We are utilizing this issue to detail our long range plans concerning the development of CONTAINERPORT at our Garden City Terminal This strategy is a segment of a comprehensive plan which calls for consolidation of handling capabilities by mode at our various terminals Ultimately CONTAINERPORT will encompass most of Garden City Terminal At Ocean Terminal slip one will be filled and a two berth complex with 200 foot margins and an 800000 square foot transit shed will be emplaced Construction of warehousing land acquisition and other improvements will be timed to compensate for breakbulk facilities rededicated for container uses at Garden City Terminal
Plans call for construction of a major bulk facility on Colonels Island in Brunswick Bulk sales emphasis is being placed on that port as indicators point to its emergence as the terminus of the so called midwest grain corridor Our intent with ail of this is to provide the degree of modal concentration that will produce handling and transportation economies for shippers and carriers alike
These steps are designed to perpetuate our growth cycle Beyond the GPA premises major coal and petrochemical facilities will be on stream by middecade All of these add up to cargo volumes and river traffic at levels beyond even the most optimistic predictions of the seventies
Our plans and those of the private sector rely heavily on the provision of properly configured harbors Increased vessel activity mandates channel widths conducive to fluent twoway traffic Transport economics are dictating increases in the drafts of ships which will be calling Bridge engineering from years past did not allow for the towering container and RoRo vessels coming out of the shipyards in the future
The worldwide maldistribution of raw materials agriproducts and manufacturing capability makes growth in international trade inevitable For the US to participate fully elimination of any obstacles must begin immediately The maritime sector should take every opportunity to cost justify needed harbor improvements to government and the public The permitting process must be streamlined
If the stimulus to replace a bridge is the arrival of the 50th vessel which cannot traverse it any action will come too late Analysis shows that harbor limitations will have a progressive limiting effect on future vessel movements It is incumbent upon us to act now to provide the harbors that will maximize our ability to grow and prosper Redirection of our national priorities must follow the impending budget cuts forecast for 1981 if balancing the federal budget is to be meaningful and worthwhile

OOCL Korea Shipping
Orient Overseas Container Line and Korea Shipping Corporation have combined their considerable resources to introduce a major new Far Eastern steamship service to Savannah The full container operation will utilize six OOCL and three Korea Shipping vessels The firms are providing the service under a space chartering agreement whereby each is allotted space aboard the others vessel for each voyage
By combining to produce an aggregate fleet of nine vessels the lines will be able to provide a service frequency of every eight days Four Far Eastern ports are called on the itinerary with the rotation being Kaohsiung Hong Kong
Kobe and Yokohama Feeders are also available to Keelung Manila Bangkok Singapore and Busan
The high frequency of the new service is not the only important feature In addition Savannah will be the first US port of call This means that inbound cargoes are guaranteed absolute minimum transit times Company officials placed the length of the YokohamaSavannah voyage at 22 days
Savannah is already established as the leading microbridge port on the South Atlantic There are a number of reasons for this trend including strategic location excellent inland transportation struc
tures on site switching by a selfowned and operated railroad and traditionally fine service OOCL and Korea Shipping are offering their version the reverse microbridge Under this program import cargoes can be discharged at Savannah for inland transportation to a number of key southern cities On the Far Eastern end the reverse microbridge is offered from Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as Japan and Korea
Both lines back their new service with a wealth of experience dating back over 20 years Equipment and administrative systems are streamlined and modern Documentation and equipment control is fully computerized
The bold face print tells the story The new face on the Savannah scene is OOCL in the form of the MV ORIENTAL LEADER

To mark the initiation of the new itinerary OOCL sponsored two receptions one each in Atlanta and Savannah They were designed to inform shippers and maritime interests of the availability of and specifics about the service Attendance provided ample evidence that demand will certainly justify the decision to call Savannah Carolina Shipping are local agents for OOCL while Korea Shipping is represented by PalmettoGulf and Eastern
OOCL and Korea Shippings entry into our marketplace has underscored the viability of the all water alternative In these days of spiralling inflation major vessel commitments are not made lightly Obviously these two lines have identified a growing need for fast scheduled service between the Far East and the South Atlantic More and more shippers are changing their transportation habits to avail themselves of both the all water route and the Port of Savannah OOCL and Korea Shipping have provided them an excellent reason for making that change

Agromar
Line
Expanding trade between South Africa and the South Atlantic has generated increased demand for scheduled service between these areas Agromar Lines a Columbian flag service has responded with the introduction of a monthly express nonconference service linking Savannah with that part of the world Ports called on the African side on a regular rotation include Capetown Durban Port Elizabeth East London and Walrus Bay Other area ports will also be called upon inducement
The MV CORAIN II of Panamanian registry initiated the service with her recent call There are two other vessels traversing the run Both the CORAIN I and its sister ship the CORAIN II were German built The third vessel is the GOLFO DE URABA
During her maiden visit the CORAIN II loaded some 1100 tons of miscellaneous cargo While the ships are designed to accommodate primarily breakbulk cargo they have the capability to handle breakbulk containers and a limited amount of refrigerated commodities Inquiries should be directed to Palmetto Gulf and Eastern local agents for Agromar Stevedoring was performed by Palmetto Stevedores

When the MV VISURGIS docked at Savannahs new container berth on May 13 1972 she marked the start of a period of unprecedented growth for the Port of Savannah and indeed the entire South Atlantic range From that meager beginning the facility has blossomed into an impressive intermodal complex boasting an unparalleled reputation among the international shipping community
The most apparent evidence of the trend lies in the facility expansions portrayed by the series of aerial photographs and statistics on page 10 In addition to the berthing storage and equipment additions increased activity led to the installation of a container operations office complex construction and two subsequent expansions of interchange facilities and acquisition of additional yard handling equipment The physical inventory and billing processes of the early days of CONTAINERPORT have been replaced by computerized systems
The success equation for CONTAINERPORT contains a great number of variables but the final answer has always come out the same growth By understanding these variables and preparing in advance to meet the challenges they present Savannah historically has provided shippers and carriers with the administrative systems facilities and equipment to move their cargo quickly safely and economically In the transportation business moreso than any other the name of the game is service CONTAINERPORT Savannah plays the game very well

Barber Steamship Lines ine Robert H Pouch President
After a careful regional marketing study Barber elected to call Savannah with its new fleet of supercarriers These six innovative vessels represented a 200 million commitment by the firm to provide ocean transport for containers and rolling stock moving between Savannah and the Middle and Far East Barber offers two supercarrier sailings per month plus one multipurpose vessel monthly The company offers Savannah shippers a fast direct service for the widening range of project and other cargoes moving in the Middle and Far Eastern trades

Facility photographs clearly indicate that the physical configuration of CONTAINERPORT is designed to optimize turnaround time This is of course of vital concern to shippers and carriers alike Not as visible but of critical concern are a variety of other factors
STRATEGIC LOCATION
A quick look at a map of the U S East Coast reveals that Savannah is the port located farthest inland This translates into proximity to a number of key production and consumption centers It means ready access to the burgeoning southern rim It puts Savannah a mere 246 road miles from the economic and transportation center of the South Atlanta Hisao Matsudaira justifying his firms initial decision to call Savannah observed Geographically the Port of Savannah provides good coverage down into Florida west to the Mississippi and into the Carolinas When we made a wide compass circle we found that Savannah could cover such a large area
The State of Georgia leads the US in Japanese investment Foreign and domestic industry have made proximity to the Port of Savannah a prime consideration in their deliberations Matsudaira describes the benefit to carriers
a new dimension in shipping
Our new fleet of Sun Class vessels takes the Far out of Far East and adds a new dimension in personalized service

TRANSPORTATION
Nearly 100 motor carriers serve the Port of Savannah Angelo DiNatale of Carrier stressed the importance of the ample reliable truck service to and from CONTAINERPORT We are particularly pleased with the availability of good inland service We can turn a container around in 48 hours allowing us to get on steamers wed otherwise miss Rail service already exceptional has been improved with the recent Family LinesChessie merger providing even more coverage On site switching at CONTAINERPORT is performed around the clock seven days a week by a GPA owned railroad This combination of external and internal rail capability has made Savannah the prime microbridge
STEAMSHIP SERVICE
Twentyone lines offer twentynine scheduled container services calling Savannah Coverage is truly global and transport options are available across virtually every trade route Shippers are thereby assured of the economizing effect of competition
The roster is dotted with companies noted for stability reliability and progressiveness Their customer orientation is exemplified by their many service innovations Y S Lines first in last out service is a fine example Hisao Matsudaira discussing Y S Lines successes stated Particularly our inbound cargo has increased due to Savannahs being our first port in the states Thats why consignees are anxious to use

Five Lines because of rapid transit times OOCLs slot chartering agreement with Korea Shipping has enabled those lines to provide a level of service that would have been unattainable by either acting independently K W Schmlze observed that this type of progressive planning had helped to eliminate the threat of overtonnaging between Savannah and Far Eastern markets
ADMINISTRATIVE
SERVICES
The GPACCS computer program brings the latest in electronic data processing techniques to CONTAINERPORT From the time boxes arrive at the facility through the intermediate processes up until departure accountability is continuously monitored and updated via a battery of remote terminals At the end of the cycle the computer automatically produces appropriate billing documents
U S Customs is directly linked to GPACCS Under a pilot program they scientifically identify boxes to be inspected rather than using random selection Customs notifies GPA of their choices over the computer simultaneously releasing those not designated cutting customary waiting periods by as much as 24 hours In addition Customs releases are delivered via computer eliminating cumbersome paperwork exchanges Individual customers are offered proprietary access to information about their containers by installing terminals in their offices This capability greatly accelerates the disposition of status inquiries daily inventories and releases

interests firsthand and promotes teamwork within the maritime community
CONTAINERPORT itself is an excellent example of centralization and travel economy While container facilities in many ports are scattered CONTAINERPORT is completely selfcontained All paved storage is located immediately adjacent to the three berths Access through the interchange is strictly monitored and limited to container traffic only All handling and processing including delivery storage stuffing and stripping pre and demounting etc are accomplished within the confines of the terminal R C Otto of KMart agrees that the configuration has a highly desirable effect We can obtain our containers readily and get them pulled over to our facilities

Savannah offers an impressive array of port service organizations including forwarders brokers stevedores container repair and leasing firms and surveyors A good selection of export packers offers customers expertise in crating stuffing and stripping marking and warehousing
PROMOTION
A major promotional effort has been instrumental in the growth of CONTAINERPORT The Savannah maritime community and state government have combined efforts to carry the message worldwide Besides normal one on one sales
efforts activities have included trade missions advertising presentations and seminars publicity materials and the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Robert Pouch of Barber outlines his firms positive attitude toward the campaign stating Once weve made a commitment to serve a port its nice to know that theres a group of people who have an innovative attitude toward promotion of the port He characterized the annual Georgia Foreign Trade Confernce as top notch
Steamship service port services inland transportation service customer service all of the characteristics outlined above
share a common denominator service The goal is simple to make the CONTAINERPORT SERVICE equation a reality Our customers agree we have made considerable progress Henry Parczynski of Bosch discussing the service orientation of the Port of Savannah observed We receive excellent cooperation from Customs the carriers and USDA Its a very good place to do business Robert Otto indicates that KMart achieves in Savannah what every shipper desires The Port of Savannah handles containers in a fast and efficient manner And thats the bottom line

AND IN THE FUTURE
There is every reason to believe that the economic factors which bred CONTAINERPORT will remain in force for the foreseeable future This little piece of marketing intelligence has been factored into our planning process for some time now As a result the development of CONTAIN ERPORT has and will continue apace
Long range plans call for the completion of the six berth CONTAINERPORT complex before 1990 This phased expansion will be coupled with land acquisition and expansion of breakbulk capability at Ocean Terminal to offset loss of space which will be rededicated to container facilities at Garden City Terminal
The fourth container berth
already under construction is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 1982 It will be the largest of the four at 1200 feet and will be backed up by an additional 40 acres of paved storage Two45 ton container cranes will also be erected Carriers have expressed a particular interest in CONTAINERPORT expansion plans Ken Schmolze of Dart Orient indicates that the impending completion of berth four was a factor in OOCLs decision to initiate its SavannahFar East service Were always afraid of being stacked up somewhere due to berthing shortages This is an expensive proposition with a container ship Construction of berths five and six is programmed to provide the
additional capacity at appropriate intervals in the growth cycle Obviously opening facilities too soon or too late can have disastrous fiscal consequences Besides additional berths cranes and storage space other improvements include expansion of interchange and stuffing and stripping facilities The number of slots for refrigerated containers will be doubled The existing cold storage facility located dockside at the eastern edge of berth four will be increased from 28000 to 68000 square feet in area and from
450000 to 1250000 cubic feet in volume An expanded truck dock will double the covered apron area available for stuffing and stripping reefer containers
In the new storage areas the
emphasis will be on wheeled storage retaining some limited stack capacity in each berth Yard handling equipment will be procured consistent with efficiency and storage preferences of CONTAINERPORT customers As with existing facilities there will be straight line rail access into each berth Provisions have been made to accommodate both lease and nonlease operators in the storage area
Because roll on roll off cargoes are becoming more apparent in Savannah steps are being taken to facilitiate their handling Transit shed space for RoRo cargo requiring covered stowage will be provided in closed proximity to the berths Stevedores in Savannah are augmenting their equipment
fleets with low profile machines conducive to working within the confines of RoRo vessels Robert Pouch of Barber Steamship Lines sees RoRo as a growth market in the South and Savannah as the ideal port to handle it He observes Savannah is an ideal RoRo port because a there are large commitments for containerized cargoes b the degree of industrialization in the area and c the ease of receipt and delivery of cargo CONTAI N ERPORT facilities are being carefully structured to provide total adaptability for full cellular RoRo and RoRoLoLo combination vessels
The progressive development that has characterized the history of CONTAINERPORT has assured that the terminal has and will con
tinue to meet the divergent needs of its many users Container tonnages have grown at an annual rate of nearly 50 percent over the last two years but the surge was anticipated planned for and handled Each of our interviewsincluded the question What is the single most important advantage of CONTAINERPORT Savannah The list of replies would closely parallel the characteristics outlined in the previous section But Hisao Matsudaira of Y S Lines may have aptly summarized the feelings of the entire group when he said There are a number of positive factors but more important is the lack of negatives The best proof of the effectiveness of CONTAINERPORT is no complaints from us or our customers

BARBER BLUE SEA
IMPROVES SAVANNAH SERVICE
With the visit of the MV BARBER NARA Barber Blue Sea Line has made a significant change to the vessel rotation for its SavannahMiddle EastFar East service The NARA was the first vessel to load outbound cargo on the return leg Previously Barber vessels loaded in Savannah on the inbound call from the Far East The new concept is that the vessels will now return to Savannah for a direct outbound call
The new schedule will have a significant effect on transit times between Savannah and Barbers overseas ports of call Company officials indicate that outbound cargoes from Savannah will reach their destinations two weeks sooner Transit times to Jeddah will be reduced to but 18 days The trip to Arabian Gulf ports will be 22 days with Singapore deliveries tabbed at 38 days With the new
double call Barber vessels will be visiting Savannah four times monthly
Barbers Supercarriers offer exceptional versatility for handling RoRo cargo containers of all types including liquid and refrigerated rolling stock boats pipes machinery and heavy lifts up to 400 tons The vessels are completely selfsustaining with a fleet of low profile lift equipment and a 400 ton weather deck crane This configuration enables them to serve every type of port facility from those in their germinal stages through the most sophisticated In highly developed ports such as Savannah ships gear works in unison with shoreside equipment to provide remarkable turnaround times Harrington and Company are local agents for Barber Blue Sea

Sylvan Shipping
Earthquake Relief
Sylvan Shippings vessel the MS SYLVO recently made the companys inaugural voyage in its new Mediterranean service The itinerary for the new run includes the Western Mediterranean ports of Barcelona Marseille Genoa Leghorn and Naples Sylvan a subsidiary of ITT Rayonier Inc is currently engaged in marine transportation of woodpulp and other forest products between Savannah and its European ports of call
Cargo on the first voyage included more than 200000 worth of relief goods destined for survivors of southern Italys devastating earthquake When it was determined that a relief plan could be executed Sylvan donated four TEUs worth of container space and free ocean transport for the goods A number of relief programs throughout the South funnelled the emergency aid to Savannah from points in Florida and South Carolina as well as Georgia
The MS SYLVO has also been involved in another recent move of importance to the Port of Savannah To correct an equipment imbalance between the South Atlantic and Northern Europe she has been delivering empty containers to Savannah Industrial expansion increased exports and growth of the Port of Savannah have generated a tremendous increase in demand for the boxes in this area Approximately 400 containers were discharged at GPAs CONTAINERPORT by the SYLVO on her first visit to that terminal
Indications are that there will be a continuation of this trend for some time Additional empties are already booked on the SYLVOs next voyage with the promise of more to come Savannah was selected as point of discharge for the containers primarily because recent rate hikes at other ports gave it a distinct pricing advantage Southeastern Maritime Company are local agents for Sylvan Lines

BRUNSWICK BAGGING
The movement of a large quantity of fertilizer recently underscored the Port of Brunswicks ability to accommodate shippers special requirements As a smaller port Brunswick concentrates on providing attentive service within the framework of very specific commodity groups
Some 5400 metric tons of fertilizer were involved in the move Specifically the commodity was a nitrogenphosphrouspotash blend
in three grades The large majority arrived at Brunswicks bulk complex via rail car with a smaller amount delivered by motor carrier
The fertilizer was stowed in Bulk Warehouse I Subsequently it was loaded into 120000 bags each of 110 pound capacity The bags were then transferred dockside for loading Marine Port Terminals conducted bagging operations John Stubbs of Marine Port Terminals expressed optimism as to the potential for future movements
of this type He cited market potentials and positive handling experience as prime factors contributing to this likelihood
The fertilizer was consigned to Panama Two Mini Lines vessels the MINI LIBRA and the MINI LAP carried the cargo to its destination Point of origin was the Bainbridge Georgia plant of Kaiser Agricultural Chemicals Brunswick Ship Agencies Inc and TTT Agencies were local agents for the vessels
MV MINI LIBRA loads bags of Kaiser fertilizer at GPAs Brunswick Terminal
Bagging operations underway inside Brunswick Bulk Warehouse I A total of 120000 bags were stuffed

CONTAINERS TO BRUNSWICK
Demand for containers in the Brunswick area has been increasing steadily in the last two years Many of the carriers serving the port offer combination breakbulkcontainer vessels to their customers As shippers have discovered the uncongested efficient transportation setting afforded by Brunswick they have sent out the signal to the carriers to expand and diversify their service
A recent example of this
phenomenon was the unloading of a consignment of empty containers The MV FRANK brought the boxes from Trinidad to provide additional equipment for Brunswick while relieving a surplus at the point of origin In addition to discharging the 58 containers the vessel loaded some 1600 tons of animal feed Brunswick Ship Agencies were agents for the vessel while Marine Port Terminals performed stevedoring

Aztec Trading company
MV VARJAKKA loads linerboard at GPAs Ocean Terminal
Shipboard ceremonies marking inauguration of Aztec Trading Companys new service were attended by I to r Dick Warner Assistant Export Manager GeorgiaPacific K Yruola Master of the VARJAKKA Hiram Ware Director of Planning and Traffic for Union Camp and Frank Schachte President of High Seas Shipping Company
JANUARYFEBRUARY
Savannahs natural hinterland has traditionally generated large volumes of forest products Recent emphasis on exports by manufacturers of these goods has spawned an increased need for ocean carriers The most recent reaction to this demand has been the inauguration of Northern European and Mediterranean service by Aztec Trading Company
Aztec is a wholly owned subsidiary of GeorgiaPacific Initially this shipping arm was established to handle transport of GeorgiaPacifics products overseas However demand for service became so great that the company elected to offer transportation to other firms as well
Evidence of the volume of cargo moving in the trade is provided by the list of vessels scheduled to call in the near future In a single month period a total of six vessels are booked according to Frank Schachte of High Seas Shipping local agents for Aztec Two of the vessels will be destined for Northern Europe three to the Mediterranean and one specifically for Egypt
All the ships in these services are chartered Aztec does operate company owned vessels along other routes Aztecs confidence in the solidity of the trade is reflected by the fact that they have already entered into long term charters for three of the vessels the MVs RAVENSWOOD CALANDA and VARJAKKA Currently the company is soliciting exclusively breakbulk cargoes but may offer some container capability in the future according to Schachte
The VARJAKKA initiated the new service calling GPAs Ocean Terminal to load linerboard The three firms providing the 1000 tons of cargo were Union Camp GeorgiaPacific and Tradeway International A number of other producers have expressed interest in future utilization of Aztecs vessels

TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
JOE B FANNON DIRECTOR OF TRAFFIC TARIFFS
TRANSPORTATION 1981
The year 1980 saw the beginning of pricing innovations in the railroad and trucking industries as decades of federal regulations began to crumble and disappear As companies begin to take advantage of liberalization in federal regulation example after example of heretofore unheard of changes have taken place Shippers have contracted to pay a premium rate for faster service One shipper signed a 20 year contract and paid upfront money to obtain upgrading of track used for the service Other shippers have agreed to rates based on cubic capacity used rather than on weights Motor carriers have started offering discounts for multiple shipments and on and on
More changes are expected in 1981 the first full year that motor carriers and railroads operate under new legislative mandates
which stress competition rather than regulation Although the ICC had been moving towards liberalization on its own the new laws codified the changes and to a degree have quieted complaints by the trucking industry that the agency was violating its legislative mandate In contrast the railroads have by and large supported deregulation for several years
The ICC has already begun issuing regulations implementing various provisions of the rail and trucking deregulationminded laws and many more will follow in the next few months The rest is up to the carriers
Under the new Motor Carrier Act of 1980 it is easier for new trucking companies to enter the business and for existing firms to expand their services It also gives them more freedom to lower or
raise freight rates without government intervention Further it paves the way for many routing and commodity restrictions to be eliminated and results in fuel svings and more efficient operations
The Stagger Rail Act of 1980 signed into law on October 14th contains similar changes for the railroads The railroads now have significant new pricing and operating flexibility they have not experienced for nearly 100 years The Act frees a major part of rail rates from ICC regulation altogether establishing a zone of flexibility within which railroads can raise rates without ICC involvement Rates still covered are governed by more relaxed regulation which authorize contract rate agreements
Some of the ICCs further moves will continue to be controversial particularly in the rail area The new costing system which will have major implications in rate making is predicted to cause much moaning and groaning from both shippers and carriers Just how management in the trucking and rail industries adjust to their new opportunities will be crucial to their future

The
Executive
Corner
In future years the decade of the seventies will certainly be remembered as one of tremendous change in the world geopolitical balance At the heart of the shift has been the emergence of the so called third world nations Their ability to meet surging world demand for petroproducts and raw materials gave them the impetus to develop The systematic application of their newfound wealth has launched them on the road to industrialization and they are now major producers of finished goods as well Obviously this phenomenology has had a profound effect on the position these countries occupy in the world trade scenario
The Port of Savannah is in a unique position to be an effective trading partner for these areas of the world Our proximity to production and consumption centers our inland transportation connections and our comprehensive port services make us a natural funnel for goods moving between the US and developing nations By careful design our steamship portfolio is dotted with lines whose schedules and carriage capabilities are particularly suited to these trades Ships ranging from fully cellular containerships and RoRo vessels through
combination carriers to traditional bulk and breakbulk vessels regularly ply the waters between Savannah and the ports serving these developing nations
Our trade development strategies have been amended to carry the message concerning the superiority of the Port of Savannah to these new traders Our marketing analyses have yielded telling information as to emerging markets and projected commodity movements These have been incorporated into our facility planning and steamship solicitation programs to provide a comprehensive package for capturing a significant share of the trade
The Middle East Africa Southeast Asia each is already regularly exchanging goods with the US through Savannah Our sales efforts are designed to insure that their port selection habits parallel those of our more traditional trading counterparts who have consistently found Savannah to be the economical and effective alternative We welcome these new businessmen to the arena of world trade and are confident that we will play a key role in helping them to carve their place on the international trade map

Africa
Trade inThe 80s
Historically Africas status as an international trader began to rise as other sources of raw materials and agricultural products dried up Blessed with tremendous natural resources in terms of both mineral wealth and land availability the continent seems poised on the brink of a quantum leap into a prominent role in the world trade picture
The African nations along the Northern Tier operate oil based economies Given their recent petrodollar windfalls they have pursued massive spending programs to convert their wealth into better living conditions for their citizenry US participation in these markets has been sizable and exports to the region jumped nearly 25 percent in 1980
Because these nations are concentrating so heavily on infrastructure development project opportunities abound for potential exporters in the areas of housing electricity generation desalinization highways communications ports expansion recreation and educational facilities A strong demand continues for specific US agriproducts as well Principal nonagricultural exports to the region have included heavy mining and construction machinery industrial equipment trucks tractors aircraft and of course replacement parts
Further to the South US goods are entering the continent at a rate in excess of our overall export average These economies tend to be mineral rather than oil based Import demand is similar to that in North Africa with regard to infrastructure related items with particular emphasis on the hardware of the mining forestry and to a lesser degree petroleum industries In addition the demand for manufactured goods such as paper products appliances tex
tiles and fibers has paralleled the growth in buying power
Food products are another major component of the trade portfolio for this region This group includes grains vegetable oils beverage syrups and dry milk The Port of Savannah has been a major export marshalling point for powdered milk for some time
Smith Kelly Company represents several lines which regularly carry this commodity to Africa Roy Page of their Savannah office reports first quarter 1981 shipments totalling some
17950000 pounds He further stated that these shipment levels should be the rule for the foreseeable future
Powdered milk is a regular relief shipment to needy African countries

SAVANNAHAFRICA
THE NATURE OF THE TRADE
Conversations with Savannah shipping concerns reveal that the list of commodities moving in the SavannahAfrica trades is as extensive as it is diverse Strachan Shipping local agents for Moore McCormack Lines list synthetic fiber clay machinery frozen poultry and paper products as the major outbound goods On the import side tea seashells handicrafts castings and plow parts are among the leading items by volume
Bob Jackson Director of Marketing and Sales for Moore McCormack reports growing Southbound business describing Africa as a solid market for the future He cited several potential obstacles including political vagaries and the status of aid shipments but felt that positive market indicators more than offset these
Tetley Tea has opted to use Savannah not only as its inbound port but as a distribution center as well The firm maintains a facility located on GPAs Garden City Terminal Operations there involve receipt of large boxes of loose tea and subsequent placement of the product into the various supermarket and institutional packages
Tetley is one of many customers who view Savannahs strategic location not only as a comparative port advantage but an inland distribution bonus as well
Safmarine Corporations vessels have been regular visitors to the Port of Savannah for many years Stevens Shipping local agents for the line provided a rundown of the major export commodities carried which included road equipment cellulose film forest products agricultural machinery small boats synthetic resin air conditioning units and kaolin clay
Based on lengthy experience in the market Safmarine is eminently qualified to address the issue of future trade between the US and Africa Anthony Sette Vice President of Sales and Marketing for the Line indicated that while political and economic considerations made forecasting somewhat more difficult accurate short term predictions were possible The African trade is very strong at the moment and appears strong for next year he observed
Sette sees Savannahs future with the African business as bright He cited demand in Africa for cargoes which originate in
Savannahs natural hinterland as major factor He summarized Safmarines reasoning for calling the Port of Savannah stating Were very happy with Savannah It offers good service good terminals and good labor and has good volumes of commodities moving to Africa Thats why were here with a weekly service
The largest tonnage export from Savannah is kaolin clay and one of the major shippers is Engelhard Minerals and Chemicals EMCs regular business with Africa constitutes only a small portion of their total volume but company officials characterize it as an interesting market A small quantity of attapulgite clay utilized in the production of oil dry pet litter floor absorbents herbicide carriers and filter aids moves in the trade but the majority is kaolin Joe Mullaly Export Administrator for EMC stated Basically our business is in kaolin for paper coating and filling There are about a half a dozen major paper coating companies in South Africa
Mullaly reports that his firms volume is slightly down but steady The takeoff in business has not quite been as projected one or two years ago but EMC remains optimistic One reason for their favorable outlook rests with the potential for expanding African markets for premium paper clays The companys strategy for the near term future includes a systematic push to increase sales of these particular grades of kaolin
There are only three major kaolin producing areas in the world the United Kingdom Brazil and Georgia For this reason Savannah looms as a logical outlet for these cargoes and the statistics bear out this assumption Mullaly also cited good service and a good track record as other plusses but confirmed that proximity to kaolin sources was the overriding consideration Economics are critical in kaolin sales because of its very low unit price he observed Because inland transportation costs can have a disastrous effect on competitiveness in the international marketplace Savannah has become the obvious choice for Engelhard and their fellow producers

Linerboard is one of the major forest commodities moving in the African trades
operating losses from 197779 the firm reported profits of 3 million for 1980 Things are looking up for Farrell and consequently for the Port of Savannah
Any discussion of forest products moving exSavannah inevitably includes mention of Union Camp The firms Savannah operation is the largest of its type in the world and generates tremendous volumes of paper products A major item moving from that facility along world trade lanes is linerboard and Africa is the destination for a goodly portion
In discussing Union Camps African business Bill Dipman Export General Sales Manager said Its reasonable volume I would characterize it as one of our middle size markets He indicated that Scandinavian producers who had been major suppliers for Africa have been forced by raw material shortages to withdraw to a large extent to markets closer to home Increased demand for the US product has been the result Dipman reports that requests for quotations a reliable barometer for new business have been on the rise from areas such as Zimbabwe and Tunisia He summarized Union Camps positive outlook for increased African sales stating We look down the road and see that these markets will be increasingly attractive to us
Firestone occupies the dual position of vessel operator and importer Their business involves the importation of crude rubber and liquid latex from the largest single rubber plantation in the world located in Liberia The products are carried on specially built company owned vessels of the liquid bulkbreakbulk combination class The cargo is unloaded at Firestones Savannah distribution facility located on GPAs Ocean Terminal The liquid latex is shipped to Georgias carpet mills for use in foam carpet backing while the crude rubber goes to tire plants in Albany Memphis Oklahoma City and several others
Bill Richey Firestones local representative reports that his company is confident about the future as well Were hoping our market will improve because the rising cost of petroleum has pushed the cost of synthetic rubber so high he stated With their own vessels calling Savannah every three weeks Firestone has the flexibility to transport the raw materials to handle any additional growth
AHEAD
Africa does not yet occupy the position of a major US trading partner However the word potential must certainly apply to any discussion of the continent Current shippers unanimously point to
a slow but accelerating growth for the near term with the possibility of more rapid advances given political stabilization New manufacturers are entering the marketplace regularly and requests for quotations and commodity specifics are on the rise Much of the capital equipment being imported by African nations will soon be generating ores manufactured goods textiles and handicrafts destined for US markets
The impressive list of steamship lines connecting Savannah with Africa offers virtually every conceivable type of transportation for each of the four modes liquid bulk dry bulk containers and breakbulk Full container tankers bulkers RoRo and countless breakbulkcombination vessels regularly traverse these trade routes Services have become more numerous frequent and regularly scheduled as volumes of goods moving to and from Africa have increased
There can be no doubt that the nations of Africa are determined to utilize their resource wealth to provide the technological and cultural advances to bring the third world to parity with the developed nations The Africa of the 80s will hold more potential for traders than ever before and US business and the world steamship industry are already heeding the signals

CONCORDE UNE
MV AM BAR called Savannah to initiate Concorde Lines new monthly service to the Islands of the Atlantic
The Port of Savannah is becoming the Caribbean Connection for an increasing number of shippers Transportation officials are finding exceptional origin to destination rates for the Islands of the Atlantic through the Port Availability of frequent and reliable inland and ocean transportation strategic location and professional handling are other factors which have prompted many shippers to opt for Savannah in place of more traditional ports
In the future the waterbone transport options will be even more diversified because Concorde Line has initiated a monthly SavannahCaribbean service Operations will be of the fully containerized fully wheel variety Concorde will be accepting cargoes for and from the ports of Curacao Willemstad Aruba Kingston Jamica PortAuPrince Haiti Port of Spain Trinidad and Santo Domingo Dominican Republic
A total of four vessels will be engaged in the run All are about the same size with capacities ranging between 275 and 300 TEUs They also are equipped to accommodate refrigerated containers Given the volume of frozen foods moving southbound and the impending expansion of GPA cold storage facilities this capability would certainly seem destined for frequent utilization Inaugurating the service was the MV AM BAR
Company officials are extremely optimistic about the new service They are already expressing hopes that sailings can be doubled in the near future Bill Burgers Manager of Norton Lilly Companys Savannah office local agents for Concorde indicated The market research definitely shows that the business is here Further evidence of Concordes corporate faith in Savannah is the fact that it is the only South Atlantic port se
lected for the new services US itinerary

Handling
innovation
The Port of Savannahs maritime community is always trying to build a better mousetrap This spirit of innovation applied to both administrative processes and physical handling has been a key factor in Savannahs rise to its status as leading international port of the South Atlantic
The latest improvement involves breakbulk handling and was introduced by Strachans stevedoring division It is in the form of six farm tractortrailer units Each consists of a standard farmtype tractor coupled to a high capacity eight wheeled trailer The units are used to transfer cargo between dock margins and storage locations Examples of commodities for which they will be used are paper products steel plates and super sacks
There are a number of advantages provided by this equipment
Each is equipped with a remote releasecoupling unit which permits the driver to connect and disconnect the trailer without leaving his tractor Because of their size they permit reduction of the number of round trips required to move cargo and enhance the overall speed of delivery to or from vessels In addition fewer pieces of handling equipment are required to move cargo reducing dock traffic and enhancing the overall safety of operations Finally cargo is kept off the ground eliminating potential contamination or water damage
Strachans ingenuity has provided another group of shippers with an opportunity to economize by specifying Savannah Their current customers are already reaping the benefits and others will certainly be attracted by their obvious service orientation In Savannah this attitude is a portwide condition
Strachans new handling units assure swift safe and clean movement of cargo

l a
Recently concluded negotiations have resulted in the publication of an important new motor carrier rate between Savannah and Chicago for containerized cargo The rate is 61000 per container and is offered by Road Rail Transport Ltd The rate is not subject to any addon charge for positioning of empty containers To our knowledge this is the lowest published rate between Chicago and any North Atlantic South Atlantic or Gulf port Savannahs strategic location has enabled Road Rail transport to offer a rate that is economical for shippers while producing a reasonable profit for the carrier
The rate applies between railroad ramps at Savannah and Chicago It is subject to the stipulation that cartage at both cities must be performed by Road Rail Transport If it is not an additional charge of 3500 is assessed Significantly the rate is not subject to any fuel surcharge Maximum weight allowance is a generous 44000 pounds Excess charges are assessed at 200 per hundred weight
Another important feature of the new rate is that it can be used in combination with local rates between Chicago and all points in the Midwest This arrangement provides wide coverage for cargoes moving between Savannah and the agricultural and industrial heartland of the country
Midwestern cargoes have long constituted a sizable segment of Savannahs overall volume The publication of this exceptional rate will bring a dramatic increase in that flow Traffic and transportation managers will find that the road to Savannah is the least expensive and that this economy extends through handling operations at GPAs CONTAIN ERPORT Road Rail Transport and Georgia Ports have combined to make Savannah the port closest to the Midwest
Exact charges and handling arrangements can be obtained by contacting Road Rail Transport Their telephone numbers are Georgia WATS 18002821855 Interstate WATS 18002410803 Atlanta local 4044587392

ELECTRIC SUBSTATION FOR COLONELS ISLAND
Georgia Power has completed a major electric service project at Colonels Island Constructed at a cost of approximately 17 million the new electric substation will fulfill the power needs of the islands current and future occupants
The project involved the building of 124 miles of 115000 volt transmission line and a 11546 kilovolt substation The station utilizes a 22400 kilovolt amp transformer to break down the current from 115000 to 46000 volts to make it suitable for use by their industrial customers
According to Georgia Power officials substations of this type are constructed specifically to improve service in a given region In this case the station was built to strengthen the 46 KV transmission system in the Jekyll Island Colonels Island and Waverly area It provides a power source for Colonels Island which we believe has the greatest potential for development in the area stated Georgia Power spokesperson Barbara Washington
SCMs construction is signalling the beginning of the awaited growth surge on the island Next fiscal year GPA will dredge the channel to 30 feet from Colonels Island to the East River Shortly thereafter construction of a 21000000 dry bulk facility and attendant dock structures will begin A number of private firms have entered into land option agreements for the purposes of constructing facilities as soon as the channel is available Rail and highway connections are already in place The provision of ample reliable electricity will obviously be a key factor if these diverse plans are to come to fruition Georgia Powers construction of this new facility has more than fulfilled this important requirement

NAUTILUS COMPANY
A new marine services company has begun operations in the Port of Savannah The Nautilus Company Inc specializes in commercial diving particularly for the shipping industry Their main activity is the cleaning of ships underwater utilizing a unique scrubbing system
The Brush Kart is a tripleheaded brushing machine that a diver can drive over the hull of a ship to remove algae grass barnacles etc that foul the hulls of oceangoing vessels This fouling is of particular concern during the current era of energy consciousness in that it causes a marked increase in fuel consumption and greatly increases operational costs
The process utilized by the Brush Kart is simply the mechanical action of the hydraulically powered brushes Nothing is added to the hull or water The brushes are designed to remove foreign material without damaging the antifouling paint In practice the scrubbing action actually revitalizes the paint allowing an additional 35 months of antifouling activity
A variety of bristles can be attached to the unit depending on
the degree of fouling These range from soft nylon to hard steel and even steel plates that can be applied to remove heavy barnacle and tube worm encrustation This allows flexibility from light jobs consisting of removal of moss and slime to heavy jobs such as removal of large barnacles to aid in the preparation of the hull for drydocking
The Brush Kart is equipped with a lighting system that permits the diver to see his progress Additional 100 watt lights can be added to cope with dark murky harbor water Offshore these additional lights are generally not required The Nautilus Company anticipates an ability to scrub offshore in the mouth of the Savannah River as well
In the coming months the Nautilus Company Inc will continue expanding its operations in Savannah to accomplish fullscale scrubbing opertions These activities will include the incorporation of a full ship inspection service utilizing underwater photography and closedcircuit television Savannah will be the only South Atlantic port offering Nautilus unique series of services
The diver operated Brush Kart unit spells hull cleaning and operating economy for vessel operators

SCM STATUS REPORT
Construction is proceeding on schedule at SCMs Colonels Island facility
Construction of SCMs production facility Brunswick is proceeding apace It is being erected on a 200 acre tract on Colonels Island The plant will be engaged in the fractioning of crude sulphate turpentine into alpha and beta pinene These products are utilized in the production of camphene pine oil flavors fragrances pharmaceuticals vitamins and cosmetics
Procon Inc have been appointed onsite construction managers while Procons Houston based arm is handling the design engineering Site preparation has been completed and work has begun on the facilities themselves Some six separate contractors are on scene and have begun their work on the plant and the projected start up date is holding at January 1 1982
Development of Colonels Island has begun in earnest with SCMs venture Beginning late this summer GPA will dredge a 30 foot channel from the island to the existing Brunswick East River channel This will effectively open up Colonels Island to ocean vessel
traffic in the near future FY 82 will see the beginning of work on a 21000000 bulk facility there Dock construction will be included in this package and will provide a 1000 foot berth equipped to handle dry bulk exports
A number of major firms share GPAs optimism as to the future of Brunswick in general and Colonels Island in particular They have expressed their confidence by entering into land option agreements on the island Completion of the aforementioned dredging will clear the way for them to join SCM
With problems of congestion and site availability plaguing other ports Brunswick and Colonels Island loom large as prime alternatives for expansionminded business Strategic location onsite rail and highway amenities inland transportation connections and existence of an already bustling harbor are riher considerations which are attracting attention to the port SCMs start up will serve to make 1982 the beginning of a period of sustained growth for Brunswick and Colonels Island

SUNFLOWER SEEDS
Travelling reclaimer scrapes sunflower seeds onto outbound belt for transfer to and loading aboard the MV DUBROVNIK
GPAs Bulk Facility has added another entry to its history of commodities handled Approximately
13000 metric tons of sunflower seeds were exported to Portugal
The Yugoslavian vessel MV DUBROVNIK was chartered to carry the shipment It was the first of three such movements according to officials of Continental Grain the shipper The
last two consigments were expected to be of similar size
The sunflower seeds were shipped to Savannah by rail from Superior Wisconsin The seeds were assembled there from a number of growing areas in the Dakotas and Minnesota

