PERSPECTIVE
The Georgia Legislature has continued its tradition of participation in the transportation explosion in the state We have been notified that the FY supplemental budget includes 10 million in bonds for completion of container berth 5 The project is on schedule toward a January 1986 completion date and will include a 1000 foot berth three additional highspeed container cranes and 60 acres of paved storage
Container berth 5 has been designed with the surge in intermodalism in mind Recent and planned improvements suggest that Georgias surface transportation providers share Georgia Ports Authoritys outlook as to the future of container traffic
The Atlanta City Council has approved the Seaboard Systems construction of the Hulsey Yard in the southeastern quadrant of the city The 21 million undertaking will be located on the site of the old Georgia Railroad yard Hulsey will be a dedicated intermodal facility
This announcement comes on the heels of CSX recent introduction of daily overnight train service between Savannah and Atlanta The carrier loads COFC and TOFC units on the premises each afternoon and delivers them to Atlanta at dawn the following day Once in Atlanta containers can be delivered by motor carriers on a samesay basis for a 300400 mile radius In addition containers arrive early enough to connect with CSX fleet of through trains outbound to destinations throughout the entire eastern half of the country
Hulsey Yard will have a most beneficial effect on these overnight train operations
By eliminating the throughcity pull to the Tilford Yard now in use some three hours will be chopped from the transit time This will permit the railroad to take container deliveries later into the evening without affecting the dawn arrival schedule In short Hulsey will permit more concentration of dedicated piggyback ramptoramp operations
Spirited competition between the two rail giants serving Savannah has always been the order of the day and Norfolk Southern has honed its intermodal scheduling as well
Recently implemented transit time improvements have brought points along NS network closer to Savannah than ever before Each weekday the line pulls containers from its Savannah yard at 5 pm to Macon where they join the northbound train destined for Atlanta Upon arrival around noon the next day boxes can be dispersed to a lineup of outbound flatcars destined for points throughout the midwestem and central US The net effect has been to improve Norfolk Southern delivery times by as much as 36 hours to certain areas
An area of increasing activity has been traffic moving to and from Savannah through Atlanta originating in or destined for Gulf of Mexico port cities and the Gulf region as a whole The load center concept has led many lines to forego direct calls in the Gulf in favor of mini and microbridge connections to strategically located East Coast ports The everincreasing sophistication of the SavannahAtlanta surface transportation network makes this a most cost effective alternative
On the highway front the State of Georgia has pitched in again Following extensive research by the State Department of Transportation bonds have been authorized for the construction of Corridor Z which will connect Columbus Georgia with the Port of Brunswick This routing will carry the four lane road through rich agricultrual land regions offering direct access to export markets and sources for raw materials
Corridor Z only hints at things to come A proposed developmental highway program will produce 4 four lane connectors designed to stimulate economic development in previously isolated areas A priority item from the GPA point of view would be an AugustaSavannah highway
With calls for increased U S exports abounding and with a rebounding industrial economy producing increased raw material and consumer demand sophisticated transportation systems are more important than ever The Georgia transportation community is providing a unified response in the form of new port rail and highway services and facilities With the industrialization and populating of the new South continuing change and expansion will become the norm for the regions transportation providers Can container berth six be very far behind

Among the diverse cargoes moving in international trade rolling stock is unique Defined by some as anything moving on wheels or tracks Bob Pouch president of Barber Steamship Lines Inc suggested rolling stock may also include almost any type of object with wheels placed underneath He said many awkward and oversized pieces such as oil refinery tanks transformers helicopters and other extremely heavy pieces are accommodated by Barber Blue Seas and Barber West Africa Lines RoRo vessels in that manner
Rolling stock enjoys a special flexibility where modes of transportation are concerned No other cargo can be driven directly into cargo storage areas And other modes are available such as containers into which smaller units including forklifts and some tractors may be driven Racks and open containers provide the frame and support for the cargo while allowing for efficient handling by container cranes further facilitating the shipment of rolling stock via this mode Wheeled cargoes may also be handled just as any other piece of heavy equipment breakbulkstyle
Different markets and different shippers require different modes of transportation Sometimes a shipper may be flexible and will look for the most costeffective mode In other instances speed may be of the essence Under todays difficult economic circumstances
Ample dockside open storage helps keep cargo turnaround and therefore costs to a minimum
a highly competitive market makes selection of the appropriate delivery mode even more critical Despite these problems recent history evidences continued strong activity for rolling stock in certain markets
RoRo Roll onRoll off vessels are a growing trend because of their versatility and are particularly wellsuited for rolling stock Equipped with a heavy duty ramp which is lowered at port arrival these vessels are essentially an extension of the dock Their ramp connects port pavement with a parking network within the vessel
Barber Blue Sea one of five RoRo carriers calling Savannah see chart page 8 boasts the largest RoRo fleet in the world today Three 2400 TEU Supercarriers joined their fleet in 1984 to equal nine RoRo vessels These newbuildings can carry all types of fullyassembled machines and vehicles A 39foot width and 20foot height are the only limitations In addition Barber West Africa Line is the only RoRo
carrier providing service to West Africa
Pouch said major shippers include those of agricultural machinery mobile homes school buses cars trucks aircraft specialized machinery and oil well drilling rigs Explaining that import export ratios vary enormously from voyage to voyage Pouch said exports are generally manufactured items indigenous to a specific area He said that rolling stock may comprise 20 to 50 percent of total cargo per shipment
Pouch said BBS main export areas are the Middle East Far East and the Mediterranean In fact they have recently added Mediterranean service to ports of Barcelona and Leghorn see page 33 Pouch said that due to the hard US dollar Americanmade products are not
A good portion of rolling stock moves on Roll onRoll off vessels such as the one shown here
as competitively priced overseas and the amount of export activity is declining
Many ships are sailing nearly empty and coming back full he noted explaining that most ships leaving American ports have substantial unused commercial capacity At the same time carriers are taking advantage of foreign shipyard subsidies and now enjoy new equipment with lower operating costs and increased competition Pouch added
We must book freight in declining markets at declining rates Pouch summarized Thats pressure Ive never

seen it as intense as it is today Barber Blue Sea whose main import cargo ports range from Singapore through Japan well illustrates the imbalance in USFar East trade As Pouch said ships with import cargo are carrying heavy loads In testimony before a Senate committee Lionel Olmer Under Secretary of Commerce for International Trade said the US is leading the way to world recovery and our deficit shows it
In 1982 the USJapan imbalance stood at 19 billion It was estimated to exceed 30 billion in 1984 according to Olmer And its expected to grow to approximately 36 billion in 1985 accounting for a rapidly growing share of the overall deficit he explained
A 30 billion US deficit in
The containerized vessel can accept rolling stock both enclosed in standard containers top in flat racks or open tops center or on bolsters bottom
manufactures trade with Japan is putting pressure on many sectors of American industry Olmer said Passenger cars topped the list with an 8161 billion deficit Particularly relevant to rolling stock manufacturers trucks and special purpose vehicles amounted to the sixth largest negative component of the US Japan imbalance totalling almost 15 billion
Although the hard dollar is affecting everyone involved in transportation the trade balance picture is not always bleak In fact export potential led Atlanttrafik Express Services to recently institute the first RoRo service from the East Coast of North America to Australia and New Zealand
Claes C Uggla president of AES noted that the importexport ratio of rolling stock to these areas is zero percent import to 100 percent export He said the regions of Australia and New Zealand do not have the facilities to manufacture AES major commodity moving these day the harvesting machine
There seems to be an upforce trend in these areas Uggla explained They were short of money for a number of years They have money now and are forced to replenish particularly Australia which is so rich in natural resources and with a healthy wheat and corn production
Uggla said AES major shippers include National Harvester John Deere and Massey Ferguson Major origins include the US Midwest and Canada Typical cargoes other than harvester machines include locomotives rail cars and earth moving machines AES can handle rolling stock in all three modes RoRo breakbulk and container Uggla said RoRo is usually preferable since it is less expensive than LoLo Lift onLift off due to lower stevedoring costs
Southern Africa the major export area served by The Bank Line is like Australia in that the area doesnt have the ability to manufacture such products
as industrial tractors earth moving machines farm tractors and heavyduty offtheroad tractors Ed Chick senior owners representative North America for The Bank Line said these are the commodities moving by their major shippers including AllisChalmers J I Case Caterpillar and International Harvester
Chick said The Bank Lines rolling stock handled amounts to 10 percent of their total cargo what he called a liberal estimate in terms of quality and not volume He said almost all of the wheeled cargo is southbound export cargo transported breakbulk throughout all regions of Southern Africa The only inbound rolling stock he said is used material returned for refurbishment or to be resold
Almost all breakbulk vessels may carry rolling stock It can usually be handled as any other piece of heavy equipment often requiring heavy lift capabilities of the carrier and port terminal Concurrently almost all containerships may carry rolling stock if the cargo will fit in the standard container 20 or 40 feet long 8V2 feet high and 8 feet wide Other alternatives are available for shipping by container and benefiting from the efficient moves of the container crane High cube containers may be used for tall cargo Similarly opentop and flatrack containers extend the containership option to rolling stock with height andor width dimensions exceeding the standard box Flat racks and rag tops are stowed aboard ship at the uppermost container level the same location where uncontainerized units can be secured in breakbulk configuration
The choices are there and the competition is there And as Uggla said While the country of supply may change the demand will always be there A shipper need only do business wisely right
Not quite The hard dollar must always be considered these days Not only is it hurting US exports in international competition it is allowing US imports to put a big dent in domestic markets
A business planning official at WABCO exporters of Haulpak trucks said the strong US dollar has impacted

their market in that 58 percent of the international market was served by North American products in 1981 In 1984 that share shrunk to 48 percent Sixtyfour percent of their total activity is in international business the planner said
Despite the difficult economic circumstances rolling stock continues to move As Barber Lines Pouch described the dock scene with assorted equipment awaiting passage You may see a lot of variety down there but not the quantities you used to
Despite the advent of containerization shipping demand continues strong for conventional handling of rolling stock often requiring heavy lift capability
WABCOs offthehighway dump trucks are typical rolling stock cargo used in construction and mining projects around the world Since their smallest model is 12 feet wide the cargo requires special transportation considerations They can ship only two models RoRo through Savannah The rest require some dismantling With the wheels removed they are handled breakbulk
A WABCO international traffic official said that in 1984 WABCO shipped through Savannah 25 units to such countries such as India Yugoslavia and Argentina All these shipments moved breakbulk We need a very heavy lift capacity he said explaining the largest Haulpak truck weighs 1825 tons
The line of rolling stock crossing GPA facilities is as varied in type as it is in size
Located in Peoria Illinois WABCO is a good example of Savannahs midwest connection Of the 25 units moving across GPAs Garden City Terminal 16 traveled to Savannah by truck and nine by rail for a 6436 truckrail ratio Rail is most cost efficient the traffic official said but transit times sometimes dictate the mode of transportation
WABCO chose Savannah for these shipments Why What must a terminal operator offer WABCOs traffic official said the top factor is the wide range of steamship services available to a port Inland connections and port costs also

rank high on the list along with the capability for open storage and heavy lifts previously mentioned
Steamship lines seem to weigh the physical capabilities of ports and then make decisions based on more subjective criteria such as the ability of a port to attract business Pouch said Savannah has established for itself a good reputation as a cargo gathering port in terms of international trade It has been aggressive in promoting itself as an importexport center and has been responsive to its users needs The Bank Lines Chick said they came to Savannah because they were attracted by the cargo which he said has grown well in proportion to other ports AES Uggla said their research predicted they could get a reasonable amount of cargo at Savannah The research was correct he added

such valuable cargoes as rolling stock US producers compete with the world just to keep a foothold within their market Economic conditions keep the pressure on So whats next
The overall picture is not expected to change drastically or rapidly Barber Lines President Pouch said he expects the adverse shipping and economic environment to continue possibly for the next two years
WABCO said they expect their market to increase 15 percent in 1985 over 1984 Depressed metal prices and surplus capacity combine with the strong dollar to make things tough The expansion of the developing countries and a continued moderate interest rate will help soften the blow they said
The economic state of the area served by shipping lines strongly influences their forecasts For AES rich areas of Australia and New Zealand Uggla said The only deterrent factor is the high dollar The Bank Line serving Southern Africa expects continued adverse impacts on US exports due to the ratio of the dollar to the rand which Chick said was reaching an alltime low He said it has become exceedingly difficult for US
Haulpak 170D is a brawny representative of the WABCO export portfolio
manufacturers to sell into the market As a consequence he said it will be very difficult to improve over 1984 results
Chick concluded saying the demand for US equipment should respond when Southern Africas economy improves WABCO looks for potential new markets in centrally planned economies Barber Lines Pouch sees a continuing niche for US specialized agricultural machines And AES recently received a tender from Australia for 45 railcars to move through Savannah further evidence that despite the current economic doldrums pockets of brisk activity continue to exist
As the carriers and terminals compete they rely on cargo offerings Similarly as the shippers compete to win they also rely on world market conditions Their global interdependence is obvious It is encouraging to watch the various links of the chain customize themselves to the rolling stock trade for as AES Uggla summarized We see a positive trend in rolling stock despite the hard dollar

Linerboard which is used to make boxes fills many cubic feet of covered storage at the Port of Savannah Thus it is appropriate that a new steamship service connect the port city with the largest boxing plant in the world Industria Cartonera in Ecuador which reportedly consumes 85000 tons of paper per year
Ecuadorian Line Inc has introduced a weekly lastout service to South America with the visit of the MV Albula Calling Savannah every Sunday the three reefer vessels the Bernina Albula and Hilco Skater reach Panama on Thursday of each week and then proceed to Guayaquil Ecuador Linerboard from Union Camp Mead Continental and Owens Illinois will typically travel this route southbound Northbound the line will use its reefer capability to bring fruit from South America
The Albula and Bernina are 474footlong sister ships each with 510000 cubic

Ecuadorian Line is part of the Noboa Group from Ecuador which markets Bonita Bananas thats what the boxes are for under the name of Pacific Fruit
Ecuadorian Line will be carrying linerboard to the worlds largest boxing plant located in Ecuador
The Noboa Group also owns the boxing plant mentioned above Pacific Fruit is the third largest banana company in the world and the only one privately owned according to Dennis A Meenan president of Ecuadorian Line He said his steamship company will celebrate its tenth anniversary on January 31 1985
Meenan said Atlantic ports of call used to be New York and Miami Bananas are still delivered to New York but he said Miami cargoes have been covered by Gulf Coast calls Savannah was the obvious port to fill the extra day in the schedule he said The professionals at GPA make it a comfortable port to work with he added

