PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
A great deal of the success experienced by the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick in the last decade can be traced to the development of the city of Atlanta Atlantas rise to prominence both on the domestic and international scenes has had a predictable and desirable effect on those ports best equipped and located to serve it
The transportation profile of Georgias capitol city is one of both area consumer demand and distribution The population base of the Atlanta metropolitan area has leapt to two million creating a tremendous market for consumer products In addition the industries that employ these workers are themselves tremendous consumers of raw and semimanufactured goods
Cargo flows for the region are by no means unidirectional Light manufacturing and high technology in particular are two industry groups contributing to the surge of exports emanating from Atlanta and the surrounding area
While local freight activity certainly accounts for significant cargo volumes for the city of Atlanta the larger portion revolves around the citys popularity as a distribution center Virtually every major corporation centers its distribution activities for the Southeast or in many cases the entire South in Atlanta
An explanation for the phenomenon takes the form of a simple listing of the amenities afforded by the city Transportation availability is certainly the key consideration for the logistician and Atlanta provides
varied competitive service for every mode
The recently merged Norfolk Southern and CSX railroads provide single line coverage for the entire eastern half of the country
Hartsfield International Airport offers unrivalled facilities for expediting the movement of goods and the people who market them Common and specialty motor carriers exceed three hundred in number and access the city by any one of three interstates Finally Savannah Brunswick and barge terminals at Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus virtually bring the Atlantic and inland waterways to Atlantas doors
Another important ingredient in Atlantas rise to prominence has been the probusiness posture of city county and state governments Their interest takes the form of efforts to attract industry publicity campaigns improvements to transportation systems convention solicitation tourism development trade missions and overseas marketing efforts designed to attract foreign business to the city
International banks insurance firms foreign consuls an active and growing maritime transportation community all suggest exactly what Atlanta has become a truly international city In terms of name recognition alone Atlanta has made a quantum leap in the last few years The continued influx of business and population from around the globe will only enhance what is already a lofty stature
We in Savannah can provide clear evidence of the trend A quick review of cargo patterns over the last ten years reveals a striking increase in cargoes from to and through
Atlanta Our facility development marketing and service strategies certainly weigh heavily the wants and needs of the Atlanta shipper receiver community and the inland carriers that serve them
It is no accident that there are many parallels between the development of Savannah and Atlanta The location for each was initially selected for its suitability for transportation purposes Each began its growth as a service center for the southern rim of the United States Both have benefited greatly from the latter day economic revolution in the South Atlanta and Savannah both offer a highly competitive combination of advantages for the business site seeker including climate land availability a solid work ethic and a sophisticated transportation infrastructure Finally each has assumed a position of prominence that extends beyond our shores to the international arena
The role of Georgias ports in relation to the city of Atlanta is this we must provide a cost and service competitive option for ocean transportation to serve Atlantas many current business citizens and to help attract even more In this era when industrialbusiness solicitation has become a highly sophisticated game our port facilities can become a most valuable trump card in the hand of the people who sell Atlanta the Hub

A Little History Its a safe bet that any town which begins its existence named for its importance to a rail line is destined for a central role in its regional transportation scheme Atlanta has not disappointed its founders
Shortly after 1830 Georgias transportation pioneers realized that the future of the northwest quadrant of the state would be well served with the establishment of a rail link with the Midwest The state therefore undertook the task of constructing the Western and Atlantic Railroad which was to run from the Chattahoochee River to Chattanooga Stephen Long chief engineer for the new line observed in 1836 The terminus would be a good location for one tavern a blacksmith shop a grocery store and nothing else In a fit of creativity the village which sprung up at the Georgia end of the line was dubbed Terminus

For a brief period the settlement bore the name Marthasville for the daughter of then Governor Wilson Lumpkin But as this railroad town surged past Mr Longs early predictions for its scope it became obvious that a name more befitting its status as an emerging transportation center was in order
The name Atlanta may also have its roots in the railroads It is believed to be a feminization of the word Atlantic from the Western and Atlantic Railroad In any case it became the name of this emerging city in 1845
The railroads earliest attraction to Atlanta was a simple matter of geography Cost factors coupled with the engineering capabilities of the day dictated routing for the major lines Dillon Winship Jr of Transus explains The railroads had to get below the mountains before they could make the turn In short Atlanta can thank the Appalachians for the initial attention it received from the railroads
Obviously the railroads were the catalyst which launched Atlanta on the remarkable developmental era which carries through the present Harold Hall of Norfolk Southern notes In discussing Atlantas growth as a transportation center I think you have to go back to the citys very beginning Indeed Atlanta was established as a railroad town and it was almost inevitable that it would grow into a hub of commerce which of course relies totally on good transportation

Profiling The Hub
By any standard Atlanta qualifies as a major transportation center Examination reveals a variety of reasons for the success the city has enjoyed
The population of the city has reached 415000 with another 1850000 living in the immediate surrounding area Obviously this many people automatically generate a tremendous amount of freight traffic for local consumption
This population increase can be traced to the citys growing popularity as a location for business and industry The attractions are many Many sources cite a favorable business climate as their reason for being in Atlanta Seaboard Systems Richard Sanborn observes The city and county governments in Atlanta are anxious to encourage business to come to their city They dont put obstacles in the path of business The overall feeling they convey is that business is important to Atlanta
Qualified eager workers are another big plus for the city Nat Welch of the Georgia Freight Bureau points to no restrictive labor practices as a major advantage Describing the workforce Harold Hall calls them a supply of reliable people to maintain operations
The overall quality of life in the city is unrivalled Social cultural and recreational amenities abound The temperate climate not only facilitates transportation and outdoor activity but helps keep plant heating costs down Ample land is available in any direction from center city an important consideration for site seekers
Support systems for business are also in place Nat Welch says We have a well developed infrastructure in terms of banking transportation warehousing insurance etc Carol Martel of the citys Chamber of Commerce details an important enticement for the many high tech industries setting up shop in Atlanta We possess a number of excellent educational institutions for advanced research and support as well as training of current and prospective employees she states
Unlike many traditional distribution centers Atlantas circle of influence includes no major bodies of water or expansive areas of low population density

The strength of the attraction is best displayed by a brief list of those who have recently succumbed to it They include Georgia Pacific IBMs General Systems Division Simmons MacMillian Bloedel SiemensAllis Amoco Container Company the Borden Snack Group and Continental Telephone
The equation is simple Businessindustry more population more production consumption more demand for diversified transportation A thriving metropolis like Atlanta can only breed a thriving transportation industry
Stretching Out HHHHB SHHHHH i H1 i 11
While Atlanta freight is certainly vitally important to the citys transportation enterprises it comprises only a small portion of their overall activity Dillon Winship explains for its size Atlanta is not a great freight generating town its a facilitating town a swapping point Its an interchange convenience center and distribution point for manufactured goods
The key word in Winships description is distribution Atlanta is the headquarters for a large number of distribution operations Cargoes flow through Atlanta to and from every state in the union but its primary distribution hinterland encompasses the deep South Georgia and the immediately surrounding states says Norfolk Southerns Harold Hall The commonly accepted definition of Atlantas sphere of influence for distribution includes the states of Georgia Tennessee Mississippi Alabama Florida and the Carolinas In 1983 this represented a population base of nearly 40 million people
The southeast as a whole is experiencing many of the same trends as the city of Atlanta industrialization population migration from the North and Midwest and infrastructure development As the throughpoint for freight consigned to or produced by these burgeoning regions Atlanta has seen a dramatic rise in transportation related activity far beyond anything generated by the city itself
A large segment of the goods flowing through Atlanta fall into the category of general merchandise These medium and high value commodities lend themselves to containerization For this reason Atlanta has been in the forefront of the intermodal
Atlantas World Congress Center regularly attracts major conventions and expositions often the international businessmans first taste of Atlantastyle dynamism
revolution as reflected by the relatively young age of the equipment and facilities which predominate in the city
Carol Martel discusses a geographic fact of life which furthers Atlantas status as a leading distribution center The circle around Atlanta its sphere of influence unlike most other distribution points covers only land and encompasses a number of major and developing urban centers Charlotte Orlando RaleighDurham Birmingham Knoxville GreenvilleSpartanburg Savannah Jacksonville Many of the other distribution centers have large amounts of water or low density population areas in their hinterland circle
Atlantas rise to prominence on the international scene a carefully engineered program has aided the citys business solicitors in their quest to bring new firms to the city Carol Martel characterizes Mayor Andrew Young as an internationalist She adds Internationalism has become a major part of Atlantas new identity Mayor Young has actively supported our efforts in the areas of export development international air routes and company locations
Atlanta is one of the few locales where three interstate highways intersect a definite advantage for any city with aspirations as a distribution center

THE HUB
All Roads Lead
By definition transportation is both the attraction and expediter for operators of distribution centers An examination of the four basic carrier groups reveals that Atlanta fills the bill for each admirably
The number one reason for industry locating in Atlanta is Hartsfield This is the importance Nat Welch attaches to the citys bustling international airport Carol Martel reports an influx of mediumsized European firms seeking to locate or even headquarter in America Atlanta has been quite successful in attracting these companies and the airport is a prime reason The big plus for Atlanta is the ability of such businesses to move their personnel in and out for sales and service calls visits to remote plants and administrative functions across the entire country Atlanta has become a highly competitive entry point for these types of businesses particularly among the Europeans for whom the US east coast has been a traditional gateway
Hartsfield fulfills its promise to new business by offering the most sophisticated air facility in the world One hundred thirtyeight passenger gates accommodate the 1700 plus international and domestic flights which traverse the facility daily The 374000 tons of cargo that moved through the airport in 1982 made it the seventh busiest handler in the world Eastern and Delta Airlines are attempting to push Hartsfield up in the rankings with their recent openings of the two
The Norfolk Southern and Seaboard System Railroads provide competitive single line service between Atlanta and the entire eastern half of the country
AnchorAge
largest most modem single carrier cargo facilities in the world Goods which rank high on Hartsfields diverse and growing commodity list include auto parts cut flowers textiles and textile machinery perishable fruits and vegetables dressed poultry hatching eggs and electronic equipment
For the geographic reasons outlined earlier Atlanta remains the nucleus of concerted rail activity by its two major carriers Norfolk Southern operates its busiest facility the Inman Yard in Atlanta with an adjacent intermodal yard Other physical facilities include satellite yards serving automobile plants and general industry shop and maintenance facilities and a railwelding plant which serves the entire NS system
Harold Hall President of Norfolk Southern describes Atlantas place in his firms activities In terms of Atlantas importance in our overall operation one must only look at our system map to note the strategic location of Atlanta at the intersection of what we call our big X the important main lines which run from Cincinnati to Jacksonville and from Washington DC to New Orleans Atlanta of course ranks in the very top range of the major urban centers which we serve and for this reason a substantial percentage of our operations activity on our Southern Railway subsidiary is handled through or in Atlanta Atlanta serves as the hub not only for a major portion of our through freight traffic but as a distribution center for traffic moving to a wide geographic area of the Southeast
Atlantas hinterland is characterized by highdensity population areas particularly in the highgrowth emerging urban centers prevalent in the New South
Seaboard Systems capital commitment to Atlanta is equally impressive The Tilford Terminal a TOFC Trailer or Flatcar facility is a major classification and hump yard which is the scene of the classifying of some 1700 cars daily The line also operates the Howells yard in Atlanta
Seaboard System and Atlanta mean a great deal to each other President Sanborn explains From a TOFC standpoint it is one of the hubs of our operation We use our classification yard to break up and build trains coming from and leaving in every direction
Were the only rail carrier serving the Fulton County industrial park and this represents a big slice of our Atlanta activity On the whole Atlanta is one of our largest markets especially in merchandise traffic both for local consumption and distribution businesses Norfolk Southern and the Seaboard System can offer shippers in Atlanta and its distribution hinterland a combined 110 trains daily fanning out in sixteen different directions The recent mergers which have extended the singleline influence of these two newly formed rail giants have increased the desirability of Atlanta as a site location and transportation throughpoint Richard Sanborn explains We are now able to offer more attractive service to the Northeast and the Midwest than we have in the past Harold Hall agrees The effects of the Norfolk Southern consolidation have been nothing but favorable inasmuch as it has enabled us to open Atlanta to markets on our single system which were previously difficult to reach Excellent motor carrier service is one executives description of a major advantage of Atlanta the distribution center Surprisingly the comment came not from a motor carrier official but from Richard Sanborn of the Seaboard System This support reflects not only the spirit of coopration which characterizes the Atlanta transportation industry but the high proportion of piggyback
Atlantas awesome Hartsfield airport has been described as the single greatest attraction for business site seekers

All roads lead to Atlanta especially the ones built of steel rails
traffic common to the Atlanta market Atlanta is served by 72 regular route motor common carriers plus another 200 contract and specialized haulers
A quick look at any US highway map reveals that planners of the interstate network were well aware of Atlantas freight and general traffic patterns It is one of the few cities in the country where three interstates I20175 and 185 intersect In addition a 64 mile beltway circles the city providing easy access to all areas
Proximity to the Port of Savannah is important not only to Atlanta but for the whole region according to Dillon Winship
Jr Nat Welch adds The low transit time from Savannah to Atlanta is critical It enhances Atlantas distribution picture
Rail and highway links between the port and Atlanta are well established Savannah offers a full range of facilities to handle virtually every conceivable type of cargo from containers to RoRo from breakbulk to bulk Further to the south Brunswick provides a throughput option for shippers of dry and breakbulk goods For commodities which lend themselves to delivery by barge river terminals at Augusta Bainbridge and Columbus are situated in the heart of the Atlanta distribution belt
One aspect of Atlantas leadership as the southern transportation center which merits discussion is the cooperation among the various modes Intermodalism has catalyzed the new spirit of cooperation Seaboards Sanborn observes Some of our biggest TOFC customers in Atlanta are the motor carriers We also work very closely with the ocean carriers particularly for containerized traffic
Shippers are consistently demanding centralized accountability across modal lines in the movement of their goods Therefore the carrier of the future may find itself stretching outside of traditional areas of operation This diversification has much to do with the expanding dialogue among carriers on the Atlanta scene

Harold Hall of Norfolk Southern explains Our philosophy is that the day is fast approaching and to a large extent is already here in which total transportation companies will need to offer shippers the most efficient and economic freight transportation service available even if this means moving the freight over a combination of several modes Thus it behooves Norfolk Southern to maintain a healthy working relationship with other modes and to be concerned with the welfare of the entire freight transportation system and not just our own
Down The Road The Rail The Runway The River i mmmmm msmimmmm i
Only positive predictions are forthcoming from those in the know concerning economic and transportation issues Growth breeds growth explains Richard Sanborn discussing Atlanta in the future He predicts solid if unspectacular growth for the city in particular and the southern rim in general
Attracting new business to Atlanta and its freight environs will be a key if the city is to continue to prosper Carol Martel notes that the potential for bringing foreign manufacturing operations onshore is increasing but cautions that industrial developers in other areas of the country are just as interested Well see an increased
number of US facilities for Taiwanese and Koreanbased firms in the southeast particularly in the areas of consumer electronics and some industrial products However the other southeastern states are more competitive than theyve ever been We were first out of the starting gate with international business Now we have to think longer term think more strategically and target better
If Atlanta is to grow its transportation network must grow with it On the highway front a 15 billion improvement program to expand the citys expressway system is 60 complete Work on the sophisticated MARTA train system continues with several completed legs already providing rapid passenger transport in and around the city
The Seaboard System will renovate its old Hulsey Yard to add an ultramodern TOFC facility to the citys lineup of rail amenities The 20 million terminal will be situated only two miles east of the state capitol and will be operational by years end Hulsey Yards close proximity to Interstate highway 20 will facilitate pickup and delivery of the 500 trucks expected to enter the yard daily when activity peaks
Atlanta has never suffered for lack of vision and ambition and a recent announcement shows that the citys transportation hierarchy shares this aggressiveness City county and state officials joined hands with the transportation community to publicize their
adoption of the goal of making Atlanta the Piggyback Center of the Nation by 1990
Currently Chicago with its massive industrial base is the acknowledged leader of the piggyback pack Nonetheless there is considerable opinion that the stated goal is more than just a slogan Nat Welch describes the objective as ambitious but obtainable Richard Sanborn concurs I think its a real possibility Take the fact that its a major hub for the two railroads take the growth in Atlanta and the surrounding area as contrasted to the decline in some of the traditional freight centers and I think you are looking at an achievable goal
Atlantas concentration of medium to high priced goods in transit and the high ratio of consumer merchandise to total freight dictate a sizable volume of container freight This fact alone will contribute mightily to attainment of the objective Piggyback is the leading growth sector in the railroad industry and Atlanta will certainly gamer a disproportionate share of that new traffic In summary the continued growth of Atlanta and the Southeast as a whole should produce consumption distribution dynamics which will make the rise to number one among piggyback handlers an inexorable process
Transus is one example of the many transportation firms which serve Atlanta and its distribution hinterland

It is significant that Atlanta will be the site of the 1984 National Intermodal Forum and Piggyback Exposition Very few cities could presume to host such an event and the lineup of speakers and early registrations clearly indicates that transportation and shipping leaders agree that the location is a fitting one The seminar will take place on April 10 and 11 at Atlantas World Congress Center itself a tribute to the important contribution of international business to Atlantas economic prosperity
Quality of life social recreational educational and cultural is a major attraction for new business and industry considering locating in Atlanta

The construction of a third runway at Hartsfield currently underway will further facilitate movement of aircraft at the worlds largest airport The Chamber of Commerce is doing its part to assure that a goodly portion of any new airline service will be of the international variety Carol Martel reports
we are taking a front line stand in developing Atlantas international air service particularly to Canada and Latin America Were also working toward connections to Scandinavia and Switzerland as well as lobbying for local carrier interest in reciprocal agreements Atlantas future prospects will also receive a boost from improvements to its natural deepwater and river gateways In the next five years Georgia Ports Authority alone will spend some 150 million to enhance its facilities Projects included are berth 5 at CONTAINERPORT and the slip one breakbulk facility and two 200000 square foot warehouses at Ocean Terminal In Brunswick bulk storage warehouse III is nearing completion The Mayors Point breakbulk complex will be on stream next year with the Colonels Island dry bulk plant to follow soon after Along the TriRivers system the rock relocation project has guaranteed continuous availability of a nine foot channel to the Bainbridge and Columbus barge terminals
Atlanta has been variously described as the next great city of North America the Montreal of the 80s and the center of the New South From a transportation point of view it certainly meets all of the requirements to warrant such lofty appraisals And this sophisticated transportation network becomes the basis for the citys ability to succeed on many other business fronts including manufacturing distribution banking warehousing tourism conventions high tech industry and a variety of service and support industries

First Time Movement for Bainbridge Barge Terminal
The rock relocation in the ApalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint waterway system is producing the predicted effect in terms of activity at Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge terminal Recently a barge unloaded 1514 tons of ammonium sulfate at the facility marking the first movement for the account of Allied Fibers and Plastics of Morristown New Jersey
The cargo was consigned to Tide Products of Doerun Georgia Beavers Dump Truck Service of Live Oak Florida handled the overland transportation to Doerun They provided eighteen semitrailer dump beds on a turnaround basis to accomplish the movement A mobile crane equipped with a clamshell bucket was utilized to handle the ammonium sulfate between the barges and the waiting trucks
Prior to the rock relocation an unreliable channel had prevented utilization of the Bainbridge Terminal to its full potential Corps of Engineers officials are confident that the recent completion of the project will guarantee full channel availability over 95 of the time
The barge which carried the sulfate to Bainbridge was loaded to a full nine foot draught The captain of the towboat which pushed the unit from the Gulf of Mexico up to Bainbridge reported clear sailing for the entire trip
The smoothness of the overall movement from the river trip through dockside transfer to ultimate truck delivery was certainly exactly what both shipper and consignee had in mind In fact Allied Fibers and Plastics has expressed interest in handling other fertilizer materials across the facility in the future
And they are not the only ones expressing an interest in the revitalized ACF network A veritable stream of inquiries has been forth
Pulling back the top on Allied Fibers and Plastics ammonium sulfate The shippers satisfaction with their first move across the Bainbridge barge terminal may lead to further shipments of fertilizer products through the facility
Mobile crane unloads ammonium sulfate from barge for transfer to truck for delivery from Bainbridge to Doerun Georgia
coming from a wide array of shippersreceivers of dry liquid and breakbulk cargoes The strategic location of Bainbridge as well as GPAs other TriRivers terminal at Columbus places them at the center of a bustling growing agricultural and industrial region The relatively low unit costs afforded by barge transport have always been of interest to transportation shoppers This first movement of ammonium sulfate across the Bainbridge docks indicates that clearing of the ACF will make this river port an increasingly popular option

MISR is the Arabic word for Egypt It is also the name of a new addition to Savannahs sailing schedule Not surprisingly the new monthly service will connect Savannah with the Egyptian ports of Alexandria and Port Said The line is also interested in other inducement calls in North Africa according to Paul Cook local manager of Tilston Roberts who are serving as General Agents for the carrier
The service was inaugurated by the MV Sainte Alexandrine The Greek flag vessel is under charter to the line Ultimately MISR will place RoRocontainer combination vessels in its service to the US Utilizing these multipurpose ships the line is endeavoring to attract a full range of cargoes including rolling stock equipment containerized goods and breakbulk The Sainte Alexandrine showed solid export bookings on her first visit loading some 6300 tons of kraft linerboard one of Savannahs export staples
Cook indicates that MISR is a joint venture between the Egyptian government and private business interests The carrier hopes to utilize its government connection to gamer a share of flag preference cargo moving between the US and Egypt By offering multicargo capability MISR also hopes to attract some of the project cargo moving in conjunction with the major city construction projects underway in the vicinity of Cairo These ambitious building programs should be the source of significant cargo volumes for some time to come
MISR was attracted to Savannah by the availability of large consignments of linerboard As they introduce their multipurpose vessels into their new service they will become better able to draw additional bookings from the wide array of container and RoRo cargoes emanating from Savannahs prosperous hinterland
The MV Sainte Alexandrine launched MISRs monthly service between Savannah and EgyptNorth Africa

Gone Fishing
Had it not been for the Maersk ship we would have been goners We had some drinking water but were too busy bailing seawater from our boat to drink we could not have lasted much longer That was the translation from Spanish of Pedro Almanzas remarks describing the events leading up to a timely rescue from the Atlantic Ocean
For the record two 36 year old Miamians Pedro Almanza and Antonio de Armas were plucked from eleven foot seas after four days on the open water Engine trouble on a Friday day off fishing trip in the ocean off Miami triggered the harrowing experience
Pedro Almanza left and Antonio de Armas right can speak with authority as to the seaworthiness of their 21 foot boat Goldenrod After four days at sea without power they were plucked from the Atlantic by the MV Christian Maersk background for delivery to terra firma in Savannah
Were in the process of acquiring the GSA warehouse thats on our facility The GSA facility will back up our breakbulk operations and provide space for our container customers coming into the port he added
Federal funding for the Talmadge Bridge project has been discussed with Governor Joe Frank Harris and the Governor was optimistic about accessing of the funds Nichols reported This port will not grow without replacement of the Talmadge Bridge stated Nichols
Discussing the Brunswick scene Nichols pointed out that there are facilities in place there that cannot be found elsewhere on the east coast Detailing GPAs construction of a dry bulk facility in the port he stated There is more bulk cargo available for movement both import and export than the facilities on the east coast in the US can handle
Nichols concluded by predicting a future that looks good He observed that the entire southern region is export oriented and that exports will begin to rise as we get into the latter part of the year We need that balance of exports for the steamship lines to be healthy and also attracted to this part of the US said Nichols
His remarks concluded with projections of continued growth founded in the service and facility improvements made over the past few years
STATE OF THE

For Four Days
1983 was an encouraging year it set the pattern and base for 1984 stated George J Nichols Executive Director of the Georgia Ports Authority in his annual State of the Port address to Savannahs Propeller Club
Nichols predicted that when figures come in for the total port there will be an increase over 1982 He pointed to a 35 increase in container tonnage in 1983 over 1982 adding encouragingly breakbulk cargo came back substantially
In this first half of our fiscal year were on target with all of our projections Nichols reported Three million tons of cargo has moved across GPA facilities At this point over a million tons of container traffic and over a million tons of breakbulk cargo has traversed this port According to Nichols bulk liquids are still down due to the softness of the import oil market
The decision to go full container at Garden City and turn Ocean Terminal into GPAs breakbulk terminal for Savannah was discussed The fact that there is still a large
breakbulk base of cargo to be containerized in Savannah puts this port in a good position in the future as far as competition with its sister ports to the north and south stated Nichols
Nichols highlighted substantial increases in the number of scheduled steamship visits to the port during the year He reported that 22 new or expanded services came on stream in 1983
Nichols pointed out that as the economy continues on the upturn there will still remain a shortage of warehouse space within the Chatham County area related to port activity
Almanza himself a stevedore for Johnson Shipping Company explained that the two men encountered mechanical difficulties on their inboardoutboard twenty foot open

De Armas said that the situation had become desperate We burned all our clothes even our shoes as a signal We thought we were finished but our prayers were answered The ships captain and crew were very very nice and so were the people here in Savannah We are very grateful to them for being alive The rescue of stevedore Pedro Almanza by Captain Niels Clausen of the MV Christian Maersk proves that the shipping community does in fact work as a team and stick together
The men were in good health upon arrival in Savannah and said that they were anxious to see their relatives Lets hope that the landside trip down the coast proved to be more enjoyable than the trip up

Ocean Terminal Adds Storaae
The growing pains at the Georgia Ports Authoritys breakbulk hub are being eased again An addition to the open storage space at Ocean Terminal has been completed bringing the total paved space at the complex up to 43 acres The new five acre tract is the first phase of the GPAs additional open storage pavement plans at the facility
The new marshalling area is only 100 feet from slip 2 berthing and is adjacent to Ocean Terminals other large open storage areas The addition is also adjacent to the GPAs gantry crane track loop which allows four cranes to circuit the seven existing berths
The phase I plot was originally used by the Central of Georgia Railroad Company as a switching yard However relocation of switching on terminal grounds permitted removal of the tracks to allow for continued utilization of the land
Construction continues on the Slip I project which will produce a 1000 foot berth parallel to the river with 200 foot margins This will bring to eight the total number of berths accessed by the four crane fleet ranging to 175 tons in individual capacity A fifth crane is in place at berths 1 and 2 GPAs specialty forest products handling complex Considerable additional transit space will also be provided at the new berth site all within yards of the open storage space
The near onehalf million dollar paving project will allow for additional storage of lumber project cargoes and rolling stock Plans for additional tracts beyond phase I are on the drawing boards as actual Ocean Terminal breakbulk tonnages continue to keep pace with the one million ton figure projected for fiscal year 84
This five acre site is the newest addition to the already considerable open storage reserves at Ocean Terminal

