Final tonnage statistics for 1979 are in Georgia Ports Authority experienced another banner year handling 5036249 tons of cargo an increase of 28 percent over the previous year Figures for 1978 were 3932422 tons
While final figures for the entire Port of Savannah have not yet been compiled its growth is certain to continue keeping pace with that of the Georgia Ports Authority
A leading contributor to this remarkable growth was our CONTAINERPORT Container tonnages were up 50 percent from 801462 in 1978 to 1200756 in 1979 Strong showings in the other cargo modes completed the picture with breakbulks totaling 2557922 tons and bulk cargoes contributing another 1277571 tons
Current marketing intelligence indicates the continuation of this growth pattern for some time to come A number of improve
ments will guarantee Savannahs ability to effectively deal with these expanded cargo demands Construction of our fourth container berth will begin this year It will add 1200 lineal feet of berthing while increasing total container storage capacity by 40 percent Two container cranes will also be added Growth projections beyond berth 4 have precipitated initial planning for additional container facilities
Harbor improvement projects have paralleled tonnage and facility growth To facilitate handling of increased containership traffic at Savannahs CONTAINERPORT the U S Army Corps of Engineers has announced approval of final phase funding for enlargement of the Kings Island turning basin When complete in mid1981 this project will increase the basins dimensions to 1600 by 1500 by 38 feet deep providing improved handling for container vessels including the new longer classes currently coming out of the worlds shipyards Funding for the Corps survey to deepen the harbor to 42 feet has been approved and initial study has commenced In addition the Corps of Engineers plans call for widening of the Savannah River channel from 400 feet to 500 feet for a distance of six miles between the Kings Island and Fig Island turning basins Completion of that project will facilitate handling of twoway vessel traffic Obviously the
development of our harbor is on track with the growth of our port as a whole
Strong demand for conventional handling capabilities prompted procurement of one175 ton and one100 ton gantry cranes to be in operation at Ocean Terminal by midyear 400000 square feet of warehousing is also being constructed at that terminal
Steamship service contributed to and profited from the boom as well Line announcements during the past year will result in an additional 300 sailings from Georgias ports in 1980 Inland transportation availability increased dramatically as carriers elected to participate in Savannahs growth New offices opened and existing ones expanded as portrelated industry reached new levels locally and throughout the state
1979 bore testimony to the soundness of our business philosophy and operating processes Shippers and carriers alike have expressed their confidence in the Port of Savannah in the most effective manner by choosing to do business with us Our return commitment to them must be to continue our excellence of service and to develop facilities operating procedures and administrative systems to meet their emerging and expanded needs Our total planning effort is geared toward the attainment of these goals

Imported steel is an important contributor to the overall vitality of the Port of Savannah Over the past few years steel imports have comprised approximately 8 percent of the total tonnage handled through the port Obviously the relationship among producers importers users and the Port of Savannah has been one of mutual dependence and benefit
Savannah has grown to become the 13th largest port for steel imports in the United States and the fourth largest on the East Coast As the leader on the South Atlantic it has attracted the attention of a variety of shippers and importers As inflation makes cost consciousness an increasingly dominant theme Savannah achieves ever wider acceptance as the desirable port alternative Georgia Ports Authority has been integrally involved in precipitating this growth
Georgia Ports is long on steel handling experience In terms of commodity virtually every configuration of steel is handled regularly Beams sheets pilings plates rolled steel and wire rods are among the structurais which regularly cross our docks Hardware items handled include nuts bolts staples fencing wire and nails This variety of cargo has enabled us to develop professional personnel with ample practical training Their knowledge and ability has been a prime contributor in attracting steel cargoes
GPAs facilities and equipment simplify the steel handling picture The one critical concern in steel handling adequate operating space is no problem for us Wide double rail margins make discharge operations quick and safe Twentyfive acres of paved open storage are available dockside In addition another 61 backup acres are available on our terminals A fleet of six gantry cranes can handle lifts

A number of steel importers interested in staying close to the action operate facilities in Savannah
Open storage dockside and backup is available in ample amounts at GPAs Savannah terminals
up to 70 tons Lifts up to 30000 pounds can be handled in the storage yards by our fork trucks
The steel import market is in the midst of a downward cycle at this time Mr Kurt Orban President of the American Institute for Imported Steel summarized the extent of the downturn stating I would not be surprised if imports dropped between 1 and 15 million tons for next year He further indicated that this would represent a decrease of between 20 and 25 percent His prognosis was based on order volume for the first quarter coupled with an educated estimate for the remainder of the year He cited a number of factors contributing to the slide a general slowdown in the steel business overall since October of 1979 reduced activity in automotives and home construction and the ripple effect throughout the economy caused by generally high interest rates
While the short term outlook for steel imports is unfavorable Orban sees the picture improving further in the future He estimates that imports might comprise 2530 percent of the domestic market by 1990 Despite the Trigger Pricing Mechanism TPM foreign manufacturers are still able to produce at competitive prices Availability of economical steel from overseas has been further enhanced by competition from newly emerging producers in South America Africa and the Far East
In general Orban is optimistic about the outlook for imports On one side of the coin he views trigger pricing problems and rising freight costs as negative factors These will be outweighed in his estimation by competitive prices from foreign producers within the framework of trigger pricing Orban indicated that the current drop might lessen

pressures for restriction of imports and could result in a more favorable long term regulatory climate These factors coupled with lower interest rates and a resurgence of the economy should bode well for the future
Georgia Ports Authority shares this confidence in the future of steel imports and will be prepared to meet the anticipated influx Additional dockside storage is being paved at this time Recent demoliton of an outdated transit shed provided additional paved backup area Heavy lift cranes with capacities of 175 and 100 tons are currently under construction These gantries will provide additional heavy lift capability as well as increasing total availability of gantry service The lift truck fleet has recently undergone extensive additions and replacements decreasing average equipment age and upgrading individual and total lift capabilities These improvements place Savannah in an enviable position as far as accommodating current and increased steel volumes
The vitality of the imported steel industry is of great interest to the Port of Savannah Years of experience have proven it to be a valuable major commodity Despite short term slumps such as the current one our business plans are constructed around the belief that the industry will continue its growth over the long haul Factors such as continued demand competitive prices development of alternate sources and others should combine to keep imported steel flowing at increasing levels The Port of Savannah plans to be a major participant in the development of this emerging industry

SIEMPELKAMP COMPONENTS TO ABITIBI
A 400 metric ton shipment of industrial equipment was recently imported through Savannah The shipment consisted of components for a heavy duty industrial press It was destined for ABITIBI Company at their Roaring River North Carolina plant
The components were loaded into LASH barges at the Siempelkamp manufacturing facility in Krefeld West Germany They were then towed to Rotterdam and Bremerhaven where they were loaded onto the LASH vessel BILDERDYK for transport to Savannah The shipment totalled nearly
900000 pounds The heaviest individual lift was 63000 pounds followed by four lifts of
50000 pounds each
The movement was handled by the New York offices of J H Bachmann Inc which arranged transportation expedited paperwork and coordinated activities with the local representative D J Powers Company Inc
Georgia Ports maintains an excellent reputation among shippers of outsized and project cargoes Our ability to handle these cargoes with an ideal combination of speed and safety has attracted the attention of an ever increasing number of transportation and traffic officials GPA capabilities will be greatly enhanced this summer with the erecting of two new gantry cranes at Ocean Terminal With capacities of 175 and 100 tons individually they will enable us to subject even heavier cargoes to our traditional excellent handling Their addition will further solidify Savannahs reputation as general cargo expert of the Southeast

HANSA VESSELS CALL
Recent visits by two HANSA Lines vessels highlight the increasing demand for RoRo service in Savannah The vessels were the West German MV RHEINFELS and RABENFELS Both are members of HANSAs CONro class of vessels built in 1977 Each can handle 519
TEUs of containers on deck atop her 635 feet length Below decks 7300 feet of lanes can accommodate containers and wheeled units including trucks tractors dozers cranes and flatbeds RoRo cargoes are handled across the stern ramp which pivots 33 to port or starboard
The vessels are engaged in HANSAs Middle Eastern service linking the U S East Coast with Jedda Dammam Kuwait Umm Qasr Bandar Shahpour Karachi and Aqaba They demonstrated their versatility in Savannah handling a variety of cargo including containers and heavy equipment
Officials of Southern Shipping local agents for the line were pleased that sufficient demand had developed to warrant the vessel calls A number of factors should combine to precipitate further visits Among those are increased buying power and demand among developing Middle Eastern countries industrialization in the Sun Belt and continuing facility and equipment development in the Port of Savannah A prime example of the latter will be the introduction of two new heavy lift gantries 175 and 100 tons at GPAs Ocean Terminal by mid1980
The Port of Savannah welcomes the visit of HANSAs CONRo vessels The growth of the port would certainly suggest increasing demand for their services We look forward to their future visits and stand ready and able to meet their port operational needs

The US Air Force Logistics Command has initiated a transportation experiment that could have far reaching implications for its future cargo movements In an attempt to reduce order and shipping times and to improve cost effectiveness and user responsiveness it has established a ConsolidationContainerization Point CCP at WarnerRobins AFB
The one year test will determine how much time and money can be saved by consolidating and loading Air Force surface shipments into seavan containers for movement overseas Weekly totals of from 50100 containers will be stuffed at the CCP for transfer to ports for shipment via U S flag carriers It is anticipated that some 120000 tons will be

moved during the test year comprising between 100000 and 120000 shipments
Test directors hope that shipping times can be reduced from 6070 days to 3540 days at an annual savings of between 28 million and 46 million A number of factors should contribute to realization of these sizable economies Containerization will eliminate extensive cargo rehandling Captain Gilbert M Ellis Jr Branch Director outlines several others Seavans during the test will be commercial not military vans The Air Force thus will pay only for oneway rather than twoway transportation Firm vessels and sailing dates will be available as containers arrive permitting timely equipment dispatch We can thus avoid the present situation whereby cargo waits at the ports while bookings are scheduled Ellis added
Containers going to a single destination will be delivered direct Multistop delivery will be used for those going to several destinations Multistop cargo will be segregated by destination at the Robins CCP and loaded in stopoff sequence This measure will reduce through port processing and eliminate commercial stuffing charges
CCP Robins will receive shipments from a number of agencies including the Defense Logistics Agency General Services Administration other military branches and contractors It will service a total of sixteen bases in the United Kingdom and Germany
Selection of Robins as the test site was based on a number of favorable factors including warehouse availability suitable truck and rail facilities and availability of land
transportation to outports A container pool capable of accommodating one weeks anticipated supply of containers has been developed adjacent to the warehouse
If test results approach Air Force predictions the project will certainly prove an overwhelming success Capt Ellis observed If this test proves successful operations of the CCP could be extended to include additional destinations and other types of cargo The entry by the Air Force into the container market via such a major investment of time and effort bodes well for Savannah The success of the program is in our best interests and we will be doing anything we can to make it effective We can offer CCP Robins a long history of costconscious port operations which should certainly go a long way toward helping them achieve their stated goals

Transcaraibes Martinique
New Container Service
MV GISELA visit inaugurates new SavannahWest IndiesCaribbean service
A new container service was initiated for Savannah with the call of the Liberian MV GISELA The new service will offer sailings between Savannah and the West IndiesCaribbean area The vessel is operated by Transcaraibes Martinique
The GISELA is a 237 foot combination vessel It boasts a 190 TEU capacity for containers In addition it is equipped with a stern RoRo ramp and shipboard crane Another important capability of the vessel lies in its ability to accommodate reefer containers Its versatility was well displayed by the cargo mix handled during its first visit which included containers and creosoted lumber
The GISELA has been joined by a second vessel This addition will allow Transcaraibes Martinique to offer a sailing fre
quency of every three weeks for the new service Ports of call will include Martinique Santo Domingo Trinidad Curacao Barbados Aruba Guadeloupe Kingston Margarita Colombia and the Virgin Islands
Savannah has been designated as the only Atlantic Coast port of call for the service Roger Marcel Michaux representing Compagnie de Navigation Mixte General Agents for Transcaraibes Martinique indicated that Savannah was selected because of the caliber of facilities available and the ease with which cargo could be tunneled into Savannah and controlled by the receivers
Company officials are highly optimistic about the potential of the new service In addition to the containers and lumber previously mentioned the com
pany will be seeking to attract cargoes from several other major commodity groups including refrigerated meat and poultry and international paper products such as Kraft and linerboard Carolina Shipping will act as local agents and Smith Kelly are stevedores
The addition of Transcaraibes Martinique marks the continuation of a trend which has seen dramatic expansion of Savannahs scheduled steamship service A combination of facilities strategic location and most important service have attracted the undivided attention of shippers and liner carriers alike The selection of Savannah as exclusive Atlantic Coast port of call for the new service is another indicator of the emergence of Savannah as the Centerport of the South Atlantic

Gold Mining
Panamanian
Style
A veritable gold train recently crossed GPAs Ocean Terminal en route to Panama The shipment consisted of a mobile gold mining unit It included a Caterpillar tractor and an assortment of mining machinery manufactured by Norsul Oil and Mining Company Heres how it works
The complete unit is used to mine gold from river beds The Cat tractor serves the dual purpose of towing the remaining components and scooping the raw material from the river bed It feeds the material from the river bed to the Norsul shaker screen and jigs where the gold is sifted out
Also included in the consignment was a Norsul TerraTiger This piece of equipment features eight gigantic balloon tires which permit it to carry payloads up to
25000 pounds at surface pressures of 8 pounds per square inch This makes the TerraTiger ideal for traversing soft marshy areas in river and delta areas In addition the machine can actually float and traverse bodies of water when empty It is used to carry fuel equipment and materials to and from the river mining sites
Norsul was both shipper and consignee and manufactured the equipment at its Albany Georgia plant They will be mining under a permit from the Panamanian government according to company president Wayne Fowler
The MV DELTA BOLIVIA loaded the cargo for transport to Panama This marked the first visit to Savannah by Delta Lines vessels according to Rhett Willis of Harper Robinson local coordinators for the movement Several heavylifts were involved with the largest topping 85000 pounds Harper Robinson officials are hopeful that continued demand for Central American service will result in additional visits by Delta vessels Eller and Company were local agents

TFL UPGRADES SERVICE
TFLs UNIDO during her visit to GPAs CONTAINERPORT The vessels visit marked the initiation of ten day service by TFL
The recent maiden voyage visit of the MV UNIDO marked a significant improvement in Trans Freight Lines frequency of calls for Savannah Previously TFL has been utilizing two chartered vessels to provide two sailings per month from Savannah Addition of the UNIDO also under charter will improve the schedule to every ten days The service connects Savannah with Bremerhaven Bristol Le Havre and Rotterdam with additional access to major cities throughout the United Kingdom Continent and Scandinavia
When TFL entered the South Atlantic trades less than a year ago plans called for solidification of initial business and gradual expansion of the chartered fleet Company officials report that actual growth
has dramatically exceeded initial projections and has necessitated acceleration of the fleet expansion schedule The two vessels initially entered into the service were quickly replaced by larger vessels Addition of the third vessel the UNIDO became necessary far earlier than had been anticipated TFL is hopeful that a continuation of the current growth trend will require the addition of a fourth vessel sooner than had been planned
TFL hopes to duplicate its North Atlantic fleet program by eventually converting to company owned vessels The next step will be the addition of a fourth charter vessel improving service frequency to weekly Once the solidity of the
business at those levels has been verified TFL will examine their markets to determine optimum vessel design for replacing chartered vessels with companyowned ones This studied approach fared well in its North Atlantic acid test and company officials are confident it will succeed in the South Atlantic Harrington and Company are local agents for TFL
The mutual success enjoyed by TFL and Savannah is another indication of the vitality of the port Continued industrialmanufacturing development in Savannahs extensive hinterland will demand more and better steamship service Progressive fleet development such as TFLs is exactly the type of response for which shippers are looking

Maersk Lines 9 modern containerships are still the fastest way to move your cargo to the Far East USA
But whats the use of having the fastest ships if the work ashore is slow Thats the reason why speed with Maersk Line means much more than just fast ships
Speed also has to do with terminal service
Maersk Line has many exclusive terminal facilities That means speed ashore also for truckers We know how important it is to give fast service to truckers when receiving or delivering cargotime is money for truckers too
DOCUMENTATION
DEPENDABILITY
What is speed alonewithout dependability Maersk Lines terminal service and documentation systems aretogether with the fast modern container vesselssome of the reasons why you can depend on Maersk Line Because after all dependability is more than knowing the man youre dealing with Just like speedto Maersk Lineis more
than fast ships

Savannahs sailing schedule gained an important new member with the visit of the MV AMERICA He call marked the inauguration of American Atlantic Lines new SavannahCaribbeanSouth America service The run will provide a link between Savannah and the ports of Nassau Antigua St Lucia Barbados Trinidad Tortola St Kitts Montserrat Guadeloupe Dominica Martinique St Vincent Grenada Surinam Cayenne and Belem Brazil
The AMERICA was on her maiden voyage when she called Savannah During her stay at GPAs Garden City Terminal she discharged some 425000 pounds of frozen catfish and
30000 pounds of frozen shrimp The cargo will be distributed to points throughout the Southern United States
Handling versatility was a primary design consideration during construction of the vessel At 2000 dwt she is small and maneuverable enough to call at shallow draft ports Her shipboard handling gear which is selfsustaining through lifts of 40 tons permits her to serve ports with limited facilities This package of design ingredients makes her ideally suited for the trades to which she has been introduced
This versatility is also extended to her cargo carrying capabilities Utilized as a combination vessel she can handle 8 20 foot and 8 40 foot containers on deck either refrigerated or nonrefrigerated One of her hatches is refrigerated for frozen breakbulks while the other two accommodate miscellaneous general cargoes As shipping demands dictate stowage capabilities will permit

American Atlantic officials are confident that American flag vessels can compete effectively in the smaller ship market in the shortsea trades The size of their construction package attests to their commitment They are equally confident that their Savannah markets will start strong and build steadily Their market intelligence points to a continuing need for frequent reliable service to the areas which they will be serving Chester Blackburn and