Something Going On
Port Authorities Contemplate and Formulate ETCs
Export Trading Companies ETCs and the roles of US ports were recently discussed at a conference sponsored by the Southern Growth Policies Board and the US Economic Development Administration Serving as host Gov Joe Frank Harris described the conference as a model for additional cooperative efforts in international trade development
While ETCs have been around for quite some time the Export Trading Company Act of 1982 has made the concept more feasible and attractive In an effort to encourage exports this act provides for antitrust immunity and bank ownership of ETCs Prior to passage of the 1982 Act it seems potential export activities were hindered by fear of antitrust prosecution and lack of financing
A preclearance certificate of review issued by the Department of Commerce in concurrence with the Department of Justice acknowledges that specified activities undertaken by the ETC are not in violation of the antitrust laws The threat of government action is thus reduced
The Act has also opened up the opportunity for bank holding companies to acquire an equity interest in ETCs as much as 100 percent However banks are slow to respond to this newlyfound freedom It was suggested that a few banks are dabbling their toes in while others watch to see what happens
Clarence J Brown deputy director of the US Department of Commerce said 45 certificates for antitrust immunity have been issued to date James Lacy director of the DOC Office of ETC Affairs said that no certificate has been denied
Ronald J Blandford Kentucky Representative and vice chairman of the Southern Growth Policies Board standing is flanked by LR James V Lacy with the US Department of Commerce Robert Turner representing the American Association of Port Authorities and Ronald C Wakeford with the Council for ETCs as he moderates the first session of the SGPBs ETC conference
Clarence Brown US Department of Commerce deputy secretary explained that the Export Trading Act of 1982 made it possible for public entities including port authorities to establish ETCs
although some have been returned for more information
However There are literally thousands of ETCs Brown added citing 2000 registrants for a contact facilitation service initiated by the DOC providing information and various export services to ETCs
Given this background where do the port authorities fit in The public sector including port authorities has various options for involvement in ETCs according to Richard Cooper manager of Coopers Lybrands consulting division They may act as a catalyst providing trade advisory service or become involved in the financing whether by seed capital joint venture or whole ownership Ron Wakeford executive director of the Council for Export Trading Companies said any fullservice ETC should provide market analysis development and sales trade flow management and trade financing
At a minimum public entities should provide outreach and information James V Lacy said
While an ETC may fit logically with a port authority Robet Turner general manager of the Brunswick Port Authority in Georgia said I am a firm believer in the private sector taking the lead in forming ETCs Deputy Secretary Brown agreed saying government should not provide competition in areas where the private sectors efforts are working He advised the public sector to give way to the private sector when possible

Kevin Rowe international trade representative of the City of Newport News Virginias Department of Development evidenced the fine line between public and private We the Newport News ETC have been greeted by the private sector with tolerance he said
While two highlypublicized port authorities have developed ETCs each with their successes the picture is not all rosy It is tough tough work said Herb Ouida director of XPORT the Port Authority Trading Company of New York and New Jersey Barry Owen director of the Virginia Port Authoritys VEXTRAC explained It takes time to get things going
Ouida said it took 18 months to see sales begin After working for two years he said sales have been made for 32 companies out of the 96 companies represented He said XPORT is not expected to be selfsustaining until 1987 Jim Petkovits international marketing specialist for the Philadelphia Development Corp advised port authority officials to be prepared to creatively work hard and spend money if planning to establish an ETC
These ETC representatives cited several motivations for establishing what was called by Ouida a mechanism of trade XPORT wants to create jobs and protect the port Virginia wants to increase tonnage and Newport News and Philadelphia both want to increase tax revenue and create new jobs
The conference examined advantages and disadvantages to the establishment of an ETC by a port authority Rowe specified one benefit remarking that foreigners are already used to dealing with port authorities
Discussing several disadvantages GPA Executive Director George Nichols questioned the propriety of a port authority taking title to goods which ETCs do I just cant see us getting into that role he said With all the trading companies vying for business in Georgia he said marketing products is not something Georgia Ports Authority should do
Nichols also mentioned the highly developed specialized skills required such as those utilized by Japans successful equivalent to the ETC the sogo shosha Edward M Monty Graham associate professor at the University of North Caro

Don Fishero deputy director of the Savannah Airport Commission pointed out many advantages of both foreign trade zones FTZs and ETCs
linaChapel Hills school of business administration agreed saying most trading firms are specialized many quite narrowly defined For successful ETC business the management must understand not only the individual foreign market but also each specific product market
What kinds of products are typical Ouida said XPORT has dealt with chemicals food industrial products and electronic peripherals Graham said the Japanese generally handle lowtechtype standardized manufactures He said hightech is an area many of the Japanese have tended to shy away from because of difficult servicing requirements
An interesting point surfaced at the conference and that is the functional combination of foreign trade zones and export trading companies Typical lowtech products handled by an ETC may be imported into a US FTZ processed and then reexported with no duties avoiding quota restrictions
As the evolution of both the ETC and FTZ gains steam Don Fishero deputy director of the Savannah Airport Commission summed up the constant dynamics Theres something going on he said

MAP International Moves to Brunswick
MAP Medical Assistance Program International a Christian global health organization which annually provides medical supplies medicines and health care professionals to missions and hospitals in 75 developing countries recently announced its decision to move its headquarters to Brunswick Georgia
The announcement was made jointly by Larry Dixon MAP president and the Honorable A C Knight III mayor of Brunswick Dixon said the Brunswick site was chosen because of its access to the ports of Brunswick Savannah and Jacksonville The proximity of the site to Interstate95 and the Glynco Jetport Brunswicks quality of life and the cooperation and commitment of the local leadership were also decisive factors he said
Pamela Wong assistant director of public information anticipated 91 percent of MAPs total shipments will go through Savannah in 1985 She said they have hopes to use Brunswick more often in the future perhaps when a container facility becomes available Based on last years figures Wong expects total volume to reach 3000 tons this year The relocation will substantially reduce time and expenses related to shipping according to Dixon
MAP has purchased a 626 acre tract in the GlyncoMcBride Jet Park on which it will build a 43000 sq ft warehouse distributionoffice building Groundbreaking has been set for early spring with

Happy faces are not such a rarity when MAP International sends assistance
a completion date expected this fall In the interim MAP will be operating from a hangar at the Glynco Jetport and expects to begin receiving shipments immediately
The first shipment through Georgia Ports Authority facilities in Savannah is expected around April 15 1985 Wong said the organization ships some 15 million yearly in donated medicines and supplies to 450 mission hospitals Most is shipped by sea she said except for emergency situations such as the current crisis in Ethiopia These shipments go by air In fact Wong said some airlines will donate space for the emergency relief shipments She said these tax deductible donations would also constitute valuable assistance from ocean shipping lines
The agency currently employs 65 at its Wheaton IL operation It expects to hire 35 locally in Brunswick at professional semiskilled and unskilled levels The headquarters operation will have an annual payroll in excess of 1 million
Founded in Chicago in 1954 MAP maintains international offices in Ecuador and Kenya and a regional office in San Francisco A regional office will also be established in the former headquarters location in Illinois

FINANCIALLY
SPEAKING
Its a very unusual time Michael A Callen told his audience at the eighteenth annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
Senior vice president Africa and Latin America for Citibank Callen encapsuled the current national financial status relative to transportation and trade Explaining the high volatility of the US dollar the tremendous national account deficit and the present strength of the dollar he provided valuable background for his fiscal forecast
Callen said that for the last two years the instability of the dollar has been higher than during World War II In the 1960s the prime interest rate changed 15 times in the 1970s 177 times Callen said the 1980s are experiencing an even greater volatility rate
As the prime rate fluctuates the years current national account has reached an historically high deficit level which Callen predicted would reach 80 billion by the end of 1984 These are truly extraordinary numbers Callen said adding that this US debt is larger than the previous 20 years combined
Georgia Ports Authority has moved its New York trade development office Still housed in the One World Trade Center New York NY 10048 the new suite number is 7705
The telephone number remains the same and is 212 4320197 So does the telex number which is 12049
Staffing GPAs New York office are John J Donohue director of port development George Povall district manager and Charlotte Reiner administrative assistant
These factors add up to a strange state of affairs Callen said The US the strongest economy in the world is being financed by less wealthy countries We are growing faster with a good inflation rate than those who are financing us Callen said Its not a case of the wealthy financing those less fortunate but vice versa
Finally Callen cited two reasons for the very strong dollar One is the large gap between the US real interest rates and those of Europe and Asia Callen said this differential is in favor of the US at a record level Second is the perceived political stability in the United States and the current atmosphere of pessimism in Europe In talking you get the sense that the United States is a very different place through European eyes than it was four or five years ago This is positive Callen said
Job development further demonstrates these differences From 1972 to 1982 the US created about 20 million new jobs primarily in small companies Callen said In comparison about 3 million Europeans lost their jobs The difference between their performance and ours during that period of time is absolutely startling Callen said
So how does this affect those in the transportation industry What does Callen predict He foresaw a chain of events interest rates will go up in the first quarter
The New York office GPAs Eastern Regional headquarters is responsible for customer services and sales for the entire states of Connecticut Delaware Maine Maryland Massachusetts New Hampshire New Jersey New York Pennsylvania Rhode Island and Vermont as well as portions of Ohio Virginia and West Virginia Their territory also includes the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland
GPA operates other trade development offices in Atlanta Chicago Savannah Athens Greece Oslo Norway Hong Kong and Tokyo Japan
of 1985 due to a 12 percent growth in the monetary supply during 1982 and 1983 demand will increase resulting in higher prices rather than increased production when inflation rates increase three percent or more real interest rates will come down significantly leaving us poised for a drop in the dollar perhaps as drastic as the recent rise
Callen said a great deal of capital in the US today is owned by foreigners who have a significant exchange profit on their investment While they want to keep that exchange profit as soon as the psychology turns around and they get a sense that the dollar will come back to realistic levels Callen said conditions will be ripe for a dramatic fall in the dollar
Callen said he agreed with President Reagan in that the federal deficit has nothing to do with the high interest rate He said the deficit is a function of the size of the government not how its financed
Responding to questions put forth by conference panelists Callen addressed the state of affairs in Latin America He said Latin American currencies which he claims have been oversold will strengthen as the dollar drops He said that just as many of the prediction concerning Mexico never materialized many negative predictions of Latin America may never occur The economies of Mexico Brazil and Argentina grew faster than any other in real terms during the 1970s he said
The economy of the future is Brazil Callen suggested He said the problems suffered there are almost a replication of what happened in the United States in the 1850s balance of payments crises and defaults on foreign debts Its not atypical of a countrys development process at this point in the cycle he said
Its a good time to be an exporter Callen concluded saying the outlook for the US in the next few years is favorable when compared with recent years Whether the dollar falls or not he expects exports to grow

Savannah Cargo Generates Record Collections
PORT MOVES UP A NOTCH IN RANKINGS
Producing record US Customs collections of 290621272 in fiscal year 1984 the Savannah District has moved up a notch in US Customs rankings during the last quarter of that fiscal year
Savannah had the fourteenth largest customs collections in FY84 When the results of the last three months of FY84 came in the district ranked thirteenth producing 93898951 in revenues
District Director of US Customs Gerald J McManus said wearing apparel brings in the most revenue largely due to KMarts distribution center located on port facilities Explaining that this com
modity has very high rates of duty and requires complex customs controls McManus said Savannah is the sixth largest wearing apparel port in the country
Other major revenue generators moving through Savannah are footwear foodstuffs chemicals alcoholic beverages toys steel and steel articles sugar and plywood McManus said
The strong dollar which plays a major part in the US trade deficit has also caused an importexport imbalance at many ports The Port of Savannah however has maintained a comfortable balance during these unprecedented conditions with the amount of exports equalling that of imports
SUE HUBER

SHATTERS TONNAGE RECORD
Georgia Ports Authoritys total deepwater facilities accommodated an unprecedented number of tons last year These stateoftheart facilities experienced a six percent increase in tonnages handled during the 1984 calendar year This includes all breakbulk dry bulk liquid bulk and containerized cargo
In 1983 these terminals which include Garden City Teminal and Ocean Terminal in Savannah and East River in Brunswick handled 5969748 tons In 1984 the total increased to 6350262 tons
GPAs CONTAINERPORT at Garden City Terminal also boasting record tonnages is largely responsible for the impressive increases The new calendar year record 2596099 containerized tons handled represents a 32 percent increase over 1983
30
This continued performance at CONT AINERPORT 1983 also set a record resulted in construction startup on a fifth container berth backed up by three additional cranes and 60 acres of paved storage Located adjacent to CONTAINERPORTs four other berths it will accommodate the increased traffic resulting from Savannahs popularity as a load center for containership operations
Liquid bulk cargo also contributed to the exceptional results made apparent at the end of the year Over 925000 tons of liquid bulk crossed the docks at Garden City for an increase over 1983 of 40 percent In fact the terminal itself had a record year maneuvering 5930623 tons over its docks Even breakbulk cargo which is experiencing major drops at other ports maintained its stability with a slight five percent drop

Barber Blue Sea is launching an independent liner service from the US to the Mediterranean commencing with Barber Toba voyage 3551 it was announced by Raymond R Miles executive vice president of BBS
The new service will be incorporated into the BBS eastbound trade route and will feature SuperCarrier sailings every ten days from US ports to Barcelona and LivomoLeghom with feeder service to Fos and oncarriage to inland destinations All vessels in BBS existing service will make the Mediterranean stops The service will include what BBS officials call the fastest time to Barcelona eight days and LivomoLeghom nine days of any line serving the trade
Bob Pouch president of Barber Steamship Lines Inc general agents for the service said this is a logical addition for two reasons First he said the ships are able to call these new ports with little additional time on the schedule By speeding up the vessels BBS can maintain their worldwide schedule he said
The second reason is the existence of an obvious market coupled with BBS desire to investigate new markets Pouch said their primary motivation for the addition is the cargo moving from the Mediterranean to the Middle East and Far East Explaining the growing trade between these areas Pouch said Southern Europe Spain and Italy are experiencing good export volumes by picking up the slack caused by the strong US dollar
Both FCL and LCL cargo will be accepted within the full spectmm of containerized noncontainerized and RoRo cargo traditionally handled by the BBS SuperCarriers Pouch predicted that manufactures food products consumer goods and rolling stock represent typical cargoes traversing this route
Barber Blue Sea is a joint venture of Norwegian British and Swedish shipping interests Their service to Savannah dates back to the turn of the century beginning with the calls of Barber Lines Pouch said
The Barber Toba is nestled into berth at CONTAINERPORT Savannah initiating BBS Mediterranean service

JULIA
EXPANDS MINERAL SHIPPING FLEET
With the recent delivery of the MV Julia to Mineral Shipping Pte Ltd the dry bulk carrier fleet now encompasses three vessels Augmented by time charter vessels the line provides biweekly service to the Port of Savannah their home port in the States
The 15500 ton capacity Julia joins the 17000 ton capacity Patty and 9800 ton capacity Eliza to handle such typical inbound cargoes as magnesite from Greece and salt from Holland Outbound cargoes such as clay leaves Savannah and silicon sand exits via Brunswick
Removable bulkheads have been added in the ships holds 2 and 4 increasing the total to six While many lines wont consider handling parcels less than 2500 tons Mineral Shipping will accommodate quantities as small as 800 tons Their six holds will also enhance their capability to handle different grades The bulkheads will be removable So if we get for example some steel well have enough room explained Gunter W Zagel in charge of Mineral Shippings chartering operations Zagel said the flexibility provided by these refurbishments has resulted in increasing business for the Port of Savannah
Headquartered in Singapore with a logistics office in West Germany Mineral Shipping has been servicing Savannah for almost eight years

