BY SEASONED PERSONNEL ATLANTIC TOWING COMPANY 504 EAST RIVER STREET P O Box 1365 SAVANNAH GEORGIA Phone 2328103 Night Phone 2328105 Cable Address ATCO January February 1982 1 George J Nichols FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority The recent sale of 42 million worth of bonds by the State of Georgia signalled the beginning of Georgia Ports Authoritys ambitious five year expansion program The master plan calls for the expenditure of nearly 188 million during that period Ocean Terminal in Savannah and our Brunswick Terminal will undergo major breakbulk expansions These will permit conversion to container facilities of breakbulk areas at Garden City Terminal as well as accommodating future growth A total of 52 million will be spent at Ocean Terminal for a variety of projects Included are the Slip I complex which will add 1000 feet of berthing with 200 foot margins and an 800000 square foot transit shed with appropriate rail truck and gantry access provided A third 200000 square foot warehouse will be constructed Approximately 22 acres of land will be drained paved and lighted to provide open storage for increasing flows of project cargoes and rolling stock Berths 16 and 19 will be reconfigured to provide additional dockside open storage more lighting and improved transit shed access At Brunswicks East River terminal breakbulk and dry bulk storage capabilities will be augmented by construction of 120000 square feet of transit space adjacent to sheds I and II Still more import dry bulk capability will be added as well The two existing bulk warehouses comprising 110000 square feet of storage will be joined by two more In addition building II and its conveyors will be extended 144 feet increasing annual throughput capability by some 56000 tons The major bulk news in Brunswick however is Colonels Island Destined to become the bulk and neobulk handling center of the South Atlantic it will be the focus of some 47 million of construction First GPA will dredge a channel from the existing one in the East River to the high bluff shoreline at the north end of the island Then construction will commence on a 43 million handling complex for export bulks The first phase will include one berth a 100000 square foot warehouse and siloage to store both agricultural and nonedible commodities Engineering and design facilitate quick and extensive expansion as cargo demands dictate Conveyors will move product at rates up to 2100 tons per hour While the facility will operate as multiproduct dry bulk export terminal it will be designed to accommodate selfunloading carriers for importation of dry bulks for on site open storage Expected to open in 1983 it will handle 13 million tons of cargo in its first full year of operation In the fourth year of the program work will begin on a fifth berth at CONTAINERPORT Since existing breakbulk areas will be sacrificed to this project it is sequenced to permit completion of the Ocean Terminal work prior to its start up The net effect will be to provide continuous availability of new and expanded breakbulk facilities throughout the expansion program This principle will apply through emplacement of the sixth container berth as well Barge terminals will receive attention as well The Bainbridge operation will see the addition of another warehouse within the five year period The approved 42 million portion reflects the diversity of projects to be undertaken in the next five years It includes funds for the slip I complex phase I a 200000 square foot warehouse and land acquisition at Ocean Terminal Monies are provided for dredging the channel to Colonels Island and engineering and design work for the dry bulk facility there Another important project from the year 1 package will be the expansion of the existing cold storage facility Located in the heart of recently completed container berth 4 it will be increased in size some 2Vi times to 68000 square feet By bridging an existing canal the extension occupies no usable container space and permits a further 56000 square foot expansion in the future Completion of the project will enable GPA to ship a larger share of temperature controlled cargoes particularly Georgias poultry exports The State of Georgias decision to sell bonds to finance these projects was based on a careful study of marketing projections for the various cargo groups Their affirmative vote bespeaks their confidence in the future of the State of Georgia as an international trade center We are equally confident that their commitment to the first segment of our master plan applies to the program as a whole With action on the 53 million second phase expected by midMarch Georgias ports will be able to continue their traditions of efficient modern service and dynamic growth 2 AnchorAge aniBMi EtTiaBKHWaSM PO Box 2744 Savannah GA 31402 The cargo you ship must arrive at its destination in the exact same condition it

products flow through Savannah to all parts of the globe and comprise a significant portion of Middle East traffic 4 The recent history of trade with the Middle East has been one of the use of petroleum income for expansive import buyings Over a relatively short span of time the nations of the area found themselves with an unprecedented capability to correct their economic and social shortcomings The resulting flow of cargoes to the Middle East has been as diverse as it has been enormous Expenditures for infrastructure projects machinery consumer goods leisure equipment and foodstuffs have reached into the billions of dollars Despite the sluggishness which characterized the world economic scene last year the Middle East remained a growth market James E Devine Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Waterman Steamship Corporation corroborated the vitality of the trade observing Of all markets the Middle East held up the best in 1981 especially compared to the European market Early volume figures seem to predict that US exports to that part of the world met the 15 increase projected at the beginning of the past calendar year This exceeded the more modest 7 increase from 1979 to 1980 V RoRo service for commodities such as this grain tank is critical for any port wishing to participate in the Middle Eastern trades OF THE TRADE There appears to be a wide consensus that except for isolated commodities the growth curve is flattening out Franz Bergsma Middle East Area Manager for The Heil Company a diversified manufacturer and exporter of bulk trailers and refuse collection equipment cites cause and effect The market has become quite competitive he observed adding The days of the gravy train are gone That period ended three or four years ago Nevertheless moderate growth in any market remains the exception and the Middle East retains its strong promise for a variety of exporters and carriers The nature of the cargo mix to the Middle East is largely dictated by the number and type of major projects underway at any given time Emplacement of oil and gas facilities power generation plants water and irrigation projects military bases and manufacturing facilities generates a tremendous demand for the materials and equipment used in their construction The project shipment has become the rule of Middle East trade and steamship service has continued January February 1982 5 made the necessary adjustments As Middle Eastern nations have modernized port and inland transportation facilities the demand for reliable container service has multiplied On the other hand the sheer size and weight of many project components precludes containerization Captain DEP Colley North American Representative for PO Strath explains his firms reactions in terms of fleet configuration Were aware of the need for container transportation but we feel the demand remains for project and breakbulk carriage A short rundown of the major commodity groups show

SavannahMiddle East trade Georgia is carpet country and much of the exported variety is destined for the Middle East W ggfj 1 p Mg FUTURE OF THE TRADE Most sources expect 1982 to be an acceptable year particularly in light of the general shortfalls anticipated in some of the other established markets Evans U Sismanson Senior VicePresident of Hellenic American Agencies summarized The past year weve seen something of a levelling off For the next six months we should see very little change John R Broadbent North American Marketing Manager for United Arab Shipping Company concurred but added I see business picking up the third or fourth quarter of the year because several large projects which have been awarded to American companies will be getting underway There are a good half dozen of those Allen Vornsand of the W Classmann Corp an exporter of LP gas equipment also indicated that a late year upswing might hinge on the timing of specific project work If occupancy begins on a major housing development outside Riyadh our business could skyrocket he noted As the more advanced Middle Eastern nations begin to fulfill their infrastructure needs a trend toward investment in secondary industry is emerging Where finished goods had been largely imported a push has begun to develop domestic manufacturing capability to replace the foreign product Over the long run this is destined to have a profound effect on the makeup of world trade with the region Much of the petroleum and mineral wealth which had been exported in raw form will be processed in country Import demand will shift from finished goods to the industrial machinery to manufacture them and the components and parts to assemble and repair them John Broadbent of United Arab identifies air conditioning equipment and refrigerators as two groups for which trade volumes are dropping off due to local production in the Middle East A number of opportunistic American firms are preparing for the change Heils Frans Bergsma explains his firms strategy stating Well have to have arrangements with local firms overseas to partially manufacture some of our equipment By decades end many US firms may find themselves cast in the role of suppliers of parts components and manufacturing equipment as opposed to being consumer goods vendors The transition should be slow but steady and will provide new opportunities for US producers not now involved in the Middle East Burgeoning SavannahMiddle East Cargo volumes are producing increased demand for all types of ocean transport 8 There seems to be near unanimous agreement that in the Middle East trade equation the plusses for the future clearly outweigh the negatives A most obvious source of increased business is new markets in the region Both Allen Vornsand of W Classmann Corp and John Broadbent of UASCO list Oman as an emerging customer Broadbent adds Yemen and Sudan to his list with their packages of upcoming projects which are being largely financed by the wealthier Arab nations A newold trading partner which could reemerge fairly rapidly is Iran Despite the ongoing conflict US trade with Iraq has remained relatively constant albeit through other countries of entry The Iranian trade on the other hand has all but evaporated Allen Vornsand reports that in 1970 Iran was Class Anchor Age manns largest customer but trade now is zero Termination of the hostilities would certainly produce immediate demand for the goods that had traditionally moved as well as for materials to accomplish the considerable task of rebuilding As with any large market competition for international business is intense The Japanese are parlaying their cost effective production techniques into pricing advantages while the Europeans profit from their favorable location Union International Inc is a major exporter of carpet and furniture with most of their goods destined for the Middle East Company president Abdullah Warrayat reports We expect competition from new alternative suppliers Japan and Belgium are our major sources of competition now Warrayat adds that despite record export volumes 3040 containers per week competition has cut profit margins considerably The current strength of the dollar has done nothing to ameliorate the US businessmans plight Despite these factors the US product retains its traditional popularity in the Middle East American technological knowhow and quality can often offset price disadvantages Of equal importance particularly in the category of consumer goods is the aesthetic appeal of American goods Abdullah Warrayat of Union International attributes much of his firms success to matching our goods to tastes in the Middle East The sheer volume of planned purchases over the next 5 years promises good trading for the US businessman For example Saudi Arabias 5 year plan for the first half of the decade calls for some 285 billion in expenditures The near future will see the start up of a number of enormous projects throughout the area One particular petroleum industry job will generate 250000 300000 tons of cargo worldwide of which some 50000 tons will originate in the US according to John Broadbent of United Arab The political atmosphere must be considered in any discussion of trade with the Middle East Capt Colley of PO summarized Its obviously a sensitive area and political disruptions can influence trade and trade activities but theres nothing breaking the surface now Watermans James Devine sees political unrest as an occupational hazard of doing business in any sensitive region and indicated that trading always seems to emerge relatively unscathed from such periods The growing number of US firms entering the export arena will add to the volume and diversity of goods destined for the Middle East Abdullah Warrayats Union International in business just 2i years has already increased its area sales by 22 times over the first years level Union International has recently begun exporting furniture as well exhibiting the trend among established shippers toward diversifying their international product lines No country has the combination of land resources and agritechnology possessed by the United States For this reason foodstuffs should remain an export staple for years to come Evans Sismanson of Hellenic indicated that much of the land in the Middle East defies the most expensive attempts to render it cultivable Faced with this shortfall in domestic production capability these nations will have to look west to feed themselves A recent change in US laws is helping our ability to deal effectively overseas John S Leotta Vice President of Nedlloyd Inc noted that revision of the expatriate tax laws has made it more palatable for an American to work abroad Because many Middle Eastern businessmen attach so much importance to eye to eye contact particularly during negotiations this change is of vital importance to shippers wishing to have local representation Weighing these considerations the outlook is promising While the days of gigantic annual volume increases are past the current levels are expected to remain with prospects for slower but steady growth for the foreseeable future Thomas G Schwemmer Vice President and General Manager of Shipside Packing summarizes All indications are that prosperous trade will continue for the next decade continued Container berth 4 with its new crane is in operation speeding turnaround of Savannahs impressive selection of containerships January February 1982 SAVANNAH MIDDLE EAST Savannahs trade ties with the Middle East are well established and date back beyond the beginning of the petroleum boom The port city has been a prime beneficiary of the recent growth and todays SavannahMid East cargo portfolio reflects this activity The major commodities include grain carpet forest products building materials foodstuffs furniture heavy equipment juices poultry pleasure boats wire clay automotive parts and accessories and project shipments in general A clear indication of growing interest in Savannah as a conduit for Middle East cargoes is the number of new carriers and maritime service firms which have come on stream Nedlloyd is the newest addition to the sailing schedule In outlining his companys decision to call Savannah John Leotta stated Based on the assumption that service amounted to something more than rate we felt we could make some inroads Firms committed to total service consistently find the Port of Savannah an ideal setting in which to execute their operating philosophy Landside Shipside Packing will be opening its Savannah branch in the near future Offering diversified packing warehousing and consolidation services the firm boasts extensive experience in the Middle Eastern arena Craig N Johnson Executive Vice President of Shipsides parent company La vino Shipping cited overall recognition of the future of the Port of Savannah as the prime factor behind their decision to locate here Thomas Schwemmer of Shipside identified another selling point stating There are excellent heavy lift facilities available in Savannah which are very important in attracting and handling project type cargoes A number of long time Savannah carriers are beefing up their service as well United Arab Shippings newbuild program will result in replacement of the 800 TEU vessels now traveling between Savannah and the Middle East with 1200 TEU bottoms This will be in addition to their regular breakbulk service to the area Waterman Line has been granted authority for service into Alexandria and Port Said Egypt and will begin connecting Savannah with those ports in the near future A number of other lines are committed to joining Savannahs Middle East steamship portfolio Evans Sismanson reports that Hellenic will soon accept four vessels which are being converted to containerships These will be placed in a staggered rotation with the lines RoRo ships to improve sailing frequency from every 22 days to fortnightly The additional tonnage will permit Hellenic to extend this service to Savannah to join its established breakbulk run By the end of the year we should be calling Savannah with this service Sismanson indicated continued on page 39 The opening of Georgia Ports 4th container berth is good news for shippers of containerized RoRo and

Alicante Barcelona Catania Corinth Leghorn Naples Piraeus and Savona Troughton stated that centralized location along the South Atlantic range had been a key factor in GulfMeds port selection process Equally important was the availability of substantial lots of cargo particularly among the forest products group The line has solicited these types of commodities heavily and the MV Edna displayed their success loading some 2000 tons of linerboard kraft saturated paper and lumber Much attention has been focused on trade activity between Savannah and the develop ing regions of the world Nevertheless the ports established cargo base and much of its growth can be attributed to trade with traditional markets such as the Mediterranean The need for reliable ocean transport between Savannah and this area has been well demonstrated in the past and continues to mushroom GulfMeds new service is an excellent carriers response to the demand providing shippers of forest products and

JanuaryFebruary I982 15 MARINE PORT TERMINALS CONSOLIDATES Marine Port Terminals Inc a service firm for importers and exporters has consolidated its stevedoring warehousing and ships agency operations in the Port of Brunswick The reorganization is part of an effort by MPT to make Brunswick the leading East Coast port for shippers and receivers of dry bulk cargoes The consolidation was made possible by the recent acquisition of Marine Port Terminals by Royster Company of Norfolk Virginia Royster has previously handled bulk storage and warehousing functions while Marine Port Terminals provided stevedoring and agency services We believe that this consolidation will enhance the ability of Marine Port Terminals and the Georgia Ports Authority to make Brunswick the major port for dry bulk commodities on the East Coast said Carl G Prendergast President of Marine Port Terminals The new firm hopes to accomplish this by offering a complete marineinland transportation package for controlling movement of dry bulk commodities throughout transshipment Prendergast was formerly Vice President of physical distribution for Royster John A Stubbs who was President and owner of Marine Port Terminals prior to the consolidation has been named Vice President of the new subsidiary Marine Port Terminals has increased its Port of Brunswick business to more than twenty customers and now handles annually in excess of 400000 tons of commodities such as salt feeds flint sand and fertilizers Prendergast indicated the firm is projecting a doubling or even tripling of these levels within the next five years Marine Port Terminals recent successes and future growth have been greatly abetted by Georgia Ports Authoritys ambitious expansion Carl G Prendergast President John A Stubbs Vice President program at its Brunswick Terminal The dry bulk handling complex has grown to include two storage warehouses totalling 110000 square feet capable of accommodating 60000 tons of cargo A 700 ton per hour ship unloader recently came on stream to feed the 500 ton per hour conveyor system running from the dock to either warehouse Transit shed I has been refurbished and equipped with an unloading station for handling and marshalling of smaller parcels of dry bulks Ample open areas have been set aside for cargoes not requiring protected storage Truck and rail access are provided throughout the T erminal In the future bulk warehouse III and IV will join the complex A channel will be dredged to nearby Colonels Island to permit construction of a 42 million one berth dry bulk complex While bagging facilities are already in place three additional lines for salt feeds and fertilizers are being comtemplated by MPT Marine Port Terminals has marshalled its resources to enhance its ability to serve its customers Where expeditious movement of cargo is a key consideration centralization of responsibility can afford cost advantages to shippers The second reason for the consolidation was to provide a more suitable framework for sustained company growth In the Port of Brunswick Marine Port Terminals has found an ideal vehicle to accomplish that end With its new consolidation of services Marine Port Terminals hopes to optimize its utilization of Brunswicks dry bulk handling facilities 16 Anchor Age Carolina Shipping Company Steamship Agents and Contracting

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority George J Nichols Georgia Ports Authoritys extensive construction plans for Brunswick and Colonels Island are detailed in this issue of the AnchorAge Of the 55 million to be spent at the two locations over the next three years some 48 million is earmarked for dry bulk facilities The commitment to these bulk projects was founded in careful analysis of ongoing and anticipated trends in the bulk trades Industrialization and climate have combined to produce unprecedented population growth in the Southern Rim of the United States Predictably this has led to a tremendous broadening of the agricultural base in the region If this newly enlarged agricultural economy is to remain stable a viable export program must be provided to absorb goods which cannot be profitably marketed domestically Simultaneously the volume and variety of mineral exports have been surging The size and geological diversity of the United States make it a fertile source for an abundance of raw materials These find their way into export channels in either their natural form or as components of processed dry bulks Most firms can and do produce more material than they can sell at home For this reason an export strategy becomes a major component of their overall sales programs Suitable port facilities occupy an important place in the export chain Because many dry bulks have a low value to weight relation dockside handling costs can be a major determinant as to the producers ability to compete Our dry bulk facility in Savannah is an example of an efficient installation in the right place at the right time Drought conditions have forced many area farmers to examine crops with better water stress tolerances The result has been a tremendous increase in acreage dedicated to soybeans and winter wheat Four or five years experience has convinced them of the hardiness of the two crops and plantings have continued to rise Georgia Ports Savannah facility has become the beneficiary of increased export shipments of both wheat and soybeans In 1978 no winter wheat was exported through the bulk plant The 1981 total was 570000 tons Soybean volumes for 1978 the first year of shipments were 93000 tons as compared to 1981 volumes of 260000 Exports sales of this scope have enabled the farmer to make the switch with the confidence that hell be able to market his produce Every indication points to a continuation of the trend The USDA forecasts wheat exports of 1000000 tons for the next harvest For the soybean shipping season just ended 420000 tons were exported In addition new agricultural commodities are finding their way into export channels with increasing regularity The East River Terminal in Brunswick shows evidence of this trend having recently added glutens feeds corn and phosrock to its commodity listing The minerals outlook is equally optimistic Georgias clays possess inherent qualities which make them prized among producers of higher grade glossy papers Clay derivatives such as oil dri and pet litters continue to move in export Fertilizer materials sands and bottom ash are just a few of the new moves through Brunswick and Savannah Trade soothsayers in both the private and governmental sectors agree that minerals and ores will continue to increase their share of total world trade at least through decades end Newbuild orders for bulk vessels would seem to indicate that many carriers share their outlook Based on this accumulated market data we have designed a response which will enable us to meet the anticipated increased demand for dry bulk capability The Colonels Island dry bulk facility will represent the state of the art in cargo handling Rated at 2000 tons per hour handling capacity it will move dry bulks through at impressive speed Two rail unload ing stations each dump two cars simultaneously and feed to storage or direct to vessel Truck deliveries are accepted at a separate unloader As the list of dry bulks moving in world trade expands multiproduct capability becomes more important for any bulk terminal The Colonels Island facility can accommodate the full range of edible and inedible cargoes in both silos and flat storage Products expected to move include peanut and soybean meals grain glutens feeds clays fertilizer materials and industrial sands and these by no means comprise the entire list Our confidence in the future of Brunswick Colonels Island as a bulk handling center goes beyond phase I construction The capability to increase flat storage and build additional silos has been designed into the project The island will accommodate a total of four more berths for deepwater operations Work on Colonels Island will commence with the dredging of a channel to its northern bluff With overdredging and a six foot tide variance ships of approximately 34 foot loaded draft can be handled routinely Completion of the channel will not only lead to construction of the bulk terminal but will permit further development of the entire island It remains the only East Coast location offering deepwater and barge access onsite rail and highway amenities and industrialtransportation development sites Add these to a strategic location and the combination becomes unbeatable Our research indicates that the Colonels Island dry bulk facility will be the only one of its type on the eastern seaboard It will offer the shipper unparalleled versatility in terms of commodities handled and types of storage Shippers and carriers alike will be impressed with the rapid vessel turnaround afforded by the high capacity loading unloading and conveyor systems Because of its world leadership and agricultural technology the United States will continue to increase its involvement in the international food marketplace Blessed with a diversified natural resource base it will generate a significant share of the worlds mineral needs as well Heeding these signals