REEFER
CONTAINER
MONITOR
Georgia Ports Authority is installing a new monitoring apparatus for refrigerated boxes at its CONTAINERPORT reefer row The Ground Fault Monitoring System GFM is designed to provide fast sensitive protection against dangerous and damaging low level ground faults To our knowledge it is the first and only such system in the world
The GFM was installed in the interests of safety for operating personnel and cargo preservation When reefer containers arrive at the port with undetected faults hookup to field power can be extremely hazardous In addition days may pass before the problem surfaces resulting in loss of temperature controlled cargo or damage to refrigeration machinery The GFM is designed to prevent the development of either of these situations
The monitoring system prevents costly accidents by detecting equipment failures instantly when the unit is plugged into the CONTAINERPORT power supply Also it identifies electrical problems which may occur after the unit has arrived at CONTAINERPORT In laymans terms the system acts as a sort of circuit breaker Whenever a technical defect exists with a reefer sensors open a circuit activating a signal lamp and an audible alarm indicating a failure in the unit and potential cargo loss Maintenance personnel are immediately notified to accomplish repairs or prepare the unit for return to the customers service location

Georgia Ports Authority recognizing the need for this type of protection approached the MIPCO unit of the Midland Ross Corporation as to the feasibility of developing such a system Subsequently GPA in conjunction with its consulting engineer Lockwood Greene prepared suitable operational specifications
The GFM is being installed in conjunction with the expansion of GPAs total reefer capacity at CONTAINERPORT The number of outlets has been increased by 40 percent to 182 The 52 new outlets are the first to be GFM equipped Units are also on order for the original 130 reefer hookups with installation expected to be completed in the near future
An interesting feature of the new reefer slots is that the hookups are centered on a ten foot wide island In this recessed position they are protected from damage caused by containers being backed into them
Port interests involved in refrigerated container handling transport and maintenance are universally impressed with this ground fault monitor Ray DeMott President and Ray Barnwell Refrigeration Foreman of Great Southern Trailer Corporation a major reefer maintenance contractor were on hand for the mounting of the first monitor After a brief ex
planation of the workings of the system DeMott observed The personnel safety feature is just great Of course anything that will help us take care of the cargo is better for everyone concerned the shipper the independent contractor and the port Savannah being the first port to have the system is a big plus
Innovation has been a primary ingredient in Savannahs dramatic growth While many ports would have been happy to install the system it took the Port of Savannah to actively solicit and bring together the technical expertise to carry the project through to fruition Don Gale Savannah Manager for Maersk Line which carries a steady flow of reefer containers sees the GFM as a valuable addition to the CONTAINERPORT picture and reputation of the port as a whole He stated This new system will further enhance the already outstanding reputation of Savannah as the leading port on the South Atlantic

Star Shipping AS of Bergen Norway recently introduced two new combination vessels to its East Coast Container Service The MVs STAR THESEUS and STAR GAZER were assigned to improve per voyage TEU capability They each possess a total container capacity of 474 TEUs
Addition of the two vessels was part of Stars long range plan to expand and modernize its container operations In pursuit of that goal the company has more recently announced the expansion of the service to call direct at Bremen and Rotterdam This move was designed to provide a more prototypical container service as opposed to carrying containers on a breakbulk route as they had been doing Torin Swartout Intermodal Operations Manager for Star Shipping NY Inc summarized stating We are moving towards a more fully containerized service utilizing bigger and better ships and more advanced ports
Like so many other carriers Star has selected Savannah as the exclusive South Atlantic port of call for its East Coast Container Service Savannahs strategic location places it farthest inland of any east coast port Excellent terminal facilities and inland transportation amenities complete the attractive package As vessel operating economics force shipping lines to become more exclusive in selection of ports Savannah looms large as the emerging centerport of the South Atlantic range
Currently the vessel rotation brings either the THESEUS or the GAZER to Savannah every 21 days Volumes are being carefully monitoried with an eye toward increasing the number of calls according to Swartout Prospects for improvements are promising if current trends continue Swartout reports business has been good observing Were very pleased with the way 1981 has started

PEANUTS
Climatic conditions during the past growing season have produced some uncharacteristic trends in the movement of agribulk commodities Peanuts for example have historically moved through Savannah on a regular basis Recently however they have changed direction from outbound
to inbound
Ricnard Towns Manager of Kuehne Nagels Savannah office reported two sizable moves The shipments involved 62 and 30 containers respectively The combined consignments totalled over 4000000 pounds of the nuts A total of 30000000 pounds will move through Savannah before June
The peanuts were grown in India and subsequently shipped in bulk
to Rotterdam They were then stuffed into the containers for transport to Savannah Previous shipments of this type had been imported through midAtlantic ports but a comparison with Savannah transportation economics brought the shift The cargo was destined for a cold storage facility in Macon Georgia where it was to undergo final USDA testing before being released for processing

CRANE REDEPLOYMENT
Crane 103 joins its big brother number 120 background as one of four working berths 1420 at Ocean Terminal
The addition of two new heavy lift cranes has enabled Georgia Ports to realign its cranes to provide maximum efficiency and coverage The new units possess lifting capacities of 175 and 100 tons respectively They have been situated at Ocean Terminal where the rail configuration allows them to access seven berths plus a ten acre paved marshalling area This arrangement permits the same crane to handle heavy lifts both dockside and in backup storage areas Customers are therefore relieved of the requirement of leasing mobile equipment to handle heavy cargoes to and from storage locations Additionally vessels are not required to shift for multiple heavy lifts as is the case with fixedlocation cranes
Crane number 102 which was formerly situated on the same trackage as the newer cranes has been upgraded and relocated to Ocean Terminals berths one and two Previously no crane was positioned at that facility and all handling was accomplished by ships gear or mobiles In addition to enhancing overall breakbulk cargo handling at these berths it
Gantry crane service has been added to berths one and two at Ocean Terminal with the relocation of crane 102
adds important breakbulk container handling capability Crane 101 will remain at berths 1420 Like 102 it has been upgraded to provide an increased maximum capacity of 50 tons as well as improved outreach
The total number of cranes at Ocean Terminal has increased to five with the transfer of crane number 103 from Garden City Conversion of berths 56 and 57 to container berth 4 made it available for relocation Crane 103 has also been placed on the tracks which serve berths 1420 plus the marshalling yard A total of three cranes remain in place at Garden City Terminals breakbulk complex
Restructuring of crane deployment is an important step in the development of Ocean Terminal as a complete breakbulk and heavy lift handling facility Increased flows of project cargoes are underscoring industry demand for facilities of these types Continued GPA emphasis on upgrading of breakbulk handling capability will
take the form of the slip one refurbishing project This massive undertaking will involve filling of slip one and construction of an ultramodern two berth complex It will feature 1000 feet of berthing 200 foot margins and an 800000 square foot transit shed Four of Ocean Terminals five cranes will add these two berths to their service area
Container volumes have risen dramatically at most ports but in many cases much of the growth has come to the expense of breakbulk tonnages Savannah statistics show that breakbulks have experienced a steady six percent annual growth throughout the CONTAINERPORT era Savannahs cargo profile combines with optimistic projections for breakbulks to assure a continuing heavy flow through the port GPAs capital improvement program reflects our determination to situate the modern facilities and handling equipment to meet these increases with our customary efficiency

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
Agricultural commodities have traditionally occupied a key position in the cargo portfolios of the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick Our natural hinterland includes large fertile areas which generate large volumes of raw and processed goods
The United States has always served as a sort of farmer to the world Our country possesses an unrivalled combination of land availability and technological knowhow Our ability to produce agriproducts far beyond domestic needs is proven and international trade is the logical outlet for our surplus
Agriproduct exports possess enormous potential in terms of alleviating our critical balance of payments problem It is incumbent upon us to identify world food markets and to develop the delivery systems to serve them Trade development interests from both the governmental and private sectors must redouble their efforts to publicize the availability of these markets for potential exporters
We are already seeing the results of their efforts Bulk grain tonnages through our ports have risen geometrically over the last four years The demand for containers for agricultural commodities is on the rise Poultry and other temperature controlled products are moving through at a brisk pace
Obviously the sluggishness in our economy has prompted many producers to examine the overseas side of the fence
The State of Georgia must play a pivotal role in the continued growth of the agriexport business Our ability to handle and store these commodities rapidly and safely can make the critical difference Agricultural commodities by their nature tend to have a high weight to dollar value ratio For this reason transportation cost addons can have a disproportionate and disastrous effect on the delivered price of the cargo GPAs responsibilities are to provide the service expertise facilities and administrative systems that will guarantee the most expeditious and economical handling possible across our terminals
Currently our handling of agriproducts is centered in our Savannah dry bulk facility In addition a number of bulk bagged processed and refrigerated goods move through in containers At Brunswick recently refurbished transit shed one houses dry bulk operations for agricultural
Our firm belief in the future of agriproduct exports is reflected in our near term construction and planning package In Brunswick we have just added a hopper car unloading station and elevator at Transit Shed One Funds have been approved for the dredging of a channel from the existing East River channel to our Colonels Island industrial site Engineering and design now in progress will culminate in the construction on Colonels Island of a 22 million dry bulk handling complex and attendant dock structures
At the Savannah dry bulk facility a second truck unloading station recently completed will improve delivery turnaround times The existing cold storage facility will be more than doubled in size providing additional capacity and improved truck access for agriproducts requiring temperature controlled care
A strong export program for agricultural products through the Southeast is essential to the stability of the agriculturaleconomic base of the region Farmers and food processors must examine the saleability of their product beyond traditional domestic markets Foreign trade promotion agencies must perform the analyses that will enable them to connect US producers with potential buyers abroad Inland transportation concerns and waterborne terminal operators must provide systems and equipment that guarantee minimum adverse impact on the producers delivered price quotation We at Georgia Ports believe that the move toward the exporting of agriproducts is intelligent unavoidable and growing daily We intend to be prepared to execute our responsibility to these shippers

What we did for shipping were doing for service
Total United States agricultural exports for 1980 rose by 27 over the previous year while Georgias agriproducts exports grew at an even more impressive rate of 36
The International Outlook In the last 20 years the capacity of the nations of the world to meet their domestic food needs has dropped from 98 to 90 Given soaring energy costs and the general downturn in world economic conditions it seems unlikely that most countries particularly the developing ones will be able to significantly increase agricultural production
The implications for the United States are obvious As the leader in food production and agritechnology our role as an international supplier will continue to grow Fiscal year 1980 statistics indicate that the trend is already well established Total US agricultural exports reached 405 billion in value This represented an increase of 85 billion or 27 over the previous year The
Thomas T Irvin Commissioner
Georgia Department of Agriculture
US share of total international agricultural trade rose from 14 to over 18 during the decade of the seventies and now stands in the neighborhood of 20 Total world volume now exceeds 200 billion
The ability of the US to produce farm products far exceeds its per capita share of world population There is every reason to believe that production and population conditions abroad will dictate increased demand for our services Thomas T Irvin Georgias Commissioner of Agriculture summarizes the trend Down the road were going to become more and more involved in supplying the world food market Commissioner Irvin possesses a keen interest in the subject because his state will be making a significant contribution to US exports
Agribusiness in Georgia In FY 80 Georgia agricultural exports grew at an even faster rate than the impressive 27 recorded by the country as a whole Dollar value rose from 554 million the previous year to 753 million for an increase of 36
Georgias participation in the overall US export surge is attributable in large degree to the mix of agriproducts which emanate from the state US DA officials point to the popularity of 5 major crops soybeans
The Agricultural Extension Service conducts a wide range of research at top A

coarse grains wheat cotton and rice as being critical in our countrys recent success These five account for 63 of total US export value The chart below showing Georgias top money exports clearly indicates the state participates heavily in production of these commodities
A reflection of Georgias stature in the US agribusiness community involves the recent announcement that the first National Association of State Departments of Agriculture NASDA food show will be staged in Atlanta in May of 1983 It will be the
biggestever food show in this country and is expected to attract some 1000 buyers to view exhibits from 700 firms from all 50 states Dubbed the NASDA National Food Agricultural Exposition it is designed to spur farm exports by enabling foreign buyers to sample a large selection of US goods The event will be repeated every two years The fact that Atlanta has been selected for the inaugural show indicates that Georgia is perceived both domestically and internationally as an agricultural and business center

There are three primary components to the makeup of Georgias agricultural economy today The traditional crops cotton corn peanuts chickens and eggs provide the sound basis for a booming export market Peanuts have historically been a major money crop for Georgia farmers although last crop year was a disappointing one Poultry products remain one of the most stable and predictable products and overseas shipments are booming A series of poor yields on corn have only slightly dented planting optimism
for that crop A growing worldwide cotton shortage has accelerated demand for the crop particularly in those warm weather areas where population growth is most pronounced
Much of the recent growth in export volumes has come from several crops which are relative newcomers to the Georgia scene The classic example is soybeans Soybeans went from an unknown crop ten years ago to probably the number one cash crop in Georgia again this year as it was in 1979 observes Commissioner Irvin As soybeans
emerged as a viable dry weather alternative to corn winter wheat grew in popularity based on the fact that it can be double planted with the beans Farmers found that this combination of crops provided them with excellent land utilization and cash return through a wider range of climate extremes A look at acreage dedicated to wheat clearly delineates this trend Three years ago some 200000 acres were planted last year the figure rose to 600000 and this year the figure reached the 1000000 mark Grain sorghum is another interesting growth
Georgia Ports Authoritys dry bulk facility has been handling dramatically increasing volumes of soybeans wheat and corn

commodity and is receiving much attention because of its hardiness and acceptability as a rotational crop with soybeans
Expansion of exports from Georgia is pursued along two lines There are a number of relatively popular crops which have not heretofore been exported in any large numbers Educational campaigns to inform producers as to the availability of overseas markets have been successful The second tack involves the identification of new crops or strains suited to cultivation in the state
Research and Development Georgia occupies a leadership role in agricultural research Leading the effort in the
Winter wheat harvests in Georgia continue to climb as more farmers resort to double cropping
state is the network of Agricultural Experiment Stations Their wide ranging activities include research into plants and seeds breeding and genetics irrigation and water usage multicropping pests and pesticides climate nutrition energy conservation agricultural machinery and many others William P Flatt Dean and Coordinator of the Universitys College of Agriculture summarizes the mission stating The overall mission of the Agricultural Extension Service is to improve the growing marketing and processing of Georgia grown crops and stock
A brief sampling of ongoing projects provides a keen insight into the diversity of the Extension Services activities It is important to note that many of the projects serve the interest of economy for the farmer as well as improved productivity
Development of improved electrostatic spray mechanisms to allow reduced application without loss of effectiveness Multiple cropping potentials Irrigation and water usage projects including development of strains with greater water stress resistance
Marketing studies to determine economic viability of various crops
Studies to reduce planting to yield time for peaches and other crops
Delivering the Goods
Barriers of distance culture language and currency make export sales far more difficult than domestic But a growing number of US farmers are finding the effort worthwhile A number of federal state and private concerns are heavily involved in connecting the producer with his potential market The US Foreign Agriculture Service operates
field offices which offer marketing services The Southern US Trade Association attempts to enhance exports from the region by assembling delegations to attend various domestic and foreign food exhibits Georgias university system provides detailed market feasibility studies to prospective exporters A number of cooperators such as the Wheat Soybean Growers and Peanut Councils coordinate export activities for common growers of their crop
Efforts to boost agricultural exports revolve around capturing a larger share of traditional markets or development of new ones In existing trades development officials stress the improved availability and superiority of the American product To develop new markets ongoing studies of population and economic patterns are conducted to identify prospective buyers
Transportation economics play a crucial role in determining the ultimate competitiveness of the American agriproduct The US in general and Georgia in particular are blessed with unrivalled physical rail and highway amenities Deregulation is certainly producing cost and handling initiatives among inland carriers that will work to the benefit of exporters of agricultural
Commissioner Irvin summarizes the importance of reliable ports observing The Port of Savannah is obviously very significant in that its our outlet to world markets The ability of Georgias ports to store and handle agriproducts and to entice reliable steamship service is critical to the ultimate success of the overall agriexport effort
In Savannah the dry bulk facility has readily handled the burgeoning flow In FY 78 bulk grain handled reached a total of 38000 tons as compared to 825000 for the 1980 fiscal year This surge has prompted the recent addition of a second truck unloading station Leading commodities handled through the facility were soybeans and wheat with some 90 originating in Georgia Large volumes of containerized agricultural both bagged and loose also
Corn and other coarse grains are common crops throughout Georgia
Grain sorghum is gaining increased acceptance as a money crop for Georgia farmers
pass across out terminal Our breakbulk facilities also regularly handle palletized bags of items such as peanuts and processed sugar The cold storage facility accommodates poultry meat fruit vegetables and other temperature controlled cargoes and will be more than doubled in size with construction to begin in FY 82
In Brunswick feed grains are already moving through the East River Terminal Volumes at that port city are destined to take a quantum leap with the construction of a 22 million dry bulk facility on Colonels Island
Crop Forecast
Despite the current world economic slump there is reason to be optimistic as to the future of agricultural exports The energy crush will limit the ability of developing nations to augment domestic production The supplyside economics of the current US administration should spark a US led recovery beginning next year Finally world demand is highest for 5 or 6 crops which are widely planted in the US
In Georgia the export picture looks even rosier 30 percent growth was obtained last year despite bad crop years for corn soybeans and especially peanuts Plantings this year are well ahead of last and the major crops are looking much better Calling last years imports of peanuts a onetime fluke Commissioner Irvin notes Well have plenty of peanuts this year Last years conditions have happened once in 26 years so the odds are against any recurrence He is equally optimistic about the prospects for other crops Wheat looks beautiful and most of the other crops are ahead of schedule he stated
Success in the long term will hinge on our ability to identify and deal with a number of competitive as well as agricultural contingencies Johnny Whitworth Director of the International Trade Division of the Georgia Department of Agriculture points to a number of potential obstacles including trade restrictions on the part of Western European nations technological advances in developed countries and the effect of the energy crunch on the buying power of some nations
Whitworth is equally confident that these

Scheduling calls for one of Jugolinijas containerships to visit Savannah every 20 days When vessel synchronization is optimized in the near future the rotation is expected to improve to 18 days Foreign ports called include Genoa Leghorn Naples Trieste Rijeka and Koper Export shippers will be particularly interested in the fact that Savannah is the last port outbound guaranteeing minimum transit times to the Med Company officials indicate that the SavannahLeghorn trip will take eight days
Jugolinija operates a total of four containerships in its East Coast Mediterranean service The two largest vessels will be calling Savannah the 900 TEU capacity JADRAN EXPRESS and the 1000 TEU

Jugolinija is eminently qualified to address the question of international trade through Savannah They began calling the port with breakbulk vessels nearly 30 years ago More recently their breakbulkcontainer combination vessels have done a bristling business across GPAs general cargo terminals Their experience and marketing analyses have convinced them that a move in the South Atlantic at this time would be a sound business proposition Those same factors made their choice of ports inevitable

FLEET
North American West African Line has added a sixth roll on roll off vessel to its fleet The MV SEKI CEDAR will join the other five in NAWALs USCanada West African service Overseas ports of call all located in the DakarLuanda range include Monrovia Abidjan Lagos Apapa Warri Port Harcourt Douala Owendo Port Gentil and Pointe Noire The vessel rotation will bring one of the RoRo vessels to Savannah every three weeks
The SEKI CEDAR measures some 400 feet and operates at a service speed of sixteen knots She is equipped with a starboard angled stern ramp with a capacity of 80 tons and is capable of carrying 400 twenty equivalent units of containers She is designed for completely selfsustaining operations on the African side carrying on board all required handling equipment The SEKI CEDAR joins the existing RoRo vessels the SEKI ROKAKO SEKI ROKEL KADUNA BLUE NAGOYA and the BLUE AKEISHI
In developing the Savannah steamship portfolio we have always been interested in providing flexible transportation for as many different types of cargo as possible
NAWALs vessels fulfill many of these requirements by themselves Their ability to carry roll onroll off container project and breakbulk cargoes in any combination has proven of tremendous benefit to concerns involved in the West African trades
Savannah cargo volumes have played an important part in NAWALs decision to add a sixth vessel according to officials of Strachan Shipping local agents for the line In addition to the many cargoes which have
traditionally moved along this route project and container movements are occupying a growing share of the market NAWALs fleet expansion lends substance to GPAs confidence in the future of the Savannah West African trade
MV SEKI CEOAR is the latest addition to NAWALs RoRo fleet