NSCSA Looking Good
Those big beautiful green ships are emerging on the horizon again The National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia recently christened two more new RoRo vessels which have been added to their AtlanticGulf Coast service calling the Middle and Far East The new MV Saudi Tabuks recent visit to the GPAs CONTAINERPORT facility came while the paint on her green and gold trimmed hull was still damp The nearly identical MV Saudi Hofuf is scheduled to follow in the very near future
A year ago NSCSA announced the expansion of their service to Savannah with the deployment of four jumbo RoRos the MVs Saudi Riyadh Saudi Makkah Saudi Diriyah and Saudi Abha The addition of the MV Saudi Tabuk will keep the sailing schedule constant at twentyone days between visits
All the vessels will continue to run the split service figure eight rotation to cover the two regions The foreign itinerary takes the ships first to Jeddah with inducement calls to Yanbu then on to Dubai Dammam Jubail and Ras AlMishaab Traveling to the Far East the vessels will dock in Pusan Korea Kobe Nagoya and Yokohama Japan and Keelung Taiwan
The Tabuk is identical in size to the Abha measuring 38500 deadweight tons It has a capacity in excess of 2000 TEUs with a cargo deck comprising two million cubic feet The Tabuk has an overall length of 824 feet and a beam of 106 feet with the equivalent of 6 kilometers of roads on board The ship has
stateoftheart navigation and communication systems is designed with a service speed of 195 knots and is equipped with fore and aft thrusters to facilitate maneuvering
The huge stem ramp has a 400 ton loading capacity and is wide enough to readily handle twoway traffic The hoistable car decks can accommodate 450 automobiles These amenities are of particular importance in the Middle East trades since that nations imports include large numbers of vehicles buses cranes earthmoving equipment and other rolling stock
With NSCSA concentrating on Savannah in the South Atlantic bookings for the RoRo vessels have been solid A representative at Southern Steamship local agents for the line said that the service is doing fine bookings have been very steady Large consignments of linerboard Middle East and granite Far East have become standard listings on the NSCSA manifests
Given the vigor and scope of Middle Eastern economics NSCSA should become more and more prevalent in the world markets The ongoing cooperative spirit between the Georgia Ports Authority and the National Shipping Company of Saudi Arabia will most assuredly continue as both are committed to offering competitive progressive services to the shipping community
Welcoming committee awaits NSCSAs Saudi Tabuk as she makes her first visit to CONTAINERPORT Savannah

The new full container service was inaugurated by the MV Heinrich S SCOTT utilizes two vessels in the run providing calls to the US ports on the rotation every twelve days
The southern destination for SCOTTs new service is Trinidad By opting for Point Lisas rather than the customary Port of Spain call the line avoids severe congestion problems including threeweek waits and surcharges of up to 300 Point Lisas is located twenty miles from Port of Spain
The two vessels in the service the Heinrich S and the Petra are designed to be selfsustaining for container loading and unloading They weigh in at 1592 GRT apiece and can carry up to 250 TEUs Each is equipped with two 25 ton capacity cranes which can be married for 50 ton tandem lifts according to Heinlein
Refrigerated cargoes are an integral part of the trade flowing between the Islands of the Atlantic and the US SCOTT has deployed vessels well configured to handle these temperature sensitive goods Both the Heinrich S and the Petra can accept up to
Cargo availability has dictated a Savannah call for the Shipping Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago Forest products that were being trucked from Savannah to other ports can now be loaded here according to Ed Heinlein of Norton Lilly local agents for the line
thirty refrigerated boxes for each voyage
Georgia Ports Authoritys recently expanded cold storage facility provides the landside marshalling space for shippers receivers of such cargoes Less than trailerload lots can be assembled in the 68000 square foot structure for subsequent stuffing into containers Likewise stripping of inbound boxes for over the road shipment to the ultimate destination can be accomplished One
hundred eightytwo slots for reefer containers located nearby in the storage yard complete the handling picture for refrigerated containerized commodities
Bookings for the first vessel indicate that response to the Shipping Corporation of Trinidad and Tobagos new service has been most positive Heinlein believes a marketing strategy designed to make the shipping public aware of SCOTTs new Savannah alternative will perpetuate the success of the call He says With the volume of shipments originating locally we hope to be able to get people thinking Savannah
With the rising cost of inland transportation shippers are showing increasing interest in funneling islandbound shipments through ports closer to their production sources SCOTT has recognized the trend and is offering Savannah service as a logical supplement to its other operations
The MV Heinrich will be one of two vessels providing service every twelve days between Savannah and Point Lisas Trinidad

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
The key to success in any business is sensitivity to the requirements of the intended market place Such requirements include obvious considerations of cost and specifications In the international arena aesthetics metric dimensioning cultural considerations and ease of delivery must certainly be added to the list The successful manufacturer must initially make himself aware of the nature of the market and secondly take steps to stay abreast of the changes in it
Nowhere is this awareness of the business terrain more evident than in Georgias carpet industry It is no accident that over twothirds of the United States and a quarter of the worlds carpet and rugs are produced in Georgia The tremendous demand which the stated mills labor to meet is the result of a comprehensive sales effort which has given Georgia carpets a worldwide reputation for quality
Technical capability is certainly a key ingredient in the continued growth of the industry Georgias carpet makers have consistently developed leading edge technology which later becomes the worldwide standard They can turn out more carpet in greater variety and in a shorter period of time than anyone else Their ability to gear up to handle specialty orders is unrivalled
Shipping in the hundreds of millions of square yards of carpet annually the north Georgia production nucleus attracts a variety of satellite industries one of the most important of which is transportation The flow
is bidirectional Inbound yarn synthetic fiber adhesives jute backing tacks and machinery are a few of the commodities which keep the production humming Subsequently millions of square yards of finished coverings leave the state daily
This furious activity has bred a diverse motor carrier roster one broadened even further with the advent of deregulation The bustling Atlanta rail complex lies poised to link factories and consignees From the port point of view export carpets are among the greatest enticements to steamship lines Both containerized and breakbulk shipments regularly traverse Savannahs docks providing the base cargoes upon which many carriers have founded their scheduled services
A rockhard dollar global recession and political uncertanties notwithstanding exports have continued to occupy a prominent position in the overall marketing strategies of most of Georgias major carpet producers Figures for exports as a percentage of total sales generally run in the 66 range Competition from producers closer to certain foreign markets tends to center in the area of lower priced carpets For this reason foreign shipments from Georgia mills are often concentrated in the high end lines where quality design and durability receive at least as much consideration as price
Currently many of the traditional markets for Georgia carpet are depressed Fortunately the combination of a construction boom coupled with considerable financial
wherewithal have made the Middle East a regular volume buyer Considerable activity by nations in this part of the world have helped bolster export sales throughout the recessionary period
Noone is predicting any dramatic change in the U S trade deficit picture and carpet exports seem to follow the pattern closely Industry officials foresee only slight increases for the next year or two with accelerated growth a possibility in 1986 and beyond only if softening of the dollar and reduction of the budget deficit eventuate
The problem is a simple one The ability of prospective buyers to buy is currently at an ebb The return to more normal export shipment levels for carpet and rugs will be protracted When business picks up the worlds carpet producers will be called upon to gear up quickly and to provide innovations in design and production which will meet the resurgent demand There remains one certainty Leading the carpet industry in the quality and expediency of the response will be the Georgia carpet making community

OTHING COVERS HE WORLD LIKE GEORGIA CARPET
Annual sales for the first year of existence for the forerunner of Georgias carpet industry amounted to a staggering two dollars and fifty cents That was how much Catherine Evans charged for a handmade tufted bedspread in 1900 The significance of this event in the history of carpet production in Georgia requires a little explaining
As the popularity of her handiwork grew Miss Evans found it necessary to train a few of her neighbors in the tufting process which produced the finished chenille bedspreads Soon a thriving cottage industry flourished in and around Dalton Georgia
Increased demand led inexorably to mechanization which moved the fledgling industry from the home to the factory during the late 1920s and early 1930k 1940 was the critical year in our history It was then that the first wide tufting machines were developed By virtue of their increased size they were capable of handling base fabrics of greater width wide enough to serve as the foundation for tufted carpet In short Catherine Evans humble handtufted bedspread spawned the technology which permitted the development of the carpet production center of the world in northeast Georgia
SCOPE
Thirty percent of the carpet manufactured in the world is produced in the United States Seventy percent of that total originates in the State of Georgia Ronald E VanGelderen President of the Daltonbased Carpet and Rug Institute notes that until fairly recently the Georgia slice had been 65 He explains Georgias share has actually grown in the last few years because of the volume being generated by some of the progressive manufacturers
Dalton Georgia with its surrounding Whitfield County environs is acknowledged as the epicenter of the states carpet industry Abdullah Warrayat President of the exporting firm of Union International summarizes the importance of the industry to the city In Dalton carpet is everything On a given day nine out of ten of the business lunches in the city are carpetrelated Even the people who work at the other businesses also have another job in carpet production as well
Conservative estimates place Georgia carpet mill employment at 36000 The combined payroll for this workforce approaches 1 billion with a predictable impact on the sales activity of local merchants local and state tax revenues and the general quality of life in the Dalton area
These figures do not include employment and payrolls for the industries which supply the mills Robert Shaw President and Chief Executive Officer of Shaw Industries notes
Horizon Industries progressive ad campaigns reflect the emphasis on style and fashion that characterizes the marketing efforts of the Georgiabased carpet and rug manufacturers

There are numerous satellite industries which support carpet production in this area They include latex manufacturing producers of synthetic and secondary backings jute importers and manufacturers of paper wrapping and cores Ronald VanGelderen adds fiber suppliers spinners finishers and the bankingfinancial sector to the list Chemicals yams displays cutting tools sewing machines and tacks and tack strips are several other commodities required by the industry according to Charles H Van Rysselberge Executive Vice President of the DaltonWhitfield Chamber of Commerce
Utilization of these suppliers of raw materials and services varies from mill to mill Horizon Industries mill in nearby Calhoun Georgia is designed to be as selfcontained as possible Sidney Schwartz Vice President of Corporate Communications explains We operate a vertically integrated mill We perform functions inhouse ranging from spinning twisting and heat setting through dyeing shearing and finishing On the other hand many operators choose to utilize outside suppliers to complete certain of these steps thereby providing the basis for the diversified support industry found in the region
The presence of this service and support infrastructure is certainly one of the main attractions for mill builders Robert Shaw describes it as the availability of satellite industries which is particularly important if you dont have an integrated operation Shaw enumerates several other factors which have and continue to contribute to Daltons ascendancy as a U S carpet center The industry grew up here because the technology was developed in this area and this continues to be the trend Training programs have produced a work force skilled in carpet production Were a major utility user and we have our own utility department here which is far more sophisticated than in other towns of comparable size Climate location site availability and transportation are other factors which tip the scales in Daltons favor
SELLING THE GOODS
The best way to describe how Georgias goods are sold is to look at some of the people doing the selling The individual mills pursue active sales programs utilizing the customary avenues direct customer calls trade shows
AnchorAge
Quality carpet starts with quality raw fiber which is converted into yarn Spinning provides additional stability and further reduces the size of the carpet yarn

advertising etc But there are a number of common interest organizations which do group promotions on behalf of the industry
The Carpet and Rug Institute is a trade association representing the manufacturers of more than 90 of the U S production of carpet and rugs Manufacturer members which currently number 51 are firms involved directly in the production of carpet rugs soft floor covering products and other tufted textile products The 135 associate members are engaged in supplying goods andor services to the carpet and rug industry
The CRI identifies its most important objective as increasing the sale of the industrys products To this end the association pursues activities which fall into several basic groups The Carpet and Rug Industry Consumer Action Panel CRICAP is the central focus of the CRTs consumer affairs thrust It serves as a court of last appeal in settling consumer complaints that cannot be resolved at the retailer or manufacturer level This type of customer orientation has proven to be an effective tool in promoting carpet sales
Under the heading governmental affairs the Carpet and Rug Institute monitors legislative and regulatory activity as they apply to the industry The technical services function involves research and analysis efforts designed to eliminate common industry problems The CRI compiles a wide range of statistical information on marketing and production for use by participating firms in developing master sales strategy The institutes public relations programs include preparation of technical informational and promotional publications designed to enhance the industrys consumer image
The efforts of the DaltonWhitfield Chamber of Commerce are equally impressive Their convention and trade center committee has generated plans for a 162000 square foot facility to house among other events the Carpet Manufacturers Marketing Association annual show The Chamber aided in the formation of the Retail Carpet and Rug Outlet Council Charles Van Rysselberge explains the rationale behind the establishment of this cooperative 50 member organization Simply stated we want to make sure that a visitor who comes to Dalton to buy carpet leaves with what he came for
The Chamber of Commerce maintains an active export promotion committee which regularly stages how to seminars It attempts to appraise its membership of the availability of programs and seminars from other sources such as the Georgia Department
Carpet can be manufactured using predyed yarns One method of producing them is to stock dye large batches of staple fiber before it is processed into yarn
U S carpet manufacturers produce approximately one billion square yards of carpet annually It is estimated that 70 of this production comes out of Northwest Georgia

CARPET TO GO
Efforts to sell Georgia carpet certainly extend abroad and no one in Dalton knows more about the vagaries of international sales than Union Internationals Abdullah Warrayat His firm sells Georgia carpet on a commissioned basis throughout the Middle East His efforts resulted in the delivery in 1983 of over 8000000 square yards of Georgia Carpet to his buyers primarily in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait He parlays regular visits to his markets and a thorough knowledge of his customers needs and tastes into an active export trade His Dalton suppliers are the prime beneficiaries of his proven marketing strategy
Total U S exports of carpet and rugs for 1983 exceeded 200 million in value and amounted to over 40 million square yards The State of Georgia captured a share of this volume roughly in proportion to its 70 share of total U S production Exports represent some 662 of overall production a figure which is down slightly from the prerecession period
The major foreign buyers for U S carpet at this juncture are the nations of the Middle East Ronald VanGelderen notes that Saudi Arabia Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates top the buyers directory Canada remains another strong customer with a dropoff in volume for countries ranking fifth or below Other top 20 listings outside the Middle East include Japan West Germany United Kingdom Trinidad Switzerland Singapore
South Africa Hong Kong Panama Australia Columbia and the Bahamas
Sidney Schwartz of Horizon indicates that the continuing ability of the Middle Eastern nations to buy Georgia carpet goes beyond petroprofits He says The Middle East is the major buyer now because their economy is not based on an exchange rate They operate on almost a dollar economy Horizon exports some 156 of its products far in excess of the industry average of 6 Schwartz reports that 80 of that traffic is destined for the Middle East during this period when business with traditional customers such as England has been decimated by the strong dollar

economic woes Industry officials cite a number of reasons Design and color are very important You cant find the same carpet in Europe and Japan says Abdullah Warrayat
Ronald VanGelderen believes the U S technology edge results in a finished product with highly desirable characteristics He says We can provide quality at a competitive cost We produce some of the most practical carpet in the world Its easy to clean soilresistant and has excellent antistatic properties Tufted technology is by far the most advanced in the U S and the capacity of our industry is unbelievable
Robert Shaw believes that the positive reputation which once helped sell the U S product abroad is a factor which is dwindling in importance There is no established name recognition he states adding Wed be fooling ourselves if we thought there was He offers manufacturing expertise price and the ability to gear up quickly to fill a specific order as three significant selling points for American carpet
Horizon Industries Schwartz says Were very fashion oriented as opposed to commodity oriented This has greatly enhanced our image overseas Horizons advertising efforts reflect their corporate commitment to fashion leaning more toward the ethereal and less to the commercial See examples on page 4
Alix KenagyCarson writing for the China TYader agrees that the approach may have much to do with the firms dynamic growth and export successes Barely ten years old it Horizon has become the style leader of the American carpet industry With a worldwide reputation for originality and style this sophisticated entry is a leader in stateoftheart technology a model of manufacturing efficiency
Competition from foreign manufacturers is intense with the dollar being as strong as it is Frankly the Belgians and the English are more competitive to many markets than we are This is how Robert Shaw summarizes the current competitive arena for international carpet sales Ronald VanGelderen adds the Japanese Germans and Dutch to the list of adversaries
The solution to the problem may well lie in even more careful market targeting VanGelderen urges We need to sell the products that are not readily available overseas We cant compete for example with a style thats predominant in Europe when the Belgians and others are producing the same thing
Horizon with its heavy reliance on exports is trying to retain a diverse presence abroad
Sidney Schwartz says We try to keep our hand in all the markets even though they may currently be depressed Situations will change and the cycles will reoccur In two years the major markets may change so we want to retain contact Sometimes you dont have much notice Such diversification is employed by many of Georgias mills to guard against changes in the export spectrum
Customer service is a key consideration which can even offset certain unfavorable price differentials The key for exports is not product its service observes Schwartz Horizon has three full time export coordinators who touch base weekly with major foreign buyers
Customer sensitivity is another marketing tool employed by many a Georgia producer Knowledge of cultural and style requirements in the end market enable the manufacturer to provide the special widths designs backings etc which will assure competitiveness abroad Finally the technology gap allows the American producer to offer incentives related to better cycling turnaround and consequently delivery times
ACCESSING THE POND
Abdullah Warrayat espouses a refreshing business philosophy one which has led him to a most positive relationship with the Port of Savannah Business is not just a matter of profit its a matter of dealing with people you like and trust and who provide you with effective service With 8000000 square yards of exports yearly it is imperative that he identify a port with the inland access steamship schedule port service and cost which will optimize his export operations Warrayat states unequivocally that Savannah fills the bill
Don Simpson President of Simpson Export Services Co identifies geography as a major reason why Savannah serves as the primary and logical export conduit for carpet emanating from north Georgia For example he notes It cost 150 more to move a container to Charleston than to Savannah Savannah is a natural
Simpson adds comprehensive steamship service to the list of Savannah advantages

Over ninety percent of all the services we would ever need are going out of Savannah Savannah has the services where the other ports dont he explains
Simpson Export Services is the only forwarder operating in Dalton Don Simpson feels this gives him the opportunity for the personal contact with his customers which makes him more responsive to their needs and problems This firsthand knowledge led to his involvement with the establishment of P B Container Service This is an independent equipment pool available for use by all shippers Simpson summarizes When youre competing with the established forwarders you need an advantage some innovation that gives you an inside track Our Dalton location and this equipment pool are two things we can do to excel
EXPORT FUTURES
I see no new emerging markets in the next twelve months nor do I anticipate any big turnaround in the amount of export carpet in the next two years I do foresee some slight softening of the market Robert Shaw Until the dollar becomes more realistic in its relationship to other currencies were going to have a problem Ronald VanGelderen The dollar is beginning to soften somewhat now and business is a little better Abdullah Warrayat
Everyone seems to agree that there will be no drop in export carpet volumes There is less certainty as to when any increases might be forthcoming and what the growth curve will look like
There are however a combination of factors which guarantee that when the return to economic normalcy eventuates Georgias carpet manufacturers will reap their share of the benefits First the technological advantages enjoyed by U S producers guarantee cost efficiency rapid turnaround and prompt delivery Sales personnel representing U S firms gamer information concerning style culture and needs in foreign markets and funnel it to the manufacturers for inclusion in design and production planning Finally the American commitment to quality guarantees a continuing niche in the international market for high end carpets and mgs even when competition from foreign suppliers erodes sales of economy products

The three new vessels are the Barber Tampa the Barber Hector and the Barber Texas Each has the capacity for 2400 twenty foot containers and 2560000 cubic feet of noncontainerized cargo They weigh in at 44000 deadweight tons apiece and represent a combined investment of 200 million The new bottoms were constructed at the worlds largest single shipyard in Ulsan Korea by Hyundai Heavy Industries Co Ltd Construction time

The crews living spaces aboard the Barber Tampa certainly merit the description comfortable
MV Barber Tampa makes her way past Savannahs historic riverfront on her first visit to the port
for each was only nine months from laying of the keel to delivery to the new owners
Their 860 foot length overall makes the ships among the longest calling the Port of Savannah Other design specifics include a 106 foot breadth and a design draught of 32 feet The 148 foot long stem ramp offers a minimum clear width of 41 feet assuring easy two way access to the massive storage areas below and on deck
The three ships which bring to nine the number of Supercarriers in what has come to be known as the Superfleet represent the completion of BBS plan to offer shippers a completely selfcontained RoRo fleet All of the vessels certainly merit the designation selfsustaining as evidenced by the impressive list of equipment which is part and parcel of a Supercarrier II On the weather deck a 40 ton crane handles heavy lift chores Seven forklifts ranging from 4 to 35 tons in

Supercarriers to Southeast Asia and the Orient
The vessels will call inbound on the same ten day interval delivering cargo from Bangkok Malaysia Singapore Hong Kong Kaohsiung Keelung Kobe Nagoya Yokohama and Moji Prevalent cargoes will include textiles electronics automobile and truck parts motorcycles bicycles toys footwear tractors and bulldozers rubber artificial flowers foodstuffs tires and tubes yachts and Christmas ornaments
With the expansion of its fleet to nine vessels Barber Blue Sea has consolidated its operations in select ports both in the US and abroad Several smaller ships which had been calling Savannah for some time have been phased out now that additional capacity in the form of the Supercarriers II has become available The MVis Barber Tsu Terrier Memnon Talisman Thermopylae Tennessee Menestheus and Menelaus which had been calling a number of South Atlantic ports have been deleted in favor of centralized operations in the Port of Savannah
Barber Blue Sea headquartered in Oslo is a joint venture of Wilh Wilhelmsen of Norway which will own the Barber Tampa and the Barber Texas Ocean Transport and Trading of England which will own the Barber Hector and Brostrom Shipping Company of Sweden Serving fifty ports worldwide the line operates 200 offices 25 of which are in the United States BBS is one of the largest container lessors in the world maintaining a fleet comprising some 20000 units including 20 and 40 foot dry containers reefers super high cubes open tops platforms bins tank containers as well as chassis The conglomerate was formed in 1974 as a joint operating venture
While slightly smaller than the IPs the six original Supercarriers nonetheless boast impressive dimensions in their own right The Barbers Taif Toba Tonsberg Priam Perseus and Nara have space for 1800 twenty footers and 22 million cubic feet of breakbulk cargo Each weighs 32500 deadweight tons Interestingly the combined cost for the first six vessels matched that for the three newest additions 200 million
The scale and outfitting of these newest versions of the Supercarrier are better appreciated in light of a few demonstrative facts A crew of only twentytwo operates the large vessel which is about the size of a large passenger liner Facilities for the onboard staff include a swimming pool exercise room recreation room squash court library and fullyequipped individual cabins Engine room and bridge instrumentation alone cost over a million dollars per vessel Fully fueled a Supercarrier II can travel 40000 nonstop nautical miles On one aroundtheworld trip her shaft revolves ten million times It takes

individual capacities travel with the vessel
Two 40 foot 60 ton capacity and two 20 foot 30 ton capacity trailers are available for moving sizeable breakbulk parcels One each forty and twenty foot crane spreaders complete an equipment profile which guarantees full utilization of the vessels capabilities even in lessdeveloped ports
The introduction of the three new vessels will have a most desirable effect on Barber Blue Seas service frequency for the Port of Savannah The line has begun offering sailings every ten days on both its inbound and outbound leg By adding a second call for the port BBS will effectively cut ten days from the transit time on the outbound leg according to David Smith Sales Representative for Barber Blue Sea He adds This will make us much more competitive in terms of delivery times
The Barber Tampa ramps down to prepare for unloading operations during her first visit to CONTAINERPORT Savannah Nine vessels will now be calling the port every ten days both inbound and outbound in conjunction with the carriers new consolidated rotation
BBS outbound service will connect Savannah with ports in the Middle East Southeast Asia and the Far East Included on the rotation are Abu Dhabi Bahrain Damman Doha Dubai Jeddah Quwait Mina Qaboos Sharjah Bangkok Columbo Dumai Hong Kong Jakarta Kaohsiung Keelung Manila Penang Port Kelang and Singapore

HEAVY LIFT FORA
HEAVY LIFTER
It boiled down to a kind of brother act when GPAs crane fleet recently loaded components for a heavy lift crane moving in export The unit was shipped by the FMC Corporation from its Cedar Rapids Iowa facility
The crane in question is a LinkBelt crawder crane Model no LS718 with a heavy lift attachment The rated capacity of the unit by itself is 250 US tons Utilization of the heavy lift attachment raises that figure to 350 tons
The LS718HL was shipped by rail in 71 separate pieces The total shipment grossed
787000 pounds and occupied some 64000 cubic feet of space aboard ship The heaviest individual component tipped the scales at
78000 pounds The three counterweights measured 60000 40000 and 40000 pounds respectively with the crawler tracks weighing
60000 pounds apiece None of the massive equipment posed any problems for the heavy lift fleet at GPAs Garden City Terminal
This is the first of two large LinkBelt crawler cranes purchased by Bhurat Heavy Electrical Ltd of New Delhi India It will assist in the construction of a 500 megawatt coalbased thermal power station in India known as the Singraoli Project The LS718 had to be transported some 2000 kilometers inland to the job site after unloading in the port of Bombay
Several factors keyed FMCs decision to utilize the Port of Savannah for the move according to Angelo Martini of the firms International Traffic Group The nine day rail transit time from Iowa was fantastic said Martini He added In the past rail transit had been a hesitation point as far as the Port of Savannah However FMC and the port authority made a concerted effort with the Norfolk Southern and they responded with this exceptional delivery schedule Martini noted that the willingness of the Shipping Corporation of India to dispatch its MV Tulsidas and the availability of ample dockside storage were other determinants in FMCs selection of Savannah as throughpoint
The cab of FMCs LS718 crane is hoisted aboard the MV Tulsidas The SCI vessel transported the unit to Bombay for subsequent delivery to a power plant project in central India Norton Lilly are local agents for SCI
The availability of spacious dockside marshalling areas facilitated FMCs export shipment of its LS718 heavy lift crawler crane

Dual marginal rail tracks at Savannahs Garden City Terminal meant easy access for railcars delivering FMC crane components
The model 718 begins FMCs line of what are called large crawler cranes pieces of equipment which enjoy considerable popularity at construction sites around the world The big brother of the lineup the LS1018 is rated at 500 tons With the addition of a similar heavy lift rig it will handle lifts to 700 tons
It takes heavy equipment to handle heavy equipment and Savannah is certainly wellequipped Add ample open storage and a diversified steamship schedule and the attraction becomes compelling The final factor is responsive customeroriented inland transportation of the type provided FMC by the Norfolk Southern Angelo Martini advised that the parts produced a most satisfactory whole in terms of this export move He expressed confidence that the removal of any question concerning inland transportation to Savannah would mean more FMC business for the port in the future
DISTRIBUTION FACILITY FOR COLUMBUS
GPAs Bainbridge Terminal now houses Sifto Salts distribution operation
Liquid bulk storage capacity at Georgia Ports Authoritys barge terminal in Columbus was just what the doctor ordered for Burris Chemical new distribution facility for liquid caustic soda
Burris Chemical Company has opened a new liquid bulk distribution facility on the premises of Georgia Ports Authoritys barge terminal in Columbus Georgia
Burris will be using a total of four liquid bulk storage tanks for the storage and reshipment of liquid caustic soda From Columbus the product will be channeled to customers in the southeastern Alabama north Florida and south Georgia markets Both tank truck and tank car movements will be handled through the new facility
Burris can store in excess of 66 million pounds of the liquid caustic soda at its new location All of the product will be of domestic manufacture with PPG serving as Burris supplier The soda will originate at PPGk Lake Charles Louisiana plant End uses for the commodity are quite diverse and include the textile and pulp and paper industries as well as water treatment and chemical production
Throughput for Burris new operation is expected to run in the range of 50008000 dry tons annually A total of some 68 barges will be required to deliver the caustic soda in this volume In addition to its new Columbus location Burris operates nine chemical distribution centers in the Southeast plus a bulk terminal at their Charleston South Carolina headquarters
Coming on the heels of recent announcements of new customers at Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge terminal the Burris agreement is another signal that the TriRivers system is experiencing a resurgence The recent completion of the rock relocation project along the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint network has provided the channel reliability that prospective shippers to and from the area have been looking for The steady stream of inquiries which has been forthcoming suggests that the growth curve will continue to slope upward for the foreseeable future

