nations
Foremost in every shippers mind as it should be is making his port selection the service capabilities of the ocean carriers and the ports they use We are certainly proud of the confidence in the Port of Savannah expressed by these steamship lines and their agents
We at the Georgia Ports Authority will continue to strive to improve our steamship services as well as our port services to keep the Port of Savannah foremost in the mind of that most important person you the shipper

THE FIRST NATIONAL Aeronautics and Space Administration rocket ever to leave American soil by water was exported from the Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central in midApril enroute to Japan for the opening of the worlds largest space exposition It opens July 16 and runs through January 15 of 1979 in Tokyo
The first of its kind the Space Expo will highlight American and Japanese space accomplishments
The Saturn IB rocket is on loan from NASA for the Space Expo The monolithic vehicle was a backup in the Skylab space mission which inaugurated a new era in space research and flight for the longest and most productive manned space mission in history at that time 84 days one hour and 16 minutes That record was later broken by the Soviet Unions Salyut 6
The rocket was transported by a NASA barge from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to Container Central at GPAs Garden City Terminal The various components were loaded by two cranes onto the container ship NEW YORK MARU operated by Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd The ship is expected to arrive in Japan by May 1st
IN THIS AERIAL PHOTO two GPA Container Cranes stand protectively on either side of the Saturn IB rocket components awaiting loading onto the deck of the NEW YORK MARU for the voyage to Japan
When the sections the Apollo Command Module the service module and the escape tower are assembled the Saturn IB achieves a height of 224 feet
The Space Expo will also feature space craft from the Mercury Gemini and Apolo series that actually made the roundtrip into space The exhibit will include Saturn V rocket engines and various types of research and comunications satellites
Sponsored by the Association for the Space Science Exposition the Space Expo is the cooperative effort of the governments of the U S and Japan NASA the National Air and Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institute and the Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation
The Space Expo is budgeted at approximately 21 million All the costs of preparing and shipping the borrowed hardware from the National Air and Space Museum and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration are paid by the Japanese sponsors
In Japan the National Space Development Agency and the Institute of Space and Aeronautical Science of the University of Tokyo are making exhibits available Other Japanese organizations involved in space
research and exploration are cooperating in the Space Expo Japan Science Society and Japan Foundation for the Promotion of Maritime Science are associate sponsors of Space Expo Japan Shipbuilding Industry Foundation is also a sponsor
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Transportation are providing the major government support for the exhibit
In the United States arrangements for the Space Expo are handled by the Space Science Exposition Inc the President of which is Mike M Masaoka of Washington D C An exhibit like this has never been put together outside of the US says Masaoka While the size and complexity of the Space Expo are important I want to stress the significance of JapaneseAmerican cooperation in this venture Without the energetic organizing efforts of the Japanese this Space Expo would not have been possible The Space Expo is a remarkable example of private initiative government cooperation international friendship and cultural scientific exchange

space science has important bearings on the future of mankind Space is everybodys interest and concern today That interest should be directed towards pursuit of peace through the development of space sciences
Ryoichi Sasakawa immediate past president of the Japan Science Society and President of the Japan Foundation for the Promotion of Maritime Science may have come close to bringing the space efforts of all nations into focus when he observed Space exploration widens the view of mankind Human struggles on the earth are only small matters on a small planet The world is one family and all mankind are brothers and sisters Already the moon is our neighbor and Mars is a distant relative
Our Space Science Exposition is planned primarily for youngsters If they learn how far space sciences have developed and the outlook for the future and begin to look at the world and mankind from an enlightened viewpoint the Space Expo will have achieved its purpose
The theme of the Space Science Exposition is Space Dream and Hope for Humanity

The ten new grain elevators loom behind Governor George Busbee as he praises the Georgia General Assembly for their high priority funding of Phases 1 and 2 of the Georgia Ports Authority improvement program Platform guests included left to right Savannah Mayor Pro Tern Frank P Rossiter Chatham County Commission Chairman Shelby Myrick Jr Joseph Mitchell Manager Continental9s Savannah Export Elevator Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Tommy Irvin Tom Murphy Speaker of the Georgia House GPA Chairman Bob Miles Roy E Folck Jr Continental Board Chairman GPA Executive Director George J Nichols Bernard Steinweg Executive Vice PresidentGeneral Manager North American Grain Division Continental Grain Company GPA members H Baxter Harcourt and Winston B Brock
A 45 MILLION export grain terminal built by Georgia Ports Authority and to be operated by Continental Grain Company has been dedicated by Georgia Governor George Busbee and Roy E Folck Jr Chairman of the Board of Continental
Also dedicated in the same ceremonies at Garden City Terminal were other facilities completed under a 52 million Port Expansion Program the largest in the history of Georgia Ports
Folck told an audience of several hundred persons that when the 18 million bushel grain facility is in full operation within the next 90 days Georgia grain producers will be able to export seed and food grains and soybeans to markets abroad more efficiently than ever before
Folck also pointed out that the opening of the grain export terminal will provide additional impetus to a developing global market thrust affording Georgia grain producers greater sales opportunities
Folck emphasized that favorable transportation costs make the Port of Savannah a logical site for about 50 percent of Georgias export grain movement Enhancing this situation Folck said is the fact that more than 55 percent of Georgias corn and soybean production is within 150 miles of the Port of Savannah
In introducing Governor Busbee Robert Miles Chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority described Busbee as the man who has been the leading edge of Georgias involvement in the arena of international trade
Since becoming Governor he has been an untiring ambassador for industry international trade and all the State of Georgia in the far reaches of this rapidly shrinking world Today his unrelenting efforts and travel are paying off for all sectors of Georgia business and commerce
Governor Busbee attributed much of the optimism of the Georgia agriculture community on better grain prices and increased grain move
ment in the entire Southeast to the fact that Continental Grain among the leaders in grain export will be operating the new GPA grain facilities
Continental Grain Company is a
USowned integrated food organization operating worldwide Their interests and activities for nearly 165 years have established the firm as a major factor in domestic and international agricultural business
Their principal activities are the worldwide purchase storage transportation and merchandising of grains and oilseeds The company is also involved in animal feed compounding soybean processing flour milling and specialty baking
Through a global network of over 150 offices and the employment of nearly 17000 persons the company can bring together readily sellers and buyers via a high speed communications system
Georgia grain producers will be able to export seed and food grains and soybeans to markets abroad more efficiently than ever before
In order to best serve producers and their markets Continental operates facilities in all the major grain and oilseed producing areas of the United States About 30 percent of the merchandising activity at these installations is directed to the major domestic food and food processing industries and 70 percent to the export markets
To handle movement of grain in the United States and Canada the company operates over 60 inland elevators with total storage capacity of 18 million metric tons To expedite overseas shipments the company manages 10 export elevators with a loading capacity of over 15 million metric tons per year
Facilitating grain transport in the US the company leases over 1500 railroad hopper cars for its own use
Our broad base of operations enables Continental to maintain close contact with markets and mar
ket influences Folck explained As a full service organization we are committed to the role of a consistently reliable supplier of grain and related products at competitive prices to buyers throughout the world
Continental Grain Company presently accounts for about 20 percent of all US grain exports
As a grain exporter we recognize that the Southeast largely through the efforts of area producers has long played a major role in overseas shipments of US farm products
Continued expansion of South Atlantic grain exports and the evergrowing importance of com and soybeans in the export trade make it more than mere coincidence that we have forged this alliance with GPAs Savannah elevator serving primarily Georgia producers of com and soybeans
While we fully expect that Georgia producers will generate the bulk of the grain handled through this facility we as operators expect to generate volume from neighboring states and from prime producing areas in the middle west by unit train when rates and other market conditions permit
Com and soybeans historically have comprised 9095 percent of Georgia grain production Plantings of both crops have increased substantially since 1970 with grain coming largely from diverted acreage In 1974 1975 and 1976 production was boosted by excellent growing conditions resulting in superior com yields
Prior to 1976 as you know the primary markets for Georgia com other than through the states livestock industry were Alabama and northern Florida feeders Com was trucked to Charleston and beginning in 1976 as production increased along with setting of favorable export rates to Mobile and Pascagoula Georgia com began to move to world markets
There is we believe an equally promising export outlook for soybeans Heretofore the primary market for soybeans in Georgia has

GEORGIAS FIRST ForeignTrade Zone is officially open and operating Governor George Busbee and General Carlos Humberto Romero President of El Salvador were among dignitaries on hand in late February to inaugurate the Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone
The Zone encompasses a 50000 square foot public warehouse situated on a 33acre site in Shenandoah Industrial Park near Newnan The Atlanta Foreign Trade Zone is a special area under U S Customs supervision which enables importers to delay reduce and in some instances completely eliminate duties on foreign goods brought into the Zone No duty is paid until the goods enter the U S market Exporters can also obtain early export status for their goods brought into the Zone with regard to federal excise tax and Customs draw back
The International Council of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce initiated efforts in 1974 to establish a foreigntrade zone in Georgia Through Chamber initiative a private corporation Georgia Foreign Trade Zone Inc was organized to obtain federal authorization for foreigntrade zones in Georgia
In 1976 the corporation conducted a statewide search for a Zone site and operator which led to the selection of Shenandoah
In his dedication remarks Governor Busbee described the opening of the first foreigntrade zone in the state as a significant step in Georgias international development
This was echoed by Scott Hudgens Chairman of the Board of Shenandoah Development Inc in his observation that the opening of the Atlanta ForeignTrade Zone marks an important step in Atlantas international development and brings an attractive stimulus to

JAPANESE BUSINESS LEADER URGES PAINFUL ADJUSTMENTS IN JAPANUS TRADE
A LEADING JAPANESE businessman has called for an alteration of trade attitude by the United States and Japan as a means of forging a stronger economic partnership between the two countries
Yoshizo Ikeda President of the Mitsui and Company Ltd of Tokyo told a group of Georgia and Japanese businessmen meeting in Atlanta that the balancing of their economic relationship will require
some painful adjustments in the economies of both Japan and the US
Japan is becoming more import oriented according to Ikeda while we expect that America will become more export oriented
Ikeda was the leader of a special 18 member Japan Import Promotion Mission to 17 U S cities Atlanta was the only city in the southeast visited by the Mission
Ikeda pointed out that the southeast has traditionally enjoyed a trade surplus with Japan while the United States has not Last years deficit in your US trade with Japan was 8 billion Ikeda said To make matters worse your trade deficit with the OPEC oil exporting nations countries was nearly triple that
According to Ikeda the United States is the only advanced industrial nation whose exports have traditionally stayed well under 10 percent if its gross national product with the 1977 export level reaching seven percent
This must change according to Ikeda in order for the US to be able to afford its current import levels especially for essential raw materials and fuels
Ikeda conceded that Japan has been too involved with imports of food and raw materials compared with manufactured goods for reasons of economic efficiency But he added this is now changing
Ikedas company maintains a trade office in Atlanta and in other major cities throughout the world

At Southeast Propeller Club Conference in Port of Savannah
LNG Official Contends Substance Safer to Handle
There have been more than 3000 voyages of ships carrying liquefied natural gas since 1959 according to an official of El Paso Marine Company of Houston Texas and while there have been some minor problems there have been no major accidents
This information came from Capt Warren G Leback El Paso Vice President during a seminar at the 1978 Southeast Region Convention of the U S Propeller Club hosted by the Port of Savannah in April
El Paso plans to ship approximately 3 million short tons of LNG annually to the Southern Energy Systems terminal on Elba Island in the Savannah River Capt Leback revealed that one LNG ship a week is scheduled to start calling the terminal sometime in early July Initially according to Leback the ships will come into the harbor during daylight hours only
Leback told the seminar that LNG is safer to carry and safer to handle than crude oil or petroleum products He revealed that the crews of the LNG ships are currently undergoing 200 hours training in bridge harbor and cargo systems simulators The program includes eight days of LNG firefighting training
Leback said the tankers that will carry the LNG have been especially constructed to tolerate intense heat and the vessels will have on board completely enclosed lifeboats and lifesaving systems that can withstand temperatures of up to 1200 degrees fahrenheit
Capt Leback told the seminar that expansion of the Elba Island LNG facility can be expected within the foreseeable future
He also pointed to what he termed an economic windfall for the local community and noted that 40 percent of the crews of the LNG tankers will be paid off in the Port of Savannah
Another panel member on the seminar was George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority
He expressed gratification at the fact that harbor improvements recently completed to accommodate the LNG tankers will not only help alleviate current needs but will handle many future needs which is a big plus for the port of Savannah
The LNG terminal on Elba Island is approximately 20 miles from Georgia Ports Authority facilities
Nichols told the seminar that 1978 brought with it a very favorable economic outlook for the Port
ABOVE George J Nichols Executive Director Georgia Ports Authority outlines improvements in the Port of Savannah both in GPA and private terminals BELOW Captain Warren G Leback of El Paso Marine Company describes maximum safety measures instituted for the transport of liquefied natural gas by his firm to various LNG terminals including the one on Elba Island in the Savannah River
THE SPEAKER at the closing luncheon of the Propeller Club Convention gave a slide presentation detailing efforts to raise the USS MONITOR from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean
Dr Calvin G McGowan is chief chemist with the USS MONITOR Recovery Team based at Wilmington North Carolina McGowan outlined obstacles and difficulties encountered in the recovery efforts and predicted five years may be required to raise and properly preserve the MONITOR
Some of these men shown in this photo were among the 16
crew members who perished when the USS MONITOR sank during a storm off the coast of North Carolina on New Years Eve 1862 Nine months earlier the MONITOR had met the Confederate ironclad MERRIMAC in a standoff battle at Hampton Roads Virginia saving the Northern fleet from destruction and serving notice to the world that the day of the wooden ship had ended Superficial damage to the gun turret of the MONITOR arrow lends mute evidence that both ironclads were virtually impervious to the shot and shell of the other

of Savannah and he outlined three very significant reasons 1977 was an excellent year and much of that momentum carried over into this year port and harbor facilities are benefiting from a program of continuing improvements and the broad crosssection of people agencies and organizations dedicated to and involved in the movement of cargo through the port of international trade
Nichols projected a steady continuing growth with the sustaining support of Governor George Busbee and the Georgia General Assembly and the growing support of all Georgians I predict that the sky is the limit in the future of international trade in the State of Georgia
During the Southeast Region Convention the executive committee of the Propeller Club of the US approved new positions in three critical areas they advocated allocation of additional marine radio frequencies voiced opposition to the dumping of foreign flag liner shipping services in American trade and went on record in opposition to the proposed transfer of U S Army Corps of Engineers responsibilities for water resources and waterways navigation projects to the U S Department of Transportation O

TransMar Day in the Port of Savannah focuses its attention on the significant contributions that all transportation modes make towards the success of Georgias international trade
Georgia has benefitted enormously because of a healthy rail industry in the State unlike rail operations in other parts of the country Following the Southern tradition of independence through solvency railroads in the South have at times frustrated some business interests because of the railroads reluctance to conduct business at any price The wisdom of their policies emerges as international trade activity increases in our region and reliable rail service at reasonable cost becomes one of Georgia Ports great selling points
In 1976 Georgia accelerated interstate highway completion and utilized one hundred and fifty million dollars from state bonds to finance the effort This impetus together with the Georgia Public Service Commissions well disciplined regulatory judgement has produced a healthy and wellbalanced trucking industry for the State of Georgia The momentum created by the industrial explosion in the Sunbelt Region accentuates the vitality of its people A productive labor force combines the strong political and economic leadership to aggressively maximize new opportunities and successfully cope with increasing issues and problems generated in a growth environment

To Call Port of Savannah
Yangming Marine Line YML will inaugurate the carriers new USFar East Container Service in early July according to an announcement by Captain Michael Kahn President of Solar International Shipping Agency YMLs US general agent
During a press conference in the Port of Savannah Captain Kahn said that the inaugural voyage will be by the MV MING SPRING the first of four multipurpose container vessels being built for YML
The new vessels are being constucted in Taiwan by the China Shipbuilding Corporation Both the MV MING SPRING and the MV MING SUMMER were launched January 31 and are currently being outfitted for YML service as the only Chinese flag container operator in the United States
The MV MING SUMMER is expected on its maiden voyage to the US in early August The third ship The MV MING AUTUMN is expected in early September and the fourth the MV MING WINTER will arrive on the US East Coast in early October
Southern Shipping Company are local agents for YML
Captain Kahn revealed that the multipurpose container ships will eventually call every eighteen days at the ports of Savannah Wilmington Baltimore Philadelphia and New York With the advent of this new service he noted YML will add Hong Kong and Busan Korea to its Far East ports of call in additon to Keelung and Kaohsiung in Taiwan and Kobe and Yokohama in Japan
The new service will supplement YMLs present breakbulk and container capacity now provided on their seven conventional freighters between eight direct US Atlantic and Gulf ports and those in Taiwan and Japan
The four new 28500 deadweightton vessels are some 565 feet long and 91 feet wide and have a service speed of 17 knots
Captain Kahn said that of the five hatches on the new ships the center three hatches will be totally cellularized with hatches 1 and 5 capable of either container stowage or

breakbulk stowage He added that the total container stowage configuration of these vessels is ideally 480 containers which includes 360 fortyfooters and 134 twentyfooters and which will produce optimum load factor per vessel
However he pointed out if only 40 foot containers are loaded then the load factor would be 413 fortyfoot
containers resulting in an 826 TEU stowage capability per vessel

FMC CHAIRMAN WARNS AGAINST US MARITIME INDUSTRY DEREGULATION
Chatting with FMC Chairman Richard J Daschbach at center following his speech to a World Trade luncheon in Atlanta were George J Nichols at left Executive Director Georgia Ports Authority and George Harry at right District Director of the Federal Maritime Commission
The Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission told a Georgia International Trade Association World Trade Day luncheon in Atlanta that deregulation of air and surface transportation will eventually be extended to include ocean transportation industry as well
Richard J Daschbach said that the FMC has no control over entry in US ocean commerce which is open to any entrant regardless of the need for additional service the impact it might have upon the supply of shipping space offered or the lessthannoble intentions of some nations and carriers who use our already glutted trades as a dumping ground for surplus tonnage
Illustrating his contention that the US maritime continues to suffer from deteriorating economic conditions Daschbach pointed out that one of the 13 major carriers in the US liner shipping industry is currently involved in bankruptcy proceedings and several others appear to be on the brink of financial insolvency Clearly no additional competition needs to be introduced to cut the flab from their profits
Ocean carrier conference agreements according to Daschbach are dominated by foreignflag carriers which out number US carriers on every trade route within our own foreign commerce
The effects of deregulating only USflag carriers would be devastating to our maritime industry our consumers our nations economy and our national security It would place us in the regressive posture which led to enactment of the 1916 Shipping Act
Turning back the clock in this fashion Daschbach contends would only serve to create the untenable situation in which only US carriers could not join conferences establish pooling agreements or set dual rates
A prohibition against US carriers joining conferences would mean that conference decisions involving US imports and exports would be made without any American participation
Our consumers dependence upon foreign carriers foreign policies and foreign interests would increase far
beyond current levels that are already unacceptable
Daschbach pointed to one serious problem that would likely be created by drastically increasing comepetition in our ocean commerce it would make our merchant vessels the Freddie Lakers of the liner shipping industry
It is clear that the architects of the US intended that one of the principal goals of federal regulation of our ocean commerce would be the maintenance of a competitive USflag merchant marine
Yet the Federal Maritime Commission today is impotent to guard against the threat posed by growing penetration of our liner trades by statecontrolled carriers
This competitive disadvantage would be further increased if the FMC lost its already limited authority over ratemaking in our foreign commerce
Daschbach pointed out that unlike the other regulated transportation industries the ocean shipping industry is responsible for on overwhelming proportion of exports and imports upon which our economy depends Deregulation might further weaken the stature of our fourth arm of defense relative to the strength of the Soviet merchant fleet The military implications of this possibility are alarming

The farranging economic effect of international trade was graphically defined by a shipment of Pepsi Cola shipped to Saudi Arabia from the Port of Savannah
The cargo came from the Pepsi Cola Bottling plant in Dothan Alabama 100352 cases of the beverage in cans and destined for the Port of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia
The 1166 long tons of Pepsi was loaded into 56 containers in Dothan and hauled to the Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central in the Port of Savannah where it was loaded onto the MV IVAN MOSKALENKO owned by the Black Sea Shipping Company
Roland Ball Vice President of the Pepsi operation in Dothan says this shipment was the first export business in which the local plant has been involved But if Ball has his way it certainly will not be the last
Ball explained that the additional help hired to produce the extra Pepsi for the export shipment added 27000 to the local Pepsi payroll It has not only stimulated our business Ball noted but also that of the company in Dothan that makes our cans Coastal Manufacturing and Transportation Company
Ball pointed out that the fact that the cans were locally made helped us put in the lowest bid for the export contract
The deadline was met Ball noted with pride in spite of inclement weather and a Memorial Day holiday by dockworkers in Savannah that had set back the loading schedule
Ball added that negotiations are continuing for this type of overseas export business It will probably be a regular thing
If it works out that way the economic benefits will continue for Dothan and the participating industries there and also for the transportation industry that moves the cargo as well as for the shipping industry in the Port of Savannah
No stranger to international trade Pepsi has been selling to Russia since 1975 under a reciprocal agreement that gives Pepsi rights to distribute Russian vodka in the United States