shed and bulk storage warehouses permit packaging of dry bulks for subsequent reshipment in breakbulk form ments will be nearly 188 million over the next five years Some 56 million of the total is earmarked for projects at Brunswicks East River terminal and on nearby Colonels Island The Year I 42 million package has already been approved by the Georgia legislature and several projects are currently out for bid Master Plan Georgia Ports Authoritys long range business plan revolves around centralization of handling by cargo type at its various terminals By decades end Garden City Terminal in Savannah will be dedicated exclusively to containers RoRo cargoes grain and liquid bulks Savannahs Ocean Terminal will be reserved for breakbulk project and heavy lift cargoes The Brunswick terminals will become the center of GPAs dry bulk activities with continued emphasis on breakbulks The price tag for these terminal improve East River At the East River site two recent land acquisitions have added much needed space for expansions and open storage A 475 acre site abutting the bulk storage buildings will be the site of a paved pad for outside stowing of bulks In addition an existing cold storage facility on the property will become the subject of marketing efforts to solicit temperature controlled cargoes A planned expansion of the two transit sheds will encompass the present site of the existing administration and maintenance building To Recent property acquisitions will accommodate future expansion at GPAs Brunswick Terminal Property Acquisition A 475 acres Property Acquisition B Future Administrative Maintenance Facility permit the construction to proceed as planned GPA has purchased an office and warehouse building at the back of the property to house those functions The new location will provide increased office and shop space and conference facilities The combined properties cost over 1 million The transit shed enlargements will begin next fiscal year and will carry a 7 million price tag The additions will nearly double the dockside transit space available to a total of 252000 square feet The new units will permit easy handling through 11 wide doors to inside spaces with a clear working height of 24 feet Rail sidings will be relayed to provide dual landside rail access at platform height Two covered rail car unloading stations will be installed adjacent to each other behind the sheds Material will discharge to a 36 belt conveyor then to a 50 foot high bucket elevator which will empty into the transit shed 1 addi tion Distribution within the building will continue to be handled by existing frontend loaders The listing of cargoes which are expected to be handled through the facilities includes corn glutens feed pellets feed grade phosphates sands minerals peanuts and meals in bulk and forest products and bagged products moving breakbulk Marketing intelligence points to early and frequent use of the new storage areas by current and prospective shippers The next fiscal year will also see the expansion of storage warehouse II At a cost of approximately 872000 GPA will add a 144 foot extension to the existing structure The project will add 23760 square feet of protected storage and will increase annual throughput capability by 56000 tons Further in the future bulk warehouses III and IV will join the complex Each will be at least the size of the existing buildings or a minimum of 5060000 square feet each Again early projections indicate that maximum utilization of the first two warehouses including the extension to unit II will precipitate start up on the additional structures in the nonetoodistant future The future of the business for East River Terminal is virtually unlimited restricted only by the potential problem of land availability The two recent acquisitions represent GPAs attempt to provide growing space to eliminate this contingency Year 4 of the master plan includes 1 million for purchase of additional land along the East River to accommodate expansion projects appearing in future five year plans To this end a number of potential sites are being examined continued The five year expansion plan for the East River Terminal will dramatically change the face of the facility MarchApril 1982 9 Colonels Island Land availability is not a constraint at nearby Colonels Island The 8000 acre site includes some 2100 acres of high land suitable for construction It is the only available location on the Atlantic Seaboard offering deepwater barge rail and interstate highway access Colonels Island is located approximately 2Vi miles from the East River facilities in Brunswick Georgia Ports efforts to develop Colonels Island as a transportation and industrial center have begun in earnest SCM Corporation has completed its turpentine fractioning plant on the island A number of other firms currently holding options are finalizing their construction plans The project which will do the most to precipitate the total utilization of Colonels Island is now underway At a cost of over 4 million Georgia Ports Authority is dredging a 30 foot channel from the north end of the property to meet the existing East River channel Completion of the work in 1984 will permit start up on those projects which have been held in abeyance until deepwater capability could be provided The addition of the channel is the last installment in making Colonels Island a complete package for firms investigating site alternatives The shoreline configuration of the SCM Corporation was the first to locate on Colonels Island Colonels Island the complete transportation industrial site is served by two railroads The island connects to Interstate 95 less than two miles west the Atlantic Ocean just 12 miles east and the Intracoastal Waterway six miles east 10 AnchorAge northern end of the island will ultimately permit construction of five berths to serve a variety of needs All of these are located only 12 nautical miles from the open sea The rear of the island is defined by a number of rivers which are capable of accommodating barges A short trip of only 5A miles is required to connect with the intracoastal waterway A number of excellent potential sites for barge operations adjoin this river system Rail amenities are already in place including sizable switching yards capable of handling the multiple unit trains common to bulk shipping Both the Seaboard Coast Line and Southern railroads serve Colonels Island The dual service brings cost effective competition to shippers Connection to main trunk lines is a matter of only twelve miles insuring rapid rail car turnaround and minimum shipping time In addition recent mergers by both carriers have extended their geographic coverage to a sizable hinterland encompassing most of the eastern half of the country The expansions have enabled them to offer the handling and equipment control benefits associated with single carrier responsibility to a far greater number of prospective customers US highway 17 crosses Colonels Island providing clear egress and ingress to the property Less than two miles away US 17 intersects Interstate 95 enabling motor carriers to reach this major northsouth artery in a matter of minutes Bulk Facility The centerpiece of the Colonels Island transportationindustrial tract will be Georgia Ports Authoritys multiproduct dry bulk terminal Work on the facility is coordinated with completion of work on the channel and will produce the most modern versatile bulk plant anywhere Construction start up will be in the Fall of this year with handling operations to commence in the Spring of 1984 All systems are designed to accommodate a handling rate of 2000 tons per hour Two types of storage have been provided A 100000 square foot flat storage building will house edible commodities including glutens meals grain peanuts and feeds The structure is divided into 9 55 x 130 foot bays each capable of holding approximately 3250 tons of high weighttovolume ratio products such as chicken feed Minerals will be stored in silos Each of the eight units is 108 feet high with a capacity of 77000 cubic feet A total of 17600 tons of material weighing 40 lbs per cubic foot can be stored in the silos For a commodity rated at 100 lbs per cubic foot the figure rises to 32000 tons Commodities on the siloage list include kaolin Fullers earth oil dri bauxite and industrial sands To assure full utilization of the handling systems as designed provisions have been made to provide a rapid continuous flow of continued Family Lines and Southern rail cars will be frequent visitors to Colonels Islands spacious marshalling yards MarchApril 1982 11 Colonels Island material from rail cars and trucks Two separate rail car unloading stations have been provided Each is capable of simultaneously unloading 2 cars including the 62 foot jumbo hoppers They are equipped with trackside rail shakers to aid in the discharge of nonfree flowing cargoes The dump stations will be enclosed in the interests of weatherproofing and dust containment Each rail car pit is served by a set of parallel tracks which provide both quick access and ample adjacent storage for large numbers of cars The inside storage track will handle 11455 foot cars while the outer loop can accommodate another 56 In addition yards already in place on the island have trackage sufficient to accept another 600 rail cars This capacity enables the shipper to avail himself of unit train economies Once cars have been switched into the unloading loop hydraulic car movers located at each unloader take over moving them into the dump station Each is capable of shifting up to 14 hoppers loaded with 100 lb per cubic foot material Each location can dump up to 20 cars per hour At maximum throughput the two in combination can unload 5500 tons per hour Rail car pit 1 will be utilized for noncompatible materials and will funnel product either direct to vessel or to silos but not to flat storage This arrangement is designed to preclude the possibility of contamination of one commodity with another The second pit is reserved for edibles and noncontaminables and feeds direct to vessel flat storage and silos The truck dumper is capable of lifting backunloading trailers to an angle of 60 It is in line with the rail pit transfer systems and is connected to all storage locations as well as the continued The Colonels Island Facility will represent the state of the art in dry bulk handling and storage MarchApr 1982 ship loader Twentytwo foot wide paved roads TcIcrnH circle the facility providing ready terminal access and transit back to nearby highway systems Inbound cargo is placed in flat storage by a 2000 ton per hour travelling stacker The unit is capable of raising a 51 foot high storage pile 130 feet wide Product is retrieved from flat storage by a reclaimer which scrapes it onto an outbound belt The depth of cut for each pass can be varied from 2 to 6 inches depending on the commodity being handled Each silo is equipped with three screw feeders for unloading Operating together they can remove 1630 tons per hour from storage All silos feature vibrating bottoms to Help maintain free flow during emptying The travelling ship loader will reach out to 65 feet to pile material aboard vessels It is equipped with a telescoping spout which retracts as the stack rises to prevent product bruising and dusting Loading speed which can reach 2000 tons per hour is controlled by the ship loader operator Based on his view of the operation he must be in the position to control the flow rate as well as shutdown for shifting the equipment in or between hatches The flow diagram gives a clear indication of the amazing interstation movement capability of the facility At the heart of the system is the transfer house with its control center The transfer house operator is responsible for determining source and path for any material movement Located atop the transfer house the control room provides a clear view of the entire facility enabling the operator to visually verify that his input commands are being executed The considerable capabilities of the handling machinery permit a number of simultaneous operations as well Product can be received from unloading stations to storage while other stored material in adjacent areas is being routed to a vessel One rail pit can be dumped to FLOW DIAGRAM Colonels Island Bulk Facility The diagram exhibits the amazing ioadingunloadingtransfer versatility of

the other is feeding the ship loader These are just two examples of the flexibility engineered into the facility The designation multiproduct implies clean up between handling of different commodities The time normally devoted to such operations at other terminals will be drastically reduced at Colonels Island At every transfer point unloading station and at the ship unloader integrated vacuum systems have been provided These consist of strategically placed hose connections At transfer locations operators simply attach flexible hoses to reach any and all areas requiring scrub down The system is designed to retrieve over 90 of all material much of which can be salvaged for return into the loading sequence The dust collection system also gathers material for restorage All handling points including the shiploader are enclosed protected and equipped with collection equipment Besides the obvious reduction in cargo Colonels Island bulk facility site design incorporates ample room for expansion The City of Brunswick offers an unparalleled blend of scenic beauty tradition and progress lost the collection and vacuum systems effectively eliminate the escape of product dust from the premises Container parking spaces have been provided to accommodate boxes for or from vessels calling the facility Dock construction permits mobile cranes to reach ships for such handling Annual throughput capability for the facility will be 15 million tons Early marketing intelligence predicts that over 13 million will be handled in the first full year of operation This rapid rise to capacity would seem to indicate that utilization of the expansion capability which has been incorporated in design may not be far off The deepwater shoreline will accept a total of five full berths Shoreside space has been provided for a doubling of flat storage to 200000 square feet and later construction of another building of similar size Forty or more continued MarchApril 1982 15 Colonels Island silos could be easily added in the available space These allowances are reflective of an optimism founded in careful long range analyses of world trade and bulk shipping trends in particular Considerable acreage is also available at Colonels Island for location of firms not requiring deepwater transportation capability The other advantages of strategic location labor availability and productivity inland carrier availability and climate remain in effect The completion of SCMs new facility and construction start up on GPAs bulk terminal will catalyze a dramatic long range development period for Colonels Island Brunswick A Rising Star Projections for world trade even in the midst of current economic hard times call for continued growth with volumes doubling this decade US excellence in food and mineral production technological hardware equipment and machinery forest products and consumer goods dictate that this countrys participation will increase in parallel Among the growth commodities agricultural and minerals rank high The bulk emphasis at BrunswickColonels Island represents an aggressive attempt to capture a major share of these markets Continued emphasis will of course be directed to the breakbulk arena as well As established ports have exhausted site availability and exceeded harbor traffic capacity increasing attention has been focused on other locations This scrutiny has produced a keen awareness that the alternatives are extremely limited with the exception of Brunswick Its combination of established facilities and services and expansion potential make it a definite candidate to become a leading beneficiary of future US trade increases ISLANDS OF By Robert J Reimold One of the dividends of the golden marshes is the prolific production of some of the worlds best shrimp Although coastal Georgia never experienced a gold rush people who hear of Brunswick and the Golden Isles situated midway between Savannah Ga and Jacksonville FI frequently inquire where the islands of gold are Early settlers from Europe penned long descriptive letters to relatives telling of the beauty and wonders of the Golden Isles Serious nature study conducted by 18th century Philadelphia naturalist William Bartram resulted in many accounts of the vast quantities of renewable natural resources awaiting the visitors to the Georgia coast Nineteenth century poet Sidney Lanier characterized the riches of the Golden Isles how ample the marsh and the sea and the sky ye marshes how candid and simple and nothingwithholding and free ye publish yourselves to the sky and offer yourselves to the sea The Golden Isles were first discovered by Spanish in the early 1500s although they had been inhabited by Indians for centuries Soon the French arrived and challenged the Spanish holdings After the defeat of the French the English arrived in the late 1600s and early 1700s and founded a new home at Frederica on St Simons Island After the Battle of Bloody Marsh and the overwhelming defeat of the Spanish the English set a firm foundation on the riches of the Golden Isles 16 AnchorAge While the average daily range of the tide is seven feet in the Golden Isles spring tides associated with each full and new moon often cover the marshes with their range of over nine feet Gold also was present in the Golden Isles in the form of real gold Edward Teach also known as Blackbeard the Pirate made his home on Blackbeard Island He used this as a base of operation for his labors on the high seas during the early 1700s Other families with more legitimate claims to their gold formed a club of millionaires Known simply as the Millionaires Club the Astors Rockefellers Vanderbilts Cranes Morgans and others established a winter home on the western edge of Jekyll Island These early visitors realized the value of undisturbed beaches and the safety of RENEWABLE RICHES BEYOND IMAGINATION ipfl MHHjlil 1 HHH building homes close enough to the beach to walk to it yet far enough away to avoid problems with erosion Still today just as the Millionaires enjoyed a trip to the beach at night to watch a vital activity of special sea life on a starlit clear night on the warm sandy beach so tourists from all over the world come to Jekyll to enjoy the rare event of sea turtles nesting on the Jekyll beaches These amazing endangered creatures of the ocean crawl up on the shores to nest and lay their eggs from May to August as they have done each year for centuries These islands of gold are not really new Most of them were formed over 35000 years ago with the newest parts of the beaches of Sea Island and East Beach St Simons Island being formed only in the past 4000 years These islands are among the sea islands that stretch from the northern Florida coast to the northern South Carolina coast They are dynamic piles of sand subject to erosion by northeast windgenerated South Atlantic ocean waves as well as accretion or beach build up of sand as a result of gently blowing southeast zephyrs The beaches of these Golden Isles are at the forefront of large scale oceano graphic circulation that brings nutrient rich water shoreward from the Gulf Stream where it mixes with the large quantities of silt clay and nutrients brought seaward from the river systems and coastal marshes In between this labyrinth of islands whose beaches form the frontier on which our ancestors took their first step when arriving in this country is a broad expanse of some of the best biologically productive real estate on the face of the earth The Golden Isles maintain their gold connotation partly because of the multicolored gold tones which the marsh plants express over the change of the seasons Not just associated with the fall color when the leaves lose their chlorophyll the changes in golden green golden yellow and golden brown are displayed by the plants throughout the year Gold implies riches and there is more to it than just a gold color When a farmer looks at the beauty of a wheat or com crop he sees gold in his eyes not only from the aesthetic experience of viewing the golden fields of waving grain but also because of the high food and cash value of his crop The Golden Isles have the same benefits but in a more economical cost effective way The vast expanse of nearly a half million acres of Georgias coastal marshlands is one of the most biologically productive places on the face of the earth Think of it as a farm field Plants are perennials and do not depend on replanting seed from the past years crop The plants grow in the nutrient rich soils consisting of sediment that resulted from erosion that has taken some of the best parts of inland farm fields seaward Twice each day the seven foot rise and fall of the tide brings in fresh nutrients bathes the leaves and roots of the marsh plants and carries waste products seaward The salt water acts as a biological inhibitor to many plants we call them weeds that might compete with the marsh grass Consequently the marsh grass grows and flourishes in this area where golden sunlight is abundant When the plants die the action of the tide breaks off the dead plants and carries them seaward As they make this progressive seaward movement with each slosh of the ebb and flood of the tide the plants decay They form a thick rich brown nutrient soup which serves as a vital food for most of the animals living in the protected estuarine waters In fact over threefourths of all animals living in our coastal waters depend on the rich production of these marshes You cant eat marsh grass I hear you say Well no youre correct but you do enjoy all those succulent white shrimp salty oysters and blue crabs dont you How about the flounder you had for dinner recently You might be surprised to learn that these creatures all depend on the A Golden Sword of Sea Oats adorns the beaches of the Golden Isles The extensive root system of this plant helps the sand dunes defend the attack of erosive northeast wind generated waves production of the marsh plants and the dead marsh grass which we call detritus in order to live When you compare the amount of wheat or com produced on the best acre of Iowa farmland with the amount of plant material produced on an acre of Golden Isles salt marsh you find the Golden Isles acre produces more but with less You see you dont need the fossil fuel energy to plant the crop apply fertilizer eliminate the weeds nor harvest the crop The natural action of the tide its twice daily ebb and flood accomplishes all of this but at no

business of exporting oil This has nothing to do however with petrochemicals Rather the commodities involved are edible oils International purchases oils in bulk and packages them for export The firm has the capability to fill 1 2 and 5 gallon containers both cans and plastic and 30 and 55 gallon drums The operation utilizes an extreme high speed filling line according to company President John Gibbs At the present time International Filling is packaging soybean salad oil The product is being placed into one gallon cans and subsequently is shipped to South America and Africa Consignments go out both in containers and palletized breakbulk Gibbs indicates that the firm will be expanding its commodity list to include any and all edible oils including corn cottonseed sunflower olive and peanut oils Gibbs attributes the firms early success to several factors Were a custom packer he states Were not tied to a product line where were restricted to certain labels he added Gibbs indicated that this independent status permitted International Filling to offer its customers rate and service incentives not available through other fillers This same flexibility coupled with the comparatively small size of Internationals operation enables the firm to accept unusual or difficult orders Included among these are those requiring unusual containers or special packaging Also the company can economically process the smaller orders routinely rejected by larger firms due to limited profit potential As is the case with so many area shippers Gibbs listed location as a key V factor in the decision to situate in International Fillings high speed production line fills oil containers quickly and economically Savannah The port city provides ready access to a number of major production centers for edible oils with excellent rail and highway amenities facilitating port delivery After packaging the trip from Internationals Savannah plant to the docks is a short one indeed Located at

The 16 ships loaded carried the product to a diverse list of destinations including Denmark England Italy Israel Rumania Norway and Spain Joe Mitchell Manager of Continental Grains Savannah operations

factors combined with the growing volumes being processed through the mill strongly suggest centralization of export operations Chapman added If were right about the competitive advantage wed only want to call in and out of Brunswick As mill operations reach full throttle the Carib Eve and the Carib Dawn will need to provide a total f three calls monthly to handle anticipated production This

ALL THE WAY In the interests of handling economy Mid South Feeds of Nashville Tennessee has constructed a feed mill at Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick Terminal The firm has been a regular shipper through the port for some time but had previously accomplished its milling at inland locations Elton Chapman President of Mid South indicated the mill is capable of performing the total grinding and mixing job Describing the function of the unit he stated It will receive whole grains and other feed ingredients and turn them into what we in the industry call formula feeds A variety of products will ultimately find their way to Brunswick to be processed including corn soybean meal meat scrap fish meal and animal fat Most of these raw materials originate in the Midwest with a smaller quantity emanating from points in the Southeast including Georgia The material will be arriving by rail cars which will be bottom unloaded at both the existing dump station and at a new location adjacent to the mill The ultramodern mill was constructed at a cost of approximately 800000 Chapman praised its operating capabilities calling it the most modern computerized labor efficient feed mill that American technology can build Testimony to its ease and economy of operation is the fact that it will ultimately be operated at its 80 ton per hour capacity by a staff of only three two operations personnel and one computer operator The output of the mill will be destined for Mid Souths Caribbean customers Properly designated animal and poultry feeds andor feed ingredients these products will be used in a variety of livestock and poultry applications Proximity to potential markets was one of the critical considerations in Mid Souths selection of Brunswick as the port to construct their mill Brunswick is nearer to the Caribbean Middle East and Africa Chapman observed closer than New Orleans for instance Chapman cited GPA enthusiasm towards his proposal as a key attraction Another important consideration was the availability of service by two railroads Chapman felt this provided the shipper with an expanded purchasing area allowing him to more effectively compete with the river barge service via New Orleans He felt that freedom to operate in the most cost effective manner without restric tive port authority requirements was a big plus Lack of port congestion ranked high on Chapmans list of Brunswick advantages He described it as a small but efficient port He felt Brunswicks relative size lent increased stature to Mid South as a tenant and shipper In Brunswick were not a small fish in a big pond he remarked The single most important consideration in the companys port selection process was inland freight cost At the center of Mid Souths decision to build at a port was the potential savings due to reduced inland freight and elimination of one step of the production process Previously the raw materials were shipped from the various sources to inland mills where they were ground and mixed The finished product was then reloaded in bulk or bags for transport to a deepwater port for subsequent unloading and marshalling The portsituated mill combines the processing

tremendous economic advantage Chapman has difficulty bridling his enthusiasm when discussing the future of the new enterprise If this is as successful as we now believe it will be the future is virtually unlimited he stated He backs his confidence with a prediction of 200000 tons throughput for calendar 1983 and the assertion that Brunswick will become known asFeedport USA in the not too distant future This issues lead story details the Brunswick scenario present and future The thing that makes that future so exciting is the fact that our optimism is shared by so many shippers and carriers Georgia Ports will back its Brunswick commitment with 56 million in expenditures over the next 5 years Mid South has expended 800000 in its new venture Investments such as these will insure that the predicted emergence of Brunswick as the bulk megaport of the South Atlantic will become a reality 38 Anchor Age The opening of berth 4 at CONTAINERPORT Savannah coincided with acceptance of container crane 4 for operation Now erection has begun on crane 5 as well The new unit is expected to be in operation by July 1 Crane 5 is being constructed to the same specifications as its sister units It will be rated at 90000 lbs and will have an average cycle time of 90 seconds With a backreach equal to its 118 foot outreach it will be ideally configured for restowing vessels without truck transfer of boxes to temporary storage Like crane 4 it will be equipped with curve capable trucks which will permit it to transit all four berths Total berth length has now reached 3675 feet This arrangement will permit use of multiple cranes on a single vessel throughout the berthing area Container Crane Components have also begun arriving for crane 6 Identical to 5 it will join the fleet in the fall of this year Upon its completion CONTAINERPORT will boast a half dozen of the fastest most reliable cranes anywhere Design of the three newest units will allow placement of all six at berths 13 and of 3 cranes along the 1200 foot berth 4 By the time crane 6 is operational CONTAINERPORT will have become a four berth complex with 6 cranes 6 straddle cranes and 12 toplifts It will be backed up by nearly 200 acres of paved storage and 200000 square feet of CFS space The 14 lane gatescale complex minimizes interchange times Computerization of inventory and accountability has been

dedicated lines These steps keep costs to a minimum putting the computer within financial reach of the average forwarding firm Cope will be using the system in his own office and estimates it permits him to operate with one less person on his staff The versatile unit will a take information from shippers b prepare documents c permit shipper access to stored information and d perform basic accounting functions Summarizing Cope describes his computer as a very innovative thing for the small freight forwarder The common denominator among Georgias maritime agencies has always been

national President of the Propeller Club of the United States visited Savannah recently for a harbor tour and meetings with local maritime interests On the second day of his stay he boarded an Atlantic Towing tug for a riverside look at the waterfront This was followed by a landside tour of terminal facilities After his orientation trip Wolter spoke at the regular monthly meeting of Savannahs Propeller Club He began his remarks by praising the local group indicating it was recognized nationally as a progressive club He cited the awarding of the 1985 Propeller Club national convention to the port city as evidence of its stature Discussing the role of the club Wolter described it as a force in the maritime arena both locally and nationally He discussed its role as a device for educating the general public on the importance of the maritime industry He called for a mass education effort and characterized the ongoing US Merchant Marine Promotion Committee program as an important first step He indicated that the first of four broadsides of television spots have already been circulated and have generated overwhelming positive response Wolter continued with an analysis of pending harbor maintenance and improvement legislation He summarized his position stating Our industry is threatened by inequitable user charges He cited the need for continued development

greater share of what they perceive as a vibrant and growing market Their ability to do so will be greatly enhanced by the fact that Savannah will generally be the last US port called outbound This arrangement coupled with Savannahs geographic proximity to South America will provide shippers with excellent transit times and corresponding The newly built Elma Siete virtually glistens during her

inflicted on important infrastructure systems throughout the region Under the AID Program the United States is attempting to assist with much needed repairs and emplacement of advanced installations A shipment of pipe which recently crossed Garden City Terminal is an excellent example The pipe was destined for Egypt It is to be utilized to rehabilitate the water systems for the cities of Port Said Ismailia and Suez City All of the lengths of pipe were to be discharged at Port Said for delivery to the various construction sites The MV Walter Rice represented locally by Southeastern Maritime delivered the cargo American Cast Iron Pipe Company of Birmingham Alabama produced the pipe The individual sections ranged from 150 to 1200 millimeters in diameter The wide variety of sizes is accounted for by the fact that the shipment included everything from the main distribution arteries down through the lines which run up to the front of the individual dwellings in the service area In total the consignment comprised approximately 10000 pieces with a combined weight of 10000 tons Savannah proffered a number of advantages which led to its selection for the move In view of the high volume to weight ratio of the cargo the amount of dockside open storage available at Garden City Terminals berth 51 was a critical consideration With 250 rail cars involved in delivering the pipe the availability of reliable rail service into Savannah trackage Part of the shipping team for the pipe was on scene to observe loading operations Pictured are I to r Herbert N Baker Jr Executive Vice

key factors as well During her stay SEMCO stevedores and the local ILA worked the vessel using two mobile cranes two GPA gantries and a large fleet of lift trucks to keep the pipe moving Southeastern Maritimes involvement will extend to Egypt as well The Walter Rice is gearless so SEMCO is leasing 4 mobile cranes to make the trip to Egypt with the vessel They will be able to travel on deck and will be utilized to discharge the pipe at Port Said As freight forwarders for American Cast Iron Pipe John S James Co was closely involved with planning and monitoring the movement A large fleet of