Paper Handling Innovation
The reopening of the refurbished berth 1 and 2 at GPAs Ocean Terminal provided an important new forest products handling facility Construction nearing completion will provide modern warehousing to back up the berths
As usual Georgia Ports is matching its commitment to top facilities with improvements in related areas A recent innovation involving stowage and handling of paper at Berths 1 and 2 testifies to this
The MV MYKALI II became the first vessel to load paper which had been marshalled under GPAs new stowage and retrieval plan Under the system export paper is segregated in the 170000 square foot transit shed by size hatch number and port of destination When a vessel is berthed cargo is ready for loading through those doors immediately adjacent to the hatches into which it will be loaded Also it is broken out by size and port of destination Color coding of rolls and bales further simplifies the process
Loading operations aboard the MYKALI II and subsequent vessels have proven the value of the system Reduction of handling time elimination of congestion and fuel economy have resulted in savings to our shipping customers This inventive spirit has been instrumental in Savannahs mercurial growth and our commitment to the latest in facilities and service will continue the trend
Rolled paper segregated under the new stowage system awaits loading at Ocean Terminals ultramodern berths 1 and 2 above
The visit of the MV MYKALI II shown below was shortened by the implementation of the new program

AMERICAN BUSINESS THE GROWTH OF EXPORT
CONSCIOUSNESS
Last year US export volumes rose at a rate 2Vz times higher than the increase in total manufactured goods This surge is reflective of American business newfound interest in foreign markets This issues articles on forest products and soybeans are but two examples Several key factors have contributed to the trend
The softness of the dollar overseas has made American pricing structures more inviting Restricted domestic buying has caused increasing numbers of firms to direct their marketing attentions overseas There is however one subtle difference contributing to American industrys increasing export success
In the past many firms resorted to exporting only under two circumstances first when exceptional production produced unusually high inventories or secondly when temporary domestic slowdowns reduced local demand This meant that foreign buyers were offered at best temporary sources of supply subject to withdrawal on extremely short notice As a result any US pricing advantages tended to be overshadowed by reluctance on the part of overseas customers to deal with short term unpredictable suppliers
But todays economic conditions have prompted many US firms to enter the ex
port arena in a far more serious fashion Intensive marketing research efforts have revealed foreign markets of major long range potential hungry for a wide range of US produced goods US manufacturers are parlaying this information into solid longterm contracts with new and traditional overseas customers Repeat business is kindling foreign confidence in US sources of supply Reestablishment of this positive business rapport has been a key element in the tremendous growth of exports from our shores
The major remaining obstacle to further major export involvement is the labyrinth of government regulations and jurisdictional uncertainties Small business in particular is too often frightened away from exporting by the complexity of the paper work and administrative processes which he must overcome
Too much has been written about the reasons and blame for the current situation The success of a few determined exporters has proven the potential is fantastic The time has come to remove these artificial counterincentives to permit American business to make full scale entry into these world markets to the ultimate benefit of the manufacturing and maritime segments and our country as a whole

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY CIRCA 1980
Persistent predictions of an impending economic downturnrecessiondepression have forced
US firms to take a critical look at their corporate health for the short term future The forest products industry it would seem has emerged from this selfanalysis with a refreshing optimism While their prognostications for the next few years are guarded they do not abound with the negatives one might anticipate in these trying times Several major commodity groups highlight the reasons for such cautious optimism
Producers of dissolving grades of pulp point to a resurgence in the rayon market as a major contributing factor as far as their future success A number of factors have contributed to the renewed vitality of the rayon industry and its suppliers
1 Increased demand for cellulosic fiber Newfound overseas buying power is generating worldwide demand World population growth is the highest in those warm weather regions where rayon garments provide maximum comfort
2 The development of a cotton gap worldwide The demand for cellulosic fibers is expanding beyond the ability of the cotton industry to meet it
3 Rayons long term resource availability is excellent Petrochemicalbased fibers are rising in cost in direct proportion to oil prices The worldwide food crunch is restricting the amount of prime arable land available for dedication to cotton On the other hand the raw material for rayon trees can be grown on marginal and sloped lands unsuited for other uses
4 Increased research efforts by producers of pulps for rayon have developed entirely new types that
2
ANCHORAGE
have improved the long term outlook for rayon products
In addition strong sales among other end products produced from dissolving pulps should provide the kind of market diversity that will cushion the impact of downturns in particular segments These products include acetate fibers plastics photographic film and tire cord
Robert E Heine Vice President and Director Transportation and Distribution for ITT Rayonier Inc offered a straightforward summary of his companys prognosis one that might well sum up the perspective of the industry as a whole We have a great deal of confidence and see continuing long term growth Basically the markets are going to be there and grow and were going to serve them Heine is particularly qualified to address the global pulp picture Not only is his firm a major producer of chemical cellulose and specialty pulps also its subsidiary operates Sylvan Shipping an ocean carrier specializing in the transportation of forest products
Comminution grades of pulp should also make a sound showing through the expected economic
slowdown These are used in the production of hospital pads bandages diapers and other disposables Richard A French Section Manager Water and Air Transportation for the Procter and Gamble Company outlined the reasons for his firms bullish position stating The European disposable markets are solid and expanding Because of this we are anticipating steady and growing export shipments Procter and Gambles optimism is further reinforced by the positive predictions for the rayon industry in that they are also major producers of dissolving pulps
The effect of any recession in the finished paper industry may be somewhat more pronounced Traditionally the slowdown in this industry tracks with the economy in general but with a lag both in timing and severity Industry officials agree that the depth of the drop is more difficult to predict than ever before Gordon H Kettering Vice President Operations Services for Mead Corporation explains the problem Many of our old reliable signals are confusing For example the container end of our business always a sure indicator
has been up and down Its just very difficult to tell at this time Most producers agree the slowdown will be shorter and shallower than the one in 1975 Officials point to near capacity operations low inventories and increased export demand as mitigating factors Many firms are girding against potential problems by pursuing two avenues of relief increased export activity and diversification of product lines Hiram W Ware Director of Planning and Traffic for Union Camp Corporations Unbleached Division summarizes this philosophy Our customer profile and internal product utilization are designed to protect us from any domestic slowdown For example we can direct our final linerboard utilization in many different directions We have some safety in the numbers of outlets we have for our products
As far as the long term outlook sentiment is unanimous All interviewed agreed that the industry will continue to prosper for an indefinite period Kettering observed The long term looks as good as ever The United States remains the most productive pulp and paper manufacturer and possesses the best supply of trees in the
Union Camps Savannah facility epitomizes the vitality of the US forest products industry

world Industry leaders see this supremacy continuing based on a number of factors including capital expansion technological advances in products and processes advanced reforestation techniques and of course a steady growing demand for a wide range of products
Competition from foreign sources has not dulled the optimism of US producers Firms in northern Europe particularly Scandinavia have demonstrated an inability to meet the demands of their own local markets Limited availability of raw materials have led them in two directions both of which have proven beneficial to American suppliers First they have concentrated on more high quality papers thereby augmenting demand for kraft and lower grade white paper Secondly they have turned to imports as a source of wood scrap and pulp with obvious benefits to US producers Other new sources include South America and Canada but near capacity mill operations indicate that the world market is more than strong enough to absorb available production
PROFILING THE IDEAL PORT THE SHIPPERS PERSPECTIVE
A key element in any firms export success formula is the cost effectiveness of domestic deepwater ports utilized Officials interviewed were asked what types of things a port can do to make life easier for the export shipper of forest products Kenneth H Sturm Director of DistributionOperations for Bowater Sales Company provided a list which proved inclusive The things we look for in selecting a port include
a responsive organization
good facilities
optimum cost factors
availability of suitable steamship service particularly to northern Europe where Scandinavian sources are much closer
good selection of port related services
and of great importance good housekeeping practices We look for an operation that provides low contamination and no stains We need the cooperation of the entire shipping segment in keeping our package looking good from origin to destination

GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY AN ORGANIZATIONAL RESPONSE
GPAs breakbulk facilities have been handling forest products since opening day Our natural hinterland possesses one of the finest concentrations of timber resources in the world Raw and finished forest products move through our facilities on a daily basis in tremendous volumes
Our facilities reflect our involvement in the transportation of these products At Ocean Terminal berths 1 and 2 were refurbished as a specialty facility for paper products The spacious ultramodern transit shed offers 165000 square feet of clean dry storage The berths were recently enhanced with the addition of a backup warehouse which will be primarily used for marshalling forest products see page 20
Onport handling is accomplished with the very latest in equipment and systems Savannah and Brunswick stevedores are equipped with the latest generation of lifting apparatus permitting multiple lifts of rolls units and bales
Dockside handling gear includes a fleet of gantry cranes and lift trucks of varying capacity to
80000 pounds All equipment is kept in top running condition clean and leakfree to insure speedy handling without damage or discoloration to cargo
Our high cube transit sheds and warehouses permit high density storage Recently introduced export stowage systems have minimized vessel turnaround times Cargoes are segregated by commodity color coded and stowed hatchcontiguous keeping shed to vessel distances to an absolute minimum Procedures for land transportation pickup and delivery have proven accurate and streamlined
Recent tonnage increases express the confidence of major shippers in Georgias Ports Volumes in Brunswick have jumped so dramatically that several new lines have begun calling specifically to handle additional pulp cargoes In Savannah response to the addition of the new warehouse has already begun to materialize in the form of firm future tonnage commitments and
additional steamship service Savannah tonnages alone rose nearly 40 percent from 1978 to 1979 topping 400000 tons The availability of the new warehousing is certain to push 1980 totals even higher
GPA is experienced enough to realize you can never let your experience get in the way of your corporate ears We appreciate the critical role we and the forest products industry play in each others ultimate success Our earliest planning invariably relies heavily on user information gathered from our customers The GPA package is entirely the product of our response to those expressed needs
In the case of the forest products industry our goal must be to provide every item on Mr Sturms detailed port shopping list and to provide it in its most useful form With all predictions pointing to expanded export activity among US producers GPA must continue its service to current customers as well as compete for new business as it develops Increasing numbers of corporate transportation executives are determining we have come to the battle best prepared

American Atlantic Lines Adds Full Container Service
MV ATLANTIC INTREPID inaugurates American Atlantics new South AmericaCaribbean service
American Atlantic Lines joined Savannahs sailing schedule earlier this year with the introduction of its SavannahSouth AmericaCaribbean service The company offers combination breakbulkcontainerreefer service every ten days The firm has now introduced a second scheduled service to that part of the world
The British MV ATLANTIC INTREPID inaugurated American Atlantics new schedule which will connect Savannah with the ports of Antigua Barbados St Lucia and Trinidad Charlie Sutlive of Palmetto Gulf and Eastern local agents for the line indicated American Atlantic was making available a regular direct express service to the ports along the planned itinerary
Initially the ATLANTIC INTREPID will be the sole vessel in
the run providing monthly calls in Savannah American Atlantic and Palmetto Gulf and Eastern officials have expressed confidence that sufficient additional cargoes will be generated to warrant addition of a second vessel in the near future This will result in improvement of sailing frequency to twice monthly The vessels can accommodate both reefer and dry containers to a total capacity of 150 TEUs
American Atlantic is continuing its entry into those shortsea trades by providing ever increasing sailings between Savannah and ports to the south The smaller classes of vessels they have been employing are ideally suited to these types of itineraries They are designed to handle an impressive cargo mix working within the navigational restrictions posed by
many of the lesser developed Caribbean and South American ports
All marketing indicators point to mushrooming trade between the US and its neighbors to the south Cargo volumes being generated through Savannah and new steamship services to these areas clearly indicate that carriers and shippers are in agreement as to Savannahs desirability as a central trading point for Caribbean and South American cargoes American Atlantics addition of the new full container service hard on the heels of last issues announcement illustrates their confidence in our port Continued sailing schedule improvements such as these will cement Savannahs role as the gateway to the burgeoning markets of South America and the Islands of the Atlantic

Based on a recent feasibility study the Eastern Division of TEC America Inc has begun utilizing the allwater route for ocean transport of its imports from the Far East William E Bragg in charge of Operations for the firms Atlanta office conducted the study under the supervision of K Ikeda Accounting Manager for the branch
Factors analyzed included efficiency of port operations water and inland transportation costs and times frequency of shipping delays etc Their analysis ultimately indicated a considerable per container saving utilizing the allwater route to Savannah as opposed to bringing cargoes to California for cross country transit to Atlanta
TEC Americas parent company is Tokyo Electric Company Ltd of Japan They are currently marketing an array of cash registers and scales varying from basic equipment for mom and pop type operations up through the most sophisticated equipment for major merchandisers The electronic load cell calculating scales are utilized by grocery stores as well as by restaurants for portioning Some of the units actually print price labels based on weight determined Others interface directly with cash registers to charge the appropriate amount as products are weighed
Currently TEC America is bringing in approximately four containers per month Business indicators point to a rise in that level in the near future Business volume is increasing and we anticipate bringing in more equipment Bragg indicated adding Were breaking sales records continually This brisk business activity has resulted in several management changes within the company In addition to Bragg being placed in charge of Atlanta
branch operations A Katsuda was named Division Vice President and John Flach was promoted to the position of Atlanta Branch Manager

BANGLADESH SHIPPING FLEET EXPANSION
The MV BANGLAR KALLOL first of four new vessels owned and operated by the Bangladesh Shipping Corporation visited Savannah on her recent maiden voyage In conjunction with the firms continuing fleet development and upgrading program the company is acquiring four large vessels to be utilized in their USABangladeshIndiaJeddah service The second vessel will be named the BANGLAR KAKOLI
Addition of this new tonnage has had two effects First of all what had been a monthly service will now offer calls every three weeks Further improvement of sailing frequency will be afforded by the addition of the other two vessels by year end bringing the total number of vessels in the service to six Also the expansion has permitted inclusion of several new ports on the itinerary Foreign ports of call will now include Chit
tagong Chalna Colombo and Jeddah In addition the port of Krachi will be added shortly Company officials also indicate that the ports of Cochin and Madras are being seriously considered for future inclusion Primary outbound cargoes handled include machinery vehicles chemicals cotton soybeans rags and tinplate On the import side major commodity groups are burlap jute carpet backing handicrafts and iron and steel products
Not only will there be more vessels in the service but the new additions will boast increased per sailing cargo space to the tune of 100150000 cubic feet The KALLOL and KAKOLI are also designed to provide increased provisions for refrigerated and containerized cargoes Some of the vital statistics for the two vessels are DWT 17234 metric tons Bale cubic 808300 cubic feet service speed 15 knots LOA 510 feet container capacity 275 TEUs reefer capacity 27120 cubic feet The vessels were constructed in Japan
Peralta Shipping serves as General Agent for Bangladesh Shipping South Atlantic Terminals are local agents
The recent accelerated growth of Savannahs steamship portfolio has been selfreinforcing As new steamship lines come on stream additional cargoes from new and traditional sources emerge Often demands for ocean transport exceed the ability of the new carriers to meet them resulting in further fleet expansions and service increases Bangladesh Shipping has expanded its Savannah efforts in an attempt to increase its share of the growing volume of cargoes flowing between the US and those areas of the world it serves As word of the availability of their improved service spreads utilization of their increased tonnage capacity should climb steadily We look forward to the maiden voyage of their seventh vessel in the not too distant future

Sugar
Through
Brunswick
The first phase of a major raw sugar movement recently passed through GPAs Brunswick Terminal Between now and the end of July a total of 65000 tons of the commodity will cross the facility
The cargo is part of a domestic barge movement Philipp Brothers headquartered in New York coordinated the shipment of their product The first 18000 pounds of sugar was trucked from a storage facility in Jacksonville to the Brunswick Terminal where it was stored in the newly refurbished transit shed 1A It was subsequently loaded aboard the seagoing barge Bulk Transporter for movement to a point north of Cape Hatteras Actual final destination was to be determined later dependent on prevailing market conditions at time of arrival
Three additional movements of the same type will be required to complete the transaction The transfer of the second bargeload from Jacksonville to Savannah will begin in the near future Brunswick Ship Agencies were local agents while Marine Port Terminals served as stevedores
Sugar is loaded aboard the seagoing barge Ocean Transporter at GPAs Brunswick Terminal as John Stubbs L President of Marine Port Terminals and Stan Malabud of Philipp brothers look on

Project Shipment To Lockheed
Lockheed Georgia Company recently utilized Georgia Ports Garden City Terminal for the importation of a large consignment of heavy machinery The shipment totalled some
800000 pounds Included in that total were six heavy lifts four machine beds at 445 metric tons each and two cross rails at 368 metric tons apiece Six railcars and seven trucks were required to move the total shipment from Savannah to its ultimate destination in north Georgia
The shipment was composed of components for two numerically controlled skin mills according to Harold Reeves Manager of Fabrication Manufacturing Engineering for Lockheed Georgia These are used to produce aircraft skins up to 50 feet long which are machined to very close tolerances and in very complex shapes Reeves added The skins are the panels which make up the outer layer for aircraft wings Reeves noted that the mills will be used to produce hardware for a variety of aircraft models particularly the C130
The NYK Line vessel KISO MARU delivered the components from Japan The mills were manufactured there by the firm of Shin Nippon Koki In Savannah twin gantry operations accomplished offloading chores for the heavy lifts Lockheed officials reported that all went smoothly during Savannah transfer operations and that all of the equipment arrived in excellent condition Shin Nippon Koki was reportedly monitoring handling in
Savannah to determine the desirability of employing the port for future shipments of this type
Lockheeds satisfaction with the port side of the transporta
tion package bodes favorably for the possibility of the Shin Nippon Kokis future utilization of GPA facilities

and Kaohsiung
This first call was on an inducement basis but Galleon principals are monitoring Savannah area demand to determine the feasibility of additional calls and perhaps a regular service Eller and Company acting as local agents hope to generate sufficient interest to mandate future calls by Galleon vessels The occasion of the maiden visit was marked by a shipboard ceremony

Among the many new visitors to the burgeoning Port of Brunswick were several vessels representing Mini Lines Mini Lines provides service between various U S Ports and the Islands of the Atlantic South AmericaCentral America Virtually every Caribbean Island port is served on scheduled or inducement basis All Central American ports as well as South American ports in Equador Chile Peru Colombia and the Guyanas are also called
The first Mini Lines vessel to call Brunswick was the MINI LENS Primary cargo loaded was some 2800 short tons of animal feed specifically chicken feed The
commodity was consigned to various receivers in Trinidad and the West Indies In addition a small amount of bulk corn was also export loaded The animal feed originated from MidSouth Feeds in Nashville Tennessee A second vessel the MINI LEAF also visited recently
While Mini Lines has not adopted a regular schedule for Brunswick their recent successes there raise the strong possibility that future movements might eventuate Local agents for Mini Lines are Brunswick Ship Agencies Marine Port Terminals handle stevedoring responsibilities for the vessels