Ben Wiggins Speaker
TRANSMAR DAY IN THE PORT OF SAVANNAH
National Transportation Week National Maritime Week and National Defense Transportation Day were marked by TransMar Day in the Port of Savannah
During ceremonies in Rousakis Riverfront Plaza on River Street Ben T Wiggins Chairman of the Georgia Public Service Commission pointed out that Georgias system of ports works like a giant heart pumping lifeblood through the economic arteries of our state and region He underscored the impact of international trade through Georgia ports by the estimated 32 billion added to the states economy annually
Wiggins emphasized that the Georgia Ports Authority and private terminals and companies have contributed immeasurably toward the growth and prosperity of Georgia and the Southeast through industrial progress
This industrial and port development was possible according to Wiggins because of the availability of efficient and economical transportation
Aside from being the direct source of employment for thousands of wage earners Wiggins stated this comprehensive transportation system makes possible the economic wellbeing of a far greater number engaged in industry by insuring that the goods they produce will reach national and international markets with speed and economy The very presence of such a vital link in the marketing chain serves as a catalyst for new industry
Additionally he pointed out the capability for reaching distant markets keeps the costs of goods to consumers lower than would otherwise be possible without fast and economical transportation
Our transportation system according to Wiggins has evolved in a regulatory climate which attempted to balance the needs of the shipping and receiving public with those of the

carriers in the most equitable way possible
Wiggins promised that the Public Service Commission will continue to attempt to hold transportation costs in Georgia to the lowest level consistent with maintaining the transportation industry in a condition that permits it to provide adequate and complete service
The City of Savannah marked TransMar Day by the issuance of several proclamations presented by Mayor Pro Tern Frank P Rossiter
TransMar Day was topped by a banquet with Virginia Mae Brown of the Interstate Commerce Commission as featured speaker
Her varied career includes many firsts for women
In 1964 President Lyndon Johnson appointed her to the Interstate Commerce Commission which was the beginning of a series of firsts for women in the federal government She was later the first woman to be elected Chairman of the ICC This also marked the first time a woman headed an administrative agency of the US Government

Belcher Oil and Diamond Manufacturing officals look over an outboard profile of the two innovative tugboats Belcher has ordered from Diamond Left to right Stanely B Haas Vice President Belcher Marine Operations J F Roehl Jr Senior Vice President Belcher Oil Company Donald Austin Board Chairman Diamond Manufacturing Company and E L Dawe Diamond President

Belcher Oil Company has awarded a contract to Diamond Manufacturing Company of Savannah for the construction of two 150foot long 13100 horsepower tugboats which will be equipped with the most modern equipment available
Belcher a unit of Coastal States Gas Corporation of Houston Texas will put the tugs into service along Georgia and Florida Atlantic coasts and in the Gulf of Mexico
Belcher operates a terminal at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal
Diamond also has an option on building four additional tugboats of the same type for Belcher
Diamond Board Chairman Donald Austin revealed at a press conference that the contract will mean in excess of 100 jobs and will represent an investment of 15 to 16 million
Austin called the project an exciting venture and added were proud to be part of a pioneering effort in marine vessels that will mean a
positive economic impact for Savannah
Stanley B Haas Belcher Marine Operations Vice President said the Tugs mark a first in US Merchant Marine vessels in that they utilize massive lowspeed engines currently being constructed by Bermeister and Wain in Copenhagen Denmark They have been used for some time by other countries because of their great fuel economy The engine is a sevencylinder unit without reduction gears and operates at an efficient 119 revolutions per minute to turn 20foot propellers
The tugs were designed by Briet and Garcia of New Orleans and will be matched to a pair of 285000barrel barges now under construction at Galveston Texas
Construction of the tugs by Diamond is expected to take 16 months which should put the tugs in the water by July of 1979
We are pleased that Diamond Manufacturing can supply the talent
and expertise for a project of this size Haas noted particularly in matching this engine to the tugs Belcher Oil Company is committed to serving Georgia and the Carolinas from Savannah and this project with Diamond is another advantage of doing business in Savannah
Two government officials at the press conference described Diamond Manufacturing as a great asset to the Port of Savannah The presence of a versatile firm such as Diamond offering the comprehensive marine services they do greatly enhances the port in the consideration of industries and companies contemplating locating here or conducting international trade through the Port of Savannah the officials emphasized
For more than 25 years Diamond has been building and supplying heavy duty marine equipment Diamond has designed and built numerous units of specialized equipment including tugboats barges dredges cranes and custom weldments

SAVANNAH THE TOTA
Every year it becomes more abundantly clear that the availability of adequate transportation has been a key factor supporting the continued growth of Savannah its industries and port facilities
2288 vessels called the Port of Savannah in 1977 and 125000 trucks on the average of 500 a day passed through Georgia Port Authority gates in the same period
The economic impact of transportation is graphically underscored by the fact that the maritime industry employs 15650 persons in Chatham County representing earnings in excess of 190 million annually
2600 persons are employed by the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern Railway with a 38 million annual payroll
Some 40 motor carriers employ more than 1000 persons with an
annual payroll of more than 15 million
Two completed Interstate Highways 195 and 116 furnish truckers ready access to the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick
The greatly increased importance of the Savannah State Dock Railroad in the Georgia Ports Authoritys role in international trade was emphasized by a recent Association of American Railroads report which ranked the Port of Savannah fifth along the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Coasts in the number of general cargo carloads unloaded in the first quarter of 1978
In calendar 1977 the Port of Savannah ranked fourth in the same area in the number of carloads unloaded
The Georgia Ports Authoritys two new diesel electric locomotives dress up Container Central at Garden City Terminal GPA officials say the new yardswitcher locomotives will greatly enhance overall operation of the Savannah State Dock Railroad and improve safety because of increased visibility of the two machines
Two New Diesel Electric Locomotives For GPA SSDRR
The Georgia Ports Authority has taken delivery on two 1000 horsepower diesel electric locomotives manufactured by the ElectroMotive Division of General Motors the worlds largest builder of such equipment
GM officials say the unique paint design utilized on the two new locomotives is the most innovative ever executed by the company The design was conceived by GPA officials to increase visibility of the yard switcher locomotives as a safety factor The 4color design incorporates the GPA logo
The two locomotives are powered by eight cylinder two cycle diesel engines and have a total loaded weight on the rails of approximately 230000 pounds
GPA officials expect the two locomotives to greatly improve the overall efficiency in the operation of the more than 30 miles of rail line of the Savannah State Dock Railroad a whollyowned subsidiary of the Georgia Ports Authority
The two locomotives of 150 ton capacity greatly increase the capacity over the two Alco locomotives which are being retired by GPA
J B Donaldson General Superintendent of the SSDRR says the two new locomotives will prevent downtime and delays due to engine failures repairs and servicing and will also increase available power for handling additional cars
Donaldson also pointed to the completion of a new roundhouse with modern repair facilities as a major factor in greatly speeding maintenance and repairs of locomotives
He said that additional time and money will be saved with the completion of an extensive two mile track rehabilitation program

InterAmerican Development Bank Official Sees US Latin America Commonality of Purpose
An official of the InterAmerican Development Bank has called for a convergence of enlightened selfinterests in dealings between the United States and Latin America
In a World Trade speech before the Savannah District Export Council George D Landau Senior Advisor to the President of the InterAmerican Development Bank pointed out that the US exported 19 billion in goods to Latin America last year US exports to Brazil alone Landau revealed were larger than those to the USSR Pakistan and Indonesia combined or about equivalent to exports to Japan
220000 tons of those exports to Latin America moved through the Port of Savannah in 1977
Sounding a note of caution Landau said that as the European Economic Community and Japan become more attuned to markets of developing countries the US is finding itself displaced in the flows of trade and investment
Therefore Landau stressed the US businessman who obviously has the competitive edge because of his quality products ought to be much more aggressive in seeking those outlets
Landau said this situation has evolved because the EEC and Japan are much more flexible in their approach to joint ventures with developing countries and much more intent on exporting from developing countries such as Latin America to third countries and to the US
Pointing to the strong historic and cultural ties between the Southeastern United States and Latin America Landau outlined what he sees as excellent opportunities for strengthening your already extensive commercial and financial relations as well
Pointing to the twoway street of international trade Landau cautioned that if Latin America is thwarted by rampant protectionism in industrialized nationsin its ability to sell commodities manufactured goods and services at fair pricesthe region could again lapse into poverty with unforeseeable economic social and political consequences
As the US becomes more dependent upon foreign imports such as oil Landau observed it is clear that the US will have to rely increasingly on Latin American sources of supply In 1976 Latin America provided 24 percent of US petroleum imports 34 percent of iron ore 47 percent of bauxite and 48 percent of copper which together are the most essential raw materials for modern industry The region is also the principal source of supply to the US of basic agricultural commodities such as sugar coffee cocoa and bananas
Consequently Landau contends the US clearly has a vested interest not only in intensifying trade with Latin America but also generally in stimulating both bilaterally and through participation in a variety of multilateral institutions the attainment by Latin America of ever improving levels of economic growth and social wellbeing

PORT EQUALIZATION OF RAIL RATES A SOUND POLICY of port equalized rail rates followed over the last four decades has contributed substantially towards the emergence of orderly port development in the South Atlantic region of the United States This policy has served well the nations foreign commerce It has permitted commerce to move freely through as many available ports as circumstance would reasonably permit
Currently the Rail Services Planning Office of the Outerstate Commerce Commission is examining this element of importexport shipments Hearings have been held in recent months to address issues defined by RSPO and the study conducted by its office on the subject Overwhelming consensus of port interests mandates that this practice continue in the public interest
Convenience and the character of service provided are important in the shippers choice of a port just as they are in the
purchase of retail goods and services generally The dominant and controlling consideration in the choice of ports is price just as it is elsewhere in the marketplace
Elimination of the practice of equalized longhaul rail rates covering the highly industrialized MidWestern America region would seriously impair the shippers choice of ports to and from this vital region An immediate increase in the flow of foreign trade goods to the too few ports enjoying geographical advantage to this hinterland will contribute dramatically to the existing congestion in these ports
Continuation of this equalized longhaul rail rate concept will permit MidWestern shippers to enjoy lower transportation costs on large machinery and other goods flowing to and from new markets of developing nations and existing foreign markets
Shippers comments in support of this practice should be directed to the RSPO in Washington by September 181978 Act now

FIRST BLESSING OF MERCHANT FLEET
THE PORT of Savannah marked the first annual Blessing of the Merchant Fleet on June 29 an event that officials of the sponsoring US Propeller Club Port of Savannah promise will become a tradition in the port
Merchant vessels entering the Savannah Harbor blew whistles and raised their flags in recognition of the occasion
According to Charles H Denmark Commander USCGRet President of the local Propeller Club the massive container ships freighters and tankers that call the Port of Savannah cannot be included in the established fleet blessings in the Coastal Empire because of their size So we are taking the blessing to the merchant fleet
Merchant vessels tied up in private and State Ports facilities in the 10mile stretch of the Savannah Harbor received the blessing from six local clergymen
aboard the US Coast Guards harbor patrol boat Participating in the blessing were the Rev Mario Balbi Port Harbor Facilities chaplain the Rev L Scott Stell Bethlehem Baptist Church the Rev
Frank M Kirlangitis St Pauls Greek Orthodox Church the Rev William Oliver St Thomas AME Church Rabbi Saul J Rubin Mickve Israel Temple and the Rev A Dale Umbreit Savannah Port Society chaplain
Pointing out that many members of the local maritime community have long felt the need for such an event Denmark emphasized that the Blessing of the Merchant Fleet in the Port of Savannah will be an annual event
June 29 was chosen for the blessing because the date marks the Feast of St Peter Patron Saint of Seamen and Fishermen

THE GEORGIA PORTS Authority has expanded working hours for receiving and delivering containers at Container Central
The new hours are 700 am to 700 pm Monday through Friday holidays excepted
In making the announcement Robert W Goethe Assistant Executive Director pointed out that trucks must arrive at the terminals for loading or unloading prior to 500 pm These working hours do not apply to the working of
ships or to the Container Freight Station
By extending the working hours of this heavily used container facility Goethe added we will take advantage of as many day light hours as possible and provide users of the facility with greater flexibility for their receiving and delivering of containers Goethe revealed that since the expanded gate complex and double capacity terminal with two additional container cranes was opened early this year the volume of containers handled each month has increased 15 percent
Goethe explained that the advent of a new computer system controlling inventory at GPA helped implement the
extension of work hours On June 1st Georgia Ports installed its computer control system for container Central using nine CRT units operated through GPAs IBM 370138 computer system
The GPA Goethe said is constantly looking for ways to better serve GPA customers as well as the shipping lines and users of our facilities

3rd Governors International Development Conference

GOVERNOR GEORGE BUSBEE has predicted a continuing explosive growth of Georgias international business community
In an address to the 3rd annual Governors International Development Conference in Atlanta Busbee contrasted the 150 international facilities in 1975 with the 300 international concerns currently doing business in the State of Georgia
Pointing to the export of Georgia products as an integral factor in the economic growth and development of Georgia Busbee said that exports tripled between 1972 and 1976 Citing figures from the USJapan Trade Council the Governor revealed that Georgia farmers last year supplied about 44 percent of total US shipments of peanuts to Japan an estimated 36 million pounds The state tied with Arkansas according to Busbee as the
largest exporter of chicken to Japanese consumers with sales estimated at 15 million pounds from Georgia In addition more than three million pounds of Georgias fluecured tobacco went to Japan in 1977
Governor Busbee said that the total export of Georgia manufactured and agricultural products well exceeds 2 billion
The international companies operating here and the Georgia international business community invariably must look to the availability of ocean freight services to complement their total operation Busbee said
We now have the most outstanding container shipping facilities in the South Atlantic Busbee asserted and these facilities continue to expand to support our international effort
ABOVE Georgia Governor George Busbee addresses the 3rd annual Governors International Development Conference at the Omni in Atlanta BELOW Executives of Southern Railway Sabena Belgian World Airways US Lines Delta Airlines and Flying Tiger Lines and others discussed
international passenger and air freight service rail and trucking services in Georgia marine insurance and foreign freight forwarding and customhouse brokerage during the 3rd annual Governor s International Development Conference
Underscoring the equal importance of heavy lift capability in the ports Busbee told about a Japanese manufacturer of heavy moving equipment which had been using a port outside Georgia but which is now utilizing Georgia Ports facilities in Savannah because of the improved lift capability
Governor Busbee pledged that the Georgia Ports Authority and my administration will continue to expand our ports capabilities to keep us competitive with neighboring ports My administration will continue to support the expanded growth of the ports of Brunswick and Savannah and the inland barge terminals at Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus
Morris L Shadburn Jr Executive Sales Manager of Georgia Highway Express Inc told a Conference seminar that the growth in international trade in the past few years has caused many trucking companies to create international departments or representatives within their organizations
Shadburn pointed out that motor carrier service is abundantly available anywhere within the state of Georgia He said that 30 carriers provide service to the principal port city of Savannah and 61 communities in Georgia have one or more terminal facilities of motor carriers
Shadburn added that the advent of two new direct European flights at the Atlanta airport have greatly enhanced the overall transportation picture in Georgia
The Governors International Development Conference enables overseas companies operating in Georgia to maintain an awareness of the attitude of state government in encouraging all areas of international trade and development
Officials say the Conference will continue to grow as an annual event

GEORGIA THE Sunflower State It may look that way if you toured the State in the last few weeks as thousands of acres of Georgias landscape were ablaze with the beautiful bloom of millions of sunflowers
Although lovely to behold the appearance on the scene of the lofty sunflower was not the work of over zealous Garden Clubs but the commercial ingenuity of Georgia farmers according to Jack Bowen of Metter
Bowen who has 20000 acres of sunflowers under contract in Georgia South Carolina and Florida for one customer in the Netherlands says the production of sunflowers is a natural for farmers in our area
The seeds will germinate at a soil temperature of 40 degrees F can withstand temperatures of 20 degrees F and mature in 90 days This affords two crops per season Based on this 90 day life cycle a second crop can be planted as late as August 16th Bowen cited another advantage sunflowers need only onethird as much water as corn reducing risk and irrigation costs
According to Bowen contracts guarantee the grower 9 cents per pound plus onehalf of any actual selling price over 9 cents when sold at the prevailing world market price In addition growers reserve a premium of ninetenths of one cent for each percent of oil content

At Skidaway Institute of Oceanography
Georgias Marine Science Program
IN LITTLE MORE than a decade the State of Georgia has developed a Maripe Science Program that is making possible an enlightened stewardship of the coastal estuaries marshland and barrier islands
In a 1967 proposal to the Environmental Services Administration by the Georgia Science and Technology Commission appear the words Georgias development may well be the most important concentration of oceanographic activity in the nation
The sanguine words of this early proposal are well on their way to reality While the University System does not pose its programs competitively with other institutions and admits to the seniority of some of them the Georgia program as administered through the University of Georgia is impressive in its vitality and is second to none in support and enthusiasm
The oceanographic activity is centered at Skidaway Island part of the necklace chain of coastal islands rich in history and stunning in beauty A deed of gift from Mr and Mrs Robert Roebling and the Union Camp Corporation made available a highland site fronting both on the Intracoastal Waterway and Wassaw Sound
The Skidaway Institute is engaged in multinational national regional and State research programs It has also made its research services available in local programs such as shore erosion and restoration Its stewardship is widespread in the public interest Some fourteen investigators are involved in its work The dominant theme of its endeavors is environmental its investigations related to physical chemical and microbiological activities on the Inner and Outer Continental Shelf Typical of the physical studies in this area are the hydrological patterns as they appear between the Gulf Stream
and the Coast heretofore a largely undisclosed field Much of the work of the Institute is related to projected energy developments the objective being to accommodate these installations with a minimum of displacement to the environment
The Marine Extension Center located adjacent to the Skidaway Institute is furnishing a service on a scale hitherto not available the introduction of literally thousands
coastal Georgia and hailed by the sportsfishing industry as a long needed aid The Service with its own vessels is developing information on the finfishery resource snappers groupers porgies large croakers and others to expand the present seasonal shell fishery
The Marine Extension Service operations are soon to be augmented by a Fisheries building at Brunswick The Marine Institute at Sapelo
of Georgia students to the resources and values of the Georgia Coast Lectures visual aids land and water field trips combined with laboratory work make this coastal orientation a dramatic adventure Teachers are requesting reservations at the Center a year in advance
The Marine Extension Service is bringing to the fishing community instruction and demonstration in newer catch techniques both in net and trawl design as well as better management practices The determination of mineral resources and shelfbottom profiling also fall within this purview
The Service is also helping the 50 million annual Georgia seafood processing industry through its applied research facilities particularly in problems related to waste disposal A collateral of this is the production of salable items from waste products such as chitosan useful as a coagulant in industrial processes A county series of maps is also being published by the Service showing fishing drops in
continues to make its contributions to our understanding of estuarine ecologya great deal of our knowledge of the role of marshlands in the marine food chain emanated from Sapelo Also Georgia Tech is making a substantive contribution to the marine effort as well as other institutions in the System These in general are channelled through the University of Georgia
Funding sources making this effort possible are the Governor and the Legislature of the State of Georgia and principal Federal sources represented by the Office of Sea Grant the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy
The marine program in Georgia is busy The vital information base that the Skidaway Institute is providing to the planners in destinymaking decisions involving the Coast the enlightenment that is being provided by the Extension Service to the students the citizenry and the marine vocations all bespeak a sound approach to the exacting conditions of modern lifeO

Peggy McElwaney with five years in the shipping industry who is the first export manager in the Atlanta office concentrating on ocean freight
Pam Roy with nine years in air freight who joined the Atlanta staff to handle air exports

Ernest L Wingard a 20year veteran of Georgia Highway Express Inc who has retired to become Director of International Sales for Bruce Duncan Companys AtlantaSavannah district
Watrous summed it up this way In the international transportation industry people make the service what it is or is not It is our concept of hiring persons with young aggressive ideas and motivated personalities that enables Bruce Duncan Company to continue enjoying its growth and expansion of services to the public

AMERICAN NORITS RAW MATERIALS MOVE THROUGH PORT OF SAVANNAH
AMERICAN NORIT COMPANY Inc of Jacksonville Florida is importing part of the raw materials for the production of activated carbon through Georgia Ports Authoritys Container Central
Norit NV was founded in 1912 and pioneered in developing processes for using activated carbons to decolorize and purify many materials in their liquid vapor or gas phases Norit NV is the only company of its size in the world entirely specialized in the field of activated carbon and it and its subsidiaries currently produce nearly 20 percent of the world output of activated carbon
In 1934 Norit NV established American Norit Company Inc in Jacksonville Florida as a production warehousing and distribution center That operation has grown steadily to the extent that
carbons must now be imported through both the Ports of Jacksonville and Savannah in order to meet the growing demand for the companys activated carbons
Norit activated carbon is used to help filter the blood of kidney patients and according to Ronald E Litton Accounts Manager with American Norit vitamins clothing made of synthetic material soft drinks sugar and many other products are made with activated carbon Ships crews drink water purified with activated carbon and chemical plant workers breathe air purified with carbon filters Every day Norit activated carbons touch a growing segment of our lives
10 to 20 containers carrying raw materials for Norits activated carbons move in import each month through GPAs Container Central