Ocean Terminal berths 1 and 2 with minimal delays and zero damage to cargo The end result was a stable motionresistant load in all hatches Based on their ultimate destination several nonstandard features were incorporated into these trailers according to David Leggett of continued The countries of the Middle East have developed a reputation for block buying that produces heated competition

such sizeable contract The local Great Dane facility exported a total of 150 piggyback reefer units Each of the units was 132 feet high 8 feet wide and 47 feet long including the refrigeration equipment They weighed in at 18000 lbs apiece An extraordinary amount of preparation on the part of the local maritime agencies went into execution of this export move Special false decks had to be fabricated for holds 1 and 5 aboard the MV Molda to carry the full shipment Bill Bass of Carolina Shipping agent for the vessel reports that Diamond Manufacturings design and construction of the decks provided ideal midlevel storage for 16 of the trailers Two special spreader bars for lifting the piggybacks also had to be built Carolina Stevedores constructed the 40 foot long spreaders Main

heavier tandem and tougher tires were included in the package Leggett indicated the units were generally beefedup to withstand the rigors of heavy use in the Middle East Representing the customer throughout the planning design and loading stages was the Jennings Company As freight forwarders for Great Dane they were intrinsically involved in putting together the package which ultimately resulted in the safe expeditious loading of the piggyback reefers Fabricators at Carolina Stevedores put the finishing touches on one of the specially built spreader bars which were used to lift Great Danes trailers The demands of project shipping often exceed those of transporting other cargoes Machinery rolling stock and industrial components present problems of size weight volume and cargo protection unique to the project arena Successful attraction and handling of project cargoes can only be accomplished by a total port The flawless handling of Great Danes trailers is proof positive that Savannah certainly belongs in that category When American business can offer a competitive product on the international market it is incumbent on the transportation segment to keep shipping addons to an absolute minimum Businessmen importing project shipments into the Middle East look for the same excellence in handling as in the product itself Great Dane has convinced their buyer they can produce high quality goods The Port of Savannah has consistently proven it can deliver them As a result Great Danes stated optimism as to the likelihood of repeat business is obviously wellfounded

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority In the halls of the Georgia Ports Authoritys new administrative offices acronyms such as GPACS and GPAWS are being heard with increasing frequency These abbreviations for our computerized administrative and operational systems reflect our thrust toward total electronic accountability The engineering of the new building itself testifies to the trend in that most of the offices have been wired to accept computer terminals GPACS the Georgia Ports Authority Containerport System has been a showcase for innovation and customer responsiveness since its inception Initially internal control of inventory and billing were included in the program with significant reductions in turnaround time and manpower utilization Subsequently terminals were situated throughout the facility permitting instantaneous location of containers status checks and transmission of special orders The latest improvement to GPACS has been the extension of on line capability to nonGPA agencies The first to join the net was US Customs which selects containers for inspection and issues orders and releases via a CRT located in their offices at the CFS complex More recently a dozen brokers steamship agents and line offices have come on line Their successes with the system have prompted several others to order equipment while still more are seriously investigating the benefits of participation Included among the list of hot prospects are more brokers and agents motor carriers and importers and exporters A number of these are located outside of Savannah and will soon join GPAs New York Trade Development office as out of town users Essentially installation of the terminal in the customers office permits proprietary access to all information pertinent to his containers from arrival through departure at CONTAINERPORT He can access information as to location loading or inlanding schedule performance of special services chassis availability and Customs and US DA status In addition the customer can issue special orders releases and prenotification of inland arrival by a simple keyboard entry without exchange of paperwork Finally the system automatically routes the information directly to the responsible executing authority within GPA Taking the experience derived from the development of our container systems we have embarked upon an ambitious program to computerize our breakbulk cargo systems as well This project will extend the same order and inventory capabilities to the full range of breakbulks The new GPAWS system will interface with existing GPACS programs at CFS to permit electronic monitoring of stuffing and stripping operations as well GPAWS will be operational for import cargoes by the beginning of the next year with export capability to be added shortly thereafter Further in the future computerization will reach to the Brunswick East River Terminal the Colonels Island bulk complex now under construction and GPA Trade Development offices worldwide Based upon keen interest throughout the maritime sector the list of private users should continue its impressive growth as well On the equipment side the November move to our new offices was accompanied by a switch to a new computer effectively quadrupling capacity while reducing per unit operating cost by one third The new machine is designed to readily handle the increasing number of outside hookups we are now experiencing To further serve the many on line customers GPA is investigating dispersed data processing for basic retrieval collation and calculations This move will free more main frame time for essential computation and communication with remote terminals Georgia Ports Authority operates under the philosophy that modern facilities are only as valuable as the terminal operators ability to expedite cargo through them We have assembled the data processing staff and equipment to support our efforts to achieve maximum efficiency With the computer emerging as todays most comprehensive business tool the Georgia Ports Authority operating in the ports of Savannah and Brunswick has prepared itself to offer its customers the maximum cost and communication benefits to be derived from creative data processing 2 Anchor Age aaiitfsin OCliU For Our Current Full Color Catalog NOW Describing All Shipside Services NAME TITLE

degrees is obtained but is held for a shorter period Thereafter the milk is cooled to 70 Fahrenheit the temperature at which it can be dry stored for up to three months The product will be sold in a 17 state area of the southern US the islands of the Atlantic and South and Central America by the UHT Division of Dairymen Dairymen is one of the largest milk marketing cooperatives in the US owned by 8000 dairy farmers The organization points to its success with its FlavORich line as an example of its production and marketing expertise A doubling of sales since 1977 for the brand bears testimony to the validity of their claims Dairymens UHT facility is nearing completion in the Savannah Port Authoritys industrial park The 116000 square foot plant carries a price tag of 16 million and will begin production on July 1 Output capacity will be 80000 gallons per day Opposite Lab technicians constantly monitor the UHT milk product and packaging for quality consistency and integrity Above One million pounds of stainless steel components were flown in for Dairymens UHT plant in Savannah Much of it went into this automatic palletizingsystem Like the mixing filling and packaging processes palletizing is computer controlled and utilizes a revolutionary oneofakind laser reader for sorting The producers of the raw milk which will be HT treated are scattered throughout the southern rim Savannahs location at the heart of Dairymens supply network was a critical factor in the decision to locate in Savannah Harry A Knight Director of Sales and Marketing for the UHT Division outlined the major site selection criteria stating The primary considerations were the availability of dairy farmers the presence of a beautiful deepwater seaport the quality of life in the City of Savannah and a ready labor pool Dairymen will utilize the port facilities to export a portion of their production according to Knight He stated Im projecting that MAYJUNE 1982 5 Above Packaging plays a critical role in maintaining UHT milk during nonrefrigerated storage Dairymens UHT production center right is located at the Savannah Port Authoritys Industrial Park located only minutes from GPAs Garden City Terminal Installation of the highly complex pasteurization and packaging equipment is proceeding on schedule towards the July 1 opening liik Without Refrigeration starting out 5 of our total business should be in exports with steady annual share increases thereafter Initially sales will be concentrated in Puerto Rico the Caribbean basin and Central and South America and this is where export marketing efforts are being concentrated Knight also reports feelers from several other areas including the Middle East Because it is produced from Grade A milk UHT retains the same taste freshness and nutritional benefits as regular milk No preservatives are utilized in its production Its prolonged shelf life makes it ideal for institutional and vending applications as well as travel and outdoor recreation UHT milk eliminates the need for refrigerated transportation and storage greatly reducing costs normally associated with these two steps of the delivery cycle Because it is handled as a warehouse item it is much less labor intense By displaying UHT milk on standard dry goods shelving stores can conserve refrigerated cabinet space reduce electrical consumption and achieve greater flexibility in display and merchandising The key to UHTs product stability is a revolutionary package The 5ply container permits aseptic packaging inside layers of plasticcoated aluminum foil The container known as the Brik Pak is hermetically sealed precluding light air or bacterial contamination The cartons will be available in quart and half pint sizes Dairymen researched its venture carefully and survey and sampling work showed tremendous promise for the product Based on convenience and portability a majority expressed initial interest in buying UHT milk and the approval rate increased following taste tests Those tasting the product consistently described it as indistinguishable from refrigerated milk Surprisingly Dairymen will be able to market its product at highly competitive prices Transportation and storage economies will enable stores to sell UHT milk at prices comparable to or only slightly higher than the refrigerated variety Dairymen is banking that its other advantages will make the sale Knight notes Our marketing research shows that the consumer is willing to pay the difference for the added convenience Knight has been making customer calls and traveling the trade show circuit and he reports that response has been excellent He expects the interest to surge even higher when he achieves full sampling capability UHT marketing efforts include a display at the ongoing Worlds Fair in Knoxville Savannah has become a major beneficiary of the industrialization of the new South Increasing numbers of industries are shipping raw materials components and finished goods to and from inland locations A growing number of firms such as Dairymen are opting for port location as the answer to their site selection needs Considerations of location access and reduced inland transportation cost have made Savannah a most attractive industrial and distribution alternative Harry Knight explaining the decision to locate in Savannah sums it up simply stating All the things that lead to a site decision of this type fell into place in Savannah Georgia Harry Knight left is the Director of Sales and Marketing for the UHT Division of Dairymen His recent travels have taken him far afield to market the firms new Milk Without Refrigeration Here he speaks to a prospective customer at the CaribUSA exhibition in San Juan Puerto Rico MAYJUNE 1982 Ample

100 countries In addition the company maintains representative and administrative offices worldwide Yokohama Tires product line includes passenger car heavy and light truck and offroad tires John Blair US Director of Operations for the firm pointed to a 40000 mile new tire guarantee as an indication of Yokohamas manufacturing excellence He indicated that the truck and offroad tires arecommonly mentioned as being of a quality similar to the top lines of their more highly priced competitors Yokohama has been operating in the US for approximately 12 years having achieved widespread popularity in the trucking industry More recently the firm has captured 20 of the business in original equipment tires for imported Japanese automobiles and their name recognition among the general public has escalated accordingly Yokohama Tires Savannah operation will be temporarily headquartered at GPAs Warehouse II at Ocean Terminal This spacious dockproximate facility provides the ideal setting for Yokohamas handling of the 400 containerloads expected to flow through during the first year A total of 50000 square feet of the building will be dedicated to the new operation From Savannah the tires

Superintendent 9 The decision to locate in Savannah was the result of extensive site comparisons Yokohama retained the Fantus Corporation a major locational consultant to cost analyze a number of alternatives Fantus applied a computerized model for leased cost operations for scenarios ranging from 1 10 separate warehouses nationwide For each increment the results indicated a southern port facility and closer final examination resulted in the choice of Savannah John Blair outlined the selection criteria stating Key factors included excellent inland freight service and rates location facilities and service at the port and the number of containers and vessels coming in from Japan Initially Yokohama was planning to overland the majority of the containers in from West Coast ports During Fantus study local interests encouraged a look at the allwater alternative Close scrutiny revealed cost and service advantages which will result in the boxes being water transported directly from Japan to Savannah The existence in the port of other major Far East distribution centers such as KMart and Kawasaki provided the frequent competitive steamship service and excellent container availability that helped attract Yokohama Tire Yokohamas plans for their Savannah operation extend well beyond phase I levels By the end of the three year tenancy at Ocean Terminal the firm intends to construct its own facility Square footage will be expanded a minimum of four times with parallel increases in volumes Within 57 years Yokohama will service its total market area east of Texas from the Savannah location Ultimate destinations for tires leaving Savannah will include the entire South East and Midwest For more and more firms engaged in the importexport business port location is emerging as the obvious distribution and consolidation alternative By eliminating the cost and delay of an additional inland transport leg companies are enhancing their Dock proximity is a cost saver for distribution warehousing The Ocean Terminal Warehouse II door lies just a few yards from Slip II competitive posture while availing themselves of the transportation infrastructure already in place at most harbors Savannah is already well established as a major center for such operations and the recent Ocean Terminal land acquisition has provided additional dockside sites for development of even

Much has been made lately of the emergence of Savannah as the Caribbean Alternative More and more shippers have examined the inland transportation economics via Savannah and discovered that the bottom line is indeed lower The Seabulk Islander loads Caribbean bound cargoes at GPAs specialty forest product handling center Ocean Terminal berths I and II AnchorAge Predictably increased attention for the port city as the Caribbean Alternative among shippers and receivers of island cargoes has had the effect of swelling the ranks of carriers plying these trade routes The latest addition is Seabulk Caribbean Initially Seabulk will offer scheduled service every 40 days to San Juan Puerto Rico with inducement service available to the Dominican Republic The carrier will utilize large barges in the run Handling versatility is the central theme of Seabulk Caribbeans early marketing efforts The line is soliciting breakbulk palletized cargo containers heavy lift and large bulky cargo Each of the barges can accommodate 110 TEUs of containers in addition to its breakbulk loads Vessel operating costs are dictating reduced calls on itineraries In that regard Seabulk has elected to make Savannah its only South Atlantic stopover Hank Dunn of Strachan Shipping local representatives for Seabulk indicated that the decision to call here was influenced by the discontinuation of the old GCML service This opening coupled with the growing volumes of Caribbean bound breakbulk cargoes cropping up in Savannah provided the impetus for inclusion of the port city on the schedule A number of cargoes indigenous to the Port of Savannah are of particular interest to Seabulk Among forest products the line is heavily soliciting lumber plywood and unitized commodities Others include containers heavy lifts extra long pieces and in general any palletized or palletizable goods The first barge the Seabulk Islander captured sizable lots of exactly these types of cargoes loading lumber and linerboard With substantial first call bookings the new service is off to a sound start Hank Dunn indicates that continued success could result in the addition of more vessels in the future with resultant improvements in service frequency While Seabulk Caribbean is a new venture the line can point to the background of its parent company as proof of its professionalism and stability Hvide Marine Transport has been in the business for 35 years and operates a number of subsidiaries engaged in maritime endeavors With early projections being met or exceeded it would appear that Seabulk is

shippers with the recent retirement of John McBride McBride left Buckeye Cellulose Corporation after a career which spanned 30 years His most recent position was that of Shipping Project Manager McBride was instrumental in initiating Buckeyes forest product unitization programs During his tenure the firm became the first SoutheasternGulf company to unitize such commodities The innovation set the example for the industry and has become the rule for economical transport of a number of different forest products Over the years Buckeye has steadily increased its utilization of Georgias ports By inviting comparison by transportation professionals such as John McBride the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick have prospered His consistent use of both has proven equally valuable to his company in terms of their ability to compete in the international marketplace At the ceremony marking his retirement John McBride right shares time with Savannah Mayor John Rousakis left and GPA Assistant

include Felixstowe Liverpool Manchester Bremen Rotterdam and Antwerp Inducement service is available to Aberdeen Glasgow London and Ebjsberg One of Mat Lines charters will be calling Savannah each

unparalleled growth in container volumes breakbulks have continued to occupy a significant share of Savannahs cargo mix Because of the ports proximity to an entire network of lumber and pulp mills and

product trade between Savannah and that part of the world has quickened Volumes of these commodities have suffered recently from the world economic slowdown Nonetheless it is only a matter of a short

destined for the Middle East More recently the second visit by one of the lines vessels occurred with the visit of the MV Altair She also called at GPAs East River Terminal in Brunswick during the same voyage According to Bill Bass of Carolina Shipping agents for Gearbulk this newfound interest in Georgias ports emanates from a recent marketing analysis Gearbulk representatives made a sweep through this area late last year decided there was cargo to be had and theyre going after it he observed The Altair loaded almost 12000 metric tons The MV Altair confirmed Gearbulks interest in Georgias deepwater ports when she called Savannah and Brunswick to load forest products and containers of breakbulk cargo including baled woodpulp kraft linerboard and corrugated medium during its stopovers at Brunswick and Savannah In addition she exhibited her transport flexibility by accepting 50 twenty foot containers loaded with linerboard The vessel is equipped such that she could also

shipload lots of dry bulks The carrier is headquartered in Bergen Norway The MV Molda made Gearbulks first Savannah call to load piggyback reefers At this time Gearbulk has not committed itself to a regular service Nevertheless visits by two of their vessels in such a short period would certainly seem to signify a keen interest in cargoes moving through Georgias ports Add to this the fact that Carolina reports another vessel is scheduled to call to load linerboard next month and the impression becomes even more definite Gearbulk is the latest evidence that when carriers look at Georgias

Trade Association SUSTA is an association of state departments of agriculture engaged in the promotion of food and agricultural exports from its member states One of the most important avenues available to the organization is participation in foodagriculture trade shows Two events which regularly include sizeable SUSTA contingents are the annual Food and Agricultural Trade Show in New Orleans and the CaribUSA Food Exhibit in San Juan Puerto Rico Each regularly attracts thousands of buyers from as many as fifty foreign countries to sample products and talk price with a wide range of suppliers By helping to organize the shows and informing US producers of their availability SUSTA provides a convenient effective sales tool particularly for those firms whose size precludes extensive one on one marketing efforts Georgia Ports Authority obviously not a food producer is nonetheless a regular participant in SUSTAs food exhibitions When a buyer and supplier meet and an agreement is struck delivery becomes the next item to be worked out With its excellent diversified steamship portfolio top facilities and strategic location Georgia Ports is in an excellent position to sell

multilevel museum located in a restored cotton factory warehouse overlooking the Savannah River For the nautical minded the museum is a treasure trove of coveted items that would look ohsogood in the home library or den Founded by Mills B Lane in 1966 the museum is visited by thousands of tourists annually Savannahians who feel theyve seen the museum are missing a treat by not visiting more often Attention to detail among the many nautical models on display at the Ships of the Sea museum is nothing short of amazing MAYJUNE 1982 41 New exhibits are continually added and all are of the quality shown in the Ships named Eagle display which features recently commissioned and builtforthemuseum models of the original revenue cutter Eagle built here in 1793 and todays US Coast Guard training vessel Eagle Museum Curator Anna Ferguson says tourists sometimes miss the museum when a wife vetoes her husbands desire to explore the museum with the nautical name But they both miss out since all the displays can be admired by either sex and some like the delicate scrimshaw carvings and the fragile bone chinaware table settings cry out to be admired by a womans eye Ships models range from the very tiny to that photographers dream the Flying Cloud a fivefoothigh sevenfootlong replica of the famous clipper ship The model is constructed of more than 30000 parts and pieces made of teak and is

warship bearing a brass battering ram dating from the year 400 BC and dozens more But models alone do not a maritime museum make and Ships of the Sea is so nautical its hardwood decks and the brightwork gleam in the justright light of ships lanterns A ships chandlery in the museum carries the incidentals sailors of old bought when ashore to carry to distant lands And further along one finds a wellstocked library of maritime books all of which beg to be savored from the snug confines of a bunk Boldcolored enamel paint brightens the ravaged faces and forms of ships figureheads carvings that knew well the taste of salt when wooden ships dipped their bows to the swells of green water A ships carpentry shop features woodcarving tools casually displayed as if the artisan had merely laid them aside while he went down to the docks to watch them unload rum from the islands The woodworker may have watched yesterdays breakbulk cargoes of resin and lumber loaded for export too as depicted at the museum in an exhibit which features the cargoes shipped from Savannahs docks 100 years ago and including of course King flptton m multicolored parrot cavorts inside an elaborate eightfoothigh iron cage within the museums front door and the antics of the shortbodied harshvoiced macaw easily conjour up images of pirates and buried treasure 4 Museum fare includes not only ship models but a wide variety of other artifacts as well display of more than 50 ships named for the Port City Included is the SS Savannah the first steamship to cross the Atlantic in her historic run which began from the mouth of the Savannah River May 22 1819 and ended 29 days later in Liverpool England The museum carefully housing its treasures of yesterday also stands witness to the nautical

POLICY Twenty years ago this month on May 14 1962 Congress converted into law House Joint Resolution No 628 introduced in February of that year by Representative Oren Harris DArk then Chairman of the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim National Transportation Week each year in the week in May in which falls the third Friday of the month This resolution contained in its preamble the declaration that Transportation has changed the United States from a wilderness to a rich homeland and brought the shores of the Atlantic seaboard closer to the waters of the Pacific and is even today by land by water and in the air knitting the United States more firmly into one nation indivisible Transportation has given the farmer a market in the city for his products and the city worker an outlet for the goods he has manufactured A prosperous and efficient transportation system is vital to the defense of the United States President John Kennedy issued the first annual National Transportation Week proclamation in 1962 Twenty years later President Reagan included in his proclamation the observations that the great capacity of our transportation system to move supplies and to transport men and equipment in times of emergency is a cornerstone of our defense It allows our nation to respond rapidly and in force to threats to our security anywhere in the world In this span of 20 years much credit for the success of National Transportation Week is due Traffic Clubs International and its leadership Not to be overlooked are the individual contributions of such publications as Traffic World Handling Shipping and others There have been dramatic changes in the last 20 years in transportation and traffic management First Congress saw fit to deregulate the air industry The Staggers Rail Act of 1980 and the Motor Carrier Reform Act of 1980 have all impacted on our daily life styles Now before Congress is legislation that speaks to the reform of maritime shipping Some refer to all of this as piecemeal deregulation In our rush to deregulate and reregulate we have lost sight of the need to maintain a cohesive national transportation policy Despite universal agreement as to the need for and importance of a sound transportation network there is precious little accord as to how to maintain its vitality For our transportation industry to fulfill the many vital roles expected of it a massive education process must be put in motion The aim of this program should be to foster a national understanding of

challenging year Fiscal year tonnage figures now in hand reveal a year of substantial growth for Georgia Ports Authority Few transportation entities can point to a 10 growth factor in these arduous economic times Record annual tonnage levels were achieved for containerized cargo grain total dry bulks total GPA Savannah GPA Brunswick total GPA deepwater terminals and GPA overall Slight decreases 4 among breakbulks and liquid bulks were experienced attributable primarily to the softness of the forest products market and plentiful oil supplies These losses were however more than offset by the sizable increases in other areas A key ingredient in our ability to sustain our ports growth throughout the current economic slowdown has been the expansion of our steamship portfolio These improvements provide new and expanded geographic coverage and cost effective competition while maintaining a sensible level of total shipping tonnage in each trade In the last two years alone new services inaugurated include 12 full container 4 RoRo 12 breakbulk 2 LASH and 17 breakbulk container combination Obviously these additions provide transport for every type of cargo and their list of ports called is as diverse as their carriage capability Our steamship solicitation efforts have been paralleled by construction programs to provide facilities to handle the increasing volumes they are bringing through Savannah and Brunswick FY 82 saw the completion of Container Berth 4 container cranes 4 and 5 and the Brunswick ship unloader The Ocean Terminal Slip 1 rehabilitation and Colonels Island bulk facility are underway The update describes the lengthy list of projects which will be completed within the purview of the current 5 year planning cycle In short we are making sure our facilities will remain a major asset in our efforts to attract and retain steamship service Two major restrictions to the continued development of the Port of Savannah received much needed attention during the year The State of Georgia allocated funds for evaluation of the negative economic impact due to the height restriction posed by the Talmadge Bridge and options for its replacement Secondly serious consideration was given to removal of the low level Houlihan Bridge to open the upper reaches of the harbor for further terminal development The flood of recent attention focused on the Talmadge bridge has generated widespread support for action to resolve the problem Increasing air drafts on contemporary and future vessels make the problem a real and growing one and each years delay in remedial action produces an identifiable dollar impact on the port state and region The growing consensus will play a large role in steamlining the process of choosing and expediting an appropriate solution Land availability remains potentially a longterm growth constraint in any port GPAs recent property purchase at Ocean Terminal represents a modest attempt to provide elbow room However substantial developmental capabilities for the harbor lie upstream of the Houlihan US highway 17 Bridge Considerable acreage is available and we are investigating our site options in the area Contingent upon removal of the Houlihan Georgia Ports Authority could conceivably acquire land which would insure our ability to expand indefinitely When economic times are rough solid firms redouble their efforts to solidify their base business and increase their market share When times improve they emerge even stronger with a greatly enhanced strategic position During the past year Georgia Ports Authority added 23 steamship services completed nearly 40 million in projects experiencing a 10 growth rate and established a string of new tonnage standards When the economic pendulum begins its return to normalcy we will be in position to experience rapid growth in view of the recession year records set during fiscal 1982 f III 2 Anchor Age astiagli NOW AT OCEAN TERMINA The cargo you ship