The MV Patty will typically carry outbound cargoes such as clay from Savannah and silicon sand from Brunswick according to Mineral Shipping officials

AnchorAge
The MV Julia is the most recent Mineral Shipping vessel to be refurbished which calls Savannah She joins the Eliza and Patty all which have new removable bulkheads allowing more flexibility in stowage
The MV Eliza loads Kaolin clay at Georgia Kaolin International across the river from Savannahs historic district

Each vessel has four cranes onboard capable of handling up to 25 tons The Eliza is 421 feet long the Patty is 500 feet and the Julia is 485 feet
Deadweight tonnages for the ships are 10042 long tons 17981 long tons and 16291 long tons respectively The Patty and Julia are Singaporeflag vessels and the Eliza has a Greek nationality
Foreign ports of call for the service include Rotterdam Delfzijl some German ports and the entire Mediterranean especially Spain Italy and Greece The company which began business in 1977 has their own warehouse in Rotterdam where they keep control through inland departure Business statistics look good according to Zagel Despite current difficult times our levels are increasing 10 to 15 percent a year he said
Zagel predicted that competition from calcium carbonate may hurt the US clay export business He noted that clay manufacturers are still confident however because calcium carbonate gives paper makers some headaches Therefore business should stay good he said
He also observed that slurry clay was supposed to be the wave of the future and said Mineral Shipping vessels may be reoutfitted to carry more slurry as the trend eventuates A fiveyear contract with Haindl WalsumWest Germany has been signed for the Patty to carry slurry
Properly maintained at a 70 percent solid 30 percent liquid ratio slurry clay offers several advantages As opposed to dry bulk clay slurry clay can go directly into production without prior processing Slurry clay also has advantages in the avoidance of dusting What I personally see is environmental pressures by governments forcing a trend to slurry Zagel said

Reclaimer Comes Through Savannah as Brunswick Facility Nears Completion
Shipped in seven pieces the Colonels Island scraper reclaimer required heavy lift capacity for its heaviest piece which weighed 325 tons
Warm welcomes greeted a heavylift shipment to Georgia Ports Authority docks in Savannah recently The cargo was a 1045 ton scraper reclaimer bound for GPAs new dry bulk facility on Colonels Island
Arriving on a Euram vessel the Pingwo Venture the reclaimer is one of the largest of its kind in the world noted Wayne Brooks project manager for Lockwood Greene He explained that the equipment will retrieve 2000 tons of product per hour from within the 135000 square foot flat storage building The reclaimer places the product on a conveyor belt running to the transfer tower where the product is directed into a 600 ton surge bin Thus continuous loadings may be ensured despite interruptions in reclaimer or delivery operations
The scraper reclaimer was designed and fabricated by Koch Material Handling Systems located in Norwalk Connecticut GPAs 50ton capacity heavy lift crane discharged the cargo from the vessel The cargo was shipped in seven pieces ranging from 325 tons to two tons then transported to Brunswick by truck Eller and Co were stevedores
Costing 1088 million the reclaimers installation date has been set for April 1 1985 according to Brooks Following a startup period it will be completed and in operation hopefully by May 20 he added Even before the reclaimer begins operation drybulk cargo may be handled at Colonels Island As soon as the building is ready in midApril this cargo may move two ways It can be loaded on the vessel directly from railcars or frontend loaders may move the product stored in the building onto the export conveyor

GEORGIA
Reprinted with permission from Business America Magazine
An estimated 26000 jobs were required in the state to manufacture products used by other establishments in the United States as inputs for manufactures that were ultimately exported Thus an estimated 51400 jobs in Georgia were directly or indirectly dependent on exports of manufactured goods These jobs represented 97 percent of all manufacturing employment in the state
Half of the jobs dependent on manufactured exports were concentrated in the textile products transportation equipment and nonelectric machinery industries These jobs accounted for one of four jobs in the transportation equipment industry and one of fiveten jobs in the nonelectric machinery and textile products industries
An additional 54700 jobs were generated in nonmanufacturing industries that supply materials and services supporting manufactured exports Georgias total employment related to manufactured exports in 1981 amounted to 106000
Georgia stands second among the 50 states in exports of textile mill products and apparel third in paper products and tenth in lumber and twentysecond in total manufactured exports
Georgias exports of manufactures totaled 25 billion in 1981 an increase of 76 percent over 1977 The state accounted for 15 percent of the US total Exports from Georgia firms rose much faster than the 44 percent increase in the states manufacturing production from 1977 to 1981
Georgias 25 billion of manufactured exports provided direct employment for an estimated 25400 workers in 1981 From 1977 to 1981 total employment in manufacturing was up 9 percent while employment directly related to exports jumped by 34 percent
It is estimated that Georgias farm employment related to exports in 1982 amounted to 24700 or about one out of every five farmers
Transportation equipment and textile mill products were the largest exports in 1981 together accounting for 40 percent of total foreign sales of manufactures In addition exports of paper products chemicals and nonelectric machinery were each valued at more than 200 million
Foreign sales of transportation equipment the highest valued export from the state totaled 590 million in 1981 Exports were onethird more than the 1977 value while overall production in the states transport equipment industry declined by 4 percent
Textile mill exports from Georgia were valued at 415 million in 1981
Georgias foreign sales of paper products more than doubled in the four years to a total of 311 million Export

growth from 1977 to 1981 was considerably faster than the 78 percent rise in production in this Georgia industry
Export sales of chemicals advanced to 264 million in 1981 almost one and a half times the 1977 value Export growth from 1977 to 1981 was more than twice as fast as production growth in this industry
The Census Bureau has estimated that exportrelated manufactures including materials and parts for incorporation in products exported from elsewhere in the nation accounted for 105 percent of Georgias manufacturing production Thus of the expanded manufacturing output generated between 1977 and 1981 16 percent or 1 of every 6 was due to exportrelated shipments
Georgias share of US agricultural exports in fiscal year 1982 including some manufactures of farm origin totaled an estimated 700 million Soybeans wheat tobacco and peanuts were the principal farm products sold abroad Georgias exports of peanuts ranked first among the states and poultry ranked second to Arkansas
The sharp growth in exports of agricultural products from fiscal year 1977 to fiscal year 1982 accounted for 25 percent of the rise in farm sales and added substantially to the income of Georgia farmers In this period the export contribution to each dollar of the states farm sales increased from 21 to 22 cents
Exports of fishery products from Georgia rose from an estimated 15 million in 1977 to 19 million in 1981 Fresh and frozen shrimp valued at 12 million in 1981 was the major type shipped abroad
Georgia exported clay valued at 101 million in 1981 Most of these shipments were kaolin The state accounted for nearly all of the national output of that type of clay

GROWTH AT
Activity at the Bainbridge barge terminal has witnessed such unprecedented growth recently that terminal facilities nearly split a seam Just in time the board of directors at Georgia Ports Authority approved the construction of a 6000 square foot addition to the transit shed and a new 20000 square foot warehouse
Several long term leases including those with Domtar Industries Inc Morton Salt Air Products and International Minerals and Chemicals have committed 49000 square feet of storage at the Bainbridge Terminal The construction should be completed just before the saturation point is reached If necessary John Donaldson GPAs manager of railroads and barge facilities said they could raise the roof to handle prospects
The 6000 square foot addition will receive top priority To be completed in late spring of this year the project is
Bainbridge has seen more dry bulk recently than ever before Such high volumes are expected to increase encouraging GPA officials to construct new facilities
estimated to cost 108675
The new 20000 square foot bulk storage warehouse will be laminated timber with an arch frame and asphalt roof To be completed this summer the building is estimated to cost 400200 which includes site improvements and paving Lockwood Greene is design engineer for both projects
In a report to the board Donaldson predicted that the Bainbridge Terminal can quadruple what were doing right now Director of Operations JB Rollison agreed saying a quarter million tons wouldnt be anything
AnchorAge
Additions to the Bainbridge Terminal scheme will increase covered storage for dry bulk by 26000 square feet
Donaldson said tonnage for the first half of fiscal year 1985 equalled 69055 Compared with FY84 first half results of 21786 tons this amounts to a 215 percent growth
Donaldson also said that capital improvements such as a new fender and dolphin system and new paving for the entire facility have enhanced both the operating capabilities and physical appearance of the terminal Capital equipment such as a new outbound loading system has enabled GPA to improve service while reducing overall operating costs he added
These improvements have influenced the increased traffic Donaldson said For example he noted Morton Salt a longterm lessee brought their first barge to Bainbridge on Dec 31 1984 Their commitment becomes apparent with the

Huguley Acting Chairman of the Atlanta District Export Council has issued a standing invitation to beginning exporters to come in and watch his export sales group at work
They see us fill out export declarations and work with letters of credit and sight drafts the real handson type of thing he explains We can relieve some of their fears about exporting
Huguley cites a farm machinery manufacturer who responded to his invitation to visit the West Point plant The manufacturer who had not exported at all decided that selling overseas was less formidable than he thought Now exporting is a regular part of his sales program
Although West Points exports are down now because of the strong dollar the firm has exported 50 percent of its production of textile machinery for several years running
Huguley cautions beginning exporters not to be too disappointed if they do not make a sale on their first attempt Perseverance pays off he says
In selling overseas you must be prepared to be flexible and to do some innovative marketing according to Patrick Smith Vice President of Marketing for GIW Industries Inc of Grovetown Ga manufacturer of equipment used in mining dredging and heavy industry
Under todays marketing conditions you cant just say Here we are heres our product Smith says He explains that a US seller must adapt to different attitudes and ways of doing business in individual countries
In most cases however he finds exporting no different from doing business with American customers in GIWs specialized field There is no magic to it its not so mystifying he says
After exporters have mastered such fundamentals as the irrevocable letter of credit Smith is sure they will find selling overseas interesting and rewarding
We are not bashful about selling in any part of the Free World Smith says We have no restrictions or hangups GIW exports 15 to 20 percent of its production

These state export profiles are based on a study by the Commerce Departments International Trade Administration ITA from various US Government agencies data

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
Following an extended period of marketing analysis and facilities design our strategic planning is about to come to fruition in the Port of Brunswick Late this spring we will be in operation at two completely new terminals at Colonels Island and Mayors Point
Our long range master plan targeted Brunswick for development as a major dry and breakbulk importexport center The process commenced with the addition of dry bulk import capability to our existing East River Terminal The expansion took the form of a 700 ton per hour ship unloader and three ultramodern storage warehouses comprising 180000 square feet In addition small to medium sized export parcels of feeds feed ingredients and industrial minerals have been traversing the facility regularly
The Colonels Island facility will bring about a quantum leap in the ports dry bulk handling capability The terminal will become the epicenter of bulk export operations for the port offering particular appeal to high volume shippers With its
2000 ton per hour throughput capability Colonels Island will ultimately add 15 million tons annually to Brunswick harbor volume totals
Marketing strategy for bulk cargoes will revolve around large parcel shipments Commodities destined to receive concentrated sales attention include minerals chemicals fertilizers and ingredients and mixed feeds
Agriproducts expected to traverse the facility include wheat soybeans peanuts corn and other small grains
Neobulks particularly those requiring extensive storage or construction sites close by the pier are another cargo group which will receive a great deal of our attention Import automobiles plants for processing forest and agriproducts and lumber export facilities are just a few examples of operatons wellsuited to Colonels Island
Phase 1 will only scratch the surface of the potential available on Colonels Island It offers 2200 acres of desirable land for both deepwater and general industrial users Up to five more berths can be constructed along the bluff line to serve dry bulk and neobulk operations Exclusive use dedicated container facilities are another possibility
For industries desiring proximity to port facilities but not requiring their own berth the south end of the island provides numerous building sites of various size Rail highway and utility amenities already in place complete a most attractive package
While many ports have forgotten about breakbulk cargoes in the face of the container surge Georgias ports have not as evidenced by record breakbulk tonnages last fiscal year The completion of the Mayors Point Terminal has doubled our Brunswick facilities dedicated to handling these conventional cargoes The MPT complex includes three berths a 235000 square foot transit shed five acres of open storage and a 30 ton gantry crane With its highcube warehousing wide margins and heavy lift capability Mayors Point is ideally configured to handle the forest products
steel and other breakand neobulks high on our list of marketing objectives
The future for Brunswick Five more berths at Colonels Island new dry bulk breakbulk and neobulk customers exclusive user container facilities a foreign trade zone and volumes far in excess of current standards
Those of you who have elected to attend the Brunswick International Trade Conference will have the opportunity to see firsthand just what this 60 million infusion for new construction in Brunswick is all about For those of you who could not attend our sales staff would be delighted to detail our plans and progress for you in a oneonone setting If it looks like your needs and Brunswicks capabilities match well arrange a visit for you to look things over firsthand
The new look Brunswick harborscape presents an important alternative for dry and breakbulk shippers It is an efficient low cost port with strategic access to key markets throughout the south and midwest And now with the opening of Colonels Island and Mayors Point it is physically equipped to fulfill the needs of a varied shipper lineup

According to the American Forest Institute only Canada and the Soviet Union have larger forest resources than the US Our annual total timber growth however approaches that of the Soviet Union and exceeds that of Canada AFI figures onethird of the land in the US is covered by wooded areas of which twothirds is considered commercial
Over half 58 percent of this commercial forestland is in nonindustrial private ownership Fourteen percent is owned by industry and 28 percent by government