Area indicated where construction of new bulk storage warehouse is underway at Brunswick
THE GEORGIA Ports Authority has developed a program under which the facilities in the Port of Brunswick have become one of the most complete bulk ports along the eastern seaboard
Construction of a bulk storage warehouse and material handling system is now underway This new building with wooden laminated arches will have over 50000 square feet of floor space This facility will be able to accommodate both corrosive and noncorrosive products of all kinds The material handling system in the building will provide the capability for ship unloading conveyor systems to carry the commodities to and from the buildings loading and receiving conveyors and a reclaimer conveyor within the building The system will also provide for rail car and truck loading and unloading as the land transportation link to serve bulk shippers
This 312foot long by 163foot
By William J Jakubsen Manager Bulk Cargo Sales Inland Port Development
wide building will have arched beams roofed by plywood and asphalt shingles with corrugated metal siding and translucent plastic panels on the ends It will provide a 30foot recovery isle in the interior of the building and a new rail spur will be constructed adjacent to the facility for train unloading The building will be constructed behind the present transit sheds and loading docks at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick Dock It will provide 15000 tons of storage capacity with a handling system rated at 500 tons per hour based on a bulk material weighing 50 pounds per cubic foot
An existing crane will be modified for clam shell operations for ship unloading Construction of this facility began in August 1978 and
will take between nine and twelve months for completion
In addition to the new bulk warehouse shippers will be able to take advantage of the existing facilities which consist of three berthing docks and general cargo facilities which include such features as double marginal tracks two transit sheds totaling 132000 square feet truck ramps a 100000 lbs truck scale a 25 ton gantry crane and open storage for products which do not require warehousing
The Brunswick area is the ideal port for bulk commodities From land or sea the Port of Brunswick provides the shipper advantages Located closer to the open sea with easier access for deepwater ships than any other port on the South Atlantic this ideal harbor is a natural gateway to a vast agricultural and industrial hinterland Without question the land sea and facility logistics are perfect for bulks at Brunswick

In Europe and In Asia national policies are targetted towards export goals to achieve international sales for economic growth and tax revenues President Carter on April 11 1978 formed a task force to develop such a national export policy for the United States Export financing and financial incentives research and development and government regulation as it impacts export sales have been designated as major areas of concern in putting the game plan together
These efforts certainly are being followed closely by all American shippers maritime and port industries in view of the large trade deficits experienced by the United States in recent years which has weakened the dollar increased inflation at home and tilted the world economy U S efforts since 1960 have fallen from 17 of total world exports to 12 in 1977 During the same period our balance of trade has gone from 5 billion in surplus to approximately a 32 billion deficit
To make a national export policy work port facilities and harbors with adequate channel depths to accommodate the ships
are vital and indispensable Yet Washington does not seem to be aware of this or the complexity of problems that have beset our harbors due to this lack of awareness They find it expedient to continue to label muchneeded harbor improvements as porkbarrel projects and ignore the basic needs in transporting foreign trade goods to meet export goals
The 1978 Public Works Authorization Bill Omnibus Bill died in midOctober 1978 when it was brought to the floor of Congress and there was not a quorum to vote on it The President however had previously stated that he would veto it if passed In the bill was the Savannah Harbor widening project This bill would have authorized widening of the harbor in the Port of Savannah to facilitate twoway ship traffic in one of the fastest growing ports on the east coast How in the world can this project be labelled as a porkbarrel project
One of these days when our new export policy is geared up for launching I hope someone remembers to check the depth of the water in the creek

Above RightParticipating in ribboncutting ceremonies officially opening Interstate 16 between Macon and the Port of Savannah are P E Clifton Sr Georgia Ports Authority member Governor George Busbee and Commissioner Tom Moreland George Department of Transportation
Below Part of the large crowd that gathered to witness the opening of Interstate 16
The last 25mile stretch of Interstate 16 was officially opened to traffic in late September
Georgia Governor George Busbee who led a delegation of state officials to the ceremonies conducted under an interchange bridge that carries State Route 23 across 116 at Metter Georgia told a crowd that the 1652 mile span was completed three to five years ahead of schedule Busbee called it a bargain pointing out that instead of waiting for additional federal funding the state issued bonds for completion of 116 which meant a substantial savings in expenditures Under the original schedule 116 was slated to be completed between 1981 and 1983 The opening of this final leg of 116 marks the completion of all of Georgias Interstate Highways
Governor Busbee praised the Georgia General Assembly describing the legislation body as dedicated to providing the people of our state the modern efficient transportation systems they want and need
Georgia Transportation Commissioner Tom Moreland said that I16 not only opens up coastal Georgia to the rest of the state and the nation for tourism purposes but is a tremendous economic funnel to Georgias ports Moreland indicated that the latter was one of the prime motivations for completing 116 years ahead of schedule
P E Clifton Sr of Savannah a member of the Georgia Ports Authority said the completion of 116 gives a substantial boost to plans for further expansion of Georgia Ports facilities and will help bring the ports to their full potential

New Facility On Colonels Island
GROUNDBEAKING FORSCM
Robert D Miles standing at podium SecretaryTreasurer of Georgia Ports Authority was master of ceremonies Seated are RPT Young SCM Organic Chemicals President and Governor George Busbee
Ground has been broken for a multimillion dollar plant SCM Corporation will build on Colonels Island near Brunswick Georgia on a 192 acre site acquired from the Georgia Ports Authority
Design engineering work is in progress on the SCM Organic Chemicals Division plant which will refine sulfate turpentine a byproduct of the kraft paper industry into chemical components for use by various corporations in the production of diverse chemical products
RPT Young SCM Organic Chemicals President reiterated SCMs determination to conduct our operations in a way that will minimize
our impact on the environment
Production at the Colonels Island plant will supplement the output from SCMs Organic Chemicals plant in Jacksonville Florida
Commenting on SCM Organics future Paul H Elicker SCM President told the audience We confidently expect Organic Chemicals to grow in importance to our corporation Reflecting that growing role it recently became a full fledged division Based on sales it has been receiving more than its proportionate share of the corporations capital spending and research and development budgets
Georgia Governor George Busbee was among sixty state and local officials who joined SCM officials in groundbreaking ceremonies sponsored by the Brunswick Golden Isles Chamber of Commerce
Busbee pointed out that the location of the SCM plant on the stateowned Colonels Island will attract other industries and will be a big factor in bringing about a deep water channel to the island
The story of Colonels Island has been a chicken and egg story We need a deep water channel but we also need industry to make the channel feasible according to Busbee who added We need a general cargo berth but we need an industry to utilize that berth and a channel to allow ships to call at that berth
The U S Army Corps of Engineers is currently studying the feasibility of such a channel as a part of the Brunswick Harbor study
Busbee praised the Brunswick Port Authority which he pointed out is now doing more bulk business than any port on the Eastern Seaboard between Tampa and Cape Hatteras
Busbee said that the proceeds from the sale of land to SCM have been plowed back into improvements on Colonels Island by addition of a rail spur and a paved access road thus supplementing the investment of half a million dollars in improvements to Colonels Island by the Georgia Ports Authority
Busbee assured the gathering that the team effort involving the Georgia Ports the Department of Industry and Trade and local industrial solicitation agencies toward attracting new industry will continue

held similar positions at Stevens in the past
But not all the 84 members of the SWTA have fared as well in their dealings with men in the transportation industry According to Mrs Sandra Jones current SWTA President we had tried to get into the Mens Traffic Club in Savannah They werent anxious to have us join though a few women got in So we started our own group

James W Edgin VicePresident of EUROCONATLANTA said the service will enable AtlantaSoutheast exporters to move their goods to the Common Market countries at existing full container rates applicable FROM Atlanta
Edgin pointed out that this type of service and rate structure is not presently available in the Atlanta area and will result in our exporting community being more able to competitively sell their products in the EURO market From the survey that EUROCONATLANTA has conducted this service is sorely needed by the Atlanta area exporters and freight forwarders and should give the area the competitive edge to move Atlanta and the Southeast area even further into the international scene

George J Nichols
The
Executive
Corner
Ten times a year in and out of her slip
she ran to Savannah and then
We heard she was gone it wasnt true Its a grim mistake
Our thoughts still linger with the words of the poet Yon Swanson as he spoke at the memorial service for the crew of the Combi Lines lash ship MNCHEN at the Port of Savannah Seamens House
Our prayers are with the bereaved
FAMILIES OF THE CREW
It is wisely said that history is the strength of our foundations as Yon continues to say in his poem
Aye ever the sea shall humble us and drown our boastful pride for all ships sail in sufference on the graves of the hosts whove died
We draw upon our divine gifts we who live on as we ready ourselves for the new year Again we will look seaward and proclaim in the words of the seamans poet Yon Swanson
Here they come Beat the drum up the river to our city from sea Make them welcome and lets show them
weve a lot of them to see they wholl carry tales with cargo when they sailwith no embargo of what we who make them welcome

THE 12TH ANNUAL Georgia Foreign Trade Conference was marked by a record turnout of more than 600 according to Conference officials
Thomas McGoldrick of Strachan Shipping Company General Chairman of the Conference said he was gratified at the number of shippers more than 100 attending the Conference October 31 through November 2 at the Sheraton Savannah Inn
Attendees witnessed some sparks between speakers in the first day of business as the major spokesmen in a jurisdictional controversy outlined the positions of their respective agencies
Federal Maritime Commission Chairman Richard Daschbach in a reversal of his traditional stand came out for FMC support and jurisdiction over closed steamship conferences for lines engaged in U S foreign trade Emphasizing that he still favors bilateral and pooling agreements Daschbach indicated a preference for carriers to exercise freedom of choice in rationalization of services which would be of the greatest benefit to them
I think it is an idea whose time has come Daschbach said and conceded that this is a reversal of his sentiments of six months ago
Commenting on the FMCs regulatory role Daschbach pointed to two of the most critical problems in our foreign ocean commerce rebating and the threat posed by nonmarket economies which are moving closer to resolution with a timely assist from the U S Congress and the Carter Administration Although the controlledcarrier and antirebating legislation must be supplemented with further legislative and executive action there are better ways to deal with continuing problems in our ocean commerce than vesting the FMC with additional armaments Our need today is for a new battle plan not more weapons
In Port of Savannah 12th Annual
GEORGIA FOREIGN TRADE CONFERENCE
Underlining the benefits of the innovative proposals Daschbach pointed out that A network of closed conferences shippers councils and fully rationalized trades will finally bring U S policies into greater consonance with those of our trading partners The most apparent benefits will be increased harmony with other maritime nations better trading relationships and new opportunities to take cooperative approaches to international shipping problems of mutual concern
Another speaker took issue with Daschbachs endorsement of antitrust immunity for shippers councils U S law currently prohibits closed steamship conferences
Donald L Flexner Deputy Assistant Attorney General and head of the U S Justice Departments Antitrust Division emphasized that his agency will continue to do all it can to find ways to promote competition in ocean shipping For that reason Flexner said his department intends to persist in its FMC regulatory activity
In delineating the role of the Antitrust Division Flexner pointed
out that in the last 12 months We have filed comments opposing five intermodal agreements eight rate agreements between conferences or conferences and independent carriers and four pooling agreements
Flexner also cited instances in which the Justice Department felt that The FMC has failed to adequately review and monitor agreements among ocean carriers to prevent undue anticompetitive harm
A vigorous advocacy program by Justice seemed indicated according to Flexner because of the importance of liner shipping to U S economy the apparent trend toward increasing cartelization of ocean shipping and the steady inflation of transportation rates
The Carriers Viewpoint on the theme of the 12th annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference A New United States Maritime Policy highlighted the first days business with three U S and three foreign lines represented on the panel
While five of the six panelists supported shippers councils and ratemaking authority in any new maritime policy they split over the third central issue closed conferences
Urging limitations panelist James Crowley Senior Vice President Moore McCormack Line said closed conferences should be allowed in some U S trades but not be mandatory for all U S trades The United States has no maritime policy worth the name Crowley charged and we are largely devoid of any significant awareness of foreign commerce and geopolitics except in the context of an occasional panic brought on by crisis because neither the Executive nor Congressional branches has displayed the leadership to develop and encourage such a policy
Pursuing his indictment of the federal government Crowley pointed out that Despite

administration assurances that the Maritime Administration has substantial programs to promote the American Merchant Marine and American ship construction
48 million deadweight tons of US ownership is employed transporting commerce under flag of convenience registry while a total of only 17 million tons is employed in foreign trades under US flag registry and while our shipyard industry languishes the largest privatelyowned U S flag line operator is forced to build what amounts to a substantial fleet in foreign yards
Crowley advised the Conference in our maritime relations with others we must act on the premise that we share with our trading partners a mutuality of interest that our exports are their imports and vice versa We must avoid continuing to impose upon trades we share our untried and moralistic theories regarding an undefined concept of free trade
R Kenneth Johns Executive Vice President and General Manager Atlantic Division SeaLand Services Inc described problems plaguing exporters as
The federal governments antibusiness attitude Official US interpretation of international law An eroded US dollar and A decline in manufacturing productivity
Lamenting the lack of a solid national program of assistance in selling abroad Johns said exporters must also cope with the U S governments blind insistence that American law must prevail over all even if it is diametrically opposite to the law of the country in which you are trying to trade
An overall reduction in U S manufacturing productivity Johns continued makes foreign manufacturers more competitive in the world market which makes the U S exporters job more difficult
Johns voiced a consensus refrain when he cited the need for formulation of a national maritime
policy a need he said is underscored by direct and surrogate invasion of U S trades by the Soviets the obviously obsolete 62yearold Shipping Act and the realworld fact that only U S carriers are effectively reached under the Shipping Act or U S antitrust laws
Arthur C Novaceck President of Moram Agencies Inc which represents Soviet flag lines told the Conference that Many of the proposed changes will gradually but surely reduce the options available to the American shipper and forwarder and make them noncompetitive in the world market place
He said U S flag lines enjoy various forms of subsidy and cargo preference advantages which he feels have created an American flag fleet of sophisticated container roro and bargecarrying vessels second to none in the world
Novaceck continued we must assume that it was not the intent of Congress to drive carriers from the U S trades but rather to closely monitor and regulate their ratemaking activities However
the new legislation was obviously designed to reduce competition in ocean shipping and was supported by established major lines
Donald Aldridge Executive Vice President of United States Lines voiced some salient thoughts on shippers councils disputes between shippers and carriers and intermodal agreements He told the Conference The logical answer is for the government to give the shippers council concept antitrust immunity without which it will never evolve to allow the concept the chance to develop and forge its own role
Aldridge said he opposes the government handling arbitration of shipping conference shippers council disputes when the two factions are unable to resolve differences
Development of the intermodal traffic system has created an indisputable need for joint ratemaking between modes of transport Aldridge said The rationale of antitrust law immunity has been clearly established in investigations and hearings preceding Congressional

actions It is time for a clear reaf firmation of policy if we are to avoid the continuation of the existing destablizing conditions and endangerment of further development of intermodal traffic
Hans Druegg President of Hapag Lloyd America Inc told the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference that the United States should practice more enlightened selfinterest in regard to its merchant fleet He said that many Europeans engaged in liner shipping with the U S are astonished that the nation with the largest overseas trade and which in effect should consider itself an island nation is so utterly neglecting the wellbeing of its own merchant fleet
Druegg feels that technological innovations such as containerization have been working more to the benefit of eager foreign competitors than the U S liner companies It is no surprise that the Soviet Unions merchant fleet is rapidly outgrowing that of the United States
Druegg said he is personally gratified that the most important U S liner shipowners association comes out so clearly and convincinglv in favor of strong and efficiently organized conferences with effective loyalty contracts and above all supports the idea
of consultation and shippers councils
That dissenting sixth panelist was Captain Michael Kahn President of Solar International Shipping Agency general agents for Yang Ming Marine Line in the U S He characterized a closed conference as a dangerous threat to world merchant marine trade Captain Kahn also cautioned that the right of independent carriers internationally must be protected rationally if the United States wishes to maintain its position in international trade
During the shippers panel Jesse C Jessen ExportImport Manager E I DuPont de Nemours and Company Inc voiced opposition to closed conferences He contends they lead to increased labor and operating costs poorer service and higher rates On the matter of shippers councils Jessen expressed a preference for more statesmanlike conferences with jurisdiction for intermodal rates If this is not possible Jessen said a shippers council with authority to negotiate rates may be necessary
Jessen is opposed to deferred rebates which he describes as in the same class as dual rate conferences which promise a reduction in theory while removing freedom of action from shippers
To improve the present system Jessen told the Trade Conference tariffs must be simplified all rates must be compensatory we must have reasonable GRI increases with no flag outs the UNCTAD Code of Liner Services must be adopted to require a minimum of 40 percent of cargo on U S flag ships and there must be stronger participation by FMC with approval of all rates less than 10 percent below conference rates Carriers should be permitted to operate at mutually agreed upon rate levels pending FMC action
U S exporters are in a bind because too many agencies are already involved in the opinion of Robert Stinson Distribution Sales Manager of Lilliston Corporation However I do feel it would be possible to have one central governmental agency responsible for all aspects of exporting to act as spokesman for shippers and carriers Stinson also feels that conferences might benefit by having a representative at each port for the purpose of contact with area shippers
Another shipper opposed to increasing government regulation was Gary L Gore Distribution Coordinator AngloAmerican Clays Corporation who joined other panelists in opposing closed conferences and in support of shippers councils On the subject of government regulation

Gore voiced a conviction that these bureaucratic agencies diminish the ability of American exporters to compete effectively in world trade
Robert C Otto General ManagerImport Department KMart Corporation thinks the conference problem must get first priority in President Carters establishment of a new maritime policy Many shipping companies have not kept pace with the times in adjusting to new competition arising around the world
Otto says they have made adjustments in the number of sailings the size and speed of ships along with an upward spiral of rates but are still following an outmoded and sometimes irresponsible conference system What would happen if Sears J C Penney Montgomery Ward and KMart got together on a regular basis and issued price lists Our inflation would spiral and the Antitrust Division would have us all in court KMart has supported the conference system but the competitive situation changed Otto contends the dual rate should be abolished right of independent action should be available in all conferences Carte Blanche rate increases on bills of lading before notification should
not be allowed Shipper councils are essential to consult with and counteract conference influence
Raiferd L Drew President of Lummus Industries Inc advised the Foreign Trade Conference participants to get your act in order and project unity in presenting problems and solutions to government officials Scrapping his prepared remarks Drew advised exporters to air their problems in formats such as the Trade Conference so that they can reach a consensus on matters of mutual concern and present a united front when dealing with federal agencies and making recommendations on national maritime policy
Roger J Schoemer Senior Vice President of Southwire Company was in accord with Drew on the need for proper preparation and presentation in dealings with the federal government Sounding an optimistic note Schoerner told the Conference there is good news for shippers and carriers in the program for export trade expansion announced by President Carter in September In addition to expansion of the Eximbank authorization 700 million in 1977 to 36 billion in 1979 Carter has ordered reduction of red tape environmental and anti trust restrictions which make
American agriculture and industry noncompetitive overseas Schoerner also revealed that a special anti trust committee of which he is a member is working to permit more joint ventures especially those created for single activities such as giant construction projects
Dave Howard publisher of the AMERICAN SHIPPER magazine moderated both the Carriers Viewpoint and Shippers Viewpoint panel sessions
Conference General Chairman McGoldrick has announced that plans for next years Foreign Trade Conference are already in high gear McGoldrick revealed that the 13th annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference will return to the Sheraton Savannah Inn

tend from Florida to New England and west to Colorado Overseas Union Camp either owns or has an interest in eleven container and bag plants in France four container plants in Spain and the Canary Islands and one container plant in Israel
The Savannah Operation
Union Camps Savannah complex is the largest facility of its kind in the world employing over 4000 people with an annual payroll in excess of 70 million
The plant is located approximately two miles northnorthwest of historic downtown Savannah on the Savannah River The plant site is a 450acre tract which includes some 70 acres under roof one of the largest railyards in the region and the Companys own ninehole golf course
Five corporate divisions are represented at Savannah each separate profit centers They are Unbleached pulp and paper mill Bag Container Chemical and Woodlands
The extent of the Savannah operation includes management of over one million acres of land and the annual production of approximately one million tons of kraft paper pulp linerboard saturating kraft and corrugated medium
160000 tons of bags 30000 tons of corrugated boxes and sheets and valuable byproducts including 70000 tons of black liquor soap and over one million gallons of sulfate turpentine which go to the Chemical division for
further processing Savannahs pulp and paper mill operation has the distinction of being the worlds largest The production of 1002967 tons in 1974 is the largest tonnage output in the history of the mill and stands today as a worlds production record for a single pulp and paper mill
Planning and Traffic
Production sales and distribution are coordinated through the efforts of the Planning and Traffic Department in Savannah by Hiram Ware a 29 year veteran with Union Camp
Ware best describes the function of his department as the coordination of customer demands with the mills production capacity and the delivery of their product by the most efficient and economical mode of transportation available
The Planning and Traffic Department at Savannah coordinates not only the Savannah plant but mills in Montgomery Alabama and Monroe Michigan The Montgomery plant produces 375000 tons of linerboard a year with approximately 1000 tons per month moving to Savannah for export The Monroe plant is a complete recycling mill producing 75000 tons of automotive board per year
The Savannah mill produces approximately one million tons of paper products annually which in itself produces a monumental exercise in transportation logistics to the Planning and Traffic Division
Fifteen percent of Savannahs annual production moves in export via Georgias ports
Key personnel in Traffic at Savannah are Dick Bagley Traffic Manager Dick Lisicia Assistant Traffic Manager a man who concentrates on exports entirely and Bill Jordan Coordinator of Export Products
Ware projects a repeat of 1978 export sales in 1979 which totalled
175000 tons He also reports a new machine coming on stream in the Montgomery plant in 1980 which will double that mills production and afford Union Camp the capacity to increase exports substantially if the market warrants
New Export Product
During the last year and at a cost of 10 million one of the machines in the Savannah mill has been converted to produce Saturating Kraft for the production of decorative laminates
Saturating Kraft formerly made in Union Camps Franklin Virginia Mill is made from a blend of 80 percent hardwood and 20 percent pine and requires a high degree of quality control in its production
Domestic and export sales of this new Savannah product are managed by Jim Ros who is quite enthusiastic on the potential of Saturating Kraft in the export market In the short time it has been in production at Savannah sales both domestic and export are expected to top the
50000 ton mark
Union Camp received the Presidential E for Export Award in 1964 They are not resting on their laurels exports continue to move ahead at the worlds largest pulp and paper mill