Red Sea and Arab Gulf A new fullcontainer service between Savannah and all ports in the Mediterranean Red Sea and Arab Gulf has been initiated by Merzario Lines At first glance a claim for such expansive coverage might seem ambitious but a review of the firms established operations in the area proves otherwise Merzrio provides direct calls at a number of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern ports In addition the line operates frequent shuttles on a regular basis to virtually every other port in the area Included under their service umbrella are Sete Palamos La Spezia Ravenna Ancona Piraeus Izmir Beirut Latakia Mersin Tripoli Benghazi Alexandria Aqaba Jeddah Hodeidah Abu Dhahi Dubai Dammam Bahrain Kuwait and Karachi In addition inducement service is available to all other United Arab Emirates ports plus Doha and Qatar The MediterraneanMiddle East services are all carried out by Merzarios versatile multipurpose RoRo vessels The service involving Savannah commences from Sete thence to La Spezia and Castelln de la Plana to load westbound cargo for Venezuela and Mexico From Mexico the itinerary carries the vessels to the US to load eastbound cargo for the return run Savannah is the only east coast port served and the last outbound stop on the rotation One of Merzarios vessels will be calling Savannah every 21 days The emphasis with the new run will be on containers Each of the two vessels in the MV Christian Wesch inaugurated Merzario Lines new SavannahMediterraneanMiddle East Service 5 service the MVs Christian Wesch and Sandra Wesch have container carrying capacities of 590 TEU They are capable of accepting refrigerated boxes as well with 50 hookups provided Onboard cranage provides 180 tons of heavy lift muscle The vessels can also transport sizable amounts of breakbulk The Sandra Wesch made her first visit to Savannah as Merzarios second caller cargo Merzarios ability to effectively serve this large market area lies in their experience in the 6 Anchor Age industry and the diversity of their organization Since its founding in 1835 Andrea Merzario SpA parent group for the line has grown to encompass a full range of transportation activities including forwarding warehousing terminal operation and inland and marine transport Its 1800 employees worldwide control a fleet of over 35000 company owned containers semitrailers and road vehicles In its US marketing efforts in particular Merzario emphasizes its ability to provide total point to point control for shipments Its network of company offices stretches worldwide and a varied list of correspondent offices extends the coverage even further This enables the line to offer a through bill of lading in the provision of door to door service including marine transport trucking rail delivery terminaling and clearing Merzarios election of Savannah as its East Coast port of call lends greater strength to the ports already impressive list of lines serving the Mediterranean Red Sea and Arab Gulf Maurizio Maggio Executive Vice President of Merzario Maritime Services US General Agents for the carrier explained the rationale behind the decision He summarized Operationally and commercially the cargo we are expecting from the Savannah area is much better than what we could expect going into Charleston The inaugural visit by the MV Christian Wesch indicates that Merzario did their marketing homework well Eller and Company local agents for the line reports that over 100 containers were loaded Bookings for the Sandra Wesch the second caller reached approximately the same level Merzario and Eller both express optimism that as news of the availability of the new service spreads 150 to 200 containers and more will move with each sailing Other articles in this issue of AnchorAge detail the recent successes of Georgia Ports Authoritys steamship solicitation program The inherent vitality of the Port of Savannah makes selling it to new lines a relatively easy task The presence of frequent reliable steamship service is in turn a major determinant in attracting shippers The addition of a strong independent carrier such as Merzario shows clearly that the attraction is as strong as ever Captain Folkert Gunther 2nd from right master of the Christian Wesch entertained guests at a shipboard reception marking Merzarios inaugural visit In attendance were left to right

JulyAugust 1982 M m WM M South African Service g Anchor Age A new combination breakbulkcontainer service between Savannah and ports in South Africa has been inaugurated Cape Line introduced the new run with the visit of the MV Rosa Roth Cape Line an independent carrier will employ charter vessels to provide monthly calls to Savannah South African ports in the itinerary include Cape Town Port Elizabeth East London and Purban The manifest for the first call by the Rosa Roth included a sizable lot of forest products According to Ed Heinlein of MV Rosa Roth above left was the first to carry Cape Lines colors to the Port of Savannah in conjunction with the lines new South African service She was followed closely by the Marianne Roth above right discharging steel at Garden City Terminal Norton Lilly local agents for Cape Line this tracks closely with the lines original projections for Savannah cargoes The decision to include Savannah in the port rotation was largely predicated on Norton Lillys receipt of numerous feelers from shippers of commodities such as linerboard and woodpulp Cape Line is also soliciting containers rolling stock heavy lifts and refrigerated cargoes Their vessels boast several hundred TEUs of container space and extensive hatch and on deck spaces for breakbulks equipment and heavy items In addition breakbulk cargoes requiring temperature control can be handled in a refrigerated hatch Diversified paper and printing industries in South Africa generate a huge demand for raw pulp and paper Savannahs wellforested hinterland is an ideal source to fill many of these requirements Consequently Savannah has become the major South Atlantic outport for African bound forest products and also for agricultural and industrial equipment machinery consumer goods high technology items and a lengthy list of other items The size and diversity of this cargo mix will guarantee the continued influx of carriers such as Cape Line to meet the burgeoning demand for reliable ocean transport JulyAugust 1982 COLONELS ISLAND FACILITY INTRODUCED This model was used in the operational and engineering explanation of the dry bulk facility to be situated on Colonels Island Georgia Ports Authority recently sponsored a series of seminars in Brunswick The meetings were designed to discuss the future of the bulk trades in general and to acquaint shippers and maritime concerns with the new Colonels Island multiproduct bulk facility The invitation list for the first session was restricted to bulk shippers The three day program commenced in Atlanta at a reception sponsored by Governor George Busbee Busbee underscored the states commitment to international trade and characterized Colonels Island plans as proof of that commitment From Atlanta the group traveled to Brunswick for the final two days of the program Day one activities in Brunswick centered around a physical tour of Brunswicks East River Terminal and a boat trip past the 10 AnchorAge northern bluff of Colonels Island where the bulk facility and dock will be situated The final program was divided into two sections The first portion consisted of an operational and engineering explanation of the Colonels Island facility A physical model commodity flow diagrams and an artists rendition were utilized to familiarize the audience with the storage handling and berthing characteristics of the terminal The final session consisted of an analysis of trends in the dry bulk trades Peter Osterchrist President of International Trading Co Inc outlined his predictions as to future design of bulk carriers Bigger is not necessarily better he noted adding that changing trade patterns will reverse the trend toward bulk super carriers He characterized GPAs Colonels Island facility as an appropriate response to the needs of the trade now and in the future He stated The GPA facility is the first one Ive seen in ten years that makes sense I believe it will effectively serve the 20000 to 50000 ton vessels that will predominate in the future Osterchrist called for a more positive US trade posture noting We in the United States have not dedicated ourselves to an aggressive export policy He disagreed with the common contention that trade barriers pose a major problem stating We do not look at the foreign market as a permanent source of business for our products During the question and answer period he backed proposed legislation to permit trading companies and other partnerships to pursue joint ventures and group marketing for export purposes He also stated that granting of anti Governor George Busbee left welcomed shippers to the Governors mansion for a reception marking the opening of the International Bulk Conference trust immunity to such concerns would have considerable advantages Discussing the carriers perspective Captain Bjorgulf Nilssen Manager of World Wide Operations for Star Shipping AS expressed cautious hope for bulk movements in the near term future He indicated that there was virtually no growth in tons or ton miles in 1981 and that the outlook for 1982 wasjnot much brighter Capsuling his predictions for the rest of 1982 he stated Growth in the trade is expected to be higher in the second half of this year than in the first For calendar 1983 he indicated that JulyAugust 1982 11 shippers The presentation was followed by a harbor tour past East River facilities arid Colonels Island where dredging is already in progress Initial response to the facility has been overwhelming Shippers and carriers are unanimous in their support for the design and location of the facility GPA officials expect early and heavy utilization for a wide range of grains and mineral products This series of preconstruction meetings will provide Georgia Ports with an expansive list of customers to utilize Phase I of the facility and proposed expansions already engineered into the master development plan Speakers for the Governors Bilik Conference were top Peter Qsterchrist President of International Trading Company and bottom Capt Bjorgulf Nilssen Manager of World Wide operations for Star Shipping AS Wes Allen GPA Director of Engineering Construction and Maintenance details Colonels Island site plan for participants at the Governors International Bulk Conference projected GNP increases in the 23 range would up industrial demand for raw materials Nilssen felt that such growth could stimulate dry bulk trading upward by as much as 6for next year Nilssen listed several other factors which would contribute to the moderate growth he expects through 1984 Because food demand remains constant despite economic conditions the grain business tends to be less susceptible to such factors This constant helps minimize fluctuations in the minerals sector He indicated that industrialized nations are reducing their oil dependence noting The unit of energy used to produce a unit of output has decreased by 25 since 1979 He characterized the resultant pricing advantages as a key factor in keeping bulks moving in international trade Several weeks later members of the Georgia maritime community were invited for an operational engineering review of the new bulk facility similar to the one presented to the 12 AnchorAge Carolina Shipping Company Steamship Agents and Contracting Stevedores A Division of Carolina Shipping Co Charleston S C P O Box

more acres of paved storage became available for container marshalling during FY 82 for dry bulks as well Good crop years for winter wheat and soybeans fueled a jump from 794000 tons last year to 1265000 for 1982 at GPAs multiproduct facility This 59 increase produced a record year for dry bulks handled across berth 62 eclipsing the old standard of 1130000 by a substantial margin Wheat volumes reached a record high bettering 610000 tons Soybeans rebounded from a disastrous crop year which produced only 88000 tons of exports in 1981 to FY 82 volumes of nearly 430000 tons Completion of berth 4 positioned the Port of Savannah to handle Increasing container volumes The world oil surplus had a predictable effect on the quantity of petroproducts moving through the port city Terminal operators reported full tanks and lagging sales Several oil oriented firms sought to offset slow business by soliciting nonpetroleum liquid bulk customers GPAs liquid bulk berths handled 950000 tons of product down 66000 tons from the previous year Breakbulk cargoes moving through totalled a substantial 1650000 tons Reduced volumes of linerboard woodpulp and other forest products accounted for the lions share of the 8 decrease Increases in other established cargoes including steel burlap equipment and lumber helped minimize the impact of the forest product slowdown Project shipments of vehicles pipe mobile homes and equipment also softened the blow With early indications of economic recovery By truck or train grain arrived at GPAs dry bulk facility in record amounts Acquisition of 39 acres at Ocean Terminal during the year provided space for expanded breakbuik operations Vessel movements within the Savannah harbor have been greatly expedited with the completion of the Kings Island Turning Basin enlargement The project was designed to permit the turning of the largest container and bulk vessels regardless of the tide level or berth occupancy at CONTAINERPORT The 33 million project produced a turning basin which is 1500 feet wide by 1600 feet long by 38 feet deep at mean low water Because the enlargement will eliminate the need for vessels to await higher tide stages before turning Savannahs impressive turnaround times are destined to become even shorter Partnership changes temporarily halted construction on the Savannah Coal Terminal at Completion of the Kings Island turning basin enlargement will permit round the clock vessel movements irrespective of tide stage or berth occupancyl appearing breakbulks will soon resume their customary steady growth Georgia Ports master plan calls for the centralization of Savannah breakbuik handling at Ocean Terminal Facilities will be emplaced at that location to accommodate existing operations and projected increases To provide the elbow room for expanded breakbuik operations GPA acquired a 39 acre site adjacent to Ocean Terminal The property will be utilized in a variety of applications including warehousing open storage and distribution and consolidation centers The presence of distributionconsolidation facilities for firms including KMart Kawasaki BorneoSumatra the Buckeye Cellulose Division of Procter and Gamble Maven International and four separate steel importers has enhanced Savannahs reputation as the leading transportation center on the South Atlantic During the year Yokohama Tire Company and Federal Pipe Steel joined the list Considerations of strategic location excellent water and inland transportation and proven service were critical in attracting these latest tenants The Ocean Terminal land purchase will provide the sites which will enable the Port of Savannah to continue its sales efforts in this direction Yokohama Tire and Federal Pipe Steel were two important additions to Savannahs list of distribution center operators in FY 82 Q The Zim Savannah became the latest in a long line of oceangoing vessels to bear the port citys name Hutchinson Island Burgeoning foreign demand for steam coal is expected to prompt a restart in the near future Significant milestones for the year also included the first visit in recent history by a vessel flying the flag of mainland China the opening of 13 new maritime and transportation offices in the state and the location in Georgia of numerous major port user industries including the UHT Division of Dairymen milk International Filling Company oils and Sampo televisions Perhaps the single event during the year which best characterizes the stature which the Port of Savannah has achieved was the maiden voyage of the Zim Savannah Zims decision to so name the newly built containership reflects both the healthy long standing business relationship between the line and the port and the international recognition Savannah has achieved as a major US transportation hub Underway In the five year period commencing with FY 82 expenditures for new projects in the Port of Savannah should exceed the 350 million mark Included in this figure are dry and liquid bulk terminals container handling facilities extensive breakbulk renovations warehousing and land acquisition Georgia Ports Authority will account for the majority of the new work spending nearly 200 million during the 5 year span GPAs expenditures center around consolidation of handling by cargo type at its various terminals By middecade Ocean Terminal will become the center of GPA breakbulk handling in Savannah Over 60 million will be expended on three major projects Work has commenced on the largest the slip I renovation package It involves the filling and paving over of the The slip I project at Ocean Terminal currently underway will produce at two berth complex with 200 foot margins backed up by an 800000 square foot transit shed unused slip and covering it with a massive new two berth complex It will feature over 1000 feet of berthing with spacious 200 foot wide margins served by double rail sidings Dockside covered storage will take the form of an 800000 square foot transit shed exhibiting the latest in handling access lighting and fire protection amenities Gantry tracks will be extended to the new area to carry any of four cranes ranging from 50 to 175 tons in capacity to the berths Completion of the new project at Ocean Terminal is designed to permit rededication of outmoded breakbulk spaces at Garden City Terminal to container facilities The fourth berth opened this year is a prime example of this approach Since its construction the berth has been the site of the erection of two new container cranes Currently GPAs sixth unit is being assembled with acceptance for operation scheduled for October 1 of this year It is being constructed under a contract with CM I as was crane 5 and will boast the same box handling characteristics as its predecessors The two newest units represent a combined investment of over 7 million Just a few short feet from docks edge at container berth 4 lies GPAs cold storage facility Increasing flows of cargoes requiring temperature control has prompted the enlargement of that facility Poultry seafoods juices meats and meat byproducts are among the commodities pushing tonnage figures higher The project involves the addition of a 40000 square foot room to the existing building The 200 x 200 foot structure will provide another 800000 cubic feet of storage capacity To guarantee facility of throughput the expansion includes a 50 foot wide by 155 foot long covered loading dock which will accommodate 8 additional trucks In the interest of conserving valuable container marshalling space the new room is being constructed largely over an adjacent canal By building on pilings in this otherwise unusable area no negative impact was made on total storage space at berth 4 Work is proceeding toward onschedule completion in the early Fall of 1983 Several ongoing studies will impact future navigability within the confines of the Savannah harbor State funds have been approved for analysis of the economic impact of the height restrictions posed by the Talmadge Bridge The report will also examine replacementraising options for elimination of the impediment as well as disposition of the low level Houlihan Bridge upstream Removal of the Houlihan is seen as essential to future development of the port Expansion of GPAs cold storage facility above will nearly triple

include need and method for widening and deepening environmental impact of harbor related activities and impact of projected volumevessel increases on port traffic FY 83 And Beyond At Ocean Terminal two other projects will follow the start of the slip I revitalization Work will begin this year on another 200000 square foot warehouse It will be located between the other two new warehouses only a few yards from the head of slip II Construction cost is estimated at 63 million Toward the end of the five year cycle extensive improvements will be made to berths 1619 at Ocean Terminal Included in the 85 million package is the relocation of transit shed 19 It will be placed parallel to warehouse 9 opening up berth 19 all the way back through the existing open storage area An addition will nearly double the size of transit shed 1617 and a large adjacent storage area will be paved Two other open sites will be added to paved open storage reserves The net area of the three resurfacing projects will be approximately 4 acres Further changes to the physical appearance of Ocean Terminal will come in the form of development of the newly acquired land Distribution facilities and open and covered storage are several of the uses envisioned New administrative and maintenance facilities will also be located there to permit demolition of the existing ones in conjunction with the slip I rehab New access roads will expedite traffic flows about the reconfigured terminal Beyond the slip I project extensive renovation of the berth 1619 area a third warehouse and additional paved storage are scheduled for Ocean Terminal by middecade Container berth 5 will become a reality within the current 5 year planningconstruction cycle Measuring 1100 feet it will comprise the dock area now occupied by berths 54 and 55 at Garden City This lost breakbulk capacity will be more than recouped in advance by the improvements at Ocean Terminal This location is immediately adjacent to container berth 4 guaranteeing centralized control and inventory throughout CONTAINERPORT The berth 5 project will include the largest single berth backup area in CONTAINERPORT The 60 acre yard will bring total paved storage to 240 acres Two additional cranes will be erected in conjunction with the construction bringing the total to eight The five newest units will be equipped with curve capable trucks enabling them to travel throughout the 4700 foot expanse of CONTAINERPORT berthing Access to the facility will be exceptional Rail sidings will bisect the storage area with double tracks along the margin To accommodate increases in truck traffic new interchange gates will be emplaced at several strategic locations The future of dry bulk trades through Savannah should be characterized by two trends a continued rise in grain shipments and resurgence in the mineral exports In particular clay volumes are expected to rebound tracking the projected improvements in the export paper business The anticipated restart of construction on the Savannah Coal Terminal could produce a massive impact on overall Savannah tonnages in the near future Operating at design capacity the terminal would nearly double total tonnage for the port Obviously this remains the single most important factor in Savannahs long term dry bulk outlook Savannahs ability to handle burgeoning grain volumes will be effectively doubled with the change in utilization of GPAs dry bulk facility Previously storage and handling had been divided between grain and minerals With the completion of the Colonels Island dry bulk complex all mineral operations will be transferred to that facility providing a twofold increase in the amount of flat storage available for grain in Savannah The rail car unloading station currently utilized for dumping minerals will also be freed to accept grain on a full time basis This in turn would allow both truck dumps to operate around the clock with marked improvements in unloading times resulting Berth 5 will join the CONTAINERPORT complex by middecade Its 1100 feet of wharf 60 acres of paved storage and two cranes will be located immediately adjacent to existing container facilities Fiscal Year 82 provided a clear indication of the inherent strength of the Port of Savannah When international trade prospers ports of every size and description can point to banner years During periods of economic sluggishness however only those diversified and progressive enough to cope can continue to grow During the year containers and grain traversed the port at record levels Breakbulks and liquid cargoes exhibited the effects of global economics but decreases were minimal and were exceeded by improvements in growth areas Georgia Ports Authority tonnages always a valuable yardstick in gauging overall port activity rose over 400000 tons to 55 million an increase of some 8 By Savannah standards FY 82 was a good year by international port standards a very good year given the current world trade picture a surprising year Fiscal 83 bears strong promise for economic recovery This resurgence coupled with Savannahs proven record of sustained growth central location and reputation for service will combine to produce an excellent 12 months By expanding its steamship portfolio by 17 lines and extending its ambitious construction programs Savannah has positioned itself to capture an increased share of the revitalized 1983 market 23 New or Expanded Steamship Services for Savannah during FY 82 CONTAINER Africa Far East Islands of the Atlantic

BrunswickColonels Island Year in Review During the fiscal year ending June 30 handling figures for the Port of Brunswick began to reflect Georgia Ports Authoritys infusion of expansion dollars over the past several years In the last 3 years alone over 7 million has been expended at the East River Terminal The most apparent barometer tonnage figures clearly reflects the trend At GPAs East River Terminal volumes handled 3 years ago were just over 148000 tons For fiscal 1982 the figure rose to 350000 tons a whopping 236 jump The increase over 1981 was equally impressive a rise of 103000 tons or 42 The key ingredient in Brunswicks recent success has been its emergence as an internationally recognized dry bulk handling center During the year the portfolio for these cargoes expanded with first shipments of sand phosrock and corn A 31000 ton consignment of potash became the largest single shipment ever to traverse the Port of Brunswick Two new additions to the bulk handling complex appeared on the East River skyline as well Offloading of bulk carriers was greatly expedited with the completion of a 21 million specialty ship unloader It possesses a 700 ton per hour capacity lifting up to 15 tons per bite Gantryclamshell operations can be combined with the unloader to push hourly turnover figures even higher Mid South Feeds new feed mill has permanently altered the skyline along Brunswicks East River Mid South Feeds has constructed a computerized feed mill at the East River Terminal The 800000 facility will be used to grind and mix whole grains and other feed ingredients into animal and poultry feeds With its 80 ton per hour output the mill is expected to add 200000 tons to Brunswick harbor totals during the first full calendar year of operation Mid Souths confidence in its Caribbean markets took the form of time charters of two vessels to carry Brunswicks new ship unloader is onstream and flexing its 700tonperhour unloading muscle on a regular basis New cargoes for the Port of Brunswick during 1982 included steel coils and corn FY 83 And Beyond Georgia Ports Authority will take the lead in developing ocean transport oriented industry on Colonels Island with its ambitious dry bulk complex The multiproduct facility will represent an investment of nearly 50 million Scheduled for completion in the Spring of 1984 it its products southward The MVs Carib Eve and Carib Dawn both made their first Brunswick visits during the year With mill operations gearing up Mid South expects to bring in the ships 3 times monthly The vessels are also available for other Caribbean bound bulk and breakbulk cargoes Breakbulks continued to occupy a smaller but significant portion of the Brunswick cargo picture As in Savannah forest product shipments showed the effect of soft European markets Steel coils were among the new cargoes attracted which helped cushion the impact of the paper slowdown The best description of Brunswick 1982 is that the port has finally begun to fulfill the promise it has held for so long Blessed with unlimited transportation climate and geographic resources it is rapidly becoming the center of attention among sitestarved shippers carriers and industrial concerns Funds already approved and in hand will produce the facilities which will soon push development to full throttle Underway The sight of a dredge in the South Brunswick River may be the most significant signal in the history of the port The dredge is digging the channel which will finally open up Colonels Island for development to its full potential The 2200 acre island has been an excellent industrial location for some time With rail highway and power amenities in place a Dredging has commenced on the channel connecting Colonels Island to deep water strategic location and numerous desirable sites it has always loomed as a possible major industrial center Until now however it lacked a single ingredient which prevented its becoming a total transportation complex deepwater access Completion of the dredging will pave the way for construction of a wide range of facilities The first will be GPAs multiproduct dry bulk terminal described in the next section A number of other large parcels are already under option to prospective tenants anxiously awaiting channel availability With river frontage available for seven berths plus barge terminals utilization of the island will be as extensive as it is diversified SCMs fractioning facility became the first industrial user to open for business on Colonels Island Colonels Island the complete transportation industrial site is served by two railroads The Island connects to Interstate 95 less than two miles west the Atlantic Ocean just 12 miles east and the Intracoastal Waterway six miles east will incorporate the latest technology in bulk materials handling and storage The total system is designed to move bulks at rates up to 2000 tons per hour depending upon commodity density Two separate rail car stations will be provided with a combined unloading capacity of 4000 tons per hour Loop tracks circling the facility will accommodate 170 hopper cars with room for 600 more in adjacent marshalling yards which are already in place A 60 foot long truck dump will tilt trailers to 60 for back unloading Flat storage will house a variety of edible commodities in nine 55 x 130 foot bays holding up to 3250 tons of product apiece Each of eight silos will accommodate 3200 tons of minerals Total capacity for all silos is 620000 cubic feet A 2000 ton per hour stacker places cargo in flat storage Retrieval is accomplished by a variablecut travelling reclaimer Silos discharge through three screw feeders at rates up to 1630 tons per hour The shiploader will reach out to 65 feet for vessel operations The transfer house is engineered to permit total flexibility in accepting storing restoring and loading of cargo Bulks can be moved from unloading stations to storage or direct to vessel between storage locations or from storage to vessel In addition a number of these operations may be conducted simultaneously Optimistic projections as to the future of bulk trades across Colonels Island have resulted in the inclusion of considerable expansion H capability in the engineering and By early 1984 the Colonels Island dry bulk complex will be a reality MIL 1 T1T design of the multiproduct facility Phase II would call for doubling in size of the existing flat storage building with space provided for a second identical structure alongside Fifty or more silos could be easily added to provide total segregation for large quantities of minerals Configuration of the deepwater shoreline would permit construction of up to six more berths The roomy island also offers numerous sites for open storage The East River Terminal will receive its share of funding attention during the current five year planningconstruction cycle as well Approximately 20 million will be spent to expand protected storage realign rail access and acquire additional land for future development Transit Shed I will be increased in size by some 80000 square feet It will be utilized to accept a variety of materials consisting principally of feed grains These will be relayed to the structure from a new two bay rail car unloading pit via bucket elevator and a system of conveyors and gravity chutes Other ancillary facilities will include three parallel rail sidings and a truck scale Provisions have been made for later installation of a second elevator and a directtowharf conveyor An extension to transit shed II will be even larger adding 120000 square feet to the structure Tshed II will continue to be utilized for marshalling of breakbulk commodities Expansion of the two buildings will increase dockside protected storage over 2Vi times to 340000 square feet Import bulk capacity will receive a boost as well with the impending construction of bulk warehouse 3 The third building will be located adjacent to the existing two and will be loaded via an inclined conveyor which will in turn be fed by existing At GPAs East River Terminal in Brunswick both transit sheds will be more than doubled in size In addition a third bulk storage warehouse will be constructed adjacent to buildings 1 and 2 equipment in warehouse 2 The 70800 square foot facility will bring the amount of storage available for dry bulks to 180000 square feet Combined capacity for all three will approach 90000 tons Utilization of recently completed facilities in Brunswick has met or exceeded projections formulated during planning Likewise early interest in projects underway and scheduled in the near future has exceeded even the most optimistic expectations As a result tonnage projections for BrunswickColonels Island have been revised upward to reflect the anticipated surge in business With over 70 million to be applied to capital projects at Brunswick in the next five years it is safe to say that large scale development has commenced in earnest However even expenditures of this size will only scratch the surface of the potential that exists in the port Colonels Island is the only location on the Atlantic seaboard offering deepwater sites barge access and rail and highway amenities in place Its 2200 acres provide an ideal setting for general industrial and manufacturing concerns as well as shippers of dry and liquid bulks and general cargoes GPA is parlaying East Rivers expanded bulk and breakbulk handling capability into increased tonnages These cargo flows have proven that the marketing analyses which precipitated the expenditure of 7 million over the last three years were realistic Advance shipper interest in facilities now on the drawing board suggests that the next 70 million will be looked back upon as an equally sound investment BRUNSWICK TERMINAL COLONELS ISLAND Tonnage History Projections 2500000 TONS 2250000 2000000 1750000 1500000 1250000