States Tom Harris professor of industrial management for the School of Forest Resources at the University of Georgia said that pioneers started cutting lumber in Jamestown in the early 1600s The gum naval stores industry one of Americas oldest began in the early 1600s with the discovery that longleaf pine trees could provide turpentine or crude gum
The American Paper Institute Inc explains that paper as we know it today was invented in 105 AD by Tsai Lun a Chinese court official In all likelihood Tsai mixed mulberry bark hemp and rags with water mashed it into a pulp pressed out the liquid and hung the thin mat to dry in the sun API reports
While the Chinese enjoyed paper it took the longest time for Westerners to discover how to utilize wood pulp in its fabrication Cotton and linen rags were used which was a slow and expensive process About the middle of the 19th century in England Germany and America the process of making paper was introduced and refined A century earlier a French scientist had been inspired to experiment when he watched wasps use minute fibers of wood to make nests the texture of which resembled paper
In the early days of wood pulp manufacture the industry was focused in New England and New York where spruce trees made excellent groundwood and sulfite pulp With the extension of the sulfate process to the resinous pine trees in the South in the late 1920s the sulfate pulp industry became firmly established in the Southern states
Ruth Cardinal forest products consultant at the International Trade Development Center located at the University of Georgia said the first Southern kraft pulp mill appeared in the early 1900s Kraft is the Swedish word for strength In the late thirties mills converged on the river port cities such as Savannah Jacksonville and Femandina she added
A large percentage 284 of the US timberland is in the South In Georgia where forestry ranks first in contribution to the states total economy the numbers are quite impressive According to the Georgia Forestry Commission 652 percent of Georgia is forestland Updated
1984 figures show forestry and related economic activities in Georgia now comprise an 86 billion industry employing 80000 people There are more than 1500 primary and secondary processors of forest products from lumber to truck bodies to naval stores
The Southeast being Savannahs prime hinterland the port maneuvered 1682775 tons of forest products over its piers in 1983 according to Waterborne Commerce Statistics Kraft linerboard was the third largest export in terms of tonnage and forest products filled seven of the ten top export slots
The abundant resources transportation infrastructure and necessary water sources have made the Southeast led by Georgia a powerful source of forest products especially the Southern pine lumber The Southern Forest Products Association says the region grows timber at a rate onefourth greater than the national average The SFPA predicts the southern United States may have the greatest softwood growth potential and corresponding export capability of any geographic area on earth
Such advantages are already being realized by the shippers and carriers utilizing the Port of Savannah The port provides a convenient link to Europe one of the prime cargo destinations for
The Port of Savannah maneuvered 1682775 tons of forest products over its docks in 1983 many of which received temporary storage in GPA warehouses
Buckeye Cellulose Corp Union Camp Corp Mead Corp and ITT Rayonier Inc Established carrier service also conveys a large portion of cargo from these and other shippers to the Far East which Hiram Ware director of purchasing and traffic at Union Camp designated the fastest growing market Ware also noted that China is the market with the most potential They have obviously not used much paper until recently and are expected to catch up quickly
Accordingly the carriers serving Savannah offer ample transportation to Northern Europe such as that provided by Incotrans CGM Hapag Lloyd and Sylvan Shipping Star Shipping US Lines also calls the Pacific realm
Representatives from each of these carriers said their forest products moving are predominantly exports as much as 100 percent in the case of Incotrans and CGM The Port of Savannahs figures agree reporting 1348684 tons of export

Evviva feature cranes and attachments to best utilize their spacious open hatches

forest products 267884 tons of import and 66207 tons domestic
These figures can be misleading however because they deal with tons and not dollars The inexpensive raw materials such as logs and paper pulp are being exported while the expensive furniture and wood manufactures are being imported Add to that the competition both domestic and international due to the hard dollar and the situation is not wonderful
Competition with US forest products comes primarily from Canadian constructiongrade lumber and newsprint Scandanavian pulp products and Russian and Latin American softwood fibers The University of Georgias Harris said however that US producers which market aggressively and match their product with consumer needs can compete in world markets
Certain transportation trends are evolving to better serve the forest products market some unique to the industry and others recognized by all cargo transporters For example a Buckeye official noted that when the company started using Georgia Ports Authority facilities there was no utilized pulp and no pulp in containers Steve Jaeger marketing manager for CGMs GulfSouth Atlantic service said containers are ideal for handling smaller shipments of paper products
Jaeger said a large percentage of the countrys paper and linerboard international shipments moved in containers He noted 45 percent of the lumber shipments also went into containers This movement to containers is common to almost all categories of shippers who are anxious to benefit from the efficiency and protection afforded by the transportation mode
Whereas in the past kraft linerboard moved in the liner trade predominantly in breakbulktype vessels or lash barges concluded Jack Van Houten resident general manager at Incotrans it appears today that this commodity can economically be moved in 40foot containers via fully cellular containerized vessels Certain large volumes will

however continue to move via specialized product carriers and barge carriers
Two such specialized carriers are Star Shipping AS and Sylvan Shipping Co Inc Star which Traffic Manager Joseph A McNamara said carries 2 million tons offorest products per year has a fleet of 24 vessels all of which were purposebuilt with open hatches and gantry cranes facilitating fast and damagefree handling Gunnar Haavik vice president of Star said that while these vessels are more expensive than conventional ships the extra costs are justified by the muchimproved production Star Shipping considers itself to be a part of the forest industry and is totally committed to improving the transport of the various commodities Haavik added He explained that Star has made substantial investments in ships terminals and stevedoring equipment as well as its subsidiary which manufactures cargohandling equipment

specialized forest products carriers Whollyowned by ITT Rayonier Inc Sylvan is both a house carrier and a common carrier Jack Davis manager of marine operations for Sylvan said Rayonier accounts for 50 percent of the vessels space on the export leg Robert E Heine president of Sylvan Shipping Co Inc and vice president and director of transportation and distribution at ITT Rayonier Inc said Rayonier participated in the inauguration of unitization Unitization is an important consideration for rolls as well as bales he said
As the US struggles to maintain its stronghold there is a real need for research to ensure a quality product to stay a step ahead The carriers research the best way to carry forest products the cranes the hatches etc The producers and processors simultaneously probe their own techniques
Union Camps Ware said research on tree growth and paper production is continuous If you can make a tree grow taller straighter and faster you get more fiber per acre he said explaining that the 2530 year life cycle of a tree forces one to think long term The 40 year lifespan of the equipment strengthens that viewpoint Tree genetics is thus a major effort as is research into fertilizing harvesting and land reclamation Research also determines the utmost in box strength printing procedures and wood chemicals
At the University of Georgia Cardinal said the tradition has been to focus on observation and field research She said perhaps there would be a move to the methods approach back in the lab and stressed the unique situation with forest products in that it takes at least 20 years to see the results of research
Major advances are being made despite all drawbacks Tissue culture is enabling genetic experimentation to improve growth survival rates and straightness Cardinal said Smith at the American Forest Institute said genetic manipulation has resulted in pine trees with 15 percent more fiber than their predecessors in one generation In the second generation they may have as much as 35 percent more fiber On the equipment side Larry Thompson staff forester at the Georgia Forestry
Commission said that a machine has recently been developed to prepare the dirt and plant two rows of seeds at the same time
Much of this publicsector research is conducted to the benefit of small private owners who own the majority of commercial forestland The industry depends on these private land owners ITT Rayoniers Heine noted These owners and the corresponding research arms have identified a need for intensive management techniques to ensure that Americas forests a unique renewable resource are not depleted
The Southern Growth Policies Board predicts that by the year 2000 global consumption is expected to increase by 56 percent which includes doubling the demand for paper products and wood panels Their projections indicate that by the year 2000 the United States could become a net wood exporter A recent forest industry committee charged with identifying opportunities for future timber management in the United States
Logging operations have come a long way since the days of the lumberjack ana crosscut saw The sophisticated machine pictured snips mature trees like an overzealous pair of scissors
found that 70 percent of them were in the SGPB region
The US has the resources the production facilities the transportation modes and the marketing to remain a world power in forest products As Amauld De Pere owners representative for CGM noted The strength of the dollar is the primary determinant All things being equal with the lumber companies sophisticated level of international marketing the United States ability to sell overseas is quite good
Juergen Manske owners representative for Hapag Lloyd seemed to agree saying I am optimistic that in the longterm view forest products will continue to move for they are essential to Europe With the US resources there are big possibilities for longterm carrying

vessels per month to the port for some time With improvement in forest products export activity and emplacement of new facilities at Mayors Point port officials are projecting that the number of calls will increase to three monthly
Brunswick cargo offerings for carriers such as Star will further diversify with the impending May 1 opening of the Colonels Island Bulk Facility Star Shipping for example already carries combination breakbulkdry bulk loads in export from ports like Savannah and this option will soon become available in Brunswick The Colonels Island multiproduct terminal will handle the full range of edible and nonedible commodities

A CHANGED WAY OF THINKING
For the railroad industry and its customers deregulation has proved to be the most positive development of the 20th century reported William H Dempsey president of the Association of American Railroads in a 1984 Duns Business Month article
Prior to deregulation with decreased market shares elusive earnings and mounting maintenance problems railroads were stymied by a slowmoving regulatory system Contract agreements were virtually impossible
Dempsey said that the Staggers Act of 1980 legalized contracts and practically eliminated delays in putting inflationbased rate increases into effect It also became easier for railroads to change rates in response to marketplace changes he added
Yet all are not happy with the results of the Staggers Act Some in the coal industry maintain that the decision ignores captive shippers while helping an industry that no longer needs help There were reports early this year that electric utilities plan an effort to rewrite the Act
Joe DiCarlo assistant vice president of sales for Seaboard Rail System and luncheon speaker at a recent Southeast Rail Shippers Advisory Board meeting said We are encouraged but the Staggers Act has to stay in place There are those who would like to turn the clock back DiCarlo went on to say the rail industry will continue to be a healthy one if the freedoms provided by the Act continue
George Nichols executive director of Georgia Ports Authority said deregulation has changed the industrys way of thinking With deregulation of the railroads has come intensive competition as trucking lines have also witnessed deregulation Not only did the pie shrink but of what was left in the pie the complexion changed dramatically DiCarlo explained
Those in the export business will enthusiastically approve anything that increases efficiency and that improves their outlook in international trade according to Harold H Plaut general traffic manager fertilizer materials for International Minerals and Chemicals Corp
In reaction to this dynamic business environment the railroads are positioning themselves to best take advantage of the changes Henry Brooks manager of international sales at Seaboard System Railroad told the SRSAB audience that the CSX System has made an enormous commitment to intermodal transport to approach 1 billion
Harry Peterson chief transportation office at Trailer Train Co said his company converted over 16900 rail cars by the end of 1984 to ensure their usefulness Likewise Norfolk Southern Corp has made the decision to convert 1500 50foot boxcars to single hitch flatcars as described by James C Chandler marketing manager of intermodal transportation at Norfolk Southern
The program buys us time Chandler said and it extends the useful life of an asset that had apparently run its course
In addition to equipment changes come attitude changes The various modes of transportation are forced to talk to each other Nichols said to come up with all the components required to move cargo at better rates and efficiency Even the ILA has become part of the cooperative team Im convinced that the brotherhoods are finding a stable work environment is most important DiCarlo surmised
Nichols mentioned the excellent array of negotiations between steamship and railroad lines such as those resulting in a minibridge to Gulf ports Theres no way in the world we can go back in time because weve never had it so good he concluded
Edward H Millard Jr corporate director of traffic and transportation at Savannah Foods and Industries Inc directs a question to speakers at the 197th regular meeting of the Southeast Rail Shippers Advisory Board The purpose of this Board is to establish dialogue between users and providers of rail service

Teamwork
GPAs Executive Director George Nichols charged his audience to work together for the betterment of the port
In his annual State of the Port address George Nichols called for increased cooperation between the various transportation entities such as those represented by Savannahs Propeller Club to whom he spoke
The surge of imports oneway haul the recession steamship overtonnaging and increased inland competition have combined to produce a great shakeout in the transportation industry Nichols said one that is just getting started
Nichols said the shakeout seen by the steamship industry is similar to the one
that recently hit Wall Street reflected by increasing mergers acquisitions and consortiums The results may well be new alliances and relationships between Unes within certain trade routes and redployment of port rotations he suggested
Youve got to feel the changes Nichols charged his audience He said that the shipper is again in the drivers seat and has the means cargo to stay there He said he expects the shipper to forcefully push for efficiency better transit times top dollar value and reliability
The theme will be point to point with the railroads trucking lines and steamship lines even more interdependent said Nichols It will be an integrated transportation system with a completely different profile
Concluding that no longer may transportation interests act alone Nichols said We can not simply do business by putting together transactions anymore He called for greater local representation of the Savannah maritime community for example in the political debate surrounding the dredging of US ports
Nichols said over 8 billion in customs is collected each year and only 400 million finds its way back for the maintenance of US ports There is no way to bring ships into our countrys ports without enough water to handle them Our founding fathers realized all regions of the United States needed to be devel

CGM US Gulf Service
A world of Difference
Shippers are discovering a world of difference with Compagnie Gnrale Maritimes CGM US Gulf and South Atlantic Service to from North Europe Take a look at just a few of the reasons
The strength and stability of one of the worlds largest and oldest carriers
Extensive throughservice to over 80 nations with CGMs global network CGMs North American General Agent Barber Steamship Lines inc has 24 regional offices and more than 100 years of agency experience
weekly sailings with five modern 1500 TEU container vessels
Simplified documentation with CGMs Data Freight Receipt
A wide variety of standard and specialized containers
CGM PROVENCE CROWNS CONSORTIUM
The range of vessels serving Savannah through a new IncotransCGMHapag Lloyd consortium culminated recently when the CGM Provence sailed into CONTAINERPORT The consortium provides a weekly service to Northern Europe with double calls to Savannah giving a first inlast out minimum transit time advantage
Following HapagLloyds Alemania Express and more recently the America Express and Incotrans Speed and Spirit the 1200 TEU Provence discharged 210 TEUs She was built in 1977 is 669 feet long and bears a 31 foot 8 inch draft Local agent for CGM is Barber Steamship Lines Eller and Co is the stevedore for the consortium
While HapagLloyd has called Savannah since 1983 Incotrans and CGM are new to the port CGM Compagnie Generale Maritime came into Savannah to develop the market traditionally moving over the port such as lumber and frozen citrus cargo explained Steve Jaeger marketing manager of CGMs GulfSouth Atlantic service He explained his perception of Savannah as not only a localized port but more a major
CGM officials and guests commemorated the introduction of the line to the Port of Savannah with a reception aboard the Provence in her maiden outbound visit
The CGM Provence topped off the range of vessels comprising the consortium fleet
gateway to hinterlands such as the southern Midwest He said those in Louisville Cincinnati and St Louis are often enticed to utilize Savannah and credited the efforts of CSX System and NorfolkSouthern mergers marketing and rate making
While CGMs first vessel just called they have enjoyed the benefits of the consortium for several months Jaeger said the vessels are traveling westbound from Europe almost 100 percent full He said he is seeing a more established buildup of support via Savannah while Savannahs proportion of discharges is growing The export market is an opposite situation due to the hard dollar he said Its quite a poor market at the present time he said explaining European countries have to pay more for US goods
Both import and export the key is a quality product and effective promotion As Savannah becomes more and more established Jaeger said that the sales force will be out there drumming up business and letting shippers know CGM serves Savannah
The America Express is half of HapagLloyds contribution to the consortium linking Savannah with Northern Europe With ondeck cranes recently removed she can accommodate 1500 TEUs