In 1970 Horst F Winter was named Assistant European Director and on Magraths retirement in 1973 became the Director of our European office
The mission of our European office is best summarized by Horst Winter who stated Our main efforts in Europe are to assist shippers in making the proper decisions on how to route their cargo at the least possible expense to inform the shipping public of our port facilities and their capabilities for handling various types of cargo and last but not least to attract tonnages and additional liner services for the ports of Georgia
Bonn was selected as a strategically located base of operations for the GPA in that it provides convenient access to all Europe
The European office covers an area reaching from the Northern tip of Scandinavia to the south of France and from the United Kingdom east to Moscow
In 15 years our European office has established itself with European
importers and exporters and all facets of the shipping industry
Today the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick come quickly to mind when it concerns shipments to the U S Southeast and Middle West due to the efforts of this office supported by a diversified advertising program in the European transportation media
The success of our European office can be attributed to the same
policy practiced by the GPA Stateside Customer Service This policy was initiated by Larry Magrath and continues under Horst Winter
Our Bonn office is as our Far Eastern office in Tokyo and our Mediterranean Middle East and North African office in Athens a vital part of our port operation affording our customers a direct line of communications to all areas of our operation
HORST F WINTER Bonn Germany GPA European Director

Nabisco Dates Import Through Port of Savannah
A CARGO of 7682 short tons of dates from the Middle East moved in through the Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal in December The scrumptious commodity was bound for a National Biscuit Company processing plant in Woodbury Georgia and NABISCO storage facilities in Americus and Columbus Georgia
Plant Manager Bill Meek said the import will be utilized for a pitted date package chopped dates and a datenut roll produced by Nabisco
The 278000 boxes of dates were carried by the SAMOAN REEFER from the ports of Khorramshahr Iran and Basrah Iraq The SAMOAN REEFER is owned by the Ecuadoran Line
The seasonal shipment of dates for 25 to 30 years was split between the Port of Savannah and a North Atlantic port For the past six or
seven years the entire cargo has moved through the Port of Savannah The shipment usually arrives sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas This latest cargo was the largest shipment of dates yet through Georgia Ports Authority facilities
Local agent for the cargo of dates was Roberts Steamship Agency Custom House Broker was
D J Powers and stevedoring was by Eller and Company
This particular shipment of dates presented a rare opportunity to underscore the twoway street of international trade Once the import cargo of dates was unloaded the SAMOAN REEFER was cleaned and an export cargo of paper products from Georgia and Alabama was loaded aboard It was destined for Ecuador where the paper will be converted into cartons for bananas Q

FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION of a fourth container berth at The Port of Savannahs Garden City Terminal appears assured for next year with the approval of the design monies passed in the state supplemental budget
The design monies will be applied to the Garden City Terminal project for the provision of a new 1063 lineal foot container berth 100000 square feet of container stuffing shed space 39 acres of paved container storage area and a fifth container crane Total estimated cost of the project is 17 million and it should be completed by mid1982
The placement of this fourth container berth adjacent to the existing three is formed by the conversion of a former breakbulk area which will allow direct access in continuity to the entire container complex The additional paved acreage will run the total paved acreage for container storage to approximately 150 acres with an additional 50 contiguous acres unpaved and in reserve
In excess of four million tons of cargo was handled across the Georgia Ports Authoritys facilities in the calendar year 1978 meeting its expectations and coinciding with previous projections Since 1972 containerized cargoes have increased to comprise approximately 25 per cent of tonnages moving across Georgia Ports Authority facilities It is anticipated that approximately twothirds of the general cargo to be handled in the future will be containerized
The Authority has in its longterm plans future development forecasts for Hutchinson Island on its 150acre terminal site with construction to begin in the mideighties Longterm plans for expansion are being made in conjunction with forecasts that international trade through United States ports will double within the next decade

BARBER BLUE SEA INITIATES SUPERCARRIER SERVICE
THE VISIT OF the MS BARBER TOBA on March 10 marked the beginning of an important new roundtheworld service for the Port of Savannah Citing Americas expanding trade with developing countries in the Far East Middle East and Southeast Asia Barber Blue Sea made a 200 million commitment to meeting these needs by contracting construction of six supercarriers the six vessels should be operational by mid1979 and will begin making biweekly calls This new service will combine
with Barbers existing schedule to provide regular weekly service for Savannah
The key attribute of the 33 million vessels is versatility They are designed to effectively handle a wide cargo mix including containers breakbulk and RoRo cargo The vessels are capable of accommodating 1800 containers or
2200000 cubic feet of noncontainerized cargo including 400 unboxed cars on special car decks In addition all kinds of rolling stock including large vehicles
heavy equipment trailers 120 reefer containers and special containers can be handled Heavy lifts of up to 400 tons are within the capability of these all purpose vessels
The main operating feature contributing to this is the stern ramp capable of handling twoway traffic of up to 800 tons of cargo per hour The massive ramp is 163 feet long and 40 feet wide with a load capacity of 400 tons
Designed to be operationally selfsufficient in ports lacking necessary shore equipment the vessels each boast one million dollars worth of shipboard handling equipment A 40ton crane can load and unload approximately 40 percent of the containers from the weather deck Seven forklifts from 4 to 35 ton capacity a 250 ton tugmaster and three 30 to 60 ton trailers enhance the complement of shipborne handling equipment
The vessels themselves are 749 feet long with a 105 foot beam Designed draught is 29 feet and the stern ramp ranks as the highest point rising to 163 feet in the stowed position The ships service speed is 21 knots with a cruising endurance of 17000 nautical miles Bow and stern thrusters greatly en

The first call of the BARBER TOBA highlighted her handling flexibility and efficiency She discharged 89 containers and a variety of mobile cranes and equipment posts of origin Hong Kong and Japan Export cargo included 14 containers and buses bound for Kuwait and Saudi Arabia A combination of RoRo and shore crane operations held working time to a minimum These numbers attest to the fact that the TOBA certainly meets Barber Blue Seas stated claims and objectives for the six ships and the service
The initiation of the new service was marked by a shipboard reception sponsored by the line for members of the local maritime community and Georgia Ports officials Barber Blue Sea President Ivar Lovald travelling with the vessel on her maiden voyage welcomed the guests A tour of the vessel was followed by a brief awards ceremony and dinnerreception sponsored by the Ships Master Harald Lovik

THE UNITED STATES resumption of diplomatic relations with the Peoples Republic of China has surrounded world traders with an aurora of speculations
Looking back on Japans industrialization and economic recovery following World War II and Taiwans industrial productivity since its founding in 1949 the economic impact on world markets of the Peoples Republic of China with its 900 million population staggers the imagination
As the Peoples Republic of Chinas diplomatic gates sealed for three decades swung open to the U S A they released a whirlwind of a personality Vice Premier Teng Hsiaoping
Vice Premier Teng impressed most members of the Congress with his political expertise He shook the unshakable members of the State Department with his continued barbes at the Soviet Union and their as he described it hegemonism the Chinese code word for the alleged Soviet desire to dominate the world
He scrambled all existing world trade statistics of the Commerce Department as he brings to market for the first time one quarter of the worlds consumers and labor force In four short days he left Washington reverberating as it has not reverberated since the brief British invasion of 1814
Atlanta was the second stop in Vice Premier Tengs 5500 mile U S itinerary He was greeted at the airport by Governor George Busbee who welcomed him to Georgia and the South
Later speaking before 1400 invited guests at a luncheon sponsored by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Center for International Studies Vice Premier Teng said The Chinese people have started the new long march toward the organization of agriculture industry national defense and science and technology This march Teng added will lead to a powerful and modernized socialist country
Teng was impressed with the rapid development

of the South over the past thirty years telling his audience There is much in your experience from which we can benefit
Throughout the southern sweep of his journey Teng emphasized the parallel of the emerging South with his own countrys long march towards modernization
In Atlanta as in all stops Teng touched all bases on his purposeful mission As he toured the Ford J assembly plant personally guided by Henry Ford II
Vice Premier Fang Yi the Chinese Minister for Science and Technology visited the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology observing computerinterpreted satellite photographs a solar energy facility and the Institutes large data processing center
Top officials of the Atlanta based CocaCola Company were much in view during Tengs Georgia visit although their negotiations with the Peoples Republic of China were signed sealed and yesterdays headlines before the Vice Premiers arrival
From Atlanta Vice Premier Teng visited Houston to inspect advance petroleum technology at the Hughes Tool Company which has sold 12 million worth of well drilling equipment to China
Tengs tour of the Johnson Space Center near Houston provided the Vice Premier with a ride in a spaceshuttle simulator which proved to be a highlight of his visit Somuchso that he requested and received a second spaceshuttle simulated voyage
enthusiastically serving as command pilot
In Seattle the 74 year old Teng slowed his pace obviously tiring from the 18 hour days of his cross country trip
Although on a limited schedule the Vice Premier did visit the Boeing Companys jumbo jet assembly line in nearby Everett Washington The Chinese have ordered three of Boeings 747SP models which are capable of flying nonstop across the Pacific
As Teng and Company departed the U S most minds were returning to norm after the startling revelation of a supersalesman emerging from the ancient walls of China the puzzle of trade with China compounds not lessens
Taking away the modern obstacles of trading with China restoration of full trade relations resolutions of the problems of frozen assets and property claims eligibility for favorable rates and loan guarantees to name a few Chinese business practices and cultural and political milieu from which they arise are unfamiliar territory to most American business people
But the wheels of commerce are ever turning
Trade missions both political and commercial are crisscrossing through the eastwest corridors

HANDLING
CONSTRUCTION IS nearing completion on the new bulk storage warehouse and material handling system at the Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick facility Erection of the laminated beams and roof sections is currently underway with project completion scheduled for midJuly on this first phase The completed structure will offer 50000 square feet of storage with a capacity of 18000 tons
As Phase I construction nears completion increased demand for bulk cargo movements in the Brunswick area has activated the start up of Phase II which will add a second
50000 square foot dry bulk storage warehouse and attendant conveyor systems
The new facility will be located adjacent to and immediately behind the Phase I warehouse The completion of this second phase pro
jected for March 1980 will increase the storage capacity to
36000 tons of bulk cargoes and will bring annual throughput capabilities of 125000 tons The proposed conveyor system will have a handling capacity of 500 tons per hour and will tie into Phase I conveyor systems Existing rail and truck loading facilities will be utilized
Current market intelligence points to a doubling of dry bulk tonnages for Brunswick within 15 years Phase II will enable GPA to attract additional tonnages from commodities including salt cake Fullers earth potash mixed fertilizers solar salt and nitrates Prospects such as these paint a positive return on investment picture and bode well for the future of Brunswicks emergence as Georgias Bulk Port

To fully grasp the industrial potential of the eight counties in Southeast Georgia one must visualize
An area about the size of the State of Connecticut
A climate and terrain of the State of Florida
A population density equal to onefifth of the State of Nevada
A 4500 square mile industrially untapped link in our nation9s Sunbelt
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA Tomorrows Frontier
Pictured at right is Seaboard Coast Lines new automated 50 million rail classification center at W ay crossWare County in the heart of Southeast Georgia
THE SOUTHEAST GEORGIA area is the next location to be developed for manufacturing and assembly facilities Situated within a one hundred mile radius of three major South Atlantic ports bracketed by four interstate highways and the hub of the most modern rail system in the country the area has taken unusual steps to prepare for the inevitable industrialization while maintaining its traditional values
What I think will happen here said Douglas businessman Francis Lott who heads the Southeast Georgia Economic Development Council is that this area will advance to a state of industrialization while maintaining the best features of the agrarian life style Weve got land labor low taxes a positive attitude toward business and the oldfashioned pride in self and community that has made the South the Mecca for industry in recent years
What will emerge will be one of the few areas in the United States where a man can make a decent honest living and still avail himself and his family of the quiet lowkeyed living situation slower pace and neighborliness that characterized rural America early in this century All of us are pulling together to make this happen for ourselves and our children This area will become one of the most
10
exciting desirable places in the country
I now see a reversal of the old trend where country kids couldnt wait to get to the big city Now the urban dwellers envy us Theyre fed up with high taxes maddening noise pollution traffic terrifying crime rates and the general stresses and hazards now associated with the urban life As the flow reverses southeast Georgia becomes a powerful competitor to the urban areas for people and industry
Lott said
Southeast Georgia as defined by Ed Bodenhamer Executive Director of the Southeast Georgia Area Planning and Development Commission is composed of eight counties Atkinson Bacon Brantley Charlton Clinch Coffee Pierce and Ware that are situated just north of the Florida line and immediately adjacent to the Georgia coast
The area developers in the eight counties agree has an impressive catalog of inducements for industrial prospects
At the top of everybodys list is the labor force Industrialists already situated in southeast Georgia agree that the labor pool is topnotch They are trouble free one said and they are trainable They are eager to learn a new skill or sharpen an old one And they work work like the dickens for you They give you a full days work for a days pay It is a source of pride and personal satisfaction with them
Another added that laborers are generally able to adapt to different tasks due probably to the variety of chores required of everyone in an agricultural setting Im constantly amazed at how quickly they can learn complex new operations he added
One industrialist from a northern state attributes the favorable labor situation to the oldfashioned work ethic I dont hear people snicker here when it is mentioned Where I came from workers thought it was a big joke Thats why I came and why I stay here
If labor attitudes are perceived
assets other area advantages are tangible Dick James Executive Vice President of the DouglasCoffee County Chamber of Commerce noted that southeast Georgia is situated atop one of the largest underground aquifers in the country Well never run short of water he said
James is even more enthusiastic about the availability of land for industrial projects Over 2000 acres of fully developed land in industrial parks are available right now in the eight counties he noted The parks feature paved streets water and sewer adequate electrical supplies and easy rail and road access
Cliff McDuffie Executive Vice President of the WaycrossWare County Chamber of Commerce points with pride to the areas advantages in transportation For a sparsely populated area he noted we have a tremendous system already Every city in the area is close to Interstates 10 95 and 75 and to a lesser extent to Interstate 16 We also have an excellent network of federal and state highways
The area has commercial air service centered in Waycross and several smaller airports in other locations International air service is as close as Jacksonville International Airport located just a few miles south of Folkston the county seat of Charlton County
McDuffie also noted that area manufacturers are easily served by the deep ports at Brunswick Savannah and Jacksonville He added that the development of the US Navys new Trident Submarine Base in the Kings Bay area of Camden County is expected to open up additional opportunities
McDuffies Waycross is and always has been a railroad town
He points with enthusiasm to the rail system in southeast Georgia noting that the Seaboard Coast Line the Southern Railway and the GeorgiaFlorida Railroad historically had much to do with the areas development
They are good strong rail systems he added They connect
11
The Southeast Georgia region boasts three state parks and the huge Okefenokee Swamp one of the nations most prized nature areas
our area to Jacksonville Brunswick Savannah Mobile Atlanta the northeast and the midwest
With obvious pride McDuffie quickly cites the Rice Yard in Waycross the Seaboard Coast Lines new automated hump yard which was built at a cost of over 50000000 He points out that it is the largest such yard in the United States All freight cars from the entire southeast come to the yard for reclassification before speeding on to their destinations anywhere in the country Direct one day service is thus available to Chicago Constructed between 1974 and 1978 it indicates SCLs firm commitment to the area McDuffie said
Diane Eaton Executive Vice President of the BlackshearPierce County Chamber of Commerce added that the most encouraging sign for future industrial development in the area is a universal attitude of receptivity toward new business and industry Its an amazing thing she said but we dont have anybody fighting progress here
Furthermore its the only area I know where everybody works together
Positive governmental attitudes are uniform as evidenced by the fact that all eight counties and the
major towns placed the Freeport Amendment on the general election ballot last year The Freeport Amendment makes an already lo w tax structure even more appealing for industry said Virginia Wade of the Charlton County Industrial Authority It is a green light that we like to flash
Financing is also readily available to new employers said Tom Deen of the AlmaBacon County Chamber of Commerce All eight counties have industrial authorities with bonding capacity and the financial institutions throughout the area are eager to work with new industry
A unique organization to help new industry in the Southeast Georgia Economic Development Council The council was formed to coordinate and promote development efforts across the eightcounty area Membership in the council is over 300 this year Composed of laymen as well as government officials and professional industrial developers the council is the only areawide volunteer group of its type anywhere in the country
With all weve got to offer here Bodenhamer said how could we possibly miss But remember that at the same time we
want to preserve the qualities that make the area a pleasant place to live
And pleasant it is starting with the climate Deen points out that the winters are moderate with an average minimum and maximum January temperature of 380 and 624 respectively
The mild south Georgia climate encourages interest in outdoor activities The low population density of the area offers the outdoorsman unlimited opportunities for hunting fishing camping and other types of outdoor recreation The area boasts three state parks and the huge Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge near Waycross one of the nations most prized nature areas The Okefenokee Swamp is accessible from three points in the area for visitors
Another outdoor attraction is Holiday Beach near Douglas a private family resort area featuring water sports camping amusements and an opry house that is fast becoming a showcase for the biggest stars of the nations country music industry
Education and cultural activities are important to the citizens of the area The focus for many of the areas artistic events are the two units of the University System of Georgia South Georgia College a residential college in Douglas and Waycross Junior College a new nonresidential unit founded in the early 1970s Waycross is also the home of WaycrossWare County Area Technical School
What were striving to do Lott concluded is to preserve the best of our rural life style while offering our people opportunity through industrialization We can have the best of both worlds The potential is here

VISITS
THE ISLAND NATION of Singapore boasts the third busiest port in the world During a recent Savannah visit that nations ambassador to the United States shared his countrys success story with local maritime and civic leaders
Ambassador Punch Coomaraswamy visited Savannah as part of a three city speaking tour sponsored by the Southern Center for International Studies Savannah was the initial stop on his trip with speeches
His Excellency Punch Coomaraswamy Ambassador of Singapore center discusses port operations with Georgia Ports Authority member P E Clifton Sr left and GPA Executive Director George Nichols
at Georgia State University and the University of South Carolina to follow During his Savannah stay he was entertained at a reception and dinner by the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce
In his remarks Ambassador Coomaraswamy detailed the modern history of Singapore beginning with the founding of a trading post in 1819 He traced Singapores development as a major spice trading port faced with problems of population and pirates through the World Wars to sovereignty in 1965 Finally he summarized the industrialization port diversification and growth that have brought his nation to its current ascendancy as the third greatest port in the
world behind only Rotterdam and Yokohama The Ambassador assured his audience third place was only a temporary condition and eventual supremacy was just a matter of time
Singapore is a 235 square mile island located at the southern tip of the Malay peninsula some 90 miles north of the equator Ideal harbor conditions and ready accessibility to key Asian trade routes have contributed heavily to Singapores emergence The port features 24 hour operations some 2780000 square feet of covered storage and the third largest oil refining capability in the world with only Rotterdam and Houston ranking ahead These factors combined to attract over 45000 vessels last year
A few noteworthy indicators of Singapores vitality were offered Singapore has always operated with a balanced budget according to the Ambassador He further stated that Singapore had never received any foreign aid boasted a strong international banking community and could claim 120 in gold reserves for every 100 of currency in circulation He summed up his countrys simple but effective trade posture stating All we ask is that trading be free and that we have free and fair access to the markets of the world and that the sea lanes remain free and open to all