Carrier Container Service is offering exporters of containers unprecedented inland rates to Savannah Savings in excess of 50 are possible from points throughout the Southeast Food Carriers ability to offer the preferential export rates is based upon a distribution system which sends 12000 shipments a year outbound from Savannah The carrier is a subsidiary of Savannah Foods and Industries Inc and is involved in the delivery of the parent companys product throughout the sourhern rim of the US The company accepts containers on its return runs eliminating deadheads with a resultant reduction in cost Food Carrier had been making southeastern deliveries for some time and the container service was introduced to eliminate empty backhauls The net effect has been to improve profitability while providing extremely low rates As a further cost incentive Food Carrier offers fixed point to point rates eliminating any risk in their price quotations Food Carriers sphere of influence extends from Miami through Norfolk on a regular basis In addition they have already reached as far as Chicago Tennessee and Kentucky on several occasions to bring containers back to Savannah Areas of heaviest concentration for their deliveries and backhauls include Atlanta Dalton Charlotte North Carolina and Greenville South Carolina Some of the leading commodities being regularly handled are carpet paper products textiles and textile waste furniture and machinery Obviously Food Carrier is capturing a sizable share of the market because of its pricing advantages Another effect of their innovation has been to attract cargo to the Port of Savannah which had traditionally moved through other points Anthony Rovolis Manager for the Food Carrier Container Service explains Geography is no longer a primary consideration Were pulling a lot of loads that this ports never seen before Rovolis reports that the local freight Anthony Rovolis manager of Food Carrier Container Service verifies a container number at the firms Savannah terminal EXPORT BOX RATE BREAKTHROUGH Food Carriers Container Service has 17 tractors available on a fulltime basis to handle export boxes In addition the 70 tractor resources of the rest of the Savannah Foods fleet are available on a need basis forwarders have been primary beneficiaries of the new service capturing contracts which had been previously reserved for ports closer to production points The key to Food Carriers success lies in their ability to match loads Dispatchers schedule deliveries by geographic area to coincide with requests for backhauls The company attempts to schedule local loading to permit early morning arrival at the point of discharge In this way drop off can be accomplished in time to permit same day pickup of the export box Food Carriers point to point rate excludes any cost for the trip from the delivery location to the origin for the container to be returned to Savannah An important aspect of Food Carriers ability to serve is the backup provided by its sister subsidiary Transales From its Savannah Atlanta and Greenville locations Trnsales can provide inland consolidation deconsolidation warehousing and marking The ability to extend this full range of services has been particularly valuable in attracting customers seeking centralized responsibility for all aspects of their export movements Any time Food Carrier delivers a container they immediately call or teletype the shipper to inform him the box has been interchanged back onto the port In the unusual event of a delay or problem the account is notified immediately In the vast majority of cases however actual transit is kept extremely close to stated average road times The proximity of Food Carriers terminal to CONTAINERPORT a distance of only a mile affords the utmost in efficiency of delivery In its new enterprise Food Carrier Container Service is backed by the reputation and experience of its parent firm Savannah Foods Industries Inc Since I9l 7 the company has provided the utmost in product integrity and service to its customers Their Dixie Crystals brand of sugar is known nationwide for its quality Thanks to its initiation

the larger containerships and bulkers now coming out of world shipyards Transstate Dredging Company contractors for the job commenced work on the basin towards the end of October 1980 The dredge

rotation for the Latest trip of its M V Sun Viking The 550 foot vessel brought a contingent of 760 passengers and 320 crew to the port city Royal Caribbeans decision to call here was based on Savannahs well documented tourist appeal Harrington Co local agents for the line reports that the firm was well pleased with the response to this trial run The cruise was booked solid in two weeks and the line actually reduced crew size sightly to meet the demand for passenger slots The success of the venture has led to Royal Caribbeans addition of two more cruises next year The MV Nordic Prince

Conference PO Box 1925 Savannah Georgia 31402 AnchorAge State Documents Periodicals U4jg FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority George J Nichols In recent years the Port of Savannah has captured the lions share of trade growth on the South Atlantic range This trend is reflected by the diversification of our facilities as evidenced by the picture of our CONTAINER PORT Our successes are largely attributable to the efforts of the dynamic maritime and trade community within the State of Georgia The growth in stature of our annual trade conference has paralleled the increases in tonnage and construction expenditures Our sixteenth edition this year will once again draw upon our past successes and add a few new wrinkles to produce the best programs ever The lineup of speakers is as impressive as it is diverse These movers and shakers will translate their daily contact with international business dynamics into analyses of the short and long range prospects for shippers and carriers alike Hopefully they will carry the message that the recovery cycle has begun Our efforts to expand our facilities service capability and steamship portfolio assume the availability of a properly developed and maintained harbor The recent ruckus over user fees has impressed upon us the importance of a responsible unified national policy which recognizes the criticality of our ports and accommodates their diverse needs If the United States is to capture its share of growing world trade volumes uncongested strategically located ports like Savannah and Brunswick will play a key role This can only happen if their harbors are configured to meet the physical demands of a changing world fleet The Georgia Foreign Trade Conference serves two purposes First it provides a forum for the exchange of ideas on matters of international business urgency Secondly it offers the Georgia transportation community an opportunity to acquaint shippers and carriers with our capabilities Given our combined service facility transportation and location advantages we are convinced our greatest sales tool is an informed clientele Our conference represents our single largest attempt to achieve

breakbulk and new RoRo Container service by Palmetto Gulf Eastern Company The introduction of the Savannah run is a portion of an overall expansion strategy on the part of Hellenic The program encompasses both capital improvements and diversification of trade areas served Hellenic is in the midst of a 320 million investment program The line has recently commissioned three new containerships and is in the process of converting four more breakbulk vessels The MV Hellenic Faith which is participating in the new service to Savannah is the first of the four Pride Class vessels to be reworked The other three are scheduled for completion by the middle of 1983 In the past two years Hellenic has tripled its container inventory from 6000 to 22500 The company has set a goal of 45000 boxes Toward that end they have purchased 20000 new specially designed containers as another facet of the expansion program The 20 and 40 foot and opentop steel containers are custom designed with ribbed construction and a unique undercarriage for rugged handling in Hellenics far reaching trade routes The new units were manufactured by the Korean firm Hyundai to tight specifications designed to ensure optimum cargo protection according to Jerry DiMaggio Included in the order for new boxes are specialty units of particular importance to certain of Savannahs shippers Referring to the anticipated heavy flow of outbound carpet DiMaggio notes We are positioning our new high cube containers specifically to handle this cargo Hellenics diversified breakbulk services connect Savannah with ports in

Hellenics container transport capabilities has generated a need for sophistication of information processing systems As a result Hellenic has converted to computerization for control of equipment and vessel stowage From two centralized locations New York for the US and Piraeus for the rest of the world master computers keep tabs on vessels and containers and generate all necessary documentation In other countries an online satellite linked computer network tracks cargo for instantaneous confirmation of location Hellenic does not intend to stand still with their new service as it is now structured Plans call for the addition of a fifth vessel to the run in the near future This will result in the reduction of the time between sailings to 14 days In the midst of its ambitious expansion programs Hellenic is already the operator of the largest Greek flag liner fleet and is the largest single line serving the Mediterranean and the Middle East New equipment new trades and new administrative systems have characterized the lines activities over the last several years and will continue to do so through the decade Savannah has been the most recent beneficiary of their diversification Hellenics ad campaign announcing the addition of Savannah to its rotation refers to the run as its Magic Carpet Service Carpet and Service are two ingredients which have characterized the HellenicPort of Savannah combination since 1956 The only Magic involved has been the customer orientation practiced by both Hellenic Lines new RoRo container service is proof positive they are

NORFOLK SOUTHERN From the kaolin pits and timberlands of the Southeast to the grain fields and industrial centers of the Midwest and North Norfolk Southern Corporation links the ports of Savannah and Brunswick with a 21state 18000mile singlesystem rail network It is an expanded transportation company committed to serving the needs of these expanding world ports The nations most profitably operated rail system and fourth largest in miles of road Norfolk Southern brings together the 10057mile Southern Railway System and the 7083mile Norfolk and Western Railway Company Area shippers already well acquainted with Southerns service territory from Washington to New Orleans Cincinnati to Jacksonville and blanket coverage of the Southeast now have direct access over the sane rail system to cities such as Pittsburgh Cleveland Detroit Chicago and Kansas City all on Norfolk and Westerns lines p gft Customers whose goods are hauled into and out of Savannah and Brunswick stand to gain considerably from Norfolk Southerns unique marketing strategy The concept is simple While Southern and Norfolk and Western railways retain their separate operating identities their combined sales force speaks with one voice in allegiance to singlesystem rail network Norfolk Southern that can provide even better service and market opportunities to shippers than either railroad has been able to deliver separately From the outset Norfolk Southern was a SeptemberOctober 1982 creation for the marketplace As Harold H Hall president and chief operating officer put it We can combine some facilities to our mutual advantage and make joint use of others But in essence this is a marketing consolidation designed to help us serve and compete better Robert B Claytor is chairman and chief executive officer His succinct words speak volumes about the aggressiveness of Norfolk Southerns marketing strategy Our sales force is consolidated and active on all fronts especially in the very promising area of increasing our piggyback traffic Norfolk Southern has 64 intermodal terminals including one at Savannah Our piggyback business has been a bright spot Claytor said Aggressive marketing in this area is taking truck traffic off the highways The secondquarter earnings report of the young company formed June 1 shows that Norfolk Southerns marketing strategy already is paying dividends Net income of 1382 million calculated as if the two companies had been combined for the entire period was up 77 percent Results so far have been very encouraging Claytor said Our new singlesystem transportation services are already winning traffic from the competition and we are beginning to achieve the efficiencies that we expected from our consolidation Despite the recession which has taken a quick and keen toll on the rail industry Norfolk Southern posted a 31 percent increase in truck trailers and shipping containers on flatcars Better service to shippers ultimately will benefit the ports of Savannah and Brunswick as new market opportunities are created in the northern and mid western cities served by the expanded singlesystem rail network One major advantage of the consolidation is Norfolk Southerns creation of five new corridors of unified rail service the Altavista Va Gateway route from the Midwest to Virginia and North Carolina the Lynchburg Va Knoxville Tenn Cutoff from Washington DC to Knoxville and beyond the MidSouth Corridor from the Midwest to the South the Kansas City Gateway route and the Shenandoah Corridor from Hagerstown Md to Knoxville and Chattanooga Tenn and beyond To explore how the ports of Savannah and Brunswick might tap into the vastly larger rail network for new commodities and to increase the volume of existing commodities such as clay and paper products top marketing officials of Norfolk Southern Corporation in Washington already have met with officials of the Georgia Ports Authority The opportunities are encouraging both for the railroad and for the ports The affiliation said Claytor enhances our efficiency strength and ability to compete effectively with other rail carriers and with trucks and barge lines throughout our territory A clerk above at Dillard Yard adjusts the screen on which she verifies the inventory and standing order of freight trains entering the yard More direct routes more runthrough trains and fewer delays at interchange points are bringing faster shipment of freight We are making more efficient use of our locomotives cars yards intermodal terminals and other facilities Those facilities are impressive both in numbers and in their adaptability to serve individual customers needs Georgia is one of the most important states on the Norfolk Southern system Southern Railways operational center is at Atlanta The headquarters of the Central of Georgia Railroad Company a main Southern subsidiary is at Savannah Norfolk Southern has more miles of road in Georgia 2647 than in any other state Georgia ranks second only to Virginia in number of employees 6870 Industrial development projects on Norfolk Southerns lines in Georgia exceeded 12 million in 1981 Norfolk Southerns rail lines serve all the port facilities of Savannah and Brunswick District sales offices are in each city to serve the industrial giants located in the area Payrolls in Chatham and Glynn counties totaled over 62 million in 1981 with purchases made in the two counties exceeding 23 million Norfolk Southern owns 2831 locomotives and 161299 freight cars On an average day it runs 1066 trains Microwave communications and computer systems of the two railroads are totally compatible a big advantage for Norfolk Southern Consolidation of two railroads wont be the end of the line for Norfolk Southern if top company executives have their way Another kind of merger that may open to railroads in the future crosses modal as well as geographical lines says Hall Putting together carriers by highway rail and water to form one unified transportation company makes as much sense Activity through Georgia Ports Authoritys dry bulk facility opposite generates a tremendous demand for rail service in and out of Savannah 10 AnchorAge 199000 99700 63300 Dillard Yard right in Savannah is a flat yard but it has shown that computers can increase the efficiency and service of a railroad making use of this modern technology Fanning out from the bustling port of Savannah the railroads of the Family Lines Rail System and its parent CSX Corporation provide singlesystem rail service for customers throughout the South East and Midwest Situated as it is at the east coast center of territory served by Family Lines the Port of Savannah is an almost equal distance from such diverse trade centers as Miami New Orleans Memphis Cincinnati and Washington This strategic location makes Savannah and Family Lines the perfect combination for many shippers And with the merger of Family Lines with Chessie System Railroads to form CSX Corporation this singlesystem service now extends to such population centers as Detroit Cleveland Baltimore Buffalo Philadelphia and even across the Province of Ontario Family Lines Rice Yard below in Waycross Georgia is one of the most modern in the nation as creating singlesystem service by rail True intermodal transportationand by that I mean intermodal ownershipseems to me to be the logical progression of this countrys transportation system How well railhighway business has done recently under the dual impetus of market freedom and rail fuel efficiency gives us a hint of what might happen if we could add the benefits of intermodal ownership It means one responsible carrier says Hall one bill of lading one source of information on the progress of freight movement More than that it means that the shippers interest rather than the transportation modes interest is the first to be served Whether it be at Savannah Brunswick or from New Orleans to Ontario thats what Norfolk Southern is about putting the shipper first with a unique marketing strategy second to none 12 AnchorAge With 27000 miles of track CSX Corporation railroads offer shippers through the Port of Savannah singlesystem service to 22 states the District of Columbia and Canada encompassing almost the entire area east of the Mississippi River Customers within the area already have discovered cost and time savings by using the CSX singlesystem railroads which makeup the largest transportation company in the United States One important benefit of the merger has been to container shippers Shippers are now offered piggyback routing over a single system to many manufacturing and retail centers in the East and Midwest that previously required handling by two or more railroads This often means a singleline rate Likewise containerized cargo can now flow through Savannah from the industrial Midwest over a single railroad This offers the potential for tremendous savings in time and money to CSX customers said Granvel Huband regional sales manager for Family Lines in Jacksonville Family Lines has an aggressive intermodal program that has resulted in substantial increases in piggyback traffic despite an overall Granvel Huband regional sales manager of Family Lines Jacksonville decline in industrial production in the United States this year according to Huband The Port of Savannah through its modern new facilities at Garden City Terminal now ranks second in the Southeast in container traffic The Georgia Ports Authority has four container berths and 180 acres of paved container storage In addition Family Lines also has its own container ramp in Savannah with storage on the ground for 300 containers more when stacked A huge overhead packer is used to expedite container shipments along with the piggyback ramp Major piggyback shippers using Family Lines in Savannah include Sealand KMart and National Piggyback Another important benefit offered many CSX customers is a computerized tracing system that allows a shipper to determine immediately the location of a shipment This provides tremendous advantages in scheduling and planning The Customer Service Center in Savannah is linked to the entire CSX system and through this computer network the customer can find out with a few key strokes exactly where his cars are and the expected time of arrival Since the merger of Family Lines with Chessie many improvements to equipment have been made according to Savannah Division Supt W E Satterwhite With six yards and 65 tracks serving the Savannah port

bringing the railroads Savannah facilities to tiptop condition The merger has resulted in shorter routes for many shippers improving service especially from Chicago and St Louis stated Supt Satterwhite More efficient use of equipment and a common fleet of rolling stock are other benefits of the merger he noted Twothirds of the business that passes through Savannah already is handled by Family Lines according to Satterwhite By far the biggest Savannah customer of Family Lines is Union Camp Corporation producing nearly 35000 carloads a year for the railroad Forest products represent one of the railroads larger commodities and include everything from pulpwood to wood chips to plywood Family Lines just wrapped up an excellent wheat season with unit grain trains from the expanding wheat fields of Georgia South Carolina and Florida as well as from Ohio and Indiana according to Huband Unit trains operate directly into Garden City for transloading onto ships When the wheat season ends in August the soybean season starts in October helping to keep the Georgia Ports Authoritys grain elevator at Garden City busy A large part of the 600000 tons of wheat shipped through the GPAs bulk facility came in on nearly 3000 Family LinesCSX cars for Continental Grain Company Through the first half of this year Family Lines delivered 1486 carloads of wheat for export Family Lines is well equipped to handle any kind of cargo for the Port of Savannah from the ammonia imported from Russia by Occidental Chemical Company to the Georgia red clay exported by Georgia Kaolin In addition to those mentioned Family Lines Savannah port customers include a number of oil and chemical companies several food products companies all the shipping agents serving Savannah several construction materials companies and even the U S Army The railroad has excellent connecting service between Savannahs two port authority terminals Garden City and Ocean Terminal Family Lines also has direct rail

is to be built on a site leased from Family Lines and served exclusively by Family Lines Family Lines together with its CSX partner Chessie System Railroads already is the largest hauler of coal in America and the expected increase in domestic and foreign demand makes the unit coal train and singlesystem service provided by CSX even more important CSX railroads in 1981 hauled 245 million tons of coal an alltime record Family Lines also is the worlds largest hauler of forest products pulp and paper much of it moving through the Port of Savannah Family Lines also carries large volumes of chemicals food products grain steel construction materials metals ores automobiles and automotive parts appliances and household goods Most of these cargoes move through Savannah everyday en route to markets in every part of the country and many parts of the world The Family Lines and CSX have deep roots in Savannah and the rest of Georgia Family Lines Seaboard Coast Line Railroad has served the Savannah area since 1856 when a predecessor railroad the Savannah Albany and Gulf Railroad Company completed construction of 68 miles of track from Savannah to Screven Ga Modern equipment keeps Family Lines tracks in tiptop condition CSX spent more than a billion dollars in the past two years upgrading track and equipment Another predecessor the Charleston and Savannah Railroad Company opened a line between those two cities in 1860 Family Lines provides employment for nearly 1900 persons in the Savannah area with a payroll of nearly 29 million EDITORS NOTE Well into the second year of the inland carriage deregulation era the controversy continues over the pros and cons of the new operating environment The ultimate beneficiary or victim of any change in truck and rail operation is of course the shipper Nat Welch Executive Vice President of the Georgia Freight Bureau see page 20 draws upon his daily contacts with the organizations membership to provide some telling insights into their views of transportation under deregulation The freight transportation industry is the oldest regulated sector of the American economy This dates from the passage of the Interstate Commerce Act in 1887 The industry received a jolt when Congress passed two years ago the Staggers Rail Act and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 the two most important transportation laws passed by Congress in a single year in this century This legislation partially deregulated both the motor carrier and the rail industries What has been the effect From the shippers viewpoint there have been pluses and minuses The Airline Deregulation Act was passed in 1978 Richard Maurer Vice Chairman of Delta Air Lines recently observed that the airline industry will probably have to go through two complete business cycles before an accurate appraisal can be made of airline deregulation The same is probably true of the freight business How has all this change affected shippers and the Georgia Freight Bureau The Bureau which celebrated its 80th birthday this spring represents 435 shippers and receivers in Georgia Two indices of the Bureaus effectiveness are new members signed and overcharges collected from railroads and motor carriers In the last 18 months the Bureau has added 78 new members and has recovered 740657 in overcharges Collections for 1981 were 56 over 1980 June 1982 broke all Bureau records with 114682 collected Shipper benefits from the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 stem largely from one word competition The Motor Carrier Act of 1935 established very tight entry requirements franchising specific routes to carriers Consequently truckers competed in service but not on rates In fact the ICC prohibited discussion of lower rates in entry cases Rate competition and ease of entry are two hallmarks of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 Eighteen months ago some truckers in the Southern Motor Carriers Rate Conference began offering 10 discounts off of class rates for freight moving in single line service Recently one carrier offered a sizable 26 off class rates between AtlantaBirmingham and AtlantaMemphis Other discounts are offered for multiple pickups and for delivery to a carriers dock Discounts have been a big benefit to shippers Prior to 1980 motor carrier operating rights were very valuable commodities with one carrier paying big money for the rights of another This practice reached its ridiculous extreme when the operating rights of a bankrupt carrier Associated Transport sold for 21 million five years agoa grossly unfair burden to be paid for by shippers and ultimately the public The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 substantially opened up entry multiplied competition and reduced value of operating rights to zeromore benefits to shippers In the meantime many carriers aggressively expanded their scope of operations opening new terminals and going for the heavy freight corridors This meant two big benefits for shippers 1 more competitive options and 2 freight could move on long hauls over one carrier instead of two or three hence a more efficient freight system During the Congressional hearings leading up to the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 motor carriers put great emphasis on their obligation to serve small communities as part of their responsibility under the ICC franchised system Congress was very concerned about the small town service issue and will conduct oversight hearings to monitor this area The continued on page 17 SeptemberOctober 1982 15 Worldwide reliability plus expanded service Now four modem regularly scheduled