After Scraps of metal await shipment to steel mills for recycling
Automotive Recycling Company of Augusta has completed an experimental shipment across Georgia Ports Terminal in that city The commodity involved was two barge loads of scrap metal
Automotive Recycling operates a plant in Augusta on land leased from GPA located adjacent to the barge terminal The firm brings in wrecked cars and equipment form an area approximately 100 miles in radius encompassing parts of Georgia and South Carolina Larger units are processed through a shear which chops them down to a size suitable for shredding The shredder further reduces the scrap to its final configuration It is then shipped to metal producing plants for recycling
This particular shipment marked the first
barge move for Automotive Recycling The two barges became available for the trip down the river after unloading construction materials at Georgia Power Companys Plant Vogtle Total volume shipped was some 15001600 gross tons evenly divided between the two barges Automotive Recycling operating its own high capacity dumptruck required some 75 trips to move the metal from its storage yard to GPAs barge terminal Loading was accomplished by a mobile crane utilizing an electromagnet
The metal was destined for the Georgetown Steel plant in Georgetown South Carolina The barges were individually moved from Augusta to Savannah a trip of approximately 30 hours They were subsequently towed in tandem from Savannah
to Georgetown via the Intracoastal Waterway The barges are owned by Stevens Towing Company
Officials of Automotive Recycling plan to examine the economics of the move carefully to determine the feasibility of similar shipments in the future Harold Horvitz VicePresident of Addlestone International Corp parent company of Automotive Recycling observes This shipment was an experiment Future movements of this type are certainly a possibility particularly if a back haul can be arranged as was the case here All indications are that dockside handling and river movement went well and Georgia Ports shares Automotive Recyclings hope that additional business of this type will prove economically feasible

Zim Introduces
Precision
Service
Zim AmericanIsraeli Shipping Company has added a newly built container vessel to its North American Container Service The Zim Keelung represents the state of the art in containership design boasting diesel economy and a capacity of 1776 TEU She is the first in a series of three vessels scheduled for delivery within nine months
Coupled with the fleet expansion Zim Container Service has unveiled a completely revamped sailing schedule This Precision Service will establish regular biweekly frequency with fixed dayoftheweek calls at major Far East ports including Hong Kong every other Saturday Kaohsiung every other Thursday Keelung every other Monday Osaka every other Thursday and Yokohama every other Friday
Zim is attempting to rationalize its introduction of new tonnage into the trade according to Dan Siegel Sales Manager Imports for Zim Container Service Zim currently has the vessel numbers to permit an increase in service frequency However in view of
the tonnage levels now operating in the trade Zim has opted to ease into a higher frequency rather than just haphazardly throwing tonnage into the trade Siegel indicated that fleet expansion and provision of fixed day service were part of the first phase of Zims master plan The second stage upon acquisition of the full fleet will be to boost the frequency to something in the vicinity of ten days Siegel stated that he expects this move to be made at the beginning of next year when cargo volumes and vessel capacity in the
trade reach levels which will make the addition of sailings practical and responsible
Zim is combining the new fixed schedule with their traditional allwater economy to the Far East to provide shippers with a most attractive transportation alternative The 150 million modernization package underscores Zims commitment to provide a modern and economical fleet in the future an attitude that will certainly prove most beneficial to the Port of Savannah

The tug H R Parfitt named for the last governor of the US Panama Canal Zone was recently christened in Savannah Constructed by Thunderbolt Marine Industries the vessel will be subsequently delivered to Panama for Canal duty
The vessel possesses a unique propulsion system which is designed to give it the high maneuverability required to work in the Panama Canal Its unique cycloidal propeller system enables the tugboat to direct its thrust in any direction without changing heading This characteristic permits it to more readily maneuver larger vessels into confined channels and locks
The propulsion units are located twothirds of the length of the vessel from the bow They do not utilize a screwed propeller blade Each of the 40 ton units located port
and starboard has five blades mounted perpendicular to the vessels bottom The blades rotate on a horizontal disc similar to a paddle wheel lying on its side below the water The advantage of this configuration is that it permits almost instantaneous change in the direction of thrust The Parfitt can pull 80000 lbs forward or astern and 60000 lbs to either side
The tug fulfills a secondary mission with its firefighting capability On board equipment can deliver 1500 gallons of water and foam at 150 PS I by means of a selfcontained system driven by a 300 horsepower diesel engine The vessel is operated by a total contingent of five
H M Parfitt will soon be ushering vessels through the Panama Canal

TERMINAL SERVICES
Container Handling Innovation Since July of 1974 Terminal Services has been providing switcher tractors for container handling to all Savannah stevedores This unified fleet concept is unique to the Port of Savannah Terminal Services agreement with the stevedoring community guarantees the availability of a complete set of operating vehicles regardless of the level of berth field or shed activity
The arrangement provides several other advantages In other ports stevedores are faced with the choice of maintaining a large enough fleet to handle all situations or leasing additional equipment for peak periods contingent upon availability Terminal Services relieves Savannah stevedores of the financial burden of procurement and upkeep while meeting all operational needs Basically it allows every customer the assurance that he will have all the equipment he needs when he needs it observes Randall S Booker President of the firm He highlighted the success of the concept indicating that since 1974 there have been no substantial operational delays attributable to the nonavailability of the hustlers
Terminal Services offers centralized maintenance support from its shop located on the CONTAINERPORT premises Minor repairs tire changes etc are accomplished on demand In the event of major breakdowns replacement units can be made available in a matter of minutes
Innovative Flatbed
Based on its extensive handson experience Terminal Services determined some two years ago the need for a piece of carriage equipment that would complement Savannahs high speed container cranes Examination of existing types failed to produce a unit that could satisfy the companys severe operational demands One and one half years later the result was an innovative design for a lower sturdier flatbed which led subsequently to the construction of three prototype units
Terminal Services low profile flatbeds and hustlers move containers with greater speed and safety than ever before
Terminal Services flatbeds are an excellent example of the service orientation of the Port of Savannah
There are several outstanding operational and safety advantages to the trailers Cary Westerfield Vice President of Terminal Services explains The beauty of the units is that they give you a low center of gravity which allows better handling while reducing the tendency to roll or slide during turns The main rails are extra heavy duty while side rail construction incorporated 10 inch ship channel for extra support This sturdy construction permits handling of two twenty
foot containers without the substantial center deflection common to standard trailers The landing pads at the corners and at midrail are also heavily reinforced
From a safety point of view the operator can maintain a high turnaround level with greatly reduced risk of roll or slide A forward bulkhead prevents injury from a sliding container in the event of sudden stop or collision The oversized bed permits quick safe landing of containers by crane and toplift operators
Terminal Services flatbeds are an excellent example of the service orientation in the Port of Savannah The firm has identified a need and designed and procured

unique equipment to fill it After 120 days of testing the prototypes several design refinements were made and a dozen more units were obtained Terminal Services now boasts a fleet of 32 flatbeds of which 15 are of the new design Booker indicates that the entire group will eventually be the newer type as attrition dictates replacement
By offering stevedores an alternative to the high cost of purchase and maintenance Terminal Services established itself as an innovative force on the Savannah maritime scene in 1973 Their latest first shows they are continuing their important contribution toward keeping Savannah the first and foremost port on the South Atlantic

Pacific Caribbean Shipping USA Inc has announced the inauguration of a newly expanded service between Savannah and the Caribbean The service connects Savannah with Jamaica the Dominican Republic Barbados and Trinidad as well as a number of other ports on an inducement basis Previously Pacific Caribbeans vessels had been calling on an inducement basis only However strong volumes have prompted them to go to a regular scheduled service which will be provided on frequency basis of every 3035 days
The firm utilizes a fleet of uniquely designed dry cargoliquid bulk combination vessels The service will concentrate on the transport of forest products including lumber plywood and rolled paper Breakbulk cargoes must be capable of being totally
handled by forklift or clamp truck Tank capacity will be utilized for vegetable and fuel oils and other liquid bulks in both the north and southbound portions of the service
Savannahs traditional heavy flow of forest products has prompted Pacific Caribbean to solidify their service Currently three vessels are engaged in the run each named after a Philippine island They are the MVs Panay Babuyan and Palawan Island Officials of Strachan Shipping local agents for the line indicate that a continuation of the current growth trend could result in the deployment of additional ships into the service with concurrent improvement in sailing frequency

can be met and overcome and discussed several areas for improvement The dollars we spend in the future ought to be spent overseas in market identification studies Right now our studies are outdated to the extent that we dont know what the shelf prices overseas are he observed He also called for increased emphasis on the export of processed foods calling it the area of greatest potential for Georgia agribusiness
Bill Flatt Dean of the University of Georgias College of Agriculture reports that The 100 year climate comparisons are not promising He recommends close attention to the water problem and recommends We need to learn to use our ground water supply and use it judiciously only when and where we need it He also urged farmers to concentrate on drought resistant crops for the next three or four years
Flatt points to a research lag as having a potentially damaging effect on the American farmer He estimates that America has only 15 as many PhDs engaged in agresearch as does Russia He felt that America did retain an advantage in that many countries did not possess the free enterprise framework to get full utilization of their research data Nonetheless he felt enlargement of the US effort would be essential to continued success in the export arena
On a political note both Irvin and Flatt were quick to criticize the employment of the embargo Citing the recent Russian embargo as an example Irvin observed that they have the effect of driving customers to other sources He stated Were cutting ourselves out of a dependable contracted market This type of market puts a floor on production minimizing the effects of peaks and valleys Flatt called for a stable export policy without the threat of embargoes He characterized them as having a very negative impact on our international reputation as suppliers by hurting our credibility with our buyers
An examination of world food buying dynamics points to a promising future for American agribusiness While we cannot rest on our laurels it appears we have the technological financial and land resources to occupy an increasing role in this growing market Agriproducts exports which exceeded imports by 23 billion last year hold tremendous potential in terms of rectifying the disparity in our international balance of payments Georgias increased involvement in US exports is reflected in both its share of total volume and the increased diversity of crops leaving the state The agricultural infrastructure of the state equips it particularly well to continue to expand its role as a major contributor to US leadership in world agriproduct trade

PERSPECTIVE
George J Nichols
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
One product of our past administrations last economic summit was a promise to increase coal shipments to our allies With tremendous tonnage projections being forecast a predictable frenzy of coal related activity is in progress
Several ports have responded to the anticipated rush by rationalizing the need for 55 foot channels They claim that coal handling economics can be maximized only in those harbors which can accommodate the socalled coal colliers which would they contend require channel depths in this range
All of this attention has led to a deluge of legislation and proposals to restructure funding and permitting processes for harbor maintenance and development On the one hand ports seeking 55 foot authorization are calling for increased federal participation Three 55 foot projects currently proposed would cost in the neighborhood of 1 billion more than has been expended for harbor work in the history of our nation Besides the obvious tax burden severe limits would be placed on federal funds available for maintenance and improvements at our other US deepwater ports
Like many other ports Savannah and Brunswick have been the object of intense scrutiny by prospective coal exporting interests In our discussions with them we have found no support that would justify the dredging of 55 foot channels The conclusive evidence of this lies in the fact that Savannah Coal Port Inc has begun construction of their 110 million export facility It is projected that the annual throughput will reach 15 million tons and it will be achieved utilizing the existing 38 foot channel in the Savannah harbor
Simultaneously the austerity posture of the current administration has generated complementary housesenate bills which would transfer harbor funding responsibility
to the state and local level An alternate proposal involves a 100 cost recovery system whereby the federal government would recoup harbor expenditures on a port specific assessment basis
There are several lingering problems with both approaches A fee collection system tends to favor the few 100000000 ton per annum ports Per ton user charges in these higher volume harbors would be a fraction of those in smaller ones In ports such as Savannah and Brunswick where lower value bulk cargoes move in large volumes the effect in terms of transportation addons would be disastrous
A user fees system also tends to ignore the fact that harbor maintenance costs are not a function of cargo volume Many smaller ports have channels which are more difficult to maintain than the natural harbors of their larger competitors
The temptation would be to let the ports do battle for the cargoes and pay their own maintenance and development costs based on their success However the impact of such a position on our ability to trade internationally would be disastrous
The industrial development of the Sun Belt has been largely dependent on the availability of modern nearby port facilities to expedite the movement of raw materials and finished goods New firms have located in the area armed with export strategies which comprise large portions of their overall marketing programs Disturbance of the existing system of ports and port funding would eliminate the port and inland transport cost advantages they now enjoy They would become noncompetitive internationally and their ability to continue operations in this area would be in question
The established network of harbors in our country and the methods for funding their maintenance and development are well
proven The homogeneous development of all areas of our country has historically depended on the availability of a variety of ports Legislation and funding requests which would alter the balance to the advantage of a few would inflict economic dislocation on entire regions of our country Our dwindling stature as an international trader would be even further curtailed
We certainly agree that a careful examination of harbor funding and permitting procedures are in order Any recommendations for change must however take into consideration a the needs of all of our ports b the fact that they serve multistate hinterlands and c the role that each plays in US international trade Overseas business holds tremendous potential in terms of our countrys emergence from its economic slump If we are to continue to avail ourselves of foreign trade opportunities a viable network of properly configured and maintained ports is essential

T
Box Caribbean line which has been providing a regular fullycontainerized service between Savannah and the Islands of the Atlantic has announced the addition of another vessel to its schedule Since the service was inaugurated last March BCL has been offering sailings on a frequency basis of every 24 days utilizing a single vessel the M V Kathleen Addition of the M V Isla Del Atlantico to the rotation will permit the line to offer a fortnightly schedule Foreign itinerary for the vessels includes stopovers at the ports of Santo Domingo Dominican Republic Kingston Jamaica San Juan Puerto Rico and Port of Spain Trinidad
The MV Kathleen which inaugurated the service has a container capacity of 214 twenty foot equivalent units The second vessel the Isla Del Atlantico can accommodate 182 twenty footers BCL emphasizes direct service as its bottom line stressing the fact that at no point do they employ transhipment
Francois LeHoucq Director of Box Caribbean indicates that addition of a third vessel is under consideration Were such a move to be made it would be done in the interest of including other Caribbean ports on the run as well as providing additional sailings from those currently served
While no timetable for this further fleet expansion has been set BCLs success to date with the service make it a likely prospect A BCL company spokesman summarized his firms vessel deployment rationale stating We are more than happy to add this vessel to our fleet and to offer the increased sailing frequency she will permit in response to the heavy demand of our shipper friends and the success we have enjoyed because of their acceptance of our service We are contemplating adding more ships to our fleet as requirements dictate
Box Caribbean is an independent carrier In analyzing the success of this new service company officials point to its appeal to
smaller shippers The cargo mix crossing the docks in Savannah bears out their appraisal according to officials of Harrington Company local agents for the line They report a variety of consignments originating with small to medium sized shippers usually making up the total manifest
Trade between the US and Caribbean has historically moved through several traditional ports However as shippers have become increasingly sensitive to transportation cost addons particularly on the inland side the Port of Savannahs viability as a suitable alternative has grown Its proximity to the productionconsumption heartlands of
MV Isla Del Atlantico became the second vessel in Box Caribbeans new service She is shown on her first visit to CONTAINERPORT Savannah
the South and Midwest make it a natural funnel for goods moving to and from the island nations to the south Box Caribbeans addition of a second vessel is the latest in a series of service initiatives which carriers have taken with regard to SavannahCaribbean trade Obviously the cycle of shipper demand steamship service response is well established as representatives of both groups reach the same logical conclusion ship Savannah

Following the recent acquisition of several vessels US Lines has upped its total container capacity for its SavannahFar East service The vessels which were acquired from Farrell Line were reconfigured to make them better suited for use along this particular trade route
The two ships which have been introduced into the lines Far East service are the M Vs American Marketer and American Merchant They replace 2 Lancer class vessels which were reassigned The older class each possessed container carrying capacities of 1234 TEU The Marketer and Merchant can accommodate 1396 twenty footers apiece an increase of 13 per vessel
US Lines was one of Savannahs original containership operators having deployed its first vessels here the year CONTAINERPORT opened in 1973 The line has a total of eleven ships engaged in the Far East run with an overseas rotation which includes Balboa
The MV American Legacy is a regular visitor on US Lines SavannahEuropean Continent service
Honolulu Guam Kaohsiung Hong Kong Kobe and Yokohama Savannah is the first inbound port of call on the US end of the itinerary Fixed day of the week sailings are offered with arrival and departure on Thursdays
In addition US Lines operates a regular Savannah European full container service It also provides fixed calls with Friday night arrivals and Saturday sailings The four vessels on the route call Rotterdam Bremerhaven and Le Havre on the European side
Savannahs CONTAINER PORT explosion is rooted in the frequent reliable service provided by its established carriers US
Introduction of newly acquired vessels into its Far Eastern run resulted in unusual simultaneous calls of US Lines vessels the MV American Marketer right and American Trader left
Lines experience worldwide and in Savannah in particular is of immense value to shippers utilizing the port The shippers ability to factor in transportation costs based on accurate knowledge of arrival times and weekly availability of steamship service can make the difference in securing an order US Lines proven reputation has been good for the Port of Savannah Their decision to increase capacity would seem to indicate that the feeling is mutual

The dry bulk handling complex at Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick Terminal will receive a major boost with the impending addition of a specialty ship unloader The 21 million piece of equipment is currently being erected with work proceeding on schedule toward the September 1
completion date
Currently ship unloading operations are being accomplished utilizing a bucket attached to the existing gantry crane at the terminal The configuration while achieving a satisfactory throughput rate of 200 tons per hour cannot keep the conveyor network operating at its 500 ton per hour capacity
The new unloader will more than satisfy this requirement Its 7 34 yard bucket can scoop and deliver bulks at rates up to 700 tph depending on the commodity density This expanded capability will guarantee optimum utilization of the conveyors at design capacity
The new unloader also exhibits some important versatility characteristics to go along with its speed It doubles as a breakbulk crane and is capable of handling lifts up to 15 tons at outreaches up to 73 feet This design feature will make it particularly well suited for

Recent months have not been banner ones in terms of international trade The pervasive economic downturn has had a predictable effect on the water transportation industry Reduced service belt tightening and even business failure have been the rule of the day among manufacturers carriers and terminal operators alike
Despite these factors the Port of Savannah once again managed to record substantial growth While 1980 tonnage totals have not been finally calculated reliable estimates indicate that the numbers will be in the vicinity of 15000000 tons This represents an increase of 11 over 1979
A number of factors have contributed to Savannahs ability to succeed in the face of generally negative economic circumstances Savannahs reputation for service excellence has stood it in good stead as corporate traffic officials and carriers attempt to identify the most cost effective ports
Savannahs status as leading international commerce port on the South Atlantic range continued to attract the attention of new shippers Finally the diversity of cargoes crossing Savannahs docks helped offset the effect of slowdowns in isolated industries An examination of each mode details the significant developments of the year
The addition of eight major full container services helped to guarantee the vitality of CONTAINERPORT Savannah Increased demand for storage space led to the paving of 20 additional acres bringing the total to 115 acres backing up the three berths
Capacity for temperature controlled containers was increased by 52 slots to a total of 182 In addition all units were equipped with a revolutionary oneofakind ground fault monitoring system The outlets serve a twofold purpose
First they prevent injury by automatically checking the boxes for ground faults and preventing hookup when they exist Secondly they continuously monitor units for electrical failures which exist upon arrival or develop during storage Upon detection the unit activates visual and audible alarms to alert maintenance personnel eliminating loss of reefer cargo
Recently much of the attention to bulk cargoes has been focused on coal The era of Savannah as a coal port was ushered in with Southern Bulk Industries first handling of the commodity Corps of Engineers permits were issued for the Savannah Coal Terminal Inc facility to be operational on Hutchinson Island in 1983 In addition as many as five other groups are reported to be examining coal export alternatives through Savannah
At Georgia Ports bulk facility a disastrous year for soybeans caused volumes for that crop to plummet Some of the slack was taken up by the meteoric increase in winter wheat shipments which were up 480 over the previous growing year to a total of 87 million bushels Increasing grain deliveries precipitated the construction of a second truck unloading station Its addition halved the turnaround times while permitting simultaneous railtruck discharge for the first time The year saw the first shipments of midwestern sunflower seeds ever to pass through the facility
Georgia Ports crane capabilities were given a substantial boost with the erection of a 100 ton gantry at