ISLANDS
by Hans Neuhauser
ALTHOUGH HE NEVER saw the land he was describing 18th century real estate promoter Sir Robert Montgomery described the coast of Georgia as a paradise on earth the most delightful country in the universe Exemplary of this unique land are what Sir Robert called the Golden Isles the chain of barrier islands that lie from two to ten miles east of Georgias mainland and stretch from South Carolina to Florida
Some have compared this island chain to a string of pearls While their jewellike character cannot be disputed the islands shapes are more like chicken drumsticks bulbous at the northern end and long and tapering at the southern end This shape is the result of the strongest influence on the Golden Isles character the interaction of

powerful physical forces with a maleable sandy shore line Longshore currents flowing south along the coast carry suspended in the water billions of tiny sand grains This river of sand is interrupted each time the longshore current passes an opening between two of the barrier islands Strong tidal currents ebb and flow through the inlets changing the sea level by about seven feet twice a day When the ebb tide currents come into contact with the longshore currents the resulting turbulence causes much of the suspended sand to settle to the bottom first at the southern end of one island north of the inlet and then later at the northern end of the island south of the inlet The complex interrelationship between the longshore and tidal currents and the physical configuration of the islands and sounds results in the islands drumstick shapes
Other physical forces also contribute substantially to the islands uniqueness The interaction of wind and waves and changes in sea level are the principal forces responsible for the continual erosion and accretion of the islands The boundaries of each island changes continuously seeming to almost breathe in response to environmental conditions Even the islands themselves come and go Four thousand years ago eight of Georgias present 14 barrier islands did not exist A 250 acre island now exists where in 1957 there was only open ocean
The plants and animals that live on the islands have for the most part been able to survive in their dynamic and physically rigorous environment Occasionally they even modify that enviromnent Beach front grasses such as sea oats withstand salt spray high winds and occasional tidal inundation in the process they help form and stabilize the sand dunes These sand dunes share their sand with the beach and offshore sand bars and shoals forming what is called the sandsharing system The continued vitality of the beach as a recreational resource is dependant on the integrity of this cycle of sand sharing Behind the
dunes is the maritime forest This forest is dominated by live oaks draped with Spanish moss and grape vines Other common trees include magnolias hollies and pines Ground cover is often comprised of palmettoes The tops of the live oaks are pruned continuously by the salt spray so that in cross section the shape of the forest takes on an airplane wing shape The sculptured treetops act as an airfoil lifting ocean winds up and over the forest
The history of mans presence on the islands has been long varied and rich Indians built large oyster shell rings on Sapelo Island 3600 years ago Other tribes buried their dead in mounds on St Catherines Island a few centuries before the birth of Christ Spanish missions were established on Ossabaw and Cumberland Islands A crucial battle that ended the Spanish threat to the thirteen colonies was fought in a bloody marsh on St Simons Island Long staple sea island cotton enriched the slaveera plantations on most of the islands At the turn of the 19th century Jekyll Island became a retreat for 100 millionaires who were said to control one sixth of the worlds money supply Other wealthy families Carnegie Coffin Candler Reynolds Noble Torrey and Parsons purchased most of the islands as retreats Their offspring and heirs kept the islands largely in their natural state until recent decades
Now the islands serve a multitude of purposes although each one generally combines a principal objective with other compatable uses The US Fish and Wildlife Service owns several islands Blackbeard and Wassaw and manages them as wildlife refuges Day visitors are welcome to walk the trails and watch the waterfowl and alligators Another island Cumberland is a National Seashore being operated by the National Park Service both for the protection of the island and for peoples enjoyment of it The State of Georgia owns several islands Jekyll Island is a state park visited by over three million people

NORBOGES SHIP HAS COME
In 1927 the Swedish vessel H M
SW S FLYGIA visited the Port of Savannah To avoid wearing out their welcome the Swedish Navy made their next visit on February 10th of this year aboard H MlSW
S ALVSNABBEN
The visit was particularly satisfying for Peter Norboge Norboge Manager Stevedoring and Terminal Operations South Atlantic Strachan Shipping Company in Savannah has served as Swedish Consul in Savannah for the past ten years This performance in the later capacity resulted in another personal milestone for Norboge during the same week At a February 10th banquet at the DeSoto Hilton he was awarded the Order of the North Star the Swedish equivalent of British knighthood Wilhelm Wachmeista Swedish Ambassador made the presentation in recognition of Norboges service to that country Bengt Friedman Consul General of Sweden also
attended the ceremony Norboge is a native of Aarhus Denmark and also serves as Norwegian and Danish Consul in Savannah
Norboge was instrumental in coordinating the visit of the ALVSNABBEN to Savannah The vessel stopped in Savannah during its annual training cruise which this year included calls in Italy Spain
Ivory Coast Brazil Barbados Venezuela St Barthelemy Maderia Scotland and Savannah During her visit the ships crew toured the Savannah area travelled to Disney World visited local schools and battled an Armstrong College soccer team to a 22 tie
Upon departure the Swedish cadets had high words of praise for the hospitality extended to them and the variety of activities provided during their call Norboges role in planning the visit is certainly representative of the kind of performance that earned him his distinguished award We extend him congratulations and we trust that the wait for our next Swedish Navy visitors wont be quite as long as the last

International Trade The Next Decade
Today one sixth of everything that is grown or manufactured in the world is traded internationally totaling a current 13 trillion annually This volume of trade has been of substantial economic benefit to the United States as well as to all trading partners
The Multilateral Trade Negotiations seem to have produced some positive results that will modernize the international trading system to meet not only a heavier volume of trade but changing world economic and market conditions The United States will benefit from more equitable treatment for exports in foreign markets and from new measures for dealing with unfair trade practices by governments
If the American shipper is to be lured into international trade to reap the results of the MTN agreements he will need calm on the domestic waters to chart his course safely into the highly competitive international trade arena of the next decade
The speculation that deregulation will seriously curtail inland carrier service and
greatly increase rates to remote plant locations throughout our nation has shippers scurrying to assess their respective situations Many of the industrial plants located in the Southern region over the last few years have been to sparsely populated areas offering good sources of power reasonable taxes and excellent labor productivity This appealing scenario now seems threatened One predictable result of deregulation is certain If it comes shipping and trading patterns will change
The stage is set to provide a forum for shippers water and inland carriers government and other maritime and port interests to voice their concerns and to debate issues that affect INTERNATIONAL TRADE THE NEXT DECADE

Savannah Named I South Atlantic Port for
Zim Mainliners I

ANCHORAGE
ZimAmerican Israeli Shipping has announced the inauguration of container mainliner service to Savannah The new service will provide sailings to and from the Mediterranean the Caribbean and the Far East One of the many favorable features of the new service is a high frequency of calls with an average of six ships per month offering customers minimal dock and storage times Currently Zim has a total of ten ships involved in the service utilizing both selfowned and chartered vessels
The ships range in capacity from the smaller Keelung and Marseilles capable of handling 450 forty foot containers each to the Barcelona with a capacity of 840 forty foot and 120 twenty foot containers Zims plans call for construction in the near future of two additional vessels for the service capable of handling 820 forty footers each
The mainliner service replaces the feeder service which had previously existed In the past small Zim feeder ships picked up cargo from a number of South Atlantic ports for ultimate transfer to larger ships for the journey to the Mediterranean and the Far East The addition of the mainliner service has precluded the need for this feeder service With Savannah designated as the mainliner port for the South Atlantic range cargoes from throughout the Eastern half of the country can be overlanded here for direct transport overseas The elimination of the feeder service will effectively reduce shippers costs by avoiding additional transit time and handling
To help with the new and anticipated business precipitated by inclusion of Savannah on the mainliner run Zim has announced the appointment of Fred Tikusis as Sales Manager for Georgia He will be based in Atlanta at Suite 111 1644 Tullie Circle Atlanta
Georgia 30329 Telephone 4043254100 Assisting him in that office will be James Davison Marketing Representative and Dorothy Gresham Customer Service Representative The Atlanta office works closely with the Regional office in Savannah to serve Zims southern markets The Savannah office is located at Suite 801 Realty Building 24 Drayton Street Savannah Georgia 31402 Telephone 9122364263
Savannahs centralized location handling capabilities equipment and facilities were all contributing factors in obtaining the new service Zims experiences with GPA during the period of the feeder service further abetted their selection of Savannah from among the different feeder ports Georgia Ports cargo handling capabilities will certainly combine with Zims reliability and frequency of service to offer shippers an excellent new transportation option

The Savannah Import Distribution Center handles goods for K mart stores as far west as Kansas City and north to the Canadian border K marts continuing growth and emergence as the second largest mass merchandiser in the United Sates have necessitated the establishment and expansion of the Savannah import complex Approximately 46 percent of all K mart imports are brought in through the Savannah Import Distribution Center
An informal reception at the new warehouse initiated the days activities Representatives of shipping companies agents customs house brokers and a number of other maritime interests made the trek for the ceremonies from all over the country
ANCHORAGE
Bob Otto addressed the group during the reception He traced the history of K mart Import in Savannah from leasing of a small amount of line warehousing in 1970 through acceptance of the second 400000 square foot warehouse He attributed K marts growth in Savannah to the quality of service provided by four major groups Travis and Company Kmart agents for Savannah Georgia Ports Authority US Customs and the customs house brokers and the Savannah maritime industry including shipping companies agents stevedores and longshoremen He stated that the quality of service provided by these groups was certainly one of the reasons we are growing here in Savannah He concluded his remarks with a game plan for continued success for Kmart and its Savannah partners
Upon completion of these remarks guests were provided with a walking tour of the new facility which highlighted storage and handling capabilities Later a bus toured the vital front end of K marts Savannah operations GPAs Container Central complex The days activities concluded with an evening reception

NEW CONTAINER SERVICE
IBERO Enters US Markets
The visit of the Nura del Mar marked the initiation of an important new container service for the Port of Savannah The ship is owned by Ibero Lines of Bilboa Spain a conglomerate of nine companies operating extensive feeder service throughout Europe and the Mediterranean The new service marks Iberos first entry into the US market
Ibero will be providing service from Savannah to Leghorn Valencia and Jeddah Initially service will be on a 26 day frequency with plans calling for a reduction to 18 days with the addition of a third vessel to the schedule in the fall There is a strong possibility that service requirements will necessitate the addition of a fourth vessel next year enhancing the frequency of calls to once a week
The two vessels currently operating in the service are the Nura del Mar and the Lucia del Mar Both ships boast an 18 knot operating speed and 825 TEU capacities Cargo bookings can be handled through Iberos General Agent for the United States and Canada Alltrans International headquartered in Secaucus New Jersey In addition Alltrans has fifteen other offices located throughout North America
Ibero has a well established feeder system The Spanish company deploys 45 vessels and 15000 selfowned containers throughout Europe In addition one of its subsidiaries builds and leases containers In addition to the direct calls at Valencia
Leghorn and Jeddah Iberos feeder network will enable them to offer bills of lading for points throughout Northern Europe the Iberian Peninsula the Mediterranean the Near East and the Canary Islands Some of the ports for which bills of lading will be offered include Bilboa Oporto Leixoes Lisbon Cadiz Alicante Barcelona Marseilles and Genoa Also off the Jeddah call shipments to Damman and Riyadh can be handled with future feeders to Mombasa and Iran in the works On the US end Ibero will be seeking to attract minibridge cargoes from the Gulf and West Coasts for their European and Mediterranean feeder services
Another earmark of Iberos service is certain to be their service stability Ibero owns and operates all of the ships in both their container service and feeder system This enables them to make independent operational decisions to meet their customers needs without the problems normally encountered when shipping and handling cross company lines Ibero customers cargo will travel under their umbrella throughout the shipping process This singularity of operational responsibility is certain to enhance Iberos ability to meet their scheduling commitments This builtin stability factor will combine with Iberos frequency of calls and service diversity to assure them an emerging role in Savannahs Port picture Harrington Co Inc serve as the Savannah agent

What does this collection of near words have in common They are all abbreviations and codes utilized in conjunction with the recently implemented Georgia Ports Authority Containerized Cargo System or for short GPACCS pronounced Gee Packs While the jargon may appear a bit confusing the benefits to our customers are crystal clear
GPACCS is the product of several years of careful research development and testing During the final three months of the test period it was paralleled with the old manual system to assure accuracy The end result is a fully computerized billing and inventory system for containers
The features and benefits of the system are many Inquiries as to container location and status are handled by a simple entry Customs releases are made directly through the computer without exchange of paperwork Agents are provided with daily printed activity summaries for their containers Specialized reports by commodity time frame tonnages type of handling and many others can be readily generated Elimination of considerable billing activity and paperwork has been achieved The unlimited practical applications provide tremendous amounts of information in many different formats within a matter of minutes
The heart of the system is GPAs IBM 370 138 computer The key pieces of equipment at Container Central through which all the information for the container data base is fed are the remote video computer screens better known as CRTs The CRT consists of a keyboard for entry and retrieval coupled with a video screen for verifying or scanning information concerning containers The CRTs are linked with printers for production of hard copies of data from the screen
The Container Central administrative office is equipped with ten CRTs As transactions occur they are immediately keyed in for inclusion in
GPACCS All activity for a given container from arrival to handling out is included in the data file A complete history for each container is retained for later reference Special movements in the field are likewise entered from a CRT located in the field office Because transactions can be entered as they occur GPA can provide truck lines shippers agents brokers and forwarders with up to the minute responses to container status requests
An important feature of the system has been the establishment of a direct computer link with US Customs The Customs Office has been equipped with its own CRT which will be utilized for the issuance of releases and selection of containers for inspection Max Willis District Director of Customs feels the system will result in much closer coordination of effort between Georgia Ports Authority and Customs He stated The system will save carriers ship and truck a great deal of money because releases can be im
plemented much quicker Location of containers in inventory will also be much easier further speeding the release process Releases and locations will be accomplished without exchange of any paperwork
In conjunction with the initiation of their computer link with GPA Customs has implemented a computer profiling system for selection of containers for inspection The system analyzes containers and selects benchmark boxes for sampling inspection Because the system allows rapid and specialized selection of these containers it permits instantaneous release of those containers not to be inspected As a result approximately 50 percent of all containers for which entries are in hand can be released immediately upon discharge with no requirement that they be drayed to the Customs dock for inspection The time and paperwork economies inherent in this process are obvious The system is the first of its kind to be employed by Customs

Expansion plans for GPACCS promise further good news for our customers The information services described above will be made available to our customers via direct computer hookup By installing a terminal in their offices they will have access to this wealth of information by merely keying in the appropriate request It should be emphasized that a proprietary security mechanism has been built into GPACCS As a result each customer has access only to that information which is pertinent to his containers Coding safeguards prohibit anyone else obtaining that information
The applications and benefits of GPACCS cannot as yet be accurately defined As customer needs expand programs to provide information in greater amounts and different configurations will be installed As the network of CRTs expands exchange of information will become an almost instantaneous process with numerous handling and cost efficiencies resulting Already our customers are reaping measurable benefits from GPACCS in its germinal stages System design is already underway for a matching system for breakbulk cargoes Georgia Ports continues its tradition of innovative efficient performance for and with its customers

The Five
Japanese Container Lines Introduce A New Service Concept
Japan Line Eller and Company
K Line Stevens Shipping Co
Mitsui OSK Line Strachan Shipping Co NYK Line Southeastern Maritime Co
YS Line TTT Ship Agencies Inc
In an effort to minimize transit times for Savannah cargoes the five Japanese container lines serving the Port have introduced a firstin laSK out service for many of their vessels The five lines are Japan Line K Line Mitsui OSK Line NYK Line and YS Line What this means to shippers is that Savannah will be the first port of call for inbound ships Obviously this will guarantee the most rapid delivery of import goods to their ultimate destinations On the export side these same vessels upon completion of their coastwise calls will visit Savannah as a final port of call immediately before returning to the Far East Savannah export cargoes will thus be assured of
minimum transit time to that part of the world
The new service is being touted as a viable alternative to the transUS minibridge In the past customers have resorted to the minibridge to avoid having their export and import cargoes tied up during the coastwise activities of ships ultimately bound for the Far East This innovation effectively eliminates these delays Because of the time and cost factors involved with minibridge shipping and additional handling it would behoove shippers to investigate the costtime ratios for the two methods Officials for the five lines are confident that the new service will
emerge as a highly competitive alternative
These five lines are a group of Japanese ship owners who pooled their resources to offer combined containership service between the United States and the Far East In 1978 Savannah volume for the lines was 33582 TEUs containing approximately 294000 short tons The individual lines and the Savannah representatives are Japan Line Eller and Company K Line Stevens Shipping Co Mitsui OSK Line Strachan Shipping Co NYK Line Southeastern Maritime Co YS Line

SCM OKAYS 20 Million Construction
SCM Corporation of New York has announced the approval of funding for Phase I construction of their Colonels Island facility in Brunswick Funds in the amount of 20 million have been released for construction of the operating plant itself according to Bob Young President of SCMs Organic Chemicals Division Funds for land acquisition engineering and planning had been previously approved The original groundbreaking for the plant took place in September of 1978 and site preparation has been proceeding since Young added that further construction of operational facilities would probably be forthcoming as dictated by business conditions
The plant will engage in the fractioning of crude sulphate turpentine a byproduct of the kraft paper industry The turpentine will be refined into two component parts alpha and beta pinene These derivatives are then used to manufacture a variety of products including camphene pine oil and intermediates used in the production of flavors fragrances pharmaceuticals vitamins and cosmetics
The plant will be located on SCMs 200 acre tract on Colonels Island Employment is expected to rise from an initial staffing level of 35 to some 200 within five years In addition substantial amounts of local construction labor will be employed in erecting the facility Construction is expected to begin in the near future and SCM officials indicate they hope to be in operation by late 1981

The
Executive
Corner
THE PORT of Savannah surged to first place in the South Atlantic and twentyfirst in the nation in total foreign waterborne commerce handled in the calendar year 1978 Only two other ports in the country surpassed Savannah in percentage growth It is significant to mention also that Savannah is now fifteenth in the nation and second in the South Atlantic in dollar value of foreign waterborne commerce posting a formidable percentage growth of thirtyoneandahalf percent in this category Only five other US ports posted a slightly better growth factor in this area
Whats happening Whats causing it The governmental maritime and transportation communities in the State of Georgia have been possessed by an infectious enthusiasm in spirit of cooperation never before witnessed in the sunny South Fortunately the sweet taste of success keeps feeding fresh adrenaline rather than complacency into the world trade network within our state
The core of the stamina of this new rise lies in the concentration of central sales offices of major steamship lines now situated in
Atlanta Georgia the international trade center of the new south Fresh teams of salesmen flow from Atlanta in all directions gravitating new flows of cargoes from all over the country through the everexpanding port facilities and operations personnel in the port of Savannah
Thats not all Lets go back to the beginning The old guard in the port of Savannah who have wanted to get things moving came out swinging Not to be denied the opportunities of growth they have succeeded in expanding their operating teams without loss of competency and are significantly expanding their sales staffs in the field I speak of the steamships agents stevedores custom house brokers and foreign freight forwarders
A special thanks to the Board of Directors the staff and personnel of the Georgia Ports Authority throughout the world whose enthusiastic leadership and hard work have contributed heavily to the success of the port of Savannah
Its refreshing I love it

TRANS FREIGHT Lines a major independent container line has begun regular service to Savannah Vessels have initiated fortnightly calls to Savannah providing service direct to Bremerhaven Bristol Le Havre and Rotterdam with additional access to major cities throughout the continent United Kingdom and Scandinavia
TFLs decision to enter the Southern market is based upon their confidence in the strength of business in the area and the continued demand for top notch shipping Trans Freight President John Arwood sums up their position stating The accelerated growth of Southern industry will be an important boost for US business in general as well as for TFL as foreign commerce strengthens
Initially TFL will utilize two charter ships to provide the fortnightly calls If market intelligence proves accurate plans call for the addition of two more charter ships within approximately six months to improve sailing frequency to weekly Initial projections call for up to 300 containers per sailing
A large percentage of that total are expected to come from bridged cargoes from the Gulf and West Coasts
Trans Freight Lines headquartered in Secaucus New Jersey has been in business since 1976 It is a subsidiary of Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd TFL selected the highly competitive North Atlantic market for its entree into the field Utilizing charter vessels they developed a healthy business by offering reliable
ANCHORAGE
frequent service within the framework of an independent rate structure Once the stability of the traffic was ascertained TFL contracted for the construction of four vessels to replace the charters
This is much the same game plan they have in mind for their new service Drawing on area and bridged cargoes Trans Freight hopes to first build sufficient activity to justify the addition of the third and fourth charter vessels Once those are onstream their continuing marketing efforts will be directed toward the solidification and expansion of business to the point that construction of vessels for their South Atlantic service can be justified TFLs determination to build this type of program has prompted their decision to offer minibridge rates for the South Atlantic They do not provide such service in their North Atlantic arena
After careful deliberation and comparison TFL selected Savannah as one of their South Atlantic ports of call This decision was based on a number of factors including strategic location transportation network and accessibility A major consideration was GPAs Container Central Terminal Arwood stated Savannah was selected because of its outstanding container facilities and dual role as a port and an industrial center The Georgia Ports Authority has done a tremendous job of physically improving facilities here
Trans Freight has assembled a marketing management team to head up the new service They are charged with the responsibility of generating the demand that will justify future expansion and construction At the Secaucus headquarters the men behind the wheel will be Donald F McBeth Senior Vice President Operations Harold G Holden Senior Vice President Marketing and Melvin E Town Marketing Manager
The District Office for the new service will be located in Savannah Heading that activity will be William D Sheils Operations Manager The office will initially employ a staff of from 1012 with responsibility both Savannah and overall South Atlantic functions TFLs exclusive agent for all of North America is Alltrans International Inc Their local agent for Savannah is Harrington and Co Trans Freight Lines Savannah Office is located at 5 Bull Street Savannah Ga 31401 telephone 9122348022
The addition of this new service is another in a series of indicators displaying the economic vitality of the area and desirability of Georgia Ports facilities A quick review of the past several months reveals service and facility improvements are taking place with tremendous frequency GPAs continuing ability to attract and convince prospective customers and strong shipping lines such as TFL bears testimony to the emergence of Savannah as a major port We welcome the addition of Trans Freight Lines to our service calendar and assure them that GPA will extend itself to the limit to assist them in reaching their company goals

Farrell brings a reputation for strong organizational infrastructure to their newly enlarged business Since its founding in 1926 it has exhibited a pattern of welldirected development and growth Their latest step has been to place strong emphasis on their marketing and sales efforts They have established a broad network of sales offices to carry the message of their traditional service excellence and newly acquired equipment and sailing schedules A portion of these organizational initiatives resulted in the establishment of a regional office for the South Atlantic and Gulf as reported in our last issue R M Wilkes has been named General Manager for this region and will be headquartered here at 550 Trust Company Building Savannah Georgia 31401 telephone 9122325541 Other appointments announced were W H Farrell