TFL Ups Capacity
The Independence class TFL ENTERPRISE carried the firms colors to Savannah increasing container capacity by 35 percent over her predecessor
Trans Freight Lines has introduced into service two new Independence class vessels on its regular South AtlanticNorthern Europe run The service links Savannah with the ports of Rotterdam Bremerhaven LeHavre and Bristol on a fortnightly basis Following the vessel acquisition strategy which proved so successful in its North Atlantic service the firm initially entered the market with two smaller chartered vessels John Arwood President of TFL summarizes subsequent operating strategy When we began this service last summer our goal was to establish our service utilizing chartered vessels replacing them with owned tonnage when cargo
support warranted larger ships
Obviously market realities have exceeded TFLs early prognostications since that replacement is taking place earlier than had been planned We are far ahead of schedule largely because of strong shipper support Arwood observed adding That TFL has had to increase tonnage significantly at such an early date only underscores the fact of our immediate acceptance into this trade route
Specifically the new vessels boost TFLs capacity by 35 percent The two new diesel powered vessels are the TFL ENTERPRISE and TFL EXPRESS Each is capable of transporting 850 TEUs of
containers Alltrans International Inc is North American General Agent for TFL while Harrington is local agent
A dynamic steamship line has combined efforts with the burgeoning Port of Savannah to produce a solid level of business in an incredibly short time TFL has provided the frequent reliable cost effective service that shippers demand Landside Georgia Ports Authority has provided the same caliber of service and level of customer responsiveness Its no wonder that TFL is ahead of its own optimistic timetable on the road to becoming a major transportation force on the South Atlantic

Jekyll Towing
Jekyll Towing and Marine Services have introduced their multitalented tug JEKYLL ISLE to the Brunswick marine scene
The Port of Brunswicks harborscape has been dramatically altered with the arrival of the tug JEKYLL ISLE It is operated by the newly opened firm of Jekyll Towing and Marine Services Corporation located in Brunswick
The vessel has been designed and constructed to permit its use in a variety of maritime applications Measurements include a length overall of 76 feet beam of 24 feet and a displacement of 185 tons A strict design parameter required that the vessel not exceed a light draft of 9 feet allowing access to ports with restrictive depth limitations The engines deliver a maximum of 1200 horsepower At cruising speed she hs a range of 3500 miles and possesses a complete array of sophisticated navigational gear The JEKYLL ISLE was constructed by GladdingHearn Shipbuilding Corporation of Somerset Massachusetts
The vessel is being offered for hire in two primary areas First she will be available for towing duties to companies requiring a tug Secondly she will be utilized for engineering research dive support and survey endeavors Her winch and crane capabilities permit side and stern lifts up to 6 tons at sea suiting the vessel ideally for ocean engineering projects She has deck space adequate to accommodate a 20 foot lab module without restricting normal on deck operations
Jekyll Towing constructed the vessel based on their belief that there is a need for mediumsized vessels of this type which are economical to operate yet have the power and range to handle both midocean as well as coastal jobs Judging by the result it would seem the JEKYLL ISLE fulfills the stated design goals of versatility and economy quite admirably

Savannah Heavy Lift Capabilities A Quantum Leap
The 175 ton gantry crane emerges as the newest and largest member of GPAs impressive crane fleet
Heavy lift capabilities in Savannah received a gigantic boost with the introduction into service of a new gantry crane at GPAs Ocean Terminal It boasts a 175 ton capacity at a radius of 45 feet and is capable of turning through a complete 360 Cost of the project was 18 million
Track mounted the new crane will be able to serve seven berths 14 through 20 In addition the gantry rail configuration will permit it to access a large open storage area located immediately adjacent to the berthing area This arrangement will allow handling of heavy lift cargoes to and from rail cars and trucks in marshalling areas as well as during ship operations
Completion of the crane precipitated another important handling improvement at Ocean Terminal
Refurbishing began on an existing 50 ton gantry which will be upgraded and transferred to berths 1 and 2 Previously handling at those berths had to be accomplished utilizing only ships gear and mobile cranes Included in the refurbishing package will be extension of the boom This upgrading will permit the crane to handle loads to 26 tons at radii up to 85 feet This capability will permit handling of 20 and 40 foot breakbulk containers stacked up to three high on the outboard side of breakbulkcontainer combination vessels
Handling improvements will continue with the completion of a 100 ton gantry crane in midsummer of this year It will serve the same area as the 175 ton crane including the open storage locations The crane will lift maximum
capacity to a radius of 65 feet Like its big brother it can rotate through a full 360 Cost for the second crane will run approximately 176 million
These additions to our heavy equipment fleet will do much to enhance Savannahs already solid reputation for handling breakbulk cargo Total gantry availability at Ocean Terminal will be doubled while maximum lift capacity will jump to 275 tons GPA will be able to handle a much wider range of heavy and project cargoes Ocean Terminal berths 1 and 2 will become operationally complete with the upgrading and transfer of the 50 ton gantry crane Georgia Ports continues its drive to develop the Port of Savannah to its fullest potential and these improvements are just the latest proof of that commitment

High volumes of export woodpulp have prompted several recent Brunswick calls by Timber Lines vessels The most recent visitor was the Greek MV FALCON During her stopover she loaded some 7000 tons of pulp The cargo was accumulated from three separate sources the Buckeye Scott and Mead Corporations
While no scheduled service has been announced repeated cargo availability has led the line into providing service on a very regular basis John McCloud of Southeastern Maritime local agents and stevedores for Timber Line explained that their vessels were currently calling at a rate of approximately every 35 days He indicated that continued service at predictable intervals was highly likely in view of the steady increase in exports through Brunswick McCloud indicated that good productivity on the part of both port authority and ILA personnel had been a key factor in scheduling of additional calls by Timber Lines vessels The line provides service between Brunswick and the European ports of Antwerp Bremen and Rotterdam

The first two of Yang Ming Lines new containerships recently called Savannah The MING SUN and the MING MOON were the first of seven new fully cellurized vessels which will be introduced into the lines U S EastGulf Costs Far East service The five remaining sister ships will all be completed and launched before years end and will be christened MING STAR MING GALAXY MING GLORY MING OCEAN and MING UNIVERSE
Addition of the new vessels will permit Yang Ming to improve service frequency to every ten days this summer and weekly by the end of the year Yang Mings vessels connect Savannah with the ports of Kaohsiung Keelung Kobe Pusan Yokohama and Hong Kong
The new ships will also greatly increase the lines overall capacity At 689 feet LOA the vessels boast capacities of 1608 TEUs which will double the capability of the first generation vessels now in service
Yang Ming engaged in this major fleet expansion to enable it to accept additional cargoes which it had been unable to accommodate Demand for reliable Far Eastern service had evidently outstripped the ability of established carriers to meet it Company officials are confident that sufficient containers are available to keep the new vessels operating at or near capacity
Yang Ming Line is based in Taiwan The firm recently announced two high level personnel changes Mr MengBing Chih was appointed Chairman and Mr H W Kyo was named President
The Port of Savannah shares Yang Mings belief in the need for reliable service and shares their confidence in the success of the expanded service Brisk load and discharge activity during the visits of the first two vessels testifies that it is indeed being wellreceived We congratulate our business partner on their fine new
equipment and pledge our support in their attainment of their corporate goals If our past mutual
successes are any indication the future looks bright for Yang Ming and Georgia Ports Authority

Tabs Savannah
Negev Airbase Constructors a New York based firm has designated Savannah as the principal port for export shipment of equipment and supplies to be utilized in the construction of Negev Airbase The 500 million facility will be located at Wadi Ovda near Elait Israel The airbase is being developed as a result of agreements reached during the Camp David negotiations among the United States Israel and Egypt
A variety of cargo will be moved through Savannah destined for the project Robert L Rhodes Traffic Manager of NAC described cargoes as including everything from cookie cutters to caterpillars He explained that a container recently shipped to the project did in fact include several boxes of cookie cutters plus spare parts for heavy equipment While precise volumes are undetermined it is certain that Negevs selection of Savannah will mean substantial cargo volumes for the port
Negevs designation of Savannah resulted from a careful port comparison analyzing factors such as facilities storage availability Israeli steamship service and overland transportation The fact that the Port of Savannah was ultimately designated highlights its impressive blend of these important ingredients Continuing development and expansion at Georgia Ports Authority such as container berth 4 and the new heavy lift cranes will guarantee that it continues to attract business from major project shippers such as Negev Airbase Constructors

GPAs bulk facility handled some 20000000 bushels of soybeans this past season
Continental Grain reports substantial soybean volumes through GPAs dry bulk complex for the recently concluded shipping year Some 20000000 bushels of the crop passed across the facilitys conveyors Ninety percent of that total were Georgia grown and movements through Savannah involved one third of the states entire soybean production for the year
Because Continental has generated a tremendous demand for this commodity many Georgia farmers have made the switch to avail themselves of this convenient and profitable marketplace Early indications point to even higher soybean plantings next season Continental officials foresee the possibility of a 50 percent increase in exports to 30000000 bushels contingent upon favorable growing conditions and implementation of planned expansion of truck unloading facilities Continental and Georgia Ports share a longer range confidence in the Port of Savannahs bulk potentials as evidenced by initiation of early planning for expansion of flat and elevator storage Next year looks good and the future looks even more promising In short theres good news and better news

The visit of the Algerian MV KSAR BOUKHARI marked the first call by one of Compagnie Nationale Algrienne de Navigations general cargo vessels The CNAN vessel called Savannah to load some 2000 metric tons of woodpulp destined for Sousse
CNAN has expanded their service this year to include several east coast ports Expanded demand for service between Algeria and the United States prompted the company to diversify its itinerary Scheduled ports of call in the Mediterranean include Oran Arzew Algiers Skikda and Annaba via Skikda Service is also available to Sousse Tunisia and to several Libyan ports
The line has previously been heavily involved in transporting project cargoes to Algeria The oil and natural gas industries in that nation have spawned continued demand for essential high technology and heavy equipment items In addition CNAN carries a wide mixture of breakbulk cargoes between the two countries
Officials of CNAN and TTT Ship Agencies their Savannah representatives are hopeful that the volume of business will warrant establishment of regular service between Savannah and Algeria The fact that a second vessel has already been scheduled would suggest that such a move might beome a reality in the near future
Savannah has always been a primary export point for forest products so continued paper demand in Algeria should mean more tonnage through Savannah In addition the availability of two new heavy lift cranes 175 and 100 tons at Ocean Terminal will attract project and other heavy cargoes further increasing the likelihood of Savannah Algeria trade It seems likely that a combination of CNANs reliable service and Savannahs growing reputation as an international transportation center will produce the cargo volumes that will dictate the need for establishment of a regular schedule
South Atlantic Caribbean Ports Association
Major General Joseph K Bratton Division Engineer South Atlantic Division U S Army Corps of Engineers addressed the annual spring meeting of the South Atlantic and Caribbean Ports Association held in April at the Port of Palm Beach
Speaking at the time of a nationwide freeze on Corps projects General Bratton said the Corps is attempting to cope not only with the shortage of funds this year as a result of inflation and the likelihood that Congress will vote down supplemental appropriation for the Corps but also with anticipated budget cuts for fiscal 1981 because of attempts to balance the federal budget
Speaking with cautious optimism General Bratton said he thought the freeze would be lifted in May adding all new contracts will be carefully scrutinized in Washington on a case by case basis and approved for award according to national priorities
General Bratton said he expects most new maintenance contracts to be approved and the programs already planned to get underway in May As for 1981 I think our harbors will also fare well
In other business the membership elected new officers to serve two year terms beginning at the Association Fall Meeting in Asheville North Carolina Assuming their responsibilities at that time will be Don Welch Executive Director of the South Carolina State Port Authority as President Admiral William Green Executive Director of the North Carolina State Port Authority as First Vice President Carmen Lunetta Executive Director of the Port of Miami as Second Vice President Robert W Goethe Assistant Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority as Third Vice President and Joe Fannon Director of Traffic and Tariffs of the Georgia Ports Authority as SecretaryTreasurer

THIS ISSUES COVER is graced by a painting of Savannahs Waving Girl statue It memorializes Savannahs world renowned Florence Martus who greeted ships for 44 years waiting in vain for her returning lover The statue has become closely identified with the Port of Savannah But beyond that Miss Martus welcome wave has become symbolic of the welcome our port city extends to visitors
That welcome is being accepted by an ever increasing number of international traders every day Savannah has grown to become the foreign commerce leader on the South Atlantic and the trend is continuing By extending the same spirit of cordiality fostered by Florence Martus both on the personal and business planes we have secured the good will and confidence of the worlds businessmen and the commerce that goes along with them
Beginning with this issue of the AnchorAge we will publish an Annual Port Update to chronicle the year in review Well take a look at events of the past twelve months and some of the conditions which caused them Well examine
current and future needs and the status of plans and programs to meet them In short well take a look at where weve been as a port and where were going
To obtain our information weve gone to the irrefutable source Savannahs maritime community These interviews with a cross section of transportation professionals provide some keen insights into the complex animal that is the Port of Savannah Many of their notions are shared while others are innovative unique and even surprising But then again that comes as no shock That type of unrestricted free thinking has been a prime contributing factor to our past successes
Savannah has been doing very well and here are a few of the reasons why
UNITED ARAB INAUGURATES FULL CONTAINER SERVICE
United Arab Shippings MV BELLATRIX Instituted the companys new SavannahMiddle East container service
UNITED ARAB Shipping has initiated a regular full container service from Savannah direct to the Middle East The company is the national flag line of Kuwait Bahrain Qatar Saudi Arabia the United Arab Emirates and Iraq Stevens Shipping and Terminal Company are local agents
Four vessels will be engaged in the run providing a frequency of every two weeks The MV BELLATRIX made the first call for the new service She will be followed by three new container vessels the MVs AL RUMAITHIAH AL SHAMIAH and AL AHMADIAH Each features a capacity of 800 TEUs while operating at an optimum cruising speed of 17 knots Their Middle East itinerary will include stops at the ports of Jeddah Dubai Damman Kuwait and Basrah
United Arab is no stranger to the Savannah shipping scene They have been operating a regular breakbulk service between Savannah and the Middle East for some time The combined services will see three of their ships per month calling Savannah United Arab Shippings U S Owners Representative Kenneth Porter summarized the firms decision to initiate the new service We have added this new sailing and
container capacity due to the increased demand of exporters particularly in the industries of foodstuffs carpets and building and construction materials he stated
The new found buying power of the Middle East nations is no secret As demands for finished goods in that part of the world has increased so has the demand for reliable transportation for them Likewise a great deal of money is being invested by those countries at home to establish manufacturing facilities which will funnel goods to the U S and around the world Again stable and sufficient ocean transport will be critical to the success of those endeavors As the leading international commerce port on the South Atlantic Savannah has striven to expand its carrier connections with the Middle East The addition of United Arabs container service is an important element in our overall steamship picture United Arabs vessel deployment strategies are founded in their determination to provide their customers with the type of service they desire tls obvious they choose their ports for the same reasons

will be refurbished its lifting capacity enhanced and then it will be moved to berths 1 and 2 at Ocean Terminal Currently there is no gantry crane serving those berths As a result the addition of the two new gantries has had the combined effect of increasing equipment availability quadrupling individual and twin lift capacity and extending gantry coverage to all berths at Ocean Terminal
Erecting of the new crane required a very short time as it was fully operational a few weeks after arrival When it arrived by barge main structural components were lifted off in assembly sequence and secured in place as they came off As a result basic assembly required only a few days
The new gantries join 400000 square feet of warehousing and considerable open storage as the latest additions to the breakbulk scenario at Ocean Terminal The crane tracks permit them access to berths 1420 as well as one of the large new open storage areas As shippers analyze port capabilities in making their transportation decisions these improvements will serve to make Savannah even more prominent as the obvious logical choicen
AS REPORTED in our last issue GPAs new 175 ton gantry has become a part of the equipment fleet at Ocean Terminal Following testing and subsequent certification the crane performed its first lifting chore the cargo our new 100 ton gantry crane
The second gantry can handle the 100 ton load to a radius of 65 feet It can lift 30 tons at 100 feet on the main hook It reaches a height of 90 at the topping works while the boom length to the whip is 110 feet It is also located at
JULYAUGUST
The 175 ton gantry lifts components for 100 ton gantry onto dock at Ocean Terminal
Ocean Terminal and utilizes the same trackage as its bigger brother
This new combination permits twin lifts to 275 tons depending on cargo configuration The outreach capabilities of the two permit heavy lifts to the outboard side of the largest vessels
As part of the acquisition plan for the two new gantries the decision was made to upgrade an existing crane This 50 ton model

FUNDS FOR enlargement of the Kings Island Turning Basin have been released by the U S Army Corps of Engineers The price tag on the total project will be 97 million and will result in new dimensions of 1500 feet wide by 1600 feet long by 38 feet depth at mean low water plus a two foot allowable overdepth The contract will require new dredging of
5000000 cubic yards of material plus an additional 500000 cubic yards in associated maintenance dredging The contract is scheduled to be let in midAugust with completion tabbed for eleven months thereafter
The basin is located directly across from GPAs CONTAINERPORT The enlargement was designed to permit turning of second and third generation containerships as well as large bulk carriers The new configuration will permit easy handling of vessels of this size regardless of the occupancy status of the berths at the CONTAINERPORT Currently larger vessels cannot be readily maneuvered when CONTAINERPORT berthing is at full utilization often having to await high tide before accomplishing the swing The mid1981 completion date will bring the basin on stream before the end of construction of GPAs fourth container berth scheduled for the summer of 1982
Increased traffic on the Savannah River and design characteristics of vessels now being constructed make appropriate harbor maintenance and improvements crucial The release of funds is good news for our port and its maritime community Perpetuation of the growth trend will continue to depend on an ongoing analysis of ships and shipping in the harbor This major commitment by the government clearly indicates that the recent successes of the Port of Savannah have not gone unnoticed