Also at Ocean Terminal a second 200000 square foot warehouse was completed Another significant development in the breakbulk area was the opening of three export packers First time shipments of several breakbulks signalled regular movements of these cargoes across Savannahs docks Examples include 50 kilo bags of refined sugar fruit boxes and a variety of equipment such as ambulances used trucks and refurbished military equipment

growth particularly in the last six months was Koch Fuels Their local terminal reported sales increases in the 2550 range for their leading commodities 2 and 6 oil Their success has come despite the unavailability of their dock which has been out of commission for some time due to collision damage
Trade development efforts during the year in addition to attracting record volumes and diversity of cargo resulted in the addition of 24 new or expanded steamship services in the last 12 months The list included 8 full container 8 breakbulk 4 breakbulkcontainer combination 2 RoRo and 2 LASH services The geographic coverage provided by the group included the Middle East Far East Northern Europe Mediterranean West Africa North Africa South Africa South America and the Islands of the Atlantic
GPA trade development efforts were greatly enhanced with the opening of an Asian regional office in Hong Kong One of its primary areas of responsibility will be mainland China Since normalization of relations that country has been widely touted as a trading partner of major potential
Savannah entered the ChinaUS trade era during the year with the first export shipments of wheat and paper products to that nation More recently the first Chinese flag vessel to call the Port of Savannah in recent memory loaded some of this years wheat crop at GPAs bulk facility

Current Events
The single most important ongoing project in the Port of Savannah is Georgia Ports construction of a fourth berth at CONTAINERPORT The 225 million project includes a 1200 berth 40 acres of paved storage and 245 ton cranes It is scheduled for completion in the Spring of 1982
Paving of the storage yard will be completed by November 1 The wharf paving is already completed and this has permitted erection of the replacement for crane 109 to begin This replacement unit is expected to be ready just before the backup area is completed The net effect is that all four berths will be operational in November with four cranes By the Spring the two new cranes will be completed making a total of six available The replacement unit and the two new cranes will be equipped with curvecapable trucks enabling them to travel into any of the four berths This will allow placement of three cranes at any berth and six cranes on berths 13
Additional container parking is also being constructed adjacent to interchange area This twentyfive acre site combined with berth 4s forty acres will bring total storage capacity to 180 acres This excellent berthstorage ratio provides unrivalled marshalling and distribution capability for CONTAINERPORT
Immediately adjacent to CONTAIN ERPORTs berthing work is
Paving of the container berth 4 margin has been completed permitting erection of three new container cranes to

Grading of the container berth 4 container storage yard is on schedule toward the scheduled November 1981 completion of paving

The ongoing enlargement of the Kings Island turning basin will greatly facilitate navigation for larger classes of vessels
Long range plans call for a six berth CONTAINERPORT complex by the end of the decade
Expansion of GPAs cold storage facility will provide another 800000 cubic feet of marshalling space
proceeding on the enlargement of the Kings Island turning basin The completed basin will boast measurements of 1500 x 1600 feet and will permit turning of the largest classes of vessels at any tide stage It is expected to be finished on schedule in September
Down The Road
GPA marketing projections indicate steady growth in container volumes beyond maximum utilization of berth 4 For this reason plans include provisions for conversion of additional breakbulk areas at Garden City Terminal to CONTAINERPORT berths 5 and 6 This transition is expected to be complete before the decade ends
Savannahs breakbulk tonnages have continued an average 6 growth through the container era and all indicators point to the trend being a long term one For this reason it is necessary to recoup facilities lost to containerization The five year master plan for Ocean Terminal reveals exactly how this is to be accomplished
Slip 1 now in disuse because of water depth problems will be filled and covered The area will become a two berth complex with 200 foot margins backed up by a massive
800000 square foot transit shed
Four of the terminals gantry cranes ranging from 50 to 175 tons in capacity will access the new area A third new warehouse in the 200000 square foot range will be constructed adjacent to warehouse I
Berths 1619 will also feature a new look with the relocation of transit shed 19 A wharf addition will alleviate dockside handling congestion Three large tracts will be paved to provide 215 acres of backup storage for rolling stock steel and other open stowed cargoes Other improvements at Ocean Terminal will include relocation of maintenance and administrative facilities and provision of improved access roads Negotiations are in progress to acquire adjacent properties to accommodate future growth
At Garden City breakbulk improvements will include the construction of another 200000 square feet of warehousing
Demand for dockside storage of refrigerated cargoes has skyrocketed Georgia Ports response will take the form of a
40000 square foot addition to its cold storage facility The new wing will provide another 800000 cubic feet of space for commodities requiring temperature controlled housing as well as increasing simultaneous truck handling capabilty Land acquisition
19
alternatives are also being examined at the terminal
The major bulk commodity leaving the Port of Savannah is kaolin Utilized for paper coating among other applications the products export levels parallel those of forest products very closely The worldwide recession has produced predictable effects on both but promising economic indicators are creating optimism among producers
The grain export picture looks extremely bright Agricultural researchers agree that sufficient rainfall and improved planting procedures will result in a rebound for soybeans to 1979 levels and beyond Winter wheat is already moving at levels beyond last years records Total wheat exports through GPAs drybulk facility last year reached 87 million bushels Continental Grain officials indicate that in the last three days of May and the month of June shipments exceeded 6 million bushels Given the fact that the shipping season stretches through September predictions of 1314000000 bushels for this year seem conservative
Domestic conservation and large stockpiles will continue to have a limiting effect on petrochemical imports for the first part of the fiscal year Locally officials of Koch Fuels see their business continuing its increase particularly with completion of dock repairs The firm is currently refurbishing two of its existing storage tanks in anticipation of the trend

Firestone reports a slight lag in liquid latex imports primarily due to reduced demand from Georgia carpet makers However the comany is optimistic that the predicted world economic recovery will reverse the pattern Their confidence is reflected by their decision to introduce a third company built and owned vessel to the Savannah run in the near future The MV Harbel Tapper is another specialty liquid latexcrude rubber carrier which regularly brings these commodities to Savannah from Firestones African plantations
Issues
Analysis of issues pertinent to port development is critical to cementing Savannahs South Atlantic leadership role A few short years ago lack of a suitably configured turning basin was a much discussed problem Today resolution of the problem is underway Port interests must continue the process of informing appropriate agencies of needs and their prospective solutions
Firestone will soon be adding a third specialty rubber and latex carrier to its fleet
The unanimous choice for most critical current issue is the height restriction imposed by the Talmadge Bridge Recent movement constrictions have prompted several steamship lines to reexamine their Savannah service commitments Certainly others eliminated the port early in their deliberations precisely because of this obstacle
Currently the Georgia Department of Transportation is studying the feasibility of raising the bridge Georgia Ports has commissioned an economic impact study the results of which will be used as evidence in efforts to secure resolution of the bridge problem
Any remedy will be too long in coming between authorization and fruition Further delays will only bring increases in the number of new builds unable to negotiate the upper reaches of the harbor Simply stated the bridge represents a major and growing problem and the maritime community must step up efforts to eliminate it
The Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor Comprehensive Study will produce findings of tremendous significance to the Port of Savannah The status of disposal areas is being surveyed with an eye toward examining remaining life expectancy expansion of diking and identification of additional sites Georgia Ports utilization of spoil material for construction purposes has helped but filling of existing areas is inevitable and the problem must be dealt with well in advance
The study is examining deepening and widening needs in view of current and anticipated harbor traffic increases particularly among container and coal vessels The onset of the coal era will produce unprecedented vessel movements A primary goal of the widening will be to improve the safety of two way traffic The Corps of Engineers expects October authorization of funding to proceed with a detailed study on the much needed widening Coal and other bulkers as well as larger container vessels dictate the need for a similar analysis as to potential deepening For Savannah to continue its climb it must present for comparison a harbor whose physical characteristics pose no obstacles to its potential users
Considerations of southern industrialization strategic location service and others which catalyzed Savannahs rise remain in effect Expectations for the continuance of the trend have led to extensive facility construction Georgia Ports Authority the Savannah Pilots Association and many other maritime concerns are already training the people to handle volume increases
While most of the business world was wringing its corporate hands over a bad year the worst that can be said was that Savannahs growth was a little less good than previous years Eleven percent growth 24 new steamship services extensive equipment and facility improvements these are the signs of a vital dynamic port The Port of Savannah can hardly wait for things to get better

Georgia Ports capability to load and marshall bulk commodities was given a substantial boost by the completion of the second storage building at its bulk handling complex The 60000 square foot building brings total covered space available to 110000 square feet with a maximum capacity of 60000 tons The single integrated conveyor system which serves both buildings is capable of moving dry bulks at rates up to 500 tons per hour Bulk shippers quickly availed themselves of bagging facilities installed in Bulk Warehouse I Large volumes of fertilizer were delivered by railcar in bulk bagged and transferred to transit sheds for breakbulk export
The dockside portion of the bulk import process will achieve state of the art status with the ongoing installation of a specialty ship unloader This new equipment scheduled for completion in the fall will be capable of offloading from bulk carriers at a rate of 700 tons per hour It is equipped with an 7 yard bucket which can retrieve 15 tons of cargo with a single bite

Track mounting will enable the unloader to access any portion of the vessel The movable hopper which serves the dockside leg of the conveyor system can be simultaneously positioned guaranteeing maximum utilization of the unloader The price tag for the new piece of equipment is 21 million
Much of the bulk tonnage the animal feeds in particular is moved through GPAs newly refurbished transit shed I One end of the structure was outfitted with a hopper car unloading station and elevator to provide additional handling and storage capability for bulk cargoes This area is also equipped with a separate bagging production line
FY 82 and Beyond
The recent good health of the Port of Brunswick has been largely due to a careful program of construction of new facilities and rehabilitation of existing ones Marketing efforts have been directed at identification of significant trade patterns and shipper demands This information has been converted into long range plans for steamship solicitation and provision of appropriate facilities
To insure continuation of the growth trend additional facility improvements are already in the planning stages Engineering and design has already commenced on a third warehouse for GPAs dry bulk handling complex It would be located adjacent to the existing two and would increase overall storage capability by 50
The demand for breakbulk storage has grown as wood pulp and other forest products cross the facility in increasing volumes Plans have been drawn for an additional breakbulk warehouse to accommodate the increasing flow of these cargoes Construction on both is expected to being in FY 1983
The second flat storage warehouse brought total capacity to 60000 tons at GPAs Brunswick Terminal
The addition of a hopper car unloading station and elevator has made transit shed 1 an ideal setting for handling bulk edibles

A 30 foot channel will be dredged from the existing East River channel to the Colonels Island site
Year in Review Colonels Island
The construction startup on the SCM plant signalled the beginning of the long awaited development of Colonels Island The emplacement of this initial facility has already begun to attract inquiries from a variety of firms examining location alternatives The combination of site desirability strategic location and multimodal access are bringing the full utilization of the island closer to realization
SCM is constructing a 29 million organic chemicals facility on the 292 acre site Scheduled to become operational in January the plant will fraction crude sulphate turpentine into alpha and beta pinene These are further utilized to produce end products including camphene pine oil fragrances pharmaceuticals vitamins and cosmetics
Critical to any industrial development is the availability of ample reliable electric service Colonels Island recently received a major boost in this area with Georgia Power Companys completion of a new electric substation Located on the island the 11546 kilovolt station transforms 115000 volt current to
46000 volts for use by present and prospective industrial customers
The 17 million investment indicates that Georgia Power shares the Brunswick communitys enthusiasm for the development potential of Colonels Island
FY 82 and Beyond
Perhaps the single most crucial factor which has heretofore hindered the total development of Colonels Island has been the absence of a deepwater shipping channel
SCM is proceeding on schedule toward a January 1982 opening of its fractioning plant on Colonels Island
Georgia Powers recent completion of the Colonels Island electric substation assures ample power availability for industrial users
25
Next fiscal year Georgia Ports Authority will take a major step toward opening the island to the full range of prospective users This will be accomplished by dredging the much needed channel to join the existing East River channel which connects the Port of Brunswick with the deep waters of the Atlantic The 4 million project is expected to be completed in the Spring of 1983 and rapid development of the full 2100 acres of high land should follow quickly Port interests are hopeful that location of additional industry will generate increases in importexport volumes which will cost justify further deepening the entire channel network in the Port of Brunswick
Georgia Ports Authority will be contributing a major chunk of the international cargo crossing Colonels Island The seat of this activity will be a multiproduct dry bulk terminal Already in the design stage the complex is expected to be operational in late 1983 When completed it will be the most modern facility of its type anywhere boasting an impressive list of technical credentials
Handling systems will have the capability to load bulk cargoes at a rate of 1500 tons per hour The rail discharge station will be able to unload two cars simultaneously and feed their cargo directly to storage At the same time two more cars can be emptied and their contents transferred directly to waiting vessels
The facility will provide a full range of storage configurations for a wide range of dry bulks Silos will be provided for marshalling minerals such as various grades of clay fertilizers and fertilizer components sands and similar products Edibles such as gluten feeds peanuts meals etc will be housed in large covered flat storage buildings In addition open storage areas abut the facility on both sides to handle those cargoes which lend themselves to this type of storage Delivery of export bulks by rail will be made more fluid with the installation of a loop track around the area which can accommodate 120 rail cars
Colonels Island bulk facility site plan shows areas designed for berthing flat storage and container parking In addition open storage and expansion planning have been incorporated to accommodate future growth
A large rail marshalling yard and site access trackage are already in position on Colonels Island
Berthing and cargo handling gear will permit the servicing of all types of bulk carriers including full bulk bulkbreakbulk combination and bulkcontainer combination Parking areas are being provided for containers which are transported on deck by bulk vessels
GPA cargo solicitation efforts are serving to guarantee that the facility will be an economic as well as operational success from the day of its opening Negotiations with prospective users have led to projections of 80 utilization of total capacity shortly after activity commences Expansion capability was a design criterion The facility can be easily and quickly upgraded from Phase I capacity of 15 million tons per year to Phase II levels of 3000000 tons The Phase II configuration would include additional siloage and flat storage as well as a second berth Response to the proposed facility even during the germinal design stages has underscored the viability of Brunswick as a major bulk outport for the future
Expansion plans and capturing of new cargoes for existing facilities are the basis for the impressive tonnage projections shown on page 23 Georgia Ports Authoritys contribution to the totals for the Port of Brunswick will surge along two fronts First breakbulk and bulk tonnages at the East River Terminal are expected to rise to over 12 million tons annually by FY 87 Secondly by the 1984 fiscal year bulk cargoes will have begun crossing the Colonels Island dock in volumes approaching 1000000 tons
The emergence of Brunswick as a major contender for bulk and breakbulk cargoes will still be in its initial stages in 1987 Built in expansion capability on Colonels Island as well as the availability of sites for industry and open storage will perpetuate the growth cycle for some time Rising tonnages will certainly generate increased interest in the port among shippers carriers and industrial concerns If the adage Nothing succeeds like success carries any validity the Port of Brunswick is on track for a growth explosion through and beyond the decade of the eighties

UNITED ARAB SHIPPING
Newbuilds Planned
UASCO has recently announced the placing of the largest single newbuild contract in industry history The company has ordered nine 35000 DWT container ships with a combined cost of 400 million Each of the full containerships will have 1800 TEUs of container carrying capacity and all nine are scheduled for delivery in 1983 Hyundai Heavy Industries Company of Korea is the contractor
Since its absorption of Kuwait Shipping Company in 1977 United Arab has added 28 newbuilds to its fleet In addition 3 more conventional vessels
were jumboised and converted to 800 TEU containerships These latter vessels are currently engaged in the Savannah run
With the phasing in of the newbuilds in 1983 UASCO expects to reassign four existing 1400 TEU vessels to its USA service This will effectively increase per sailing capacity through Savannah by 75 United Arabs fleet acquisition and deployment strategies reflect the common denominator shared by UASCO the Middle East and the Port of Savannah growth
Reefer Containers To Savannah
United Arab Shipping has introduced its first companyowned refrigerated containers to the Port of Savannah Walter Caceres of Stevens Shipping local agents for UASCO discussed the reasoning behind the companys decision to deploy the units to Savannah The boxes were put here in preference to other areas of the country because we feel there is a very reasonable possibility of capturing cargo for them he observed Stevens is already reporting high utilization of the units with
Georgia poultry and Florida fruit juices being the primary commodities moving
United Arab operates a fortnightly full container service between Savannah and the Middle Eastern ports of Jeddah Dubai Damman Kuwait and Basrah A total of four vessels ply the trade for UASCO Three of these boast individual reefer capability of 100 TEU while the fourth has ten slots
United Arabs equipment utilization plans have brought the first of their refrigerated containers to the Port of Savannah

Contrary to popular opinion there are no major ongoing paving projects at GPAs Brunswick Terminal Actually that 5050toif pile of sand has been exported
The cargo which is properly known as flint sand was destined for Ecuador The shipper Florida Rock Industries indicates that this particular type of sand is utilized in glass production The consignment was transported by the Greek MV Junior
Officials of Florida Rock Industries have expressed optimism as to the likelihood of additional movements of this type They feel that when the consignee has determined that the entire shipment meets the standards of the samples already examined that future orders will be forthcoming Handling in Brunswick went exceptionally well and all indications point to an on schedule delivery in South America
The combination of a quality competitively priced product and economical efficient handling and transportation should lead to additional business in the near future Florida Rock anticipates that regular monthly shipments of similar or larger size may eventuate The initial movement of Florida Rocks flint sand adds another component to the Port of Brunswicks rapidly diversifying dry bulk portfolio

Almost every evening a passenger van leaves Washington Square in downtown Savannah Its route takes it along the south bank of the Savannah River traversing the long strip of steamship terminals that line the channel A little later the van returns to its starting point to discharge its newly acquired cargo a melange of seafarers from around the world
The haven which these men seek out is Savannahs International Seamens House It provides the sailors who visit the port with a comfortable setting to engage in a wide variety of social recreational and religious

PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF
CHINA
Trade between Savannah and the Peoples Republic of China has become fairly commonplace since the renormalization of relations several years ago Export cargoes of forest products and grains have been growing in size and frequency as China increases her involvement in international trade Until recently however all of the cargo had moved aboard third flag vessels
This barrier has now been broken with the recent visit of the Chinese flag vessel the MV Ming Hai Her call was the first by a mainland Chinese vessel in recent memory She tied up at Georgia Ports Authoritys dry bulk facility to load 36000 metric tons of wheat
The visit of the first Chinese vessel had become somewhat inevitable That country is attempting to increase utilization of its own
VESSEL
vessels in lieu of resorting to charters This coupled with burgeoning SavannahChina trade made the first call merely a matter of time
The vessel is owned by China Ocean Shipping Co Walter Caceres of Stevens Shipping local representatives of the line indicates that Savannah is destined for regular visits by COSCO vessels Paper and wheat are two commodities in which the Chinese have shown intense buying interest Because Savannahs hinterland generates large volumes of both future trade with China can only prosper
The visit of the Peoples Republic of China vessel the Ming Hai marked the first call by a mainland Chinese vessel in many years Here she is nestled into GPAs berth 62 to load winter wheat
MV Ming Hai makes her way up the Savannah River

A TOUCH OF HOME
numerous verbal and written thank yous the Umbreits have received certainly reflect the importance which visiting seamen attach to the house Perhaps an even more telling indicator is the volume of repeat business It seems that the list of returners grows steadily simply by virtue of the enjoyment the new customers derive on their first visit
The presence of the Seamens House has been something of a factor in overall port development Steamship lines considering ports for introduction or expansion of service weigh a number of factors in making their final determination Certainly any line has a vested interest in the total wellbeing of the men running its ships since it is no secret that contented employees perform better Therefore the availability of the Seamens House helps to make Savannah an even more desirable alternative to firms making fleet deployment decisions
The Savannah Port Authority was incorporated in 1843 and operated a Seamens Bethel for many years which was the predecessor of todays Seamens House With nearly 80000 crew members aboard 2500 ships visiting the port each year the traffic through the facilities has grown but the traditions have remained the same As the nearly 4000 sailors who availed themselves of the varied services last year can testify The International Seamens House makes Savannah a nice place to visit and an even nicer place to come back to