THE NEXT TIME you go to buy a pair of cutoff jeans take a look at the fringe If its more than a quarter of an inch long the US Customs duties that were paid on it were higher because it qualifies as ornamentation If the top of an artificial flower snaps on one duty rate is paid If its glued or bound another rate applies If youre a manufacturer or importer these types of things are obviously of great importance to you The people charged with the responsibility of determining and applying the appropriate rates are the Import Specialists
Obviously these are merely a few small examples of the types of problems faced by the ISs every day They are by necessity legal experts They must understand the language of the variety of Customs regulations plus the regulations of other federal agencies they are empowered to enforce They must be thoroughly familiar with the physical characteristics of a tremendous number of commodities They must be able to translate the jargon of the manufacturer to customs language before making rate determinations They are public relations experts answering an endless stream of questions from harried business people At the same time they are servants and
6
overseers
Basically the Import Specialists are charged with the responsibility for the examination classification appraisal liquidation and statistical reporting on an assigned line of merchandise They protect revenues by assuring that cargoes have been properly valued and proper rates of duty have been assigned Another important part of their duties involves examination of import documentation to guarantee that the invoice description matches the actual cargo
Import Specialists are paired in teams and assigned specific lines of merchandise There are five such teams in the Port of Savannah Examples of areas of responsibility for the teams are 1 metals metal products and tools and cutlery and
2 textiles fabrics floor coverings and wearing apparel The Import Specialists become experts in their particular areas through a long process of initial and ongoing training plus hands on experience
To develop and retain the required expertise the IS examines commodities upon arrival in the Port at trade shows or even in the manufacturers place of business No measure is spared in making the Import Specialists experts in their field
US Customs is deeply committed to a strong customer service posture The Customs philosophy is best summed up by Max Willis District Director of Customs He stated Were trying to conduct our business to insure the continued free flow of cargo at the port while at the same time enforcing the appropriate regulations Maintaining a good feel for the needs and problems of the importer is an important part of the Import Specialists job They place heavy emphasis on soliciting and resolving inquiries before problems arrive lightening the workload for everyone involved
The services they provide to customers go beyond answering questions about commodity

I

f
classifications and duty rates They are interested in helping the importer determine the lowest allowable duty rates They protect legitimate businessmen from unfair competition from fraudulent importers They develop new processing and release methods to speed cargo delivery during emergencies or periods of new or peak activity Examples include the cargo sampling system mentioned in last months issue and direct tie in to the GPA computer system In Savannah Customs has in conjunction with GPA established a program of premovement meetings with importers designed to improve understanding and communication minimize paperwork delays and in general mutually anticipate and preclude problems Willis emphasized that customs employees as members of the community understand the importance of smooth efficient customs work to the economic vitality of the area They are determined to perform accordingly
EVERY PART of your basic balanced diet conies under the careful scrutiny of the Import Specialist
Another important aspect of the Import Specialists job is statistical reporting Every import is verified for country of origin weight value and classification This information is forwarded to the Department of Commerce for entry to their central computer The data is then configured into a variety of formats for sale to interested transportation and industrial concerns Importers utilize this information in many areas such as business and sales plans capital improvement strategies analysis and comparison of ports etc An interesting feature
of the Customs program on the
DOC computer involves an automatic request for reverification when any of the four items entered for a commodity is inconsistent with predetermined guidelines These are based on analysis of historical data for each commodity For example if an unprecedented country of origin was listed for a commodity a recheck would be ordered to verify that country as point of origin Upon verification the guidelines would be amended to reflect the new movement
Water transportation in Savannah is big business As a result so is US Customs The handful of Import Specialists play a critical role in assessment and collection of 150000000 in duties this year Only by a program of communication and cooperation can activity of this scope proceed to the benefit of all involved Savannahs Import Specialists are ready and able to provide smooth sailing for importers through the critical Customs process

DAR
POMORZA
PULASKI is a name which strikes a number of sentiments in the hearts of those who know the history of the United States in general and Savannah in particular The words that come to mind most often are bravery loyalty and dedication The Pulaski Monument and Fort Pulaski are landmarks that bear the name The subject of all this attention is Count Casimir Pulaski a Polish Nobleman who joined the American forces to fight the British during the Revolutionary War He was killed during the Siege of Savannah in 1779 and subsequently 12
was buried at sea after the fall of the city
The Polish people have not forgotten the role their native son played Their contribution in commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Siege was the visit of the DAR POMORZA This 298 foot trimasted beauty is utilized as a training vessel for Polish cadets A permanent crew of 40 is assigned to the vessel In addition a complement of 100 cadets was aboard for the Savannah visit
During their visit the cadets participated in a number of activities coordinated among the Polish Consulate City of Savannah and Siege Commemoration officials A brief welcome ceremony was conducted immediately after docking That evening the cadets marched to Monterey Square to place a wreath on the Pulaski Monument Upon completion of the memorial activities an outdoor reception on River Street assembled
the crew cadets and some 1000 Savannahians
The following day the cadets travelled to Fort Pulaski where they were escorted on their tour by guides wearing the traditional clothing of the fort in its heyday They spent the remainder of their stay on walking and shopping tours through the historic and downtown district Members of the Polish contingent returned the hospitality by conducting large numbers of visitors on tours of their vessel throughout her stay The DAR POMORZA ultimately sailed on June 26th Her presence provided a truly stately and international contribution to the commemoration of the Siege and served as a fitting preview to the activities to follow in the fall The fellowship exchanged throughout her visit bears testimony to the continuing good will shared by the Polish people and citizens of Savannah that began with Pulaski

A Traffic
Analysis
JOE FANNON TRAFFIC MANAGER
The complexities of the transportation industry produce an endless series of changes with impact upon carriers and users alike GPAs Traffic Department monitors the industry for new and revised practices to determine their bearing on our business and that of our customers To provide maximum benefit to all involved we are featuring this column to provide early expert information to concerned individuals
This segment will appear as important information develops It will not be concerned with individual rates rate changes etc These matters are already the subject of bimonthly fact sheets which are provided automatically to freight forwarders and customhouse brokers in Savannah and Atlanta Anyone requiring this particular information can be readily added to the mailing list by phoning our Traffic Department The emphasis of this feature will be in the areas of major changes or innovations actual or proposed that will reverberate through large segments of our business One of its primary focuses will be to provide early notice of important matters under consideration for industry implementation or legislative approval Your opinion as to effectiveness proposed content etc will be appreciated
A tremendous impact in increased freight charges can be expected if the railroads which operate in the South are allowed to implement a recently approved proposal known as SFA Emergency Proposal Number 372 This proposal would add 20000 per car charge on all carload shipments loaded in standard box cars belonging to approximately fifty short line railroads Those cars for the most part are new cars which have been leased by these short lines from various car leasing firms and are subject to higher rental rates when the cars are on the lines of any railroad other than the owner
When this charge is published in tariff form we are confident that a petition will be made to the Interstate Commerce Commission for the charge to be suspended and investigated as to its lawfulness reasonableness etc particularly in connection with the Presidents inflation guidelines in months ahead
As the costs of energy and inflation continue their upward climb all carriers will continue their demand for increased freight rates On July 31st the nations railroads will file a complicated general rate increase of 64 to 9 percent The scheduled effective date will be October 1 1979
Motor carrier rates are now subject to 712 percent fuel surcharge This has risen steadily the past two months and is expected to continue
LANDING THE BIG ONE
GEORGIA PORTS Authority recently fulfilled every fishermans dream by landing the ultimate catch a 453000 pound catfish Would you believe
453000 pounds of catfish How about
453000 pounds of frozen catfish
The ATLANTIC COMET discharged
this cargo on a recent visit The Dutch flag vessel delivered the goods which had been originally loaded in Belem Brazil The fish are earmarked for delivery throughout the United States with the majority destined for Arkansas and Texas Prior to transshipment the boxes of catfish were stored in Georgia Ports Cold Storage Facility at a chilly 0F The close proximity of the Cold Storage plant to the berthing area permitted rapid direct transfer to freezer storage The efficiency of the operation eliminated any threat of spoilage
According to Charlie Sutlive representing PalmettoGulf Eastern Company who were agents for the ship
this movement marks the beginning of regular shipments of frozen seafoods from Belem It is anticipated that two ships per month will call at Savannah to discharge these cargoes Beginning in late August the service will be handled by American flag vessels operated by American Atlantic Shipping Loads should go up somewhat due to the American ships being slightly larger according to Sutlive Ultimately annualized shipments should exceed 600000 long tons of seafood alone The new American Atlantic vessels will have multimodel capabilities and containerized and breakbulk tonnages will certainly be added to the frozen foods PalmettoGulf Eastern are located in the Two Whitaker Building Their telephone is 9122360032

Special handling arrangements were required for this shipment Normally OPICO containerizes the equipment for delivery Since this consignment was to be handled lift on lift off special lifting eyes had to be welded to the equipment To insure safe and effective installation of the lifting eyes a Savannah representative of SEMCO local agents visited the Lilliston plant to confer with their engineers The end result of this total teamwork OPICO Lilliston SEMCO GPA was smooth sailing for the machinery

Primary Steel Inc is a subsidiary of Primary Industries Corporation The parent company is a worldwide metals and ores trading organization operating fullservice subsidiaries and representative offices in major international industrial and metal centers Primary has been in the international commodities business for nearly 70 years growing to a current annual transaction volume over 500 million This combination of experience size and diversity provides a solid foundation for the activities of their steel subsidiary The Primary network provides metals and ores producers merchant metals firms industrial consumers and governments a full range of importexport and marketing capabilities
The Savannah facility is one of five such depots Their combined inventory exceeds 100000 tons Customers are afforded the opportunity to have direct access

Eagle Has Landed
SAVANNAH is a city which prides itself on its delicate blend of progress and history Its development as a port city was dramatically recalled by the recent visit of the US Coast Guard Bark Eagle
The Eagle is utilized as a summer training vessel for US Coast Guard Academy Cadets Early in their schooling cadets perform basic seamens duties involving operation and maintenance of the vessel As they progress in their academic careers subsequent cruises find them involved with rigging navigation electronics manpower planning and delegation of authority In short the cadet learns the business from nuts and bolts through the responsibilities of command
The Eagle is a 294 foot square rigger Americas only active commissioned square rigger boasts some 21350 square feet of sail manipulated by over 20 miles of
rigging During certain sailing maneuvers the movements of as many as 200 lines must be coordinated She displaces 1816 tons fully loaded and her maximum height at the maintruck is 147 feet
Todays Eagle is the seventh vessel to bear the name The first one of ten commissioned by Alexander Hamilton for the fledgling Revenue Cutter Service was launched in 1792 Through the years her namesakes have fought in the War of 1812 battled French privateers and pursued rum runners during prohibition Of the seven six were sail vessels the lone exception being a 100 foot patrol boat commissioned in 1925 Todays version is the sister ship of several other active vessels Rumanias MIRCEA Portugals SAGRES II and Russias TOVARICH The current current Eagle was originally launched as the German sailing training vessel HORST
WESSEL in 1936 After some service during World War II she was claimed by the US as part of war reparations In 1945 she began her career as a training center for the US Coast Guard
Eagles arrival was marked by official welcoming ceremonies at Rousakis Plaza on River Street A large crowd gathered to watch her dock with her cargo of officers crew and guests A number of city local Coast Guard and maritime officials rode the pilot boat to the channel entrance where they boarded the Eagle for the trip up the river Onlookers were treated to a display of line handling and maneuvering operations as the vessel nestled into her berth Other festivities during her stay included ship tours for guests open house festivities for crew and cadets and an official Captains reception aboard the vessel for local dignitaries Q

This years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference theme is International Trade How to Survive in the Eighties Key to an intelligent preparation for the next decade is a thorough understanding of the 1970s The lineup of panelists and speakers guarantees provocative and informative dialogue Effective competition in the transportation industry hinges on constant monitoring of international and national issues An indispensable aid utilized throughout business and industry is the Journal of Commerce
Eric Ridder has been associated with the Journal of Commerce since 1946 and its publisher since 1956 Under his leadership the publication has experienced a continuing rise in esteem among world business leaders Mr Ridder has long been associated with the promotion of world trade and the editorial style of The Journal reflects his commitment It is the only newspaper in the US which has received the Commerce Departments E for Export flag award
Mr Ridder will serve as this years moderator for the panel discussions A
primary requirement for a candidate to fill this slot was a broad knowledge of world economic conditions industrial operations transportation legislative trends and the current global political atmosphere We could think of no one better versed in these divergent fields than the head of the publication that brings such information to we businessmen on a daily basis
This special issue of AnchorAge profiles the firms represented by our panelists In keeping with this theme introductory remarks for the special Foreign Trade Conference Supplement have been provided by Mr Ridder His remarks appearing on page 8 strike important chords for businessmen seeking a success recipe for the next decade We are confident that our overall program for this year will continue his example by providing a forum for the exchange of pertinent information relative to the effective conduct of business in the 1980s My personal thanks to Mr Ridder and to all our panelists and guests Welcome to the Port of Savannah

AND COMMERCIAL
As the stories of a deepening recession parade across the pages of our daily newspapers and some firms begin to cut back on production and expansion plans there has never been a better opportunity for American companies to expand their export sales
World trade has grown at a phenomenal rate during the last decade with most of the traffic carried in waterborne vessels From 1969 through the end of last year the total volume of world exports and imports grew from half a trillion dollars to two and a half trillion dollars thats a tripling in only nine years During this same period total US trade also tripled growing in fact by 331 percent But US exports lagged behind this growth increasing by only 284 percent The growth of US trade has been in imports with much of the growth resulting from the tenfold increase in petroleum prices since 1973 Obviously its high time the US paid attention to exports
The standard argument as to why the US doesnt export more is that we have never been a trading nation that the domestic market is so large that there has never been any reason to look for new markets overseas I would disagree As a fledgling nation struggling for unity the US found the economic wherewithal to survive through the enterprise of its merchant fleet and its foreign traders In the nineteenth century US clipper ships and whaling vessels helped open up new markets all over the world
It was only with the onset of isolationism and protectionism after World War One that US trade went into eclipse There is in fact a strong argument for believing that the enactment of the SmootHawley Act with its protectionist tariffs in the 1920s that paved the way for the Great Depression
I would suggest that the US is on the threshold of a vast expansion of its export trade in an era of expanding world trade The only impediment to this bright outlook
is the possibility that the major trading nations will repeat the mistakes of the past by enacting protectionist legislation
With a devalued dollar and a flattening market at home US companies are beginning to turn their sights on overseas markets In fact the healthy US export picture is one of the only bright spots in an otherwise cloudy economic outlook While world trade is expected to remain somewhat flat in the next year or so the US is expected to export more than ever before The bulk of this trade will travel in ships and a growing number of these ships will be calling at ports in the Southeast
The US Government as if struck by lightning appears to have become suddenly aware of these new opportunities overseas The government has always paid lip service to the need for exporting more now it is proposing to do something about it through the classical Washington response bureaucratic reorganization
Under proposals now being studied by Congress the Department of Commerce will be renamed the Department of Trade and Commerce A major step but thats not all the Department is going into the business of export promotion Thats fine but its also going to take over the Treasury Departments responsibility for antidumping and countervailing duty cases
This raises the danger that the Department will with one hand do everything possible to promote US exports and with the other do what it can to discourage imports which would in the long run be selfdefeating if our trading partners begin to perceive us as protectionist Perhaps its too early to cry wolf but Im a little leery of government intrusions into the areas such as exports that should rightly be left to the private sector
Let me give an illustration of this kind of creeping bureaucracy In 1973 President Nixon created the
Federal Energy Office to protect us against the effects of the Arab oil embargo with an initial budget of 443 million In 1974 it became the Federal Energy Administration with a budget of 127 million In 1978 the FEA was combined with the Energy Research and Development Administration and the budget was more than doubled This all became the Department of Energy last year with a budget of 104 billion and 20000 bureucrats to administer it
Can any of you think of anything the Department of Energy has done except bring us last summers gasoline lines
And now we have before us a proposal to create an 88 billion Energy Security Corporation to fund synthetic fuel development with the revenues provided by the proposed windfall profits tax on oil companies
It seems to me that all of this money and all of this manpower will only result in the creation of another huge selfperpetuating government bureaucracy It might accomplish in twice the time and at twice the cost a job that can better be done by private industry
My point is that whenever the government begins to encroach on the private sector whether in the realm of energy development or export promotion it wastes money and manpower in pursuit of goals that are much more efficiently achieved by the private sector
After all its not the government agencies that are going to be doing the exporting its the private firms who are best equipped to go after the new market opportunities that are now developing abroad The government bureaucracies are usually more interested in entrenching themselves while private firms have a more valid interest the good old profit motive That is the crucial difference and thats why we have to leave the focus of increasing exports to the private sector

Henry L Gilbertson Chairman of the Board SeaLand Service Inc
In the case of SeaLands commitment to the future actions speak louder than words They have already accepted delivery of the first of twelve new D9 class containerships The 745 foot vessels boast 839 container capacity including 165 slots for reefer boxes and 84 for bulk liquid tanks All are scheduled for delivery by the end of 1980 and will be phased into SeaLands schedules serving 121 ports in 45 countries With this additional tonnage SeaLand hopes to improve
its share of the existing business and participate in market growth
Since its introduction of containerization to the water transportation industry some 20 years ago SeaLand has grown to become the worlds largest oceanborne container carrier operating a fleet of 55 containerships and 67000 containers The new vessel construction is certainly a commitment to continuing their efforts to retain their status
The 12 new vessels will all be diesel powered The huge construction order represents an unprecedented commitment to that power mode by a United States carrier The delivery of the final D9 vessel will provide SeaLand with a fleet which is 30 diesel powered a critical advantage in the face of skyrocketing fuel costs In addition the fleet will have an average age of six years
Obviously fuel economy was a major area of concentration in Sea
Lands planning for the 1980s But there are other major focal points that will receive heavy attention according to Henry L Gilbertson Chairman of SeaLand service Inc Along with our associate carriers we will exercise increased aggressiveness in the legislative area This emphasis is based on lack of direction in US maritime policy SeaLand officials regard definitive policy direction as an absolute prerequisite for effective planning for the late 1980s and beyond
Company innovations extend from the physical to the administrative side as well A recent realignment into Pacific and Atlantic groups was primarily designed to enhance the marketing staff and strategies plus improve customer services Gilbertson observed With new vessels a large young fleet and newly streamlined organization SeaLand has expressed its corporate confidence in the next decade in a most emphatic fashion

Roderick M Nicol Assistant Vice President Law and Administration Seaboard Coast Line Industries
The development of the interior regions of our country is largely attributable to the influence of the railroads For the first two hundred years of our history transportation considerations dictated that cities and towns be located on navigable waters The railroads met the challenge of providing access to Americas heartland for both settlers and desperately needed supplies They further provided a vehicle for moving the untold natural agricultural resources to the
burgeoning coastal regions
The railroads have continued to meet transportation requirements Service and efficiency innovations have enabled the industry headed by stalwarts such as Seaboard Coast Line to precipitate and participate in the countrys development Many of the advances are internal in nature seldom noticed by outsiders Tremendous strides have been made in a number of areas including signaling and communications centralized traffic control more powerful diesels and improved equipment versatility
In recent years SCL technological advances have been geared to enhance future operating capabilities A prime example is the new Rice Yard in Waycross Georgia This 40 million classification yard is the nations newest computer operated hump yard Gravity causes cars to roll down the hump
while computer activated switches are thrown electronically causing freight cars to enter one of 64 preselected tracks Seventy trains totalling 6000 cars per day are handled through the yard which boasts over 145 miles of track with 450 switches Two separate computer systems carry out humping operations control and continual inventory
Rice Yard is a fine example of SCLs ongoing program of planning and development In the 1980s considerations of fuel costs operating efficiency the rise of intermodalism and many others will weigh heavily in the decision making process Intermodalism has brought about the marriage of overland and water transportation SCL service and operating objectives have been conceived to ensure that the relationship is a long and rewarding one for all parties involved

Waechter
In 1837 John Deere developed the first steel plow to fill the needs of pioneer farmers trying to till the rich soil of the midwest That tradition of identifying and meeting needs has produced the worlds largest supplier of farm equipment nearly a century and a half later Todays Deere and Company is an international giant producing agricultural construction forestry and consumer products at 25 factories and foundries located in 12 countries The firm employs 55000 workers worldwide
A sound central business philosophy accurately depicts the approach Deere brings to its dealings Our presence in any market as a manufacturer or simply
through sales must be a mutually beneficial one providing benefits to dealers and customers as well as to John Deere
Concern over energy conservation is permeating all aspects of Deeres planning and engineering processes A variety of simple plant economics such as turning down thermostats reducing unnecessary lighting and shortening startup time in heating operations have been employed More sophisticated methods involve use of heat exchange pumps solar heat units and energy recovery units
On the product side fuel economy is also a major concern Deere equipment has been totally diesel for some time and continuing research is directed at improving their operating efficiency For the agricultural tillage process low energy requirements for all implements is a prime objective Developing systems that perform multiple processes in a single pass over the field is receiving high priority
John Deeres plans for the future while they may differ in
technological output remain rooted in a commitment to provide quality products and service to their dealers and customers alike As far as general business prospects the emergence of foreign markets will buttress company stability for the forseeable future Already growing at an annual rate of 16 officials estimate that by the mid 1980s over onethird of John Deeres business will come from markets outside the US and Canada Deere will direct a great deal of marketing attention to this area
John Deere has always prided itself on innovative problem solving From the first steel plow through todays sophisticated agricultural machinery necessity has always been the mother of invention Burgeoning world population figures have made the need for technological advances critical John Deere officials are confident that years of experience and a proven record of practical problem solving will keep this company at the forefront in meeting those challenges in the next decade