SALT
TALK
A division of Domtar Industries Inc has found Georgia Ports Authority newly accessible Bainbridge barge terminal to be well worth its salt Domtars Sifto Salt Division will utilize the Bainbridge facility to distribute its product throughout a four state market area The states involved are Georgia Florida South Carolina and Alabama There is a distinct possibility that the region served from Bainbridge could be expanded as transportation logistics can be worked out according to company officials
Sifto will be bringing the salt in by barge from Cote Blanche Louisiana It will be bagged at the Bainbridge site for subsequent delivery throughout the designated market area Harold Miller Vice President of Marketing for the firm indicates that inland delivery will initially be accomplished by truck
Several different grades of salt will be traversing the Bainbridge docks They will be identical in composition and purity with the distinction lying in the size of the crystal struc

ture Initially well be bringing in coarse and extra coarse says company spokesman Bob Meierhans These differences in size have to do with manufacturing needs in processing Some examples of such criteria are dissolve time and screening and sifting requirements
The end uses of Siftos salt are quite diverse They include pickling applications for food processing plants paper mills and chlorine caustic plants They also are utilized in water conditioning and agricultural feeds and feed mixing
Sifto will be operating its own bagging facility on the terminal The majority of the product will be placed in fifty and eighty pound bags for inland delivery Some of the water conditioning salts will move in retail consumer type packages and forty pound containers
Meierhans indicates that the selection of Bainbridge centered largely around geography The river port offered the best access to the market Sifto wanted to serve Certain facility specifics also came into play Meierhans observes At Bainbridge we can deposit the bulk product and have a sufficient time frame to screen it bag it and distribute it economically Meierhans adds that such logistical considerations are particularly important in the marketing of salt since transportation expenses regularly make up as much as one half of the total delivered cost
Domtar Siftos three year lease agreement with Georgia Ports Authority is good news for Bainbridge The company is projecting throughput of 20000 tons for the first year and expects activity to peak at 35000 tons annually Compared to overall yearly figures for Bainbridge which have run in the 50000 range for the last several years such throughput levels represent a major volume increase for the river port
The reason The longawaited rock relocation in the lower end TriRivers network has provided the channel reliability that wouldbe users of the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint system have been looking for Since the projects completion towboat skippers have reported clear sailing to and from Bainbridge The addition of Sifto Salt to a growing list of customers signifies that more and more shippers who appreciate the costeffective barge option are becoming aware that Bainbridge is a revitalized wideopen alternative

THIRD
BULK
WAREHOUSE
BRUNSWICK
Georgia Ports Authority has given its import dry bulk handling capability at East River Terminal in Brunswick a boost with the construction of a third warehouse It comprises some 70000 square feet and has a 70000 ton storage capacity
The new structure is fed by an extension to the existing 500 ton per hour conveyor system which has been serving buildings I and II Dockside a specialty ship unloader retrieves products at rates up to 700 tons per hour for transfer of inbound product to the warehouses as well as open storage areas Dry bulks such as salt urea and potash are expected to head the commodity list
In FY 83 Georgia Ports Authority handled some 525000 tons of cargo across its East River Terminal in Brunswick a 48 increase over the previous year This impressive growth coupled with projections of increasing bulk trades to and from the Southeast has precipitated a surge of facilities development in the port At nearby Colonels Island a 40 million export dry bulk facility is under construction and on schedule for 1985 completion The recently acquired Mayors Point Terminal will become the breakbulk nucleus of GPAs Brunswick operations sometime next year At the East River Terminal the extension of transit shed II will provide additional marshalling space for outbound dry bulks
These combined projects represent total investment of nearly 70 million testimony to the Georgia Ports Authority confidence in the role of the emerging Port of Brunswick in the international bulk trades
Plenty of high dry space is what Brunswicks new warehouse offers shippers of dry bulk cargoes
Brunswicks bulk warehouse III foreground brings total protected storage for dry bulks to 180000 square feet

ONE HUNDRED CANDLES FOR MITSUI
The numbers tell the story Service to three hundred ports in one hundred different countries More shipping routes 40 than any other company worldwide A company owned fleet comprising 81 ships with an aggregate deadweight tonnage of 497 million tons An overall operating fleet including 261 vessels weighing in at 904 million dwt Certainly not the credentials of any newcomer to the transportation scene Rather the grand status attained by Mitsui OSK Lines in this their hundredth year of existence
Mitsui OSK traces its roots to two lines which emerged during the postisolation era of a century ago After 250 years of selfimposed withdrawal under the Tokugawa Shogunate Japan embraced modernization with a vengeance With domestic natural resources virtually nonexistent this new thrust could only succeed given a viable merchant marine Mitsui Steamship Company Ltd Mitsui Line a descendant of Mitsui Bussan Kaisha and Osaka Shosen Kaisha OSK Line were two firms which were founded to fill the bill With Mitsui founded in 1879 and OSK dating from 1884 their offspring can claim this year 100 years of activity on either side of their family tree
Their merger in 1964 combined the diverse resources of two distinctly different operating entities While OSK had an especially strong background in liner operations the Mitsui Line was well known in the bulk trades as well as liners The combination of the two produced one of Japans mightiest shipping firms
A brief history of the major events in the development of Mitsui OSK Lines
1868 Following the appearance of Commodore Perrys warships modernization begins under Emperor Meiji
1869 Suez Canal opens reducing Far East to Europe sailing times by 25
1879 Mitsui and Company opens for business
1884 OSK Line opens its doors
Mitsui OSK Lines celebrating its centennial this year is a fixture on the Port of Savannahs sailing schedule
1908 OSK Line inaugurates its first ocean liner route Hong Kong to Tacoma Washington
1911 JapaneseAmerican trade agreement signed
19131919 Both companies vastly expand their service coverage
1914 Opening of the Panama Canal forever changes the cost picture for Far EastUS East Coast trade
1929 Black Monday shatters the world economic picture Only a year later a resilient OSK Line establishes the fastest Yokohama New York service with the Kinai Maru making the transit in just under 26 days
1947 Only two years after the end of World War II OSK and Mitsui Lines resume international service
1964 Mitsui OSK Lines formed
1967 The Middle East War closes the Suez Canal until 1975
1968 MOLs first full container service to the US West Coast
1975 Mitsui OSK Line commences full container service to the Port of Savannah
To celebrate its centennial Mitsui OSK has adopted the slogan Port to port people to people 100 years The line has committed its considerable resources to assuring another 100 years of prosperous customeroriented service A modem fleet and equipment advanced data processing systems a worldwide office network and a proven record of service and reliability are the ingredients which will assure that success Partnerships with progressive committed ports like Savannah are the necessary final component
Georgia Ports Authority and the Port of Savannah look forward to a continuation of the healthy relationship with Mitsui OSK Happy Birthday

THE
UP AND UP
Calendar year 1983 marked the first time that tonnages for CONTAINERPORT Savannah exceeded the two million mark If returns for January 1984 are any indication figures for this year will erase that milestone in eleven short months
Some 204122 tons of cargo crossed CONTAINERPORT docks during the first month of the year This was the first time that monthly figures eclipsed the 200000 ton level in the history of the facility This represents a 15000 ton increase over the previous monthly standard A simple extension of the figures shows that with no continued growth 1984 totals will approach 25 million tons Given the recent growth history of the facility and the large number of new lines now calling it is reasonable to describe this prediction as conservative
Georgia Ports Authority reaction to this trend takes the form of container berth five Construction of this latest phase of CONTAINERPORT is scheduled to begin this summer toward a completion date in late 1985 To be located immediately adjacent to existing container facilities number five will measure 1000 lineal feet will be served by two 45 ton capacity high speed cranes unit nos 8 and 9 will be backed up by a 60 acre storage yard total paved marshalling area 240 acres
A number of factors have combined in addition to the influx of new carriers to produce this positive trend for CONTAINERPORT Firstly the beginnings of the longawaited world economic recovery are finally in evidence Secondly the gradual softening of the U S dollar against a number of important foreign currencies has enhanced the potential profitability of exporting for certain U S manufacturers Many of this group are firms who had previously engaged heavily in export activity Any return for them to near normal levels would certainly signal a dramatic increase in trade activity with predictable effects on the transportation sector
Fortunately for the Port of Savannah progressive Sun Belt industries will be among the first to profit from any improvement in the ability of traditional customers to purchase goods and services As the recognized load center for this prosperous region Savannah is already becoming the economic barometer for the resurgence

GRAIN FUTURES
Joe Mitchell local manager for Continental Grain discussed the outlook for international grain shipments during recent remarks to the Savannah Propeller Club
The current status of and prospects for the international grain market were the subjects of recent remarks to Savannahs Propeller Club delivered by Joe Mitchell who directs Continental Grains Savannah operation
Mitchell prefaced his address with a brief outline of the role of the grain trader and the forces which affect his activity He included in this category everything from European Economic Community trade policies to weather in Russia to war in the Faulklands to the value of the US dollar to corn blight in Illinois to EDB scares to the import of Japanese cars to political upheaval in the Middle East to syn fuel production in the US to farmer credit policies of the banks
Mitchell is predicting that the handle for the Savannah operation this year will be off by some 50 as compared to last year He cites a number of contributing factors including failure to reach a textile agreement with the Chinese who had previously bought about 65 of the soft red winter wheat moving through Savannah the PIK program which paid farmers not to grow a strong US dollar low barge rates and a summer drought
More than cloudy is Mitchells description of the road ahead in the grain business He reports that exports are down 10 since 1980 and expects the trend to continue for the short term Signs of weakness in the industry are overcapacity in terms of grain production capability massive farmer debt and idle hopper cars and barges Mitchell adds that in many areas there exists considerable overcapacity in terms of transshipment facilities as well Mitchell explains The export companies responded to the export explosion of the 1970s with numerous new facilities Now given the current soft market there are simply too many He characterized the Savannah
facility as one of the few which constituted a rational reaction to the market as it exists today
A number of solutions to the problems afflicting the grain business have been forthcoming according to Mitchell and from a variety of sources He proposes that none of the short term fixes promises much in the way of relief Remedies such as increased subsidies protectionist policies etc do not deal with what Mitchell views as the root of the problem He says Any significant increase in demand is going to have to come from third world markets There will be no such increase forthcoming from mature markets like Japan and Europe He continues With the strength of the dollar and their existing debts were losing ground in the third world The long term recovery of our industry depends on the economic turnaround in the third world and thats going to be a long time coming
Savannahs dry bulk facility certainly does not qualify as one of the grain handling giants However in this era of a sagging world economy strong dollar and reduced export activity its size may be the very factor that enables it to operate profitably given the current economic state of affairs While tonnages for the current shipping year may not reach peak levels they are certainly respectable
Mitchell indicates that during the early Continental GPA negotiations projections for a grain handle of 300000 tons annually were considered optimistic First year totals reached 400000 and Continental has never looked back When the Colonels Island dry bulk facility comes on stream in 1985 the Savannah facility will be dedicated exclusively to grain handling This will double the storage capacity for wheat and soybeans while eliminating the cleanup delays associated with the switch between edibles and minerals When this realignment is accomplished initial tonnage projections will be nothing more than a faint highly conservative memory

100 tons of paint to coat one of the ships While a II is 111 feet longer and 11500 dwt heavier than a I clever engineering has produced a ship which is actually four feet lower and sits only three feet deeper in the water Both models are identical in width based on the limitations posed by the Panama Canal
In its publicity materials announcing the introduction of the three new vessels Barber Blue Sea notes The SuperFleet has the cargo handling flexibility to transport all types of containerized and noncontainerized cargo including unboxed cars rolling stock trailers yachts refrigerated cargo and heavy lifts This versatility was critical for the first call by one of the new ships On the inbound voyage the discharge list for the MV Barber Tampa included 56 twenty foot containers 79 forty footers 5 twenty foot bins 77 twenty foot bolsters carrying loads up to 53 tons including a yacht 83 pieces of heavy equipment 29 bundles of forty foot long pipe 314 coils of wire 42 pallets and 16 cases of general cargo
5 cases of machinery and 28 crates of tractor parts Obviously the Port of Savannah will provide heavy utilization for the increased capacity frequency and versatility afforded by BBS revamped service structure
Discussing the Supercarriers II Barber Blue Sea Executive Vice President Raymond R Miles stated They have been dubbed the Free Trade Ships because the success of this 200 million investment depends on free access to the worlds markets The expansion of the fleet to nine vessels has given the carrier the equipment wherewithal to take this dramatic step in introducing its aroundtheworld service Port consolidation plays a key role in BBS overall strategy and Savannah is fortunate to have been chosen to be a part of the master rotation plan
Barber Blue Seas expanded service debuts at a time of considerable uncertainty in the transportation sector BBS Chairman of the Board Wilhelm Wilhelmsen explains the rationale Despite the fact that the world is steeped in a deep shipping recession we do not believe in doomsday for world trade Furthermore we believe we shall play our part in carrying this trade We do not attempt halfhearted solutions The goal for any liner service we decide to maintain must be a combination of optimal tonnage a strong organization and top grade services A 200 million commitment to expand the SuperFleet introduction of a revamped aroundtheworld service and heavy first voyage bookings for the Savannah inbound leg are just three indications that at Barber Blue Sea action matches commitment

II PERSPECTIVE
AnchorAge
George J Nichols
Load center centerport hub center whichever name you choose to employ the fact remains that intermodalism has afforded the transportation industry an unparalleled opportunity to consolidate operations Fuel labor and equipment costs have forced carriers to indentify ways of reducing the cost of operating without deleting necessary service coverage
The load center is the product of their deliberations Deregulation has provided the railroads with an opportunity to drop marginal routes while centralizing operations in the high volume cargo nuclei The increasing popularity of the container has facilitated this reorganization Boxes can be assembled from a sizable hinterland around a designated hub for shipment to a common destination ie another hub The volume of containers traversing these epicenters permits the railroad to build dedicated piggyback trains to avail themselves and their customers of the cost advantages of runthrough services
On the water side the phenomenon tracks closely The name of the game is larger and larger ships calling fewer and fewer ports Landbridge is the order of the day with cargoes bypassing their own regional ports in favor of the load centers
As with rail traffic the centerport concept succeeds because the larger vessels offer economies of scale increased capacity and improved transit all of which push the transportation price down Even with the additional inland cost the load center package is consistently cheaper because of the savings enjoyed by ships operating on a trimmed down schedule Simply stated they offer the same quality service at competitive cost and they can offer it more frequently with the same size fleet
Interm odalism and the hub concept are blurring the traditional distinctions between the different transportation modes The railroads are working more closely than ever with the truck lines to assure a steady flow of equipment between their load centers and their service regions Steamship lines are negotiating with railroads to establish unit trains of containers moving on fixed schedules along the corridors between ports and inland cargo centers There are several examples of steamship lines and railroads venturing across modal lines by forming motor carrier subsidiaries The container has made total pointtopoint transportation possible and the new cross
talk among the modes is making it practical
This issue of AnchorAge details the new United States Lines Port of Savannah accord page 2 and the visits of two of Barber Blue Seas new Supercarriers page 40 We feel that the decision by these two prestigious carriers to center up in Savannah suggests several things First it implies that the port is the optimum South Atlantic gateway for southern and midwestem cargoes Secondly it suggests that Savannah is indeed a port for its time
It is a port which facilitates the carriers move toward load center operations one which provides balanced access for vessels trucks and railcars It is a port with a history of provision of facilities at the proper point in time It is in short a prototype of the twentieth century centerport Plans are already on the drawing board to assure that the combination of advantages will be equally appropriate well into the next century

Georgia Ports Authority and United States Lines have reached agreement on a new longterm contract covering the carriers utilization of Savannahs CONTAINERPORT facility The 21year accord will generate sufficient additional cargo volumes to make Savannah the leading container handler on the U S South Atlantic seaboard
Were consolidating our efforts in one southern port and one northern port New York said U S Lines President and Chairman William Bru Several years ago the line was calling a total of eight ports on the eastern seaboard Operating economics and the introduction of a new global service have dictated the streamlining of the schedule The impact upon the centerports remaining on the itinerary will be immediate and considerable
Bru is projecting a threefold increase in his lines handle through the Port of Savannah by 1986 when he expects
175000 USL containers to be lifted U S Lines is already Savannahs leading container operator accounting for V3 of total volume and the new contract will

further expand their presence in the port
By the end of the current calendar year an average of five USL vessels a week will be visiting CONTAINERPORT This includes weekly calls in conjunction with a new aroundtheworld service plus continuation of the Northern European Pacific South American and African runs already in effect The total U S Lines service package is expected to generate annual throughput of 15 million tons of containerized cargo
The direct economic impact of this increased activity on the State of Georgia will amount to 40 million annually said Governor Joe Frank Harris at 3 press conference announcing the contract The indirect impact in terms of additional employment in related industry within Georgia State and local tax revenues and merchants receipts for example will be equally impressive Applying the accepted multiplier total indirect benefit derived from this new agreement will be in the area of 100 million
The projected direct economic impact of 40 million includes the estimated 14 million payroll of the 125 employees who will staff U S Lines Savannah operation The remaining 26 million involves direct payment for goods and services including

inland transportation and assessments to the International Longshoremens Association maritime service firms and the Georgia Ports Authority For example USL will require over 4000 container crane hours per year to complete its loading and discharge Stevedoring terminal and warehousing man hours generated are expected to reach 300000 annually
long term agreement and to designate Savannah as one of only two east coast centerports revolves around their introduction of an aroundtheworld service in August The line will execute the new itinerary with twelve jumbo vessels which will be the largest containerships in the world fleet The vessels will circumnavigate the globe eastbound connecting the Far East U S Europe and the Middle East
A brief look at the kind of vital statistics that merit the designation jumbo would be in order The vessels measure in at 950 feet length overall With a beam of 106 feet they are built as wide as the Panama Canal will permit and will draw 35 feet of water under normal operating conditions
AnchorAge
Tonnages for the new bottoms read deadweight 57800 metric tons gross
52000 MT and net 18700 MT
These considerable dimensions produce a capacity unprecedented in the annals of container shipbuilding Each jumbo will carry 1232 fortyfoot containers in its holds and another 996 on deck for a total of 2228 FEU fortyfoot equivalent units 146 refrigerated slots are included in the total Conventional cargoes particularly rolling stock can be placed in the 102500 cubic feet of breakbulk space designed into the vessels
The new bottoms are powered by Sulzer 7RLB90 slow speed diesels generating
28000 horsepower They will cruise at 18 knots and each carries sufficient fuel to traverse 30000 nautical miles nonstop The list of sophisticated guidance communication hardware includes the SATNAV satellite guidance system Loran Decca electronic navigation system autopilot short and long range radar including automated collision avoidance systems and a satellite communication system which permits voice or telex contact to any land location or ship in the world
The size and sophistication of U S
Lines newest fleet additions dictate an individual price tag of 50 million

attract the sizeable cargo offerings needed to fill the jumbos
U S Lines shift to load center operations dictates increased attention to the inland side of the transportation package The intermodal opportunities made available by the container make the load center practicable but only for those steamship lines who nurture a series of effective inland connections We are looking at unit train contracts in the Midwest stated William Bru He added that the line is also seeking to access markets across the entire southern half of the country through Savannah The fact that Savannah lies furthest inland of any east coast port provides transportation cost advantages which further facilitate USLs newly centralized activities
The rotation for the weekly aroundtheworld service has not been finalized It is known that the American New York will sail from the Far East to Savannah first inbound and on to New York thence to Northern Europe through the Mediterranean and Middle East and then via the Suez Canal back to the Far East
The fist of existing services which U S Lines will continue to operate testifies to the extensive geographic coverage the carrier will offer from Savannah The Trans Atlantic European service brings one of four ships to the port on Monday of every week This fixed schedule connects the port with Rotterdam Bremerhaven Southampton and LeHavre The C8 class vessels engaged in the run exceed 800 feet in length and will accommodate 1070 forty foot boxes
On Thursday of each week USLs Far East service arrives in Savannah having called Honolulu Guam Kaohsiung Hong Kong Busan Kobe and Yokohama Eleven companyowned bottoms ply this trade for the fine They fall in the 700 foot range with capacities of from 600 to 1258 twenty footers In addition as many as 10 charters are retained to provide additional carriage and to cover for inhouse ships during periods of routine maintenance

Port Elizabeth and Cape Town and then stop at Santos and Fortaleza Brazil on the return leg The ships are of the C6B and C6C classes measure approximately 666 feet and carry 590 TEUs
Identical length 666 feet and capacity statistics 590 TEUs apply to the three vessels in U S Lines South America Service The MVs American Argo Vega and Rigel sail twice a month for Santos Buenos Aires Montevideo Rio Grande and Paranagua Cargo availability regularly induces stopovers at ports such as Itaqui Fortaleza and Ascension Isle Charter
vessels are occasionally utilized to fill out the rotation
The new contract is significant for several reasons It shows that U S Lines theworld service spider webs the globe to provide transportation seekers with a one stop clearing house for their ocean shipments It is one thing when a line serving a particular trade route selects a load center It is quite another when a line centralizes five distinct viable services in a particular port ie U S Lines Savannah
The new contract is significant for serveral reasons It shows that U S Lines marketing research indicates the need for a South Atlantic stop on their pared down rotations The length of the contract shows their confidence in the longterm vitality and growth potential of the population centers which can be served through the South Atlantic It shows that the transportation infrastructure in the region has indeed come of age particularly in the intermodal arena Finally it signifies that from the carriers perspective Savannah best embodies those characteristics which are critical to the large scale load center operation

FORUM
A capacity crowd of over 800 shippers carriers equipment manufacturers and government officials from across the nation came together recently in Atlanta to learn how piggyback the booming transportation of truck trailers and ocean containers on railroad flat cars is on the fast track to becoming the intercity freight mode of the 1980s A total of 36 speakers including presidents and vice presidents of major shipping corporations railroads motor carriers steamship lines and piggyback equipment manufacturers presented the two day program at The 1984 National Intermodal Forum and Piggyback Exposition held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta
The Forum sponsored by the Georgia Freight Bureau and cosponsored by most of the nations major rail carriers and a consortium of shippers agents thoroughly covered the hot intermodal topic and the role of each link in the intermodal chain
The equipment exhibition provided conferencegoers with a firsthand look at the latest products of the intermodal equipment explosion

FORUM
Attendees at the Forum heard how the piggyback business pioneered in the 1950s has now become one of the economic mainstays and the area of fastest growth for the railroads Piggyback traffic grew 21 in 1983 4000000 trailers and containers handled and forecasters are predicting at least a 12 increase in 1984 The month of January came in at 18 growth indicative of another recordbreaking year
The Tuesday morning program kicked off with an address on The Basis of Piggybacking delivered by Seaboard System VP for Marketing and Planning
W C McCormack He reported that piggyback pricing has remained cost comparable because railroads are responding to intense competition McCormack added that Seaboards piggyback activity had been only marginally profitable to date but added that the potential for earnings at an acceptable level could be realized through effective management and operating techniques
The Role of the Shippers Agents and Associations in Piggybacking was the subject of discussion among five panelists all of whom were presidents of their respective organizations Phillip Yeager of Chicagos Hub City Terminals discussed the incursion of other transportation entities into the traditional shippers agents realm He stated Today we have brokers steamship lines truckers and railroads all looking like shippers agents We have had to diversify We own our own trailers truck lines distribution and warehousing facilities etc Its do or die time for agents
John Allen of ITOFCA noted Seventyfive percent of intermodal traffic moves on third party bills of lading He predicted continuous significant growth of piggyback and a concurrent increase in the need for the services of the shippers agent An organization of professional specialists is becoming even more important in todays volatile environment he concluded
We have been a sales force for the railroads for many years explained Troy Stubbs of the Memphisbased National Piggyback Services Inc He expects piggyback to further increase his role in a direct sales capacity on behalf of the rail industry Denny Lydic of TrailerMate called for improved harmony between agents and the railroads He feels this is an achievable goal based primarily on the emergence of new management in the rail sector He explains Were on the threshold of a whole new era of intermodalism Real businessmen are the new leadership of the railroads
Discussing his firms support of the railroads Bob Marden stated Trailer Train has promoted piggyback acting as an agent for the shipper The time has come for the railroads to accept associations as agents for the railroads and to recompense them accordingly
Counsellor Ronald Cobert discussed the legal ramifications of the piggyback players He cited several examples of legal pitfalls in outlining what he described as a confusing lawscape and he reviewed the implications of pertinent regulations including the Staggers Act the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 and Interstate Commerce Commission implementation of both
Lawrence Cena President and Chief Operating Officer of the Santa Fe Railway Company stated the railroads needed to identify their place for the remainder of the century and beyond We need to define what our corporate options are in this dynamic transportation environment to be able to remain financially healthy in periods of economic contraction as well as expansion
The piggyback movement starts with the shipper and forum attendees heard the distribution heads of five major corporations explain How My Firm Capitalizes on Piggyback John Lind Director of Corporate Transportation and Distribution Coming Glass Works Coming New York whose firm produces some 60000 different products said his company has relied increasingly on rail containeronflatcar COFC service to serve a growing export market and supply Comings international operations Lind pointed to increased competition for TOFC traffic from irregular route common carriers who have been able to reduce their costs either through nonunion labor or in concessions from the Teamsters and called for increased scrutiny of third party intermediaries by the railroads
George Tidmarsh Vice PresidentOperations and Distribution Sears Roebuck Chicago who heads a distribution operation drawing from 6000 sources serving 831 stores shipping more than 100000 piggyback trailers per year
said his TOFC traffic was up 30 in 1983 versus 1982 Tidmarsh said Sears likes the rails HUB center concept but that increased drayage costs are making irregular route trucking more competitive
Ray Mayeske Executive DirectorTransportation 3M Company St Paul Minnesota heading the traffic operation of a company producing 40000 products in 107 plant locations said the key to deriving the benefits of piggyback is a welldefined TOFC business plan in which both the carrier and shipper commit to cost containment It is then that benefits including managed freight costs more effective inventory control better equipment because long term agreements encourage investment and methods of appraising performance can accrue
Frank Jones Vice President and Director of Transportation South wire Company Carrollton Georgia the worlds largest independent producer of electrical wire and cable said his firm capitalizes on piggyback in a number of ways First piggyback has created more competition Said Jones Were it not for piggyback and our private fleet we would be at the mercy of the motor carrier Conventional boxcar transportation cannot satisfy our needs As the result of competition we have not found it necessary to increase our fleet during the last several years Second Jones said one of the greatest advantages of piggyback is flexibility It is very refreshing to be able to start negotiating this morning complete the negotiating this morning and load the trailer this afternoon Jones encouraged railroads and motor carriers to work more closely with private carriers to find a way to capitalize off the largest segment of trucking in the United States