ECUADORIAN MAIDEN VOYAGES FILE INTO PORT
Visits from three Ecuadorian Line vessels have fully realized the new service to Savannah Dennis A Meenan president expressed his satisfaction saying Weve done better in the first three weeks in Savannah than ever in our previous South Atlantic port
Calling on consecutive Sundays the MV Albula handled 150 tons of general cargo the MV Hilco Skater 145 tons and the MV Bernina 410 tons Mennan said each reefer vessel also loaded about 500600 tons of linerboard He noted an average of about 570 revenue tons per vessel
The service to Savannah was spurred by the demand for linerboard at a boxing plant in Ecuador The boxes are consequently used to carry bananas utilizing the ships reefer capabilities
What I really like about Savannah is the list of shippers supporting us Meenan said such as Dupont Tennessee Eastman Mead General Tire Monsanto Celanese Fiber and Texaco International
The vessels range from 475 feet to 500 feet in length and may accommodate up to 510000 cubic feet in bale capacity Foreign ports of call are Cristobal in the Panama Canal Zone and Guayaquil Ecuador Eller and Co are local agents
The ships have been calling Savannah every Sunday reaching the Panama Canal by Thursday This schedule is expected to continue for as Meenan knows after one month of calling Savannah This service is going to work
Under the sun under the moon or under the clouds Ecuadorian Line vessels maintain a consistent schedule during the vessels maiden visits to Savannah

Brian E Perkins area coordinator for the University of Georgias Marine Extension Service Jim Cobb president of Fast Inc and Cathy Thornton sales representative for Spartan Express Inc all received their certificates recently at an award luncheon
The CGCCE is a joint project of Savannah State College and Armstrong State College As a response to the abundant interest in the courses and in an effort to establish an identifiable entity dealing with all continuing transportation education the two colleges have established the new Transportation Institute
Dr Virginia S White director of the Transportation Institute said this development allows more flexibility to accommodate the wide range of educational formats
We want to provide the kind of transportation programming this area needs she explained including workshops seminars and regional conferences in her foresight
The recent addition of outoftown corporate transportation instructors evidences the Institutes ability to draw quality educators or the Institutes ability to become a kind of magnet as White interprets it
She described cooperative efforts between the Transportation Institute and Georgias universities the Georgia State University the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech Plans are in the works to pool resources and programming connected primarily with transportation and also with industrial development
Dr Whites work should receive a big boost in July of this year when the new
40000 square foot Coastal Georgia Center is completed White said the

Savannah is a city steeped in history and as such it is often easy to get lost in the past without understanding the story
The Great Savannah Exposition solves that problem The 9 million attraction housed in the restored train shed of the Central of Georgia Railroad uniquely presents 250 years of Savannahs history and is a perfect prologue to the discovery of Savannahs historical charm
This historic theme attraction features two multimedia theaters and a museum containing artifacts valued at more than 3 million chronicling the history of Savannah since its founding in 1733 The challenge of developing the entire exposition and rehabilitating the deteriorating train shed to its former elegance and structural integrity was accomplished in nine months within

Michael Jurdan is the consultant who created the museum He said the first intention was to develop an exhibition which is different from a museum in that it contains less valuable less historical objects Due to the interest commitment and contributions of Savannahians willing to share their heritage he said we were backed into a museum it was a very pleasant surprise

When one of United States Lines new vessels sails into the Savannah harbor all activity stops for those lucky enough to be on the riverfront Lunchtime conversations stop and sandwiches are set aside
The big ones get away as fishermens rods lay idle Dockworkers take the opportunity to wipe a sweaty brow and watch the worlds largest containership sail on by
One afternoon midMay those who heeded local news knew history was in the making as they watched the American Nebraska emerge around the riverbend The American Nebraska which was built in Korea had come to Savannah to be christened
William Bru chairman and president of US Lines presided over the christening ceremonies held dockside at Georgia Ports Authoritys CONTAINERPORT He and a group of business and civic dignitaries had been treated to a riverside view of the enormous vessel as they sailed to the ceremonies aboard one of Capn Sam Stevens riverboats Shoreside Bru was presented a key to the city by Savannahs Mayor John Rousakis
Finally the moment of significance arrived Bru introduced Camille Cawthon who surrounded by her children had the honor of cutting the line to christen the ship The bottle of champagne loosened from its moorings swung to the vessels bow shattering and splashing the bubbly liquid into the river Cheers floated from the gathering as red white and blue balloons drifted up with the wind Cawthon described the event as an unusual honor something very few people get to do
Quiet and powerful the American Nebraska slips by the lucky visitors of River Street

A birds eye view allows a vision of the concentrated activity that accomplished an average of over 36 picksperhour by container cranes working the American Nebraska

Camille Cawthon is the wife of Edward G Cawthon US Lines senior vice president of operations His responsibilities include facilities maintenance repair and development intermodal operations and terminal operations He noted that US Lines now owns over 100000 containers and 25000 chassis many of which are in Savannah
The Cawthons first love is Savannah Mr Cawthon said He attended Glynn Academy in Brunswick Georgia and graduated from Kings Point school of the US Merchant Marine with a bachelors degree in marine transportation He holds a 3rd mates license with the Merchant Marine and is commissioned in the Naval Reserve
Cawthon has acquired over 22 years of experience in the container shipping industry He worked with Malcom McLean founder of the container concept for 13 years at Sea Land He moved to Savannah in 1975 to work for US Lines Three years later he said McLean bought US Lines
Cawthon said he considers Savannah his home He owns property there and as a result is tremendously pleased with the growth of Savannahs port and US Lines decision to establish a load center there Savannah is the second largest port in US Lines and some weeks its pushing New York he noted
The Cawthons have been married 22 years and have lived in Puerto Rico the Netherlands the United Kingdom and the good old USA Their oldest son
Gary now in the Nuclear Navy School in Orlando was bom in New Jersey Their only daughter Lara was bom in Rotterdam Andrew 15 was bom in Liverpool and Thomas 12 was made in England and bom in New Jersey
The American Nebraska was the seventh of an eventual fleet of 12 New Yorkclass vessels to call Savannah With a length of 950 feet and a capacity for carrying 2241 fortyfoot containers these brand new containerships are unequalled by any in the world While the dignitaries at the christening ceremony shifted a few yards over for a dockside luncheon GPAs crane operators put on the steam showing
Camille Cawthon wife of Edward G Cawthon senior vice president of USL operations and a native Georgian christened the American Nebraska
their skillful speed As a result the American Nebraska was ready to sail hours before anyone expected According to GPA operations personnel after working 26 hours the net average container crane picksperhour were 3642 and that takes into consideration the movement of hatchcovers
US Lines has made a substantial commitment to Savannah with the coming of these jumbo vessels which will sail around the world Last year US Lines and Georgia Ports Authority signed an agreement whereby US Lines will use the Authoritys CONTAINERPORT for a 21year period
In 1982 US Lines handled just under
42000 containers in Savannah and they expect this number to approach 175000 by 1986 They predict more than 200 US Lines vessel calls at the Port of Savannah in 1986 and they expect to load and discharge 1500 containers weekly containing between 125 and 150 million tons of cargo This tripling of Savannah throughput they note will be accomplished with a net increase of only 40 vessel calls annually
William Bru president and chairman of United States Lines emphasized the importance of Savannah to USL operations
The aroundtheworld service was officially launched on December 3 1984 Calling designated ports on a regular weekly basis these vessels will sail from Southeast Asia the Far East across the Pacific through the Panama Canal to the East Coast USA Europe the Mediterranean through the Suez Canal to the Middle East and back to Southeast Asia

Cawthon commended the cooperation of so many people at Savannah who have made this possible Citing the efforts of longshoremen the port authority and US Lines employees he said Those big ships wouldnt be there if it wasnt for Savannahs designation as a load center in which each of these entities plays an integral part
Delta Acquisition US Lines recent acquisition of Delta Steamship Line has brought new vessels and capacity to the trades between Savannah and South America Under the terms of the takeover USL bought eleven vessels while agreeing to a long term lease on three new vessels which were being constructed for Delta at the Odense Denmark Shipyard
A luncheon set next to the vessel allowed visitors to witness the SavannahUS Lines efficiency
The three newbuilds will call Savannah as part of a biweekly service to Venezuela and the East Coast of South America The American North Carolina American Hawaii and American Michigan as they have been renamed are sister ships They measure in at 652 feet length overall across a panamax beam of 1056 feet A deadweight tonnage of 24180 feet produces a draft of 302 feet Of a total of 2088 TEUs capacity the vessels offer 130 hookups for 40 foot reefers and another 27 forty equivalent units in the RoRo deck The ships are equipped to be selfsustaining with two deckmounted gantry cranes with a lift capacity of 32 tons which can be operated simultaneously
The 64 foot RoRo ramp accesses an 18x20 foot door Guidance navigation communication and safety features represent the latest in electronic technology
Another vessel will be deployed with the three new ships to round out the service The total capacity for the run will be 6711 twenty footers Potential annual haul for the service is over 43000 containers
With the acquisition US Lines will be able to eliminate four charters it had been operating on the northbound route Essentially the carrier is combining its new authority and assets with those it obtained via its purchase of Moore McCormack last year These combined resources will make USL a major force in the USSouth AmericaAfrica trades with their Savannah load center benefitting from the increased volume United States Lines is already meeting its lofty projections with over 1000000 tons of throughput in calendar 1984 The addition of Deltas
resources to their portfolio will push totals still higher
Five more New York class containerships yet to come three new RoRo vessels in the South American trades an impending move to container berth 5 with three new cranes a dedicated eightlane interchange a new USL office building in Savannah the US Lines news grows more positive every day With successive record container tonnages each of the last two months it is easy to see that US
Lines activity is having the predicted effect The Delta takeover will necessitate upward revision of those same predictions
American Hawaii is one of three new RoRo bottoms calling Savannah They are plying US Lines expanded South American rotations made possible by their recent acquisition of Delta Steamship Lines

Following an extended period of marketing analysis and facilities design our strategic planning is about to come to fruition in the Port of Brunswick Early this summer we will be in operation at two completely new terminals at Colonels Island and Mayors Point
Our long range master plan targeted Brunswick for development as a major dry and breakbulk importexport center The process commenced with the addition of dry bulk import capability to our existing East River Terminal The expansion took the form of a 700 ton per hour ship unloader and three ultramodern storage warehouses comprising 180000 square feet In addition small to medium sized export parcels of feeds feed ingredients and industrial minerals have been traversing the facility regularly
Colonels Island will bring about a quantum leap in the ports dry bulk handling capability The terminal will become the epicenter of bulk export operations for the port offering particular appeal to high volume shippers With its 2000 ton per hour throughout capability Colonels Island will ultimately add 15 million tons annually to Brunswick harbor volume totals
Marketing strategy for bulk cargoes will revolve around large parcel shipments Commodities destined to receive concentrated sales attention include minerals
chemicals fertilizers and ingredients mixed feeds and meals such as soybean and peanut meal Agriproducts expected to traverse the facility include wheat soybeans peanuts com and other small grains
Neobulks particularly those requiring extensive storage or constmction sites close by the pier are another cargo group which will receive a great deal of our attention Import automobiles plants for processing forest and agriproducts and lumber export facilities are just a few examples of operations wellsuited to Colonels Island
The new bulk facility will only scratch the surface of the potential available on Colonels Island It offers 2200 acres of desirable land for both deepwater and general industrial users Up to four more berths can be constructed along the bluff line to serve dry bulk and neobulk operations Exclusiveuse dedicated container facilities are another possibility
For industries desiring proximity to port facilities but not requiring their own berth the south end of the island provides numerous building sites of various size Rail highway and utility amenities already in place complete a most attractive package
While many ports have forgotten about breakbulk cargoes in the face of the container surge Georgias ports have not as
evidenced by record breakbulk tonnages last fiscal year The completion of the Mayors Point Terminal will double our Brunswick facilities dedicated to handling these conventional cargoes The MPT complex will include three berths a
235000 square foot transit shed five acres of open storage and a 30 ton gantry crane With its highcube warehousing wide margins and heavy lift capability Mayors Point is ideally configured to handle the forest products steel and other break and neobulks high on our fist of marketing objectives
The future for Brunswick Four more berths at Colonels Island new dry bulk breakbulk and neobulk customers container facilities a foreign trade zone and volumes far in excess of current standards
Space will not permit me to go into great detail concerning 60 million in new constmction in the Port of Brunswick There is however a solution Our sales staff would be more than delighted to detail our

Georgias port cities have been riding the bow of the Fantastic Voyage GPAs Fabulous First Forty Celebrating 40 years of longterm growth GPA hosted events around the state
Starting early spring the word of GPAs anniversary began to circulate An art and essay contest introduced children in deepwater port cities to the thriving business of international trade Addressing such lofty themes as the role Georgias ports play in international trade and the impact of Georgias ports on state economics the sixth to twelfth graders wrote drew and molded their interpretations of international trade Winners are listed in accompanying box
Port days and employee days entertained the masses in Savannah and Brunswick during May Brunswicks port day coincided with the 1985 Spring Fiesta Bob Miles GPA authority chairman was grand marshall of a parade that included everything from beautiful southern belles to stock racing cars and wreckers
After the parade came the Fiesta on the waterfront River cruises allowed waterside views of GPAs East River Terminal and the new Mayors Point Terminal Children
donned GPA anniversary garb and in between the carnival rides ate corn dogs and funnel cakes A medley of people walked past the salesmen touting their colorful wares as dixieland notes floated down the river
GPAs anniversary celebration featured an art and essay contest The entry below won third place grades 1012
Savannahs port day attracted lots of locals and even some folks from South Carolina The main attractions were the art entries on display at the administration buildings open house GPA decided long ago that the best way to commemorate the achievements of the past was to encourage the potentials of the future our youth Too often children living in a thriving port city dont realize the career potentials at that port GPA recognized its civic responsibility for education and sponsored the art and essay contests
While guests sipped on refreshments and examined the springtime talent lively music floated through the halls Guests were given memorabilia of the occasion and wonderfully cool buses escorted groups through Garden City Terminal giving the visitors a firsthand view of how the greatest port in the South Atlantic operates
The community and the backing it provides are an important ingredient in the

Georgia Ports Authority has promulgated much growth in the Port of Savannah and the harborscape of today hardly resembles that of the past The photo below was taken in 1969
recipe for the Georgia ports success But GPA would not have progressed as far as it has without its employees So all the employees were thanked at a lunch courtesy of management Savannahs lunch included a huge birthday cake which was rolled back to reveal a dixieland band playing Happy Birthday Afterwards lunch turned to party with dancing by some and others taking advantage of the chance to meet retirees including J D Holt former executive director
Other events have been planned Fabulous Forty Flings will occur in Atlanta and in all port cities including Bainbridge Columbus and Augusta And GPA will host an opening night reception at the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference on October 1
With all these jovial celebrations taking place pride can be seen in the eyes of all involved with the success of Georgias ports It was 1945 when the Georgia legislature set up the Georgia Ports Authority to operate stateowned facilities and to do any other things necessary or proper to
encourage the commerce of the state the United States or the several sister states
Savannah then had a history of being the King Cotton Port during its heyday After the boll weevils devastation of the Souths cotton the port struggled with a reduction in export trade With the postwar boom the state acted to sustain ports activity longterm with a more diversified cargo base and a state authority to develop services and facilities
GPA has come a long way since it acquired its first property a 407acre tract in Garden City for 800000 To become the 860acre Garden City Terminal home of CONTAINERPORT the facility began with four general cargo berths two gantry cranes three transit sheds and one tanker berth Today Garden City Terminal comprises four container berths with another in construction worked by six container cranes with three more on the way two