Brunswick Bulk Warehouse The Second Time Around
Support columns for Brunswicks second bulk warehouse push skyward as Its sister facility serves as a model in the background
CONSTRUCTION HAS commenced on a second bulk warehouse at GPAs Brunswick Terminal The facility will be identical to its sister structure which opened for business earlier this year
The facility will comprise some
50000 square feet capable of housing up to 24000 tons of cargo depending upon commodity density It stands some 71 feet at the apex While the Phase I Warehouse was divided into six storage bins the new building will be split into only two Their combined configuration will permit segregation of cargoes by size of total shipment product grade or lot
The Phase II Warehouse will be situated immediately adjacent to the first This location will permit it to be tied into the existing conveyor system with a minimum of expense The conveyor is fed via a clamshell bucket and hopper arrangement along the dockside leg It then crosses the roof of the transit shed travelling to Warehouse I a distance of some 1000 feet That leg will be extended to service the second facility Cargoes can be moved across the system at rates up to 500 tons per hour
Further improvements to Brunswick bulk handling capabilities will eventuate in the short term future Funds have already been approved and a contract let for a multiproduct bulk unloader to serve the conveyor system The 22 million piece of equipment will be equipped with a five cubic yard bucket and will feed the belt at rates up to 500 tons per hour Further into the decade plans call for expansion of storage capability at Brunswick Terminal and development of a major bulk handling complex on GPAs nearby Colonels Island
Utilization of the Phase I Warehouse has been consistent and marketing indicators predict a continuing surge in bulk movements through Southeastern ports Blessed with a combination of strategic location site availability and excellent hinterland access Brunswick looms large as the obvious location for needed bulk handling facilities Georgia Ports is meeting the demand with todays construction and scientific planning for the future Bulk tonnages in the years to come certainly seem destined to justify our confidence in the Port of BrunswickO

SAVANNAH HAS added an important new member to its port services lineup with the opening of offices by World Wide Crating and Warehousing Company Inc The firm offers a full range of services including crating consolidation and inventory control
In the MayJune issue it was announced that Negev Airbase Constructors had selected Savannah as export point for supplies destined for that project in Israel Upon selecting Savannah Negev solicited bids from packers to handle their goods through Savannah World Wide was able to obtain that contract based on cost factors proven capabilities and prior experience as Negevs packer when the shipments were being exported through the Gulf Negev opted to divert the cargo from the Gulf based on superior steamship service availability from Savannah to the Middle East Both Negevs selections of Savannah and World Wide were ultimately approved by the Corps of Engineers which is supervising the project
Landing the Negev contract was the final factor in World Wides decision to make Savannah their expansion port But Jim Lyons General Manager for the firm is quick to emphasize that other factors weighed heavily We were very much impressed with the growth of the Port of Savannah and the aggressiveness of its maritime community he stated He also observed that the quality of facilities and availability of open storage made Savannah a good project
port He summarized World Wides Savannah sales perspective stating If we go to a project manager we feel Savannah will be an easy port to sell Another factor which tilted the scales in Savannahs favor was the fact that Its a good general cargo port a fact which is critical to a packer Lyons concluded The selection of Savannah was the culmination of a careful three year search by World Wide to find a suitable port for expansion of their operations
Lyons also noted that his companys success cannot be predicated on Negev cargoes alone The firm will be soliciting other cargoes as well and plans to remain on the Savannah scene permanently To guarantee the professionalism of its services World Wide plans to employ a fulltime staff of carpenters checkers warehouse per

World Wides entry into the Savannah maritime marketplace has been carefully orchestrated Its Gulf operation has quintupled its volume since 1976 when World Wides parent company RyanWalsh Stevedoring took over Lyons reflects his companys positive outlook for its Savannah business observing We fully expect to have even bigger growth in Savannah As manager of both operations he is certainly qualified to make that appraisal He has been with RyanWalsh since the World Wide subsidiary was formed Prior to that time he had five additional years experience in the field most recently as manager of a packing facility for Houston Export Crating
The simultaneous arrival of World Wide Crating and Warehousing and Negev Airbase Constructors in a classic example of the reciprocal relationship between cargo and port services The Port of Savannahs growth in both of these areas has been tremendous over the past several years Continuing addition of firms such as World Wide to our portfolio will assure that the upward slope continuesn

TILSTON ROBERTS Corporation General Agents for Peruvian State Line CPV has announced the initiation of scheduled service between Savannah and South America The firm has previously booked vessels to Savannah on an inducement basis but calls will now be made regularly
Currently the schedule calls for service on a frequency of one vessel every three weeks both inbound and outbound
The service will connect Savannah with ports in three countries Peru Bolivia and Chile South American ports to be called include Salaverry Callao Matarani No Valparaiso San Vicente Guayaquil Lirquen and Talcahuano
The MVs PALMA and INCA YAHUAR HUACA were the first to call within the framework of the new service They loaded and discharged miscellaneous cargo at GPAs Ocean Terminal
Currently those two vessels compose the fleet handling the service However CPV may divert other vessels as circumstances dictate
Peruvian Line is the latest in a series of lines which have converted from inducement to scheduled service into the Port of Savannah It is customary for firms to test the waters in a new port before making a full schedule commitment What is not customary is the speed with which that decision can be made with regard to Savannah Burgeoning cargo volumes continue to attract the attention of solid carriers such as CPV and the result has been the development of the most comprehensive steamship portfolio on the South Atlantic We welcome the addition of our new business partner and wish them success in their undertakings
The Peruvian MV PALMA made the first call on Peruvian State Lines new Savannah South American service

OCEAN TERMINAL WAREHOUSING
SECOND REPRISE
A SECOND NEW warehouse has been completed at Ocean Terminal The first was occupied earlier this year The new facility is located south of slip two and immediately adjacent to the recently paved open storage area It will be utilized for marshalling a variety of breakbulk cargoes
The vital statistics for the warehouse are impressive indeed It comprises nearly 200000 square feet Ceiling elevation is 24 feet at the walls and 33 feet at the centerpoint These heights provide excellent high cube capability greatly increasing storage capacity per unit area Support members are limited to a single row of steel beams at the center aisle further enhancing capacity and permitting ready access to storage locations
Intermodal access to the facility has also been given careful consideration Platform height truck unloading is accomplished through 16 doors on one side of the building Each door is equipped with a flexible seal which effectively weatherproofs handling operations eliminating unnecessary delays and damage from the elements Double rail sidings serve the opposite side of the facility where a canopy runs the length of the rail dock to permit continuation of handling during rainy weather Ramps at the ends
of the building access its interior
Completion of this second warehouse will further solidify GPAs reputation as the South Atlantic leader in handling breakbulk cargoes The recent addition of a 175 ton gantry and paving of additional open storage are several more examples of the ongoing improvements at Ocean Terminal A 100 ton gantry will be operational in the near future Plans call for refurbishing and upgrading of a 50 ton gantry and moving it to berths 1 and 2 and development of additional transit and warehouse space
Ocean Terminals new warehouse cuts a sleek line as it stands ready to back up the facilitys 14 general cargo berths
GPA continues its tradition of meeting needs as opposed to handling crises Marketing efforts from past years have precipitated todays changes to meet tomorrows needs and the process is continuing Future capital investments will be based on an ongoing analysis of trends in cargo flows packaging and most important user needs While the GPA picture down the road may be hazy it is certain that our facilities configuration will reflect the state of the transportation industry at any point in timen
High wide and open are the words which best describe the interior of the new facility

SAVANNAH
J KENNETH OBRIEN Vice President of Alltrans International general agents for Trans Freight Lines recently voiced some laudatory remarks in discussing his firms successes with their South Atlantic service On the first anniversary of the inauguration of the service he cited Savannah for efficient services in remarks made during an interview with Traffic World an established transportation periodical
In his remarks OBrien noted that the firms move to company owned tonnage was made in half the time originally estimated He cited excellent customer response a positive relationship with the port and efficient container handling as major factors in the early achievement of company goals He observed container handling capabilities provide us with rapid loading and discharge which is instrumental in turning our cargo around quickly and maintaining our schedules
TFLs success is typical of the response experienced by the many new carriers who have joined Savannahs burgeoning list of steamship services The industrial and population explosion of the Sun Belt has generated increasing demand for raw materials and finished goods and the transportation systems to deliver them Carriers like TFL have joined hands with Georgia Ports to meet that demand and make the Port of Savannah the leading international commerce port on the South Atlantic

CityPort of Savannah

The intrinsic relationship between the City and Port of Savannah has existed since its founding Like most of the early colonial cities it was located based on ready access to the prime transportation and supply link of the era the ocean Ever since that time the development of the two has been closely intertwined
The epitome of Savannahs pride in its history is River Street where the city and the port converge Fittingly enough the opposite ends of the River Street redevelopment area are anchored by major maritime concerns At the west end lies Georgia Ports Authoritys Ocean Terminal and on the east Atlantic Towing Company
Savannahs historic charm attracts a steady stream of visitors They invariably leave the city warmed by the hospitality and personal attention they have received The port community gears its activities to instill those same feelings in its customers A look at the past year will attest to the value of this strategy
I
The Year In Review
The most basic evaluation of the year can be drawn from a quick look at tonnage statistics Actual figures for the total port are not yet available but Georgia Ports numbers have proven to be highly representative in recent years GPA normally accounts for approximately 13 of total Port of Savannah tonnage
The figures show a doubling of GPA tonnages since 1976 In 1976 the total Port of Savannah handled just over 9000000 tons and knowledgeable estimates place the FY 1980 figure around 15000000 Other terminal operators reported an excellent FY 80 as well
A number of facility improvements and expansions have changed the face of the harbor Some prime examples are the two new 200000 square foot warehouses at Ocean Terminal and Colonial Oils improvements to its new terminal A number of the firms have constructed or refurbished warehousing to accommodate a variety of
GEORGIA PORTS TONNAGE

New Ocean Terminal warehousing will provide an additional 400000 feet of ultramodern storage and marshalling area
Export packers such as Fenwick Company provide a valuable service to shippers of delicate and project cargoes
cargoes On the equipment side 175 ton and 100 ton gantry cranes bring a combined lift capacity of 275 tons to Ocean Terminal
As expected transportation and maritime services growth kept pace with volume increases Steamship line announcements made in 1979 will bring an additional 350 vessel calls to Savannah in 1980 Savannah continues to rank third in the country in export rail cars loaded providing a continuous flow of equipment to the port The number of motor carriers serving the port increased 10 percent
Port service agencies including forwarders brokers and agents continued to grow in number and size Burgeoning cargo volumes and increased steamship service have resulted in the quadrupling of the number of export packers carrying the promise of considerable additional tonnage particularly among project cargoes
Operational and administrative systems refinement drew considerable effort from all segments of the port community Use of computers continued to expand as individual firms sought to automate processing procedures The Georgia Ports computer system for containers was completed and U S Customs and several individual agents forwarders and brokers joined the computer network
Terminal operators and stevedores cooperated to produce a steady flow of improved handling procedures Color coding and hatch continguous stowage for
paper products became the rule New grappling configurations permitted quicker safer handling of goods James Trussell of East Coast Terminal cited an example and its results Weve revamped our cargo handling procedures to provide more expeditious service and better inventory control Were tailoring what we do to the needs of the customer We have implemented changes in packaging as to enhance handling effectiveness and minimize claims and complaints he stated
Savannah maritime leaders provide some keen insights into what the success factors are
James Trussell Manager of East Coast Terminal
East Coast Terminal reported brisk business for FY 80 particularly among the forest products group
The Reasons
James W Sledge President of the Savannah Independent Freight Forwarders and Customhouse Brokers Association
James I Newsome Jr Executive Director of the Savannah Maritime Association
The most universally cited success factor mentioned by those interviewed was a phenomenon best described as the Port Team Concept Separate groups within the maritime group employ a program of open communications and practical problem solving that keeps the total machine humming along Communications is the consensus key ingredient even among competitors James W Sledge President of the Savannah Independent Freight Forwarders and Customhouse Brokers Association sums it up observing I have competitors and we do compete but we dont fight Labor relations in Savannah are equally productive James I Newsome Jr
Executive Director of the Savannah Maritime Association says Our overall labor atmosphere is excellent We maintain positive labormanagement communications which furthers our greatest common interest customer service
Appropriate facilities and equipment are obviously of critical importance to shippers and carriers alike In the last five years the Port of Savannahs commitment to providing them has totalled nearly 300 million The importance of meeting these needs is underscored by Thomas P Hann President of the Savannah Maritime Association discussing the new heavy lift cranes He states I personally have turned down numerous cargoes because of lack of crane capacity in the Port of Savannah Addition of these cranes will mean not only more heavy lifts but more cargo overall The capability to handle the heavy lifts will attract shippers and carriers whether or not they ever actually utilize that capability The liquefied natural gas facility Southern Bulk Industries Forest Commodities and several others represent extensive outlays of new terminal dollars In addition nearly 200 million has been spent to upgrade existing facilities
Other than the obvious appeal to shippers and carriers construction and maintenance of modern facilities has an important influence in another area Frank
C Ryan President of Local 1475 Clerks and Checkers of the ILA explains Good clean facilities have a definite positive impact on checker performance Facilities design in the Port of Savannah reflects a concern for creating work areas which are conducive to productivity and safety
One phrase that frequently suffixes the name of the Port of Savannah is strategic location The bend of the East Coast places it further inland than any of its competitors William W Sprague Jr President of Savannah Foods and Industries Inc voices his views Geographically this port is very well situated For

John W Patton Officer in Charge of the local USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Office
Georgia Ports Consolidated Freight Stationlnterchange complex is a fine example of recent facilities improvements in the port
example were as close to Charlotte North Carolina as are the ports on the eastern coast of North Carolina Were also very competitive to the Midwest J I Newsome Jr cited a different frame of reference stating Being half way between Norfolk and Miami Savannah is a natural gateway to the Sun Belt Locationwise Savannah is in the right place at the right time
Savannah is also blessed with internal location benefits The single straight line configuration of the harbor places terminals and associated services in close proximity to each other John W Patton Officer in Charge of the local USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Office observes Centralized port facilities are the key to ready access by users the maritime community and governmental agencies
In the last decade industrialization has swept across the Sun Belt or so called Southern Rim This trend has brought with it the twin demands for raw materials for manufacturing and consumer goods for the increasing population while generating a skyrocketing flow of export goods The Port of Savannah has assumed two roles in this development first as a major factor in convincing industry to locate in the South and secondly as the water transportation center for these new industries
EXPORT AND COASTAL CARS UNLOADED

Number of Cars In Thousands
Figures by American Association of Railroads
Rail cars loaded with grain and containers for export have pushed Savannah to the number three ranking among US ports That posture was still valid according to figures for the first half of 1980
George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority
President Melanie Bowen Atlanta Maritime Association
Another prime beneficiary of the southern industrial surge has been the City of Atlanta George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority summarizes stating In the last few years we have seen the emergence of Atlanta as the economic center of the New South Savannah has lost no time in availing itself of Atlantas explosion Nichols explains Savannah is the physicial transportation extension of Atlanta Interstate 16 emanates from the heart of Savannah to meet with 175 in Macon which in turn connects with Atlanta 195 the major northsouth corridor passes a few miles west of Savannah Family Lines and Southern Railroad systems provide complete flexible service in and out of the port
A major part of the overall development plan has been the Port of Savannah awareness strategy The shunning of the sleepy port stereotype required a two pronged effort involving development of facilities and effective operating systems and extensive marketing James I Newsome Jr summarizes the intent to achieve recognition by the international business community of the superiority of the Port of Savannah GPAs Trade Development staff sales forces of maritime concerns Governor Busbee the Savannah Port Authority Chambers of Commerce and the State Department of Industry and Trade have all helped to make the Port of Savannah a major topic of discussion throughout the world Our successes have been founded in our ability to promulgate our story worldwide
Awareness has been a major consideration for the Atlanta Maritime Association as well As Savannah has become a force to be dealt with among world ports port service firms have come to Atlanta in increasing numbers The Associations President Melanie Bowen explains their objectives One of our biggest jobs is to make people aware that there is a strong maritime community in Atlanta The figures would indicate that Savannah and Atlanta are sharing a remarkable rise in their desired recognition quotient
The ports physicial and administrative personalities are rooted in careful planning and decision making that took place in years past Local maritime officials agree that the growth of container and bulk volumes without the sacrifice of breakbulk cargoes has only been possible as a result of timely delivery of facilities and systems to handle that growth
Savannah has always utilized its cargo diversity to retain its vitality in the face of varying world trade economics Individual terminal operators such as Georgia Ports Authority and Colonial Oil actively pursue this posture to minimize the effect of localized trends Robert H Demere President of Colonial Oil Industries Inc summarizes his companys current strategy Our petroleum business is off a little particularly gasoline due to conservation smaller cars and high prices Weve compensated for this by picking up some new stowage accounts particularly with petrochemical products Besides stability this diversity affords handson exposure to the wide spectrum of cargo types and configurations moving in world trade
The considerable influence of the state of Georgia has been of tremendous value in two primary areas business solicitation and of course funding Colonel Tilford

While tonnage at GPA facilities has doubled in five years employment figures have remained stable This productivity curve is reflected throughout the Port of Savannah

Effectiveness of facilities and procedures is dependent upon the professionalism of the personnel utilizing them George Nichols of Georgia Ports explains You can put all the facilities in the world in place but theyre useless unless your personnel and systems development keep pace Reverend Elizah Jackson President of ILA Local 1414 discussed his organizations programs to promote productivity Were trying to train our labor force to give good service that is fast with low damage Essentially were trying to turn the ships around But the ILAs indoctrination goes beyond physical performance Were trying to produce increased ILA realization of the role of their productivity in total port competitiveness We engage in programs to instill port knowledge and job pride in our men We believe that the more a man feels a part of something the more positive his contribution
Careful personnel selection provides port concerns with raw talent possessing a high capacity for development and progression Max Willis outgoing US
Customs District Director outlines his Organizations approach stating Customs has been very meticulous in staff selection seeking both technical and human relations qualifications
A number of factors have been named as contributing to Savannahs success but in one form or another they all boil down to a single consideration service
Each unit of the total community is committed to full service to its customers obviously but also to its fellow members of the maritime group Only by assuming a unified approach the Port Team Concept can we achieve our goals James Sledge describes the need for this type of harmony Interdependability among maritime agencies is the key in our industry because its a telephone industry
Two quotes from local government officials typify that sectors positive approach to performance and concern for the vitality of the port Max Willis of U S Customs observes Our performance is the key to timely cargo release and we know this Savannah Customs postures itself to handle its processing in the way customers want to see it done We try to maintain strong business empathy Colonel Creel states the Corps of Engineers position We serve the port by assumption of an aggressive stance in advising port interests of potential problem areas and particular needs
Melanie Bowen of the Atlanta Maritime Association provides a telling insight into the criticality of superior service For a forwarder facilities are not that big a sales item Customers assume we are professional enough to make sure the cargo can be handled More often the question will be Is there any problem with the timely release of containers Savannahs success has been predicated on answering questions like these properly and with a conviction born of positive experience Reverend Jackson of the ILA sums it up clearly Savannah excels in the three great areas of carrier interest facilities particularly as provided at GPA competitive cost and service All of these are mutually indispensable