and Distribution Continental Can Company Oak Brook Illinois said there is tremendous opportunity for piggyback growth for both shippers and carriers but that railroads need to design their piggyback systems to meet the needs of the future instead of a recent tendency to concentrate too much on the past
The program also covered the role of motor carriers in international containeronflatcar domestic trailer and container traffic with presentations by Warren Smith Vice PresidentOverseas Operations
Yellow Freight International St Louis and Richard Knock President Intermodal Transportation Service Cincinnati Ohio Knock noted In summation How the Motor Carrier Makes Maximum Use of Piggyback is by marketing the inherent advantages of both systems to provide an effective subsystem to the total distribution network of the customers we serve
Another way in which the railroads are responding to the piggyback boom is in the commitment of millions of dollars to new or improved terminals rolling stock locomotives and rights of way The t spotlight focuses on Atlanta in the area of new terminal facilities Seaboard System Railroad President Richard Sanborn reported that CSX Corporation parent company of Seaboard will be investing one billion dollars between now and the end of the decade on new piggyback facilities and equipment Of that sum 25 million has been allocated to build a new piggyback terminal in Atlanta which will be the most modern terminal we have anywhere on our I railroad according to Sanborn
Sanborn touched on another development which youll be seeing more of the runthrough train using the trackage of another railroad There is really no reason why two separately owned railroads could not operate a through piggyback service over the long haul even transcontinental
Sanborn also discussed the possibility of utilizing the railroadoperated distribution center whereby bulk shipments could move from production locations to regional centers for local delivery He g added that various functions such as
labelling and sorting could be performed during the layover at the railroad warehouse I find this kind of total transportation system with a valueadded function included at the warehouse stop a very exciting prospect said Sanborn
Moving aggressively toward improved productivity through new and improved terminals and rights of way are Norfolk g Southern Corporation NSC and its subsidiary railroads the Norfolk and Western and the Southern Railway
Southern Railway President Edward Burwell reported NSC has been expending millions of dollars upgrading track and terminals He added that much of this new surge of capital outlay was centered in the piggyback area He cited the ongoing conversion of 700 boxcars to single platform intermodal cars as an example of the trend
Burwell identified increased profitability as a critical need with the railroads intermodal business He dismissed rate increases as the only solution saying The real gains in profitability are going to come from intelligent and aggressive cost control in the way we provide service Growth and further experimentation with new equipment were Burwells two predictions for the future of piggybacking
Railroad panel discussed piggyback innovations at Atlantas intermodal Forum
Among other railroad panel speakers William Greenwood Senior Assistant Vice PresidentMarketingIntermodal for the Burlington Northern stressed sensitivity to customer needs as the key to piggyback success Im talking about marketing intermodal in response to the way our customers are managing their business through concepts such as Kanban the justintime philosophy that minimizes inventories and intransit shipment sizes while emphasizing transportation consistency and predictability he said He called on the railroads to work with their customers as they develop these new distribution concepts to help them maintain the inventory velocity that will keep them competitive
W L Thornton President of the Florida East Coast Railway whose railroad totals only 500 miles yet ranks 8th among the top 10 railroads in terms of total piggyback traffic said the reason for FECs intermodal success is service Thornton stressed that FECs intention is to provide volume wholesale transportation to all connecting traffic which the FEC places on a conveyor continuous flow of trailers up and down their corridor
Union Pacific Systems UP Don Shum Vice PresidentIntermodal said one critical element to piggybacks success is the ability to accurately monitor profits UP has instituted PMS a profit
monitoring system which will enable UP to determine costsprofits on every movement empty and loaded which will help piggyback to be a mainstay of our traffic in the 1980s according to Shum
Panelist N R Kirsch Assistant Vice PresidentIntermodal Southern Pacific Railroad reports SP is competing effectively with trucks in the short haul corridors less than 500 miles through innovative pricing and fast reliable dedicated service like SPs Sprint Train Kirsch observed that Southern Pacific had also embraced the hubtype concept saying Were concentrating on the larger ones where we can take advantage of the economies of scale
Conrail is looking to terminal mechanization and service commitment to improve its piggyback haul Senior Vice President of Marketing and Sales James Hagen reports that money back guarantees for failures to meet schedules are convincing customers that Conrail means business Weve mechanized terminals lengthened trains and are dedicated to high volume ontime service he concluded
Wednesday mornings second session examined the international side of piggyback Gene Tonsanger of Trailer Marine Transport observed that the intermodal concept afforded his firm unprecedented opportunities to maximize their container barge operations By negotiating mutually agreeable deals with the rail and motor carriers we can offer service to a variety of port cities without the need for individual expensive barge calls
SeaLand President Kenneth Johns described the impact of the recent reregulation and deregulation as they apply to the shipper He predicted the importer exporter would be the primary beneficiary of the Shipping Act of 1984 because of its provisions for independent action within conferences He also lumped the Staggers and Motor Carrier Acts under the category beneficial to the shippers concluding We are now in a position where government has stepped back to permit full development of the international intermodal systems
Documentation is a big holdup in intermodalism in the United States We have to catch up stated John W James President of the Atlantabased John S James Company He also discussed the trend within his industry toward increased hinterland activity stating In the past freight forwarders were port centered Now were moving toward interior locations paralleling the inland emphasis by the carrier sector

Within the framework of its master plan for CONTAINERPORT Savannah Georgia Ports Authority had planned to add a seventh and eighth crane in conjunction with the berth 5 project Surging volumes across the facility have led to the insertion of an additional unit into the site plan
Heading the list of factors which led to the decision to fast track a seventh crane were recent scheduling announcements by U S Lines see page 2 and Barber Blue Sea see page 40 Both carriers have designated Savannah as their South Atlantic load center and are funneling cargo through the port to and from locations throughout the southern midwest and Gulf regions
BBS and USL have amended their rotations to reduce the total number of ports called and to centralize operations in those remaining on the schedule Barber Blue Seas port consolidation revolves around the addition of their Supercarriers II to this fleet These are the largest roll onroll off vessels in the world and are ideally suited to the load center concept
Late this summer U S Lines will begin introducing its Econ vessels providing eastbound roundtheworld service These recordsize hulls will provide weekly calls to selected centerports offering over 4000 TEUs of container carrying capacity apiece A total of twelve of the new ships will be christened
The seventh crane will represent an addition to the master plan With container berth fives two cranes this will up the fleet membership to nine by the end of 1985 when the fifth berth is scheduled to become operational
Cranes 7 8 and 9 are currently out for bids toward a May 31st submission deadline The contract is expected to be awarded in midJune with unit 7 to become operational in the winter of 1985 Shortly thereafter the remaining two cranes will come onstream coincident with the total berth five project
All of the new cranes will represent the stateoftheart in container handling Base specifications remain the same and include 45 ton capacity and a 45 pick per hour rating which certainly merits the
description high speed Both out and backreach will be 114 feet providing the expeditious restowing capability which has proven so popular with many of the container lines calling the port
A port does not designate itself a load center its customers do The larger vessels currently entering the world fleet achieve their greatest operating efficiency and economy by calling a few strategically located ports and landbridging to and from a large hinterland from these load centers Recent history indicates that Savannah will be the prime South Atlantic beneficiary of the trend An additional crane and the impending startup of berth five will guarantee that the ports facility advantages match its geographic ones
Late next year container crane 6 will lose its status as the ranking member of the CONTAINERPORT Savannah fleet

Congressman Lindsay Thomas personally welcomed guests to the reception kicking off the export howto seminar which he spearheaded
I cant see how we can sustain our economic recovery if we continue to have this deep and threatening trade deficit These are the thoughts of Georgia Congressman Lindsay Thomas regarding the current trade imbalance This sentiment is what prompted him to organize a recent how to exporting conference in Savannah
Thomas moderated the mornings first panel session entitled Overview of Exporting Georgia Ports Authority Executive Director George Nichols led off first dicussing the role of his agency as a provider of physical facilities to accomodate
export shipments He noted a discouraging trend which had seen the exportimport ratio tip in favor of the latter in recent years
Nichols emphasized the need for balanced trade but warned that use of protectionistic measures to achieve it would only run consumer costs up He called for better management in government to defuse the deficit and concluded The job of government is to clear the way for the businessman to access overseas markets
The ExportImport Bank is a valuable resource for the prospective exporter and
Director Richard Heldridge was on hand to discuss its services We offer a financing plan to our exporters much like a car loan he explained He cited three basic mandates which govern the banks loan activity 1 it must be consistent with the foreign policy of the United States 2 it must not interfere with the private sector and 3 there must be reasonable hope of repayment
Weve been accused of being the Boeing Bank Heldridge commented He quickly added that much of current publicity emphasis involves letting small business know what the Exim Bank can offer it Other current thrusts include working with the OECD to assure level field competition in international trade without the destructive influence of subsidies Exim is also giving working capital loans to help small businesses manufacture a product This preexport financing is a new venture for the agency
When George Berry assumed the post of Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade he carried with him a mandate from his appointor Governor Joe Frank Harris to put the trade back in Industry and Trade Berry noted that Georgia needs to create
100000 jobs every year and cites exports as a key job development resource
We do in Georgia an absolutely poor job of export development Berry claimed He added If we would export our principal products just to the level of the national average there would be no unemployment in Georgia He sees Industrial and Trades role as advocacy Berry stated We need to let Georgia businesses know about exports We need to develop export orientation in new and existing businesses get them thinking exports from day one
A spirited question and answer session followed Richard Heldridge was asked to provide the Exim Banks definition of small business He replied that the bank utilized the Small Business Administration formula under which some 90 of US businesses qualify Congressman Thomas detailed the status of harbor improvements including widening deepening and bridge replacement
George Berry was asked what needed to be done to stimulate exports He replied In a phrase the problem is mind set The Georgia businessman does not have a mind set toward even examining his export potential He called for programs to develop this export orientation in the states business community
Against this informational backdrop the conference progressed into the key nuts and bolts segments where participants were acquainted with specific

resources and problems as they apply to their situations The approach was further finetuned by breakout of the workshops into manufacturing and agribusiness modules
Henry Absher of Deloitte Haskins and Sells chaired the manufacturers study group which kicked off with a presentation by Karen Palmour Director of the Georgia International Trade Development Center on prequalifying foreign markets Howard Johnson of the Depart
ment of Industry and Trade followed with an outline of Services Available The legal and documentary pitfalls were the subject of Bill Pooles address He is the
President of the Georgia Industry and Trade Association The International Division of the Georgia Small Business Administration dispatched Julius Toma to wrap up the session with a presentation on the dollars and cents of exporting entitled Financing the Deal

Gunn cautioned against the quick fix of protectionism which only breeds retaliation He indicated that some limited measures might find applicability in specific situations but warned The decision to erect a trade barrier is a serious one
Following his remarks Gunn was asked if any plans were afoot to eliminate the fragmented responsibility for international trade at the federal level He noted that a department of international trade and industry had been proposed He reminded the audience however that certain federal departments have a vested interest in foreign trade
After lunch a series of export success stories were presented Eric Joiner Vice President of AJC International reported that his firm did 150 million in foreign sales of food products He cited two very different reasons for export involvement stating First of all everybody needs additional business Secondly people that do business together dont fight
Eric Joiner Vice President of AJC International told his firms export success story
Joiner outlined three challenges facing the wouldbe exporter First you must understand and qualify the market give the customer what he wants he explained His second challenge was in transportation and documentation
Joiner urged close examination of inland ocean alternatives and attention to paperwork detail Challenge number three is financial according to Joiner He included everything from resources for operating funds through the collection process in this category
Allen Paulsons Gulfstream Aerospace markets its business jets internationally He sees several things that are right as far as foreign trade Generally speaking he thinks government assistance and programs for the prospective trader are substantial and improving More specifically he has experienced keen government interest in aerospace trade matters He outlined what he perceives at the key area for federal trade involvement saying We need governments continued help to solve the dollar exchange problem
The Rotary Corporations Wayne Rogers reported 26 growth in exports for his firm over the past year He proclaimed the viability of export markets markets and challenged those present to avail themselves of the governmental trade assistance programs available
Peanuts and peanut byproducts are chief among the ag exports shipped by the Alimenta Processing Company Assistant Vice President and General Manager William R Grant described his firm as a relatively new one and reported that a combination of hard work and use of government resources helped make export sales a workable program for Alimenta Grant offered three export principals Deliver a quality product demand good credit and deliver the goods intact to the customer He closed by urging businessmen to enter the export arena and sounded a call which summarized the intent of the entire program He said Exporting is not mysterious it is pure business
Congressman Thomas then took to the podium to capsule the days discussions He reminded participants that they had been made aware of a wide range of governmental resources and encouraged them to employ them Borrowing George Berrys phraseology he called for a more positive mind set toward exporting
Thomas posed the alternatives Does the federal government intervene imposing our own barriers or do we try to remove inequitable barriers imposed by other countries He opted for the latter but notedthat a unified trade policy was essential if US business is to compete internationally He called for the federal government to begin to set some objectives and to sit down with the countries we trade with to get our currencies back in line

Daty Japanese American is President of Henry I Daty Inc of New York City Born in Seattle Washington he attended the University of Washington until the beginning of World War II at which time he was interned in a detention camp in Idaho There he volunteered for the United States Army He arrived in Hokkaido Japan with the first US Occupation Forces from the Phillipines
After the war Daty worked in the Tokyo office of C T Takahashi Co Inc a Seattle Washington exportimport company He returned to the United States in 1950 and became the manager of C T Takahashi Co Inc New York branch office in 1951 Daty was instrumental in arranging U S pulp and paper
lowing the wartime destruction of the Japanese pulp and paper industry
He introduced and arranged many technical and licensing agreements with Japanese and United States paper companies The first newsprint machine installed in postwar Japan at the Oji Paper Company was arranged through Datys efforts During this period United States pulp and paper equipment from Cold Caustic Soda Mill and stock preparation equipment was sold to Japan
Also in the postwar era Daty was instrumental in supplying the first clay coater and then following up by exporting practically all the air knife coaters to Japan After this he commenced furnishing coating clay to Japan At this time only one grade of coating clay known as Edgar Bros HT Lump was available Since then Daty has represented the Minerals and Chemicals Division of Engelhard Corporation and is the single largest exporter of coating clays to Japan
In 1982 Governor George Busbee presented Daty the honorary Admiral of the Georgia Navy award for developing the Japanese market for Georgian Kaolin a type of clay mined in Georgia and used in the manufacture of coated paper He is the largest single shipper from the Port of Savannah 0

Donovan Delivers Details of Terminal Location Study
With the inevitable growth of container transport comes the need to identify optimum locations which will accommodate upcoming terminal development on the Savannah River This was the task given to the firm of BoozAllen Hamilton Inc and its Vice President of the Transportation Consulting Division Leo Donovan who recently described this study for Savannahs Propeller Club
The assignment was to determine the sites which are most appropriate in terms of mid and long term development costs while retaining the competitive advantages of the port
Leo Donovan Vice President of the Transportation Facilities Division of BoozAllen Hamilton drives home a point during his discussion of the Port of Savannah Terminal Location Study
The five month study earmarked Garden City Hutchinson Island the Seaboard Coastline SCL property the BASF property Barnwell Island Elba Island Bird Island JonesOysterbed Island and Long Island as the sites available for future expansion The first set of criteria examined in determining site suitability were 1 cost of acquisition predevelopment berth construction site improvements and turning basins 2 expansion potential 3 cost of new transportation infrastructure
Donovan stated the study concluded that from a capital point of view expansion at Garden City Terminal clearly represents the most cost effective solution for both mid and long terms Total costs of 384 million for Garden City are most reasonable when compared to 833 million for a Hutchinson Island site and 671 million for the SCL property Garden Citys costs would be considerably lower due primarily to reduced berth construction cost and turning basins already in place
Garden City also makes economic sense over the longer run However its expansion potential is limited Donovan noted Upriver properties and Elba Island have the land to accommodate 10 and 7
potential berths respectively with terminal acquisition and development costs in the 225330 million range involved
Garden City has the property potential for up to 4 new berths with acquisition and development costs of some 90 million In addition only the Garden City BASF and SCL sites currently have adequate rail and highway infrastructure The cost implications of providing new transportation systems for the remaining six sites considered would necessitate an average of 19 million of new rail and highway construction for each downriver location
Several site alternates appear reasonably priced after the capacity of Garden Citys potential is exhausted The average capital cost per berth would be higher than for Garden Citys 21 million However if cargo demands dictate additional facility construction several other sites fall within the realm of reasonability particularly the BASF property
From a shipowners perspective downriver sites such as Hutchinson Island the SCL Property and Barnwell Island are more economical given the shorter facility to open water distance However the incremental inland

transport cost to the shipper and consignee may be more of a factor than the incremental cost to the shipowner Donovan stated In this light upriver sites make economic sense from an operating cost perspective
J Donovan also discussed the impact of
location alternatives on drayage costs
which can add 20200 per container more to a shippers bill He noted that the current competitive balance that exists between Savannah and other ports could be unfavorably altered if terminal sites were situated further from inland locations rail ramps and four lane highways Any such site selection could increase inland transport rates and reduce the size of the hinterland to which Savannah now enjoys an inland cost advantage
Donovan explained that the environment truck and rail traffic and impact on historic and residential areas were other factors which were weighed during the analysis He concluded by summarizing the study Our job was to make findings available about future development in Savannah Our study indicates that our recommendations should lean toward the full development of Garden City Terminal first then the upriver site at BASF for the next century

The Cunningham Company was established in 1895 in Mobile Likewise Murray is no newcomer tracing its roots back to its founding in 1923 Their partnership arrangement in the Savannah office represents their first combined venture Sales Manager Sonny McClure indicates that it may not be the last He says We anticipate opening in Memphis and are looking at several other southeastern locations
McClure reports that Cunningham and Murrays eastward move was dictated by vessel rotations He explains We find that many of the steamship services to the Middle East Mediterranean Far East and particularly Europe are leaning toward the east coast because of the improved transit time The lines want to cycle the newer larger vessels as quickly as possible We wanted to be in the mainstream and the logical place for us to be in the South Atlantic was Savannah
McClure sees a trend whereby gulf ports general cargo activity will be centered around South America Central America and the Caribbean with the exception of some dry bulks He indicates that for commerce with Asia Africa and Europe shippers in the Gulf of Mexico area will have to look with increasing frequency to the U S Atlantic Coast The Cunningham and Murray Inc venture represents these firms response to their customers needs and their recognition of Savannah as the South Atlantic load center
Martin H Cunningham will serve as President E F Murray Jr as Vice President and I J McClure Jr as Secretary for the newly founded company The local operation will be headed by Savannah maritime veteran Suzanne K Edenfield

PILOT BOATS LEAD THE WAY
Our goal is to have a seaworthy vessel ready to go 24 hours a day This statement made by Spencer L Edleman President of Savannah Bar Pilots Inc emphasizes his organizations commitment to service
Today their fourteen pilots who make up the group known as the Savannah Pilots Association operate three boats The pilot is responsible for the inland navigation of a vessel as it moves up the Savannah River to one of GPAs facilities or private terminals The pilots responsibility for a vessel ends only when it is turned over to the docking master in the port
Savannahs third and newest pilot boat aptly named Savannah measures 60 feet in length accommodates the latest navigational equipment and cruises at an operational speed of 22 knots Two 12V71N Detroit Deisel engines with a total shaft horsepower of 980 guide vessels confidently up and down river The Savannahs 72mile radar two multichannel VHF radios digital fathometer with shallow water alarm central heating and comfortable galley merit the description ultramodern
Savannahs three pilot boats escort an average of 7075 vessels per work week The trip from their Cockspur Island facilities to the head of the channel where they board the vessels will take the Savannah V2 hour each way depending on weather and current conditions
According to Edleman burgeoning river traffic was one reason for the acquisition of the new boat He said Our average activity is expected to increase mainly due to the growth in US Lines business We are looking to add new boats and update equipment when necessary in order to provide continued excellence in pilot service
The Savannah is the newest addition to The Savannah Pilots Association obviously the Savannah Pilot Associations fleet inaugurated a youth movement in its Here the sleek craft awaits christening search for a crew for its newest boat the

When DredgeMasters International of Hendersonville Tennessee landed an Air Force contract to provide a dredge for an overseas base they had to identify a transportation package that would assure prompt safe handling and delivery From a port point of view Savannah proved to be the logical answer
The Knockdown dredge was being shipped to the USAF base in Lajes in the Azores It moved in 50 separate pieces which occupied some 30000 cubic feet Heavy lift capability was also a prerequisite for the move as individual pieces ranged upward to 53000 lbs in weight
Alvin Sherick Director of Services for DredgeMasters indicated that proximity to his firms manufacturing facility in Hendersonville was a prime consideration in the decision to ship via Savannah He added that Portuguese Lines willingness to dispatch their MV Mauricio de Oliveira to the port provided ocean trans
port on a schedule which coincided with the desired delivery time
DredgeMasters relied on the local office of Lusk Shipping to handle forwarding chores for this export move Portuguese Line is represented by Tilston Roberts in Savannah
Al Sherick right Director of Services for DredgeMasters International Inc visited Savannah to monitor export loading of his companys dredge He visited GPA offices accompanied by his local forwarder Boyd Deaux left of Lusk Shipping during a visit with GPA Director of Trade Development Richard Field
Portuguese Line vessels have been frequent visitors to the Port of Savannah over the last two years Paul Cook who manages Tilston Roberts local office indicates that the substantial cargo offerings which continue to attract the carrier could ultimately lead to a scheduled service
While the dredge components were the basis for this call they were not the only cargo loaded Cattle hides and ammunition casings in containers also appeared on the manifest On the breakbulk side airport service equipment in the form of container pallet loaders were also on the shipping list These miscellaneous cargoes were slated to be discharged in Lisbon Lexioes and Bilbao all regular stops on Portuguese Lines regular European rotation
Dockside open storage at Ocean Terminal allowed GPA gantry crane to lift DredgeMasters equipment directly from marshalling area to the MV Mauricio de Oliveira

One of the nations leading traffic consultants Fred H Tolan Seattle Washington made the Wednesday luncheon speech on The Problems and Promise of Piggyback from a Shippers Viewpoint In Tolans opinion the biggest external problem facing piggyback is the ability to compete with motor carriers on short and medium length hauls There are 10000 more trucklines essentially unregulated and overwhelmingly nonunion competing for every single piggyback and boxcar load the railroads have and every single truckload the old line truckers have emphasized Tolan He then outlined piggyback problems primarily internal to the railroads and offered solutions to help achieve the promise of future piggyback prosperity These included more shipper supplied equipment more computerization more doortoTOFCtoramp rates more through rates more shipper supplied insurance and more direct and faster piggyback service through railroad mergers and consolidations
The Wednesday afternoon session kicked off with a presentation on How Major Transportation Centers Are Gearing Up For Increased Business The Forum heard representatives from New York Chicago Atlanta and Los Angeles outline their respective efforts to improve road access clearances and community support initiatives in general for their intermodal activities
A unique feature of the twoday Forum was its onsite exposition of the latest in piggyback rolling stock trailers containers and flat cars A total of 44 corporations took part in the exhibition Representatives of five leading car manufacturers participated in the program giving slide presentations of new and improved intermodal equipment Presenters included Don Cole Director of Business and Market Planning Trailer Train Company Chicago Henry Fahl Vice PresidentCommercial RoadRail Transportation Company Greenwich Connecticut John Cooper Vice PresidentRail Division Protec Inc Atlanta and C T Thurstad Director of Inland Transportation American President Lines San Francisco

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
Reviewing our activity for the fiscal year just completed its safe to say the economic recovery is underway Nowhere was this more apparent than at CONTAINERPORT where tonnages were a third higher this year than last jumping to 225 million tons
In addition we experienced a record breakbulk year While many ports report dramatic container increases over the last decade they show the exact opposite for conventional cargoes This simply means that their old breakbulk shipments are being placed in containers In the Port of Savannah on the other hand a diversified cargo base has provided for healthy growth in both areas
An important consideration in analyzing a ports container growth potential is the amount of breakbulk cargo available for stuffing into containers In Savannah the volume of containerizable cargo as a percentage of total breakbulk is much higher than the norm a situation which is a major attraction to containership operators As more shippers and receivers embrace intermodalism the effect on Savannahs tonnages will be considerable
We expect both trends to continue rapid growth in container activity and steady increases in breakbulk volume The container revolution is not over Weve seen 20 percent increases in piggyback traffic each of the last three years More and more carriers are branching out to become total transporters handling cargo on a through basis from origin to destination This type of comprehensive transportation service is best accomplished within the framework of the intermodal system
Container berth 5 is the outcome of our marketing and planning efforts This latest addition to our impressive CONTAINERPORT complex is already under construction and will be available
for use in early 1986 The project involves a 1000 foot berth another 60 acres of paved storage and three more highspeed cranes
Construction for berth 5 will bring it onstream at approximately the time when berths 14 reach saturation Berth 4 has been with us for only two years but it is already receiving heavy use The rate of growth has exceeded projections and for this reason the CONTAINERPORT master plan is already drawn and incorporates berths six and seven
These new berths will also be located adjacent to existing CONTAINERPORT facilities Up to 14 cranes will traverse the continuous margin and rail service will be provided to each individual berth This centralized operation provides maximum efficiency in equipment deployment manpower utilization and consequently cargo and vessel turnaround If present conditions persist we may be dusting off these rough plans earlier than we had anticipated
A number of factors have contributed to the continuing surge in container traffic Deregulation of inland transportation has bred keen competition creative rate making and unprecedented cooperation among the carriers all of which make the shippers cost of doing intermodal business less expensive Shippers agents and consolidators have continued their emergence extending the advantages of containerization to an increasing number of lessthancontainerload shippers
Containerization is starting to take hold in many of the less developed nations In the past limitations in terms of port facilities inland transportation and availability of equipment dictated that movements to and from such countries could only be accomplished under the breakbulk format Now we see these nations building roads railroads and port
terminals and converting some or all of their national flag fleets to containerships In short containerization is rapidly achieving the global stature it has been destined to reach since its inception
There are several negative factors looming on the horizon A rock hard dollar curbs US export potentials complicates equipment deployment and generates a dangerous trade imbalance Economic recovery in the third world is lagging reducing overall cargo movements
Nevertheless the signs for the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick are most positive A diversified cargo base cushions against slowdowns in particular manufacturing sectors Recent designations of Savannah as South Atlantic load center by several major carriers promise increased cargo flows Finally an unparalleled combination of facilities service strategic location and transportation availability make the ports obvious choices for shippers and receivers throughout an expansive hinterland These conditions will combine to ensure that in future years as in this year we will be able to keep our Updates upbeat
As we close out this fiscal year we would like to take the opportunity to thank the shippers steamship agents stevedores steamship lines forwarders and brokers and all the other transportation companies that have joined together in an unsurpassed effort to make the ports of Savannah and Brunswick the leaders of the South Atlantic range Happy new fiscal year

he first US port of call for mJKLm the worlds number one containership on its maiden voyage was Savannah the number one South Atlantic port
United States Lines American New York christened May 31 1984 in South Korea is one of twelve jumbo vessels which are the largest containerships in the world fleet With 4482 TEUs capacity and 102500 cubic feet of breakbulk space all twelve vessels are to be built by the end of 1984
As a result of the energy crisis larger ships now call fewer ports utilizing land bridges and waterway feeders to further
distribute or consolidate commodities US Lines has reduced the number of US East Coast ports of call from eight to two for its innovative load center operations Only Savannah and New York remain on their schedule
From the vessel operators point of view cargo availability is the overwhelming consideration in selecting a load center The bend of the US East Coast makes Savannah the farthest inland port on the seaboard placing the port closer to inland sources and destinations of cargo The two rail systems and over 100 motor carriers serving Savannahs port can thus provide the desired inland connections while keeping costs at a minimum US Lines
The American New York can accommodate three of Georgia Ports container cranes with room to spare