In 1976 the North Atlantic shipping industry was introduced to a new kid on the block Trans Freight Lines Such an attractive market spawns its share of shooting stars and long time observers have seen plenty of them come and go But entering the new decade its become glaringly apparent that TFL is here to stay and is a force to be reckoned with
Following a carefully preconceived plan TFL entered the market with charter vessels building a total of four When the new lines performance drew and retained a solid business contracts were let for construction of 65
million worth of new containerships to replace the charters TFL has now extended this approach to the South Atlantic where charter vessels entered the service this year If everything proceeds according to plan the future will witness company owned vessels in that market as well
How has TFL succeeded where others have failed TFL President John Arwood provides some insights There is a definitive need for both conference and nonconference carriers and we believe in both Were not trying to be a giant carrier Were simply trying to fill the holes where the majors wont go or by virtue of inflexibility cannot fill the needs of the particular market
Because of the rigors of success in the industry TFLs entry and expansion in the market has been careful and orderly Company plans for the 1980s are rooted in that same philosophy We are looking at other markets in a general way There is no compelling urgency for expansion Mr Arwood commented Before TFL enters new arenas they will be cer
tain of their continued success in the North Atlantic and longterm solidity in their new markets to the South TFL has already emerged as the leading independent carrier in the South Atlantic and the company plans to direct much attention to cementing that position We want to be as certain with any future expansion as we were when we came South Business in the South Atlantic must solidify to the degree it did in the North before wed consider further expansion Of course we will continue to pursue market opportunities for independents wherever they may lie particularly to and from the US Arwood summarized
TFL has achieved its success by striving to offer the same protections as the established conference lines The company feels that reliable service and effective administration are attainable within the independent framework and strives to demonstrate these on a daily basis Entering the next decade with good track record and proven business approach TFL is confident of continued success and development

As a preconceived part of its long range strategic plan for expansion in targeted markets operating divisions were restructured in late 1978 into six major groups EaGh will be involved in concentrating its efforts on those markets which promise the high
est return MorrisonKnudsen optimism for the 80s hinges on their belief in the intrinsic soundness of their new organization and its ability to achieve its stated goals
The six groups are Heavy and Marine Power Buildings Industrial Mining and Manufacturing Specialties The diversity of the companys involvements is best depicted by a sampling of several ongoing projects In Saudi Arabia the construction of King Khalid Military City is underway and will ultimately house 70000 personnel In Chicago 3 miles storm water tunnel is being excavated Drilling islands are under construction in the Beaufort Sea in the Canadian Arctic A 260 million aeropropulsion systems test facility is under construction in Tennessee Other examples of MK activities include railroad construction rail and construction equipment rehabilitation pipeline construction industrial plant construction and expansion coal mining power and energy industry research and construction
as well as providing a full range of professional engineering services
MorrisonKnudsens outlook for the 80s is well summarized in this excerpt from President and Chief Executive Officer W H McMurrens remarks in the 1978 annual report International construction markets continue to be of interest despite such deterrents as a rapidly growing group of third world construction competitors political unrest in a number of countries and policies and regulations of our own government that tend to inhibit US contractors working abroad Several major opportunities in mining and heavy civil construction that meet our low risk criteria are in the early stages of business development and are expected to materialize as significant contributors to planned work beyond 1979 MorrisonKnudsen points to its high level of backlog sound financial base and top flight corps of employees as sound reasons for continued optimism

The deregulation fervor has already impacted the airline industry and similar pushes are underway with regard to the truck and rail segments of the transportation industry Conference interests are currently centering on
developments in this area related to waterborne commerce Kopley summarizes his Chairmans perspective of the problem The conference system will survive in spite of the deregulation atmosphere that currently exists in Washington The primary reason is that our major trading partners believe in the system
For the future conference plans center on solidifying the traditional reliability and integrity of service while remaining competitive Long range challenges from deregulation and spiralling fuel costs will need to be met Chairman Kopley and his member lines are convinced the conference framework is the best vehicle for confronting and dealing with these problems

Alex Vann International Traffic and Distribution Manager FMC Corporation
From its formation in 1928 FMCs growth to its current status as a multinational manufacturing force has been predicated on three strategic principles diversification specialization and worldwide operations Close adherence to these tenets has produced a company whose 1978 sales exceeded 29 billion strong testimony to the soundness of their business philosophy
FMC Corporation headquartered in Chicago is a major producer of machinery and chemicals for industry and agriculture Worldwide the company has 45000 em
ployees located at 136 manufacturing facilities in 33 states and 14 foreign countries FMCs areas of involvement include agricultural and industrial chemicals construction equipment defense hardwarefood machinery material handling equipment petroleum equipment power transmission units and lawn and garden equipment
FMC is looking toward the next decade with wellfounded optimism The backlog of work certainly points to record breaking success for the next few years and the picture beyond that looks equally favorable FMC sales have increased at an average of 17 over the last five years Critical to that success has been a careful program of acquisition and expansion This commitment verifies the companys confidence in the future and the process continues Capital expenditures for the period 19781982 will total more than 1 billion and include construction of entire chemical construction equipment and petroleum equipment plants In addition capacity expansions are underway or
planned at a number of other facilities
FMCs 1978 annual report summarizes the companys perspective on the future Even more significant than the visible evidence of new business and equipment however is what those investments portend for the future The full measure of capital investment programs is not realized for some time after the investment is made When this potential is added to the potential of FMCs accelerating investment program future profit and return potential of the company is enhanced In summary FMC is on the threshold of a period of expansion and the companys improved performance in the last few years represents the trend of the future
Operating within a business philosophy that has permitted dramatic development FMC has shown the ability to identify and capture markets in a wide variety of enterprises They have no intention of digressing from those principles and this singularity of purpose will certainly serve to secure their corporate future

James T Crowley Senior VicePresident and Director for MooreMcCormack Lines sums up his companys view of the 1980s in this fashion Our future looks very good particularly in the Latin American trades In the long term Argentina and Brazil in particular look like good trading partners for the United States Mooremack strategies for the next decade are heavily involved in obtaining a major share of these emerging markets
Founded in 1913 MooreMcCormack has grown to become a major carrier between US ports and the East Coast of South
America South and East Africa and the Malagasy Republic and adjacent islands in the Indian Ocean MooreMcCormack owns and operates a fleet of 13 vessels plying these trade routes
Crowley points to several factors contributing to the continuing increases in trade with Argentina and Brazil Argentina has continued to stabilize economically since the change in government in 1976 They are becoming a big importer and the export economy is improving as well He cited Argentinas efforts to rebuild its agricultural and industrial complexes as important news as far as the potential for future trade Brazil possesses overwhelming growth potential Crowley noted The country is long on natural resources particularly bauxite high grade iron ore timber and of course plentiful land In addition to its traditional trade in raw materials and unprocessed agricultural products Brazil is shipping more and more manufactured and processed goods Coffee and
cocoa beans have been joined by soluble coffees and packaged cocoa products Other expanding exports include automotive engines footwear yarn textiles and a variety of equipment and appliance parts The best indicator of economic vitality is that in spite of the need to import 85 of its oil Brazil is still experiencing a 6 annual growth rate
The African trade is currently stable Political uncertainty may prevent significant tonnage increases in the immediate future but Mooremack is maintaining a careful watch for upward trends Crowley summarizes vessel deployment strategies in this fashion As things stand Mooremack will continue to commit to responsive levels of service in all its areas of trade with the recognition that for the immediate future Latin America will dominate MooreMcCormack efforts for the 1980s will center on improving their share of proven markets and capturing business from new sources

Dart Containerline officials are closely monitoring the American export picture for the future Their strategic plans center around a firm belief that the upward trend in US export volumes will continue through the 1980s Conrad H C Everhard President and Chief Executive Officer of Dart summarized his companys perspective stating The new trade legislation will lead to a considerable upsurge in American exports Expressing his companys hope for a positive legislative atmosphere Everhard observed Whats good for the US flag merchant marine is good for the foreign flag merchant marine
Dart Containerline initiated service in 1968 with three converted Painter Class vessels The vessels had originally been operated as general cargo carriers by Compagnie Maritime Beige Darts parent company Dart has pioneered container service innovations during its brief history In 1970 Dart added Dart Euorpe to its fleet She was quickly joined by her sister ships the Dart Atlantic and the Dart America at the time the largest containerships in the world The more recent addition of the Dart Canada enabled the firm to increase ports of call and improve service frequency to weekly
A major step in Darts immediate future will bring a dramatic change to the companys face for the 1980s An imminent merger with Orient Overseas Containerline will produce a major force on the container shipping scene to be known as DartOrient Services with a combined fleet of over 20 vessels Everhard indicated that fleet deployment and any future expansions would hinge on careful analysis of market trends particularly US exports He stated
Until now Americans have never been export minded Approximately 75 of all US exports were made by 5 of US manufacturers and probably 80 of them dont export at all He sees the balance of payments crisis drawing the attention of US producers overseas in ever increasing numbers and this trend has attracted Darts marketing scrutiny
Fuel costs are another major concern for shippers according to Everhard Darts newer vessels boast exceptional fuel economy He sees a difference of opinion as to the configuration for the ships of the future Some designers are arguing for much larger vessels with capacities of 5000 TEUs and higher Opponents argue that such behemoths could serve fewer ports and contend that smaller lighter vessels are the answer Both schools of thought support Everhards contention that design will be dictated largely by fuel economy for the ships of the 80s Dart sees a favorable busines prognosis based on a proven ability to anticipate and meet these emerging demands

In 1902 Cyrus McCormick merged his fledgling company with four others to form International Harvester The new firm was born of a mutual commitment to develop the awakening farm equipment market overseas From those beginnings the company has grown to a multiline organization with five freestanding groups each with global responsibility for its product line
From an overall point of view the stated longrange goal of IH is to exceed all competition by means of clear technological and market leadership To do so they are committed to both saving and spending money Cost reductions have been targeted and identified in four major areas purchasing
product design inhouse component manufacture and labor utilization Savings realized will be utilized to enhance the money making capacities through reinvestment in new plants and tooling product design and research and development Realization of these corporate goals is predicated upon separate goals set within each of the five divisions
The truck group is the largest producer of medium and heavy duty trucks in North America and is the worlds second largest producer of heavy trucks This group has two basic goals for the future to improve its share of the North American market and broaden its leadership in world markets The agricultural equipment group working under the premise that major advances in the productivity of agricultural equipment are a critical need is committed to meeting the immense global demand for food The Payline Group manufacturers of earth moving tools have set a hard line goal to be the clear number two construction equipment manufacturer worldwide Group marketing pro
jects a 20 annual growth through 1983 with greater increments beyond that
The fourth corporate division is the Solar Turbines International Group The bulk of the groups current sales involves gas turbine systems In addition to plans for improving this market the Solar Group is engaged in research and development projects including biomass and coal externally fired gas turbines alternate fuel systems and power systems that will operate on air heated by the sun The Components Group plans to provide economies to the other groups by providing the critical engines castings hydraulics bearings and parts to them
Summarizing the singular goals of the five subgroups mesh to form the total corporate strategy The central elements of the master strategy are two the setting of precise market ranking goals and pursuit of technological advances to facilitate their attainment The International Harvester of 1980s is primed to continue its proud growth tradition through the decade and beyond

Edward J Chick Senior VicePresident Marketing
Farrell Lines Incorporated
Farrell Lines role as a leader among Americanflag shippers has been recently solidified with the announcement of the initiation of five continent service from all coasts of the US Great Lakes and Canada The 1978 acquisition by Farrell Lines of American Export Lines resulted in the creation of a formidable trading force on the eve of the 1980s
James A and John J Farrell founded the company in 1925 with the purchase of the American South African Line A pattern of progressive growth and astute acquisitions has led to the ultimate
development of this new superline brought about by the recent acquisition The Farrell fleet now numbers 40 vessels including container LASH and conventional breakbulk ships Shippers are offered more than 200 scheduled sailings to and from North America Europe Africa Asia and Australia
Farrell is bullish on the 1980s and the ability of US manufacturers to increase their share of world markets according to Edward J Chick Senior VicePresident Marketing We believe in the inherent ability of our country to overcome current economic adversity he added He cited several controlling factors which would weigh heavily on the course of US trade in the next decade He listed Congressional decisiveness regarding the US Merchant Marine and the need for US manufacturers to address themselves to the international market as major considerations
According to Chick Farrell
Lines long term plans revolve around expanding our share of our current markets To assist in this area four new containerships were contracted to improve total capacities The first of these the Austral Pioneer was launched in mid1978 Additional fleet expansions are not on the drawing board but Chick summarized Farrells practice of continual market monitoring stating Wed react to the realities of the marketplace in terms of construction and redeployment Chick sees no expansion in the bulk and neobulk areas Farrell is however phasing out conventional services and going to containers as quickly as is economically feasible according to Chick
The acquisition of American Export and new vessel construction bear testimony to Farrells bright hopes for the future The newly strengthened company boasts a combination of equipment services and personnel that will carry it into the 80s on a positive crest

Hans Druegg President and Chief Executive Officer HapagLloyd America Inc
The merger of 1970 of HamburgAmerika Linie and Norddeutuscher Lloyd produced one of Germanys largest shipping enterprises HapagLloyd AG The company is currently a world leader both in terms of number of vessels and tons transported In recent years the Hamburg and Bremen based concern has made especially great strides in the US and Canada largely through the efforts of its North American subsidiary HapagLloyd America Inc HapagLloyds US arm is charged with the close coordination of the companys interests in North America
While the company is primarily a transportation group their plans
call for enlarging the scope of their operations well beyond the traditional confines We are interested in broadening our service spectrum to our customers stated Hans Druegg President of HapagLloyd America HapagLloyd is already involved in a wide variety of transport related areas including water and air shipment tourism air charter service port and coastal services shipyards ship supply and repair services and many others
HapagLloyds plans for the future are to include a number of areas of concentration Four large new containerships 1750 TEUs were constructed and have been introduced into North Atlantic service In addition a number of Omni class vessels are being converted to fully cellular These additions coupled with the 1978 sale of 10 older vessels have left the company with an average age of the fleet of about 212 years
Diversification will be another key aspect of HapagLloyds themes for the 80s New or additional emphasis will be placed in the areas of tourism and airline
operations In addition plans call for scrutiny of fields such as offshore activities oceanographic research and ocean mining with an eye toward garnering a slice of these emerging markets
Well be aiming to secure the share of our current markets we should have was the way Druegg summarized his companys intentions with regard to current areas of involvement To get to that point we have to optimize our service to our customers he added HapagLloyd has undertaken the types of physical expansions required for effective competition The establishment of the North American branch was expressly designed to provide more effective efforts in securing a greater share of those markets Given the combination of excellent service a fleet of some 40 ships an average of 20000 containers and 10000 chassis in North America per day and special sales and customer service emphasis through its new subsidiary HapagLloyd has placed itself in a favorable posture to meet and exceed its corporate goals for the next decade

Barber Blue Seas commitment to the future was dramatically underscored with the launching of six new supercarriers This 200 million commitment to the 80s and beyond continues Barbers 95 year history of innovative development
Robert Pouch President of Barber SteamshipUS summarized his companys perspective on the 80s and how the new vessels fit into their corporate picture Shipping companies are not immune from any of the problems facing the average consumer homeowner businessman or transportation organization The new vessels are designed and built to keep these expenses to a mini
mum consistent with demands for service expediency Barbers competitive posture for the next decade has been greatly enhanced by the timely construction of the new vessels Pouch states The president of a shipping line with a fleet of fuel intensive vessels has a serious problem BBS confronted that problem by designing in fuel efficiency and achieved further economy by contracting for the vessels early before shipbuilding costs spiraled even higher
Barber has undertaken organizational initiatives to parallel those in physical expansion These steps have been taken to justify the faith our principals have in us according to Pouch
He summarized the intent stating The master plan has been to create an organization that is service oriented has a strong research capacity and finally is highly customer oriented
Barber officials agree that the days are gone when sailing schedules and transit times were the sole determinants in line selection A shrinking globe and inter
modalism have combined to make the water transportation business a far more sophisticated animal Utilizing the new research mechanisms available BBS scrutinizes the world markets to determine optimum equipment deployment Don Adley Vice President of Marketing and Sales sees one aim of this research effort as being to position the service in the market on an appropriate basis Filling ships does not necessarily equate to making money
For the next decade Barber is determined to improve their share of the market both in areas they currently serve and new ones They are convinced that their recent fleet expansion and organizational changes have placed them in a highly favorable position to do so This confidence is echoed in Pouchs statement regarding the theme of this years conference In my mind Ive substituted the word success for survival Barbers current aggressive business posture certainly lends credibility to his optimism

From its founding in 1945 ZIM Israel Navigation Co Ltd has grown from a single passenger vessel operation to a major ocean transport entity The companys current fleet numbers over 60 including general cargo Clyde container Ro Ro bulk and tank vessels This type of lineup by itself would place the company in a strong position to vie for the shipping business of the 80s
But ZIMs continuing success has never been predicated upon resting on its laurels The companys research and planning efforts have given rise to an ongoing series of expansions and improve
ments ZIMs second stage expansion program involved construction of 14 vessels totalling 180000 tons and representing an investment of approximately 200 million The next phase of the fleet development and replacement of older vessels involves purchase of 11 additional ships costing over 250 million to be delivered during the next three years The total process assures the continuing rejuvenation of an already young fleet 75 of which is less than 10 years old
ZIMs confidence in the vitality of the waterborne transportation market is evident throughout the organization Jesse Seligson VicePresident of Sales for inbound cargoes states There is a very definite sustained growth of international trade particularly in the western hemisphere ZIMs recent and planned fleet improvements will assure them of the equipment wherewithal to deal with the market intricacies ahead
To attract and retain the type and volume of traffic to assure optimum fleet utilization ZIM has in
stituted several changes On the service side ZIM recently introduced several new schedules Mainliner service to Savannah was instituted earlier this year Direct calls from the Far East and Mediterranean to the Caribbean Islands and Central America have been instituted Mediterranean Agencies a ZIM subsidiary has been appointed US representative for Nigerian Star Lines new West African service Organizationally ZIM administrative expansions have centered on the addition of widely scattered company offices to compliment the existing network of ZIM offices and agents Were trying to improve service by putting the companys own employee at the customers door Seligson observed ZIMs combination of long range organizational and equipment commitments have obligated the company to a substantial investment of capital and effort As far as their future these steps demonstrate their faith not only in its stability but its potential for extensive growth

One More Time
Once upon a time there was a small Georgia port city As the new nation grew foreign demand for goods from the New World soared One commodity that led the export boom was cotton and the surge started that emerging port city Savannah on its way to becoming the major trading center that it is today
For a long time the great majority of Savannahs export cargo was cotton In 1855 nearly 90 of all goods shipped out through Savannah consisted of cotton This trend continued until interrupted by the Civil War but it was not long after that conflict had been resolved that Savannah reassumed its supremacy as the King Cotton Port of the World
All of this reminiscing was prompted by the recent export of baled cotton through GPAs ocean terminal These days cotton shipments are virtually nonexistent The agricultural base of the world has changed Synthetics revolutionized the garment industry New sources for cotton were developed as exploration and improved transportation continued to shrink the globe All of these factors prompted the decline of the cotton trade through Savannah
But that decline marked the beginning of a tradition that continues today To survive the port had to diversify Facilities had to be expanded and adapted to handle new commodities New types
of commodities were solicited for import and export In short the great Port of Savannah which we see today was made possible by the ability of its maritime leadership to recognize impending changes and react accordingly
That capability is still visible in the efforts of the Georgia Ports Authority today Facilities trade development activities and planning efforts are all reflective of an appreciation of the need to continuously adapt Anyone who has witnessed the astronomical growth of both tonnages and physical facilities can attest to this The key word as always has remained versatility The recent cotton shipment while reminiscent of the past serves to

highlight another important point While Georgia Ports continues to be a leader in adapting to new commodities and shipping technologies It always retains its ability to effectively handle goods in their most basic and traditional configurations
A total of 4902 bales of cotton weighing some 2600000 lbs made up the consignment They were loaded aboard the MV Hellenic Splendor for transport to Constanza Romania George Wise Co were freight forwarders for the shipment Their offices are located in the Realty Building in Savannah Telephone 912 2330171 Eller and Company also located in the Realty Building served as local agents Their telephone number is 912 2368291
Nobody knows how long it will be before the Port of Savannah is again called upon to handle this type of cargo Fifty years from now some professional docksider might stand and marvel at the handling of some antiquated containers Only one thing is certain The demands made upon the water transportation industry will always be characterized by one common denominator diversity Success will go to those entities who exhibit continual operational flexibility A long time may pass before the next shipment of cotton but when it comes to getting things done right Georgia Ports never forgets

New US Indian Service Initiated
Blasco Lines has initiated a new Savannah Bombay container service Vessels have begun to call Savannah monthly to load 20 foot containers Blasco a nonconference carrier has placed 3 vessels in the service and is accepting the 20 foot boxes for export only The vessels involved are the Petr Emtsov Nikolai Ananyev and Yakov Bondarenko They each have a capacity of 350 twenty footers
Savannah will be the last US port of call for the vessels on their itinerary This feature will provide Savannah shippers with a direct link to Bombay Transit times for the SavannahBombay run are approximately 24 days
Dennis Olson of the Moram Agency Clark New Jersey indicates that business for the run has been exceptional Our ships have
been sailing with full loads Weve been averaging about 50 boxes out of Savannah per ship and the business keeps growing He outlined another valuable asset of the service indicating that turnaround times for container vessels in Bombay are much quicker than for breakbulk vessels These container ships are in and out of Bombay harbor in three to five days Severe congestion at breakbulk facilities in India keeps those vessels occupied for far longer periods
The Moram Agency serves as General Agent for the Blascolndia service in the US Inquiries as to schedules and capability should be directed to Dennis Olson Deputy Line Manager Blasco Gulflndia Service 67 Walnut Avenue Clark New Jersey 07066 Telephone 18006317359