In Brunswick GPAs East River Terminal provides ample open and covered storage to back up its three dry breakbulk berths The new Mayors Point Terminal harbors three more breakbulk berths and the Colonels Island multiproduct dry bulk export facility is one of the fastest facilities on the coast
With trade development offices promoting GPA facilities around the world the work is cut out for GPA employees and the related port industries to make the next forty years as productive as the first
As George J Nichols GPA executive director said to his employees I cannot thank you enough for your cooperation in enabling us to become the number one port on the South Atlantic and more recently the number one containerport on the South Atlantic We have come a long way in 40 years and I see no reason that our tremendous growth cannot continue

PRINCIPALS
Two representatives of Panocean Southland Inc shareholders visited Savannah recently and the company used the opportunity to acquaint them with Savannahs maritime community and their various clients
Panocean Southland is the first United States venture and the most recent worldwide for Panocean Storage and Transport Limited which is jointly owned by Britains PO Group and Ocean Transport and Trading
Ken Wright executive director of Ocean Transport and Trading and chairman of Panocean and Charles Cunningham commercial director of bulk shipping at PO and board member of Panocean were welcomed Savannahstyle with a wellattended reception in between informative business meetings

Located at Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal Panocean Southland has a capacity of 1300000 barrels The terminal was acquired in June 1983 from Hamilton Brothers Petroleum Corp and Affiliates and Independent Terminal and Pipeline Co
Charles Dobbs Panocean Storage and Transport Limited managing director said they had been looking for a United States terminal for several years and were attracted to Savannah by the availability of a quality terminal This was actually our second bite of the cherry Dobbs said explaining they had visited the terminal before We decided this was the

area where we most favored expansion he added
Panocean has purposely concentrated on the specialized areas of the liquid cargo market rather than the often popular petroleum products We looked at the market before the oil crisis and didnt go the way of large petroleum tanks Dobbs said As it happens we were rather clever for many that went that way are now moving into our market
Commodities handled by Panocean Southland include chemicals vegetable oils gasoline diesel fuels home heating oils and kaolin clay slurry Dave Baker Panocean Southland vice president said they are capable of taking blended stocks of gasoline to make finished gasolines They also accommodate laborintensive operations often shunned by the big guys such as fertilizer dilution handling of tank containers and seasonal antifreeze movements

ble oil We are the only terminal in the Southeast that has handled vegetable oils for the last 20 years he noted
The Panocean structure came into being in 1970 when it acquired Antwerp and Rotterdam Oil Storage Originally a steamship company for specialized liquid bulk Panocean decided to add storage to the shipping arm They currently operate one US terminal in Savannah and six terminals in Europe two in Antwerp two in Rotterdam and two in Merseyside for a total capacity of 15 million cubic meters or approximately nine million barrels
Tonnage handled by Panocean terminals around the world in 1984 amounted to 55 million Approximately 1380 ships were handled 4150 rail cars
Improvements are continuous as Panocean Southland grows and acquires new facilities

and 49750 tank trucks In addition
550000 drums were filled
Dobbs said further expansion is anticipated but development will likely be by acquisition not by grass roots construction In 1984 Panocean acquired locally 078 acres from CH Overseas which included three steel tanks and a boiler Total capacity of this increment was about 12000 barrels Since the acquisition they have relocated the tanks and built two new stainless steel tanks on that property totaling 15000 barrels
Dobbs recognized that bulk storage is much more sophisticated than it used to be But we recognize that while it continues to grow it will not be at the same tempo as in the seventies he added
In addition to expansion future plans encompass technological advances Stainless steel tanks specialized coatings and computerized stock controls are some technological developments being used by Panocean to stay competitive in the liquid bulk market
Panocean handles tank containers and various laborintensive projects the big guys dont want to deal with

RELIEF
Comes Through Savannah
Approximately 1500 tons of salad oil were loaded recently at Savannah by Scindia Lines MV Jalagovind This was the first such relief cargo bound for Ethiopia and DJibouti according to Joe Cafiero Jr vice president of sales for Smith Kelly Co agent for the line and stevedore for the movement
According to the US Agency for International Development over 15 million metric tons of cargo have been approved for emergency shipment to Africa since the governments fiscal year

began Oct 1 1984 Title II cargoes such as processed and unprocessed grains salad oils and nonfat dried milk are purchased by the Department of Agriculture for distribution through several channels In addition to paying for the food the United States pays the full cost of ocean transportation except in the case of the United Nations World Food Program where the UN pays half the transportation
MS Jain owners representative for Scindia Line said his company began calling Ethiopia last November answering the demand for vessels to haul relief cargo This is the largest private shipping company in India and it has been calling Savannah for over 20 years bringing raw jute to the carpet industry located in northern Georgia The Scindia ships call Assab Ethiopia and Djibouti on their way to India
Jain indicated that the surge in relief cargo to Ethiopia and Sudan has helped offset a decrease in relief shipments to India and other parts of the world and increased competition on these routes
The Jalagovind is one of over 15 Scindia vessels having called Savannah She has a net tonnage of 9629 tons and a deadweight of 20538 dwt Built in 1979 at the Hindustan Shipyard Ltd she is 532 feet long
Jain concurrently announced expansion of Scindias outbound services from the US which will result in regular calls at Savannah loading for Red Sea ports and the Indian Subcontinent ports of Calcutta Chittagong Chalma Colombo Bombay Cochin and Madras
Salad oil was loaded on the Jalagovind destined for hungerstricken Ethiopia

Transported Trees Receive Tender Loving Care
An unusual type of forest product moved through Savannah recently Five hundred and fifty Erythrina Caffra trees were shipped in 11 fortyfoot opentop containers and handled at Georgia Ports Authoritys CONTAINERPORT Open tops were a necessary choice since the tarps will be rolled back to provide regulated exposure to sunlight during transit
The large trees will be used for landscaping in Saudi Arabia Originating in the Midwest and Southeast United States the fastgrowing trees required tender loving care throughout the ocean voyage To that end the shippers provided an employee to travel with the trees assuring
they received the right amount of water fertilizer and sunlight
In addition each container was equipped with an irrigation system A PVC pipe network ran through each box and fed hoses which traveled to each individual pot The itinerant gardener fed the system through a pump hookup on the outside of the container through which he channeled nutrients and water
William M Bill Ferrelle is executive vice president and general manager of Crossocean Shipping Co Inc agents for Jugolinija Line which provided the transportation Eller and Co was stevedore for this movement onto the MV Rijeka Express Ferrelle said he expects future movements of the Erythrina Caffra trees at least once a quarter
The canvas on this opentop was rolled back periodically so the trees inside could get enough light while at sea
more than just warehousing

These developments are the beginning of great steps and strides towards Brunswicks new position as a world trade port GPA Chairman Bob Miles told the dedication audience Gov Harris recognized the diversified experience utilized in the new Brunswick facilities The lessons learned have been incorporated into the facilities here he said
Concerns of those involved with the transportation of bulk and breakbulk cargoes common to Brunswick were addressed at the recent trade conference For example environmental constraints were described by Lawrence Olinger PE president of Wapora Inc He advised port authorities to stay a step ahead of government regulation by quality planning The advantages were evidenced by the Colonels Island environmental protection

Savannah and LeHavre
FOREIGN TRADE ZONES COOPERATE UNIQUELY
Frances gift of the Statue of Liberty to the United States reflects the history of support between the two countries The Ports of Le Havre and Savannah are continuing that tradition with a oneofakind declaration of cooperation between their respective foreign trade zones
A Savannah delegation traveled to Le Havre recently to sign a document recognizing that the free trade zone concept is an important factor in the growth of international trade and a major element in their economic development program Winston B Brock authority member signed for Georgia Ports Authority Gerald Velter development manager signed for the Port of Le Havre Authority and Donald E Harwood chairman signed for the Savannah Airport Commission
This initiative is designed to set up channels of communication establish policy for the exchange of information on trade and provide support systems on a reciprocal basis Don Fishero deputy director of the Savannah Airport Commission said this relationship has been evolving for the past 1518 months GPAs executive director George J Nichols and several other Savannah transportation representatives have traveled to New York to discuss possibilities with Jean H Datin the US representative for the Port of Le Havre Authority GPAs assistant executive director Robert Goethe and a representative from GPAs trade development office went on a similar trip to Le Havre
The Port of Savannahs foreign trade zone consists of 28 acres on five Savannah Airport Commission sites and over 12 acres on three Georgia Ports Authority sites The Savannah Airport Commission is granteeoperator of FTZ 104 Fishero noted the unique relationship with a city agency SAC at sites on a state facility GPA
In 1984 Le Havre became the first
French port to be granted free trade zone status At the Port of Le Havre there are no specific FTZ areas Rather any site within the port can be granted FTZ status allowing greater flexibility
The countries enjoy a wellestablished trade between Savannah and Le Havre
In 1983 25100 short tons were exported from Savannah to Le Havre That same year 8051 short tons were imported
The value of the exports was about 305 million and the imports to Savannah were valued at over 20 million
The foreign trade zone allows products to enter a country then be processed displayed and otherwise manipulated free of duties and taxes Only when the cargo leaves the FTZ and further enters the country will these charges be applied If it is exported instead the duties and taxes may be avoided Meanwhile jobs and resulting taxes are created For example every ton of general cargo moving through Savannah is reported to create 55 in revenue within Georgia
Fishero said the ports coefforts will be targeted to firms either already in or on the verge of USFrance trade They have discovered a group interested in importing through GPAs cold storage facility Several entities around Augusta Georgia may export to France as a result of this promotion Fishero said his group
has identified over 19 accounts shipping from the US to other French ports that it would appear to be more logical to ship through Le Havre
No matter which way it goes import or export it will go over the docks Fishero said explaining that initial potential lies in ocean surface transportation Were looking at expanded air freight but thats going to take some time Nevertheless weve started he said
Fishero said the advantages for a shipper utilizing the foreign trade zone are many By allowing a shipper to retain lessen or set aside the duty foreign trade zones help him optimize his cash flow he said
By working together to educate shippers on the advantages of foreign trade zones both Savannah and Le Havre will reap the advantages of activity on both continents Were already doing a profitable business with Le Havre Fishero said We can build on that

Breakbulk cargoes can now benefit from the paperless processing of COBRA What used to take 2460 hours now can be processed and released in as fast as three minutes with an average time of less than two hours
COBRA is a computerized paperlessentry system which has automated importexport cargo processing and documentation COBRA was completely designed by the Automation Advisory Group composed of brokers freight forwarders agentslines regulatory agencies and Georgia Ports Authority All programming is provided by GPA The goal is a comprehensive system benefitting all involved ultimately the shipper
The COBRA system now affords shippers of breakbulk cargo the same advantage shippers of containers have enjoyed for years SPEED No longer need runners carry paper between service offices port and Customs Agents now manifest directly into the system days ahead of ves
Extension of the COBRA System to the breakbulk arena means additional time savings for Customs personnel
sel arrival Entries may also be filed prior to the cargos arrival further hastening the customs clearance process After any and all discrepancies are resolved by the aid of computer a paperless entry is printed to Customs and an exam determination is made
If a general examination is called for notification is sent online to the broker and agent For intensive examinations a request for paper work is sent online to the broker who provides the same at Customs inspection station
For the past few months the COBRA breakbulk extension has been tested by agents and brokers Hank Dunn general traffic manager at Strachan Shipping Co said the system will give agents a lot more information we can use As for customs clearance Dunn said They can decide right away if the cargo will
undergo an intensive exam
Its doing a great job for us so far Richard Carter president of DJ Powers said He explained that the COBRA system has been used mainly for steel commodities Debbie Lamb DJ Powers import specialist in charge of steel said COBRA provides more detailed information along with speed You can go further into the screen to get for example the net weight or number of packages per bill of lading she said This is going to save a lot of time on my end and on Customs end
Customs likewise is pleased with the advances of COBRA The paper burden has been lifted from our shoulders explained Gerald McManus Savannah District Customs Director McManus made an important note COBRA uses the ocean bill of lading number as a control and code number An extra code such as other ports use need not be added to the maze of numbers already associ

ated with the transaction McManus said He added that Customs Automated Commercial System also uses the OBL and all of COBRA will be ACS compatible
McManus also noted the function of COBRAs mainframe as a clearinghouse for breakbulk cargoes not crossing Georgia Ports Authority facilities such as inbond airport and truck terminal cargoes I think thats very generous of GPA McManus said
Accommodating breakbulk containers and intransit cargoes was the goal of COBRA Thats the whole system McManus concluded Now come the neverending refinements as GPAs data processing team works with the transportation industry to satisfy the demands of each COBRA user
PAIRED Clarified
With all the furor and credittaking surrounding Customs PAIRED System it is interesting to note that it was developed and running in Savannah for a year before it expanded to other ports according to Customs officials
PAIRED stands for Port of Arrival Immediate Release and Enforcement Determination Savannah was once again the trendsetter as the driving force in the development of this program which is now a national program in all of Customs seven regions The impetus as with many data processing improvements in transportation came from the highlyeffective Automation Advisory Group a crosssectional representation of transportation shipping and regulatory sectors in Savannah
The program is most extensively used in Georgia with about 200 shipments per month Customs Gerald McManus explained He said the SavannahtoAtlanta link is the systems prime use He also said Customs is planning to equip their Atlanta office to interface with Savannah on the COBRA system further streamlining the network
A large portion of cargo imported through Savannah is destined to the Atlanta area McManus said With the PAIRED system cargo which formerly had to be shipped in bond may be released while the ship is on
Steel cargoes for which Savannah is a major distribution center are among the many breakbulk commodities which will benefit from the expanded COBRA system
the high seas McManus said Under PAIRED the cargo bound for Atlanta which can now be released in Savannah need not travel by expensive inbond carriage It may travel direct to consignee without a costly trip to the Customs house first and inbond documentation is eliminated Obviously importers like it McManus said
Before PAIRED inbond documentation had to be filed by the broker and the cargo had to travel inbond to the Atlanta Customs warehouse Then the exam determination was made In 90 percent of the cases McManus said there would be no intensive examination and the cargo would be released We asked ourselves Why are we delaying delivery to the consignee why are we requiring all this control when we are not even going to inspect McManus explained Under the new format advanced filing permits selection of cargo for inspection and release of excepted cargoes prior to vessel arrival
The PAIRED system links Savannah Atlanta Charleston and Charlotte in the Southeast Region McManus said the system also applies to cargo moving through Centerport Savannah with a bill of lading for Charleston such as cargoes on lines that used to call both ports but now only call Savannah
History
Remembered at GPA CONTAINERPORT
About 250 years ago Tomochichi chief of the Yamacraw tribe native to the Savannah area asked a group of Moravians to teach the great word at a school he wanted to build It was erected on a large indian mound by 35 Moravians a devout German religious sect that came from what is now Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia
This place is now CONTAINERPORT at GPAs Garden City Terminal More specifically it is located about 100 yards from the cold storage facility John H Gielser pastor of the Bethabara Moravian Church in WinstonSalem North Carolina said that an excavation conducted in the 1920s discovered the schools foundation posts Theyre still there he said
Moravians of the present remember Moravians of the past
A marker now stands commemorating that first school and the recent ceremonies remembering the past More than 100 Moravians many dressed like their 18th Century ancestors came to Savannah and Georgia Ports Authority from WinstonSalem for the celebration The Moravians visited the Irene Moravian Mission School site at GPA visited old burial sites at Colonial Cemetery and dramatized the landing of 1735 at River Street
The Moravians were a vital part of the Savannah community until late 1739 In fact the Georgia Trustees paid for the schoolhouse Finally impending violence with Spanish Florida came with a local requirement that they bear arms They refused and migrated north and west
Today there are V2 million communicants worldwide with over 60000 in the United States and 22000 in the southern province Their headquarters are in WinstonSalem