President and Chairman William Bru said US Lines will access the entire southern half of the country through Savannah
The American New York was christened with three other vessels the New Jersey Maine and Alabama They will eventually be joined by their sisters the Virginia Kentucky Nebraska Oklahoma Illinois California Utah and Washington Each ship carries a price tag of 50 million
The ships are 950 feet long 106 feet in width Panamax the widest the Panama Canal will permit and weigh in at 57800 deadweight metric tons They will cruise at 18 knots Stateoftheart hardware includes the SATNAV satellite guidance system LoranDecca electronic navigation system autopilot short and longrange radar including automated collision avoidance systems and a satellite communication system which permits voice or telex contact to any land location or ship in the world
The American New York got its first chance to use this equipment when it departed Busan on June 17 From there she proceeded to Kaohsiung Hong Kong Kobe Yokohama and through the Panama Canal before arriving in Savannah on July 22 From here she traveled to New

Anglers at the mouth of the Savannah are now wellqualified to discuss the big one that got away
By the end of 1984 an average of five US Lines vessels a week will call Georgia Ports Authority generating an annual throughput of 15 million tons of containerized cargo Four thousand container crane hours will be required each year and stevedoring terminal and warehousing man hours are expected to reach 300000 per year Such quantities certainly warrant the description of South Atlantic load center for the Port of Savannah

Western European Container Line Inc WEC inaugurated its Savannah service recently with the calling of the MV Peter Knuppel Rounded out by its sister ship the MV Amd Becker the run will call Savannah every other Friday offering carriage capabilities for containers
Smith Kelly Co is both local agent and stevedore for the line Hapag Lloyd is general agent Mike Collins SK operations manager said not only is Savannah the only South Atlantic port for WEC it is also the last out port guaranteeing minimum ocean transit for outbound cargoes The only other US port of call is New York A stop in Canada will round off the northern leg of the voyage Foreign ports of call include
Haiti Jamaica Barbados and Trinidad
Built in 1977 the German nationality Peter Knuppel is owned by Shiffahrtskontor Hans Hermann Knuppel KG Over 98 meters in length and 16 meters in breadth the vessel features a bow thruster and an operating speed of 145 knots Twenty reefer points are provided for temperaturesensitive cargo The ship has capacity for 300 TEUs The inaugural shipment consisted of about 40 containers on the 4413 dwt vessel
Bill Covert general traffic and sales manager at Smith Kelly said bookings for the vessel surpassed projections He
The Peter Knuppel and the Amd Becker discharge containers at their South Atlantic centerport Savannah
noted commitments look good for vessel two also We expect to fill Savannahs allocations before the next ship arrives he said
Covert said the base cargoes for the WEC line are paper products and linerboard He also sees future volumes in food products float glass poultry toilet preparations and fabrics Covert compared costs for transportation of linerboard through both Savannah and Miami He explained that while ocean freight costs may be somewhat less from Miami to the Caribbean they are more than offset by inland transportation savings using Savannah which is one of the reasons Savannah was chosen as WECs South Atlantic port of call

SAVANNAH FOREIGN TRADE
ZONE
Money in the bank That is the essential benefit a Foreign Trade Zone offers businessmen be they shippers or consignees By utilizing such a facility payments of duty can be delayed until the product enters the US Customs territory Thus operating capital is available longer and bank accounts need not be depleted
A number of other advantages also accrue through the Zone enabling the transporter to minimize costs and maximize efficiency
Authorized by Congress in 1934 Foreign Trade Zones were designed to entice economic activity into the US Until 1970 however there were only nine zones The number rose to 58 between 1970 and 1980 and has nearly doubled since then There are now 107 Foreign Trade Zones

with 21 applications pending At number 104 Savannahs is one of the newest
Over 1500 businesses presently enjoy the rewards of working within Foreign Trade Zones which allow them to store their goods until favorable market conditions prevail goods are tested for quality assembly or modification can be completed or present quota limitations
can be met Other benefits include roundtheclock protection and reduced worry because of less labeling and documenting problems which often generate fines Savings also result from the disposal of substandard goods before paying of duty and the avoidance of insuring duty payments In addition there is no statute of limitations in a Foreign Trade Zone Goods can be manipulated displayed auctioned or sold in an FTZ without duty or excise tax If imported goods are reexported duties may be avoided altogether
The key is cash flow explained Don Fishero deputy director for business development at the Savannah Airport Commission He said the idea is not to

beat the duty but merely to allow the businessperson to keep money in the bank until inland shipment That way capital wont be tied up in duties before a product can be sold
Savannahs Foreign Trade Zone No 104 was approved this spring The Zone is essentially several pieces of property consisting of 121 acres of Georgia Ports Authority land 6000 sq ft of the Savannah International Airports cargo building located along the runway and 25 acres of land adjacent to the runway A boundary modification application is being processed expanding the sites to provide additional service facilities
Currently leasing at 561sq ft per year the cargo building space consists of two 3000 sq ft bays layed out for ease of adaptation and maintenance About 9000 sq ft of office space is available and three
Don Fishero deputy director for business development at the Savannah Airport Commission is working hard to build a productive Foreign Trade Zone
more bays could easily be established as FTZ property Built in 1983 the structure was designed by Architects Wurz Wisecarver and Pruett
The FTZ land adjacent to the runway is divided into three parcels The smallest is 261 acres which Fishero said would be ideal for a small assembly operation with a
20000 sq ft building and employee parking lot Two more parcels one 788 acres and the other 1430 acres could accommodate much larger businesses with up to 500 employees Fishero emphasized that up to 200 acres can be made available quickly as client needs dictate It is a matter of boundary modification he said which usually takes four to six weeks This land would be appropriate for an industrial park or portrelated properties especially since it is less than three miles from GPA facilities
Savannahs Foreign Trade Zone less than three miles from GPA facilities is served by two railroads two interstate highways and two state highways A subzone is located on Garden City Terminal
AnchorAge

Nine thousand square feet of office space are available to various Foreign Trade Zone tenants to modify as their needs demand
Fishero who is also a member of the National Association of Foreign Trade Zones Board of Directors and chairman of the Foreign Trade Zones Operating Committee said the FTZ concept is ideal for businesses such as heavy equipment textile machinery electronic components air conditioners and automobile parts In fact anyone who wants to import parts add US parts and export or distribute domestically can benefit from a Foreign Trade Zone
In early 1982 the Savannah Airport Commission SAC recognized the appropriateness of a Foreign Trade Zone in Savannah and began the process of organizing and identifying property An application was then prepared and submitted by the SAC subsequent grantee and operator of FTZ 104 Fishero emphasized the accomplishments of Bob Harman chairman of the SAC Don Harwood vice chairman of the SAC and committee chairman for the FTZ committee within the SAC and Eldon E Dave Davidson executive director of the SAC who he said got us way ahead of the game
Several federal agencies are involved in the review of FTZ applications The Department of Commerce administers the program The Department of Treasury through US Customs controls the program And the US Department of Army through the Corp of Engineers controls the structures on FTZ properties Following application review by these agencies an extensive public hearing was held by the executive secretary of the FTZ Board The FTZ Board then reviewed the entire proceedings before authorization US Secretary of Commerce Malcolm Baldridge approved Foreign Trade Zone No 104 on April 18 1984 Fishero said the zone will be operated as a utility thereby minimizing costs to zone users Tariffs are available upon request
Fisheros target audiences are arranged in concentric circles around Savannah He
Dave Davidson executive director of the Savannah Airport Commission has been involved in the development of FTZ 104 since the beginning
said the likelihood of success increases with the proximity to the Zone Potentials include industries and products within the area supporters of these businesses and businesses along the corridor to Atlanta A zonetozone transfer may also be developed between Savannah and Atlanta In addition Fishero looks forward to about 350 solicitations of trade and professional agencies and industrial leads which he has developed over the years We have several hot prospects he said
Fishero stressed the importance of economic development facilitated by a Foreign Trade Zone He referred to it as a magnet effect saying If you get the right tenant youll probably attract another and another Foreign Trade Zones can help stimulate growth of an area and attract new international traderelated business providing employment and salaries for houses cars etc To those who worry that a Foreign Trade Zone hurts the economy by avoidance of duty payments Fishero merely smiles and notes that revenues generated will more than offset those foregone saying The taxes are going to come in

Subway Through Savannah
No Savannah is not getting a new mass transit system Six subway cars were recently discharged at GPAs Garden City Terminal Bound for the MARTA transportation system in Atlanta the cars were shipped from Kudamatsu Japan on Toko Lines Regent Tampopo
Each car which weighed 41000 lbs was lifted via Georgia Ports Authority gantry crane onto rail cars waiting on the dock Precise placement of the subway car
Lifted via GPA gantry crane MARTA subway cars had to be placed within a 3 mm specification onto rail cars bound for Atlanta
on the rail car was imperative to accommodate the unloading in Atlanta The beam jack method of discharging the cars allowed only 3 mm of lateral clearance
E L Mobley Inc was the customs broker and agent for the importer Richard E Mobley president said eight more cars will be transported through Savannah in August and another eight in September Mobley said the cars were manufactured in Japan under a joint venture between Hitachi and CItoh He expects about two more months of assembly work in Atlanta before the cars are operational
Local agents for the Panamanianflag vessel were Stevens Shipping and Terminal Co Mobley explained that while the original contract was between MARTA and the manufacturer five or six levels of facilitators were required to ensure a successful shipment

The largest shipment of bagged cargo in the history of Brunswick crossed the docks in the port recently Approximately 315 thousand tons of chicken feed ingredients bound for Iraq were processed by MidSouth Feeds at their facility Feedport USA on Georgia Ports Authoritys East River Terminal
The threepart shipment which moved aboard the vessels MV Alkaios Alma and Kalliopi totalled 570930 bags weighing 50 kilos apiece Woodward and Dickerson was the trading company for the deal John S James the forwarder and Brunswick Ship Agency the agent
Operating a feed mill in East Rivers Transit Shed I MidSouth Feeds is a production manufacturer of various animal and poultry feeds The facility is completely automated and computer controlled employing only one employee regularly two more when manufacturing
An unprecedented volume of bagged cargo over 31 thousand short tons was recently export loaded in the Port of Brunswick Three vessels including the MV Kalliopi above were required to carry the cargo
Marine Port Terminals provided the bagging and stevedoring for this shipment
Elton Chapman president of MidSouth said annual throughput is about 150000 tons The port location gives the company unprecedented efficiency by the consolidation of processing and marshalling phases onsite giving the company a tremendous economic advantage
Chapman said the raw materials for this shipment originated throughout the Midwest and South We draw ingredients from everywhere he said further explaining why Brunswick GA is such an ideal answer to their needs The location of Brunswick allows us to
purchase from a very large area he said

charged in New Orleans by the Seabee mothership utilizing the shipboard elevator This method contrasts with the traveling crane utilized under the LASH concept The barges then traversed the TriRivers System to Bainbridge
The movement from Germany to Macon was handled with a through bill of lading including storage required in Bainbridge and trucking of the freight to Macon by Midwestern Distribution out of Joplin Missouri

YEAR IN REVIEW
Fiscal 1984 proved to be a banner year for general cargo in the Port of Savannah In last years Update we predicted that FY84 might prove to be our first 2000000 ton year for containerized cargo A strong surge during the third and fourth fiscal quarters made that forecast look conservative as tonnages exceeded the 225 million mark This record total represented a jump of 560000 tons over the previous standard set last year for an increase of 33 percent
At the end of the last reporting period monthly breakbulk figures began to reflect the improving health of the economy The trend continued throughout FY84 and closing totals showed a record year for this sector as well The new benchmark was just over 18 million tons
While many ports can point to increases in container tonnages throughout the intermodal era growth in the breakbulk sector during the same period is uncommon In most instances additional container traffic has come in the form of stuffing traditional breakbulk cargoes into containers Savannah on the other hand has continued to show growth in both areas over the last decade The ports diversified cargo base includes a large amount of equipment steel forest products and other commodities which for reasons of size handling requirements etc do not lend themselves to containerization The Underway section of this update discusses expansion programs which reflect our conviction that the trend will continue
A number of commodities
contributed heavily to the record year for breakbulks On the import side steel burlap copper machinery and rubber all showed substantial gains Outbound shipments of chemicals foodstuffs machinery granite forest products and PL480 cargoes exceeded FY83 totals by significant margins
Liquid bulks rebounded from disappointing levels last fiscal year rising 21 percent from 700000 to
845000 tons This jump came despite a
200000 ton drop in imports of petrochemicals brought on by a combination of domestic conservation efforts and plentiful reserves The slack was taken up by sharp increases in shipments of anhydrous ammonia where activity more than tripled with figures jumping from FY83 levels of
110000 tons to 1984s 360000 Tall oil up 58000 tons and molten sulfur up
21000 tons also helped offset the lag in shipments of petroproducts
A rockhard dollar is having a predictable and serious effect on U S exports and activity at GPAs dry bulk facility demonstrated the impact On the grain side growing conditions and the PaymentInKind program further limited export potentials The net result was a drop of over half a million tons in shipments of soybeans and winter wheat
The picture for minerals was considerably brighter Bulk clay movements increased 37 percent and shipments of urea tripled adding another 40000 tons to the coffers Overall dry bulks dropped 375000 tons to a still sizable handle of 910000 tons
Much of the incremental tonnage for the year moved aboard vessels belonging to the fourteen steamship

In their first full year of operation container berth four and the expanded cold storage facility contributed significantly to the new tonnage milestones reached Further diversification of the steamship portfolio produced a similar effect However the majority of new business came from increased utilization of existing services and facilities reflecting Savannahs fast growing popularity among shippers receivers and carriers alike
Underway
As the JulyAugust issue of Anchor Age goes to press the first phase of the slip one revitalization project at Ocean Terminal is being completed By the end of August GPA will begin utilizing berth 13 This new addition comprises an 1100 x 200 foot berth The extrawide margin provides ease of handling for steel machinery and other outsized cargoes as well as the rail cars and trucks which must pick up and deliver them Dual marginal rail tracks run dockside permitting directtovessel loading and unloading
For vessels requiring heavy lift capability to augment ships gear the existing gantry crane tracks have been extended to the new berth This will permit crane service by Ocean Terminals fleet of four gantries ranging in individual capacities from 50 to 175 tons Tandem lifts of up to 275 tons can be accomplished
The remainder of the project consists of the constructionrefurbishing of the
565000 square feet of transit space which will back up berth 13 In addition some 235000 square feet of paved open storage will cover the area formerly occupied by slip one The 18 million undertaking will be completed in November of this year

berthing nearly two million square feet of protected storage 120 acres of open storage and five gantry cranes
Eventually all Georgia Ports Authority breakbulk operations in Savannah will be located at Ocean Terminal This strategy accomplishes two things first it permits centralized handling accountability and equipment and manpower utilization at a single site and secondly it permits further expansion of CONTAINERPORT
Container berth 4 came to be when completed warehouse construction at Ocean Terminal facilitated conversion of obsolete warehousing at Garden City The same process is now producing berth 5
Demolition of 60 acres of World War I vintage warehousing is already underway The site will be used to construct a 1000 foot berth immediately adjacent to existing CONTAINERPORT facilities It will be backed up by 60 acres of paved open storage Plans take into account the increasing level of piggyback activity and call for the emplacement of seven rail sidings at CB5 Three new straddle cranes will augment the field equipment fleet Berth hardware is designed to accommodate both side and quartering ramp RoRo vessels The 23 million project will take 20 months to complete
Dockside three new cranes will patrol the margins A 9 million contract for the three units has already been let and they will actually be available for use along berths 14 prior to the completion of number 5
CONTAINERPORT in early 1986 It will comprise five berths measuring 4675 lineal feet 240 acres of storage yard nine high speed cranes 200000 square feet of transit space two interchanges totalling 22 lanes and a
68000 square foot cold storage facility backed up by 198 slots for refrigerated containers It is significant that these extensive facilities are centered at one
location making it easy for Savannahs maritime professionals to track and move the boxes The bottom line for the shipper and carrier is speed and reliability in container handling
Down the Road
There is every reason to believe that growth is a permanent condition in the Port of Savannah Announcements of two new and two expanded steamship services in the JulyAugust issue of Anchor Age indicate that carrier interest in the port remains keen Facility improvements must of course keep pace
Container berths six and seven are already in the design stage These will be located immediately downriver from number five Given the size of the marshalling yard when berth five is completed Georgia Ports Authority can build the 1200 foot sixth berth and erect additional cranes without the necessity of expanding paved storage This will permit the fast tracking of the next dock increment when warranted by vessel activity
With container tonnages up onethird and a record breakbulk year Savannah certainly solidified its status as leading foreign commerce port on the South Atlantic during 1985 Sixty million dollars in ongoing construction will assure that the growing list of shippers and carriers wanting to use the port will not be disappointed Fourteen new or expanded steamship services will add to the shippers water transportation choices A dozen new maritime service entities and motor carriers were added to Savannahs port directory during FY84
The ingredients which produce Savannahs continuing success facilities and cost competitive service remain the same Its just that every year the portions have to be increased to handle our growing ranks of hungry customers

TriRivers
YEAR IN REVIEW
Before this year activity levels at GPAs barge terminals on the TriRivers system did not warrant explanation in the Update The relocation of rock obstructions in the lower Apalachicola River has dramatically changed the situation Prior to the project estimates for cargoes traversing the ApalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint River ACF network in the year 2030 were 1 million tons With the 95 percent availability of nine feet of water now in effect the projection has been upped to 437 million tons
GPA is already well on its way toward making those projections come true Since the completion of the
relocation four new shippers have begun utilizing the two berth facility at Bainbridge Allied Fibers and Plastics utilized the terminal to move the fertilizer ingredient ammonium sulfate The Sifto Salt Division of Domtar Industries is conducting distribution operations through Bainbridge Sifto will distribute the product to industrial users throughout a four state area including Georgia Florida South Carolina and Alabama Polyvinyl chloride for floor covering is a new cargo moving through destined for Dyka Inc in Macon Georgia More recently export shipments of com screenings destined for a Far Eastern buyer have begun crossing the docks
TRIRIVERS
Removal of rock obstructions in the TriRivers system has generated bristling activity at Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge below and Columbus barge terminals
Georgia Ports Authoritys Columbus terminal is located on the Chattahoochee River Like the Bainbridge site it offers dock space for two barges as well as protected and open storage The extra ingredient at Columbus is a liquid bulk tank storage farm which was the attraction for its newest tenant Burris Chemical Company has leased four tanks for use in its liquid caustic soda distribution network End users in Georgia Alabama and Florida will receive up to
8000 tons of the product each year Customers will come primarily from the textile pulp and paper water treatment and chemical production industries
The headline for the November December 1983 AnchorAge article
detailing the rock relocation project was Water Begets Traffic Early returns for Georgia Ports two terminals indicate that the removal of the navigation obstruction is already producing the desired effect
The job of marketing the newly accessible waterways has now begun in earnest The TriRivers Association an industrialtrade development entity and GPA have joined forces to commission a marketing study to target businesses and industries and specific customers within them for solicitation The industrialagriculturalpopulation centers surrounding the TriRivers basin should provide ample resources to make the sales process a successful one

BRUNSWICKCOLONELS ISLAND
YEAR IN REVIEW
For the second consecutive year volumes for Georgia Ports Authoritys East River Terminal hovered around the half million ton mark While figures were off slightly 35000 tons they remained well above the 250000 ton level reached as recently as fiscal year 1981 Marked changes in several commodities combined to produce this second busiest year in the terminals history
Fertilizer ingredients sugar and woodpulp were the three groups experiencing the sharpest drop combining for a 150000 ton decline Cushioning the blow were gypsum rock up 58000 tons land plaster up 24000 meals and feeds up 15000 and evaporated salt up 11000 Commodities manifested across the East River for the first time this year included the salt gypsum rock calcium ammonium nitrate and zircon sand
The skyline at the terminal changed rather dramatically during the year with the completion of bulk warehouse III The 180 x 366 foot structure encompasses nearly 70000 square feet of storage space for import dry bulks Like buildings I and II the new edition is of laminated wood arch construction and features movable bin walls to accommodate all sizes of cargo parcels It is served by an extension to the existing 500tonperhour conveyor which connects to the ship unloader dockside
The threemember bulk warehouse contingent at the East River Terminal comprises 180000 square feet and can house up to 180000 tons of product at one time Additional dry bulk marshalling areas were paved during FY84 upping open storage capacity to several hundred thousand tons
In summary the cargo handle for East River in FY 1984 remained relatively stable While volumes of certain cargo staples dropped sharply
the good news is that new listings on the commodity report helped offset the losses As shipments of traditional Brunswick cargoes return to normal the addition of these new movements will produce a return to solid growth The third bulk warehouse provides increased flexibility to accommodate an expanding cargo portfolio The projects detailed below will produce two complete new terminals and uprecedented growth for the Port of Brunswick
Underway
With the purchase last year of the former city dock property Georgia Ports Authority received an unanticipated resource for future terminal development As of this Update the future is now

in full swing The 145 million project includes construction of 1000 feet of new dock space It will adjoin 500 feet of existing wharf to produce three berths Margins will measure a spacious 55 feet in width providing plenty of room for a 35 ton gantry crane to flex its heavy lift muscle
Initial plans called for construction of a 135000 square foot transit shed
Later the decision was made to forego expansion of Tshed I at the East River Terminal in favor of a larger building at Mayors Point The redrawn plans now call for a 235000 square foot building
It will feature platform height truck and railcar loadingunloading The building will be well lit fully sprinklered and offer ease of maneuverability for handling equipment working inside Eave heights of 26 feet assure that cargo can be stacked to the maximum limits accessible by lift trucks consistent with load and safety limitations for the individual cargoes
Not all of the 17acre site will be covered by the newly constructed facilities Another five acres will remain to provide open storage for lumber small bulk parcels equipment or any other breakbulk items not requiring warehousing
Channel depth to the 1500 foot dock is 27 feet with dredging work to the new facility already complete Berthing areas will be maintained with a two foot overdredge at 29 feet An average tide variation of 73 feet further increases the size of vessels which may access Mayors Point
In terms of untapped potential Georgia Ports Authoritys greatest raw resource is Colonels Island Located a few miles from the East River and Mayors Point terminals the 2200 acre island is a combination deepwater industrial park with a rare combination of advantages
It is one of the few sites on the US east coast offering deepwater sites with

BRUNSWICKCOLONELS ISLAND

Calcium ammonium nitrate was one of the first commodities stored in the new bulk warehouse at Brunswicks East River Terminal
spent nearly 4 million to dredge a channel from the existing East River waterway to the bluff at the northern end of the island With this access in place up to six berths can be constructed for various industrial and transportation applications In addition river access to the rear of Colonels Island makes sites there wellsuited to barge operations These become even more attractive in view of the short 5 2 mile trip to the intracoastal waterway
The first facility to employ the newfound deepwater access to Colonels Island is already under construction Georgia Ports Authoritys multiproduct dry bulk complex is scheduled for completion in April of 1985 The 32 million undertaking will ultimately add 15 million tons annually to throughput totals for the Port of Brunswick
Bulk cargoes will arrive at the facility by both rail and truck Arriving railcars can be marshalled in storage yards offering a 600car capacity In addition two rail loops capable of holding the unit trains common to bulk shipments circle the facility
Each of two dual rail car unloaders will be capable of dumping two standard 4750 cubic foot 62 foot long bottomdump hopper cars simultaneously Pit number one will receive edible and inorganic materials at rates up to 2250 tons per hour based on 100 lb per cubic foot material Among the commodities expected to be handled thru rail unloader 1 are Fullers earth bauxite sand leucoxene feeds glutens peanuts sugar corn soybeans meals and wheat
Rail pit number 2 can receive corrosive and noncontaminable materials such as bauxite Fullers earth sands leucoxene phosphate rock urea prills ammonium sulfate and diacalcium phosphate Functioning at an identical 2250 tph rate pit 2 will normally transfer product direct to ship bypassing conveyor and storage areas
BRUNSWICKCOLONELS ISLAND
Bulk warehouse III adds 70000 tons of storage capacity to the East River Terminal
However product can be moved from this location to the storage buildings as well
Conveying systems are designed so that several simultaneous operations are possible Materials can move from pit no 1 or the truck dump at the same time cargo is being reclaimed from flat storage Also product can be directly transferred to a ship from pit 2 while pit number 1 is receiving material by truck or rail
Each rail receiving pit will be equipped with steel selfcleaning hoppers Multiple discharge gates will permit controlled loading of receiving belt conveyors under the pits to assure a constant flow without overloads Pneumatic railcar gate openers will be provided at both locations
A truck dump with an integrated scale will provide for highly efficient truck receiving The 60 x 10 foot platform will tilt to 60 degrees to rear unload units weighing up to 60 tons The receiving area will be enclosed and equipped with bifold doors to eliminate any fugitive dust during truck discharge operations
From the three dump pits product is conveyed to the transfer tower from which it can be directed to flat storage or the shipping system At the flat storage building a conveyor running
along the underside of the roof feeds two movable spouts which are positioned over the desired storage location The spouts telescope to reduce product damage due to falling These systems will place cargo in storage at a rate of 2250 TPH
The flat storage building measures 750 x 180 feet for a total area of
135000 square feet A total of six separate bays are provided for cargo segregation The structure is of sufficient size to permit loading of a large vessel with a single commodity A dustproof divider will separate edible and nonedible products
When vessels arrive for loading a 2000 tonperhour scraper reclaimer will retrieve product from storage and place it on a conveyor running to the transfer tower There the material is discharged onto a transfer belt conveyor which will move product from flat storage or rail receiving to a 600 ton surge bin The bin will have capacity equivalent to 15 minutes operating time of the shiploader The surge bin will permit continuous loading despite interruptions in reclaimer operations or railcar discharge and will continue to accept reclaimed product while the shiploader is being shifted A remote controlled proportioning gate will control the flow rate to the waterfront A sampler and

scale system are located atop the surge bin to meet all Federal Grain Inspection Service requirements
The dock measures 580 feet in length and is served by a 2400 tph travelling shiploader The unit shuttles to a maximum outreach of 94 feet A telescoping chute carries product down into the hold where a spoon disperses it assuring a level fill throughout the loading process
A computerized control system will be utilized to direct the total activity of the Colonels Island dry bulk facility Two color graphic terminals in the main control building will be utilized to direct flow paths In addition the system continuously monitors all machinery and provides instantaneous electronic notification of any problems
Down the Road
Additional paving of open storage at East River will complete planned expansion of that terminal The remaining open space at the facility could accommodate construction of additional warehousing should cargo demands warrant At Mayors Point the five acres of land remaining after project completion would be available for similar purposes Georgia Ports Authority continuously monitors the Brunswick real estate market to identify potential sites along the East River which might become available for purchase as was the case with Mayors Point
The master plan for the Colonels Island bulk facility incorporates considerable expansion capability Phase I rail and unloading systems will easily accommodate a sixfold increase in flat storage as well as addition of siloage GPA expects to be in the second phase in the near futiire with the doubling in size of the flat storage building
Waterside the northern bluff of Colonels Island has enough space for up to six more deepwater berths A
number of barge sites are also available Ultimately port officials believe enough activity can be generated with a 30 foot channel depth to cost justify further deepening of the entire Brunswick channel system to a minimum of 36 feet
As an industrial site Colonels Island holds considerable promise as well There are many industries which do not require a dockside location but which still import and export The inland side of Colonels Island provides such industrial tenants with an excellent opportunity to eliminate hefty inland transportation bills
The 500000 tons of cargo handled across GPAs Brunswick facilities each of the last two years represent a lofty new standard When Colonels Island cranks up late in FY 1985 the very short lifespan of that record will be over The following fiscal year the considerable throughput of Mayors Point will be added to the total and record tonnages will become an annual event
Location inland connections facilities and the personalized service afforded by an uncongested port are the factors which are putting the Port of Brunswick on the international map Ambitious construction plans and a concentrated carefully targeted marketing effort will assure that the dot on that map becomes increasingly larger

and Korea Over 6000 long tons of steel were manifested from Japan to Savannah on the Sanko Eagle and a similar amount of lumber made the trip from Vancouver British Columbia to Savannah on the Sanko Moon Strachan Shipping Co was the local agent for both ships and stevedore for the Sanko Eagle while Southeast Atlantic Cargo SEACO stevedored for the Sanko Moon
Ed Manucy operations manager at Strachan said two or three Sanko Line ships can be expected to discharge import cargo at Georgia Ports Authority terminals each month
The Port of Savannah recently welcomed two new Sanko Line ships the first few of 110 ships sailing out of various Japanese shipyards The Sanko Eagle and the Sanko Moon are representative of the 48 ships to be produced this year The remainder will become operative next year
While the fleet includes a few variations the majority share similar specifications Dead weight tonnage is somewhere between 25000 and 39000 length overall is between 590 and 600 feet and four 2 5ton cranes grace the deck of each ship A crew of about 24 will support each captain Seventy out of the 110 ships will be of the same class the remainder will be specialized vessels such as car carriers
Cliff Jagoe operations manager for Sanko Kisen USA Corp said the Sanko Line will consistently serve the Far East steel trade in Japan and Korea and the forest products trade in the Phillipines
Steel imported from Japan was discharged recently by the Sanko Eagle one of several new ships refreshing the Sanko fleet