As international trade activity increases within our state many new personalities come to visit us and we in turn go to visit them in their respective homelands After a few minutes of conversation one quickly realizes that the fundamental differences between us are ever so slight
Except for some inconvenience caused by provincial dialects the international language of understanding emerges through mutual hopes aspirations and purposes spoken person to person Through the advanced worldwide communications phenomenon man to man we have never been closer together yet ironically nation to nation we seem worlds apart

Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Lucky XIII
An unlikely cast greets visitors at opening nights Star Wars reception
Registrants sign up for version XIII of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
The thirteenth edition of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference is now history The three day program packed with information and entertainment was dubbed a resounding success by all involved Perhaps the best way to review the proceedings is with a short chronological recap
DAY ONE
Early registrations promised heavy participation in this years conference By the time the desk had closed that promise had been fulfilled to the tune of some 650 registrants That evening an unusual contingent of doorpersons greeted guests arriving for the evening cocktail reception The cast of Star Wars guided guests from the entry chute into an outofthisworld setting of lights and sound providing an exciting kickoff for the conference Conference Chairman Walt Caceres and his crew entertained guests at the welcome dinner which included excellent cuisine followed by the unbridled hilarity of master comedian Paul Lennon The days events concluded with participants eagerly anticipating the first full day of activities
DAY TWO
PANEL ONE
REGULATION VS DEREGULATION
Panel discussions commenced with Eric Ridder Publisher of The Journal of Commerce acting as moderator for this and all subsequent panels Roderick Nicol Vice President of Law and Administration for Seaboard Coast Line Industries delivered the initial remarks citing a need for decreased government regulatory intrusion He stated that the current deregulation fervor has initiated a welcome dialog that should serve to bring common sense to transportation regulation We need to strike a happy balance where the public is protected yet American Industry is free to compete he summarized
Henry Gilbertson Chairman of the Board of SeaLand Service Inc cautioned against consideration of deregulation as a cureall He observed that the world transportation picture today dictates the need for some type of regulation He characterized existing regulations as outmoded and conflicting and suggested In our business theres only one real option and thats reregulation not deregulation
I C Hemmings President of Brown Transport Corporation cited governmental involvement in areas where they shouldnt be but stressed the need for a cautious approach to regulatory reform He emphasized his strong interest in deregulation subject to his reservations about excesses and

market manipulation He summarized his recommended cautious approach saying I would like to see any changes be evolutionary rather than revolutionary
Russ Waechter Manager Overseas Transportation for John Deere and Company emphasized the critical need for customer service orientation within the transportation industry He stated that carrier survival in the eighties will depend on their ability to adjust to the new realities of the transportation world His position on regulation was succinct I do not recall any past present or proposed legislation designed to make the American shipper more competitive
PANEL TWOCONFERENCE VS NONCONFERENCE
John Arwood President of Trans Freight Lines portrayed the nonconference line as an important option for shippers He cited the protections afforded independent lines by antitrust regulations and the need to preserve them He downplayed price differentials as the major success factor for nonconference lines observing The independents success hinges on providing a viable service alternative Defending that argument he characterized recent conference price cuts as predatory pricing or admission that conference rates have been inflated all along
Louis Kopley Chairman of a number of North Atlantic Conferences rebutted Arwoods remarks He discussed the conference as a protective umbrella particularly for new lines Other conference plusses he listed included service solidity and rate uniformity Theres nothing new about a nonconference carrier except lower rates he countered He rejected the right of independents to question tariff reductions when that is the same tactic they used to get their foot in the door He cited his primary reason for his faith in the continued existence of the conference system The conference system will survive because our trading partners want it to
John Nelson Packaging Engineer for MorrissonKnudsen Company Inc presented a shippers perspective He stressed several major considerations which go into the selection of transportation including lift and vessel capacity pier reliability standardization of packaging and availability of satisfactory scheduling We want to move our shipments with expediency and within budget he surmised and pointed to the normal competition between conference and nonconference carriers as an effective method for keeping prices to a minimum

tion was critical of conference carriers in several areas He complained of a lack of professionalism among their staffs citing as an example Many of the conference carriers Ive talked to dont themselves understand how a bunker surcharge is arrived at He complained of the problem faced by manufacturers who must make price quotes that are good for periods up to a year while conference carriers make rate changes at any time placing severe strain on a companys profit margin He concluded his remarks stressing Carrier representatives need to learn their business and quit wasting the time of the shipper
LUNCHEON
For those who missed her as she raced across center stage that ball of fire who spoke at lunch was Maggie Kahliff Director of the US ExportImport Bank She discussed the effect of poor exports on the value of the dollar She outlined the role of the EXIM Bank in involving American business in the export market She offered a series of statistics highlighting the lack of export involvement by American business There are 250 companies which represent 75 of total exports One hundred companies represent 50 of all exports There are
50000 US companies in existence with export potential She added that while other countries are becoming export aggressive the US is languishing She concluded her remarks calling for more emphasis on exporting in all corners of American business and a positive political push for removal of the export disincentives

AFTERNOON
The highlight of the afternoons activities was the wine and cheese fashion frolic Volunteers from local transportation concerns modelled a stunning selection of ladies wear with surprising professionalism Attendance was heavy and distinctly coeducational
Note the absence of ladies In the front row of seats at the fashion show
DINNER
Richard Daschbach Chairman of the Federal Maritime Commission was the dinner speaker He discussed the current jurisdictional problems FMC vis a vis ICC observing The current two tiered regulatory framework is untenable in an era of regulatory reform He outlined the intent of current reregulatory legislation in eliminating regulatory contradictions Wrapping up his speech he touched upon the central conference theme stating We can take the safe route and survive in the eighties but what we really need is to succeed
ANCHORAGE
DAY THREE
PANEL THREE
UNCTAD VS UNTIED
Conrad Everhard President and Chief Executive Officer of DART Containerline Inc opened the third panel by expressing his reservations concerning the UNCTAD code He characterized it as a cargo garnering mechanism on the part of the lesser developed countries stating The genesis of this code was the desire of underdeveloped nations to carry a higher or significant percentage of their national foreign commerce He was equally critical of UNCTADs 404020 cargo allocation scheme and requirement for fifteen month intervals between rate increases He stressed the need for clarification of the current US policyregulatory posture saying With no unified national policy now it is impossible for the United States to intelligently make up its mind on UNCTAD
James Crowley Senior Vice President and Director of MooreMcCormack Lines Inc disagreed on several points He questioned characterization of UNCTAD as a bilateral agreement while praising the bilateral concept for its positive trade influence He utilized the Equal Access Agreement between the United States and Brazil as a prime example of the benefits of bilateralism He stressed the satisfaction expressed by all involved stating At no time have they the agreements been the subject of protest by active shippers receivers or forwarders He reinforced his observations with excerpts from a Manalytics Inc survey which concluded that bilateral agreements have proven beneficial to USflag carriers
Richard Schille Traffic Manager Exportlmport for International Harvester Company felt that most shippers fear that adoption of UNCTAD would limit competitiveness He stated that bilateral agreements have caused artificial rate escalations He questioned the effectiveness of shippers councils observing Its difficult to get different companies within an industry to agree on anything He summarized the shippers perspectives indicating they are generally opposed to UNCTAD bilateral agreements closed conferences or any other mechanism that would inhibit carrier competition

merit support as major stumbling blocks Government involvement is not only not helpful but counterproductive he complained His five point survival formula included wide acceptance of the need for a strong American merchant marine legislative reaction technological advancement improved management intensiveness and a united front among liner interests
Hans Druegg President and Chief Executive Officer of Hapag Lloyd America Inc discussed the difficulties of operating under the current regulatory framework He cautioned against a rush to deregulation while calling for its clarification and reduction He depicted shippers councils and the UNCTAD code as potential problem solvers for the eighties He emphasized the need for minimal restriction of shippers councils stating that tight regulation would be tantamount to clipping the wings of a young eagle before he could fly UNCTAD advantages he outlined included strengthening of conferences elimination of overtonnaging lower costs better service and tariff uniformity
Robert Pouch Barber Steamship Lines Inc President stated his formula simply Only the efficient ones will survive They will survive by the use of good old fashioned ingenuity He discussed the effect of the cost spiral and suggested steps to combat it including building in more fuel efficiency more attention to management technology improved ship operations refinement of handling and terminal operations and once again employing ingenuity Utilizing these methods Pouch observed his company will substitute the word success for survival
Jesse Seligson Vice President of Sales for Zim Container Service proposed a comprehensive survival kit He emphasized the need to incorporate cost increases into tariffs before undue losses eventuate Careful analysis of potential markets could preclude unprofitable ventures He outlined his companys maintaining a careful division between owned and chartered tonnage This ingredient makes possible a quick response by shifting from a weakening route to a stronger one or withdrawing charatered tonnage he noted He listed diversification of service and equipment as another critical need Finally he questioned the benefit of the UNCTAD code while offering cooperative fleet development as a viable alternative
The Savannah Community Choir fills up the afternoon air with infectious gospel singing
PANEL SUMMARY Several major issues of concern were raised throughout the panel sessions
ANCHORAGE
1 Skyrocketing costs particularly fuel
2 Conflicting regulatory picture
3 Competition from government subsidized fleets
Obviously no earth shaking conclusions or solutions were reached This is especially true since the panels were carefully structured to generate meaningful exchange between proponents of both points of view That goal was certainly achieved particularly during spirited question and answer sessions that followed each panellists remarks
The main target of the panels was to provide informational exchange Participants were provided with informed opinion on the issues to utilize in their own decision making processes The caliber of panellists and dialog assured that the goal was surpassed
AFTERNOON
Golf tennis and Historic Savannah tours were the order of the afternoon However all else was forgotten as the word spread that Larry Faircloth of Brown Transport had achieved that elusive golfers dream the hole in one A small added benefit was the presentation of a Triumph TR7 sportscar to Larry for his trouble CTI sponsored the hole in one car and Larry clubbed the ball 187 yards into the hole on one hop to claim his booty Another highlight of the afternoon was a gospel concert presented by the Grammy award winning Savannah Community Choir
EVENING
All good things come to an end but thats alright if they end with a bang Thursdays plantation party certainly filled the bill The outdoor extravaganza was graced by good weather good food good entertainment and most of all good fun Oysters cocktails and dixieland music were followed by an elegant dinner and music Tables remained packed until the wee hours as participants endeavored to disco away the effects of three days of sumptuous dining
This prototypical southern belle welcomed guests to the plantation party The photographer was not the only one who stopped for a while
UNTIL NEXT YEAR Response from this years participants has been overwhelming The tireless efforts of the organizers of the conference produced a memorable three day package Thursday night was dotted with requests for particulars on conference number XIV All we can say is that it is in the planning stages and the only way the Port of Savannah knows how to go is bigger and better So if you think this was something wait until next year

Celestite
A recent first for GPA Savannah involved the handling of a sizable shipment of celestite ore The product transported in bulk form was destined for Chemical Products Corporation in Cartersville Georgia Celestite is the raw material which is refined into strontium carbonate which has a number of industrial applications One of the more common uses is in the production of television screens where it prevents emission of excessive xrays from the picture tube
Chemical Products Corporation has been utilizing celestite ore in this process for some time However this is the first shipment through Savannah The company is interested in simultaneously examining the feasibility of utilizing Savannah as a port of discharge and determining the suitability of alternative ore sources for their operations Factors in the decision to look at Savannah were proximity and favorable recommendations from other GPA users according to Stan Davis Chemical Products Assistant Traffic ManagerPurchasing Agent who was in Savannah to oversee discharge operations
The product was delivered to Savannah from Iskenderun by the Turkish MV GEDIZ The celestite ore extremely dense at 160 pounds per cubic foot was offloaded utilizing a gantry crane and clamshell bucket loading into dump trucks The shipment totalled 410 tons E L Mobley Inc were customhouse brokers locally

Maven International Mainland Chinese Clothing Specialists
One look around will convince anyone that jeans are the dominant item on the American casual and work clothing market People who travel the world will tell you that the phenomenon is far from distinctly American Manufacturers who have responded to the demand are as widespread as the markets themselves For example you would not expect mainland China to be a major user but they are certainly a major producer as evidenced by the activities of Maven International
Maven operates a facility on the premesis of GPAs Garden City Terminal They are engaged in the importation of a variety of outerwears from the Far East The outerwear category includes anything that goes outside the underwear but inside the overwear If that sounds too confusing we are talking about shirts sweaters blouses and of course jeans
Were the largest US importer of clothing from mainland China observed Leo Maranhas the Maven Importers Representative who operates the local facility He indicated that jeans comprise some 80 of his volume and are imported from a number of Far Eastern sources in addition to China including Malaysia Hong Kong Macao Singapore and Korea
The Chinese jean business has become a major segment of Maranhas overall operation We got into this business four years ago and it has doubled every year since he stated The volume of his business is obviated by several important statistics In an average month as many as twenty containers stuffed with outerwears will be handled through their distribution center An individual vessel will deliver up to 20000 dozen units of clothing for the firm as in nearly a quarter of a million pieces
While the imports from China are a relatively young portion of
Mavens overall business Maranhas has been involved with clothing importation far longer Fourteen years ago he began his business in Savannah and has operated out of his current location for eleven years From the initial one man operation the staff has grown to six It remains small enough to provide individual attention to its many customers which include firms ranging from small individually owned stores to the
major chains at locations throughout the country
Continued growth certainly seems to be in the future for Maven Maranhas describes business as booming and indicates that demand is consistently on the rise With all the talk about the China trades it is interesting to note that Savannah boasts a business that has been tapping that potential for several years
Box markings show two of the many sources of Mavens imports

A shipment of John Deere cotton pickers recently underwent some drastic reshaping at GPAs Garden City Terminal Fenwick Company located on the terminal entered an agreement to disassemble and repack the equipment for stuffing into twenty foot containers
BEFORE Deere cotton pickers arrive at Fenwick facilities by lowboy
The operations began with the lifting off of the basket The cab was the next component to be removed The baskets were broken down into individual components export crated and strapped to the stripped down chassis of the cotton picker The cabs were skidded to be loaded four to a container Smaller parts and assembly components were also strapped to the chassis to be stuffed one per container
The shipment totalled ten cotton pickers with a combined weight of
140000 pounds They were manufactured in Illinois and destined for Haifa Farrell Lines will be the carrier and Anderson Shipping Company are forwarders
The existence of specialty packing firms such as Fenwick is critical to the Port of Savannah Service versatility is one of the keys that has permitted Savannah to assume the role of leading port on the South Atlantic That philosophy extends within Fenwick itself which also provides services in the areas of stuffing and stripping consolidation warehousing NVOCC agent drayage and Certified Public Weigher Fenwick is another good reason why Savannah bears comparison

The MarchApril 1978 issue of this magazine featured a story on the shipment of a Saturn rocket to Japan The first NASA rocket ever to leave American soil it was destined for the Space Expo in Tokyo The Saturn recently crossed GPAs Container Central on its return to the Kennedy Space Center
During its stay in Japan the Saturn was in the company of a large array of space exploration hardware The rocket which towers to 224 feet when assembled was displayed along with spacecraft from the Mercury Gemini and Apollo programs Additional space hardware from unmanned projects was also exhibited
The rocket made the return voyage aboard the Japanese containership New York Maru The sections were offloaded at GPAs Container Central and reloaded onto a NASA barge for transfer to the Kennedy Space Center via the Intracoastal Waterway Strachan and Company were local agents for the shipment
The second stage of the Saturn 1B is nestled into its cradle at GPAs Container Central

A Touch of Class
Intermodalism is nothing new at Georgia Ports However a recent shipment was a little unusual The commodity involved was a 1927 Springfield RR variously known as the Doctors Coupe The sleek motorcar was delivered by truck from Naples Florida It was unloaded at GPAs modern Consolidated Freight Station and subsequently reloaded into a container for ocean shipment The Japanese MV Maru ultimately carried the vehicle to its destination in Japan
The Springfield was making the trip to join a number of other cars on an unusual promotional tour Cathay Pacific Airways a Far Eastern carrier is inaugurating a new 747 service and the planes are equipped with Rolls Royce engines Cathay wanted to build their public relations program around this fact since they will be the only line in the Far East that is so powered Cathay arranged and largely subsidized approximately 90 a tour of Japan for a fleet of prewar cars to promote their new power plants and the service in general Conrad Karras owner of the vehicle accompanied his pride and joy on its trip from Florida and was on hand to oversee the unloading and reloading Later he was to fly to Japan to meet it upon its arrival and proceed with his tour

I
A weeklong raft of activities marked ceremonies commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Siege of Savannah That Revolutionary War event witnessed the death of Count Casimir Pulaski A Polish nobleman who was the subject of a great deal of attention during the week
The highlight of the festivities was the siege reenactment conducted at Hunter Army Airfield Units from all over the country garbed in the uniforms of the era carried out a faithful replication of the battle at Spring Hill Redoubt right down to the identical outcome a British victory Some 8000 to 10000 spectators were treated to a simultaneous narrative covering the progress of the battle weaponry and unit deployment George E Neumann Revolutionary War expert and accomplished battle narrator provided the play by play lending clarity and perspective to the proceedings
Five naval vessels visited the port for the commemoration The French Navy was represented by the Kersaint and the De Grasse The HMS Jupiter and RFA Cherry Leaf of the British fleet were on hand The hostess citys namesake the USS Savannah tied up at Ocean Terminal representing the U S Throughout the week the crews crisscrossed the city exchanging cordialities with the natives

ANCHORAGE
An encampment for units participating in the siege was open for public tours prior to the reenactment The visiting naval vessels sponsored Captains receptions and conducted tours for countless visitors Fife and drums corps and sports parachutists pleased the ears and eyes of those in attendance The social calendar concluded with the Official Commemorative Dinner with the Polish and Haitian ambassadors in attendance The day of the reenactment saw full military reviews of all participating units
The extensive detail work which went into the production of the weeks activities bears testimony to the significance which Savannah attaches to its heritage and in particular its link with the Polish nation The festive atmosphere surrounding the reenactment is only possible as a result of the far more somber activities it recalls Locals and visitors alike sang the praises of the grandiose authentic reenactment as well as the remainder of the weeks activities And if you think this was something wait until the 250th anniversary

NDTA
Award
to
Savannah Coast Guard
General Robert E Huyser left CommanderinChief of the Military Airlift Command presents NDTAs Defense Transportation Award to Captain Jarold C Carlton Commanding Officer Marine Safety Office Savannah
The United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Office MSO recently received the 1979 Defense Transportation Award of the National Defense Transportation Association This award is presented annually to the military unit making the most outstanding contribution during the previous year in support of military transportation operations
The local MSO was cited in general for its effective control of the increased volume complexity and hazards of cargo handled through the Port of Savannah Of particular importance in the selection of MSO Savannah were their efforts with regard to the newly opened LNG facility as outlined in the citation accompanying the award
For exceptionally meritorious service during the year 1978 The United States Coast Guard Marine Safety Office Savannah assisted in the development of the Southern Energy Company facility on Elba Island Georgia for the importation of liquefied natural gas The start of importation of liquefied natural gas LNG into the terminal on Elba Island was a major milestone for both the Port of Savannah and for the Marine Safety Office Marine Safety Office personnel worked closely with the Southern Energy and El Paso Marine Companies in developing the contingency plan for the facility as well as emergency plans and procedures and operating manuals for both the facility and the arriving ships The planning involved many meetings with port officials and concerned citizens As a result the arrival and discharge of the first shipment of LNG at Elba Island was carried out with minimal disruptions Even more important the apprehensions of many concerned citizens were calmed prior to the arrival of the first shipment by a cooperative community relations program involving the Marine Safety Office It has been through the selflessness of the personnnel of the Marine Safety Office at Savannah that this new and innovative means of
fuel transportation has advanced in this time of energy uncertainty Extensive evaluation of carriers in depth planning for contingencies and conscientious attention to the safety of the port serve as an example throughout the Coast Guard and ports of the United States
Accepting the award on behalf of his unit was MSO Savannahs Commanding Officer Captain Jarold C Carlton The award ceremonies were conducted in Salt Lake City Utah where the presentation was made by General Robert E Huyser CommanderinChief of the Military Airlift Command
Some two weeks prior to the presentation of the NDTA award Carlton was promoted from Commander to Captain making him the Senior Coast Guard Officer in the Savannah area His responsibilities as Commanding Officer of the Marine Safety Office Savannah include inspections of US and foreign vessels and their equipment to enforce safety standards investigation of marine casualties administration of vessel documentation laws and administration of qualification standards and employment documentation of US merchant seamen In addition he serves as Savannahs Captain of the Port In this capacity he is charged with spillage cleanup handling and storage of hazardous materials and safe vessel movement
The receipt of the prestigious NDTA award and Carltons promotion attest to the caliber of work being performed by Savannahs Coast Guard contingent They have mastered the knack of fulfilling their statutory obligations while permitting smooth operational flow within the port Their efforts in terms of communication with maritime interests and preplanning for hazardous cargo have been exemplary The uneventful transition to regular handling of LNG shipments is the latest in a continuing series of testimonies to their fine efforts The rapport they have established with their working partners will guarantee Savannahs continued growth as a dynamic safe port