small town service so far With the recession traffic is down and carriers are scrambling for business even the small town sector We will have to wait until business picks up substantially to evaluate this issue The recession and deregulation have hit the motor carriers very hard Four out of five general commodity motor carriers lost money the first quarter of 1982 The figures were slightly better in the South 58 lost money this same period In June Barnes Freight Line of Carrollton Georgia established in 1930 ceased operations Congress had concerns about antitrust immunity granted motor carriers to meet in rate bureaus to establish rates collectively and consequently established the Motor Carrier Rate Making Study Commission to report to Congress next year on the future of rate bureaus The Georgia Freight Bureau filed testimony with the Motor Carrier Rate Study Commission supporting the continuation of rate bureaus emphasizing Collective ratemaking under the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 has not inhibited competitive pricing which has actually accelerated under current conditions One need only look at the plethora of rate discount plans to find that this is true This explosion of price reductions has occurred through rate bureaus under the existing collectiveratemaking process The common carriers have lost a sizable portion of their freight especially truckloads to private contract and irregular route carriers The common carrier system is a national asset in the USA How much more freight erosion from common carriers can take place without irreparably harming our common carriage system is a serious question the nation must face up to While shippers have fared well under the Motor Carrier Act benefits have been severely restricted under the Staggers Rail Act The prime purpose of the Act was to remove the heavy hand of regulation from the backs of the railroads so they could compete Congress was tired of financing bankrupt railroads like Conrail Conrail management aggressively used the pricing freedoms of the Staggers Act This was an important reason for Conrail making a profit in 1981 its first in seven years The biggest benefit to shippers under the Staggers Act has been much lower rates on piggyback traffic In March 1981 the ICC completely deregulated piggyback rates Using this price flexibility the railroads aggressively went after highway truckload traffic especially on the long haul heavy traffic corridors like Atlanta to Chicago In the last 18 months general rail rates have advanced 13 and piggyback rates have decreased a conservative 12 a net swing of 25 A big factor producing lower rates has been the favorable volume contracts shippers agents freight forwarders and consolidators have been able to negotiate with railroads There has been little reduction in piggyback rates on short hauls like Savannah to Atlanta simply because the margins are thin Big shippers have been able to negotiate contract rates with the railroads under the Staggers Act but his has been of practically no benefit to the small shipper The Staggers Act accelerated the merger procedures before the ICC In late 1980 the Family Lines and the Chessie System were merged creating a giant northsouth rail system the CSX The Southern and the Norfolk and Western countered by creating the Norfolk Southern Corporation NS which came into being just three months ago The Georgia Freight Bureau is bullish about the long run benefits of these two big mergers but is anxious to see these railroads move forward with promised benefits such as NorthSouth runthrough trains and lower freight rates on grain from the midwest to Georgia poultry and cattle farmers made possible by consolidation economies NS and CSX need to improve TOFC and COFC service between the port of Savannah and the midSouth and midWest While practically all sectors of the economy are suffering from the recession profits are up sharply for Norfolk Southern which earned 269 million the first half of 1982 up 25 from the same period in 1981 CSXs first half earnings were 118 million down 56 from 1981 The biggest drawback shippers have experienced with the Staggers Act is the lack of protection of captive shippers eg coal grain pulpwood and kaolin who have no viable transportation alternatives against unreasonable rail rates Shippers fought hard for protections against railroad monopoly pricing But Staggers safeguards have proven to be a mirage The ICC has set such tight guidelines for determining who is a captive shipper a shipper has yet to prove before the Commission hes captive a prerequisite in any rate investigation In the meantime profits of the Southern carriers mount The National Industrial Traffic League spells out other shipper complaints with the Staggers Act These are 1 Cancellation of joint routes through competitive and economically viable gateways 2 Failure of the railroads to implement Staggers reforms on reciprocal switching and trackage rights 3 No provision for downside adjustment in quarterly rate change in times of recession and falling prices and 4 No passthrough of productivity improvements made by railroads until we get as healthy as we want to be State regulatory bodies such as the Georgia Public Service Commission were virtually stripped of all their powers over railroads The Staggers Act mandated the ICC to take over intrastate rate controlanother shipper loss Changes are taking place so rapidly as a result of the partial deregulation of the motor carrier and rail industries shippers and receivers of freight need a professional organization to turn to hence tne Freight Bureau is busier than ever The cornerstone is a strong staff of ten professionals with 264 years of transportation experience Our present staff includes Traffic Manager Henry Moyers 6 years with the Bureau and 18 years motor carrier Bill Fuller 12 years with the Bureau Vinson Wall 7 years with SMCRC and 10 years with the Bureau Sam Graham 47 years with the Central of Georgia and Southern railroads and 5 years with the Bureau John Youngbeck Union Pacific Railroad and 3 years with the Bureau Laura Howell 37 years with motor carriers and 3 years with the Bureau J W Dunn 38 years experience with motor carriers Stew Gibson 45 years with the NS and Southern railroads Stan Eddy 25 years experience with motor carriers and SMCRC and ICC Practitioner Nat Welch 7 years with the Bureau Another source of strength is a strong Board of Directors The Bureau was called the Atlanta Freight Bureau from 19021976 but changed its name six years ago to the Georgia Freight Bureau This past year Arthur Gignilliat President of Savannah Electric and Power Company and Frank Dennis President of the Augusta Iron Steel Works were elected to the Board for stronger statewide representation Rapid rate and service changes are increasing members needs for fast accurate freight rates and technical transportation advice The largest tariff library in the Southeast gives the Bureau staff the capability of quoting rail and truck rates on almost any commodity moving by regular route common carrier nationwide and to and from Canada To stay abreast of tariff changes the bureau substantially increased its tariff budget and doubled its tariff filing personnel Another of the Bureaus keystone services is the representation of shipper members before rate bureaus and regulatory bodies such as the Georgia Public Service Commission and the Interstate Commerce Commission The Bureau saves Georgia shippers millions of dollars each year in contested cases on rates Following the Bureaus protest the Southern Motor Carrier Rate Conference cut back by 55440000 its April 1981 rate increase Georgia now has an outstanding transportation system in place with excellent deep water ports in Savannah and Brunswick a completed interstate highway system and the worlds biggest and most modern airport in Atlanta With foreign and domestic markets in every direction Georgia shippers look to the future with confidence September October 1982 17 DJAKARTA LLOYD ADDS CONTAINER SERVICE WWHHliBMWWniBlMWWIBWMMMWBBIKIBIBIlMMM The national flag

trading point for Middle and Far Eastern ports made Djakarta Lloyds selection of the port city a logical one Troughton indicates their decision was largely based on two of the same factors enumerated

economics dictating fewer stops on vessel itineraries strategic location within given coastline ranges becomes a critical selling point for competing ports As the westernmost port on the U S Atlantic seaboard Savannah is ideally situated to serve MV Majapahit was the first of Djakarta Lloyds containerships to visit Savannah the transport needs of the bustling southern rim Many of Savannahs steamship lines were involved in the breakbulk trades through the port prior to entering the container business When international demand for container carrying capability caused them to expand in that direction their previous experience in Savannah resulted in their decision to add the port to their container itineraries These new container services have come in addition to rather than in place of existing breakbulk calls While many ports growth in container volumes have come at the expense of breakbulk tonnages Savannah has maintained steady breakbulk increases throughout the period of phenomenal container growth Djakarta Lloyd will extend this tradition by continuing its frequent breakbulk calls to Savannah The diversity of cargoes moving to and from the Middle and Far East commands versatility and high frequency from those lines wishing to ply the trade Djakarta Lloyd has dramatically increased its ability to compete with the introduction of the new container service A

Development SeptemberOctober 1982 19 To the uninitiated the international marketplace often appears as a labyrinth to be avoided More than one prospective importer or exporter has been discouraged by the technicalities regulations and paperwork which abound Fortunately there exist a number of trade and transportation experts eminently qualified to assist the wouldbe trader in his venture Recently a group of these gathered in Savannah to educate members of the Georgia Freight Bureau in the intricacies of world trade The Georgia Freight Bureau is an eighty year old organization which represents the interests of some 425 Georgia shippers According to GFB Executive Vice President Nat Welch the meeting was staged to get the small and medium sized shipper involved in international trade and to provide the nuts and bolts information to the traffic manager that will enable him to increase his imports and exports The leadoff address was delivered by GPA Executive Director George Nichols He stressed the importance of exports in maintaining domestic economic stability pointing to 20 of total GNP exported as a clear indication of their role He quoted widely accepted predictions of doubling of world trade within the decade and urged heavier US participation in promising foreign markets Nichols was critical of selective trade restrictions imposed to achieve political goals Every time we slap on an embargo it is on ourselves and not on the people it was intended to hurt he observed He summarized that the unacceptable side effect of the embargo was to drive foreign buyers to what they perceive as more reliable sources The remainder of the program was devoted to a close look at the day to day trappings of trading in the international marketplace Frank D Jones Vice President and Director of Transportation for Southwire Corporation presented the shippers perspective based on his firms substantial export activity The role of inland transportation in the international shipping cycle was discussed by Jack C Sanford President of Southern Intermodal Logistics Morris Shadburn Vice President of Sales for Georgia Highway Express and G P Hunter Director of International Commerce Norfolk Southern Corporation Raymond Georges Vice President of John S James Company and James Sledge President Anderson Shipping Company itemized the services performed by the freight forwarder and customhouse broker Jerry McManus Savannah District Director for U S Customs highlighted his agencys regulatory and enforcement role The afternoon program featured Thomas McGoldrick Vice President of Strachan Shipping who addressed the functions of the steamship agent and ocean carrier capabilities and responsibilities The remainder of the seminar involved presentations on rates container facilities and future plans by Georgia Ports representatives Joe B Fannon Director of Traffic and Tariffs Pat Ward Manager of CONTAINERPORT operations and John Powers Director of Trade Relations The afternoon concluded with a bus tour of GPAs Savannah terminals 20 AnchorAg Participants were unanimous in their praise for the seminar One current shipper estimated he could have saved considerable expense and three weeks of telephone time had he been able to attend the presentation prior to initiating his import activity Nat Welch indicates that the Georgia Freight Bureaus success with this

to Georgias transportation and industrial officials Currently the State of Georgia is studying the negative economic impact caused by the span and is examining options for its replacement At its last meeting the Propeller Club attracted James L Stanley Chief of the Bureau of Public Transportation of the Georgia Department of Jim Stanley of the Georgia Department of Transportation appraised Propeller Club members of the status of the Talmadge Bridge Replacement Study Transportation to discuss the status of the study Stanley first reviewed general transportation and harbor projects in which the State of Georgia has participated financially in recent years He cited expenditures for the Savannah Transit Authority Kings Island Turning Basin and disposal storage areas as examples of the states keen interest in providing optimum transportation facilities at Georgias port cities Next Stanley outlined the purposes of the study noting In particular we were seeking to quantify the competitive continued SeptemberOctober 1982 23 PORTFOLIO Continued disadvantages which may result from restraints placed on the size and height of ships which may use Savannah as a port of call over the next 2030 years To this end the state commissioned a Greiner Engineering Sciences study which concluded that the cumulative economic loss to the port and state would be about 780 million by the year 2010 Stanley added that an independent University of Georgia study suggests the figure may be understated The state study identified two general location alternatives according to Stanleyone within the present corridor and one crossing in the vicinity of West Lathrop Avenue He indicated that design specifics are dictated largely by the prerequisite envelope of 500 horizontal and 175 vertical feet of clearance Based on the Greiner study conclusion DOT Commissioner Moreland concluded justification existed for advancing the study Stanley indicated that 200000 was approved for the work and that it was currently underway with completion expected early next year The bulk of the work consists of refinement of location alternatives and precise costing While final figures must await completion of the study Stanley indicated that any of the four alignments now being considered would require a bridge costing in the vicinity of 100 million During the question and answer session following his presentation Stanley made several cogent points He reemphasized the width problems associated with the bridge in terms of increasing vessel traffic and future channel widening He concluded by observing that the design location and accurate cost figures produced by the study would permit the process of location of funding sources to begin Savannah Customs Collections on Record

immediate effect has been to improve frequency from monthly to semimonthly The foreign itinerary for the doubled service will continue to include stops at Jeddah Singapore Port Kelang Penang Jakarta Bangkok Labuau Manila Hong Kong and Keelung With the redeployment Barber has also made a rotation change of particular advantage to Savannah shippers Previously the vessels had made a fairly large number of U S calls after Savannah with a predictable effect on export transit With the addition of the four vessels sailing times from the port will be reduced approximately 17 days according to Lance Brockmeier of Harrington Co Savannah agents for Barber Previously the Barbers Menestheus Thermopylae Tsu and Terrier constituted the fleet for the Savannah run both loading and discharging cargo during their Savannah stopovers To these have been added the Memnon Tennessee Talisman and Menelaus which will load only alternating voyages with the original four vessels The additional calls were shifted from Charleston to permit Barber to centralize its South Atlantic export operations High volume Middle and Far East shipping activity through Savannah was a major determinant in the lines selection of its Southeast U S centerport The first of the recently added ships to call was the Barber Tennessee She ably displayed the transport flexibility which Barber hopes will attract area shippers The 561 foot 27750 dwt vessel is capable of accepting 725 TEU of containers as well as sizable lots of breakbulk cargo She can handle reefer containers as well and boasts ships gear capable of heavy lifts to 150 tons Brockmeier reports cargo offerings for the first trip included a large consignment of PVC piping and parts plus several lots of miscellaneous breakbulk cargoes In making the decision to redeploy this segment of its fleet Barber could certainly draw on personal experience with the Port of Savannah In addition to this breakbulk run The Barber Tennessee was the first of four vessels which have been added to Barbers SavannahMiddle Far East run Their deployment brings the total number of vessels in the service to eight improves service frequency from monthly to semimonthly and reduces transit times by as much as 17 days the line operates 3 other services out of the port providing Ro Ro container and breakbulk service to ports ranging in location from the Far East to

also points to his firms location as a key factor He cites firsthand contact with the firms with which they are doing business and the ability to maintain control of the product shipped from point of origin through container loading as advantages to the Dalton location The overriding factor in the decision to locate in North Georgia was of course the availability of a wide range of producers of high quality carpet Based on the volume of their business the two firms inject millions of dollars yearly into Georgias economy Their activity through the current economic slowdown has helped cushion the impact on the carpet and clay industries of lagging domestic markets Governor Busbees awards were designed to express the states recognition of and gratitude for their significant contributions to

well recognized and frequently utilized fleet from Sete on to La Spezia and Castellon de la Plana to load Westbound cargo for Venezuela and Mexico After Mexico the vessels next stop is the U S where eastbound cargo is loaded for the return trip Savannah is the only east coast port served as well as the last outbound guaranteeing minimum transit times for export cargoes Other ports on Merzarios

accept reefer as well as dry boxes Yang Ming is represented locally by Southern Shipping A growing number of shippers have found that considerations of cost and transit time make landbridge an unviable alternative The reasons the vast majority have opted for Savannah as their South Atlantic port are service facilities location and of course steamship availability The list of Far Eastern carriers which call the port is strong and diversified This commitment to Savannah results in the ports being designated in many instances as first in last out and only South Atlantic port of call

foreground ensure full utilization of the new facility The leasepurchase arrangement enables Georgia Ports to extend its Brunswick terminal operations with minimum risk Tonnages needed to rationalize the cost of purchasing the facility can be developed during the lease period at the highly favorable debt service rate Generally emplacing new facilities requires considerable up front money and repayment of bonded indebtedness cannot begin until the completion of construction However the city dock arrangement will permit GPA to establish Expands Brunswick Terminal Operations Georgia Ports Authority has reached agreement with the City of Brunswick to lease its dock along the East River GPA will utilize the wharf and an adjacent 17 acre tract under a five year lease Included in the contract are two additional five year renewal options The dock is a modern concrete on concrete pile structure measuring 786 feet in length On the backup acreage Georgia Ports will begin construction immediately of a 105000 square foot transit shed The building will be utilized primarily to store bulk edibles and some breakbulk cargoes The transit shed will cost The Brunswick city dock provides Georgia Ports with a modern 786 foot berth and ample land for warehousing and open storage approximately 750000 and will be available for use by the end of the year Terms of the contract provide GPA the option to purchase the site at any time during the lease The ultimate price will be set at the unamortized balance of the outstanding bonds utilized in construction of the dock The rental will equal the amount of the monthly debt service and will continue to reduce the principal up to the time of purchase Currently the balance on the bond issue rests at 11 million The dock lies less than a mile upriver from GPAs East River Terminal The U S Army Corps of Engineers has agreed to dredge the channel to the city dock to a depth of 27 feet This extension of deepwater capability will iiy iiMH sufficient revenues to justify the purchase prior to actually incurring the full debt Tonnages at the East River Terminal jumped nearly 50 during the past fiscal year The impending completion of the channel to Colonels Island will permit construction startup of a 50 million dry bulk facility there Allied Universal will soon join SCM as an industrial tenant of Colonels Island And now Georgia Ports will extend its East River operations to the city dock In short the recent flurry of activity in Brunswick indicates that the attention of the business world is turning with increasing interest to the

list at Colonels Island will soon be augmented with the construction of Allied Universals chemical packaging plant Leon Namoff founder of the firm made the announcement in conjunction with the signing of the deed for acquisition of their parcel on the island Namoff indicated that construction will commence within 60 days The project is expected to take four months to complete with operations scheduled for start up in the early Spring of next year Allied Universal will utilize the Colonels Island plant to rebottle chlorine for commercial use The company buys the product in bulk and places it in either 150 or 2000 lb capacity steel cylinders Namoff indicated that much of the product will move in export with most of the consignees being municipalities and quasigovernmental agencies The announcement culminated a lengthy campaign by the BrunswickGolden Isles Chamber of Commerce and the Georgia Ports Authority to attract Allied Universal to the port Namoff summarized one of the major determinants in his site selection stating The company expects to take advantage of the excellent port facilities in Brunswick as they were a primary consideration for our locating here He also cited proximity to suppliers of the bulk chlorine as another important consideration Allied Universals plant on Colonels Island will be located on a 20 acre site The facility will be constructed at a cost of 1 million and will ultimately employ 10 people Namoff indicated that the majority of the staff would be hired locally The plant will occupy only 45 acres of the companys property Namoff indicated that the extra land was acquired for two purposes to provide some physical separation from adjacent industry and for space for future growth Expansion has characterized Allied Universals history since Namoff founded it in 1957 in Miami The firms network of plants has grown to include two in Florida and one in New Jersey Much of the output of these three as will be the case with their Colonels Island operation is directed toward exports The same attributes which attracted SCM to Colonels Island have brought Allied Universal to the Brunswick area As the westernmost port on the US Atlantic coast it offers favorable inland rates to a large hinterland Interstate 95 and an established rail network provide the means for an impressive list of carriers to offer frequent competitive land transport 2200 acres of industrial and deepwater sites offer countless alternatives for prospective users Finally modern port facilities are regularly called by steamship lines providing global

and all three engines meet Federal Railway Association FRA standards for operation While in Savannah the new units will acquire some cosmetic work including affixing of the official GPA railroad logo The three units 8235 8237 and 8239 are 1954 models with multiunit capabilities enabling them to be run in tandems The GP 7 class engines are EMD units manufactured by General Motors All three of the units were purchased from the Southern Two were originally utilized in the Tennessee Alabama Georgia Railroad which was subsequently acquired by the Southern All three of the locomotives were delivered by rail direct to Savannah via Southern Railroad Each engine cost 80000 and has the ability to perform at 100 for at least 10 years They will be temporarily rotated with the other GPA railroad engines to allow time to perform any needed maintenance on the two other locomotives already in service Future plans call for one of the engines to remain in Savannah while the other two will be used to move building materials during construction of GPAs dry bulk facility at Colonel Island Once that future deepwater site is complete the two units will remain on the island to be utilized as switchers for the facility Contrary to the lettering pictured the locomotives are not matching his and her engines They are however the three latest additions to the GPA railroad awaiting their

catefO auxltt ta ta luzuiUdl Georgia AnchorAge FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority George J Nichols After a record grain year in FY 82 the Port of Savannah appears poised for another good year in agriexports The two prime components of the export portfolio for GPAs multiproduct dry bulk facility soybeans and wheat are both coming off solid performances and projections point to an eclipsing of the 104 million ton standard set last year Some 14000000 bushels of soybeans moved through during the past shipping year Based upon our monitoring of plantings size and quality of harvest and overseas demand we anticipate an appreciable increase beyond this figure Wheat plantings will decline somewhat because of depressed prices However we expect our handle to remain about the same due to the stability of foreign markets Exports of this commodity should remain at last years level of approximately 19000000 bushels Another Georgia agricultural staple will make a strong showing this year Following a deficit year two years ago which actually saw peanuts imported through Savannah exports are expected to be brisk This years crop is reported to be the highest quality ever due largely to the ideal growing conditions which prevailed throughout the season The US as a whole is expected to deliver approximately 350000 tons of peanuts to foreign shores this year Of the total some 6070 will originate in Georgia The long range future of the agriproducts trade through Georgias ports looks even brighter Research by the State Department of Agriculture and University system is identifying new crops and hardier strains to be added to the crop lineup Improved irrigation crop maintenance and harvesting systems are enhancing quality and per acre yields Inland transportation improvements such as an extensive interstate network and rail coverage expanded by recent mergers are facilitating port delivery of farm commodities The ability of Georgias ports to handle these goods already well established and recognized is about to receive a tremendous boost We have begun construction of a 50 million plus bulk facility in Brunswick which will be equipped to handle export edibles at loading rates up to 2000 tons per hour An extension to transit shed I at East River will increase throughput potentials for feeds and glutens already moving through on a regular basis The Colonels Island facility will also produce a boost for Savannahs grain handling capacity Currently onehalf of Savannahs bulk flat storage building is reserved for minerals When the Colonels Island plant is completed in the Spring of 1984 these commodities will be transferred there and the space will be dedicated to grain Shortly thereafter we expect to double annual shipments of wheat soybeans and other grains Our greatest protection against softness in particular markets is a diversified cargo base When we constructed our bulk facilities ten years ago one of our aims was to make agricultural products in bulk an integral component of our commodity list Statistics for the decade show that our research was wellfounded Our ongoing construction programs suggest that our soundings continue to read favorably The role of America as the bread basket to the world is wellestablished Georgia Ports Authority is positioning itself and in turn the farm community in our statesto