The Needs
William T Brown Master Pilot with the Savannah Pilots Association
Captain Jarold C Carlton US Coast Guard Captain of the Port
Continued vitality in the Port of Savannah will hinge on two factors continuation of those activities which have proven beneficial in the past and identification of new or additional needs coupled with development of plans for their resolution
Several of those interviewed called for simplification of legislation and governmental procedures relative to trade and port development George Nichols of Georgia Ports noting the uncertainty of the current legislative atmosphere stated We desperately need the establishment of a unified national seaport policy recognizing the role our ports play in world trade The same uncertainty pervades the deliberations of potential exporters who often utilize words such as disincentive and counterincentives in describing governmental influence as a negative factor making them lean away from entering the international business arena
Procedural red tape has an equally disconcerting effort on attempts to obtain needed harbor improvements The regulation system while it does ultimately permit action remains prohibitive in terms of time frame and lobbying effort required
Much comment was also forthcoming on the physical needs of the Savannah harbor While Savannah currently has a dependable wide 38 foot channel there was some discussion on proposed improvements Frank Ryan of the ILA Checkers graphically described the need and influencing factor We need the harbor depth increased subsequent to widening This is particularly critical when Savannah is a vessels first port in or last port out William Sprague of Savannah Foods pointed out that lack of widening may be affecting port expansion as well stating Government indecision on widening is hindering development on the north side of the river People dont want to build a facility thats going to be dredged away in a few years Georgia Ports development of its Hutchinson tract hinges on the resolution of this problem

Development of Hutchinson Island on the north side of the Savannah River would be greatly aided by a final determination on widening of the channel
The area beyond the low level Houlihan Bridge was identified as another gold mine for potential development Suggestions for alleviation of the obstruction ranged from replacing it with a high level span to demolition William T Brown Master Pilot with the Savannah Pilots Association expresses it this way A determination on the Houlihan Bridge would open up great potential as far as extending the harbor limits We need to develop additional marine acreage beyond the Houlihan towards Augusta
On the subject of bridges the height restriction posed by the Talmadge Bridge was cited by several of those interviewed Captain Jarold C Carlton U S Coast Guard Captain of the Port went right to the heart of the problem With ships
increasing in size the height of the bridge is restricting vessel movement Robert Demere of Colonial Oil is affected from the point of view that We would have a crack at bunkering on larger vessels if the bridge was not a restriction
Maintenance dredging has been very good but remains a major concern among port interests particularly those upriver such as Savannah Foods and even up to the Koch Fuel and other terminals in Augusta The local Corps of Engineers has been aggressive in relaying the message to appropriate ears Colonel Creel stated Weve stepped up our measures to communicate to our superiors the need to keep the Savannah depths up to project including advanced dredging and overdredging if necessary This has secured the confidence of the lines to continue regular scheduling Location of appropriate spoil areas likewise remains a major priority
Promulgation of Savannah awareness among the world trade community will be critical to solicitation of new shippers and carriers Two specific phenomena which will demand effective marketing efforts were pointed out by Thomas Hann of the Savannah Maritime Association and Frank Ryan of the ILA Clerks and Checkers Hann observed The onslaught of centerportism will make attracting vessels even more critical I personally foresee the day when vessels will make only three calls one North Atlantic one South Atlantic and one Gulf Ryan concurs noting As ships are getting larger theyre making fewer port calls We have to make Savannah the benefactor of these trends The sellers of the Port of Savannah will have to continue their excellent work if the port is to maintain its considerable momentum
Effective planning will be essential to perpetuation of the growth curve in the more distant future A number of areas are critical
1 Manpower Planning Training and development of competent port professionals to handle growth generated business
2 Operations Planning Methods must be continuously fine tuned and procedures developed to accommodate new cargoes and emerging modes
3 Facilities Planning Analyses of cargo and shipping trends must be translated into effective construction programs and schedules James Sledge of the Freight Forwarders and Customhouse Brokers finds this particularly important observing Our only potential obstacle would be the inability to expand physically to meet potential growth We need to initiate our early planning far enough in advance to prevent this
GPA determined that open storage requirements would be increased by 1980 Plans were made and executed to provide additional dockside space by the razing of outdated transit storage The planning process continues its cycle
4 Administrative Planning Office procedures must be audited regularly to ensure they are as expedient as possible consistent with total reliability New initiatives must be incorporated in introducing computer technology to as many areas as possible
The next few years are filled with examples of the Port of Savannahs responses to the analysis and planning function The major ones are outlined in the next section
The Future
GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY VOLUME PROJECTIONS
1980 81 82 83 84
Fiscal Year Ending June 30
Fiscal Year 1980 Actual 5770599 Tons
Projections for the Port of Savannah point to a growth rate in excess of the estimated national average of 9 percent This positive outlook is based upon careful facilities utilization analysis planned physical expansion and existing short and medium range commitments from shippers and carriers Since growth figures for the Port of Savannah have roughly paralleled those of the Georgia Ports Authority the chart at left should be predictive of overall port growth during the next five years
A Equipment and Facilities
Plans currently in the works for the first half of the decade carry a combined price tag of approximately 400 million At GPAs Ocean Terminal plans call for extensive upgrading of general cargo facilities Attempts will be made to acquire property to accommodate additional warehousing and open storage An existing gantry will be overhauled and moved to berths 1 and 2 bringing them gantry crane service for the first time Plans call for relocation of access roads to facilitate traffic movement
Construction has commenced on a fourth berth at CONTAINERPORT to be completed by mid1982 It will provide a 1200 foot berth two additional container cranes and 40 acres of paved storage to join the area now being paved Early planning is underway on further container facility expansions including those on Hutchinson Island
Improvements at Garden City Terminal will include construction of new warehousing and enlargement of the cold storage facility Georgia Ports capital expenditures for the next five years should total some 200 million In the private sector Colonial Oil has extensive plans for improvements at its newer terminal including expansion of the steam plant for heated cargoes and possible addition of clay slurry storage
Initial permits for oil refinery facilities have been approved and plans are proceeding Construction of these facilities would result in tremendous increases in the amount of petrochemicals flowing through the port
Funds have been released for completion of the Kings Island Turning Basin
By summer of 1981 it will boast measurements of 1500 feet wide by 1600 feet long by 38 feet deep and will permit turning of larger vessels at all times regardless of tide stage or utilization of adjacent berths
Aerial view shows surcharging and demolition underway at container berth 4 construction site
Artists rendition depicts completed Kings Island Turning Basin
B Sales and Marketing
Several selective marketing campaigns have been formulated Newly added heavy lift capability and open storage will be used as selling points in attempting to attract project cargoes machinery equipment and steel Paper and pulp exporters will be encouraged to utilize the specialty handling and warehousing facilities at Ocean Terminal The push for container cargoes will continue with construction on berth 4 as a hedge against facility saturation
Sun Belt ecocenters will be canvassed to develop new customers and solicit additional cargoes from existing ones Businesses in emerging countries will be made aware of the viability of Savannah as a port alternative Steamship lines will be urged to provide additional service particularly to and from developing areas of the world Georgia Ports is contemplating addition of an office in the Far East to solicit Southeast Asia and China trade
C Personnel and Services
A number of local concerns will be looking to increased manpower in the near future William Brown of the Savannah Pilots sums up the cause and effect clearly Because of the anticipated workload jump the Pilots will be expanding their staff As mentioned earlier Georgia Ports Trade Development group may be expanded Improved utilization of existing personnel will also be a key consideration to be dealt with through portwide training initiatives John Patton of the USDA summarizing his organizations manpower philosophy reflects the customer
Georgia Ports Authoritys network of Trade Development offices carries the Port of Savannah message worldwide
orientation of the Port of Savannah as a whole Our systems and staffing are designed to minimize hold times and inspections when they become unavoidable Major administrative economies will be realized with the expansion of the GPACCS computer network Already some half dozen firms have installed terminals in their offices enabling them to request and relay container information without exchange of paperwork or telephone communications U S Customs will advance its heavy involvement with computer processing including utilization of a new program to clear vessel manifests Governmental use of EDP is particularly critical in view of longstanding staffing limitations By 1981 a major steamship line will tie its computer to GPACCS as part of its worldwide inventory and control system The lessons learned through the development of GPACCS will be applied to breakbulk cargoes at Georgia Ports by years end providing computerized inventory and billing for that mode
Administrative processing is becoming more and more of a computer function in the Port of Savannah
In Closing
The comments of these leaders of the maritime community evidence a refreshing optimism quite contrary to the economic gloom of our times Robert Demere of Colonial Oil in expressing his companys view echoed the sentiments of the entire group when he stated Were bullish about the Port of Savannah Thats the reason we bought land just up the river This blending of conviction and initiative typify the positive approach that has produced todays vital Port of Savannah
The two recurring themes throughout the interviews were the Port Team Concept and the need to continue a high level of service James Sledge of the Freight Forwarders Association discussing the future of our port covered both of these areas in a telling remark He said Other ports are not our competitors Emerging economic conditions will bring so much cargo into the South Atlantic that we will become our own competitors We will compete with ourselves in terms of maintaining our capability to serve
The Port Team spirit which pervades the Savannah maritime family will provide the type of communication and interdependence that will guarantee our success Reverend Jackson of the ILA says its best If we maintain the tight relationship we now have among the ILA the GPA the Savannah Maritime Association and other port concerns we cant miss

GEORGIA PORTS AUTHORITY BRUNSWICK TERMINAL TONNAGE HISTORY AND PROJECTIONS
1975 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84
The Port of Brunswick is very healthy indeed On the export side it draws from its natural hinterland a wide array of forest and chemical products Leading imports include petrochemicals and a number of dry bulks such as limestone salt potash and land plaster Total cargo handled for the past year reached 1800000 tons
During the year a number of new customers were developed particularly in the areas of pulp exports and bulk imports Tonnage figures for the Georgia Ports Authority terminal in Brunswick show a promising trend The chart at left shows past history and projections which indicate a continuation and even an acceleration of growth during the next five years
Brunswicks bulk facility is already handling large volumes It will be joined in the near future by a sister facility
GPAs terminal lies at the heart of the bristling Port of Brunswick
Recent facility and equipment improvements will contribute to the realization of those projections At GPAs Brunswick Terminal a 50000 square foot bulk warehouse and conveyor system were completed Import potash has begun moving through the facility on a regular basis An existing transit shed was completely reworked for general purpose use The Jekyll Towing Company went into business and introduced its first vessel to the Brunswick scene
Service innovations particularly in the area of pulp marshalling and handling attracted the attention of numerous new customers Lessons learned in Savannah regarding the most efficient ways of receiving and preparing forest products for

Bill Dawson Manager of GPAs Brunswick Terminal
John Raulerson Manager of the Brunswick Port Authority Terminal
export were translated to the Brunswick scenario The burgeoning pulp export business through Brunswick attracted four new general cargo carriers to the area to handle the trade
The prospectus for Colonels Island brightened with the startup of construction by SCM Corporation In addition other land options which were negotiated displayed the interest of major manufacturers in this excellent industrial site
Brunswick is strategically located both in terms of hinterland access and inland transportation availability It is located further inland than East Coast ports of other states and as such has excellent accessibility to the Sun Belt and Midwest Brunswick is often mentioned as an outlet for the proposed Midwest grain corridor with location being a key consideration The highway system in the area is exceptional with access to 195 a matter of a few minutes from the port area Railway service is also well taken care of at both Brunswick and Colonels Island
In selling the Port of Brunswick spokesmen have dwelt on bulk and breakbulk handling capabilities Major sales points in the ports favor in addition to strategic location include good service productive labor and an uncongested setting Bill Dawson Manager of GPAs Brunswick Terminal explains We can provide care in service and cargo handling in an uncongested setting unlike many other ports This is of great interest to shippers
A major reason for the emergence of the Port of Brunswick has been the quality of service provided Despite the fact that it is a relatively small port it exhibits a remarkable versatility By its very nature a small port demands that personnel and resources be ultimately flexible As something of a small specialty port Brunswick is able to provide a degree of customer service unavailable in larger ports John Raulerson Manager of the Brunswick Port Authority Terminal sums it up stating Our customer orientation and specialization are geared to particular cargoes specifically dry and liquid bulks This singularity of direction enables the Port of Brunswick to offer a degree of expertise which is exceptional
By concentrating on bulk breakbulk and neobulk sectors Brunswick has gathered a following of shippers who are most appreciative of the individuality of the service that the small port can provide John Raulerson describes Brunswicks function in the overall scheme of port capabilities Brunswick maintains a support position to other ports to round out the picture for our region We meet needs in areas which are not of primary importance to other South Atlantic ports No doubt increased attention for the Port of Brunswick will mean diversification and introduction of new cargoes in the future However port officials are determined that regardless of the growth factor the careful attention and service which have always been the hallmark of the Port of Brunswick will be maintained
Harbor maintenance and improvement are critical concerns to officials of the Port of Brunswick Deepening of the channel to 36 feet was suggested by several port interests In view of the sales push toward procurement of additional bulk cargoes for Brunswick it is critical that this depth be obtained to permit passage of the larger bulk carriers As far as Colonels Island the port seems to be faced with the traditional Chicken and Egg situation The obtaining of a suitable channel to Colonels Island is being held up contingent upon location of sufficient industry to justify it On the other hand attraction of industry hinges heavily on the availability of just such a channel Resolution of this situation is of great importance if Colonels Island is to be developed to its full potential
Facilities development will also remain critical to the continued growth of Brunswick Particular needs cited by those interviewed included bulk export facilities additional covered storage for breakbulks and open storage for both John Raulerson of the Brunswick Port Authority observed Were satisfying the general cargo neobulk liquid bulk and dry bulk import sectors The shortfall is in the area of dry bulk exports To meet the anticipated increased cargo flows a number of facility improvements are planned A second bulk warehouse is already under construction adjacent to the first at GPAs Brunswick Terminal
To accommodate additional open stored bulks land acquisition plans are being formulated Funds have been approved for construction of a ship unloader to handle import bulk cargoes at GPAs Brunswick Terminal as well
Bulk warehouse II under construction at GPAs Brunswick Terminal
At Colonels Island plans call for the development of major bulk facilities In addition the rail configuration would be amended to permit handling of unit trains of export bulks with minimal switching Development of Colonels Island continues to be a critical consideration in the future of the Port of Brunswick
Bill Dawson of the Georgia Ports Authority explains Extensive site availability at Colonels Island has attracted the attention of numerous manufacturers and shippers As the island is brought to full potential handling in the Port of Brunswick will become more extensive diversified and well rounded
Brunswick Ports Authority has plans for development of a major seafood harbor on Andrews Island Permit applications have been made for a 14 million complex for all phases of that industry including boat building and repair seafood processing and packaging freezing and a fleet support base John Raulerson of Brunswick Port Authority summarizes In general were seeking to develop a total marine industrial park
Brunswick Port officials see their harbor as playing an increasingly important role in Georgias trade picture Raulerson observes that growth can be best accelerated by filling the shipping needs of companies domiciled in or near Brunswick in an effort to enable them to be more competitive Investment by Georgia Ports Authority in facilities for Brunswick will play an important role in its development Bill Dawson explains In the future Brunswick will play a greater role as Georgia Ports Authority decentralizes its breakbulk and bulk handling capability
As we enter the 1980s Brunswick stands in the position to benefit from anticipated surges in grain and coal exports Blessed with an excellent location and considerable site availability it is one of the few remaining ports that can offer a complete package to a prospective bulk exporter This package is being offered on an almost daily basis and the response has been highly encouraging Brunswicks reputation for top notch service in an individualized setting will be a primary factor in securing just such cargo traffic

BULK FACILITY IMPROVEMENT
The new truck dump station will be identical to the existing one shown above separating a tractortrailer from its cargo of wheat
GPAs dry bulk terminal already a fine example of high technology in bulk handling will be further enhanced with the addition of the second truck dumper
SUBSTANTIAL tonnage increases through GPAs multiproduct dry bulk facility at Garden City Terminal have precipitated approval of funding for construction of a second truck unloading station
Flat and elevator storage are currently serviced by a single combination railtruck dump station
The new station will be located in close proximity and identical to the existing one The dumpers will unload either bottom or rear unloading trucks The tilting ramp dumps rear unloaders by raising the entire tractortrailer unit approximately sixty degrees This arrangement speeds up cycle times by eliminating the need for separating tractor and trailer during handling The product passes through a grating and into a hopper which feeds the inbound conveyor Bottom unloading trucks simply pull directly over the same grating for discharge Each station will have a capacity of from 810 trucks and 15000 bushels per hour
Besides doubling unloading capacity per unit time the new facility will also permit simultaneous rail and truck operations The existing station can handle either rail or truck but not both The second truck station will free the existing facility for simultaneous rail discharge
Volumes for the past harvest year showed some 20 million bushels of soybeans and 7 million of wheat Addition of the improved handling facilities will help to speed movement of next years anticipated increased levels Officials of Continental Grain which leases the grain segment of GPAs dry bulk terminal are predicting that 3337 million bushels will pass through the complex in the next season The addition of the second truck dump station testifies that Georgia Ports and Continental share the belief that the increases of the past two years are just the beginning of a long term rise in Savannahs dry bulk exportsn

KOCH
FUELS
OPERATIONS at Koch Fuels Savannah terminal have reached full swing since their opening late last year
At that time the firm acquired the Savannah facility plus a barge terminal in Augusta a tug and an 18000 barrel capacity barge all of which were purchased from Swann Oil The company is a subsidiary of Koch Oil Company which is a part of Koch Industries one of the nations largest privately owned corporations
Koch is offering a number of services to the Savannah area They are marketing residual fuels to individual industrial accounts and reseller accounts They perform bunkering for oceangoing cargo carriers as well as offering fueling capability for smaller vessels such as tugs and shrimp boats at their terminal dock
Their tug and barge have been making the run to the Augusta terminal regularly The commodity being transported Is 6 oil a heavy black high viscosity oil used in several industrial applications The Augusta terminal can accommodate some 155000 barrels of 6 oil and 150000 barrels of 2 oil a low sulfur low maintenance industrial fuel utilized for standby purposes and for blending of intermediate grades
The 2 and 6 oil grades are combined in various proportions to produce 4 and 5 oil
Kochs decision to enter the Savannah market was based on several considerations according to Larry
D Schlecht local Sales Manager Our decision was based on the availability of terminals and our confidence in the Southeast as a good heavy fuel market he observed Koch officials are equally confident that their business base will continue to expand We feel this market will become increasingly stronger as industry continues to move into the Southeast Schlecht stated
Beyond simple cargo availability port selection by ocean carriers hinges on the availability of essential vessel services The importance of the addition of Koch Fuels to serve their needs cannot be overemphasized In addition their ability to provide essential fuels will certainly aid in the process of enticing industrial prospects and their cargo to the area This dual impact will enable Koch to become an integral part of the Savannah maritime scene in years to comen
Koch Fuels barge is loaded at their Savannah terminal as tug stands by for the trip to Augusta