Georgia Ports Authoritys presence is being felt throughout Europe Led by Arthur Rondan European director an Authority delegation hosted receptions and conducted business recently in Paris Bremen Oslo and Rotterdam

Oslo is an appropriate center for GPAs European office with many comparable features linking the port with Savannah History is important to both port cities Oslo having housed its share of Vikings and Savannah having buffered the early British colonies against Spanish Florida
Both areas attract visitors with their historic waterside environs
Savannah is a transportation center as is Oslo which draws 1700 vessels linking the ports along Norways sheltered coast Nearly twothirds of Norway is classified as mountainous territory and Oslo is reported to be the only region with sufficient traffic density to make public surface transportation possible Likewise Savannah is Georgias largest port with considerable development and a sophisticated inland transportation infrastructure Through its new Oslobased operation Georgia Ports Authority hopes to expand its European cargo business to the benefit of both trading partners 0

Maritime Industry
Highlighted Remembered
Harbor Tour
A full slate of events surrounded this years maritime day observance in the Port of Savannah The day commenced with the Chamber of Commerces breakfast meeting which was held aboard the harbor cruiser Capn Sam The Chambers maritime committee has lately been involved in efforts to appraise the communitys youth of the importance and impact of the port as well as the career opportunities available in the local transportation industry
To this end a large group of teachers and counselors were invited on the harbor tour The narrative which accompanied the cruise focused on the scope of the industry and the number and types of jobs it generates locally The Chamber expects these key educators to carry the message back to the schools Later reinforcement will take the form of direct contact with the students via a speakers bureau videotape presentations port tours and maritime business partnerships with individual schools
Memorial Service
The cornerstone of the annual maritime day observance is the commemoration of those mariners who have gone before The ceremony commenced outside the International Seamens Home where a Coast Guard contingent raised the flag to half mast Next the group moved inside to the Strobhar Chapel where Reverend Dale Umbreit director of the Seamens Home and Port Chaplain Father Mario Balbi led prayers and hymns
The group then proceeded on foot to the riverside Bryant Park There under the watchful gaze of Savannahs famed
Waving Girl the contingent assembled for a waterside service A memorial wreath was transferred to a Coast Guard boat and taken to the center of the channel Following a brief prayer it was cast into the channel to pursue the same tidal route traveled by the mariners of yore the guests of honor for the days events
The Waving Girl long a witness to the flow of mariners through the Port of Savannah was the logical choice to oversee the memorial wreath ceremony conducted on maritime day

The announcement in the Savannah Morning News of May 29 1935 read something like this The Union Bag and Paper Corporation of New York City the world largest manufacturers of bags and producers of vast quantities of standard and special wrapping papers and other commercial commodities produced from wood pulp announced yesterday through its president Alex Calder the closing of the contract for the erection of the first
It takes a lot of plant to house 3500 employees Union Camps sprawling Savannah facility certainly qualifies
unit at Savannah to cost 4000000 of a pulp and paper plant of the most modem type

the same period The 500 employees who ran the plant took home a whopping 1000000
Union Camp as it is known today has experienced slight growth since that time Today 3500 employees turn out one milI lion tons annually off of seven separate production lines This volume makes the Savannah mill the worlds largest
Along the way diversification has been a major factotum the firms mercurial growth Box and chemical manufacturing facilities would join the bag group to form a converting triumvirate on site Savannah would become divisional headquarters for the companys large i Woodlands and Building Products operations A Chemical Development Lab would be constructed and Corporate Construction Engineering and Environmental Affairs would be headquartered here
After 50 years of partnership the community and company today can point to a 100000000 payroll Also conservatively estimated this marriage translates into a 350000000 annual impact on the economy of Savannah and surrounding areas
However the impact of Union Bag coming to Savannah did not stop in the environs of this area With the ice broken by Union Bags 1935 move south a flood of new mills followed and the southern sector of the country would never be the same Between 1937 and 1939 alone 13 new mills were constructed in the region and the rush was on to the new woodbasket of the nation Interestingly one of those 13 mills was Camp Manufacturing Company in Franklin Virginia Union Bag and Camp would merge in 1955
Union Camps impact on the port is equally significant The firm is a major
supplier of kraft paper for bag and corrugated box makers worldwide Location in the thriving Port of Savannah has provided the firm with a ready conduit to international markets In return the port reaps the benefits of handling the hundreds of thousands of tons of Union Camp cargoes which have traversed the docks during the past five decades
Forest products are a key ingredient of the economic recipe that has spawned the New South the thriving State of Georgia and the number one port on the South Atlantic range Union Camp emerges as both a trend setter and major component of the industry in the state and region Celebrating fifty years of leadership in the forest products manufacturing the firm remains an important economic and social influence

ILLUMINATION OF EXPORT MRKE
The complexities and interdependencies of foreign markets confound many novices approaching international trade and even veterans sometimes shake their heads in wonder It can be frightening for a US producer to first embark upon any export market particularly with the dollar so high Programs abound to assist this prospective shipper at the Export Import Bank the Department of Commerce and the Small Business Administration to name a few Trade groups also help for each commodity has its own requirements its own factors to ponder and deal with
Pedro Nueno right of Navarra University discussed world economic development and its impact on markets of emerging nations while Pat Harmon left of Cargill Inc addressed expanded sales in traditional markets
For example the agricultural arena is not glowing with opportunities right now Grain exports are down according to Pat Harmon assistant vice president and southeast region manager for the Cargill Incs commodity marketing division While global economic conditions have turned downward foreign competition has increased A result is apparent in the US share of world wheat trade which has fallen nine percent from 1981 to today
The short term situation looks dark Demand growth will be slower and smaller than in the booming 70s and supplies will remain near record levels Harmon said in other words more tough times for all those involved in the shipping of US farm goods to foreign markets
A ray of hope remains in this gloom however Harmon told his Brunswick International Trade Conference BITC audience that the method of improvement revolves around policy changes Under
the right policy conditions we should be able to regenerate the growth in demand for US agricultural exports he said
The right policy would be one enabling the farm community to respond to changing market conditions Forget the decadesold idea that US farm policy can be isolated from the world marketplace Harmon advised The old policy of protecting farm income by linking it to price has aided our competitors and hindered our competitiveness he said
There is no hope of rebuilding farm incomes without fundamentally changing this approach to US farm policy Harmon stated Since government no longer can make agriculture profitable it should get out of the way and let agriculture profit from serving markets Government should stop making production decisions for farmers through acreagereduction programs so farmers can produce for the market they serve
All export markets dont have quite the peculiarities of agriculture but they probably have their share When a business decides to export after dealing with the product specifics and the possible requirements and restrictions of foreign trade it must decide where to target its product What markets are expected to offer the most potential Where will the growth be Questions wisely asked
One of the most attractive developing markets is the Peoples Republic of China noted Pedro Nueno professor of management for Navarra University at Barcelona He said the emerging nations of Asia have outperformed the rest of the world in growth from 1970 through today The Peoples Republic of China is the most powerful trade phenomenon going on in this area he said at the BITC China plans to increase her GNP 500 per head through the end of this century This is equivalent to creating a new country bigger than France in economic terms Nueno explained Further stating that the country wants to keep her trade balanced Nueno said China had a tremendous potential as a source of and destination for international shipments
Trade with the rest of the world is a bit bleaker but not without a flicker of growth The debt of the Third World said continued on page 48

DAVENPORT
DOES IT ALL
We do anything Its the kind of phrase that raises a mothers eyebrow in suspicion It also produces a significant reaction from the Japanese customers of Dave Davenport and Sons Inc
When they want things done in a certain way we do it explained Donnie Davenport operations manager in Savannah Its either done their way or it isnt done
Davenport and Sons is a trucking company that transports assembles preps paints and stores cargoes including heavy machinery project equipment and even a chemical gasification plant Their specialty lies in heavy hauling and their equipment includes a 13axle truck which can pull
330000 pounds They handle both domestic and international movements The firm was bom in Texas literally and has expanded to Savannah
Davenport is a familyrun business involving a father two uncles five brothers and a sister While everybody has their niche we can all do just about any of it Thats how we want it Donnie said
One brother also a minister handles all computer programming for Houston and Savannah Another handles cumbersome
Dave Davenport and Sons Inc has expanded to Savannah with over six acres of open and closed storage located minutes away from GPA docks
A computer at his side Donnie Davenport manages the Savannah office
load biddings and financial matters while two more pull the super heavy loads The father founded the company and an uncle and sister work with rates and inventory management
Donnie said Davenport provides an agent program to get their customers the best inland transportation price All loads dont go on Davenport trucks but he said they do usually haul the bigger ones and quite a few of the medium loads
The new facility in Savannah consists of about six acres with a warehouse where equipment can be handled Clients of Davenport include Kobelco and Kato
The warehouse is also used as a showroom for these shippers Total inventory should remain near 100 machines in stock at the Savannah facility ranging in size from
15000 to 300000 pounds
The presentation of the equipment is obviously a key ingredient of Davenport services Having no scratches on the equipment is important Donnie said Thats one of the advantages of Savannah
Much of the import cargo handled by Davenport will arrive via RoRo vessels
The Davenport facility should create about 30 jobs after operating two to three years and up to 50 jobs by 1990 The address for the facility is 4896 Old Louisville Road Savannah Georgia 31408 Telephone is 912 9641281

Whats the bottom line
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

ILLUMINATION OF EXPORT MARKETS
continued from page 42
Nueno is close to one trillion dollars onethird of which comes from Latin America Successful management of this crisis evidenced by Mexico and an implicit commitment to encourage international trade and industrial development are worthwhile achievements Accordingly Nueno said there may be a gradual moderate recovery of trade with Mexico and Brazil while other Latin American countries will remain weak
The COMECON countries the six Eastern European Countries plus the Soviet Union have improved their financial situations Nueno said At the current moment one can not see any special cloud on the horizon He did mention however an obstacle imposed by the Soviet Union who is requesting more goods from her allies in exchange for energy Thus they can not get the hard currency they need for imports he explained
Little growth is expected from the oil exporting countries which are dealing with price cuts and stagnant demand Combined with the IranIraq war conditions are unlikely to change
Potentials of the industrialized world are hindered by among other things unemployment Technology entrepreneurship intrapreneurship or new similar concepts are proving to be weak remedies Nueno said He cited recent figures showing that the US economy is slowing down with a GNP growth of 13 for the first quarter of 1985 compared to 67 in 1984 Nueno said there are signs of recuperation in Europe with some countries accepting the idea of heating up their economies But he found it difficult to be optimistic beyond the expectation of a moderate increase in European trade
Summing up Nueno said the trade outlook is more optimistic than what could be seen two years ago but we are far from expecting a big upsurge Speaking of agricultural trade Harmon echoed saying I agree it will take some time to regenerate growth and improve our situation as much as we would like
Meanwhile all those responsibly involved in transportation are preparing the way for growth in US exports The trade groups the government authorities and agencies and the transportation business continue to polish their operations
As a diamond sparkles from coal the transportation arm of international trade and the efficiencies its building may very well light the path to an improved global economy

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority

A ttSt
George J Nichols
Returns for FY 1985 point to a year similar in many respects to the past three or four A modest overall increase of three percent pushed tonnages over the 66 million mark for all Georgia Ports Authority facilities Container tonnages which rose 600000 tons above the previous record established in 1984 were largely responsible for the successful year Liquid bulks increased as well continuing their twoyear drift back to more normal levels Increased activity at our Bainbridge and Columbus barge terminals also gave a substantial boost to tonnage totals
Yearend softening of the dollar came too late to offset a drop in the breakbulk sector Stiff competition from foreign producers also had a dampening effect on breakbulks as well as on shipments of grains
A number of milestones achieved during the past twelve months will guarantee our ability to continue to grow in the future New facilities certainly fall in this category but significant improvements in our inland transportation systems are equally exciting
Fiscal year 1985 was the year that our two rail service providers the Seaboard System and the Norfolk Southern inaugurated overnight service between Savannah and Atlanta Now containers can leave Savannah each evening to arrive in Atlanta early the following day From there they can access that citys diversified transportation systems for further delivery throughout the country It is only fitting that Savannah the closest port to Atlanta should lead the way in establishing this innovative overnight connection
New rail service was by no means limited to the SavannahAtlanta run Dedicated intermodal trains are also
running several times a week between Savannah and the Gulf of Mexico region As steamship fines trim down their rotations they retain coverage within their targeted market areas by expanded use of inland transportation Naturally their designated load centers become the focus of this surge in rail and truck activity
We expect this year to see further development of the rail service bridge concept Specific examples will include dedicated piggyback service to the midwest as far north as Chicago and trains running on a regular basis all the way to the US West Coast
The more than 100 motor carriers serving Georgias ports have been equally imaginative in increasing their market share In a deregulated marketplace pricing and service initiatives have become the order of the day as container general and specialty haulers have proliferated In the next five years scheduled highway improvements near our Savannah terminals will further improve access for truckers
On the waterside the news was equally good Some 14 steamship fines introduced or expanded service to Savannah during the past 12 months
The past year Georgia Ports Authoritys total of deepwater terminals jumped from three to five The first to open was Brunswicks new Mayors Point Terminal a threeberth breakbulk complex Already handling a healthy mix of forest products steel and heavy machinery the facility is detailed in the Update section in the center of this issue of AnchorAge
The new terminal on the block also located in Brunswick is the Colonels Island multiproduct dry bulk facility It
represents the first utilization of the considerable deepwater capability made available by the dredging of a channel to the island two years ago The export facility boasts a 2200 ton per hour throughput capability for the full spectrum of edible and nonedible materials The 2200 acre Colonels Island offers space for up to five more deepwater berths barge operations and numerous sites for port users not requiring direct access to waterways
The news is not only of new terminals but renewed ones as well The Ocean Terminal slip one project was completed adding another berth and considerable storage space to that facilitys coffers This project represents one of the few new breakbulk investments anywhere in the country and continues the GPA commitment to efficient handling of these conventional cargoes
Once again we find ourselves in the position of thanking both our many shipper customers and the carriers who serve them for their support We invite your attention to this issues Update to prove that in terms of facilities inland connections computer systems and total service we intend to do whatever it takes to retain your business