worldwide is primarily a function of the condition of the construction industry The current global economic slump has produced predictable effects on both commercial building and housing starts Here in the US the picture is not much brighter Lagging domestic demand has forced many long established mills into foreclosure while those still functioning are operating at less than capacity Imports of specialty woods for homebuilding and furniture manufacturing have dropped off tracking the housing slump Exports have felt the combined pinch of reduced overseas demand rising transport costs and a strong dollar Despite these conditions opportunities remain today for the creative entrepreneur to identify and enter active markets An examination of the recent history of lumber shipments through Savannah reveals a pattern of growth through the current recessionary cycle It is significant that during a period when delivery costs are receiving the most intense scrutiny ever Savannah is emerging as a major contender for lumber cargoes Selection Criteria The primary component of Savannahs lumber export portfolio is southern yellow pine The popularity of the port as a throughpoint for this

moye stating This enables us to work more closely with the mills we want to represent Pacific Caribbean Shipping carries from 10 to 12 million board feet of pine to Venezuela and the Caribbean Their decision to call Savannah was predicated not only on the availability of sizable volumes now but in the future Company President John May explains The Southeast will continue to have the greatest maintenance of forest products availability The Sun Belt offers a vibrant market for the lumber importer Industrialization continues at a rapid pace far in excess of the US national average This southward surge is generating construction contracts for factories office buildings shopping centers recreational facilities and homes for the increasing number of people who work and play in them There is no better example of this latter day industrial revolution than the city of Atlanta which has emerged as the economic and transportation hub of the new South Savannahs proximity to this bustling megalopolis generated much of the import lumber activity of recent years The availability of reliable steamship service remains a critical ingredient in the port selection process Savannahs steamship solicitation efforts are designed to achieve the optimum in geographic coverage handling versatility punctuality frequency and competitive costing Whether lumber shipments move breakbulk or in container Savannah offers a wide range of services to meet shipper timetables The addition of nearly 50 scheduled steamship services in the last two years has added still more diversity to the lineup The terminals at which these many lines call are designed to minimize throughput times Nineteen breakbulk and four container berths are backed up by hundreds of acres of payed dockcontiguous open storage for mar Statistics reveal Georgia Ports steady growth in lumber handling tonnage throughout the period of the current economic slump Thousands of Tons 90 Fiscal Years ending 630 Projected shalling lumber If protected storage is required 42 million square feet are available A full complement of lifting equipment and easy truck and rail access to all facilities assure prompt turnaround of inland arrivals and departures Moving In Imports of lumber through Savannah exceed exports by a small and shrinking margin Imports for calendar 1981 were up 21000 tons from the previous year to 79000 tons total valued at some 268 million Imports for the past year reached 69000 tons with a value of 246 million The diversified list of imports includes plywood and corestock from the Philippines and South America cedar hemlock and fir from Canada and mahogany andiroba and veneers from South America Applications for these goods range from construction to furniture manufacturing to panelling The importation of Canadian lumbers through Savannah has grown steadily since 1975 One of the first firms to move these goods from British Columbia through the Panama Canal to the Southeast was Seaboard International Lumber and Plywood Inc From 1974 volumes of 5000000 board feet their annual Savannah throughput reached 19000000 board feet in 1981 and has reached as high as 28000000 in a single year Seaboards import manifests regularly include western hemfir red cedar douglas fir and western sprucepinefir SPF The goods are destined for the construction industry throughout the Southeast for homebuilding and industrial projects particularly in the Atlanta area President Robert Kirkham cites Savannahs proximity to the states capitol as the prime reason so much of the companys product moves through the port Seaboards recognition of the importance of Atlanta to their overall sales effort resulted in the recent opening of an office in that city From their new location the company sells to retailers in the immediate Atlanta area and as far down as Alabama and north into the Carolinas Kirkham explains the rationale for the move stating In order to guarantee our mills production would be getting the same expo NovemberDecember 1982 5 Full rail access is provided to all lumber storage areas at GPAs Savannah and Brunswick terminals of Frotas lumber moves to the US consist of mahogany Other strains include andiroba veneers cedar and plywood as well as finished items such as moldings and door and window frames Captain M Santos is the General Manager of the Liner Division of Omnium Agencies US representatives for Frota Amazonica He reports that while Brazilian lumber exports for 1982 are expected to meet 1981 volumes they will not achieve the 15 growth which had been projected He blamed the general world economic slump stating Manufactured lumber products such as frames and moldings Anchor Age sure in the marketplace as their competitors we had to become more grassroots and reach out to the lumber dealers on a daily basis We couldnt be sure this was happening with an exclusively wholesale arrangement Seaboard quantifies its confidence in the strength of southern markets with an ultimate sales goal of over 30 million board feet per annum for its Atlanta operation The MaxeyBosshardt Lumber Company based in Duluth just outside Atlanta is an area wholesaler heavily involved with Canadian lumber Their imports through Savannah represent 20 of the firms total sales In the three short years MaxeyBosshardt has been involved in the trade their inbound volumes have skyrocketed to 36 million board feet per year Hemlock accounts for 75 of the total with cedar douglas fir and redwood comprising the balance MaxeyBosshardts sphere of operations includes everything south of the Allegheny and east of the Mississippi and occasionally Texas according to coowner Weyman Maxey A distribution center in Atlanta caters to dealers and direct mill shipments to customers also constitute an important segment of the companys activities Maxey reports his company has flourished despite the recession primarily because of a calculated gamble which left him with good supplies of wood during a production Pacific Carribeans MV Panay is one of three vessels which carry some 12 million board feet of lumber annually in the SavannahCaribbean trades stoppage He sees a continuing growth in his handling of Canadian products and plans to augment his international volumes with an imminent venture into export markets MaxeyBosshardt is heavily involved in domestic sales of southern yellow pine Fifty percent of the companys total sales stem from this commodity with monthly activity of 35 million board feet Maxey feels this large scale participation in the pine business provides a natural entree into export marketing of the product Its a logical complement to what we already do he observed Frota Amazonica is one of the ocean carriers which delivers a portion of Savannahs lumber imports The line provides scheduled service to Brazil and also offers inducement calls to the Islands of the Atlantic Some 75 have suffered because theyre utilized in the construction industry He also cited the construction slowdown for causing a lag in demand for the fine Brazilian hardwoods used by the US furniture industry Santos noted that a major shortfall in Brazilian production capability had resulted due to delays in the massive Tucurui hydroelectric project It will cover over 3000000 acres of wooded land much of which was to be harvested in advance of the flooding Funding and production problems have delayed cutting and timber availability to Brazilian mills has not met expectations Georgia Pacific is a major bidirectional lumber shipper Their Savannah mill receives large amounts of plywood and corestock for further processing The majority is converted to simulated wood grain panelling by a process of printing or paper overlay Still more is veneered The finished products are utilized in cabinet making mobile home manufacturing and general constuction Moving Out GPs export volumes through Savannah are about to receive a major boost with the opening of their Ellabell plant The facility will be producing lumber and pine flitches and the first outbound shipment has already passed through en route to Italy Richard Warner Manager of Ocean Freight for Georgia Pacific reports that 20 of the full capacity production of the plant has been earmarked for export Ultimately GP plans to ship 1000000 board feet monthly Warner projects a more modest start given the current economic state of affairs but expects these levels to be attained in the nonetoodistant future The majority of the materials will be consigned to Italy where they will be used to build furniture and door casings Georgia Pacific relocated its headquarters to Atlanta last fall Warner characterized the change as a move to get back toward our markets It is significant that both GPs corporate center and its newest plant are located in the heart of Savannahs wellforested hinterland Cohen Brothers Export Lumber Specialists CBELS are shippers of southern yellow pine and hardwoods Jeffrey Cohen indicates that the combination of recession and a strong dollar has wreaked havoc with the export lumber business His firms 30 sales lag and numerous broker bankruptcies and mill closings are signs of the times Cohen indicates that his suppliers are running at about 60 capacity and that 20 of southern mills were lost to foreclosure in the past year CBELS finds some consolation in the fact that when the turnaround begins they will be competing against a smaller field Cohen predicts the catchup period for construction will breed brisk activity Cohen said If we can hold on for the time being when the recovery begins business will be great While shipments of hardwoods and finished lumber products continue to lag exports of southern yellow pine have remained strong Pacific Caribbean Shippings vessels have been carrying sizable consignments of the product to the islands for two years While the growth spurt is over levels remain consistent Pacific Caribbean President John May observes Were seeing an evening out of demand because the recession is finally reaching the Caribbean IslandsNevertheless throughput remains in the 1012 million board feet per year range May blames the construction slowdown in the islands on the devastation of the banana crop two years ago by hurricane He indicated that the income produced by the fruit was the primary source Brunswicks East River Terminal top and the newly acquired city dock are well equipped to handle lumber shipments of all types of these nations buying power and that these losses coupled with a drop in tourism had diminished area demand for lumber Despite these conditions Pacific Caribbean has been eminently successful in their venture Weve gone from nothing to 8 million gross sales in two years out of Savannah May stated At the recent Georgia Foreign Trade Conference another member of the local shipping community was honored Savannahbased NovemberDecember 1982 7 Jeffrey Cohen President of Cohen Brothers Export Lumber Specialists reports his firm moved to Savannah to be closer to the mills the firm represents Their efforts in the southern yellow pine and hardwood export market include firsthand visits to their suppliers facilities Georgia Ports wide margins permit loading of trucks at the berth Caribbean Lumber received the coveted Presidential E Award for excellence in exporting See GFTC article in this issue page 33 The Spanish Line story on page 12 of this issue provides another indication of the vitality of Savannahs lumber trade with mention of sizable containerloads of lumber moving aboard their first vessel Lumber in Georgia With the rapid development of Atlanta and industrialization throughout the state Georgias lumber demand is obviously skyrocketing But the states ability to produce is considerable as well The Port of Savannah looms as the natural gateway for goods made available for export by Georgias expansive wood industry In 1981 248 sawmills were in operation in the state Total 1980 production for the group reached a staggering 202 billion board feet Twentytwo more plants produced over 300 million board feet of plywood and veneers Another 22 treated and shipped nearly 5 million fence posts and 55 million board feet of poles Much of the Port of Savannahs handson experience with lumber derives from meeting the diverse needs of Georgias wood export community MV Tocantins is one of the Frota Amaznica vessels which regularly deliver lumber from Brazil to Savannah The Crystal Ball There is universal agreement among Savannahs lumber traders that the long awaited turnaround in the world economy will begin soon Most agree that the signs will become visible by the end of the second quarter next year There is also consensus that the process will be gradual with few growth spurts or rapid increases in sales Jeffrey Cohen of CBELS says Were predicting a long term recovery Were still a full two years out from returning 8 Dockside open storage at Ocean Terminal can simultaneously accommodate tens of millions of board feet of lumber Hundreds of acres of open marshalling areas are available in Savannah as well as nearly 5 million square feet of protected storage Anchor Age November December 1982 9 to a healthy economic climate Obviously the condition of the lumber industry worldwide and that of the US import lumber business are largely a function of the housing industry Both Bob Kirkham of Seaboard and Weyman Maxey of MaxeyBosshardt are projecting increases in US housing starts next year Kirkham predicts a rise to between 13 and 15 million while Maxey sets the figure at 1350000 and indicates The trend will definitely be up in response to a generally improved economy and decreased interest rates Kirkham is hopeful that the total will approach the 15 million mark in 1983 and hopes Maybe we can get back to the 19 20 million range by 19868788 He places part of the burden on the lenders stating The key is going to be the financial community making it viable for young people to buy a home again in their lifetime The two carriers interviewed expect their volumes of existing contracts to remain fairly stable They look toward specific new business as the key to their future growth Captain Santos describes the restart of the Tucurui hydroelectric project as a potential source of tremendous amounts of lumber For the longer term Frota is examining service expansion as a means of increasing volumes Santos says We are studying Journal of Commerce statistics to examine the possibility of establishing regular monthly service to Kingston Jamaica from Atlantic and Gulf ports Venezuela will be an increasing market out of Savannah according to John May of Pacific Caribbean He also indicates that good banana crops and improved tourism generated by an healthier overall economy will put lumber buying funds back in the coffers of many of the island nations Georgia Pacific will add significantly to Savannahs import tonnages when the company begins next year to bring in approximately four ships annually Each will discharge m some 45000 tons of plywood and corestock most of which will be destined for their local plant On the export side the firm has some very specific goals for its Ellabell operation According to Richard Warner GP hopes to move 500000 board feet per month in the first quarter of 1983 to rise to 1000000 board feet monthly by years end This level should be maintained Warner stated explaining Down the line wed like to see these markets holding at the 1000000 level indefinitely The Port of Brunswick will assume a greater role in assisting Georgias lumber industry in the near future Already well established in the movement of the forest products such as pulp and linerboard the port should soon see regular movements of lumber as well Like Savannah Brunswick is situated at the doorway to a major lumber production and consumption heartland Like Savannah it boasts modern facilities excellent inland connections and a reputation for individualized service These ingredients plus encouraging market intelligence have precipitated ambitious expansions plans Construction in Brunswick will double transit shed space in the near future The newly leased city dock provides a fourth berth and 17 acres of open storage One feature of the city dock complex will be a 105000 square foot transit shed to be in operation early next year It will be GPA owned and operated by Marine Port Terminals MPT has placed lumber high on its list of priorities for filling the new facility Carl Prendergast of MPT states We are actively pursuing the export of lumber through Brunswick and there are several interested parties The combined Georgia PortsMarine Port Terminals marketing effort is certain to Lots of space for lumber storage both in use and available suggest the formula which makes Ocean Terminal a popular transit point for import and export lumber insert Brunswick into the lumber import export business in the near future With the economic barometer expected to begin moving up in the near future it is safe to say that the lumber trade through Savannah has come through the crunch in remarkably good shape Construction markets throughout the Southeast and Atlanta in particular have not slumped as severely as have those in other areas As a result import demand has remained strong with an increase from 1980 to 1981 of over 30 in inbound shipments Cohen Brothers plans to build a kiln in Savannah which will ultimately produce over 1 million board feet per month for export Production from the facility will eventually double CBELS local throughput Jeffrey Cohen states These kilns are a response to the fact that the southern yellow pine market is the only one with any appreciable activity at this time This phenomenon accounts largely for a continued strong showing in exports which grew from 13000 tons in 1978 to nearly 70000 tons in 1981 Growth in bad times can only predict more dramatic growth when the economy is more normal Healthy lumber volumes at Georgias ports will soon reap the benefits of increased housing starts capacity mill output and introduction of new mills additional steamship calls and expanded facilities Whether the standard is board feet cubic meters or tons Savannah and Brunswick are in for heavy long term participation in this burgeoning trade ffl 10 Anchor Age DIRECT SERVICE FROM SAVANNAH GA 18 MW TO NEW ZEALAND Auckland and Wellington 20 DATS TO AUSTRALIA BRISBANE SYDNEY

will bring one of the lines vessels to Savannah every three weeks to handle cargoes for and from Las Palmas Tenerife Palma de Mallorca Lisbon Barcelona Valencia Alicante Cadiz Bilbao Genoa and Leghorn Savannah has been designated the last outbound call on the US side guaranteeing minimum transit times of 9 days to the Canaries and 12 days to Spain Anchor Age The two vessels which will execute the service certainly merit the description combination The MVs Camino II and Merced II are R0R0L0L0 carriers of 9300 DWT apiece Each can carry up to 620 TEUs of containers rolling stock and miscellaneous breakbulks They are two deck vessels in which the tween deck is designed to accommodate the full range of RoRo cargoes The lower hold is utilized for carrying containers This capability can be augmented by stowing boxes NovemberDecember 1982 in the tween deck when it is not being utilized for RoRo units Spanish Line is emphasizing house to house containers a practice which has met with considerable favor among area shippers according to Walter Caceres of Stevens Shipping local agents The carrier is soliciting the full range of containerized cargoes including machinery lumber high tech items clay etc as well as rolling stock and breakbulk The MV Guadalupe I made Spanish Lines first call to Savannah in conjunction with the lines Mediterranean service She has subsequently been replaced by two RoRoLoLo combination ships Spanish Line has set minimum revenue standards to determine the desirability of continuing the run indefinitely For the first vessel bookings of 46 containers produced income some 20 above projections One of the major moves for the first voyage involved 13 sizable consignments of export lumber from two Savannah based shippers The future looks even more promising Berry Rich of Stevens reports Based on early bookings we just may double what we did on the first vessel This brisk response to the new independent service leads Caceres to believe that initial projections may be exceeded by a factor of two It is common practice for many shippers to bypass the early sailings on a new service until they are convinced of its stability Transatlantica Spanish Line seems to have cleared this obstacle with little difficulty Stevens reports that first sailing volumes Spanish Lines reputation for service and punctuality and solid bookings for future voyages are breeding confidence among a large group of shippers who are now stepping forward with cargo offerings Transatlanticas 100 years of involvement in the USSpanish trades certainly suggests exactly the type of stability so crucial to world traders Transatlantica Spanish Line inaugurated its Gulf service in June of this year as part of the companys major expansion

Sealift Command carries direct responsibility for overseas delivery of up to 90 of troops and supplies in any international emergency He recently addressed the Savannah Chapter of the Propeller Club on the status and direction of his command Vice Admiral Kent J Carroll Commander Military Sealift Command Discussing the lack of emphasis on sea deployment capability since World War II Carroll observed Until recently the Defense Department has pursued sealift with relentless apathy He argued that the U S sealift base has diminished considerably and cited two major causal factors First he noted that a strong healthy U S Merchant Marine has been taken for granted Secondly he explained that military planning has been concentrated exclusively on being prepared for a NATO war in Western Europe Carroll identified three domestic sources for vessels needed for sealift the Navys Military Sealift Command nucleus fleet the mothball fleet and the ships of the active U S merchant marine He

number of other indicators were also cited The 35 of our waterborne commerce carried by U S flag vessels in 1952 has dwindled to 5 today Thirty years ago the U S boasted more than 1400 privately owned oceangoing vessels in operation as compared to 500 today Over the same period the number of seagoing jobs has dropped from 70000 billets to 18000 Carroll stated that crew costs were a major factor contributing to the depletion of the U S fleet He noted that they were three times as high as those in countries with comparable standards of living and as much as six times higher than third world countries He added that archaic union rules were largely responsible for driving crew costs up He characterized them as a Byzantine maze with no connection to the operation and technology of modern ships Carroll identified high personnel costs on MSCs contract operated vessels as a major cost burden He cited the example of the masters billet on MSCs tankers which will cost 300000 annually to fill by the end of 1983 No wonder U S flag shipping isnt competitive on the world market he observed Highlighting the new emphasis on sealift requirements Carroll discussed some bright spots He pointed to the maritime unions willingness to discuss changes in crew sizes salaries and benefits He indicated that recently initiated prepositioning programs have dramatically improved deployment capability to areas such as Southeast Asia This Near Term Prepositioning force will soon be augmented when the expanded maritime prepositioning and fast sealift programs are complete According to Carroll sealift improvements include extensive newbuildings and conversion of vessels The six ships being prepared for the prepositioning programs will generate over 500 million in payrolls and tax revenues and 9600 shipyard jobs Overall sealift enhancement programs will inject some 15 billion into the maritime economy in the next 5 years A major component of the sealift fleet will be a group of eight SL7 vessels recently purchased from SeaLand These are currently being converted to Ro Ro carriers With their 33 knot cruising capability and large cubic capacity they are ideally suited for rapid delivery of up to two heavy mechanized or armored divisions Carroll noted that Savannah with its proximity to the Fort Stewart Hunter Army Airfield complex is receiving strong consideration for placement of the SL7s Carroll concluded with a brief summary of the historic significance of sealift capability up through the Falkland Island crisis He characterized the recent flurry of sealift related activity as recognition of its continuing importance in any conflict which might arise now or in the forseeable future 5E NEW VP FOR ZIM Eh Steinbuch President of ZimAmerican Israeli Shipping