GPA TONNAGE
ANOTHER RECORD YEAR
TONNAGE STATISTICS for fiscal 1980 evidence a continuation of Georgia Ports Authoritys record setting growth Total GPA activity for the year reached 5770599 tons compared to 4577861 tons for FT 7879 The 1192738 ton jump represented an increase of 26 percent
CONTAINERPORT volumes played an important role in the overall growth pattern Tonnages increased from 940504 last fiscal year to 1416676 this year for an improvement of 51 percent This years CONTAINERPORT growth rate actually outstripped 1979s phenomenal 47 percent figure
Dry bulk cargoes continued to fare very well Substantial increases in soybean and wheat volumes led the surge Soybean volumes more than doubled totalling out at just over 600000 tons Wheat rose from just 25599 tons to some 128347 to become a major component in GPAs dry bulk picture Overall dry bulks moved up from 747042 to 1129263 tons for an increase of 51 percent
General cargoes continued to occupy a starring role in GPAs overall situation with 1885527 tons This represented a small increase of just over 61000 tons Breakbulk volumes continue to remain high and steady proving that substantial increases in other modes particularly container have not come at the expense of breakbulks Commodities making strong showings during the year included iron and steel rosin clay synthetic staple fiber linerboard naval stores and woodpulp
GPAs rapidly expanding Brunswick Terminal experienced a banner year Tonnages were up 43258 from 1979s 147923 to 1980s 191178 for a growth rate of 29 percent Leading growth commodities for the terminal included woodpulp land plaster potash and sugar
These statistics again indicate the role Georgia Ports Authority has played in the development of
the Port of Savannah accounting for approximately 50 percent of the ports total volume GPA and the many private terminal operators and maritime service organizations have employed a pervasive team
spirit to mold Savannah into the foreign commerce leader among South Atlantic ports Figures such as those Georgia Ports compiled in FY 1980 are widening the gap even further
GPAs CONTAINERPORT and dry bulk facility led the surge to record tonnages during FY 1980

GARDEN CITY TERMINALS Dry Bulk Facility recently experienced a significant first with the export of
4000000 bushels of wheat to mainland China The movement marked the first bulk shipment from GPA to that nation
The specific commodity involved was soft red winter wheat It is primarily utilized in the production of cakes and cookies The shipment resulted from recently concluded negotiations between the China National Cereals Oils and Foodstuffs ImportExport Corporation and traders for Continental Grain which leases the grain portion of the facility from Georgia Ports The wheat was grown in Georgia 90 the Carolinas and Florida
A total of three vessels were required to handle the large shipment The Greek MV TOXOTIS and the Panamanian MVs ANDAMAN SEA and ROC SEA accomplished ocean transport Port of discharge and destination within China were to be determined during transit
The overall contract involved similar shipments through a num
4000000 bushels of wheat translates into approximately 3 shiploads give or take a cookie The MVs TOXOTIS above ANDAMAN SEA below and ROC SEA right carried the cargo in GPAs first bulk shipment to mainland China
ber of U S ports There are no firm agreements for future shipments but Continental officials are optimistic that continued positive relations between the two countries will result in additional purchases by the Chinese
The potential of China as a trading partner has been discussed at length Now that commerce has
been initiated we should soon be able to determine if the many optimistic projections may be realized Georgia Ports and Continental plan to have ready the knowhow and facilities to meet the rush

In its germinal stages the facility now employs a full time staff of four Gene Leonhardt Chairman of the Board for American Industrial indicates that plans call for steady staffing increases Well ultimately employ 50 people by midOctober and by March of 1981 the staff should grow to 125 he stated
Leonhardt describes the effort as a total systems warhousing program The site will be equipped with all of the necessary equipment to handle invoicing packaging slips and all other documentation and data in support of the shipments Because of the extensive square footage and marshalling capability at the location inventory will be maintained utilizing a computerized system The same computer will electronically prepare all of the attendant paperwork Leonhardt indicated that the overall intent was to provide timely movement of cargo for shippers
particularly of project and heavy cargoes We actually engineer the shipping phase to coincide with overseas construction schedules he added
Savannahs breakbulk handling capabilities and extensive steamship service make it a tempting location for export packers and warehouses American Industrials capital commitment coincides with GPAs acquisition of new handling equipment container facilities warehousing and open storage Its obvious that more than a few people share a common optimism in the future of the Port of Savannah Q

The
Executive
Corner
The panel topics for this years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference revolve around the central theme Shipping and Trade with the United States As we enter the 1980s the role of our country in the overall world trade picture is in a state of flux Economic and political forces are combining to produce unprecedented changes in the ways the nations of the world trade with one another
Continued US vitality within this framework of change will hinge on development and implementation of effective and cogent trade and legislative initiatives Business must pursue improvements in technology and manpower utilization to become more competitive Market share and recession proofing must be enhanced by nurturing of new and expanded export markets On the governmental side a single clear national policy on international trade and seaports is imperative
Panels for this years conference were structured to provide some insights into these critical areas The varied professional backgrounds of
the panelists suggest a wellrounded look at the issues will certainly be forthcoming David A Howard Editor of American Shipper will serve as moderator for this years activities His extensive contact with all segments of the transportation community make him particularly qualified to direct the panels in their discussions
Our Georgia Foreign Trade Conference committee has labored diligently to produce this years event This years panels are configured in such a way as to guarantee that the proceedings will be as spontaneous informative and spirited as they have been in the past The social calendar will provide an ideal counterbalance to the business side of the program Our best port ambassadors come from those who have participated in past conferences We are confident theyll have plenty of positive remarks when they leave this years event
Panelists participants guests welcome to the XIVth Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Enjoy

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL
GEORGIA FOREIGN TRADE CONFERENCE A PREVIEW
David A Howard Editor
American Shipper
Mr Howards remarks are excerpted from an article he prepared for the LTV Corporation
American agriculture and industry dominate world trade but its merchant marine is like a great ship without a rudder wallowing in a calm sea the master asleep in his cabin The crew has somehow managed to put out a sea anchor which keeps the great ship pointed into the breeze but no one has succeeded in repairing the rudder
There is no crisis so long as the breeze is light But storms are inevitable at sea and the great ship will someday go down in a storm or be dashed upon the rocks its cargoes of American agriculture and industry with it
Throughout the past four years all segments of the US maritime industry have participated in a selfexamination and debate in an effort to solve the industrys numerous problems Management labor government and shipper customers of the steamship industry agree on most of the facts The only elements of American maritime industry still functioning are 1 ships which are American
owned and financed but flying foreign flags 2 hightechnological ships such as LNG carriers which are out in front in their fields their costs covered by longterm supply and delivery contracts 3 ships operating in protected trades 4 nonsubsidized USflag container ships operating in such highvolume highrevenue trades as the North Atlantic and North Pacific and 5 firms sustained by federal subsidies
Significantly the Americanowned foreignflagged part of the American maritime industry is the strongest while that portion of the industry subsisting barely subsisting to be exact on a federal subsidy is the weakest
Everyone knows it and is embarrassed by it but when the House Merchant Marine Fisheries Committee tried to deal with the problem and drafted farreaching maritime reform legislation in the spring of 1980 a near mutiny broke out in the ranks of the sheltered industry No one was willing to jeopardize his own subsidy deal No member of the crew was willing to go over the side and fix the rudder
The real problem of course is in the cabin So long as the ships master is asleep nothing can or will be accomplished With such an indifferent attitude it is questionable whether he is capable of dealing with the task The master must have a sense of direction the ability to exercise command
If nothing were at stake but the private investment of maritime capital there would be little or no reason to be concerned about the American maritime industry Capital is mobile and will go where it finds a comfortable home Some investors will seek safety others will prefer to roll the dice It becomes a public issue for only two reasons defense and commercial needs
a Defense Needs There is general acceptance of the fact that
the United States must maintain a strong defense and shipyard capability
Constructiondifferentialsubsidy CDS payments are made by the Maritime Administration to Americanflag steamship lines as an indirect subsidy to shipyards to accomplish this But the Defense Department steadfastly refuses to spell out its needs clearly and specifically It seems to trust that it will somehow be covered by the Maritime Administration
2 Commercial Needs The entire American economy is built around confident access to raw materials and markets at reasonable costs A complex system of operatingdifferentialsubsidy ODS payments is made to steamship lines to assure these needs are met But top management of American agriculture and industry has never addressed the need and spelled it out what they need in bad times as well as the good years Traffic executives are aware of the problem but it is difficult for a stafflevel traffic manager to say Boss I can get this ocean freight cheaper from another source but I think we should support American ships we can count on when things get tough Its much easier to say Boss I saved you 10 percent on that shipment
Policy decisions should be made at the top But the maritime issue is seldom if ever raised at board level
The American maritime industry can and should operate successfully in a freemarket economy which this nation supports There is more than ample business American business to do it
Four actions are essential however
1 The Department of Defense must spell out Its need for shipyard capability and place that expense in the DOD budget
2 Managers of American industry and agriculture should iden
2
ANCHORAGE
tify their essential needs in ocean transportation to assure access to raw materials and markets
3 Congess should modify its tax and capital formation laws to the extent necessary to assure that national needs are met
4 American maritime labor must become competitive not by cutting wages but by changing work rules and manning requirements written into labor contracts
The business is out there The outlook for American maritime capital and Americanowned shipping is very bright Whether the business will be transacted under the American flag benefiting American industry and labor remains to be seen
Kazuaki Hoshina General Manager
SUMITOMO
CORPORATION
Sumitomo Corporation is one of only nine integrated trading companies in Japan These firms known as Sogo Shosha occupy an important position in Japans trade picture handling approximately one half of the countrys total imports and exports

ment Company is on scene in oil producing areas such as Indonesia Oman and Alaska Sumitomo coordinated the establishment of the Japan Deep Ocean Management Company which is engaged in a multinational joint venture involving prospecting extracting and refining of manganese nodules Sumitomos joint ventures include a spiral pipe mill in Saudi Arabia polyvinyl chloride facilities in Singapore a banana plantation in the Philippines and a timber project in Malaysia
By offering a broad spectrum of services in the areas of planning and financing Sumitomo plays a key role in the export and establishment of entire plant and industrial facilities Recent project shipments coordinated by the firm include a power plant for Bangladesh a shipyard in Malaysia and refinery facilities in Ecuador

James A Satterfield Manager International Exports
A thumbnail sketch of Hercules product lines provides some idea of the range of the firms operations The plastics division totaled 666 million from its sales of resin film fiber and plastic products The organics group is subdivided into three sections resins paper chemicals and elastomers and specialty chemicals Organics sales reached 508 million in 1979
The watersoluble products division saw its sales top 478 million last year Included among their products are water soluble polymers utilized to thicken and texturize everything from paint to ice cream The paint and printing ink industries are major customers for coatings PFW Inc is a subsidiary of this division which produces chemicals utilized in fragrances and nail polish Sales of water management chemicals used in the treatment of cooling and boiler water were up 20 percent
Sales of explosives aerospace and graphite fiber chemicals were brisk Explosives products are used in construction blasting weaponry and the energy industry for drilling and mining On the aerospace side the division is heavily involved in several rocketry programs including the MX Trident and Pershing The graphite fiber group produces synthetic structural materials for aircraft and automotive applications
Hercules produces a number of other products with applications in the recording products and graphic systems industries
Hercules capital expenditures for the year totalled 186 million the second highest level in company history Production capability increases commanded 60 percent of these monies New plant starts in Indiana Canada and Oxford Georgia accounted for most of the remainder 1980 capital expenditures should reach 220 million New plants in New York and West Germany will require heavy investment with continued expansion of existing facilities drawing heavily as well Five year Capital planning calls for total expenditures to the tune of 14 billion
In 1979 Hercules generated more than 50 percent of its net income from outside the United States through manufacturing operations and export sales Overseas sales accounted for 40 percent of the companys overall total With 296 million in export sales for 1979 Hercules is intimately involved with the day to day intricacies of all phases of the transportation industry Mr Satterfield holds direct responsibility for the international export area with his firm His remarks will reflect the concerns and needs of the export shipper most graphically

The MV Bellatrix recently inaugurated United Arabs container service to Savannah
ween 180 and 200 sailings per year and it is not uncommon for as many as 16 of the firms breakbulk ships to be discharging cargo in the Arabian Gulf on any given day
United Arab operates full container services in the same trades It owns four 1200 TEU cellular vessels and is taking delivery on three more in the 800 TEU capacity range In addition the company operates seven chartered container vessels of similar capacity
Savannah has benefitted from United Arabs fleet expansion UASC recently inaugurated scheduled full container service from Savannah to the Middle East Four vessels are engaged in the run with one of them calling Savannah every two weeks Overall United Arab sailing frequency including the existing breakbulk ser
vice is three vessels per month The company introduced the container service in response to increased demand for export capacity particularly from the foodstuff carpet and building and construction machinery industries
United Arab connects Savannah to an area of the world which is experiencing a latter day industrial revolution Project cargoes are being funnelled to the Middle East in large and growing volumes United Arab is heavily involved in both the breakbulk and containerized movement of these and other general cargoes Their carriers viewpoint on the current status and future of project movements should provide conference participants with a rounded perspective of this important cargo sector

Since Coronet joined the RCA family in 1971 as a wholly owned subsidiary it has seen a considerable expansion of its facilities It has acquired substantial carpet yarn spinning and heat setting capabilities at Calhoun and Gainesville Georgia To supplement its residential carpet production Coronet has acquired contract carpet manufacturing facilities also in Calhoun In addition to utilizing selfproduced carpet components Coronet continues to be a major purchaser of synthetic fiber yarn and backing material Included in the latter
category is the substantial amount of jute which is imported through the Port of Savannah from India and Bangladesh
In recent years Coronet has experienced solid growth in both its domestic and international markets Obviously their competitive posture is intrinsically related to the transportation cost structure Mr Barnes who is eminently qualified by experience and hands on contact with carriers conferences and regulatory agencies will provide some meaningful thoughts on rates as they impact the shipper
Burlap from Asia being unloaded at Savannahs Garden City Terminai is a major staple in Coronets production of high grade carpet

John R Arwood President
Trans Freight Lines burst onto the South Atlantic scene just over one year ago armed with a business formula that had proved eminently successful in the North Atlantic Essentially the plan involved entering the trades with a limited number of chartered vessels Later additional chartered ships were to be added as cargo volumes met initial projections Ultimately when the business had solidifed to a satisfactory degree company owned vessels would be purchased to replace the charters As of May of this year this program had been realized well ahead of the initially projected timetable
Not only has TFL replaced chartered with owned tonnage but the new vessels have increased fleet capacity by 35 percent The fortnightly service between Savannah and Northern Europe has become tremendously
popular among shippers Company officials indicate that their independent carrier status enables them to provide a cost structure that is highly competitive However they see service as the key ingredient Initially the company established a goal of demonstrating that service reliability for an independent was achievable TFLs successes in the North Atlantic impacted heavily on their ability to attract cargo when they entered the South Atlantic market They report that word of mouth advertising among corporate traffic officials has been one of their greatest assets in solidifying their new business
Trans Freight Lines has risen from its beginnings to its current status as a major carrier in a matter of a few years Meticulous planning aggressive marketing and a pervasive customer service orientation have keyed their successes Recent developments indicate that the immediate future will see this emerging giant continuing its rapid expansion
On September 5 TFL announced that it had reached agreement with Seatrain Lines Inc to purchase assets relating to the service of Seatrain International SA in the USNorth Europe trades Acquisition of this package will enable TFL to increase the number of ports called areas served and service frequency on their existing schedules As it relates to Savannah this will mean that the existing fortnightly service will be increased to weekly
Obviously TFL is not prepared to rest on its laurels The Seatrain acquisition marks a continuation of their efforts to expand their geographic coverage and improve overall service Company officials are convinced that their ability to compete successfully has depended heavily on the rate initiatives they have been able to pursue as an independent Mr Arwood is a highly sought after and engaging speaker whose remarks on shipping rates are certain to be direct and enlightening

Monsanto
Richard E Bailey International Traffic Manager
A few statistics quickly evidence the size and scope of the Monsanto Companys operations Chemicals plastics agricultural products manmade fibers and specialized electronic and processcontrol systems are produced by the firms six primary operating divisions Worldwide Monsanto employs 64000 personnel in 21 nations in both production and lab tech facilities These diversified activities generated sales of nearly 62 billion in 1979 and a net income of 331 million
The agricultural products group accounted for some 136 percent of total revenues This division produces herbicides and insecticides Monsanto Chemical Intermediates Company produces petrochemicals process chemicals and oil and gas and accounts for 138 percent of the firms total sales volume The chemical intermediates group markets detergents phosphates and plasticizers as well as a variety of
chemicals It is the largest division in terms of sales share at 245 percent The plastics and resins division fabricates goods and materials from those products with a sales percentage of 228 The textiles group manufactures man made fiber and accounts for another 173 percent of total sales The final 8 percent comes from the Fisher Controls division which produces valves regulators and electronic process control instrumentation
In their business report for the first half of 1980 Monsanto reports on several activities which should help to cement the firms overall vitality as it enters the new decade In a move to consolidate the companys position as the worlds leading producer of silicon slices for the electronics and semiconductor industry Monsanto is planning to increase production capacity at its Spartanburg South Carolina facility to 150 million square inches per annum The expansion will make this the largest electronicgrade silicon materials plant in the world and will result in additional employment totalling 350 jobs by the end of 1982
Monsanto has entered into leasing agreements outside the US which will provide several nations with the high technology to produce styrene monomer acetic acid and sulfuric acid The technology for styrene monomer and ethylbenezene which was recently leased to two Japanese firms is recognized for high yield low consumption and a quality product The monomer is utilized in the production of plastics synthetic rubber and reinforced polyester resin
Aggressive capital sales and marketing programs have been the essential ingredients in Monsantos growth from its founding in 1901 to its current status as a major international company Their plans for the near term future indicate the continuation of their confidence in their ability to retain and enlarge their market share The spread of their organization necessitates a keen interest on their part in the shape and direction of US shipping policy