EXPORT FINANCING FOCUSES ON
SMALL
BUSINESS
An Export Finance Seminar in Atlanta presented by Georgia Senator Mack Mattingly and the ExportImport Bank of the US attracted about 200 attendees the largest gathering of over 20 Eximbank seminars around the country
A corporation wholly owned by the US government the Eximbank is chartered to encourage and supplement the private financing of US export sales Until recently the bank was largely involved with Fortune 500 companies This focus was extended when Senator Boschwitz from Minnesota joined Senator Mattingly in getting legislation passed requiring the Eximbank to allocate a portion of its loans to small business
Senator Mattinglys feelings on the issue came across during his opening remarks at the seminar I strongly believe that the American small business community has the potential to significantly increase the export base of our country he said The US Department of Commerce estimates that at least 20000 businesses in our country could export but do not small business can and must export
Mattingly addressed the many questions facing small business exporters including where to go to learn how to export how to identify export markets for specific goods where to obtain adequate financing and how to maintain an export sale He suggested the Eximbank with 340 employees and other resource agencies discussed at the seminar have the answers
W Garrett Boyd special assistant to the vice chairman of Eximbank explained that
One of those providing insight into the programs offered small and medium sized businesses for export financing was James E Yonge director and member for small business of Eximbanks Board of Directors
the bank offers two services export financing and credit risk protection Relatively new the working capital guarantee program provides working capital assistance to small businesses before they need financing for export sales Assuming certain requirements are met such as reasonable assurance of repayment exportrelated activity and a previous loan attempt from a commercial bank
Eximbank will guarantee loans that would not be made commercially without the guarantee The term of the loan will generally range from one month to one year security must have a minimum value of 110 percent compared with commercial banks 200 percent requirement and 90 percent of the loan will be guaranteed to the bank Eximbank charges a onetime upfront fee
Three other Eximbank programs are available to assist the exporter with financing The export credit insurance program provides protection against the risk that the foreign purchaser will not pay The commercial bank guarantee program insures against nonpayment by foreign purchasers on mediumterm export loans extended by US commercial banks Eximbanks small business credit program enables US banks to offer mediumterm fixed rate export loans to finance sales of US companies products Interest rates are fixed at the lowest level permitted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development OECD guidelines Boyd explained that the only program involving repayment by the domestic exporter is the working capital guarantee program
Eximbanks working capital guarantee program is very similar to the US Small Business Administrations export revolving line of credit program James E Yonge director and member for small business of Eximbanks Board of Directors said they are in fact hoping to consolidate applications He explained that the SBA

might handle applications for loans up to 200000 Eximbank would handle those for over 1 million Anywhere in between they would split the risk Clarence Barnes a
director of the SBA district office in Atlanta agreed saying a memorandum of understanding between SBA and Eximbank is in the works A
SBA Regional International Trade Officer Julius Toma explained the export revolving line of credit program which provides shortterm financing capital and is designed to be a flexible financing mechanism for the small business exporter
Eligibility depends on SBA qualification as small being in business for at least twelve months and the participation of a private lender 1
E Star Award Presented Georgia State University
Georgia State University was recently awarded the Presidential E Star designation presented by Georgia Senator Mack Mattingly by the authority of the President of the United States GSU President Noah Langdale Jr attended the luncheon gathering of the Eximbank seminar to accept the award honoring continued excellence in exporting

DISCIPLESHIP TO MERCHANT MARINE
The blessing of the merchant marine fleet is an annual event in Savannah guided by Port Chaplain the Rev Mario Balbi As he boarded his discipleship Father Mario as he is familiarly known explained that he would sail past the ships sprinkle them with holy water and give the blessing see below We go to them they dont go to us he said
In 1977 Father Mario proposed to the Savannah chapter of the Propeller Club that they sponsor this Blessing of the Fleet They did and the rest is history Each year he gathers various ecumenical members of the community This year he was joined by the Rev Reginald Gunn of St Thomas Episcopal Church and Pastor Merle L Hill of Garden City United Methodist They convened on Jerry Hogans boat Hogan is both president of the local Propeller Club chapter and president of M J Hogan and Co Inc
As Port Chaplain Father Mario is noticeably active in visiting the ships at port to let the sailors know theyre not alone He utilizes his fluency in seven languages to communicate directly with the men Father Mario also keeps busy with civic activities on both the national and local level He serves the National Catholic Conference for Seafarers as the
president of port chaplains in the US As a member of Savannahs Propeller Club he is cochaplain and heads up the clubs annual maritime essay contest committee
Blessing of a Ship
Lord be well disposed to our prayers and by your holy hand bless this ship and its seafarers as you were pleased to let your blessing hover over Noahs Ark in the deluge Reach out your hand to them Lord as you did to blessed Peter as he walked upon the sea
Send your holy angel from on high to watch over it and all on board to ward off any threat of disaster and to guide its course through calm waters to the desired port
Then after a time when they have successfully transacted their business may you in your loving providence bring them back with glad hearts to their own country and home
We ask this of you who live and reign forever and ever
Amen

Bankers were represented at the seminar by James R Cassady vice president and manager of the ExportImport Division at Citizens and Southern Bank and Thomas P Rideout president of Savannah Bank Trust Co Both recognized world market problems and admitted to regional banks conservative posture borne out of past experience Cassady stressed that the banks can work however by being more realistic He said much more analysis needs to be conducted into the political and economic conditions in the country as well as the foreign purchasers company Rideout agreed adding that many opportunities and programs exist for the banks to help utilizing the abovementioned programs The final step both concurred is for the regional banks to make the availability of the services known to the end user ie the prospective buyer
The seminar concluded with a handson session led by Yonge Boyd and Kenneth Tinsley Eximbank loan officer By going over and comparing cases and asking questions attendees were able to walk away with a more complete understanding of the financial assistance available to small business exporters

PERSPECTIVE
Transportation is an industry of motion not only in terms of the cargo and people it moves but also in an internal sense It responds to forces ranging from currency exchange to weather to road construction to production scheduling to global economics This continually changing picture is what makes the science of logistics so exacting The traffic and transportation manager must place keeping abreast of this constant change high on his list of professional priorities
This years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference provides an excellent educational opportunity for our registrants At the request of some of our past participants the program has been expanded to include a Wednesday afternoon workshop This session entitled The Computer in Cargo Expediting will examine the explosion of data processing applications in the transportation sector The highlyqualified panel will reinforce its remarks with a practical demonstration of one of the countrys most sophisticated port computer nets Savannahs COBRA system
The remaining work sessions will follow the highly successful format of
the last two years The four speakers remarks will be followed by responses from each of four fixed panellists representing a crosssection of the shipping and transportation sectors
This arrangement has proven highly effective in presenting all sides of each issue and stimulating audience participation In fact one of the trade journalists who regularly covers our conference commented that the volume of worthwhile information presented was almost more than he could record
Without rehashing completely the conference program a quick review reveals that the topics are as diverse as they are timely Further Savannahs international reputation as a bustling growth port has made it possible for us to attract an impressive lineup of industry pros
The success which Georgias ports have experienced in recent years would have been impossible without a firm commitment to internationalism in our state government That emphasis is carried forth with our new Governor Joe Frank Harris who will be the keynote speaker for our Wednesday luncheon His presence testifies at once that the State of Georgia appreciates the
importance of international trade and is prepared to make and meet the financial and service commitments to attract it
The final ingredient which makes our conference special is the opportunity it affords to start new friendships and rejuvenate old ones The careful balance between program and free time is no accident Certainly our three days allow time to hear interpret and discuss a wealth of professional information But time is also reserved to relax among peers to exchange ideas and to share the comradery of the international trade sector
When we send you back we want you inspired so you can put to best use what you have learned during our conference For you first timers we are certain that after your first experience you will want to make the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference an annual habit For our longtime participants welcome back

railroads existing fleet of fast through trains that go on to all major points in the South and Southeast and north into the Chicago area Seaboard officials stated
The accelerated Atlanta departure schedule will also expedite shipments throughout the entire CSX Corporation system of which Seaboard is a part The CSX provides shippers with a singlesystem network to meet their needs for most major destinations in the entire eastern part of the United States It comprises 27000 miles of trackage in 21 states and parts of Canada
Seaboard Vice President for Marketing and Planning Charles McCormack echoes Sanborns optimism We think well very quickly reach 25 or 30 flatcars per train
Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris seated right and Richard Sanborn of the Seaboard System Railroad field questions from a media corps eager to learn more about the railroads newly announced overnight Atlanta to Savannah express trains and facility improvements
The Seaboard and Chessie rail systems combine to provide single line connections across 27000 miles of trackage between Savannah arid the entire eastern half of tire country
If the names of the cities in our headline appear a little close together there is good reason At a recent press conference and luncheon Seaboard System Railroad President and Chief Executive Officer Richard D Sanborn made an announcement which from a transportation point of view has brought Savannah and Atlanta closer together than ever before He said We are going to start a new expedited allpiggyback and container train between Savannah and Atlanta This will be the first regularly scheduled overnight intermodal rail service between these two important cities
The implications are considerable The train will offer prompt sameday connections operating five days a week in each direction It will begin its run at CONTAINERPORT Savannah where it will pick up a fully assembled COFC TOFC train From there it will proceed to the railroads piggyback terminal in Savannah to pick up highway trailers to be
loaded aboard flatcars for the express train run to Atlanta Eastbound the process will be reversed
The new service will operate on an overnight schedule and for the first time will offer shippers next day delivery of their trailers and containers in either terminal city The westbound train will depart CONTAINERPORT at 600 pm for a dawn arrival in Atlanta The Atlanta terminus for the new run will be Seaboards Tilford yard
The overnight train will also provide considerable benefit to shippers utilizing Atlanta as a transportation throughpoint Seaboard describes Atlanta as the very heart of their rail network It is the hub where six of the carriers major routes converge and as such it serves as a major distribution and consolidation center The early morning arrival will also mean that trailers and containers destined for other points such as Chicago Memphis or St Louis on the Seaboard System will make sameday connections to the

he explains adding Were hoping we can get up to 6080 flatcars a day in the near future
Seaboard is already busily selling its new venture President Sanborn sums up their marketing philosophy The new train will offer shippers for the first time a service out of Savannah into the Atlanta area that is fully price and timecompetitive with the overtheroad truck and will thus represent a valuable and viable transportation alternative Essentially the carrier sees the new service as an entree into the socalled short corridors which have traditionally been reserved for the motor carrier
Charles McCormack indicates that the assembly of the westbound train on CONTAINERPORT premises also provides benefits to the shipper He says The main advantage is that you avoid the expense of draying the container to another facility The Georgia Ports Authority has certainly the finest facility in the Southeast and were confident that GPA can do the work efficiently while saving the cost of drayage He adds that the new arrangement will also circumvent the chronic shortage of chassis for use in short haul operations
The broad new red stripe on Seaboards rail map for Georgia signals the advent of the overnight SavannahAtlanta intermodal train
Seaboard hopes to achieve additional cost reduction from a labor point of view as well McCormack explains We are negotiating for a reduced crew to help us become more efficient Were confident we can accomplish this because the unions have been very receptive to working with us when it means attracting new business
THERES MORE GOOD NEWS
Seaboard commissioned Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris to assist with their announcements and he was more than happy to unveil two major facility expansions within the state
In Savannah 125 million will be spent to consolidate Seaboards existing yard operations now based at two separate locations into a greatly expanded facility at the site of the existing Southover Yard The project which is scheduled for completion later next year includes the construction of 13 new classification tracks measuring 20004000 feet apiece in length The rehab package also includes a 1400 foot connecting track the extension of the double track mainline two miles south of the yard to the Little Ogeechee River Bridge a new yard office building a mechanical repair facility and a new base to service locomotives Sanborn summarized the impact of the project stating This new rail facility will strengthen Savannah even more as a leading transportation center which in turn will add further to Georgias current stature as one of the leading and most progressive growth states in the South and Southeast
Seaboard simultaneously announced a 35 million yard modernization in Augusta one of the major population centers served by the Port of Savannah Seaboards massive yard in nearby Waycross where 100 million has been invested in the last decade alone is currently receiving a 135 million injection of new monies for the
CONTAINERPORT storage yard incorporates numerous rail sidings to expedite intermodal operations Berth 5 alone will feature 7 separate spurs

have the probusiness attitude in Georgia thats conducive to businesses already here to expand their activity in our state
AND MORE GOOD NEWS TO COME
The Southover Yard project will not mark the end of Seaboards construction activities for Georgia The old Savannah Yard will be converted to a modem new
Seaboards new overnight train will provide rapid delivery of containers between Savannah and Atlanta as well as connecting points beyond
piggyback terminal at a future date McCormack indicates construction startup could come as early as next year Further improvements are also contemplated at the Rice classification yard in Waycross
Much of the constmction activity along the Seaboard and her sister CSX railroad the Chessie System is dictated by the surge in container activity worldwide This constitutes the fastest growing segment of CSXs business and the corporation will invest 1 billion by the end of this decade in new equipment and facilities to handle containers and piggyback traffic
Seaboards recent expansion history closely parallels that of the Port of Savannah Attention to container facilities has been the order of the day and tonnage figures for the port suggest the same international growth pattern which the railroad has experienced The ongoing constmction of container berth five represents Savannahs current response to the trend
Purely in terms of mileage Savannah has always been the port bestpositioned to serve the bustling Atlanta transportation hub With the overnight train added to the fist of excellent inland connections between the two the cost and time factors have become even more attractive Seaboard Systems anouncement has compressed the Georgia map to the financial benefit of the international shipping and transport sector
constmction of an enginehouse The project will soon generate 50 additional jobs with another 100 to follow in the near future as more operations are consolidated
Sanborn cited Georgias progressive business atmosphere as a prime reason for Seaboards considerable financial commitment within the state We find Georgia a very comfortable place in which to operate our railroad he observed
One of the major stated goals of Governor Harris administration is the expansion and modernization of existing industries He noted that 60 percent of the 69000 new jobs developed in the state last year resulted from such expansions An obviously pleased Harris commended the carrier saying This facility will create a strategic link between Seaboards extensive rail lines throughout the Southeast and the Port of Savannah He added The announcement here today gives us another tool with which to sell Georgias ports Were grateful that we

Prior to 1880 the granite deposits which abound in the Elberton Georgia area were primarily known as a nuisance Because these deposits lay very close to the surface they were characterized by many outcroppings which made the business of tilling the local soil much more difficult
While markets existed for large granite blocks the ultimate solution to the farmers problem did not come until the mid 1880s Bill Kelly of the Elberton Granite Association explains The granite industry got started when the railroad came through Granite is a very heavy dense commodity and requires railroad transport
For its first 20 years Elbertons granite business consisted of shipping out large unfinished blocks It was not until the first decade of this century that a local processing industry emerged which began to add value to the raw material before it left the immediate area
The first local manufacturing took the form of statuary Kelly explains And the first example of the local craft now occupies a place of honor in the Elberton Granite Museum However its road to its final resting place has been so to speak rocky
The first granite statue manufactured in Elberton was commissioned for the city It
was a rendering of a confederate soldier which was to grace the central town square The statue opened to less than rave reviews with the townspeople concluding that the finished replica was too short and squatty resembling a cross between a Pennsylvania Dutchman and a hippo This unusual lineage earned the monument his permanent nicknameDutchy
The young men of Elberton acting on behalf of the community as a whole eventually rid the town square of its eyesore by taking Dutchy down and burying him on the spot since his 2500 weight made moving him a weighty problem A more suitable monument took his place
Dutchy remained interred for 80 years When plans were announced to construct the Elberton Granite Museum it was felt that the first stonework to be rendered locally would certainly be a fitting exhibit As a result Dutchy was uncovered raised and delivered to a local carwash for a thorough cleaning Currently he is on display at the museum proof positive of the longterm durability of Georgia granite
Years of quarrying have produced working depths of over 150 feet at some of the older sites

On his most recent visit to Elberton Kohsan Tradings Roy Kunihiro was checking granite with an eye toward still another application Were looking at making a bid on rejected blocks for use in ornamental architecture These are usually used decoratively in nice Japanese gardens he said
Despite the variety of end uses available the waste factor is quite high Tom Evans notes From quarry to finished monument we average 85 waste Many blocks are simply culled and discarded at the quarry More stone is lost to cutting and finishing The waste factor for exports is even higher This phenomenon stems partly from demands placed upon the producers by their customers However the Elberton granite industry is equally demanding upon itself They realize the importance of quality control to those charged with the responsibility of selling Georgia select bluegray granite
Selling the Granite
There is no shortage of competition in the granite marketplace There are 30 countries which produce significant quantities of the stone Nor is Georgias competition limited to foreign producers Barre Vermont is a major producer of a granite quite similar in grade to Georgias Quarries in Minnesota Wisconsin and South Dakota produce a colored stone which enjoys considerable popularity Still more competition comes from granite substitutes such as bronze and marble
Given the availability of alternate sources what are the determining factors in making the sale Peter de Kok of GranQuartz says the answer is simple Any granite is sold for exactly the same reason its color versus its price
Georgia helps keep its price competitive by maintaining a technology edge Advanced quarrying and manufacturing techniques enable the Elberton contingent to respond accurately and quickly to production and delivery specifics Kenneth Winn of Evanswinn notes Many of our competitors cannot produce the very large blocks which buyers often request
Kohsan Trading Companys customers are often most interested in color according to Roy Kunihiro Elberton granite is considered top quality he says adding that his firm buys nine different grades of stone in the area
The professionals who sell Georgia granite are exactly that professionals As a group they boast firsthand knowledge of quarry operations stone characteristics and transportation options They maintain their familiarity with both product and process by frequently visiting the Elberton area
Tom Evans personally inspects blocks as they are lifted from the quarry to insure they meet customer quality standards Roy Kunihiro can be seen performing the same
Georgias dimension granite deposits are centered in a five county area in Northeastern Georgia Within a 20 mile radius of Elberton some 35 quarries are in operation half of which have been in operation for more than 20 years This longtime activity has produced working depths of over 150 feet in some of the older quarries The remaining quarries are in various stages of fairly recent development and they provide evidence of the abundance of this natural stone
A measure of the magnitude of the quarrying in and around Elberton is the value of granite products shipped annually In 1983 activity reached a record total of more than 50 million capping off a decadelong trend In the past ten years volume has more than doubled with some
1750000 cubic feet of granite shipped yearly
From Quarry to Monument Like the industry itself the quarrying process has experienced considerable evolution Tom Evans of Evanswinn describes the procedure Basically the technique is a channeling process We use a jet burner combining compressed air and kerosene to produce a 3800 flame to cut a channel freeing a large mass of stone from the parent body The blocks are cut 40 feet on a side and 10 to 12 feet in depth We then drill horizontal holes at that 10 to 12 foot level and pack them with black powder which is then detonated to complete the separation The 40x40x10 foot blocks are then cut into smaller units using hydraulic drills shims wedges and a sledgehammer
Most people dont water granite blocks but the process enables Tom Evans to inspect them for any defects which would make them unsuitable for export
The best known use for granite is in the production of monuments Over 90 of all Elbertons production goes toward this end use Grave markers and statuary are two common examples In Elberton alone over 100 manufacturing plants turn rough granite into completely finished memorials
Another popular application for granite is in building construction and two factors are currently producing a resurgence in this use Bill Kelly explains First of all energy concerns have produced a return to natural building materials which retain heated and cooled air Secondly the new diamond saws can cut granite veneers much thinner than had been possible This greatly reduces weight per square measure as well as cost
Many of the granite blocks never make it past the scrap pile at the quarrys rim

function not only at the point of origin but dockside as well
The process involves splashing water on the block which darkens it to a color approximating that of the cut finished polished stone The granite is then surveyed for defects such as waves veins spots and cracks and a final determination made as to suitability Over twothirds of the blocks checked never make it past the quarry rim and are
relegated to the grout pile A final factor which weighs heavily in favor of Georgia granite is reliability in terms of supply and delivery according to Peter de Kok This time consideration becomes particularly critical in relation to export markets
Export Granite
The vast majority of Elberton granite which leaves US shores ends up in Japan
Peter T de Kok is President of GranQuartz a firm which is engaged in the import and export of granite and marble block GranQuartz activity is divided roughly in half with the exports destined for Japan 80 and Europe 20 The company exports stone from its own quarry in Elberton as well as buying direct from other producers Imports handled originate primarily in India Uruguay and Brazil The company also manufactures and sells stone cutting and finishing machinery GranQuartz specializes in comprehensive service offering customers a delivered price By assuming direct responsibility for all phases of the operation including quarrying inspection and transportation GranQuartz can maintain quality control throughout the process
Hub Shipping Company charters vessels and assists in the coordination of a total transportation package for the granite exporters As a rule granite moves breakbulk in 2000 to 5000 ton parcels with scheduling based on supply and demand as well as marketing strategy During the 1970s granite frequently moved in 20foot container racks As the volume increased the demand for racks was constantly ahead of the supply and ocean freight and handling cost skyrocketed Hub rectified these problems by combining shipments of typical Savannah staples such as clay and paper products with granite to develop maximum efficiency in vessel utilization Hubert Van Der Lugts initial contact with the port of Savannah was during his 17 years at sea as Marine Officer with HollandAmerica Line In 1967 he became a Terminal Superintendent in the Great Lakes subsequently owners representative for the Nedlloyd group in New England Hub Shipping Company was founded in 1976 and has serviced the Georgia granite trade since 1979
The Elberton Granite Association is a trade organization composed of the quarriers and manufacturers in Elberton organized to promote the sale and use of Elberton granite products The organization boasts 84 members in the production end of the business Another 25 associate

members are engaged in related service industries including shipping and transportation design and equipment supply As Executive Vice President of the Association William A Kelly is charged with the responsibility of heading this promotional effort During his 30 year tenure he has built the organization to a fulltime staff of fourteen whose duties include customer relations trade show participation training foreign trade missions advertising publication of a trade magazine and operation of the museum and exhibit hall
Sixty years of combined experience in the stone business are what Thomas E Evans and Kenneth Winn offer their customers Since forming Evanswinn in 1977 they have functioned as brokers representing both the quarriers and their Japanese buyers Interestingly they embarked upon their independent business venture at the urging of one of their longtime Japanese customers Evanswinn includes regular trips to Japan on their business schedule a practice which they say keeps them abreast of customer needs In addition it helps them maintain the close personal relationship with the Japanese which they claim is the cornerstone of their success Buying dark stone from virtually all the major Elberton producers Evanswinn performs personal inspection of each export block to insure that product and specification coincide
The English translation of the Japanese
The Japanese quarry some granite in their own country but must import most of their supply Roy Kunihiro explains part of the reason for the popularity of the Georgia variety The Japanese prefer a finegrained gray granite with a bluish tint The Elberton stone comes closest to their domestic variety providing continuity as to the type of stone As in this country most of the granite is used in monument production not only for use at new
word Kohsan is natural resources Not surprisingly Kohsan Trading Company is heavily involved in the stone business The firm has been in business for 13 years with their U S operation established nine years ago Roy and Lori Kunihiro operate Kohsans only office outside of Japan in Sherman Oaks California From this base of operations they assume responsibility for the firms activities throughout North and South America Commodities handled include mica graphite quadrite asbestos and of course granite Kohsans entry into the U S granite business came in Vermont but their focus has shifted to Elberton which now provides 80 of their U S origin granite Kohsan is responsible for over 60 of all granite imported into Japan a ratio which accounted for over 300000 tons of stone in 1983

gravesites but for going back and marking old graves Kunihiro explains
Japan is the strictest country in the world regarding quality control according to Kunihiro Tom Evans meets their stringent demands by personally inspecting every block Throughout his 24 years in the business he has maintained close personal contact with the Japanese to assure that his inspections ferret out all but those blocks ideally suited to meet the precise requirements of his consignees Evans feels Georgia enjoys a distinct advantage in the sophisticated Japanese market He says The quality control from our competitors is not what they have come to expect from this country
In addition to Japan far smaller markets for Georgia granite are Canada and Mexico
Virtually all of the granite exported from the Elberton area exits via Savannah The reasons are numerous Roy Kunihiro We get the best freight rates through Savannah Kenneth Winn Savannah offers proximity good steamship service and we have excellent relations with our freight forwarders Bill Kelly
Savannah is the dominant throughpoint We enjoy excellent trucking rates from here to Savannah with our local Elberton trucking companies
Hubert Van Der Lugt of Hub Shipping is as close to the transportation side of the export granite business as anyone He provides a list of reasons for utilizing Savannah The port as a whole has considerable experience at handling the product We never have any surprises The people are practical and I can get almost anything I need when it makes sense operationally Weve never been given a reason to look anywhere else Obviously the Port of Savannah has added service and reliability to its natural geographic advantage to capture the bustling export granite trade
Prospects
Because figures for recent months have been somewhat depressed its not unreasonable to expect 1984 export totals to exceed those for 8283 For the immediate future most share Kenneth Winns outlook The next year looks good but the one controlling factor will be the exchange rate Bill Kelly reports that calendar year figures for both domestic and export activity are running ahead of last year
Beyond one year the path is more vague and other longterm forces demand consideration On the plus side technology delivery and most important supply will work to the benefit of Georgia granite exports Bill Kelly reports Our reserves are virtually unlimited Our entire area is underlain with granite Its just a question of how close it is to the surface
Roy Kunihiro details a promising trend
in Japan Theres a lot of cemetery planning going on in conjunction with overall city planning Old cemeteries are reaching saturation and allocation of land for new ones is a good sign for Elberton
Tom Evans and Kenneth Winn point to the inherent stability of the rock business as major factor as far as future activity The industry is extremely slow to respond to economic stimuli Its not nearly as volatile as most industries Evans explains
Peter de Kok likewise sees a future characterized by growth but cautions that attention needs to be directed to two areas He says There is no reason that exports from Georgia quarries could not be increased What needs to be done is to improve in two areas the quarries need to go to increased mechanization and they need to have some sophisticated management thrown at them
Failure to embrace new technology and managerial techniques can cripple any industry and the granite business is no exception An equally disastrous shortcoming can be the failure to identify and plan for changes in the competitive balance Hubert Van Der Lugt reports that the landed cost in Japan of granite originating in China or Korea is onethird that of US quarried stone Currently technology and quality control keep the U S in the market despite this cost differential However Van Der Lugt cautions It would be a mistake to assume the situation will stay this way
Bill Kelly best summarizes the combined sentiments as to the future and provides a marketing philosophy worth hearing Growth should continue in the 45 per annum range There are only going to be a certain number of people dying Therefore growth must come in increases in the size of the total pie We dont want to fight our competitors for a share of a shrinking pie Rather we want to work together to get a larger number of people to utilize granite monuments and building facades The advertising and public relations efforts of the Elberton Granite Association are designed to achieve such market expansion
A publicity release from the Elberton Granite Association reads Like many other Georgia cities Elberton has a granite memorial to the Confederacy but it also has a granite auditorium granite road signs granite monuments granite homes granite banks and a Granite Bowl stadium This considerable presence testifies both to the abundance of the stone in the area and the important position it occupies in the areas economy That importance stretches worldwide to the many locales where monument makers specify bluegray Elberton granite and nothing but
In terms of balanced vessel loading Savannahs abundant forest products exports provide a perfect complement to dense heavy consignments of granite