as it was a success in terms of both business and social events Distinguished representatives of the manufacturing transportation and governmental sectors comprised the slate of speakers and panel Their presence made the event an unparalleled opportunity for participants to augment and refresh their professional knowledge Based upon feedback from those in attendance this conference will be remembered as each years is the best yet The conference format was a bit different this year Four panels revolving around the central conference theme were staged Each consisted of a presentation by a featured speaker followed by replies from a fixed panel of five The latter group was structured so as to provide a cross section of transportation and related interests Panellists were Raymond Miles Executive Vice President Barber Blue Sea George J Nichols Executive Director of Georgia Ports Authority Thomas G Travis Sandler and Travis PA John P Scally Manager Export Transportation of General Electric Corporation and Henry Graebner Manager of International and Marine Transportation of JM Huber According to veteran conference partici pants the new approach generated unprecedented exchange of information and ideas Credit for the format and solicitation of speakers and panelists falls to Herbert N Baker Jr President of Southeastern Maritime Company and conference program chairman He also served as moderator for the twoday program First Panel Session The first panel session was addressed by Captain Warren G Leback Deputy Maritime Administrator US Department of Trans The Sheraton Savannah Inn Country Club again provided a splendid autumnal setting for GFTC XVI 30 Anchor Age portation as he discussed the impact of organized labor on trade development There is a definite impact of organized labor on trade development Bear in mind I am speaking of contract responsibility productive responsibility and labor stability he said He noted that labor and management have worked together since 1972 to bring predictability to the maritime scene and cited ten strikefree years for seagoing labor as evidence of the new harmony Leback was firm in calling for recognition of all the factors affecting US participation in foreign trade Labor and management should not be expected to bear the brunt of making our exports competitive in the world market Inland transportation production costs and raw material costs must also share in the drive to make US exports competitive Discussing productivity as it applies to seagoing and longshore labor Leback outlined the progression of ocean transportation from a labor intensive industry to a capital intensive one He cited predictable effects on crew and gang sizes and reported that labor has worked to provide sensible ways to attain needed reductions He cautioned against wholesale layoffs of veteran laborers predicting such actions would lead to disarray throughout the industry He offered an alternative method stating We can bring the labor force to a productive size through attrition and control of new entries He also cited fringe benefits as an area where reexamination might yield significant cost savings It would be irresponsible to state that organized labor does not have an impact on trade development Leback observed However he argued that its effect was often exaggerated in comparison to the contributions to total costs from other sources He adopted the position that labor contributed only a small amount to final delivered prices Leback was quick to address the issue of federal responsibility in promoting trade We in government must assist through less in Ron Brinson President of the American Association of Port Authorities was the keynote speaker at Wednesdays luncheon He discussed the domestic and world economic outlook from the Washington perspective He also reviewed provisions and status of pending maritime related legislation volvement and reduced regulations subsidies and nonproductive practices He concluded by characterizing the role of government as providing guidance and encouragement but called upon the maritime industry to take the lead in shaping its own destiny Panel Responses Raymond Miles of Barber Blue Sea attached more significance to labor costs characterizing them as an important factor in world trade and significant determinant in freight rates He cited an example of a ChicagoRiyadh container move of which labor accounted for 13 of the total bill Miles noted that Barbers Supercarriers operated with average crews of 22 or 23 as compared to 36 on US flag vessels He contended that this differential alone would produce a wagefringe benefit impact which would significantly raise the transportation addon to total product price Summarizing his belief that labor was a major cost factor he stated The ILA in the United States has done a tremendous job of looking after their members interests However I believe this has been at some cost to the industry Responding to Lebacks call for utilization of US carriers John Scally of GE observed The American flag vessels have the right to compete but they need to be told when theyre not competitive He felt that this call for backing was in fact a reversal of role stating We shouldnt support the American flag carrier the American flag carrier should support the American shipper and manufacturer Scally took issue with Lebacks description of US maritime labor as stable Theyve struck every contract but one for thirty or forty years Thats not stable labor He also offered the opinion that the threat of a strike had an even greater negative impact than the strike itself in terms of bringing unpredictability to the transportation arena Henry Graebner addressed the area of shipbuilding as it impacts American carrier costs He cited the example of a US company which just built a ship domestically for twice what it would have cost overseas Graebner stated the amortization of the higher construction cost would have a definite impact on that carriers rate structure He also stated that since conference rates reflect the costs of their single most expensive operator the effect of the inflated construction cost would be to increase overall conference rates as well Attorney Thomas Travis stated that many labor accommodations have an inherently negative effect on international trade Discussing US labors position on the commerce regulatory structure he stated Weve had almost total opposition to any attempt to liberalize international trade He cited labors stance against the Caribbean Basin initiative as an example of their usual posture He called for recognition of the reciprocal advantages of 31 NovemberDecember 1982 free trade noting Weve got to realize that imports beget exports George Nichols of Georgia Ports Authority noted that local negotiations of labor agreements had worked to the benefit of the South in permitting favorable overall pricing He indicated that Sun Belt industrialization was in some degree attributable to the export economies of shipping through South Atlantic ports Responding to the panel Leback reiterated his contention that The pure wage structure is not a problem He again pointed to fringe benefits as an area which provided tremendous potential for labor cost reductions Leback succinctly enumerated the official position on trade parcelling stating The present administration does not support UNCTAD We will support bilaterals only where they are in the interest of the United States The audience question and answer session produced two major responses Leback discussed the Reagan approach to the Operation Differential Subsidy ODS He indicated that the administration is seeking to renegotiate these to terminate them earlier than scheduled He noted this had already been accomplished with US Lines and talks were progressing with several other carriers Raymond Miles downplayed the significance of national defense implications as an argument in favor of a strong merchant marine Relating the British experience in the Falklands he noted that only 3 of the over 40 vessels utilized during the conflict were modern cargo liners He also felt that the strides made by the US Military Sealift Command in this country further weakened the argument Second Panel Session The second session addressed the issue of the ocean carriers role in building world trade WJ Amoss Jr President and Chief Executive Officer of Lykes Brothers Steamship Company Inc described the changes in that role The ocean shipping industry was once relatively simple he observed Cargo was loaded in one coastal port and discharged at a foreign coastal port It moved in either bulk or small packaged breakbulk movements Amoss noted that traditionally inland movement was of no concern to the ocean carrier as long as the goods arrived dockside in time to meet the vessels schedule Describing the change in this pattern he explained Advances in vessel technology the development of the marine cargo container and the gradual integration of the ocean shipping industry with domestic transportation began in the seventies He indicated that the changing face of world trade has precipitated technological improvements to latter day generations of ships and marine terminals To maximize the benefits availed by the new equipment Ocean carriers have expanded their transportation expertise to include a W J Amoss Jr of Lykes Brothers addresses the audience as the panel prepares to respond Panelists were I to r Raymond Miles Executive Vice President Barber Blue Sea John P Scally Manager Export Transportation of General Electric Corporation Henry Graebner Manager of International and Marine Transportation of J M Huber Thomas G Travis Sandler and Travis PA and George J Nichols Executive Director of Georgia Ports Authority detailed knowledge of the total inland transportation environment according to Amoss He noted that out of necessity the steamship operators have become total transportation specialists It is now routine for many ocean carriers to fully coordinate the movement of ships cargo from the site of manufacture to its final destination Such movement will often involve a combination of truck rail or barge movements along with the ocean segment under a single ocean carrier bill of lading and a single through rate Answering the question posed by the panel The interisland cruise continues to rank among the most popular afternoon events at the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference topic Amoss proposed Our role is to meet the total distribution and logistical needs of the worlds exporting and importing community by providing it with a stable efficient and cost effective integrated worldwide transportation system He noted that the ocean carriers perception of how to fulfill this role must change from technological to service innovation He concluded by defining the successful ocean carrier of the future as the one who can identify and respond to its customers total distribution needs George Nichols the first panelist to respond predicted a decrease in flag waving as a factor in steamship solicitation He noted The basis for the survival of the US flag fleet will be sound leadership competitive service and development of responsible legislative steps to protect the US flag option Thomas Travis agreed with Amoss that ocean carrier involvement with the total transportation package offered opportunities for efficiency and economy However he cautioned We must be careful that the term transportation specialist does not become equal to transportation monopolist Henry Graebner discussed legislation as it affects the ocean carrier He noted that emerging legislation will recognize the fact that what carriers do offshore is not the business of any nations transportation sector as long as it does not conflict with the laws of that country John Scally felt that carriers addressing intermodalism was a progressive step He added that their interest should be extended to lessthancontainerload volumes as well He asked Who will offer shippers consolidation services point to point The firm that does this will open up international trade to the small shipper Scally summarized Amoss theme as being the ocean carrier is more than a porttoport vendor He agreed with this appraisal and called for carriers to pursue pointtopoint handling on an industrywide basis During his remarks Amoss noted the growth in US exports as a percentage of the gross national product Raymond Miles retorted that while the increase was certainly 32 Anchor Age Martin de Jong expresses his firms gratitude for a Presidential E certificate Ivan A Cosimi background of the International Trade Administration of the Department of Commerce was on hand to present the award to Carbide Products Inc of Thomasville Georgia welcome the American level of world trade involvement was far below that of other industrialized nations Were still somewhat surprised and disappointed that US manufacturers havent gotten exports to a much higher level he stated Miles also questioned the value of UNCTAD and bilateral agreements He argued that such restrictions seemed inconsistent with his perception of the carriers purpose as provider of the most efficient economical service possible Answering a question posed by Nichols Amoss deemed it appropriate for a carrier to attempt to influence the policy and legislative direction of its government as it pertains to trade He added that the interests of all carriers should be protected to the greatest degree possible Thomas Travis questioned whether ocean carrier incursions outside their traditional sphere of operations might work to the detriment of marine service agencies Amoss replied 1 do not believe carriers are interested in branching out and assuming the role of freight forwarders He noted that he knew of no carrier which had reduced or eliminated payments to forwarders Amoss agreed with Scally that the needs of the smaller shipper needed to be addressed on a pointtopoint basis He explained that carrier attention was being directed to LCL cargoes by two factors first small shipments are often very lucrative and second small shippers properly served become big shippers He agreed with Raymond Miles appraisal of UNCTAD stating Any agreement that inhibits the distribution of cargo is inconsistent with providing the best service He described a trend toward nationalized shipping among nonCommunist countries He theorized that this could produce unequal competition between general carriers and government subsidized national lines Ivan A Cosimi left Regional Managing Director International Trade Administration Region IV of the U S Department of Commerce presents the Presidential E award to James M Davis Sr President of Savannahs Caribbean Lumber Company The audience participation segment produced the question Why dont more small and medium US firms export and what can a line or forwarder do Amoss proposed that the future of US in exporting depends on productivity and currency relationships He noted The US has wounded itself with high inflation and wages and reduced productivity He chose to answer the question in a hopeful way He claimed If industry and labor take up the challenge and if the currency situation remains stable the US should and can expand the export portfolio He cited high technology items as a field where this has already occurred He also called for recognition and solution of the problem involving competition with the subsidized interest rates offered by the foreign equivalents of our exportimport bank On the same issue John Scally commented that 85 of all exports are handled by 100 companies He indicated that GE is address ing this issue by formation of a trading company which will represent 75100 of the some 20000 small to medium sized companies who produce exportable goods but arent doing so now He predicted that more and more large companies will become involved in this arena using their international sales representation wherewithal to assist the small business constituencies of their trading companies John Travis added that the new legislation on trading companies was a good first step He noted that the compromise which produced the final version left out the whole issue of tax incentives and that this would have to be the next area to be addressed legislatively Third Panel Session Federal Maritime Commissioner James Joseph Carey discussed the administrations efforts to bring professionalism to his department He described his agencys attempts to perform effectively during a period of spending reductions stating We are currently operating at a level 10 below the Carter budget of 2 years ago In detailing the direction of maritime regulatory reform Carey frequently utilized the term modernization He indicated the trend was to make the FMC more business and industry responsive by reducing government involvement in trade He explained The new legislation tells the agency to first give the shipping industry a chance to make things work on its own Carey outlined other provisions of the new legislation The bill favors such economically advantageous arrangements as timevolume agreements independent action shipper contracts and intermodalism in general He also indicated that the final compromise version will also permit shippers councils and provide safeguards for independent carriers From the point of view of vessel owners he Aerobic dancing exhibition attracted large crowds on Thursday night NovemberDecember 1982 33 indicated the reforms were designed to align liner operations with economic realities at home and abroad Carey characterized the overwhelming favorable vote in the house as evidence of the widespread support for reform He defined the FMCs task for the immediate future as reassessing its disruption of competitive forces He concluded with a call for free and open trade stating Lets give commercialenterprise the flexibility to respond to an extremely dynamic international marketplace Raymond Miles applauded the addition of businessmen to the roster of FMC commissioners He expressed optimism regarding the reform legislation as a whole but expressed concern over two particular provisions Miles characterized the introduction of service contracts and provision of independent action for such contracts as forces which could weaken the conference system He also questioned the last minute introduction of language on bilateralism into the bill He noted that it seemed to have gone from a regulatory to a promotional document on this topic Carey responded that he was unsure if the references to bilateralism would survive the joint committee He agreed that the language had been a last minute addition by person or persons unknown John Scally provided a pointbypoint analysis of several of the key provisions of the far reaching legislation He described open conferences as good for shippers but the carriers arent crazy about the idea On the other hand he felt that many shippers were wary of increased antitrust immunity for carriers but indicated this might be necessary to perpetuate cost effective competition He described the independent action provision as essential On the issue of tariff filing with the FMC he felt the carriers had achieved one of their major legislative goals He characterized the language on service contracts as a large shipper win Carey described the shippers council language in the Biaggi version as a nonplus The Gorton bill he noted had a stronger more workable shippers council provision While Carey sees some benefit to the shipper of the council provisions he sees a major advantage for the carriers and conferences as well He stated The shippers council will James Joseph Carey of the FMC responds to questions during Thursday mornings first panel Fellow speaker Arnold McKinnon and Program Committee Chairman and Moderator Herb Baker look on provide not only a shipper forum but a place to get shipper reaction Henry Graebner addressed the issue of independent action as it applies to cargoes which for reasons of origin destination and inland transport economics must move through a particular port Using JM Hubers clay exports as an example he stated I dont see any reason why a carrier shouldnt have the right of independent action for a port that has a captive cargo Graebner called for a return of a portion of import duties collected to fund harbor maintenance Thomas Travis described the Biaggi Bill language on antitrust questions as ridiculous He felt that more clarification and additional regulatory reform was essential observing I am very pessimistic about US transportation firms functioning at the end of the century under the current framework George Nichols applauded the move away from excessive government involvement Were very pleased with the regulatory loosening and market test philosophy being injected into the legislation An audience member told Commissioner Carey that the recent democratic response to President Reagans address used language to the effect We are in a trade war He asked if this sounded a call for protectionism Carey responded by stating his opposition to protectionism saying he felt it was not conducive to a healthy free market Citing its greatest pitfall he said Protectionism achieves nothing except to breed retaliation on the other side of the pond Fourth Panel Session Arnold McKinnon Executive Vice President of Marketing for Norfolk Southern Corporation discussed the role of the railroad in an intermodal era He pointed to the recent SeaboardChessie Burlington Northern Frisco and of course Norfolk Western Southern mergers as events which would greatly facilitate railroad advances in this area He noted The single line hauls made available under the mergers provide new opportunities in the intermodal field On the legislative front the Staggers Act has provided additional flexibility for rail carriers He explained The act has permitted us to gear our service and pricing to what you as customers need to be competitive in the international marketplace As to the future McKinnon believes that the key to optimizing intermodalism lies in increased cooperation throughout the production and shipping process He pointed to predictions of continuing increases in the percentage of total intermodal traffic moving internationally McKinnon stressed that Norfolk Southern agrees with these forecasts and is in the midst of major capital programs to enhance its intermodal handling capabilities George Nichols congratulated McKinnon on the caliber of service provided by the new company since the merger He thanked the line for its recently announced commodity rates between Savannah and the Midwest citing them as a prime example of the innovative service options available under deregulation and the mergers Henry Graebner had two questions for McKinnon First he wanted to know if the passage of the Shipping Act would enhance intermodalism McKinnon replied that to the extent that it would deinvolve government it would be a positive influence Graebners second questions was Will the railroad ever be able to issue through bills of lading in conjunction with the ocean carrier McKinnon stated that as increased regulatory freedom became a reality the transportation sector could get closer and closer to this goal John Scally stated that the reconfigured rail systems now in place since the recent spate of mergers were a definite plus in terms of keeping inland transportation cost competitive He noted that extended single line haul capability now led to bids from all three coasts for cargoes moving for example from a northeastern US location Now thats intermodalism he concluded Raymond Miles noted Through bills of lading are a reality in some cases now He cited this as evidence of the already impressive advance of intermodalism He stated that the future of Savannah or any other port in the intermodal era depended heavily on provision of railroad service which would keep the port competitive from the ocean carriers point of view A Time to Play Social activities during this years

ongoing expansion of the cold storage plant would provide the physical capability to accommodate the fruits of their marketing efforts The 800000 cubic foot addition will be completed by the Spring of

Savannah GA 912 232 3151 NovemberDecember 1982 37 SEATRADE TO SAVANNAH In conjunction with a twelve month trial movement through Savannah Seatrade Line has inaugurated a monthly breakbulk reefer service to the port The movement involves sizeable export shipments of packing house products which will be utilized in the production of pet foods The cargo originated at plants in the upper Midwest Texas and Oklahoma and will be delivered to Holland and the United Kingdom The service was initiated by Seatrades MV Falcon Reefer The Panamanian flag vessel is owned and operated by Elliott Shipping Corporation through its Seatrade subsidiary and boasts 700000 cubic feet of carrying capability for refrigerated cargoes Volume for the first shipment totalled 600 metric tons The carrier is represented in Savannah by Smith Kelly The export move was coordinated by Alltransport Inc of Chicago Alltransport charters space from Seatrade and assigns it to its various customers A number of considerations contributed to the decision to export the cargo through Savannah according to Steven Miszkowicz Manager of Refrigerated Cargo for Alltransport The economy of moving over the road to Savannah as opposed to moving to Northeast ports and ports further down in Florida was a major factor he explained Inport costs also received considerable attention he added stating Cold storage costs at most ports are getting totally out of hand We found that not to be the case in Savannah Miszkowicz is optimistic that the 12 month trial will ultimately produce regular movements through Savannah Provided everything goes well and costs stay within our projections well be here through the test period and beyond he said With large quantities of cargoes expected to move through in the near future availability of additional marshalling space for temperature controlled cargoes was of particular interest to Alltransport Georgia Ports Authoritys cold storage expansion was a key factor in our strategic long range planning Miszkowicz explained With the 800000 cubic foot addition to its cold storage plant scheduled to open on June 0 1 38 Anchor Age 1 1983 the Port of Savannah has begun the

day trip to Auckland arriving in Brisbane two days later Other ports on the itinerary are Sydney Melbourne Adelaide and Fremantle Cargoes for Wellington and Christchurch are also accepted for transshipment off the Auckland call The MV Nagara initiated the new last out service She is one of the three 23 knot vessels the others being the Malmros Monsoon and the Tamara which have provided punctual monthly sailing frequency into Savannah since 1974 AES made the decision to add the last out call to Savannah following a detailed marketing study of export potentials from Savannah to New Zealand and Australia according to Don Fullilove Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Harrington Company which represents AES in Georgia We found we could effectively compete for cargoes which would flow through the Savannah gateway with the addition of our last outbound call he explained AES is emphasizing transport flexibility in its sales efforts Each of the 686foot Swedish flag vessels can handle a combination of containerized and breakbulk cargoes They boast 11 million cubic feet of capacity apiece in nine separate holds This can be used to accomodate up to 1008 TEU of containers and 540000 cubic feet of breakbulk and heavy lift cargoes The aforementioned heavy lifts pose no problem for the three vessels They are equipped with seven single and twin cranes two with 40ton capacity The ships also carry 20 and 40foot automatic spreaders for handling the full range of containers AES has available including open tops half highs and reefers Export shippers involved in these

combined distresses of Georgia sun sand rot and neglect as she lay high and dry on the banks of the Savannah River Now cradled in packing put together by the staff and volunteer workers at Old Fort Jackson the gutsy little vessel veteran of more than 22000 open sea miles and untold shorter voyages along the treacherous coast of the United Kingdom is making her final Atlantic crossing Venus is going home Home to where cliffs rise sheer from grey seas and winds nonchalantly toss sea spray high enough to wet the stunted pines that huddle together along the rocky ledges Home to some of the roughest seas in the world where men are men by God and boats aye are bonny When Venus arrived in Savannah in May 1966 she was as bonny as they come Her planking larch and elm wood salvaged from wrecked fishing boats along the jagged coast of the Shetlands Foula Island where no decent boatbuilding timber can be grown Bwas painted a rich creamy white and she danced her way past the Texas Tower powered by some 235 square feet of billowing sails At the time of her arrival here Venus had been owned by Paul E Johnson of Southampton England for more than six years It was he who had converted her from an open squaresailrigged fouroared mail boat to a long distance sailor by adding decking a cabin lead for ballast and a gaff ketch rig which he could handle alone And handle he did Johnson sailed the Venus to all the points of the compass during their sojourn together They visited Norway Sweden Denmark Germany Holland Belgium France and England on one voyage Then on to Ireland Spain Portugal and Madeira on another Coastal weather took its toll on Venus during her stay at Fort Jackson She is shown above just prior to crating for shipment to Great Britain 44 Anchor Age In 1963 Johnson took the Venus from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean Island of Martinique in just 39 days to set what was then a record for a boat of less than 20 feet skippered singlehandedly In June 1966 ready to return to England after an extended tour through the islands to the West Indies Bahamas and Florida Johnson left Fort Lauderdale only to encounter the first hurricane of the season that sent him into Bermuda for minor repairs More hurricanes developed and Johnson remained in Bermuda until November then abandoned his plan for a nonstop sail to England and returned to America instead After six years aboard the Venus Johnson while not ready to give up the life of a deepwater sailor was ready to move up to a larger vessel When the opportunity came to sell Venus to Mills B Lane owner of the Ships of the Sea Museum in Savannah Johnson took it Venus was hauled from her native element and put on display on the riverfront lawn of the museum but during the renovation of that area in 1973 that space was paved over for parking With no storage available inside the museum large enough to accommodate the Venus Lane turned the boat over to Fort Jackson then a stateowned maritime museum where it rested in an unsheltered wooden cradle taking the brunt of wind and rain if not wave Shetland Island boats however are built to weather the elements some of the roughest in the world and Venus was built to the specs of her homeland Her design originated with the Vikings who 1000 years ago carried their small lap strake fourareens as dinghys aboard their Longships or Viking ships on their forays into the Shetland Isles On Venus like others of her kind The original builders used a mixture of Shetland pony hair and tar between the boards as caulking Johnson said in an interview when he sold the boat This keeps it flexible and prevents water from coming in It also apparently foiled some of Georgias A protruding bow hints at the cargo inside as the Venus awaits loading at Ocean Terminal in Savannah The MV Troll Viking representing Open Bulk Carriers provided ocean transport For her last Atlantic crossing the Venus hitched a ride nestled among the Troll Vikings cargo of forest products more relentless borers and other destroyers termites carpenter ants and plain rot enough so that the hull has maintained its integrity and there is hope the Venus can be fully restored said Rusty Fleetwood the Coastal Heritage Society Board Member instrumental in arranging Venus return to Scotland Once she arrives in Great Britain Venus is scheduled for extensive restoration work after which shell be sent on to her final resting place at the Scottish Maritime Museum in Irvine Scotland Fleetwood said We cradled it up preparatory to shipping he added and half of those expenses will be paid by the West of Scotland Boat Museum Association Fleetwood credited a number of local firms agencies and individuals which thought the Venus was a piece of history worth saving despite the expense and effort involved in both transport and restoration The Venus is hoisted aboard the MV Troll Viking for her trip home Shipping the Venus was made possible through the combined efforts of the Coastal Heritage Society Denholm Shipping Company Joseph VanPuffelen of Savannah Maritime Services Strachan Shipping the Georgia Ports Authority and other maritime interests Fleetwood said And when the Venus sails there will be a small book of border country Geordie verse a Claggum Claris Boody written by maritime poet and Geordie expatriate Yon Swanson now of Tybee Island tucked away in her cabin Written in the dialect of the ScotlandEngland border the beuk is apt cargo for the Scottish vessel as it is a wee bit of the old country via Savannah as is the Venus herself G November December 1982 45 A central part of Georgia Ports Authoritys master terminal development plan involves consolidation of Savannah breakbulk operations at Ocean Terminal This ambitious 67 million plus investment will ultimately permit rededication of outmoded breakbulk facilities at Garden City Terminal to container operations The overall goal is to achieve the utmost in centralized inventory and control equipment deployment and manpower utilization Work has begun on two of the major projects comprising the overall Ocean Terminal renovation The first involves the conversion of slip one to a two berth 800000 square foot transit shed complex The unused slip will be dammed drained and paved over to provide space for 1100 feet of berthing with 200 foot margins plus the covered storage area The configuration of the berths will permit them to be served by four of Ocean Terminals Warehouses 3 and 4 at Ocean Terminal will be located between units 1 and 2 Site preparation for the third building is underway and the schedule for number 4 may have to be moved up to meet burgeoning demand OCEAN TERMINAL STATUS REPORT NovemberDecember 1982 gantry cranes ranging to 175 tons in individual capacity The first phase of the slip I project involved the demolition of existing transit space back to the point where the dam across the slip will be constructed The old decking will now be stripped back to permit construction of the foundation for the margins When this work is complete a new dock facing will be installed and the berth will be available for use in early 1984 The remainder of the project involves superficial repairs to the newer transit shed adjacent to slip 2 and contruction of an adjacent shed over the existing track well Next older transit spaces will be demolished and a new building will be erected from the track well across the site of the old slip to the edge of the new berth The construction timetable is designed to keep a sizable chunk of old or new transit space operational at all times to eliminate undue impact on daytoday operations The complete facility will be ready in 1985 Site preparation has begun for construction of a third 200000 square foot warehouse at Ocean Terminal Preconsolidation of surcharge material is underway to compact the site to make it suitable for construction Given adequate time for settling this method is more economical than mucking out or construction on piles and produces a more uniform base Warehouse 3 will be available by mid1984 Plans also call for the construction of a fourth warehouse by 1985 However emerging operational requirements may push the schedule forward so that it will be built simultaneously with 3 It will also be a 200000 square foot structure providing Ocean Terminal with 13 million square feet of modern high cube warehousing to back up the over 11 million square feet of transit space Other improvements at Ocean Terminal will include relocation and expansion of several existing transit sheds paving of 50 acres of open storage and provision of additional lighting Development of the recently acquired 100 acres of land adjacent to the terminal will also begin in the near future During the intermodal era many ports growth in container volume has come at the expense of breakbulk tonnages In Savannah breakbulk numbers have actually risen since our entry into the container business This phenomenon is due primarily to three factors First many of the breakbulks traversing Savannahs docks do not lend themselves to containerization steel machinery forest products etc Secondly Savannahs reputation for breakbulk handling is unexcelled Finally the Port of Savannah has always responded to changing trade demands with the finest in facilities and equipment The Ocean Terminal improvements reflect what our marketing analyses say about the future of the breakbulk business in Savannah and they continue our tradition of timely effective response W Aerial shot shows that transit shed demolition back to the dike line is complete The shed adjacent to slip 2 A will receive superficial repairs including new siding and access doors The old track well B will be covered with an additional shed The final addition to the transit shed C will stretch from the track well across the old slip to the eastern edge of the complex 1 44 1 mm ARIEL MARITIME GROUP INC Representing