GeorgiaPacific
Gilbert C Vernet Manager Marine Transportation
Modern chemical plant typifies GeorgiaPacifics facilities
From its founding in Georgia in 1927 GeorgiaPacific has mushroomed into a major multiproduct industrial giant employing over 43000 people Several years ago the firm relocated its corporate headquarters from the Pacific Northwest to Atlanta in order to be closer to its prime markets GP retains its historical interest in its birth state in the form of facilities and holdings at over 20 different locations
The Savannah area alone boasts three distinct GeorgiaPacific facilities The hardwood plywood plant manufactures decorative wall paneling and is one of only two such GP plants in the nation A hardwood sawmill has an annual output of 13 million board feet of lumber annually for use by the building industry The third facility is a chemical plant which annually turns out 63 million pounds of resin
The GeorgiaPacific product line is quite diverse Included are lumber plywood gypsum board particleboard hardboard furniture pulp paper labels corrugated containers tissue household and swimming pool chemicals industrial chemicals
and others It also maintains holdings of oil gas coal gypsum and timber and prides itself on its ability to manage this diverse package
1979 was an exceptional year for GeorgiaPacific The company expended some 297 million to expand its natural resource base with the majority invested in timber and timberlands At years end GP owned or held cutting rights to 52 million acres of domestic timberland plus another 17 million abroad The company initiated timber operations in Chile and expanded them in other locations Technological advances achieved during the year will permit construction of plants which utilize wood fiber more efficiently in the fabrication of waterboard and composite plywood Reforestation and genetic research continued to build timber supplies for the future while reserves of other raw materials were also solidified
Despite production capability of 44 billion square feet of plywood annually GP is not standing still Acquisition of additional resource properties is planned Expansion and equipment upgrading will take place at a number of existing
plants On the new facility side new plants are planned for North Carolina Florida Mississippi Ohio and El label le Georgia
The El label le facility will be a highspeed computerized state of the art pine sawmill It will be able to achieve maximum fiber utilization from every log Elaborate banks of saws a computer scanning system and flexible setworks will combine to insure an optimum cut on each log The mill will be unique in its ability to cut on command virtually any commercial size of dimension lumber from 1 by 4s thru 2 by 12s Green lumber will be mechanically sorted A boiler fired by tree bark and mill residues will generate steam for a bank of four dry kilns The plant and its 135 employees will be producing 75 million board feet of lumber annually
GeorgiaPacifics extensive capital outlay commitments bespeak a high level of corporate confidence Because the company engages in large international movements of finished goods and raw materials GP has an intrinsic interest in and some very definite opinions on the composition of US shipping policy

BOATS ABOARD SHIP
availability of safe reasonably priced open storage as a prime consideration Smith and Kelly are local agents for the line
Several of McCanns comments on the caliber of service in the Port of Savannah indicate that the company is pleased with their selection He was particularly pleased with the resolution of the problem
Chris Craft fast boats marshalled at new open storage area adjacent to slip 2 at Ocean Terminal
A shipment of 21 speedboats was recently shipped through GPAs Ocean Terminal The craft were destined for Trieste Italy consigned to Aerosystem Electronic AGMeteor SPA Aerospace Testing and Purchasing Inc of San Diego was the shipper
They are designated Meteor Excalibur Fast Boats an appropriate title in view of the fact that they possess a maximum speed capability of 60 mph The 38 foot 10000 pound boats were produced by Chris Craft
McGregor Swire Air Services Inc were forwarders for the movement Charles McCann Vice President of the firm indicated they are expanding their operations to encompass ocean freight also as evidenced by this movement McGregor Swire is a subsidiary of a British firm Ocean Transport and Trading
McCann indicated there were several reasons why Savannah was selected as the export point for the shipment The first was availability of appropriate steamship service in the form of Jugolinija Lines Their MV Senj was the carrier for the fast boats on the trip to the Mediterranean McCann indicated that this fit in with Jugolinijas overall strategy to develop more cargo through Savannah He also cited good
which arose when the boats arrived without having been mounted on trailers as had been expected He noted GPA mounted the boats onto the trailers at a very good price Savannah people in general seem to be concerned with getting the job done They actually took charge when difficulties arose and resolved the problems Weve been very happy with the attention weve received
McCann expressed confidence that the future may see more of this type of cargo moving through Savannah He feels that there is every reason to believe that more of these electronically controlled high performance boats can be sold around the Mediterranean outside Italy
McGregor Swires selection of the Port of Savannah highlights the critical role that steamship service availability has played in its overall development As shippers compare ports to determine the most expeditious routing for their cargo more often than not the obvious answer is Savannah When solid scheduling is combined with the type of service experienced by McGregor Swire the conclusion becomes even more obvious
Sleek fast boats are lifted aboard Jugolinija Lines MV Senj for transport to Trieste

INTERNATIONAL CARPET AND RUG MARKET
Atlanta recently hosted the first International Carpet and Rug Market The four day event attracted buyers from around the world to view what was described as the most comprehensive selection of US made carpet and rugs ever displayed
The market constituted a unified effort by manufacturers to inform the international business community of the diversity and quality of locally produced carpet A years worth of extensive preparation and publicity ultimately produced a show that was attended by 400 exhibitors and 1000 foreign and 5000 domestic buyers
Officials of the carpet industry are looking beyond floor sales in setting goals for the show They are aggressively attempting to improve exports as a percentage of total sales from 1979s 5 percent They are hoping the carpet market will result in the doubling of those levels within a year or two In addition it is hoped that the International Carpet and Rug Market will become the premier world show for the entire industry
Domestic buying trends and the weakness of the dollar overseas are the critical factors prompting US carpet manufacturers to afford increasing attentions to export sales While exports are nothing new for individual producers the IC RM represents their first major combined effort Armed with their certainty as to the superiority of the US product the industry has developed an effective mechanism to show it to the world Continuation and refinement of the International Carpet and Rug Market should produce increased export volumes that will guarantee the growth and vitality of Georgias carpet industry
Georgias maritime industry obviously has a vested interest in increased carpet exports Their concern was evidenced by their presence at the recent International Carpet and Rug Market Pictured are top Stevens Shipping center US Lines and Hosea International and bottom Georgia Ports Authority

LINERBOARD TO PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA
MV INDIAN PROSPERITY loads linerboard bound for the Peoples Republic of China
Large volumes of linerboard destined for the Peoples Republic of China have begun moving through Ocean Terminal in the Port of Savannah In a two month period three large shipments will have crossed G PA docks
Sinochart the PROCs governmental chartering arm is booking vessels to deliver the goods The cargo is being purchased from a number of different US producers The MV INDIAN PROSPERITY loaded some 4500 tons of Mead linerboard Some two weeks later the MV IMME OLDENDORFF loaded a similar size shipment composed of linerboard produced by Central National The final shipment aboard a vessel to be named shortly will total approximately 5500 tons with Union Camp providing the cargo Ports of destination include Hsikang Whampoa and Shanghai
Indications are that these shipments represent the beginning of a long term trend China is beginning to realize some of the trade potential which attended normalization of relations The Chinese have become increasingly prominent and aggressive buyers of US goods of all types and indications are that their involvement is only in its germinal stages Bill Taylor of Stevens Shipping agents for the line stated This business is coming on very strongly it appears The trend holds a lot of promise for the line of products we move through our port
The Port of Savannah as a whole shares Stevens confidence in the future of the China trades Recent bulk
shipments coupled with these linerboard movements would seem to indicate the confidence is wellfounded As
usual Savannah leads the way in the establishment of commerce with emerging world markets

COAL
A SAVANNAH EXPORT PROSPECTUS
With current projections pointing toward sizable increases in US export coal volumes in the near future much attention has been focused on modification and construction of facilities to handle the surge Congestion at existing facilities dictates that additional development will be essential if the US is to participate fully in the expanding coal market
Savannah will become a major participant in the boom with the construction of an export terminal on nearby Hutchinson Island according to a joint announcement
by Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Harbert Construction Company of Birmingham Alabama and Elk River Resources Inc of Knoxville Tennessee The 50 to 60 million facility will be operated as Savannah Coal Terminal Inc SCTI which is jointly owned by Harbert and Elk River Both companies are major coal producers and own mines on the Louisville and Nashville Railroad a Family Lines carrier Scheduled to begin operations in 1983 it will ultimately process 12 to 15 million tons of coal annually Tonnage handled across
the SCTI dock will propel Savannah into the top ten rankings for US ports
Seaboard Coast Line is the owner of the 250 acre site on which the terminal will be constructed SCL President A Paul Funkhouser summarized the reasoning behind construction stating This represents a major expansion in Americas coal exporting capacity and will help to meet the huge projected demands for US lowsulphur steam coal in Western Europe and Japan Development of the terminal will enable Family

ANCHORAGE
Lines users to expand their operations into worldwide markets Previously their outlets were confined predominantly to electric utility and industrial customers in the Southeast Midwest and Gulf Coast areas The terminal will handle shipments from Harbert and an Elk River subsidiary Shamrock Coal as well as shipments by other exporters on the LN and Clinchfield Railroads In the past the LN and Clinchfield both SCL subsidiaries have been involved primarily in domestic coal movements only
Savannahs selection was the result of an extensive comparison of ports and sites Port characteristics receiving careful consideration included channel depth and width width and length of turning basins berthing and construction restraints and pilotage distance A 38 foot ex
isting channel was deemed necessary to immediately accommodate vessels in the 4000050000 dwt range Potential for future deepening was also a key consideration
Other criteria included development potential and inland transportation economics In that regard Family Lines will be providing singleline rail service from the mines to the facility and will publish attendant singleline export coal rates The recent announcement of the SCLChessie System merger will further enhance rail coverage for export coal by providing access to more mine areas and more direct routes between producing areas and Savannah In addition overall equipment availability will improve with the announcement that the lines will be utilizing Chessies Raceland car shops to build 5000 hopper
cars to meet the anticipated increase in demand Previously SCL had no inhouse car construction capability
The SCTI facility will be equipped with a large loop track to receive 75 car unit trains from the Appalachian coal fields on a daily basis The track configuration will permit cars to discharge on a continuous basis The pier will initially be equipped with one loading berth and one lay berth Plans call for adding loading capability to the lay berth at a later date The marshalling area will have a one million ton capacity and will be served by a stackerreclaimer system for storage and retrieval A transloader and conveyor network will permit rapid unloading of hopper cars and transfer of coal to vessels Equipment configuration will permit shipside blending of different product grades
THE GLOBAL OUTLOOK
The recently published World Coal Study WOCOL offered some astounding statistics in analyzing coal utilization in the future The study concludes that worldwide coal use in twenty years will be 10 to 15 times what it is today Member nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development which includes Europe and Japan will be major contributors to the surge The inability of their domestic production to meet their needs will necessitate tremendous increases in the amount of coal moving in international trade WOCOL predicts that combined steam coal imports for these countries will rise from 1977s 54 million short tons to over 600 million by the year 2000 Obviously requirements of other users will push the total even higher
The US stands in a unique position to derive tremendous benefits from this trend in terms of sales employment and leveling of the balance of payments Carl E Bagge President of the National Coal Association outlined this
countrys competitive advantages during recent remarks to the American Association of Port Authorities He observed We have comparative advantage over
many other coal producing countries because of
A coal reserve base large enough to support substantial increases in domestic

coal use and exports without substantially affecting the price of coal Latest government figures place total reserves at 17 trillion tons and proven reserves at 435 billion tons
An established highly competitive coal industry large enough to assure the continued availability of coal for longterm large quantity requirements
A potential for relative price stability depending upon government policies
Long term national political stability
In additon the US has substantial excess production capability and could provide another 100 million tons per year if there were a demand for it No other nation even those with comparable reserves can point to this combination of advantages
Bagge estimates US potential exports for the year 2000 at 400 million short tons or more He sees a rise to 8590 million tons by 1985 and 120150 million tons by 1990 He is quick to repudiate skepticism in some quarters based upon the historical cyclical nature of export levels Bagge points out that past tonnages were largely comprised of metallurgical coal utilized in steel production while projected increases will come primarily from steam coal
A number of factors have led US industry officials to their optimistic projections Included are sharp increases in oil prices setbacks in the nuclear power industry and long term security of supply Given current oil reserves and world petrochemical production capability the World Coal Study concludes that from one half to two thirds of the worlds incremental energy production in the next two decades will have to come from coal Beyond that US coal reserves are sufficient for at least the next 500 years Obviously coal looms as a major short and medium term solution to world energy needs WOCOL characterizes coal as the energy bridge which will carry the world through the development period for new
technologies and alternate resources during the next 100 years
US coal interests are quick to point out that US success in these emerging markets will not be automatic There are a number of potential constraints which must be effectively dealt with to assure maximum participation
Port congestion remains a major obstacle Bagge summarizes both the problem and its effect stating We dont have the port facilities now and this is deterring long term contracts We could have sold a minimum of another
15000000 tons this year if the system would handle it Since the beginning of the year waiting times for coal vessels have risen
Interview with Carl Bagge President of National Coal Association produced some timely insights as to the future of US coal exports
sharply Where 49 day waits were once the maximum ships are now waiting 30 days and more Demurrage charges for these sizable delays are adding from 710 per ton to the delivered cost of US coal Obviously such add on charges can quickly make the US manufacturer uncompetitive forcing buyers to other sources to meet their needs The Coal Exporters Association Report on Coal Export Port Capacity and Port Congestion concludes This is a short term crisis which will have a long term effect on US participation in a growing foreign market We have been told by many potential customers that unless port capacity is sharply increased and modernized dumping and handling efficiencies increased to eliminate wait time and channels
dredged to handle larger vessels coal business will go to Canada South Africa Australia and other competing countries
A number of near term solutions are being applied to alleviate the problem Existing facilities are being converted modified or reactivated to provide additional dockage and storage Dockside handling techniques are being streamlined Lay berthing is being utilized to reduce vessel turnaround time Shipboard crews are being encouraged to have ships totally prepared to begin accepting coal as soon after berthing as possible Overseas customers have been asked to minimize grading and blending requirements to reduce required dockside handling
Longer term solutions involve extensive provision of new facilities to handle anticipated increases in export volumes New terminals are under construction or proposed in Newport News Baltimore 2 Philadelphia Morehead City Camden Mobile New Orleans Norfolk and of course Savannah Some of these will be available as soon as the end of the next year West Coast development has not progressed as quickly and plans are not yet firm However there are several proposals for location of the first dedicated coal port
As mentioned earlier ports must possess certain physical characteristics if they are to become fully involved in the coal trades Specifically channel depth and width as well as turning basin dimensions must be sufficient to accommodate the large bulk coal carriers
Coal transport economics dictate a trend to much larger vessels It is estimated that by 1985 30 percent of all coal will move in vessels of 100000 dwt or larger By the end of the century the average coal carrier will weigh in at 150000 dwt Minimum channel depth of 55 feet will be required to handle the latter Channel widths must be sufficient to permit safe transit of twoway vessel traffic Very few US ports currently meet these requirements

ANCHORAGE
Roadblocks to provision of adequate channels and basins include funding availability of spoil sites and environmental concerns While these tend to slow the process history has shown they can be overcome Perhaps the greatest hindrance to timely harbor development is the permitting process Bagge observes The mechanics by which we go through authorization and appropriation is cumbersome and hurts our competitiveness The time frame from identification of need through study and authorization to completion is often a matter of ten to fifteen years or even longer
Coal interests express optimism that as trade potentials increase pressure for expediting the permit process will result in meaningful revision of the procedures surrounding it There are already several promising proposals for compressing the process and prompt passage is high on the list of the industrys priorities
The announcement of the construction of the SCTI facility signals Savannahs early entry into the coal business The existing configuration of the harbor will permit handling of the 5065000 dwt vessels which will be providing ocean transport Coal Institute President Bagge indicates that there will be a continuing utilization of vessels in this size range despite the trend towards larger carriers This is due to the fact that many of the user nations are strapped with the same harbor limitations as the US
Nevertheless full participation by the Port of Savannah will require channel deepening The percentage of smaller bulk coal vessels will continue to drop and no terminal can afford to operate in a harbor whose physical characteristics progressively exclude more and more vessels Not only will this dilute the attraction of existing facilities but it also will discourage potential terminal investment This limitation extends
to other bulk cargoes both liquid and dry and the container mode as well
The ingredients have all come together at the appropriate time for the Port of Savannah A combination of land availability harbor characteristics strategic location and inland transportation availability have resulted in Savannah Coal Terminals announcement For the future the harbor possesses the potential for deepening and widening and a concerted effort is already underway to justify and set in motion these projects Rail access to the coal hinterland will be greatly enhanced by the SCLChessie merger and the impending union of the Southern and Norfolk and Western Railroads Elimination of combination rates will enable coal producers to become even more export competitive through the Port of Savannah SCTI and the Port of Savannah all and all it sounds like the beginning of a beautiful relationship

A recent movement of wood pulp constituted the first movement of export cargo from GPAs Brunswick Terminal to mainland China The 3200 ton shipment was destined for the Chinese port of Shanghai The Mead wood pulp was produced locally at Brunswick Pulp and Paper
The recent past has seen several instances of wood pulp movements between Georgias ports and mainland China As the Chinese enter the mainstream of international trade it appears there will be a consistent demand for several commodities which are well known to the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick With this Brunswick shipment both ports have now handled sizable forest product movements to that country Savannahs multiproduct dry bulk terminal recently handled large volumes of wheat destined for mainland China As major potential buyers of forest products and agricultural bulks the Chinese promise to become regular customers for Brunswick and Savannah
Mead officials indicate that this is a trial movement and expressed optimism that more will follow In addition there appears to be potential for large linerboard purchases by the Chinese some of which would likely move through Brunswick
The Greek MV SAN JOHN accomplished ocean transport for the shipment Stevens Shipping were local agents in Brunswick
As new customers for US goods emerge they are turning to the Port of Brunswick as their transportation alternative with increasing frequency A combination of strategic location excellent facilities comprehensive transportation availability and a reputation for expediency are prompting more and more shippers to specify Brunswick in their shipping plans