WHOS OX IS NOT BEING GORED
Lee di Paci
PUBLISHER
WWSWorld Ports
World Wide Shipping Guide Inc
Lee di Paci provides this months guest editorial as panel moderator for the XV Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
The diminishing share of the export market once enjoyed by United States manufacturers coupled with the mounting problems facing our maritime industry are pretty well recognized by both government officials and our business community There are unfortunately many different views on how best to resolve them
To mention a few of the more important situations which create problems consider todays high cost of doing business in this country the hidden inflationary factors which do not appear as such on accountants ledgers consider the restrictions inherent in the UStype conference system government regulations that impede attempts at innovation How about the lack of government regulation which does not protect our once viable shippershipping fraternity Thought about noncompensatory competition lately What of the problems being created by deregulation the UNCTAD code labor unrest quotas taxes raw materials international restrictions and pressures the price of oil adnauseam all impediments to the good times that always seem to be just around the corner
These issues though are so large and of such potential impact on our overall industry that they distract attention from the less dramatic but equally vital concerns threatening related branches of our marine transportation network As a result little attention is given to the crises facing ocean freight forwarders and customs brokers the NVOCC and the stevedore They literally pick up and deliver the vast proportion of general merchandise entering and leaving the United States
For example consider the question now before the Federal Maritime Commission whether a steamship agent who is also a freight forwarder is eligible to receive a commission as agent and brokerage as
This country first realized expansion and growth with oxcart movements westward Today we figuratively see our oxen dying with no cure in sight
forwarder This issue is vital to many longestablished firms along our coasts who would suffer serious losses if not bankruptcy should a rule be promulgated to prohibit this longstanding accepted practice
How about Treasury Departmentlicensed customs brokers who find themselves up against recent rulings by the Customs Service that permit virtually anyone licensed or unlicensed to act as a nominal consignee and file a customs entry for imported goods on behalf of the actual owner Broad application of such a rule would spell major losses for the entire customs brokerage industry What happens to the expertise brokers have developed over the years in working with Customs officials and the invaluable assistance they give Customs in the preparation of documents and the movement of inbound cargoes and what will the new rule do to the reliability of import statistics based on classification of the tens of thousands of imported articles What about protection from illegal imports of drugs and contraband and how will the new ruling if left on the books as is affect the collection of the almighty tax import duties
Speaking of legislative troubles how about the ocean freight forwarder now facing Congressional proposals that will require him to be bonded up to as much as 150000 if he wants to continue in business That program eliminates the licensing of forwarders and the protection that control provides to the shipping public by certifying that the person
or firm is fit willing and able to perform the duties of an ocean freight forwarder Again are gypsy or dummy forwarders lurking just around the bend in view of a measure that would allow a forwarder to have an interest in the shipment he is handling
Non Vessel Operating Common Carriers are growing in the classic way build a better mouse trap and take advantage of American free enterprise thus aware of the needs of lessthancontainerizedload shippers they found a way to fill that need and now that they are successful beyond anyones imagination The NVOs pose a threat to stevedores and others who have sizeable capital investments in pierside facilities and have guaranteed income clauses in their labor contracts They find a growing volume of freight is being consolidated offpremises with no income to them and no relief from labor Stevedores feel NVOs should be regulated and subject to the same Workmens Compensation Pension and OSH A requirements as they Not to mention I LA labor rates vs the cost of inland warehouse labor
Everyone has his problem and theres much room for improvement all around The Federal Government is the only one who can resolve most of these problems equitably American technology and business knowhow is there All anyone asks is fair treatment and some protection As for the USflag maritime industry per se there is reason to be optimistic All they want to hear is the nations economy is strengthened bunker prices are being held down currencies stabilized export movements expanded and regulatory amendments are pointing towards laissezfaire and ultimate efficiency

t was February 12 1733 when General James Edward Oglethorpe and 35 families from England left their small boats on the Savannah River and set foot on Yamacraw Bluff By nightfall Savannah the first planned city of the new world was sketched on the sands of Yamacraw and etched in the hearts and minds of the 114 colonists That same night somewhere in the colony of Virginia the boy destined to become the father of our country had not yet reached his first birthday
Oglethorpes mission simply stated establish a colony serve as a fortified buffer zone against nonEnglish intrusion to the northern colonies convert the heathen and export exotic commodities to Mother England
It would seem that survival alone would have been an adequate mission for the early colony Survive they did and in time exceeded the goals of their collective dreams that first night on Yamacraw Bluff
The first exports from the colony consisted of 23 skins 3 bottles of bears oyl and several parcels of Sea Root Rattlesnake Root Sasafras Cenna Root Shumack and Contrayerva Exotic exports they wanted exotic they got
Twentytwo years later 1755 it took 9 square rigged vessels and 43 schooners to carry Savannahs exports valued at 15744 pounds sterling to England
Five years earlier strict land laws governing the colony were repealed An action that marked the beginning of the plantation era
the mideighteenth century Georgias tidewater plantations flanked Savannah Caustens Bluff Deptford Brewton Hill Richmond Oakgrove Drakies Coleraine Raes Hall Brampton Royal Vale names befitting todays most prestigious historical fact or fiction are still topical in Savannah

former Whitehall Plantation
Consolidated from several tracts of land in the late 1700s by the Reverend Thomas Gibbons Whitehall soon developed into a successful rice plantation Rice production was a mainstay of the tidewater Plantations and principal crop of the colony for many years The second generation Gibbons William expanded his fathers landholdings to nearly 11000 acres
m
he Hermitage Plantation three miles west of Savannah was unique on the tidewater in that its economy was not based on agriculture The Hermitage originally named Exon by its land grant recipient was conceived as another silk production experiment Agriculture efforts at Exon were less than successful and the one hundred acre original tract had changed hands some three times by 1763 The third owners main claim to fame is that he switched from Exon and named the plantation Hermitage
In 1819 the Hermitage was purchased by Henry McAlpin an architect and builder
McAlpin cultivated rice in the lowlands of the estate and constructed on the higher ground a brickyard an iron foundry a rice mill and a sawmill A wharf was built along the river to receive raw material and ship his industrial and agricultural output
McAlpins brickyard was a prime source of the famous Savannah grey bricks In 1833 one million Hermitage bricks were purchased by the US government at 1150 per thousand to be used in the construction of Fort Pulaski at the mouth of the Savannah River
m
oday there is a great demand for Savannah grey brick but no manufacturer has come forth with an acceptable substitute Hermitage vintage greys when available are selling on todays builders market at 100 per each
The showpiece of the plantation was McAlpins home built of Hermitage plastered brick and lumber Consisting of one story on a basement entrance was gained by white marble double stairs which led to a columned entrance portico The roof was copper and English slate The front and rear were identical presenting excellent lines when viewed from the river or from the mile long oak lined landside entrance
At McAlpins death in 1851 his heirs continued the highly successful operation of Hermitage
The estate was vacated during the Civil War and not reoccupied until 1894 when McAlpins grandson restored the house and remained there with his family until the early years of the twentieth century
In 1935 Henry Ford purchased the long abandoned McAlpin home for ten thousand dollars The Hermitage was dismantled and reconstructed at Fords design on Fords Richmond Hill Plantation in Bryan County Georgia
On the Hermitage Plantation site today stands Union Camp Corporations Savannah plant the worlds largest papermill
Perhaps the most historically significant of the Tidewater Plantations is Mulberry Grove Located some 12 miles northeast of Savannah it was envisioned and planned to support the colonists bid for the silk industry with large acreage devoted to a mulberry nursery Although its name was derived from the mulberry groves its fame in the beginning came from its annual bountiful rice harvest
ill
ut Mulberry is best remembered by the historians as a home of Major General Nathaniel Greene of Revolutionary fame by the world as the site of Eli Whitneys cotton gin invention and by Savannahians for the mistress of Mulberry the tantalizing Catherine Greene

Following the Revolutionary War Mulberry Grove Plantation 2171 acres was presented to the noted leader of the Continental Army Major General Nathaniel Greene as a reward for his patriotic activities in Georgia Heavily in debt from his personal expenses and sacrifices in the war General Greene had but four years at Mulberry before his sudden death in 1786 Catherine Greene inherited all assets and liabilities
Many notable guests enjoyed the hospitality of Mulberry Grove including two visits by President Washington in 1791 and the young Eli Whitney in 1793 During his stay the problem of separating the seed from the cotton fibers was a constant topic of visiting planters Mrs Greene suggested that Mr Whitney resolve the problem He did The rest is history Ironically the cotton gin became a legal nightmare for Whitney with

drawn out court battles over patent infringements and he left Georgia in disgust to seek his fortune in other endeavors Old debts and the financial drain of the cotton gin experience proved too much even for Catherine Mulberry Grove was sold at auction in 1800 for 15000
hitneys cotton engine gin for short had set the stage for the coordination of King Cotton
The first recorded cotton exports from Savannah consisted of 8 bags not bales in 1764
By 1791 Georgia was producing 1000 bales annually A decade later annual production reached 20000 bales
Production had reached 150000 bales by 1826 Foreign exports of cotton climbed to 262000 bales in 1859 The following year the dollar value of exported cotton in Savannah totalled 172 million dollars 96 of Savannahs total exports
Cotton flowed into Savannah from all points Much of it coming down the Savannah River from Augusta moving on river boats drawing only two feet of water carrying 1000 bales at a freight rate in 1830 of 35 cents a bale Following the War
Between the States cotton recovered quickly tonnage climbed to prewar heights But by the early 1870s prices began to drop
ing Cotton retained its crown into the early years of the 20th century reaching its peak in 1912 when 2329000 bales moved through the Port of Savannah from points as distant as Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle
Naval stores and timber exports were on the rise but cotton was King and Savannah was the cotton port
Today port planners will tell you its dangerous to have too few commodities in your tonnage basket Yesterdays shipping executives were well aware of the deficiency in their commodity balance and efforts were begun to diversify the ports commodity mix
In 1935 cotton had all but disappeared at Savannah but that same year petroleum tonnage almost equaled the combined tonnage of cotton and naval stores in their years of heaviest receipts
The Port of Savannah today is the largest foreign commerce port on the South Atlantic Fulfilling the mission of the Trustees of Georgia since that 12th day in February 1733 the Port alone survives Georgias colonial past the mission shipping Georgia products to Mother England and we might add to all points in the free world

AnehorAge

Georgia Ports Authority has reached an agreement with Southern Railroad to purchase a large tract of land immediately adjacent to its Ocean Terminal in Savannah The 106 acre parcel is located south of the current boundaries The addition of this area will increase the terminals size by 71 percent to approximately 256 acres
GPA will utilize the land to expand its breakbulk handling capabilities It will be earmarked for purposes including warehousing open storage and facilities for maritime agencies which support the movement of breakbulk and project cargoes Close proximity to the waterfront makes the site ideally suited for marshalling heavy equipment rolling stock machinery and other components of large project moves Rail and road amenities will also be extended to serve the new area
Acquisition of the land will permit GPA to proceed with its modal consolidation efforts at its terminals During this decade plans call for Garden City Terminal to become the center for the handling of containers liquid bulks and grain Breakbulk operations will be consolidated at Ocean Terminal Brunswick will emerge as the focal point for dry bulks as well as selected forest products and other breakbulks The program is designed to maximize handling efficiencies by
Newly acquired land will permit the expansion of warehousing and open storage at GPAs Ocean Terminal
concentrating the different modes at the respective terminals
Many ports have experienced growth in container handling at the expense of breakbulk volumes This has not been the case with the Port of Savannah Savannahs container tonnages have multiplied 62 times since CONTAINERPORT opened in 1973 For the same period breakbulk levels increased at an average annual rate of 6 Savannahs hinterland generates and receives a variety of commodities which do not lend themselves to container shipment GPAs purchase of the land signals its conviction that future breakbulk business through Savannah will exceed the impressive volumes of years past
Savannahs ascent to South Atlantic supremacy was predicated in part on timely provision of facilities to handle diversified and increased cargo flows The planning which led to this purchase is representative of efforts to expand and perpetuate this leadership posture As the plans for the decade come to fruition shippers and carriers alike will find Savannah an even more logical answer to their transportation questions

PANEL DISCUSSES
Harbor maintenance proposals
The potential impact of proposed harbor maintenance funding was discussed by a maritime panel at a recent meeting in Savannah Sponsored by the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce the session was convened to apprise Savannah and Brunswick interests of the nature of proposed changes to existing funding mechanisms
Walton K Nussbaum President of the Savannah Port Authority discussed the Economic Impact of the Port and the History of Port Funding He described Savannahs 25 state hinterland and identified
16000 local maritime and industrial port user jobs resulting from port activity Nussbaum also pointed out the disparity between federal expenditures for harbor work and customs
revenues generated by the port placing 1980 collections at 116 million as compared to 10 year federal harbor improvement expenditures of only 95 million He reviewed local terminal investments placing 10 year expenditures at over 300 million He concluded by stressing the basic assumption underlying the undertaking of such improvements stating These investments have been made with the expectation of the continued federal maintenance of seaports
J Ron Brinson Executive Vice President of the American Association of Port Authorities was the next panelist He offered a Briefing on Proposed Ports Legislation Brinson emphasized the United States dependence on international trade Despite
this relation he sees an alarming trend observing Slowly but surely the government has been withdrawing from its traditional partnership role in harbor maintenance He characterized the US navigational system as at the threshhold of obsolescence
Brinson indicated that the proposals currently being backed by the administration involve recovery of all dredging costs from local assurors based on a system of user fees He indicated such a program would be

completely inconsistent with the realities of seaport development and would place undue hardship on smaller ports and those with particularly bothersome channel maintenance problems This program would set up an instant de facto federal interference with the competitive position of the ports Brinson further stated that the larger ports which would benefit from lower per ton user charges are obviously in favor of the proposition On the other hand he felt that it would have a devastating effect on smaller
ports and would place tremendous state and private investments in jeopardy He called upon local maritime interests to unite to make their wishes known characterizing the proposed changes as the most important issue ever confronted by our industry
He emphasized the need to consider the navigation network as a system not unlike the interstate system He cited the example of a nationwide flat rate gas tax for interstate construction despite the fact that
construction costs vary widely from state to state He called for the same philosophy to be applied to maintenance of the navigation system
Brinson observed that everyone involved agreed that changes to the harbor development and maintenance processes were in order but emphasized that the problems of all ports should be considered He particularly emphasized the need for streamlining the authorization of harbor projects to eliminate the 2025 year delay now

George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority discussed the Impact of Proposed Ports Legislation He offered some unsettling numbers to dramatize the disparate impact of straight user fees Based upon 1980 tonnages a charge of 80e per ton would have to be assessed in the port of Savannah to defray the cost of harbor

Nichols discussed the SavannahBrunswick hinterland and cargo mix and singled out several prominent commodities which would be hard hit by a program of user assessments Grain forest products and clay all carry a low value per unit weight with successful world trade often hinging on differences of fractions of a cent He indicated that disparate user charges would effectively eliminate their producers from competition
Nichols characterized the Sun Belt as the
growth center of the nation and outlined the critical role of the port system in that development He predicted that disruption of the port competitive balance could be disastrous stating Growth within our region as a whole would be seriously threatened He indicated that many firms success upon relocation to the South hinged on the viability of their export business He described the network of ports as a critical factor in the financial rationalization of their investments

BRUNSWICK SHIP UNLOADER OPERATIONAL
Brunswicks new specialty unloader flexed its mechanical muscle for the first time during roundtheclock discharge operations of the MV Giovanni Ansaldo
mm

m i
The newly erected ship unloader at Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick Terminal has passed its acid test with flying colors With the unloading of the Italian MV Giovanni Ansaldo the impressive piece of equipment exceeded handling expectations
The Giovanni Ansaldos cargo was some
12000 short tons of potash Point of origin for the shipment was Wisemar West Germany It was consigned to Royster Company for subsequent stateside redistribution
Technical specifications for the unloader include a 700 ton per hour conveyor feed capability It is equipped with a 7 yard bucket capable of lifting up to 15 tons of bulk cargoes Breakbulk cargoes particularly forest products can also be accommodated for lifts up to 15 tons at outreaches of 73 feet The price tag for the new machine read 21 million
The unloader feeds a portable hopper which in turn funnels the product onto a 500 ton per hour capacity conveyor system The belt crosses the roof of the transit shed to two bulk storage warehouses possessing a combined area of 110000 square feet and capacity of 60000 tons
Development of Brunswick as the definitive most technologically advanced bulk port on the East Coast is continuing on schedule Additional bulk warehousing at the East River Terminal will accelerate throughput of import bulks in future years Transit shed 1 has become the center of increasing movements of export feeds and minerals A 22 million dry bulk complex to be constructed on Colonels Island will more than double total port tonnage by decades end The thrust of this comprehensive program is quite simple to make the terms Brunswick and bulk cargo synonymous

PHOSROCK
Record Pulp Shipment
Forest products comprise a significant segment of the Port of Savannah export picture However one commodity within that group has rapidly become a major import item The cargo in question is eucalyptus pulp
The pulp has been arriving regularly from South America Per vessel consignments have been steadily increasing and recently a record for a single visit was established when the Liberian MV Brazil Venture discharged some 22000 tons of the product Previous shipments had been running in the 1217000 ton range
The MV Brazil Venture discharges part of her record shipment of eucalyptus pulp at Ocean Terminal
The new record may not stand for long according to officials of Southeastern Maritime Company agents and stevedores for the vessel They indicate that the charter vessels will continue to call on a 45 day frequency basis However SEMCO anticipates Savannah discharges will continue to increase in size ultimately rising to 2527000 ton per call range
The eucalpytus pulp originates in the expansive Brazilian forests Aracruz Celulose S A ships the commodity to the U S where it is used in the production of a number of goods with disposable diapers heading the list From Savannah the pulp is distributed to a number of different inland destinations
The availability of the Ocean Terminal berths 1 and 2 complex was instrumental in attracting this cargo Refurbished several years ago it affords 1178 linear feet of berthing space The spacious 57 foot wide margins provide a total of 67000 square feet of open
Captain Rolf Larsen center Port Operation Manager for Aracruz Celulose SA was in Savannah to monitor pulp discharge operations Here he accepts a Port of Savannah Waving Girl welcoming gift from J B Rollison left GPA Director of Operations and B Richard Field Director of Trade Development for Georgia Ports Authority
dock service space Gantry rail tracks and double rail sidings are provided for the length of the berths for shipside rail service
The transit shed at berths 1 and 2 provides clean dry secure welllit storage with extremely high cubic capacity The arrangements of bays and support structures assures maximum utilization with easy access to all storage locations The parallel layout of the shed permits hatch contiguous loading and discharge operations to speed vessel turnaround times The
170000 square foot structure is equipped with a 20 x 825 foot covered loading dock to facilitate truck and railcar handling at platform height
Backing up the complex is a
200000 square foot newly built warehouse This stateoftheart structure is abutted on one side by a full length canopied double rail siding The opposite side boasts 18 platform height truck bays equipped with weatherproof truck dock seals
Service and facilities are the combination that have made Savannah the leading foreign commerce port on the South Atlantic Aracruz Celulose SA obviously agrees and is backing its commitment with increasing shipments shipments
Chicken feed has become a commodity which crosses GPAs Brunswick T erminal with increasing regularity Recent improvements to TShed 1 coupled with Brunswicks diverse dry bulk handling experience have made it a natural outlet for such movements Until recently however the business has been outbound only
Exports of animal feeds have been moving through Brunswick to the Islands of the Atlantic approximately twice a month The availability of the charter vessels carrying these consignments recently attracted the first inbound shipment of phosrock
MV Carib Dawn discharges the first shipment of phosrock at Brunswick She subsequently loaded chicken feed concentrate for transport to the Islands of the Atlantic
Phosrock is a feed grade phosphate used in the poultry industry The product was imported from Curacao for H J Baker Brothers of New York and was destined for dealers and distributors in the Southeast The shipment totalled 3000 short tons and was delivered by the charter vessel Carib Dawn Subsequent to discharging the phosrock she loaded chicken feed concentrate for the return trip to the Caribbean
A second shipment of import phosrock is currently being negotiated Baker Brothers is testing the market to determine if a regular semimonthly inbound movement can be established to coincide with the export itinerary already in existence By attempting to avail itself of the vessel rotation in effect for the outbound feeds the firm hopes to maximize transportation economics for itself and the carriers alike