LET THESE BE GUIDESTONES TO AN AGE OF REASON
Inspirational awesome mysterious Satanic This diverse list of oneword descriptions have been used at various times to portray what is certainly the most unique project ever wrought from Elberton granite the Georgia Guidestones
In June of 1979 a man introducing himself as Robert Christian appeared at the Elberton Granite Finishing Co and inquired as to the cost of producing a monument As the conversation progressed company president Joe Fendley realized the stranger was talking about a massive undertaking In fact he qualified his price estimate by saying that it was only an estimate since no monument of this size had ever been quarried in Elberton During his brief visit Christian explained he represented a small group of loyal Americans who wished to leave a message for future generations
Mr Christians next stop was the Granite City Bank He explained his project to President Wyatt Martin expressed his groups desire to remain anonymous and confided that Christian was not in fact his real name Martin countered that he could not accept the role of financial intermediary for the project based on an alias and a promise of funding Christian then swore Martin to secrecy before revealing his real name in order that an appropriate financial review could be conducted To this day Martin is the only person who knows Mr Christians real name
To the surprise of both Fendley and Martin Christian reappeared shortly thereafter with a wooden model of the project he said his group had been planning for twenty years With financing in place the herculean task of separating and lifting the 28 ton slabs from the quarry began a process which ultimately consumed several months Another nine months were required to trim some 4 tons from each stone to bring them down to project specifications The final production phase involved the sandblasting of over 4000 letters into the eight facades and capstone
The 5 acre site finally selected was chosen because of its proximity to the quarry and the fact that it was the highest point in the county Christian had already decided on Georgia as a location for the monument based on the availability of granite and temperate climate This site close to Elberton also helped keep the transportation bill to a minimum The Guidestones were officially unveiled on March 22 1980
In its completed state the project consists of four upright stones each measuring approximately 16 feet in height 6 feet in width two feet in thickness and weighing 42000 lbs Each of their eight faces is inscribed with the ten guides The
25000 lb capstone carries in four languages the inscription Let These Be Guidestones To An Age Of Reason
The capstone message is presented in the archaic languages of Sanskrit Babylonian Cuneiform Classical Greek and Egyptian Hieroglyphic The ten guides or rules appear in eight different languages on the four main stones English Russian Mandarin Chinese Arabic Classical Hebrew Swahili Hindi and Spanish were chosen because they can be read and understood by over 90 of the worlds population
Since the sponsoring group provided the message in English only a team of experts had to be assembled to translate the guides into the other languages Their carefully written documents were then
transcribed to the stones by Elbertons monumentmakers who were literally sandblasting in tongues
In addition to their philosophical function the Guidestones are configured scientifically To quote their sponsors The Guidestones consist of four large upright blocks of granite each measuring two meters wide and five meters high They mark the extreme positions of the rising and setting of the sun in its cycle of 186 years They surround a central stone which is oriented north and south This stone contains ports aligned with the celestial pole and with the paths of the sun and moon as they cross the horizon The central stone also marks the passing of the sun at noontime throughout the year
The Message
In combination with their astronomical functions the written message of the Guidestones are intended to provide a framework for survival in the future Many theorize that the precepts are to be applied in the wake of a manmade or natural holocaust The ten commandments as inscribed in the eight languages are
Maintain humanity under 500000000 in perpetual balance with nature
Guide reproduction wisely improving fitness and diversity
Unite humanity with a living new language
Rule PassionFaithTraditionand all things with tempered reason
Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts
Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court
Avoid petty laws and useless officials
Balance personal rights with social duties
Prize truthbeautyloveseeking harmony with the infinite
Be not a cancer of the earthLeave room for natureLeave room for nature
The sponsors of the Georgia Guidestones were aware that their guides were in many ways controversial Hence their anonymity In their explanation of the project they state We have chosen to remain anonymous in order to avoid debate and contention which might confuse our meaning and which might delay considered review of our thoughts

Monsanto employees arrived in Savannah recently to prefabricate a field hockey stadium surface bound for Japan
Twentyfour 15 x 243 foot strips of AstroTurf were glued to shockresistant pads manufactured to Monsantos specifications by Uniroyal in Mishawaka Indiana The Monsanto AstroTurf surface is made of Nylon 66 synthetic grass Nylon polymer from the worlds largest fully integrated plant in Pensacola Florida was shipped to the AstroTurf plant in Dalton Georgia where it was given its green color and spun into ribbon The ribbon was then knitted to the rugged polyester tire yam which forms the backing of the field surface
The field surface and pad were brought to Savannah for assembly We were
looking for a large flat surface similar to a football field said Loren Rutledge project manager for Monsanto We chose the Savannah port because the facilities are excellent the Georgia Ports Authority people are extremely cooperative and we can keep everything right in Georgia until its shipped
The prefab 15 foot wide panels of turf plus pad were rolled up and put into containers prior to shipping via ZimAmerican Israeli Shipping The destination port is Yokahama and from there the containers will be transported to the consignee the City of Ishikari on the Island of Hokkaido in Northern Japan
We originally thought we would ship from the West Coast to save on the freight Engineering Supervisor James
Koeper said We found that by going to Savannah we actually would be able to save money
The Japanese will sew the panels together and anchor the outside edges to complete the installation of the field They will also be responsible for the subbase work for the resort areas 7848 square meter field
AstroTurf offers several advantages over natural surface fields According to Monsanto officials it provides excellent traction true ball bounce and shock absorbency that exceeds that of a grass
Sports Install a whollyowned subsidiary of Monsanto Inc sewed the black shockresistant pads into 15foot wide strips and then glued the AstroTurf to them utilizing open storage at GPAs Garden City Terminal

MARCHES LEGO TOYS THROUGH SAVANNAH
TWENTYFIVE MILLION TOY SETS
McDonalds Restaurant and LEGO Systems Inc are kicking off a copromotion that recently brought over 25 million LEGO toy sets into the United States The lucky port to get the shipment was Savannah
Luck aside Savannah was actually the most qualified and emerged as the port of call because of its proximity to Atlanta regular service by a preferred steamship line and superlative support facilities
We were impressed with and appreciated the reception and cooperation we received as a company new to the Port of Savannah and equally impressed with the outstanding cooperation on the part of the truckers stevedoring companies custom house brokers etc All systems ran smoothly and it really couldnt have been a more positive experience for us explained John Morris distribution manager at LEGO Systems
The Happy Meal promotion which will run for a fourweek period from October 26 through November 25 features four LEGO building sets two DUPLO preschool building sets and a Ronald McDonald model for each McDonalds restaurant This promotion will be the biggest of its kind in LEGO Systems history Cobrokered by EL Mobley Inc and IntercontinentalPowell Inc the shipments originated in Billund Denmark sailing out of Hamburg Germany aboard HapagLloyd vessels HapagLloyds regular service was a major consideration in choosing Savannah since the parent company LEGO System AS headquartered in Billund Denmark preferred to use that line
This particular movement required the manifest to be entered in the Port of Savannah prior to the arrival of shipments to avoid a delay in customs clearance LEGO System AS has several plants around the world and parts for each particular toy might have been produced in three or four countries Since US Customs requires every imported item to be properly marked with the country of origin documentation was complicated and the extra time was necessary and sufficient
Morris explained this importance of documentation as Critical One of the most impressive functions in the entire shipment process of LEGO product through Savannah was the handling of documentation and clearance of goods by US Customs In this regard we recognize the exceptional service provided by
IntercontinentalPowell and EL Mobley Inc
Upon arrival in Savannah 107 containers of packaged kits were transported to Atlanta via motor carrier Brown Transport Corp Palmetto Shipping Stevedoring Co Inc were stevedores LEGO Systems officials said their first consideration in choosing Savannah as port of call was Savannahs proximity to Atlanta There MartinBrower
McDonalds powerful distributing arm would receive the product The fact that Savannah provided the shortest land distance between port of entry and Atlanta was one of the prime determining factors Morris said
Utilizing approximately 150000 square feet of MartinBrower warehousing the product was conveyed to 29 McDonalds distribution centers and then to over
6000 McDonalds restaurants Two containers of the Ronald McDonald models traveled by rail to a MartinBrower facility in Chicago They were a closelycontrolled special item to be delivered directly to the restaurants and assembled for display
LEGO Systems present distribution center is located in Enfield Connecticut where most of the toys marketed in the US are packaged warehoused and shipped Shipments are made directly to their retail accounts among the largest of whom are JC Penney KMart Sears and Toys R Us The target market for the LEGO system of toys in the United States is at the moment the group of approximately 50 million children ages 114
While not under immediate consideration a modified Southern regional distribution network may be addressed in the future We intend to get more aggressive in our US markets explained Jens Frier senior vice president
George Nichols executive director of GPA far right negotiates shipment details with LEGO Systems officials and brokers L to R Jens Frier senior vice president of logistics LEGO System AS Egon Nielson transport and forwarding manager LEGO System AS Richard Mobley president EL Mobley Inc John Morris distribution manager LEGO Systems Inc Charles H Powell IntercontinentalPowell Inc and George Nichols
of logistics for LEGO System AS in Denmark He added that in Europe
LEGO employs a distribution center in each country
Given a change in distribution how might Savannah fare as regular port of call According to Mike Strammiello LEGOs marketing communications manager Savannah would fare very well Given a choice we would move all our product through Savannah Our plans for 1985 and beyond are to continue the momentum of this copromotion and conduct other significant consumer promotions as opportunities allow Based on our longterm objectives we will most certainly have other major promotions in the future and will definitely consider the Port of Savannah each and every time Obviously Savannah will fare quite well
With a LEGO Ronald McDonald model on the counter McDonalds restaurants will give LEGO toys in their Happy Meals in a preChristmas copromotion

Bainbridge is Getting Corny
Georgia with 5000 acres in production Trewartha said indications are that they will come back next year The corn adapted well to the Georgia growing climate he said The consumption rate process demand and program performance will all influence next years decision
All in all Trewartha seemed pleased with the performance of the Bainbridge Terminal Due to the advent of dredging its more economically feasible he said I see the volume of Bainbridge growing rapidly 0
After being dumped by trucks into a hopper Specialty Grains waxy com is loaded onto a barge by Georgia Ports Authority conveyor system
Specialty Grains Inc SGI currently the largest US exporter of waxy corn recently transported over 20000 tons of the product through Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge Terminal Waxy corn provides a starch that is used primarily as a thickening agent by the food industry
The waxy corn was grown under contract with producing farmers The contracts provide a premium over regular market prices to provide farmers additional income per acre John Trewartha procurement manager at SGI said the fertile hinterland around Bainbridge influenced the shippers decision to utilize the terminal With the areas ability to grow corn under irrigation there is less
risk involved he said The timing factor is important Georgia farmers can plant in February and harvest in July or August The product can thus reach the destination for processing earlier in the year
The farmers were responsible for delivery of the waxy com to Bainbridge It was transported 100 percent by truck From Bainbridge the river barge system took the shipment to New Orleans There the responsibility for the shipment shifted from SGI to the New York office of NisshoIwai American Corp a Japanese trading house The destination for this shipment was mainly Japan with a small portion dedicated to Europe

Savannahs CONTAINERPORT already has six container cranes on its docks four of which are Kocks units Savannah prides itself with the fastest turnaround for containerships on the East Coast said John Tomberlin GPA operations equipment manager We intend to maintain that competitive advantage
Bid acceptance coincides with the construction of CONTAINERPORTs berth five adding 1000 feet of berthing space 60 acres of paved storage and eight lanes of interchange detailed in the JulyAugust issue of Anchorage GPA officials acknowledge that the last fiscal years record container tonnages combined with the recent designation as load center by several major carriers accelerated the development of berth five
Three Kocks cranes similar to those pictured above will grace CONTAINERPORT berth five presently under construction The bid acceptance was based on highstandard specifications required by the port

colonists waited anxiously in Beaufort
SC General James E Oglethorpe scouted the Savannah river for a suitable location to begin a unique colony the year 1733 His colony would be a philanthropic attempt based on predetermined ideals and governed by a British Board of Trustees
In Oglethorpes words reporting to the Trustees I went myself to view the Savannah River I fixed upon a healthy situation about ten miles from the sea The river here forms a half moon along the South side of which the banks are almost forty foot high and on top flat which they call a bluff Ships that draw twelve foot water can ride within ten yards of the bank Upon the river side in the center of this plain I have laid out the town
On top of the steep sandy bluff the colonists pitched four tents and thus was Savannah and the Colony of Georgia bom The bluff was the obvious choice for among other things the avoidance of alligators and the haze of disease hovering the marshes Settled atop this bluff Oglethorpe layed out the City of Savannah with a strategy that today stands testament to his genius
The renovated buildings of Factors Row are now flanked by an aesthetically compatible Rousakis Plaza

Savannah 1734 This sketch is attributed to Peter Gordon but records reveal a controversy Noble Jones of Wormsloe wrote to the Trustees I understand Mr Gordon Made a large Sum by his prospect of Savannah I always thought him a Man of more Honour than to Enfringe So much on any Mans Right Jones thus inferred his belief that Gordon had copied his surveying records before taking the resulting sketch to
England
Savannah originally had two purposes to give the British colonies protection from the Spanish in Florida and to export wine flax linen silk and naval staples to England Within ten years nearly 5000 people settled Georgias expanding coastline and began building that dream into reality
River Street began as a sandy bluff boasting a single large stout crane In 1739 the Trustees commissioned their first wharf James Habersham and Charles Harris established the first waterfront commercial warehouse in 1744 and five years later made Savannahs first shipment to London Consisting of lumber hogs and skins this shipment was valued at 10000 As early as 1760 there were stone buildings along the river called the Kings Store Houses
Commerce flourished during the latter half of the eighteenth century as increased shipping required huge warehouses
Taverns and coffee shops opened their doors to sailors from round the world
One of the most popular was Browns Coffee House where George Washington was entertained for lunch and dinner in 1791
With the advent of the cotton gin in 1793 Factors Row grew to about one mile of Savannahs waterfront Factors Row was the name for the collection of waterfront buildings that housed the offices of cotton factors or brokers in their upper floors
The lower floors were used as warehouses The upper floors opened onto Factors Walk a maze of iron and wood bridges and walkways along the bluff while the warehouses opened on the river level
Ships ballast stones and thick beams of virgin pine provided the foundation to protect the contents from the river and harsh weather
Some buildings however fell to the devasting gale of 1804 Afterwards merchants began to add the third fourth and sometimes fifth floors to their buildings whose exits faced upper Factors Walk and Bay Street This layout provided a certain convenience to the ladies of the day by allowing them to avoid the rugged men of the riverfront Some of the buildings are said to have had large holes in the floor through which bales of cotton were hoisted
Old and new come together on River Street
The Plaza is a shoppers paradise especially when special events bring craftsmen with their booths and umbrellas to display their wares
President Monroe visited Savannah in 1819 and boarded the SS Savannah at a River Street wharf for a roundtrip journey to and from Tybee Two months later the elegant ship made the worlds first steampowered transatlantic voyage to Liverpool At this time Savannah was the sixteenth largest city in the country and boasted in excess of 140000 worth of export activity in 1818 The future looked bright for Savannahians for as Curator Jim Atkinson of the Ships of the Sea Museum said The SS Savannah brought even more significance to the Port of Savannah
The 1820s brought concern for the erosion of Savannahs bluff To prevent citizens from removing the vital white sand a 30 fine was imposed because great injury may arise to the navigation of this river from the frequent practice of removing sand from the top of the bluff
The year 1820 brought more than concern however as a powerful fire devoured the commercial district including most of Factors Row Ninetyfour lots were left naked making altogether 463 tenements exclusive of out buildings As if that were not enough a yellow fever epidemic perhaps the most serious ever struck the city before the years end Nevertheless River Street continued to progress during that discouraging year as John T Mongin began his wharves
Until 1824 ballast stone was dumped on the riverfront That year ships were disallowed that privilege unless the stones were immediately removed to an appointed place These colorful rocks were used to pave the roads along the bank and the ramps to the upper bluff River Street as such was laid out through the privatelyowned wharf lots in 1836
SeptemberOctober 1984
Savannah the King Cotton Port She exported the first bale and it was in her vicinity that the cotton gin was invented In 1764 the first shipment of cotton consisting of eight bags was seized by customs officials in London on the grounds that so much cotton could not have been raised in the American colonies
The ballast stone was also used to construct a retaining wall to stop the erosion of the bluff The first retaining wall east of City Hall was completed in 1842 A wholehearted project steamed up in 1846 utilizing discarded ballast stones and eventually purchasing the construction material from various ships and schooners The walls and street ramps were completed in 1858 followed by the stone paving of River Street in 1859 In some places the supporting aesthetically pleasing retaining wall is four feet thick
Balconies began to adorn the northern facades of Factors Row during the 1850s From these ironwork balconies soldiers were cheered on to war loading ships were viewed and special events were heralded
In 1874 the Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah was established as a subsidiary of the Central of Georgia Railway Thus it joined the Merchant and Miners Transportation Co MMT as one of the two major steamship lines serving Savannah The Ocean Steamship Co was located at what is now Georgia Ports Authoritys Ocean Terminal and MMT was where the Hyatt Regency Savannah now stands
In 1876 Factors Walk experienced another major fire resulting in a 100000 loss in only one block from Drayton to Bull Streets It is fires such as this that make it difficult to pinpoint the ages of the buildings on Factors Walk since nearly all have been burnt at least once
Artwork from Harpers Illustrated Weekly
Balloons and happy faces weave through the crowds on the waterfront during a First Saturday celebration
In 1886 the Cotton Exchange was built Standing directly over the intersection of Factors Walk and Drayton Street it is supposedly the only complete structure in the world built over a street
There is not much literature to be found on River Street during the beginning of the twentieth century This is probably best explained by the evolution of the shipping industry at that time In 1890 the Republic made the worlds first transnavigation completely under steampower As Atkinson explained the ships quit docking at the old River Street wharves when steampower truly arrived
He said the length and size of the ships discouraged them from turning around at River Street so they utilized facilities either up or down river Many ships were berthed at Ocean Steamship Co facilities in what used to be GPAs slip one The two slips on the north side of the river were also operative
At 67 years old Maurice Goslee is GPAs oldest employee This operations manager at GPAs railroad department described the River Street of the 1930s as just a bunch of old dilapidated warehouses where the old Central of Georgia train ran
GPAs Port Police Chief W L Kilroy agreed saying River Street was almost dormant for a period of time He
Retaining walls stand testament to the strength of the River Street spirit
Actually debated as far back as the 1940s the River Street renovation was finally completed in 1977 providing a public concourse landscaping resurfacing of River Street construction of limited mooring facilities new sewerage new shrubbery a reconstructed bulkhead line and various other improvements The result was Rousakis Plaza an attraction that brings the old and new together on the riverfront With planning begun in 1968 and construction completed in 1981 the Hyatt Regency Savannah aided in the upsurge of tourism that has become the lifeblood of River Street
Shops and restaurants now adorn the timeworn warehouses Upstairs offices house todays brokers agents and others thriving in what has become the largest foreign commerce port of the South Atlantic In 1958 GPA purchased Ocean Terminal from Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah symbolizing the westward shift of cargo activity in the harbor As ships sail past River Street en route to this facility the separation between transportation and tourism seems evident But as tourists pose next to the Waving Girl statue on the Plaza and point to the worlds largest containership sailing up the river the power of River Street brings Savannahs top two industries together again No River Street does not merely endure she flourishes into the future more confidently each year
explained that the depression came along and about killed everything resulting in a rundown River Street with inadequate docking facilities
In order for the Port of Savannah to recuperate its potential as leading South Atlantic port it became obvious that statewide support was required To this end in March of 1945 the Georgia legislature set up the Georgia Ports Authority gave it rights to operate stateowned facilities and in a sweeping grant of power authorized it to do any other things necessary or proper to foster or encourage the commerce domestic or foreign of the state the United States of America or of the several sister states This action assured the continued vitality of Savannahs port industry bom 235 years ago on River Street
The 1950s brought talk of a renovation of River Street In 1955 an optimistic and comprehensive report containing a study of Savannahs waterfront area was presented Mills B Lane president of the Citizens and Southern National Bank

NEW TO SAVANNAH
The visit of the Mount King to Ocean Terminal introduced Savannah to a new service that of Teh Tung Steamship NY Inc
The Panamanianflag ship carried cargo expected to be typical of the service 3200 metric tons of granite and 1600 metric tons of kraft linerboard With a gross tonnage of 4447 metric tons and an overall length of 1071 meters the ship was loaded utilizing two Georgia Ports Authority cranes of 100 and 50 ton capacities respectively
John Hohenstein president of Hohenstein Co Inc agents for the steamship line said Savannah was chosen as the South Atlantic port because of its close proximity to high quality granite quarries There wasnt ever a choice he said Top grade Georgia granite enjoys considerable popularity among monument makers in the Far East see article beginning on page 6
The steamship line operates 42 vessels two of which will berth at Savannah every six weeks Calling on only one other US port New Orleans this rotation will offer Savannah the advantage of lastout service

continued from page 11
Excerpts from the same explanatory document provide further insights into the intent of those who conceived the project
Population pressures will soon create political and economic crisis throughout the world These will make more difficult and at the same time more needed the building of a rational world society
We must make humanity aware that acceptance of compassionate enlightened reason will let us control our destiny within the limits inherent in our nature
There are alternatives to Armageddon They are attainable But they will not happen without coordinated efforts by millions of dedicated people in all nations of the earth
They outline in general terms certain basic steps which must be taken to establish for humanity a benevolent and enduring equilibrium with the universe
A diverse and prosperous world population in perpetual balance with global resources will be the cornerstone for a rational world order People of good will in all nations must work to establish that balance
We suggest that scholars throughout the world begin now to establish a new basis upon which later generations can develop a totally new universal language for men and machines It will be adapted to our speech mechanisms and to the language faculties and patterns impressed in our nervous systems
We invite our fellow human beings in all nations to reflect on our simple message When these goals are some day sought by the generality of mankind a rational world order can be achieved for all
Dr Francis Merchant the message interpreter for the Georgia Guidestones found a carefully conceived code of human conduct underlying the 10 basic precepts Fundamentalist religious groups find ominous Satanic influences in the configuration of the stones But for the most part those who have heard of the monument find it an intriguing mystery the work of a group of welltodo closet philosophers As the many visitors to the site can attest a firsthand look at the guidestones will do little to pierce the shroud of uncertainty
But then again what would life be without a little mystery And the best mysteries are the ones that persevere like those carefully etched into the polished granite facades of the Georgia Guidestones

Three major European shipowners have pooled their considerable resources to introduce a new weekly fullcontainer service which will ply the waters between Savannah and Northern Europe Under the agreement Compagnie Generate Maritime CGM HapagLloyd and Incotrans ICT will offer a weekly rotation which will call at Savannah as first port inbound and last port outbound This schedule will permit the carriers to offer minimum transit times in both directions The transit time from Savannah to the first European port of call will be ten days
The service will be maintained by five ships of about 1500 TEUs capacity each They are named the Incotrans Spirit Incotrans Speed Alemania Express and the America Express with the fifth vessel to be named at a later date European ports of call on the itinerary are Le Havre Rotterdam Bremerhaven and one port in the United Kingdom either Greenock or Felixstowe
Incotrans
Incotrans contribution to what they describe as a joint sailing and space charter agreement will be two vessels
the Incotrans Spirit and the Incotrans Speed The 666 foot long bottoms tip the scales at 26500 deadweight tons apiece carried across a breadth of 100 feet
Their capacity is over 1500 TEU each and they can attain a maximum speed of 21 knots
According to J L A Drabbe
Incotrans president Savannah was a logical choice when expansion plans in the South Atlantic were being considered Not only did the port offer excellent facilities but its location made it a natural gateway to and from the markets in the Sunbelt and Midwest
HapagLloyd and Savannah have been working partners in the container business for nearly a year Under the lines new three party partnership they will deploy two 1500 TEU vessels to the port The new run will offer the same first inlast out frequency on
a weekly basis while increasing capacity some 40 percent

Around the clock operations are no problem at CONTAINERPORT CGM and ICT will certainly avail themselves of this capability as their partner HapagLloyd has in the past