BRUNSWICK BULK WAREHOUSE II ON SCHEDULE
The development of GPA bulk handling facilities at Brunswick is continuing on schedule with the construction of a second bulk warehouse At 60000 square feet the new facility will be slightly larger than its sister facility which encompases some 50000 square feet Warehouse II is divided into two storage bins with a combined capacity of approximately 35000 tons Completion is expected in March of next year
The combined complex will offer 110000 square feet of protected storage for nearly 60000 tons of cargo A total of eight bins are provided for ready segregation by commodity or grade The import conveyor system carries bulk cargoes at rates up to 500 tons per
hour to either facility Ample truck and rail access is provided to each
Handling capability will be greatly enhanced with the pending addition of 22 million unloader in the near future Addition of this piece of eqipment will enhance GPAs ability to feed the conveyor system at or near capacity Further in the future the complex will be expanded with the construction of more warehousing At nearby Colonels Island a major multiproduct bulk facility will be developed beginning next year
Trade projections point to long range increases in bulk volumes moving between the US and the rest of the world Georgia Ports planning and development efforts are putting facilities in place in a timely fashion to meet the surge
Aerial view shows Brunswick bulk warehouse II nearing completion It will be in operation early in 1981

In discussing the historical shunning of the export markets by small to medium sized US businesses Doyle cited several causal factors He indicated that in the past domestic markets had created more than adequate demand for their goods In addition foreign organizations had recognized export potentials early and obtained a head start in their overseas operations Governmental considerations such as trade barriers currency difficulties and foreign government subsidies have also worked against the US businessman Finally Doyle indicated that many small concerns found the heavy upfront cost of exporting prohibitive
Doyle characterized trading companies as proposed in the pending Export Trade Association Act as a possible source of relief for such businesses interested in engaging in exports He described
the act as a bill which purports to remove roadblocks to pooled export activities He stated that the bill was designed to
a enable small companies to band together for purposes of exporting
b get major banks involved in the export process and c to enable large established exporters to provide expertise to potential small exporters He indicated its overall purpose was to increase exports and help US business and the transportation industry in particular
Kazuaki Hoshinas remarks dealt with the nature of the Japanese trading company He exhibited the diversity which he called the key to Sumitomos vitality by listing some of the various commodities and activities in which they deal including rolled steel machinery transportation equipment electronics industrial machinery heavy and chemical
machinery energy raw materials etc He reported that the major Japanese integrated trading companies handled 47 of all Japanese exports and 55 of all imports in 1977 Focusing on the Port of Savannah he indicated that 40 of all of its container cargo to and from the Orient is handled by the Japanese trading companies
In discussing the delicate balance in international trade Hoshina observed It is important to remember that exports are not a one way street He stressed the importance of international cooperation in the promotion of a mutually beneficial world trade atmosphere He indicated that US trading companies or those of any nation could only be successful if technological exchange and economic cooperation were the rule in world trade

James Mack detailed the problems which are holding in abeyance the proposed legislation in the House of Representatives It appears that one major source of difficulty is the number of different committees who have jurisdiction over different parts of the export arena He observed that the Judiciary Committee has expressed concern over the granting of additional antitrust exemptions and will not recommend the legislation for passage until these have been resolved to its satisfaction Mack stated that the Banking Committee of the House had expressed concern about injecting banks into commercial endeavors He called
for retention of this section of the legislation indicating that refusal to permit bank involvement would reduce the legislation to a half way measure
As far as a timetable for passage Mack indicated Its possible that the legislation could come to fruition before the end of the year A more realistic outlook he indicated would be in the next legislative session or beyond
Mack urged members of the transportation community to appraise legislators of the importance of the pending bill He further urged conference participants to impress upon their legislators the changing nature of the interna
tional trade picture He stated The attitude that has to change is the notion that we can conduct export activity only with those nations of whose systems we approved
Questions and answers for the first panel centered around two areas First Doyle indicated that the tax deferral privileges would be extended to export trade association income The second area of concern dealt with service industries Doyle stated that these would be covered by the proposed legislation with the exception of certain patent and knowhow type areas

First it has dropped from first place to eighth in terms of international ranking Also in 1950 55 percent of all trade to and from the US was handled by US flag carriers Today the figure is 5 percent Adley indicated that a lack of concern was a critical problem in resolution of the situation He pointed to the recent bailing out of the automobile industry and
cited a lack of similar concern as directed toward the maritime sector He predicted that the weakening of the US Merchant Marine would result in a loss of economic and trade leverage as well as a drop in overall sea power
Despite all the recent rumblings and maneuverings on the legislative front as regards the merchant marine Adley sees no

progress in this area He indicated that nothing has been done toward establishing a strong national maritime policy On the positive side he feels that the general awareness of the nature of the problems is increasing He feels this will ultimately generate support for appropriate legislation and provide the drive to see it through to fruition
Richard Bailey discussed the impact of US shipping policy on the ability of todays transportation official to perform his job He characterized that job as keeping his marketing people competitive from a transportation point of view He cited increased difficulty for US manufacturers in competing in unbridled foreign competition and called for independent action to enhance that competitiveness Rather than espousing particular transportation options he called for retention of a variety of transportation alternatives be they conference or nonconference deepwater or minibridge Canadian gateways or any other
The US Merchant Marine must meet the test of the market place
Bailey addressed the issue of wasteful transportation practices citing several problem areas from Monsantos point of view He called for an elimination of the minibridge in favor of the microbridge concept He espoused establishment of neutral container pools but cited lack of equipment standardization as a stumbling block He called for formation of a liner organization similar to the National Association of Railroads to permit standardization and container pooling in the water transportation segment of the industry Finally Bailey called for steps to eliminate the high volume of empty container moves the cost of which are ultimately borne by the shipper
Peter Finnerty discussed the emergence of Maritime Nationalism in the international marketplace He described this as the trend which has emerged in national shipping policy among foreign trading countries He indicated that other countries are well ahead of us in implementing progressive maritime shipping policy changes Finnerty did not feel that the US Government had responded legislatively to these foreign initiatives As a particular example of this slow reaction time he pointed to the US Governments failure to correctly evaluate the implications of UNCTAD and its prospective impact on US flag carriers
Finnerty indicated that not all US flag carriers problems are governmental in origin He felt that the time had come for self analysis with an eye toward improving operating efficiency and developing a unified carrier front for support of needed legislation He expressed confidence that the next Congress would produce extensive maritime reform and cited the Senate passed the Ocean Shipping Act of 1980 as the best bet for a significant first step
Gilbert Vernet summarized the bread and butter issue facing US flag carriers and the shippers who utilize them He stated The US Merchant Marine must meet the test of the marketplace He indicated that suitable omnibus type legislation would be required before US shippers would be able to compete effectively He indicated that such action would be critical if we were to reverse the trend which had resulted in the rest of the world maritime community continuing to forge ahead putting more mileage and profits between them and us
Based on his extensive experience with them in Europe Vernet called for the establishment of Shippers Councils in the US He observed There is a need for a strong unified voice to speak for the American shippers He indicated that the Shippers Councils could lend direction to all aspects of maritime policy from needed legislation to rate structuring and even to vessel design for the US Merchant Marine

PANEL THREESHIPPING RATES
Panel 3 Shipping Rates L to R Hoogewerff Satterfield Howard Arwood Barnes
James Satterfield of Hercules expressed two positions which were somewhat unusual for shippers Hercules does not approve of independent action within conferences he indicated He stated they were afraid that this would cause cutthroat internal competition service reductions backruptcies and ultimately the eventual demise of the conference system He indicated that there were other options open to conference car
riers as far as improving competitiveness He called for better vessel utilization as an economy measure and criticized conference carriers for employing reactive rather than progressive rate tactics As an example he cited the case of a conference carrier refusing a rate and then reversing itself and trying to obtain the business after the shipper had received an acceptable rate quotation from an independent

Satterfield also outlined his companys opposition to Shippers Councils He cited four areas of concern which lay at the foundation of their position 1 The possibility of increased government intervention 2 Extensive additional costs 3 Larger companies calling all the shots and 4 Limited agreement on major issues He summarized Hercules position observing We want no one to negotiate what is acceptable to us
J F Barnes Sr stressed the need for carriers to be marketing type as opposed to production type companies He indicated that conference lines tend to be production type companies which create a service and say buy it at our price On the other hand nonconference carriers tend to be marketing type firms which go to potential users determine problems and needs and design the service accordingly He used this comparison to question the responsiveness of conference carriers He echoed Satterfields sentiments citing a similar example wherein a conference carrier first refused to publish a special rate but then produces one upon learning that a nonconference carrier has done so
Barnes discussed the role of shippers in pressuring carriers of ail modes into providing appropriate service He indicated that if transportation companies were not marketing type firms who could see and meet a need at a

profit then it was incumbent upon shippers to group together to lead them in a proper direction He reemphasized this point stating No business has the inherent right to exist If a business is not seen as responding to the needs of the public it purports to serve the public will either not allow the business to continue or it will demand that constraints be put on it in the forms and laws and regulations He left the choice as to providing responsive service or accepting government regulations to the carriers
John Arwood expressed the nonconference point of view He pointed to what he sees as one of the weaknesses of conferences stating Conferences make decisions based on an average consistent with protecting the interests of the weakest member of their group He further indicated Getting to a rate with an independent carrier is perhaps easier Rate studies are simpler because only one line is involved He agreed with J F Barnes Sr that an in
dependent line tends to a marketing oriented organization
He addressed several specific issues in the area of shipping rates First he called for overall tariff simplification to ease the burden of the shipper He spoke against FAK rates indicating that rates by commodity were necessary to keep ocean transport feasible He indicated that if FAK rates were adopted that it would be economically impossible to move low value commodities He joined with James Satterfield in opposing independent action characterizing it as a potential disaster He predicted that its adoption would result in a furious westbound rate war in the North Atlantic which when completed would inflict a geometric punishment upon the shipper
Marius Hoogewerff cited some very specific problems and recommendations as far as tariff structure He stated that the root of the problem lay in the fact that steamship people instead of shippers are
writing the tariffs He indicated that they have become so complex that even different people within the same carrier rate department interpret them in different ways He stated that existing tariffs are not only a burden as far as the movement of established cargoes but that lingering paper rates have become so outmoded that they stand in the way of the trades they cover ever being revitalized
He indicated that the revision of the existing tariffs was inevitable saying We have come to a point where this Herculean job must be done sooner or later He felt that most tariffs needed to be built up again from scratch He called upon tariff writers to sit down with manufacturers producing those goods moving in international trade to determine which ones could be equitably grouped for purposes of simplicity To highlight his point he offered a visual presentation of the reduction of an existing six pages of tariff to a single page simplified format

Kenneth Porter observed that the containerization spiral has not had the effect on trade with developing countries that it has had in the industrialized world He indicated that the developing areas still have need for the industrial and technological expertise to expedite their mechanization He noted that the Middle East has unique purchasing power for a developing area and as such has
generated a high demand for conventional tonnage for project movement
He characterized the reaction of the water transportation industry stating Ship technology has adapted to meet the peculiar handling needs of project shippers He stated that United Arabs philosophy involved utilization of shore or floating lift facilities as opposed to accepting the extreme

high costs of installing shipboard heavy lift gear On the subject of rates and service Porter addressed several issues First he stressed the importance of the shipper letting the carrier know when time is exceptionally critical He indicated his companys service orientation would result in their refusing cargo rather than delivering it late because of a scheduling problem He felt that early consultation on types quantities and origins of goods helps to facilitate optimum delivery On the subject of rates he indicated that trade with the Middle East is virtually one way oil in one direction and project cargoes in the other Since no one has developed a combination vessel which will interchange these types of cargo one way rates tend to compensate for the total round trip cost
Erwin R Goodgame detailed his companys transportation strategies as they apply to their international construction business Because very few customers in this day and age will award contracts containing an escalation clause for transportation costs CBI is faced with the problem of providing accurate freight estimates during the prebid stage Because of the pricing vagaries of todays marketplace this becomes an extremely difficult task To assure its proper execution CBI follows a very careful strategy Goodgame indicated factors which are taken into consideration are
I Scope of work customer final owner country port and financing
II Types of materials involved quantities sources availability when required and delivery location
III Other information including shipment plans of other contractors origins and timing
IV Digesting information including charter feasibility quotation review payment method waiver requirements steamship service availability
V Detailed pricing Obtaining appropriate quotations from charter nonconference and conference carriers
VI Transportation plans including shipping decision charter agreements establishment of project rates rate finalization with carriers preparation of purchase orders and evaluation of marshalling areas
VII Executive Followup with suppliers and carriers evaluation of first shipment planned review and revision as needed
Goodgame indicated that these steps if followed meticulously provide a scientific basis for effective costing and competition in the international construction marketplace
Robert Wood summarized the expectations of the shipper very succinctly Were interested in getting the cargo from point A to point B in the most economical and expeditious manner He indicated that this relatively simple sounding task became more complex as the complexity of the project involved increased As an example he indicated that supporting a job in some foreign countries goes beyond provision of construction supplies In addition it may involve feeding housing entertaining and educating the employees and their dependents
actual choice is based upon the track records and references of the companies
Wood discussed the peculiar packing requirements of the project shipper He indicated that costs of freight forwarding and export packing services tended to run about the same He observed that actual choice is based upon the track records and references of the companies
Wood indicated that MorrisonKnudsen was committed to try to ship American flag whenever feasible However with transportation costs assuming an ever increasing share of the total project bill patriotic decisions such as these were becoming more and more difficult
Orvil Metheny defined project shipments stating A project is a nonrepetitive movement moving on volume ocean rates He further indicated that because project shipments are not repeat cargo that carrier and port responsiveness tends to diminish He discussed the transportation constraints which confront project shippers indicating that very often they were required to use the national flag line of the country where the project was being constructed Often they are limited to self sustaining ships because the lifts exceed the incountry capability
Metheny outlined a list of port selection criteria First he characterized inland carrier services an all important first consideration Also Bechtel looks for foreign freight forwarding capabilities specifically in the areas of knowledge of the country involved and overall international experience A third and obvious consideration was the availability of appropriate steamship service Finally he indicated that port authority capabilities and customer service orientation were a key ingredient In discussing the Port of Savannah he indicated I am tremendously impressed with GPA development over the last few years particularly with the number of export packers
Metheny also reiterated a point touched upon by several of the other speakers regarding taxation of expatriate employees He stated that this form of taxation would serve to discourage involvement in US businesses in overseas projects and had the effect of forcing project costs up for American firms who did venture abroad He felt that this was a serious obstacle to competitiveness by US firms on an international scale and called for prompt legislative remedies

best thing that could be said about the contingent of tennis players abilities was that their clothes all matched
The more athletic types opted for the extreme exertion of the interisland cruise Included among the activities were prolonged sitting walking to the food line lip flapping and neck craning To help ease the extreme physical burden a jazz combo soothed the athletes with strains of relaxing music
The final nights activities kicked off with the shoreside oyster roast A small pile of oysters the size of the Catskills was devoured within an hour Eager eaters displayed a variety of opening techniques including the hingepop crackwedge and direct overhead blast Most commonly observed however was the Honey please open one for me technique All the while bluegrass music had oysters and eaters alike jiggling in time
After the reception party goers stepped directly from the oyster roast into the 1950s Vintage cars bobby socksers and even the Fonz himself greeted diners and dancers at the poolside buffet and sock hop Some eight tables of food were completely devoured including one sterling silver serving tray and two table cloths
Immediately following everyone was given the chance to dance off three days of excess calories as the band played a selection of hits from the fifties and sixties The wee hours proved no obstacle as the dancing continued well into the evening The festivities highlighted the comradery and personal participation that had been the key ingredients of a highly successful conference
The growth of the conference in terms of scope and participation bespeaks the prestige which it enjoys among the world transportation and manufacturing communities With each year participation becomes more diverse in the terms of organizations represented types of businesses and home bases The Fourteenth Georgia Foreign Trade Conference continued the excellent tradition which has been established by its predecessors and which will be continued by its successors

The success of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference has been rooted in the ability of its organizers to develop and execute a highly complex series of plans Past conferences are analyzed for pluses and minuses and ensuing ones are redesigned accordingly
Early planning has always been a key success factor with the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Organizational meetings have already begun for next years conference which will be held October 1315 again at the Sheraton Savannah Inn and Country Club In the near future a central theme will be selected and solicitation of panellists will begin In addition the social committees will begin their complex endeavors
The Port of Savannah wishes to express its gratitude to its guests for their participation and to pass along the hope that they will make our conference a regular part of their annual scheduling Participants report that the panels and business discussions in which they engaged provide them with timely insights to assist them in the daily conduct of their business They welcome the opportunity to reestablish old acquaintances and make new ones And most of all they appreciate the opportunity to see the type of commitment that has been so instrumental in all of the successes that the Port of Savannah has achieved We feel that our conference reflects our port community accurately The simultaneous growth of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference and the Port of Savannah as a whole is no accident Why not join us next year and see what it is all about

United ArabMaiden Voyage
One of the vessels engaged in United Arab Shippings direct SavannahMiddle East service
recently called Savannah on its maiden voyage The MV AL RUMAITHIAH above is a newly
built full containership boasting a capacity of 800 TEUs It operates at a cruising speed of 17 knots

The National Defense Transportation Association conducted its 35th Annual Transportation and Logistics Forum and Exposition in Chicago Panels of industry and government leaders examined a variety of transportation related issues revolving around the central theme Transportation Key to National Survival
Since its founding in 1944 the NDTA has served as a major channel of cooperation and communication between transportation and government officials Generally speaking its objectives are the promulgation and support of the need for effective transportation systems particularly as they apply to national defense preparedness and development of contingency plans designed to assure swift governmentindustry interface in emergency situations
Among those serving on conference panels was GPA Executive Director George Nichols He addressed the issue of
Mobilizations Impact on Sealift and Ocean Terminals He conveyed his optimism for an economic turnaround which would result in expansion and modernization of port facilities He cited several problem areas which must be dealt with if the US is in fact to improve its share of mushrooming world trade He called for development of a cohesive national seaport policy which recognizes the economic and national defense importance of our countrys ports He cautioned that failure to streamline regulations governing harbor maintenance and improvements could have disastrous implications for both areas
Nichols described the growth of public port facilities as good news in terms of mobilization potentials He indicated that public ownership tends to facilitate control of facilities He observed Large multiberthing terminal complexes located in all six coastal regions of
the United States with existing security mechanisms well established and functioning can be converted to defense needs in a short period of time He cited recent exercises in the Port of Savannah as prime examples of how port management is eminently capable of providing appropriate assistance to the military in the event of mobilization
Nichols distinguished copanelists included Douglas B Blackburn Chairman of the Board Ford Bacon and Davis Inc Moderator Walter J Amoss President Lykes Brothers Steamship Company Inc Brig Gen Richard T Drury USAF Vice Commander Military Traffic Management Command RADM Bruce Keener III USN Commander Military Sealift Command and Russell F Stryker Assistant Administrator for Policy and Administration Maritime Administration US Department of Commerce