Tony Demas will head the new firm He outlined several points which will be emphasized in selling the new facility We will place a heavy emphasis on the cleanliness of our warehouse trying to appeal to shippers who demand low contamination he noted He also stated that Coastland will offer order selection capability and will emplace a storage rack system in the warehouse to expedite provision of this service All administrative processing inventory and billing will be accomplished via a centralized computer system The computer can also accommodate direct linkage with remote terminals in customers offices This arrangement permits immediate transaction entry and status inquiries

PANEL DISCUSSES
continued from page 21
enlargement of several turning basins and widening of the channel to facilitate unrestricted twoway vessel movement
Peeples discussed the need to develop more spoil areas for future dredging He called for removal of the Talmadge Bridge and replacement with a tunnel which would permit deepening to a minimum of 55 feet Peeples underscored the need for regular overdredging to the 2 foot allowable limit to permit constant maintenance of the channel at the 38 foot project depth
Peeples cited the lack of riverfront land available and proposed a two part solution First he stated that no more port land should be taken out of inventory for other purposes Secondly he espoused elimination of the Houlihan Bridge to permit development of the upper reaches of the harbor Peeples concluded with a call for strong port informed and oriented leadership in local government to back maritime interests in their pursuit of port development
The final speaker 1st District House Representative Ronald Bo Ginn predicted that The 97th Congress will not buy this abrupt change in the way we fund port projects in their country He stated his belief that there is no need to fix something thats not broken and that our port funding system is not broken He gave another reason for his opposition to wholesale changes stating The time is not right in view of our economic circumstances to add an additional cost to our ability to do business with the other nations of the world
Ginn revealed his intention to personally appeal to the President to modify his stance He predicted that legislation of some form particularly in the area of fast tracking the permitting process would probably be forthcoming particularly in view of the fact that no water resources bill has been passed in 5 or 6 years He affirmed his intention to take a stance against the current proposals and called on those present to apply their resources to buttress his efforts whenever possible
The speakers agreed that the proposals being bandied about constitute a monumental threat to the US port way of life A consensus existed that such legislation would have a disparate and disastrous effect on the smaller ports and the extensive hinterlands they serve The closing question and answer session reflected the concern of those in attendance Later discussions among the audience seemed to predict that the session served as the Chamber of Commerce had hoped as the impetus for the development of a unifed effort to promulgate the definitive position of the Port of Savannah with regard to the legislative proposals under consideration

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
s the year draws to a close we find ourselves reviewing the people and events that made it unique But at this holiday season it seems somehow inappropriate to catalog them
More prominent in our thoughts are the many interpersonal dealings we have shared with our friends and customers Perhaps the greatest benefit of being involved in the transportation industry is the privilege of experiencing the rainbow of individuals involved in world trade
But beneath the cultural geographic and language differences that characterize our world there are obvious similarities These common bonds hold the key to the attainment of our mutual holiday wishes for peace and joy on earth
High on the list of common purposes are the desires for security and prosperity International trade is proof positive that these can be pursued across international boundaries to the ultimate benefit of all involved Every area of the world possesses its own raw material port
folio The agricultural and manufacturing capabilities of every nation produce an array of goods with global marketing potential
At the same time no nation possesses total selfsufficiency The job of the world businessmen is to translate needs and surpluses into importexport packages which will assure his nations vitality
We have proven our ability to work together toward security and prosperity We must extend the lessons learned through international trade to our pursuit of world peace and harmony
We at Georgia Ports look forward to 1982 with a keen anticipation of the new relations we will begin and the established ones we will refresh We extend our best wishes to our many friends for a joyous holiday season and a peaceful and prosperous New Year

SPECIALIZING IN FLATBED CONTAINERIZED CARGO TRAFFIC

Berth 4 located immediately adjacent to existing COINITAINERPORT facilities bring total continuous berthing to 3675 feet
Georgia Ports Authoritys ability to handle Savannahs burgeoning container traffic has taken a major step forward with the opening of the fourth berth at CONTA1NERPORT Its completion will enable G PA to render more complete diversified service as well as providing growth space for the many new lines which have expressed interest in the port
A brief rundown of its physical characteristics indicates that it represents the latest in port engineering At 1200 feet it is able to accommodate the larger generations of containerships now coming out of the yards CONTAINERPORT maintains its excellent berth storage ratio with the 40 acre container yard backing up berth 4 Allcement construction to a thickness of 14 inches assures stability for equipment chassis and landing gear COFC and TOFC shipments will be expedited across the rail siding located on the berth
To provide full crane coverage for CONTAINERPORT a fourth unit has been tested and accepted Replacement of a crane which was damaged earlier this year was expedited to allow its completion to coincide with the opening of the new berth Like its sister cranes
it boasts 45 ton capacity and an average cycle time of 90 seconds Container crane 4 has been equipped with curve capable trucks to permit it to traverse into berths 13 as well
By the spring of 1982 two additional cranes will be added to the complex These will be equipped to transit the entire berthing area as well Their flexible truck configuration will ultimately permit placement of six cranes along berths 13 and three cranes at berth 4 Per unit cost on the new cranes reaches nearly 5 million but the return in terms of speed and reliability more than justifies the cost particularly in our customers eyes
An important feature of the new berth is that it is located immediately adjacent to the existing CONTAINERPORT complex GPA has found that consolidation of facilities by mode produces considerable advantages Centralizing inventory and control under a single management umbrella improves accountability reduces onterminal handling expenses and speeds vessel turnaround all to the cost advantage of shippers and carriers
GPAs cold storage facility located dockside in the heart of berth 4 is the centerpiece of
GPAs expanding capability for handling temperature controlled cargoes Currently the
84000 square foot building can accommodate approximately 672000 cubic feet of chilled and frozen goods Expansion plans call for increasing the size of the facility by two and onehalf times The project will also include construction of a large covered platform which will increase truck handling volume and efficiency The addition to the plant will be built
The picture tells the story Newly erected crane four is ready to lower the boom at Container Berth 4

GPA recently added 52 hookups for refrigerated containers in the berth 3 storage area This brings the total number of reefer slots to 182 Each is now monitored by a unique ground fault sensing device GPA designed and contracted it is the only system of its type in use Essentially it checks refrigerated containers for onarrival defects and those that develop during storage and activates visual and audible alarms when they occur The unit also aborts hookup when shock hazards exist The Ground Fault Monitor provides a total package of personnel safety and cargo protection
Inventory and billing information will of course be centralized in the GPACCS computer system This series of programs accounts for the whereabouts transaction history and charges assessed for each container from arrival through departure US Customs operates a direct computer link to GPACCS permitting scientific selection of boxes for inspection and instantaneous release without exchange of paperwork of those not chosen GPA has extended on line connection capability to local maritime agencies and the list of those participating is growing daily Their ability to make status inquiries and issue orders and releases via remote terminal enables them to be more responsive and accurate in serving their customers

SAVANNAH

Hi
The SS Savannah was the first steam powered vessel to cross the Atlantic The NS Savannah was the first nuclear powered cargo vessel to ply the worlds trade routes Since the latter was deactivated there has been no merchantman bearing the port citys name in regular service
Zim Line has remedied that situation with the launch of their new fullcontainer vessel the Zim Savannah Recently she visited her namesake port on her maiden voyage
The Zim Savannah was one of three newbuilds which Zim has introduced into its IsraelUnited StatesCanada Far East run The three join seven other vessels which had already been working the route Zim is offering biweekly service with fixedday of the week calls at Far Eastern ports Overseas stops include Haifa Piraeus Naples Leghorn Genoa Fos and Barcelona in the Mediterranean and Yokohama Osaka Kaohsiung Hong Kong and Keelung in the Far East In addition the line has recently expanded its Mediterranean service by adding Alexandria as a regular port of call In so doing Zim became the first carrier to accept container cargo to Egypt on a regular basis
The first of the new container vessels was the Zim Keelung The Zim Barcelona the last of the three is scheduled for delivery in early 1982 Zims existing seven ship container fleet boasted individual container capacities of 1600 TEUs The Savannah and her sisters can each accommodate 1776 twenty footers They measure 691 feet and operate at a service speed of 21 knots
A prime consideration in Zims decision to increase tonnage was the resultant ability to schedule the fixed Far Eastern calls Obviously this provides guarantees which are of prime importance to shippers and consignees in their scheduling and costing processes
The strengthening of the US dollar against European currencies has produced a predictable decrease in US exports to the Mediterranean Zims routing diversity has enabled the line to offset this impact by
George Nichols left GPA Executive Director presented a Waving Girl print to Zim North America President Eliezer Steinbuch at shipboard ceremonies Looking on were Zim Savannah Captain Y Metz 2nd from left and Savannah Mayor John Rousakis right

garnering increased cargoes to and from other areas along their trade routes They view isolated trade slowdowns as stimuli to increase their sales in other regions Their confidence in their ability to do so is evidenced by their decision to increase their tonnage commitment in this highly competitive trade
While Zim Container Service is the major component of the lines Savannah operation it is not the only one Zims North America Service utilizes five new semicontainerships to provide biweekly service on a rotation which begins with the major Italian ports FosMarseille and Barcelona to North America and returning to Haifa and Ashdod Each of the vessels can carry 450 TEUs of containers and has 500000 cubic feet of space for breakbulk cargoes
The two services provide an integrated comprehensive schedule which underscores Zims commitment to allwater transportation Zim deemphasizes minilandbridge and microbridge services in North America in favor of this more responsive and economical alternative
Anchor Age
High wide and handsome the Zim Savannah cut an impressive figure on her first visit to CONTAINERPORT
Zim has developed one interesting bridge variation which has proven particularly interesting to shippers and receivers of US inbound boxes The Reverse Microbridge provides for Savannah discharge of containers consigned throughout the South and particularly Atlanta This burgeoning transportation and distribution hub which is experiencing daily growth in cargo volumes is located only 250 road miles from Savannah the most proximate port Zim officials report that since the firm began offering through bills of lading to Atlanta demand for the Reverse Microbridge has skyrocketed
The ZimSavannah partnership dates back to 1956 It has prospered through the years because of a mutual commitment to service and innovation The Zim Savannah is the latest proof that the relationship is continuing to do quite well
Zims shipboard reception to mark the maiden voyage was well attended

EXPANDS FLEET
Firestone has added a second specialty rubber and latex carrier the MV Harbel Tapper to its fleet The second in the Harbel class following her sister ship the Harbel Cutlass she visited Savannah on her maiden voyage She discharged her cargo at Firestones local storage and distribution facility located on the premises of GPAs Ocean Terminal
The Tapper was christened in March at Koyo Dock Yards in Japan Like her sister ship she measures 461 feet in length She can accommodate 4000 tons of liquid latex in 14 selfpumping tanks In addition three cargo holds one tweendeck and 72 container slots provide a total dry cargo capacity of 5800 tons
Firestone brings rubber and liquid latex to Savannah from its plantations in Cavalla and Harbel Liberia the latter being the worlds largest rubber plantation The combined plantations comprise over 10 million rubber trees spread across 90000 acres Last year their production exceeded 100 million pounds
The rubber coming into Savannah is
earmarked primarily for tire plants throughout the South The liquid latex generally finds it way to carpet plants where it is used as a backing material Other applications include dipped goods such as surgical gloves tubing catheters boots and balloons as well as adhesives
The Singapore registered MV Mahonia recently made her first call to the Port of Savannah She visited in the regular rotation of Medafrica Lines SavannahWest Africa run The monthly service calls the African ports of Lagos Port Harcourt and Abidjan as well as a number of others on inducement
Like Medafricas other charters the Mahonia accepts both breakbulk and containerized cargo up to 120 TEUs
MV Mahonia makes her maiden call for Medafrica at Ocean Terminal
Generally their vessels load linerboard and containers as outbound base cargo from Savannah Other breakbulks and machinery regularly appear on the manifest as well The Mahonia fit the pattern well loading linerboard 20 foot containers and several tons of miscellaneous general cargo Smith Kelly are local agents for the line

Federals 20ton yard crane will speed steel on its way inland
of Federals biggest selling points is offering many of the more common sections in 2lA foot multiples A few Firms offer 5 foot increments and some offer tens but Federal is the only distributor to offer the smaller breakdown This provides an obvious cost advantage particularly to lower volume users
A measure of Federals confidence are their staffing projections Bass plans to have ten employees within the short term with approximately twenty within six to eight months The contingent will include field personnel as well as possible additional sales staff Among the group will be a crane operator who will man the 20 ton straddle crane which will perform yard handling
Federals mailing address is Federal Pipe and Steel Corporation PO Box A Savannah GA 31408 Their telephone number is 912 9648520
Savannah is becoming a major center for portlocated distribution centers Increasing numbers of importers are finding that the inland transportation economies associated with dockproximate warehousing are irresistible Federal has already availed itself of the steamship scheduling handling highway and service amenities afforded by the Port of Savannah Now theyve sharpened their corporate pencil and determined that the port is also their most cost effective distribution alternative
AnchorAge
Savannah has long been recognized as a leading import center for steel products The ports reputation for providing top notch handling equipment and facilities has attracted the attention of numerous shippers and receivers The latest addition to the port citys steel distribution network is Federal Pipe and Steel Corporation
Federal has established an import distribution center at Georgia Ports Garden City Terminal From its 55 acre site the firm will distribute imported structural shapes throughout the US southern rim Greg Barr local Sales Representative for Federal describes the targeted market area as from as far north as Kentucky and Virginia to as far south as Florida and as far west as the eastern part of Texas The majority of the steel will be dispatched by truck with a small amount rail overlanded
Federal Pipe and Steel headquartered in Plymouth Michigan has been in the business for over 40 years Since its December 1980 acquisition by Sun Distributing a subsidiary of Sun Oil the company has been in the midst of an ambitious expansion program The firm now operates from five different locations including the recent opening of a facility in Illinois
Federal had been importing through Savannah for several years Previously the steel was being trucked to Chattanooga for redistribution The company elected to establish the

Savannah yard to eliminate the double freight charges brought on by transporting the freight back into areas such as the Carolinas and Georgia according to Bass
Fabricators are Federals main customers Also they do a thriving business with other warehouses Bass indicated they are able to engage in this somewhat uncommon practice because their inventory includes many large and unusual items not stocked by other firms
Bass is optimistic about his companys future in Savannah and reports good early sales One

ANNUAL GEORGIA FOREIGN TRADE CONFERENCE
Participation in this years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference in terms of both general attendance and panel composition was proof positive that the word of mouth advertising campaign was in high gear during the past year Each succeeding edition seems to grow in stature and past participants are the prime reason As always the event achieved a perfect balance of business and social activities
Panel I
Lee di Paci the Publisher of World Wide Shipping Guide moderated the panel proceedings His generalists knowledge of the transportation industry provided the perfect background for steering the panels in their topical direction without restricting the flow of information
The first panel addressed the issue of trade between the US and its traditional markets Eric Mittelstadt of General Motors emphassized that traditional was not interchangeable with assured or guaranteed in discussing US trade He outlined G Ms car design response to the imports citing his firms compact car lines as a positive competitive step In par
ticular he discussed plans for worldwide sourcing as a means of bringing economies to construction of the new J car
Mittelstadt cited several steps GM has taken to improve its ability to compete modernizing of reclaimable production facilities and replacement of outmoded ones introduction of four new lines of cars and trucks in a six month period development of new bodies and engines and improved human resources management and union relations to improve productivity During the question and answer session Mittelstadt voiced G Ms rather surprising

opposition to quota restrictions on Japanese imports stating Free trade restrictions tend to slow up development of the worlds economy We would like to have the same access to their markets that they have to ours
Richard French of Proctor and Gamble pointed to a weakening US flag fleet as a prime factor hurting US international competitiveness Noting that Capital costs may not be charged against the service where government subsidization exists he quoted figures showing a resultant drop to 4 of all US commerce moving on US flag carriers
French recommended tax incentives for US carriers to offset unfair foreign competition produced by low paid foreign crews and tax shelters resulting from convenience registry He called for free access to world commerce and adoption of proposed changes to the Shipping Act of 1916 French urged development of a workable open conference system by establishing the primacy of the Federal Maritime Commission

described the US as Japans number one trading partner noting that 25 of all his countrys exports are consigned to the US while America provides 174 of all of Japans imports This placed Japan in second place as a receiver of US goods behind Canada
Shibata discussed industrial coal conversions in Japan and predicted a large import market for steam coal He characterized this as a major potential market for the US but emphasized that US participation would hinge on timely development of appropriate port facilities
Dr Kiichi Mochizuki of Nippon Steel USA indicated that rather than being a newly emerged industrial nation Japan has been one since 1900 He traced the common western misconception to the fact that Japan has only more recently diversified its market beyond Asia
Mochizuki discussed the American coal port crisis as well pointing out that his firm paid 20 million in demurrage to the east coast ports last year While Nippon is encouraged by US coal export construction and plans they are protecting themselves by using alternative ports and sources
Mochizuki observed that todays global recession does not rival those of the 1930s and late 1970s He felt that our latter day version is not as general particularly since the energy industry is so bustling He expressed optimism as to our ability to avoid a deep recession stating We have an instrument to solve our dilemna between our wish for free trade and our need to protect ourselves It is
improved dialogue He characterized this as a function of both electronics and improved language expertise He concluded As long as this type of respectable effort continues 1 dont think well have the disaster we had 50 years ago
Dr Kiichi Mochizuki Nippon Steel USA Inc
Panel 2
Graham Russell of NAWAL led off the second panel discussing US involvement in the West African trades Historically US participation had lagged because of existing colonial trade ties More recently American economic penetration has contined to be slow according to Russell He named trade and

currency restrictions poor communications lack of inland transportation and climate problems as major deterrents Despite these conditions he noted that West Africans are surprised by the lack of aggressiveness on the part of American businessmen to get involved with what they perceive as the last remaining trade frontier
There are several reasons according to Russell why the picture may be changing He sees the US moving away from ecnomic isolationism Secondly he describes West Africa as a huge outlet for surplus agricultural products and indicated that demand for US goods and agricultural expertise was sloping upward On the export side Russell predicted that West African oil reserves will make this area a significant net exporter of oil by 1985 with the US a prime destination
Alec K Black of P O Strath discussed USMiddle East trade potentials He stressed a series of factors which bear consideration during examination of new export markets He listed 1 product quality and adaptability to the user market 2 competitive price in the face of currency fluctuations 3 provision of reliable frequent steamship service 4 availability of appropriate port facilities at both ends and 5 purchasing power and population of the importing country
Black pointed out that the development of the Middle East economy has fulfilled these requirements and altered the nature of the

cargo mix moving to the area Construction equipment and project cargoes have become more predominant and consumer goods such as carpets white goods and food stuffs are accounting for an increasing share of total volume
The China trade outlook was examined by Roger Sullivan of the National Council on USChina Trade He described China as a major market having doubled in 1979 and again in 1980 to volumes of 48 billion In the short term he expected Chinese internal economic problems to reduce growth to 34 annually but predicts that the US share of Chinas imports will continue to grow Leading commodities are expected to be grain and petroleum and mining equipment
By the year 2000 USChina trade should be in the neighborhood of 20 billion of which 15 billion will be exports to China according to Sullivan He felt China would not repeat Japans economic miracle because of its basically agricultural society large domestic market and the economies of the energy development correlation He indicated that long range US participation in the China trades was promising subject to limitations posed by export controls and political issues
Keynote Address
Under the heading The Anatomy of a China Deal Container Transport International President David Fox detailed his companys establishment of Chinas first marine container factory Outlining CTIs reasons for participating in the venture he listed a guarantee of containers in the Pacific a proprietary source of containers within China and a side door to doing business with Chinese shipping interests as major factors
The gist of the agreement calls for CTI to establish the plant and train the workforce in exchange for the first five years production output of the facility Fox indicated peak production with one shift would reach 835 containers per month Fox described the critical bargaining process in detail attributing CTls success in large measure to effectively adjusting to a completely new set of negotiating terms
E W Thomas Seaboard Coast Line Railroad
Panel 3
EW Thomas of Seaboard Coast Line expressed his confidence in US competitive capabilities He pointed to Americas historical ability to adapt to changing circumstances and told the audience 1 believe you are going to solve the problems that now confront us Thomas stated his feeling that the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 had not proven commerce
disruptive He characterized Americas railroads as being adaptable as well and noted The railroad has and will continue to cooperate under the new ball game
Speaking for the American Trucking Association Richard Few sounded a call for increased cooperation among the modes to move this nations transportation system forward to the benefit of the shipping public and the public in general He emphasized the need for continuance of some regulation and stated that the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 upheld this precept
Tours of the sailing vessel Barba Negra foreground and the interisland cruise were well received by conference goers
Few felt that intermodal cooperation had not reached fruition stating that railroads had traditionally led the fight against increased load and capacity limits for trucks He cited a number of technological innovations in trucking that he felt had been blocked by railroad interests Few expressed his belief that harmony was improving and called for more of the type of cooperation that led to the Surface Transportation Act of 1971
Reviewing the container revolution Vincent Barba of CTI stated The container is transportations common denominator He indicated that the explosion was only in midcycle and would continue for some time with
another doubling of worldwide container capacity to 6000000 TEUs by 1992
Barba characterized rail truck and air acceptance of containerization as slow but sure He indicated that the worldwide trend toward optimizing of container usage had precipitated acceptance in this country He pointed to the widespread modernization of port facilities and development of inland intermodal networks as indications that containerization of total cargo will meet 7075 projections by decades end
John Hood of Hyster Corporation posited that deregulation has forced traffic officials to be better managers He countered the notion that most requests for expanded authority were coming from small flybynight operators pointing to diversification activity by many of the large established motor carriers