NovemberDecember 1984
ICT is most optimistic about the success of its space chartering arrangement Company officials noted that the agreement rationalizes the fleet deployment requirements of all three participating lines while maintaining competition and choice in the sales and marketing fields
In the United States all Incotrans liner services are marketed through the KenSteamship Company Inc with support from three Incotrans offices in New York Chicago and St Louis
Incotrans is the marketing name for Intercontinental Transport ICT BV headquartered in Rotterdam Known as Holland America Line prior to 1975 the company has specialized in
CGMs distinctive logo will be seen at CONTAINERPORT Savannah with increasing frequency now that the line has introduced weekly service to the port

transportation between Europe and North and Central America since 1873 Today it is a partner in five ocean liner services linking the United States Canada Mexico and Central America with Europe
HapagLloyd
Late last year HapagLloyd entered the South Atlantic marketplace with the inauguration of a regular weekly service connecting Savannah with Northern Europe At the time their rationale for introducing the run was Savannah is offering the better possibilities for our container operation We also feel convinced that Savannah needs another container service connecting the very important Atlanta area with Europe Obviously the lines two new partners
The Incotrans Speed and the Incotrans Spirit will be the ICT participants in the new five ship service connecting Savannah and Northern Europe

WEEKLY SERVICE TO EUROPE
feel that the same conditions warrant their participation in the US South Atlantic arena
HapagLloyd will be replacing the 950 TEU vessels which have been involved with its initial rotation with two 1500 TEU capacity ships The Alemania Express and the America Express are capable of carrying over 200 refrigerated boxes as well as breakbulk parcels and heavy lift units The two had formerly been deployed in the lines EuroPacific service The vessels being replaced will be reassigned to the Pacific trades
Under the joint service with three partners HapagLloyd will reserve the major share of the combined space allotment for all five vessels This reflects their participation in the total cost of securing and operating the vessels to which they have contributed 55 percent of the capital required They are not strictly limited to this ratio however Juergen Manske owners representative explains In addition to the advantage of sharing some of the operating costs we also have the possibility of further slot exchanges
The HapagLloyd Group currently comprises six major transportation subsidiaries They are sea transportation port and coastal services shipyardships supply and repair service tourism passenger service forwarding as well as other transportation and financial interests They operate a diversified fleet with a combined deadweight of over one and a quarter million tons Worldwide the sea transportation group alone employs some 3400 workers twothirds of whom are aboard their fifty plus vessels
Why has HapagLloyd realigned a service that is barely a year old Manske explains In this time of rising costs it is essential to operate ships under the best and cheapest of conditions If you can share a service without giving up slots you can share your costs without sacrificing service You still sell the customer under the same preamble Each line will retain its own marketing effort
Biehl and Company are agents for HapagLloyd
CGM
The addition of Savannah is in response to customer requests and it underscores CGMs commitment to the US Gulf South Atlantic and Northern European trade route Well continue to make whatever adjustments are necessary to keep CGMs container service the best available said Amauld B de Pere Houstonbased owners representative for the line
Compagnie Generate Maritime is the largest French shipping group Their main activity the international transport of goods is carried out with a fleet of 70 ships that have an average age of six years and represent a GRT of over one million CGMs main activity centers around the carriage of general cargo However they also operate a number of bulk and oilore carriers as well
CGM has made its mark in recent years with the development of modem techniques such as thermal containerization oceangoing RoRo operations and the computerization of many of the formalities involved in transport A specialist in the container field CGM is also interested in the transport of heavy and oversized cargoes
CGM was established as the result of a merger between Compagnie Generate Transatlantique and Compagnie des Messageries Maritimes Both companies played a major rote in the establishment of todays major sea services

and Amazon Line Launches Service to Savannah
The MV Nordlandia recently introduced Savannah to the specialized Snowdroptype reefer vessels of the Antilles and Amazon Line
The Antilles and Amazon Line is a new Danishflag service plying the US East CoastCaribbeanGuyanasBrazil trade According to Charles Sutlive general manager for agents Gulf and Eastern Steamship and Chartering Corp typical inbound cargo will be frozen fish and shrimp lumber brazil nuts and miscellaneous small lots of general cargo are also expected Outbound cargo will consist of frozen products such as meats and poultry tobacco chemicals and lumber products
Concerning the decision to use Savannah instead of other South Atlantic ports Arthur Renehan managing director working out of Gulf Easterns New York office said Savannah offers a better combination for our distribution citing the hinterland served by Savannah including Tampa West Tennessee and Atlanta Sutlive agreed saying Antilles and Amazon feel the cargo opportunities are better in Savannah than other South Atlantic ports
Overseen by Captain Virgar Dahl the Nordlandias maiden voyage discharges included approximately 250 tons of frozen goods and 35 tons of lumber She loaded about 150 tons of frozen cargo Stevedores were Palmetto Shipping and Stevedoring Co Inc Sutlive said he is encouraged by the bookings for vessel two
Especially constructed for palletized unitized cargoes the Nordlandia and her sistership the MV Iceberg will be
calling Savannah on a firstin basis every three weeks A tenday transit time from the islands ensures importers the most expedient service for their reefer cargoes The 6729 meterlong vessels provide 65233 cubic feet of refrigerated cargo space for a cargo capacity of 1225 metric tons They are certified to maintain temperatures betwen 12 and 27 C Three holds allow for three different temperatures to be maintained In addition the Nordlandia is equipped with sideport and fittings for shipment of containers on deck
Sutlive said Savannahs controlled temp facilities which include 68000 square feet of cold storage space can well accommodate this reeferoriented operation Because of the proximity of the cold storage to the piers and docks it facilitates the movement of both inbound and outbound cargo
Foreign ports of call for this service include Antigua Dominica St Lucia St Vincent Grenada Guyana Surinam and Belem New York is the only other US port of call Montserrat will be called on inducement

Whats the bottom line
GYDNIA POLAND
LEGHORN ITALY
NEW YORK USA
LOS ANGELES USA
If youre buying a highspeed dockside container handling crane youre probably looking at a stack of proposals spec sheets and bids You want to make the right decision But whats the bottom line Is it the initial purchase price
No The key to higher profits is equipment reliability Less downtime means faster turnaround and more satisfied customers Your crane has to perform
Thats why ports all over the world depend on the Paceco Portainer Crane
Ask Anybody Who Operates a Crane
Before you make a decision about which crane to buy talk to the people who actually run cranes The terminal engineers The operators Theyll tell you
Paceco Portainers are reliable With routine maintenance total downtime figures of less than one percent are regularly logged for cranes operating five ten or even fifteen years
Like the Portainers at Atlantic Container Lines terminal at Port Elizabeth New Jersey Theyve logged over 62249 hours of operation with less than 64 hours of downtime Thats 999 reliability
And Paceco Portainers are a sound investment Many
cranes have appreciated in value since they were purchased
Why Gamble
You can probably buy a cheaper crane But in the long run are you really saving money
Not if youre facing exorbitant maintenance costs and hardtoget parts Not if your customers are sitting dockside waiting on your crane to perform Ships make money at sea not sitting in port When you think about it the Paceco Portainer is probably the least expensive crane you can buy
And the best crane for your money
Theres Only One Portainer Crane
Paceco built the first highspeed dockside container crane in 1958 It helped revolutionize the shipping industry That same crane is still performing admirably just like the 300 Portainers weve built since So if its not designed by Paceco its not a Portainer

RESULTS OF THE 1984
Qummut jipt unii r IIIu ny
it mpmm
1 m mm mmU hill I 1
The Shipping Act of 1984 has it brought real change to the shipping industry or is it mere window dressing Is it being used will it make a difference
Federal Maritime Commissioner Thomas F Moakley said the answers may depend on how the maritime industry uses the provisions of the law as opposed to the new law itself Moakley explained there are several areas where the Shipping Act of 1984 provides at the very least a potential for change They are
1 agreements among ocean carriers
2 service contracts
3 shippers associations
4 intermodal authority
5 independent action and
6 USflag cross trading
Most Heralded
Moakley described agreements among ocean carriers as the most heralded provisions of the 1984 Act He told an audience gathered at the eighteenth annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference that these provisions can be segregated into two groups those dealing with agreement filing and processing and those which spell out antitrust immunity
The filing and processing phases have been eased due to the replacement of the burden of proof Moakley said from proponents to opponents of the agreement Unless action is taken such agreements automatically become effective 45 days after filing with the FMC As of October 1 157 agreements have been filed with the commission and 88 have become effective Moakley said
Two recent agreements illustrate the effectiveness of the 1984 Act A September 28th FMC notice stated the commission would take no action against certain pooling agreements in the Brazil and Argentine trades Prior to 1984 the commission conducted many lengthy investigations into similar agreements only to find they should be approved Under the 1916 Act Moakley said there was no choice but to conduct such
investigations Under the 1984 Act the burden is reversed
Other examples are the new North Atlantic conferences effective October 12 45 days after filing Replacing nine conferences between the US Atlantic Coast and Europe these two conferences one inbound and one outbound are expected to remedy the miscellaneous costs and inefficiencies of their predecessors Moakley concurred with the position that such a consolidation would have been extremely difficult if not impossible under the standards and procedures of the 1916 Act
The Shipping Act of 1984 also provides for antitrust immunity with regard to carrier agreements Moakley explained that under the 1916 Act antitrust immunity was conveyed by the commissions approval of an agreement Under the 1984 Act antitrust immunity is conveyed by statute upon the effective
FMC Commissioner Thomas Moakley reports on how our Shipping Act is shaping up
date No commission action is required
In addition antitrust immunity is conveyed to agreements exempted by the commission For example a proposal was recently adopted to exempt the majority of terminal agreements from the 45day mandatory waiting period Moakley said he doubted whether such an exemption would have been suggested under the 1916 Act since it would have conveyed no immunity
Most Attention
Next to agreements service contracts have perhaps received the most attention Not recognized by the Act of 1916 service contracts parallel previous time volume contracts Moakley suggested the main difference was supposed to be in
NovemberDecember 1984
11
We see a rebirth better service better rates better everything

the carriers commitment to provide a defined service level But Moakley said I have yet to find one that provides any real specifity
As of September 30 159 service contracts were filed with the FMC 153 by individual carriers and six by conferences Evergreen Line leads the pack with 59 service contracts on file
Moakley said these contracts have been drafted mainly by carriers and he expects some different language when shippers draft the contracts He did see some advantages already accruing for the shippers however especially for those who have service contracts on file with different carriers for the same commodity at different rates As Moakley said Leverage can produce interesting results
For the first time in international ocean commerce shippers may benefit from shippers associations Moakley said The new act now recognizes shippers associations and prohibits carriers from refusing to negotiate with them
It seems such solutions often bring new questions For example can NVOCCs be members of shippers associations or perhaps form their own Moakley explained that NVOCCs may be seen as carriers in their relationship with shippers and they may be seen as shippers in their relationship with carriers I would appreciate as much input as we can get on this question he requested
Most Important
The most important achievement of the 1984 Act according to Moakley is the intermodal authority provided conference members He expressed concern over remaining restrictions however While the 1984 Act permits the collective establishment of the level of through intermodal rates conference members cannot collectively negotiate with truckers or railroads in the US to establish the division of the through rates paid to those inland carriers
William M Poole moderator is flanked by panelists as he welcomes participants to the eighteenth Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
If the operation intermodalism produces efficiencies why did we restrict it in this area he asked Joe Fannon director of traffic and tariffs at Georgia Ports Authority later suggested an answer As I understand it the FMC regulates the ocean while the ICC Interstate Commerce Commission regulates the inland move he said
The new law has also required all conference agreements to provide for independent action on any rate or service item required to be filed in a tariff on not more than 10 days notice to the conference This should enhance a shippers bargaining position since a carrier can no longer hide behind a conference in denying a rate Moakley said
He mentioned procedures of several conferences to discourage independent action such as a requirement to explain their reasons to the other conference members The FMC however has been successful in getting these impediments
removed and will continue their efforts to do so he said
Finally Section 13B5 of the 1984 Act authorizes the commission to suspend the tariffs of a carrier when that carrier or its government unduly impairs access of a USflag vessel to a crosstrade Moakley said that combined with the Acts declaration of policy this provision creates a clear USflag protection role for the FMC not present under the 1916 Act
Moakley warned that this provision should be used only as a last resort for there is far more to be gained by cooperation than confrontation
Moakley concluded saying We see a rebirth better service better rates better everything William M Poole moderator of the conference speakers and an Atlanta attorney added It seems to me a clear incentive to the shippers to unite and maybe this is what we talk about when we say evolution versus revolution

Kaiser Notes BeefedUp Facilities
Recent shipments for Kaiser Agricultural Chemicals were among the first to benefit from the new fender and mooring dolphin systems completed at Georgia Ports Authoritys Bainbridge Terminal
Nine barges divided into two shipments traveled up the Flint River carrying a total of 12000 tons of fertilizer material Two barges loaded with urea traversed the Intracoastal Waterway from New Orleans Potash was delivered by one barge originating in Houston and six barges from MinneapolisSt Paul
The cargo was delivered by truck to Kaisers storage facility only a block away from the Bainbridge Terminal Bill Edgley division employee relations manager said most of the product will be stored in Kaisers terminal and redistributed by truck to fertilizer dealers in the Bainbridge market area
Edgley said the decision to bring this shipment through Bainbridge hinged on the deepening of the river by the US Army Corps of Engineers He can now be assured of a consistent depth of nine feet He also complimented the beefing up of the terminals facilities He said that without these improvements the Bainbridge Terminal might not have won this shipment
Barge full of potash docks at Bainbridges improved facilities
Now that Kaiser has witnessed the benefits of Bainbridge harbor improvements Edgley said We are confident that these improvements will help Kaiser develop a major fertilizer distribution center around the Bainbridge terminal
processes the grain into 157 different starches These starches have innumerable applications in both edible and nonedible products
National Starch working out of its Indianapolis office handled the domestic shipment and New York forwarders Dupont Shipping handled the transatlantic movement Mark Ekerle grain coordinator for National Starch said the com was grown by Georgia farmers under contract with his company We paid a premium price over the elevator price in Georgia he said
The farmers arranged for delivery of the grain by truck to the Bainbridge Terminal Truck drivers from around the region including Claxton Camilla and Statesboro positioned their trucks above the pit into which the grain was dropped The grain loaders conveyor belt consecutively moved the cargo directly onto the barges Both barges were loaded within two days

attracted over 800 shippers carriers equipment manufacturers and government officials from throughout North America
Intermodalism is by far the fastest growing sector of the freight transportation business both in the United States and worldwide Welch said We thought it was most appropriate that the theme of the forthcoming Expo be TntermodalismNational and International Looking to the 1990s
Statistics cited by Welch support this thrust According to the Association of American Railroads the number of trailers and containers carried by US railroads totalled over 4 million in 1983 up 20 percent over 1982 The volume of TOFCCOFC for the first 40 weeks of 1984 was 15 percent higher than for the same period in 1983
The Expo will commence on June 4 with an equipment exhibit on the rail tracks and parking lot immediately in
front of the World Congress Center Inside exhibits will be featured in the World Congress Center Exhibit Hall where the latest TOFC and COFC rolling stock vans loading devices and peripheral equipment and supplies will be displayed
After a keynote address on June 5 the program will feature a panel discussion Making Piggyback Pay Off What Shippers Expect from four nationallyknown shippers The afternoon session will be highlighted by a panel Intermodalism An International Perspective with prominent shipping executives from Europe and the Far East Another panel will be on CoasttoCoast ChallengeAPLs Overland versus US Lines All Water Route The day will conclude with a cocktailbuffet supper sponsored by Norfolk Southern and Seaboard System

Three Decades at GPA I
You had to be in good shape back then f If not theyd make you So said Eddie Ellison of working at the port in the early days
Ellison was recently recognized for his 30 years of service with the Georgia Ports Authority He was invited to the office of GPA Executive Director George Nichols who presented a commemorative plaque and a check for 200 Ellison said the work was pretty rough when he began working for GPA in 1954 Automation and equipment were not as sophisticated and prevalent then
Typical cargoes of the 1950s were kaolin clay cotton and burlap The clay bags came loose in car boxes rail and labormen such as Ellison put the sacks onto pallets and stored them in the warehouses Only three warehouses accommodated the docks back then Cotton was brought from around the region to the port where it was compacted and baled prior to loading onto ships You had to roll that cotton with your hands Ellison said He remembers burlap as a major import saying the ILA put it onto the

trailers which the laborers put in the house
Born in Sylvania Georgia Ellison said he started work when he was 11 years old doing various odd jobs When he was 13 he was hired by a sawmill He has been a lift driver at GPA for the past 25 years Ive learned a lot since Ive been here he confided While he says he doesnt mind working in fact hes never missed a day he didnt have to he does look forward to retiring I dont want to sit down when I retire but if I dont want to do something I wont have to he smiled and said Hell be 64 next May Im gonna try to make it til I get 65
Ellison has one daughter and three grandchildren one of whom he brought to the port for a GPA picnic He sat back and remembered the early port policies saying there was a heap of difference you didnt have security when I started
In addition to security Ellison receives a long list of benefits now including six weeks of vacation each year He doesnt take them all at once and usually saves a few days to take off around his birthday Six weeks is too long to take at one time he explained Finding the time to take off and enjoy himself however does not pose a problem said Eddie who spends the majority of it working on his house
Ellison joins the growing ranks of perserverant employees working at GPA for 30 years or more By the end of the fourth quarter of 1984 10 will have attained that recognition
Methods for handling breakbulk cargoes have seen quite a few changes since Eddie joined GPA in 1954 While cotton used to be baled at the port and handled by hand it usually goes through by container now Forklifts carry breakbulk cargo from transit shed to pallets lifted by either ships gear or GPA cranes

CONFERENCE

Georgias Governor Joe Frank Harris was the first governor ever to address the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
The first governor ever on the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Program
Gov Joe Frank Harris told over 650 luncheon attendees that this was the appropriate year because This is the year that here in Georgia were trying to put the word trade back into our Industry and Trade Agency

Georgia evolution in terms of the growth based on a diversifying economy and revolution in terms of the current revitalizing process resulting in new jobs and opportunities Harris ongoing economic program emphasizes expansion of existing industry as a source of new employment
Gov Harris said that trade promotions recently conducted at seven international trade fairs accompanied by constant efforts of the eight Georgia Ports Authority trade development offices and three State Department of Industry and Trade offices are opening up opportunities for Georgians that weve never had before He cited 89000 new jobs developed in Georgia last year and 330 million invested in new and expanded foreign facilities during the first six months of 1984 as evidence of the prosperous dynamics now witnessed by Georgia business
Complementing the efforts of trade offices promoting Georgia around the world Gov Harris said the Georgia Trade Lead Program is assisting businesses across the state particularly small businesses that are fearful of international commerce
I feel that we need to be prepared to take advantage of the improved climate that is going to be there someday if the value of the dollar comes down
Gov Harris quoted Thomas Jefferson
Peace commerce and honest friendship with all nations entangling alliances with none Thats the way we feel in Georgia he said Recalling his veto action against certain protectionist legislation he said Weve been very conscious of not building any walls and fences around Georgia We like for our trade to be free
The Governor said Georgias key objective is a healthy and open system of international trade Utilizing the trade development programs in Georgia gives us meaning for our goals to be able to give Georgia an export program second to none he said We had a vision for Georgia early on It makes me glad that the vision is happening I see it every day

Riding Which Tide
Evolution or Revolution
Some change some advances in intermodalism some retraction some extra service for the shippers and hopefully no price wars Such are the predictions of Barber Blue Sea BBS Executive Vice President Raymond R Miles on todays rapidly changing shipping industry
Whats been happening to us BBS is quite a good illustration of whats been happening to the industry at large Miles said Weve transformed our economics you have to have done that over the last ten years in our business if you wanted to survive
Various trends have emerged in the shipping industry related to the economic transformation suggested by Miles Megacarriers load centers and intermodalism allow the advantages of economies of scale and marginal profit by doing things in a big way
Miles described a megacarrier as a big shipping line or rather a shipping line with a number of very big ships He gave his opinion that BBS is indeed a megacarrier In 1974 they had 36 ships the largest of which accommodated 300 containers Eight ships with 700 TEU capacities were added in 1976 six with 1900 TEUs in 1979 and finally three newbuilds with a capacity for 2400 TEUs joined the fleet this year He said ACL US Lines Maersk Line
Evergreen SeaLand and APL have all gone through that dramatic process
Before we get carried away with those changes however we should bear in mind that its a process that has been continuing for a long time he warned adding a calculated outlook to his audience at the eighteenth annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
As the ships get larger the load center concept becomes practical due to the high costs of each port call Leo Fitzpatrick vice president of the National Customs BrokersForwarders Association of America told the conference attendees that while the trend is a necessity in many cases to small ports like Boston Philadelphia Baltimore and other small ports on the Southeastland the load center concept is a very dangerous vehicle albeit practical from a shipping point of view
Fitzpatrick however recognized the inevitability of the trend saying I think it is here and will continue to grow into the future
Four panelists at the trade conference offered their diverse perspectives on the controversial load center concept Representing the ocean carriers Jack Van Houten resident general manager at Incotrans said that while the trend may be sad for many people Evolution or revolution its here He likened the farreaching effects of load centers to the changes generated by the advent of the automobile some seemed good some bad
Representing the inland carriers W Charles McCormack vice president of marketing and planning for Seaboard
System Railroad acknowledged the disequilibrium caused by the load centers economic shift He emphasized however the benefits to be found in the resulting better lower cost operations providing more alternatives to the shipper
Shippers may reap the greatest rewards from load centers Jack W Ireland distribution manager for Oxford Industries Inc was the importers delegate I see it the load center concept as a major advantage because of options available such as routing service and costing he said
Hiram W Ware director of purchasing and traffic at Union Camp Corp a major exporter for Savannah agreed saying We see a number of benefits

from it He addressed the controversy as a rhetorical question asking Whos it being done to or whos it being done for Perhaps the good of it is a matter of perspective he offered adding Anything good for the port of Savannah is good for us
As president and chief executive officer of W N Proctor Co Inc in Boston Fitzpatrick told of the devastating effects the load center concept has had on his port city Boston has long since been bypassed by the major shipping lines
He said labor felt the first brunt of the trend with ILA diminishing from about
2000 gainfully employed to about 100 He said his industry will also be hurt
Citing the US Customs fiveyear plan Fitzpatrick said it ties in particularly well with the load center concept They go hand in glove He said the fiveyear plan calls for a load center concept customs clearancewise Regions and districts would be reduced to concentrate customs clearance service centers at ports where goods arrive shipped or planed
Finally Fitzpatrick predicted Major lines will emerge victorious smaller lines will be either gobbled up or closed up
Miles however had a different outlook for the developing load center concept If you look around at the major trades in the US most carriers still call a large
number of ports There may well be some carriers that will turn to the load center concept but we believe that most carriers and ourselves included will continue to provide a range of full service in a number of ports and not narrow that service much more beyond what has been
Taking the load center concept to a higher level Miles discussed a major force at work in the intermodal field the drive by carriers to avoid a whole coast In other words the development of minilandbridge he clarified He predicted continued development of MLB in a number of trades but overall not so dramatic growth as in the past as the economic constraints of MLB begin to bite
Miles also predicted that carriers will try to extend their control by inland service some by ownership others without He said the development of these services is likely to be a gradual process unless intermodalism becomes too closely tied with pricing
Meanwhile he said we should all look over our shoulders at the railroads who he called the biggest intermodal carriers of all
Speakers Raymond Miles left and Leo Fitzpatrick offered differing views on the inevitability of load centers

Dedication ceremonies for Brunswicks International Seamens Home included a blessing of the house by Bishop Harry Shipps
The recent dedication of Brunswicks new international Seamens Home belies the fact that it has been operating at a brisk pace since June 1 The facility has had over 1000 visits by some 500 different seamen since its inception The repeat visits by crew members of the vessels which call the port regularly are the best indicator of the Homes popularity
H Carter Maddox Jr the Episcopalian minister who is director for the new enterprise provides a capsule description This work is much like a USO for merchant seamen The list of services offered is extensive
The Seamens Home affords a private comfortable setting where mariners may make domestic and international long distance telephone calls In addition by making the calls without operator assistance the user averages a fifty percent savings over the cost of a connection using a coinoperated phone
Recreational opportunities abound at the home and include television movies books board games and puzzles which according to Maddox enjoy considerable popularity He explains Our regular customers will borrow several puzzles and trade them in for different ones the next time theyre in port
For the visiting seaman language and transportation can combine to make the simple task of shopping for personal items a major challenge Maddox coordinates shopping excursions arranges transportation and even provides purchasing assistance during the actual outings

Anchor Age
Often the spiritual needs of the seafarer are attended as well In addition to providing bibles in many different languages the International Seamens Home facilitates attendance at religious services in the local community Their aid also extends to the area of crisis intervention A recent example involved a distraught Nicaraguan seaman who had been unable to contact his pregnant wife in that warravaged country Maddox put him in touch with a local Catholic priest who was able to counsel him and subsequently arranged for the muchneeded telephone conversation
This episode illustrates that while Maddox is an Episcopalian the home is interdenominational in its approach
The Brunswick Ministerial Association is a sponsor of our work Maddox explains adding Our Board of Trustees has members from all the different churches These representatives of
various faiths are at Maddoxs disposal to assist him in dealing with the seamen who visit the home
The key to the early success of the new endeavor has been the unflagging support of the Brunswick community Startup funds came from a corporate trust where individual donations ranging from 10 to 3500 were forthcoming Donations of equipment supplies magazine subscriptions and even the building housing the home itself helped the enterprise through its early stages A last source of funding which does not comprise a major income resource nevertheless shows that the larger gifts are certainly appreciated Maddox reports regular donations ranging from a dollar or two up to twenty dollars received from the seamen who frequent the home
The list of services is impressive but they only hint at the two main benefits afforded by the International Seamens
At the grand opening of the new Seamens Home young musicians from the St Francis Xavier school band got a look at how the old pros did it The gospel serenade was provided by the Glynn County male gospel chorus
Home relaxation in a setting away from the microcosm that is an oceangoing vessel and camradery Carter Maddox reports that guests share not only the company of their Brunswick hosts but of their seagoing peers as well He says When we have more than one ship in the seamen seem to enjoy meeting with their counterparts in a neutral setting This is important because in most cases they wouldnt think of going to other ships
Maddox sees the opening of the home as a symptom of the recent and potential growth in the Port of Brunswick In the short time he has been open increasing vessel activity and awareness of the homes availability have combined to push the number of visits steadily higher
Greek Central American Chinese and Filipino seamen are among those most frequently seen relaxing in the International Seamens Home The new facility makes the port more attractive to them and consequently to the steamship lines who employ them
Carter Maddox offers the best summary of the new homes impact Discussing Captain So a newfound personal friend and regular visitor Maddox says He told me he used to dread coming to Brunswick because there was no place for he and his crewmen who didnt drink to go Now all thats changed
International Seamens Home President Steve Gardner handled MC chores at the recent dedication of the facility

As they visited together these common threads often breached the gap between the two groups with such different cultural backgrounds While three interpreters were available many English transportation terms were instantly recognized
The Shimizu guests had a full itinerary for their visit They first arrived in Atlanta and after meeting Gov Joe Frank Harris in Atlanta were treated to a reception at the World Trade Club Hosted by a Savannah delegation representing the Savannah Port Authority the Georgia Ports Authority Savannahs Chamber of Commerce and the City of Savannah the reception included a welcome from George Berry commissioner of Georgias Department of Industry and Trade