George Barnes Babcock Wilcox
Panel 4
George Barnes of Babcock Wilcox cited low productivity as the main deterrent to US international competitiveness in the marketplace He showed statistics evidencing a drop in US productivity as compared to other industrialized nations while domestic wage increases have been the highest Barnes added that strengthening of the US dollar was currently aggravating an already tenuous competitive posture
His recommendation for reversing the trend were succinct In conclusion if the United States is to improve its competitiveness in foreign markets it needs to increase productivity through greater company investment in research and development improved plant equipment and technology and higher productivity from labor

William Perreault of Lockheed Stating that US business had traditionally viewed overseas sales as a Tiller for domestic slack he decried its cavalier attitude toward exports He felt that the United States has several unhealthy perceptions 1 We have sufficient clout to influence the policies of other nations 2 We are evangelists who must convince other nations to adopt our moral and economic philosophies and 3 You dont need an export

Colonel Charles E Dominy Savannah District Engineer for the U S Army Corps of Engineers recently addressed the Savannah Propeller Club He discussed the status of the Savannah Harbor Comprehensive Study from its funding in 1979 up to the present
Dominy indicated that the first phase of the study involving identification of issues and problems and making of basic assumptions had been completed He emphasized that this process was being rescrutinized to allow for addition of coal impact data into the basic assumptions Obviously vessel movement and tonnage statistics will be greatly increased with the coal influx
Upon revamping of the assumptions phase II selection of alternatives will begin The final phase expected to be complete in 1984 will involve determination of the most suitable of the alternatives
Dominy outlined a number of problem areas identified during phase I

The surge has been attributable to the trend among Georgia farmers toward double cropping wheat and soybeans as well as increased full season planting of the beans The winter wheats growing cycle suits it ideally for seasonal planting on lands used in the summer for beans Agricultural interests in the state searching for a more droughtproof planting package found the combination to be profitable and it is expected that high yields of both crops will continue to predominate
Almost immediately after the loading of the last wheat ship soybeans began arriving for marshalling and export The first shipment totalling 22000 tons has already departed for Spain Agricultural officials are looking for a strong rebound from last years droughtreduced harvest Mitchell expects a doubling of exports over the 198081 shipping season despite less than ideal conditions He explained This years full season beans look good however the double cropped beans have suffered from a lack of rain since the latter part of August Soybean movement will continue through March with the majority destined for Spain Scandinavia and Taiwan
Georgia Ports dry bulk complex enables area farmers to avail themselves of the considerable worldwide demand for agriproducts in bulk Since its construction export grain volumes have skyrocketed This trend has already resulted in one expansion of the storage building and construction of a second unloading station to speed truck turnaround Upon completion of GPAs dry bulk facility on Colonels Island near Brunswick bulk mineral handling will be transferred to that terminal

EXPONAS
Farmers in Savannahs hinterland have gotten their hand into agricultural exports in a big way
A record wheat harvest in Georgia has produced new highs in export volumes of the crop crossing Georgia Ports Authoritys Savannah terminals According to Georgia Department of Agriculture statistics state farmers produced an amazing 43 million bushels of wheat this year This figure looms even more impressive when compared to 1979s total harvest of 5 million bushels Final figures for the six month shipping season showed 20 million bushels were shipped through GPAs dry bulk terminal Some 90 of the total was Georgia grown
The 20 million bushels represented a total of approximately 600000 tons Joe Mitchell Manager of Continental Grains Savannah operation indicated widespread distribution of the wheat to countries including China Nigeria Iran Rumania Morocco and Italy

Export grains are conveyed shipward from GPAs dry bulk storage facility

Agricultural products trade in international markets on fractions of a cent per unit weight For this reason transportation addons can make the difference in securing sales By offering a nearby export site excellent facilities and economical professional terminal services Georgia Ports has helped to effectively insert area farmers into the business of feeding the world
Trucks delivering grain to GPAs dry bulk terminal move through twice as fast since the addition of a second truck dump

Compania Peruana de Vapores Peruvian State Line has expanded its SavannahSouth American service by adding Valparaiso Chile to its regular rotation CPV had already been providing weekly service to Callao Lima Matarani llo and Guayaquil The five vessels involved in the service make direct calls at all of the scheduled ports with the exception of Lima
The most recent call by a CPV ship was the firstever visit of the MV Inca Capac Yapanqui The Peruvian flag vessel and her sister ships are breakbulkcontainer combination vessels Each can handle large volumes of breakbulk cargoes plus approximately 100 twenty foot equivalent units of containers The Inca Capac Yapanqui carries ships gear capable of handling heavy lifts up to 60 tons
Because of its successes in the USSouth American liner trades Compania Peruana de Vapores has embarked on an ambitious newbuild program Paul Cook manager of the Savannah office of Tilston Roberts Corporation agents for CPV reports that
several ships are already under construction He indicated that there is a strong possibility that some of these could be added to the Savannah run with concurrent improvement in frequency and space availability
South America is rapidly shedding its historical image as an exporter of raw materials Industrialization is mushrooming on the continent and the character of the cargo mix both inbound and outbound is changing dramatically Raw materials are finding their way to domestic facilities producing an increasing flow of manufactured and processed goods moving in export On the import side the demand for industrial and mining machinery and high technology items is on the upswing These trends and CPVs response to them are clear The Port of Savannah is poised and ready to be a beneficiary of both
CPVs MV Inca Capac Yapanqui shown during her first Savannah call will now be accepting cargo for and from Valparaiso Chile as well as Peruvian and Ecuadorian ports

STEEL
BY BARGE
A consignment of 1500 tons of steel recently signalled the beginning of a major regular breakbulk movement for the Port of Brunswick The shipment consisted of 963 coils of high carbon steel rod
The cargo originated at U S Steels plant in Fairless Pennsylvania It was shipped by barge via the Intracoastal Waterway to Brunswick The coils were consigned to Cook Company of Lumber City Georgia Some 60 trucks were required to overland the steel to its final destination Cook will refabricate the material into steel wire for use in the production of automobile and truck tires
The decision to switch to barge transportation was based upon a study which projected considerable savings over other alternatives Cook officials indicated they expected to considerably reduce annual rod freight cost Brunswick was selected as river terminus
for several reasons including closest proximity to Lumber City reasonable terminal rates availability of good highways and reliable inland transportation
The first movement went extremely well with Willis Barge Line pushing the barge southward in timely fashion Even a disabled drawbridge along the way provided only a brief delay Willis quickly dispatched another tug from the south side of the span The original tug simply passed the barge under the broken bridge to the second which completed the trip to Brunswick
At the terminal costs were kept to a minimum by having the shoreside crane lift the coils from the barge direct
In by barge and overland by truck for Lumber City Georgia was Cook Companys most economical transportation package
to margin storage Subsequent loading to trucks was smooth uneventful and on schedule
Cook expects to move some 40000 tons annually through Brunswick This will mean two to three barges per month will be offloaded at Georgia Ports Authoritys terminal Their decision to send the first barge through Brunswick was based on comparative cost study Their decision to continue results from the actualities of handling meeting or exceeding their expectations
SOUTHBOUND LUMBER
Coastal Lumber Company is no newcomer to the export business The firm has been in business for 40 years and has been shipping its product to Europe and the Far East for some time Their most recent shipment through Savannah however represented their first sales sortie into what they feel is destined to become an important new market
This shipment was consigned to Santo Domingo According to Rick Phillips Corporate Manager of Transportation for Coastal the sales resulted from one of the first calls made in the area The prompt positive response coupled with the firms evaluation of Caribbean market
When Coastal Lumbers storage requirements included clean dry and spacious Ocean Terminals shed 16 provided the perfect dockside answer
potentials have produced considerable optimism as to future sales in the area We are very definitely expecting repeat business of this type Phillips observed Coastals confidence is reflected in their decision to add a full time representative Gilbert Portella to handle Caribbean sales
Nearly 2li million board feet of lumber tipping the scales at some 6000 tons made up the shipment It was destined for use by the construction industry in Santo Domingo Pacific Caribbean Line a relatively new addition to Savannahs steamship portfolio provided ocean transportation aboard their vessel the MV Babuyan

Several factors precipitated the designation of Savannah as outport The shipment had to be assembled from Coastal plants in Florida South Carolina and Alabama Savannahs central location helped to minimize inland transportation costs The availability of Pacific Caribbeans proven lumber carrying capability was certainly critical Perhaps of greatest importance was the availability of sufficient transit space to marshall the product The high quality kilndried lumber must be covered throughout its transportation Ocean Terminals shed 16 provided the perfect location with its ample clean dry dockside storage
As the largest exporter of softwoods on the U S East Coast and the second or third largest exporter of hardwoods Coastal Lumber was able to offer their Caribbean customers a number of advantages which secured the sale Phillips indicated the main considerations were quality packaging and the ability to deliver the cargo in a limited amount of time
With on schedule arrival playing an even greater than normal role Coastal chose Savannah as its vital water transportation link Their port comparisons indicated what our current customers have long known Savannah delivers what it promises With Coastal Lumbers confidence in the future of the Caribbean marketplace their sales diversification efforts and their emphasis on precision shipping they are destined to join the growing ranks of Savannah regulars

Savannah has become involved with the construction with the recent shipment of a large consignment of vehicles to the project via the port A total of 109 units were handled including passenger cars trucks 4wheel drive vehicles buses and ambulances

FOR SAIL
Taking a page from the history books Mini Line has outfitted one of its vessels with a sail Soaring fuel costs have prompted renewed interest in sail power as a means to reduce fuel requirements aboard todays vessels
Corn and feed are loaded aboard the Mini Lace for transport to South America
The vessel MV Mini Lace called Brunswick to load some 3000 tons of corn and feed The Greek flag carrier was to deliver the cargo to Guyana This consignment marked the beginning of a regular monthly movement of these commodities Mid South Feeds of Nashville Tennessee the producer expectes to export shipments of similar size on a regular basis The cargo is brought in by rail car and marshalled in the Transit Shed I bulk complex at Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick T erminal
The Mini Laces sail is held aloft by a 116 foot tall bowmounted mast During operational testing the 250 foot vessel achieved remarkable speeds in the 5 knot range with engines running at dead slow
Wind Ship Development Corporation of Massachusetts designed and supervised installation of the rig Based on the success of sea trials company officials are confident that additional retrofitting orders will be forthcoming
Ceres Hellenic Shipping Enterprises Ltd owners of the Mini Lace may become prime customers The firm operates a total of some 50 vessels Plans are already in the works to outfit another Mini Lane vessel with an aerofoil wing sail Test results for the
two will be compared to determine optimum configuration TTT Ship Agencies represent Mini Line in Brunswick Marine Port Terminals stevedored the move

The MV Vestland is one of the LCA vessels connecting Savannah with West Africa
Oceans International Corporation North American General Agents for Lignes Centraficaines LCA has announced the inauguration of monthly service to Savannah The independent carrier had been calling the port on an inducement basis but recent and projected volume increases necessitated the introduction of the regular call
On the African side LCA serves the ports of Dakar Conakry Monrovia Abidjan Tema Cotonou Lagos Port Harcourt Warri and Calabar In the US Savannah is the only South Atlantic port included on the itinerary
LCA has increased the size of its charters to handle the increased trade Each of the vessels accepts breakbulk cargoes as well as several hundred TEUs of containers according to Frank Schachte President of High Seas Shipping local agents for Lignes Centraficaines He further indicated that an increasing flow of charter feelers led to the establishment of the fixed service Schachte expressed great confidence that the service will become firmly established stating Were working on some business with the paper companies now that will insure a monthly call It will give LCA a solid base to improve from
LCA offers several Africanside advantages to shippers First their vessels enjoy priority berthing at a number of their ports of call In Jagos the line operates the largest private Storage area in the port Also in Lagos LCA has lighterage capability effectively bypassing dockside congestion The firm also operates warehousing at Tincan Island Apapa Port Harcourt and Warri
Despite occasional obstacles posed by political instability Africa continues its rise in the world trade arena The continent is attempting to convert its exports of minerals and liquid bulks into funding for foodstuffs and machinery to build an agricultural transportation and industrial infrastructure Lignes Centraficaines is helping to insure that the Port of Savannah maintains a viable trade link with the burgeoning West African marketplace

BARBER
WEST AFRICA LINES
With the visit of the Swedish registered MV Tana Barber West Africa Line commenced regular scheduled service to Savannah Barber vessels have begun calling approximately every three weeks Foreign ports of call include Tenerife Dakar Freetown Monrovia Tema Lagos ApapaApapo Douala and Abidjan
Barbers trademark has always been versatility as evidenced by the six Supercarriers which have been serving Savannah for some time The two AfriCarriers engaged in the West African run are well equipped to continue the tradition The 564 MV Tana is equipped with a stern ramp and can handle containers up to 720 TEUs The MV Tarn measures 541 is equipped with an extrawide quarter ramp and has a capacity of 802 TEUs Each vessel has three decks The vessels are the largest cargo carriers now operating in the USWest Africa route
The vessels are designed specifically for trading in tropical waters A forced ventilation system assures the rapid air exchange critical to
transport of many cargoes in tropical climates The AfriCarriers accommodate all type of containers including reefers hicubes open tops and half heights The stern ramp takes rolling cargo up to 75 ton axle load effectively extending the cargo mix to industrial machinery rolling stock on and off highway equipment and tracked vehicles
The MV Tana exhibited just such versatility on her first call Outbound cargo loaded included three mobile cranes agricultural equipment containers commercial air conditioning equipment woodplastic working machinery and assorted other breakbulks
Barbers decision to add the Port of Savannah to its schedule resulted from their search for a South Atlantic port where cargo offerings could be centralized Because the lines plans called for designation of only one port on the South Atlantic range strategic location was critical Officials of Harrington Company local agents for Barber indicated
that the ability to attract cargo from Florida and the Carolinas played a critical role in the port selection process
Barber is one of several lines which have recently introduced or expanded service between Savannah and Africa Despite lingering political uncertainties many African nations are industrializing at a rapid pace As the burgeoning industrial region of the US the South is a natural source of supply for the equipment and machinery vital to Africas ambitious modernization programs As shippers and carriers like Barber search for the ports to handle this increasing throughput Savannah consistently emerges as the definitive answer Barber has found Savannah a willing and capable business partner in the past and their new West African service indicates their confidence is stronger than ever

CONTAINER SERVICE
Nigerian Star Line and Zim have combined to bring a new full container service to the Port of Savannah It will connect the port with a number of major West African destinations
Intercontinent transportation will be provided by NSL a Nigerian based company partly owned and wholly managed by Zim NSL containers will be loaded in Savannah by Mediterranean bound vessels in the Zim Container Service They will subsequently be discharged in Halifax for transfer to NSL vessels Two 10000 TDWT vessels with container capacities of 280290 TEUs will serve the route
Primary ports of call in West Africa are Monrovia Lagos Port Harcourt and Abidjan Additional service is provided to Freetown via
Monrovia and Douala and Tema both via Lagos
Nigerian Star Lines service deals mainly in 20 foot containers However 40 footers are accepted for Lagos and Port Harcourt Cargo is accepted in shipper owned 20 foot containers destined for Matadi
Being a Nigerian company NSL enjoys priority in berthing at facilities operated by the Nigerian Port Authority As a full container operator the line is also afforded preferential handling in Monrovia and Abidjan
Customer service needs on the African side can be handled by NSLs company representatives in Abidjan Accra Ghana and Port Harcourt Also Zim maintains its own agency in Nigeria the Lagos and Niger
Shipping Agency Ltd Their combined efforts assure optimum handling and inland transportation for their customers containers
This issue carries a feature story on the containership Zim Savannah It stands as a hallmark in Zims 25 year relationship with the Port of Savannah Their involvement with Nigerian Star Line has resulted in the introduction of this important new container service These two events indicate that Zim and Georgia Ports marketing studies produce the same equation Savannah plus containers equal growth
Zim vessels will carry West African bound containers to Halifax for transshipment by Nigerian Star Line

WORLD CONGRESS CENTER TO EXPAND
The City of Atlantas stature as a business and convention center recently received a major boost Groundbreaking ceremonies for the new addition to the Georgia World Congress Center signal the start of an ambitious project that will double the capacity of this already impressive complex
When the center first opened in 1976 it was anticipated it would suffice for the foreseeable future However it quickly became both the cause and victim of a meteoric rise in convention business in Atlanta Georgia Governor George Busbee in his remarks at the ground breaking ceremony summarized the phenomenon observing Perhaps the fact that we are already in need of expansion speaks well of the center and the role it played in making Atlanta one of the nations three leading convention and trade show centers
The 83 million project will virtually double the existing 350000 square foot exhibition hall by adding another 300000 square feet of floor area Also included in the expansion will be 45 additional meeting rooms a 35000 square foot ballroom new entrance and registration facilities and additional adjacent parking
The decision to fund and construct the addition was founded in careful studies of convention and trade show demand Early returns indicate that the intelligence homework was done with remarkable insight With full completion still 3 years away early demand for the new space is already tremendous with approximately 60 of available dates in the new exhibition hall booked through 1990 Officials are confident that utilization will approach capacity as construction nears completion
As considerations of strategic location climate land and labor availability and a growing international trade community press Atlanta further into the limelight increasing numbers of businesses find Atlantas environs a logical site to settle The attraction extends to convention and trade show planners as well This steady flow of businessmen has produced an Atlanta awareness that is resulting in a spiralling flow of trade As the closest port to this commercial hub of the South Savannah welcomes the opportunity to participate in Atlantas growth

TRADE CONFERENCE
continued from page 19
He downplayed the role of US labor productivity as a negative citing the example of the mirror plant located in the US which is achieving higher output than its Japanese counterpart
Perreault felt that our use of export sanctions to achieve political goals has caused us to be viewed as an undependable source Were not the only source and weve taught the world to out compete us he remarked He called for removal of regulatory disincentives and establishment of a cohesive export policy The US needs a national trade policy just like we have a military and political policy he concluded
Martin Tremble of Allis Chalmers proposed innovative marketing as a key ingredient in effective international sales He cautioned against entering new markets with traditional commodities and techniques observing that products must be user sensitive in the proposed market
Tremble stressed that service after the sale carries extreme importance in many foreign markets and is generally the key to repeat business He called for inventive production and delivery techniques to help in the international sales competition Given the cultural and language barriers he proposed a simple personal approach for the international businessman Be straight sincere and confident The Unwinding
As always the conference social calendar had been refined coupling the best of past years with a new twist or two The interisland cruise fashion show golf and tennis tournaments gospel sing oyster roast stage show and dancing were time tested events which were again well received
The maiden visit of the Zim Savannah provided an opportunity for many conference goers to attend a tour of a stateoftheart containership An exhibit by members of the Savannah Art Association lent a touch of elegance to conference headquarters
Perhaps the most unique innovation was the menus of the world From the opening nights Italian feast to the AllAmerican finale guests were treated to a remarkable culinary expedition which included visits to Hawaii Germany Japan France and Mexico Golf and tennis became almost requisite to offset the effects of sumptuous dining
Review of the 1981 proceedings has already started and plans are underway for the next years events Solicitation of panellists has begun in earnest to assure assembly of another impressive group This years committee is preparing transition materials for their incoming successors
The attendance curve certainly points to the increasing popularity of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference An even clearer indication is the good will shared at both the professional and social levels by those in attendance The sentiment was unanimous We cant wait til next year