Based on a business decision made at Evergreen headquarters Savannah has been designated the exclusive South Atlantic port of call for the lines West Mediterranean Sea Service
Savannah is the best South Atlantic port to leave from an Evergreen corporate spokesperson said
Calling Savannah on a weekly basis the service will call Valencia Spain Fos France and Leghorn Italy The service gives Savannah the lastout advantage with a short 11 day linkage to Valencia In addition all California and Gulf cargo will be discharged in Savannah Evergreen also transships cargo to Jeddah Saudi Arabia via Valencia adding a mere eight days to the trip
The West Mediterranean Sea Service will be plied by four S type vessels the Ever Summit Ever Superb Ever Shine and Ever Spring These 572 foot vessels have a draft of 305 feet and a service speed of 20 knots With containers stacked in four tiers the vessels can accommodate 878 TEUs With three tiers the total is 754 TEUs The vessels were built in late 1975 and early 1976 by Hayashikane The Panamanianflag ships have a gross tonnage of 12413 and a 15752 dwt
The service had previously used the 2728 TEU G type vessels However because these vessels sail via Northern Europe ports en route from the US ports and Valencia transit times were not competitive Now Evergreen will be able to provide customers with one of the fastest services on the route while offering direct calls in Italy France and Spain Evergreen officials announced
The Evergreen office has operated in Savannah since February 1983 Evergreen ships have sailed up the Savannah River on a feeder basis since then Bruce Cannady sales manager of the local office said the West Mediterranean Sea Service is the first major event on the East Coast to affect his office The first vessel to call Savannah with the new service was the Ever Summit
The Savannah office employs eleven people Capt Hwang is port captain and has just moved to Savannah from New York where he was in training Palmetto
The Ever Summit sailed past River Street under the Talmadge Bridge and eased into port at GPAs CONTAINERPORT

Shipping and Stevedoring Co Inc has been contracted to provide stevedoring for Evergreen
Cannady said outbound cargoes frequently moving in this trade include carpet wood pulp kraft linerboard clay wastepaper and peanuts These cargoes are a good representation of highvolume Georgian exports as they are six of the top 20 exports moving through Savannah Cannady said common inbound cargoes are wine mineral water and furniture
The trade is imbalanced right now Cannady said as are the many trades feeling the effect of todays strong dollar Evergreen is working on a few things he noted that may not eliminate the imbalance but should improve on it The corporate level attitude paralleled that of the local We anticipate success the spokesperson said We dont enter a service unless were confident the cargo is there
Evergreen is a Taipei Taiwanbased nonconference carrier The Evergreen fleet began in 1968 when Chairman Y F
Chang commenced service with one turbine tweendecker the MV Central Trust After other ships were acquired during that first year of tramper service
A high elevation allows a glimpse of operations on the 878 TEU S type Evergreen vessel
various liner services began
To provide the economy speed and safety required by modern shipping the line made meticulous preparations to open its full container services in 1975 a company publication reads The fine has doubled the fleets capacity since 1981 and plans to double it again by 1986 This will reportedly make it the operator of the largest number of shipboard TEU slots
The Evergreen fleet currently consists of 53 vessels
As the line expands and modernizes its fleet it also improves on its service routes For sixteen years Evergreen has been adding new services where needed to guarantee that all shippers needs are met Evergreen officials explain The West Mediterranean Sea Service and its South Atlantic connection of Savannah is structured to do just that meet shippers needs
Captain Kwoktsing Liu welcomed Georgia Port Authority officials on board the Ever Summit On his next visit he invited several GPA employees to an authentic Taiwanese luncheon

Operations continued past dusk when the Ever Superb sister ship to three other vessels in the West Mediterranean Sea Service called on her maiden voyage
The first US Navy combatant to be commissioned in Brunswick Georgia recently joined the nations fleet The US Navy guided missile frigate ELROD was activated at Mayors Point Terminal
The Navy dubbed the ship in honor of Maj Henry T Elrod a native of Turner County Georgia who died in 1941 protecting Wake Island against the Japanese In 1946 he was posthumously promoted to major and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroic actions in the defense of Wake Island
Addressing crewmen invited guests and eager onlookers US Senator Mack Mattingly called the ELROD an example of the finest achievement of American technology manufacturing and knowhow Norma McDonald wife of Commander in Chief of the US Atlantic Fleet was the frigates sponsor
Mattingly stated that Maj Elrod was one of the 320000 Georgians who fought overseas in World War II and one of the 6754 who lost their lives He added that nothing higher can be said of a person in that he died in defense of his country
Commissioned 97 million under budget and 34 weeks ahead of schedule the frigate represents progress on the nations investment in a growing Navy
The ELROD represents the most recent step toward the Presidents objective of a 600ship fleet boosting the total to 535 active commissioned ships

We started coming to the United States in May of 1963 Ever since the Port of Savannah has been our gateway to the eastern seaboard with at least one ship monthly V F Crasto owners representative discussed the history of the Shipping Corporation of India and its Savannah business aboard the latest evidence of the lines firm commitment to its South Atlantic hub the MV Marina Star Crasto was in town to monitor the first call of SCIs new container service
SCI has begun using full containerships to connect Savannah with the Indian Subcontinent Offering service every 21 days the carrier will make overseas stops at Bombay Cochin and Madras in India and Colombia Sri Lanka A total of five ships will be employed in the rotation
We believe firmly in cross trading Therefore we will pick up cargo and deliver cargo to and from Italy Crasto added Current plans call for a stop at Leghorn on the eastbound leg followed by a call at Savona on the return voyage SCI is also contemplating stopovers at Red Sea and Mediterranean ports Once shippers become aware of this new option we are hopeful we can pick up more cargoes from these areas as well Crasto explained
Savannah will serve as SCIs load center for the new service In addition to accessing the ports substantial southeastern hinterland the line will offer service to Houston and New Orleans via landbridge through Savannah The trip to the first Indian port of call will take a scant 30 days including the Italian stop No other shipping company in the US India trades can touch this combination of frequency and transit time Crasto proclaimed
Since 1981 SCI has used semicontainerships to handle a maximum of 350 containers per voyage in the trade
The new charters in their container run will handle about 400 TEUs apiece This modest increase will however be shortlived Within a year four companyowned ships of 1500 TEU capacity apiede will be completed in West Germany to take over the new service
Crasto reports that India is the only economy in the world with low inflation
The Marina Star initiated SCIs new service linking Savannah with the Indian Subcontinent

Richard Field left GPAs director of trade development welcomes SCI to Savannah and presented a laseretched clock to Capt A R Mulgund of the MV Marina Star
and good economic growth One offshoot of this vitality has been the development of sophisticated container facilities Their availability will enable the line to emphasize point to point pricing in their marketing approach SCI itself operates inland container depots in New Delhi and Bangalore
SCIs bustling business with Savannah originated with the delivery of jute backing from the Bay of Bengal to Georgias mammoth carpet industry Despite the new container service and even though much of the cargo may wind up in containers SCI has no intention of
reducing its commitment to the breakbulk trades The monthly breakbulk service will be maintained to back up the container run Recent cargo history shows a heavy flow of noncontainerizable project cargo moving from the US to India SCI plans to maintain its breakbulk service to accommodate these and other breakbulks which their marketing research indicates will persist in the trade
Crasto is very specific in discussing the factors which have produced the healthy longterm relationship between SCI and Savannah He says The port has certain advantages for us
1 It serves the jute industry
2 Its a good consolidation point for Gulf cargoes
3 It has a very good port management
team which has helped us in good days and in bad days Our ships always have a berth
4 The infrastructure for a shipping line in Savannah is quite good
Among the ten largest shipping companies in the world the Shipping Corporation of India is singly owned by that countrys government SCI currently embraces a fleet of over 150 ships with a combined deadweight tonnage of 55 million The array of bottoms includes dry cargo vessels bulk carriers combination vessels tankers colliers specialty carriers and offshore supply vessels A number offer passenger capability Lest they be accused of resting on their laurels the line has over 20 more vessels currently on order

How to double the size of your yard without buying a single acre
Pacecos Transtainer gantry crane can stack considerably more containers per acre than straddle carriers Twice as many as frontlift trucks So you can double your yards capacity without buying a single acre
The Least Expensive Yard Handler
You can buy an ordinary straddle carrier or frontlift truck for less than a Paceco Transtainer But how many would you have to buy to match the performance of a hardworking Transtainer
And what about the long run The Paceco Transtainers life ex
pectancy has proven to be at least two to three times longer than strads or FLTs
How long can you expect your Transtainer to last Officially Paceco estimates 20 years But its hard to say since every Transtainer built by Paceco is still in service Even the seven units built between 1960 and 1962
Goodbye Elephant House
The Transtainer is a dedicated stacking crane so it has a lighter duty cycle That means less wear and tear and considerably less downtime Below 1 in many

The Choice Is Made
Fort Howard Opts for Georgia
The largest single capital investment in the State of Georgia was announced on July 16 Fort Howard Paper Co proclaimed it will build its new southeast tissue mill on an 1800 acre site in Effingham County 20 miles from Savannah This ends months of speculation as to whether the facility would be located in Georgia or South Carolina
The 1 billion plant will consist of four paper machines to be completed in four phases The new mill will use 100 percent wastepaper as its fiber source and will provide about 1000 permanent fulltime jobs when all four paper machines are installed Fort Howard Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul J Schierl explained the Southeast mill will produce tissue towel and napkin products
The mill will be involved mainly in domestic trade Given the nature of the products it is awfully expensive to ship overseas explained Bob Badzinski director of public affairs He added that plants are built to meet demand The plant in Effingham County was conceived because of a developing market in the Southeast Foreign demand would probably be met by a foreign plant he added
Badzinski noted that some movements of heavy machinery for the plant will utilize the areas waterways The ink dryers are manufactured in England and are approximately 18 feet in diameter and 22 feet in length weighing about 200 tons This bulky cargo will probably move through the closest port with the best heavy lift capabilities Savannah is the most logical choice Badzinski said
This movement is expected in early or late spring 1987 Fuel for the facility such as coal may also move through Savannah he added
In making the announcement Fort Howards Schierl praised officials of both states from the county level to the state capitols and Washington for their support and complete cooperation during the planning and negotiation stages Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris also recognized the many instrumental players leading with those in the Effingham County Commission the Effingham County Industrial Development Author
A governor must above all be versatile Gov Joe Frank Harris manned the controls for the heavyduty ground breaking for the new Fort Howard paper plant
ity and Georgias Congressional Delegation particularly Senators Mack Mattingly and Sam Nunn and Congressman Lindsay Thomas
Construction will begin following a required 10day notification period Schierl said We expect to complete the first stage converting and shipping facilities by late summer of 1986 and products will initially be converted from paper manufactured at our Oklahoma mill The first paper machine will be completed in the summer of 1987 and the second machine is planned for startup in 1988
Georgias governor added that this new facility has been judged by all permitting agencies to be environmentally sound He said it will be essentially odorfree and will

have minimal impact on the Savannah River and water resources in the area because of the planned modem pollution control equipment In addition the plant will not require any trees to be cut rather it will make use of totally recycled materials
Gov Harris described his elation with Fort Howards decision which he said exceeds any other announced industrial investment in any southeastern state I am proud of Georgias probusiness attitude our commitment to providing a fair return on investment our quality of life and readily available and trainable workforce our abundant supply of natural resources and power sources and all of the many other factors which make Georgia a good place to do business

Father Mario as he is locally known initiated the idea of blessing the ships to the Savannah chapter of the Propeller Club in 1977 In 1978 he led the first blessing and has done so for six years
Along with his colleagues Rev James M Mayo of St Benedict the Moor Rev William Oliver of St James Cormes and Rev Reginald Gunn of St Thomas Epis
Rev Reginald Gunn left of St Thomas Episcopal Church and Fr Herbert Wellmeier right of Cathedral of St John the Baptist demonstrate the procedure for blessing the ships
copal Church Father Wellmeier sprinkled holy water and gave a blessing to numerous vessels The journey began on River Street and continued past the docks

Willis said his marketing strategy is basically an approach of direct sale to the customer His company studies customers and teaches them how to choose the proper lumber products His approach helped him approximately double Construction Exports sales between 1981 and 1983 and maintain increased sales in 1984
Customers are taught to understand US industry standards as well as lumber grade books By thoroughly consulting with customers loyalty is gained and maintained according to Willis
Since the 1981 market study by ITDC Willis has attended several of ITDCs seminars He assisted them in planning a seminar Legal and Financial Aspects of Exporting Wood Products and also advises them as a lumber expert
Prior to the 1981 opening of Construction Exports Inc Willis attended the University of North Carolina and Washington College of Maryland He received a degree in international studies Willis is a member of the Industry Sector Advisory Committee for Trade Policy Matters which is sponsored by the US Department of Commerce and the US Trade Representative He is also active in the Savannah District Export Council

85
YEAR IN REVIEW
With total tonnages surging ahead five percent in fiscal year 1985 Georgia Ports Authority again observed a champion year of operations As container tonnages approached the three million mark CONTAINERPORT was the dominant growth area for the port Twentysix percent more tons of containerized cargo crossed GPA docks in FY 85 than in the previous year This pace represents the continuation of an established trend which has seen box tonnages double in the last three years
Another significant and progressive area is the noncontainer cargo the various breakbulk and roll onroll off RoRo cargoes crossing the docks at CONTAINERPORT The volume of this breakbulkRoRo category multiplied ten times over the last fiscal year for an unprecedented increase Major components of this group are the numerous units of heavy machinery always visible at the facility
Breakbulk cargoes handled mainly at Ocean Terminal declined almost eleven percent Exports felt the pressure of the strong dollar overseas increased breakbulk cargoes being stuffed into containers and foreign competitors enjoying successful sales forays against US competitors Forest products are a prime example as Scandinavian producers are now able to bite into traditional Americansupplied markets Simultaneously more forest products are being containerized as steamship overtonnaging has often resulted in lower container rates
Exporters of dry bulk cargo likewise have felt the effects of the hard dollar while they have also battled unfavorable weather conditions Strong competition is being felt from emerging producer
nations around the world such as Argentina and Australia As the winter wheat season swung into gear GPAs dry bulk facility reported a 30 percent decline in export movements
A good increase in liquid cargoes some 80000 tons has helped offset the bulk and breakbulk fluctuations This increase was led by petroleum products the tonnage of which has increased 31 percent Together the additions in the container breakbulkRoRo and liquid categories have compensated for the declines in other areas Total tonnages of GPA movements in Savannah surpassed by far the outcome of fiscal year 1984 which was also a recordbreaking year
New facilities have come on stream in fiscal year 1985 to improve cargo handling At Ocean Terminal GPA has fully broken in its new berth which replaced an old slip Over fifty vessels have already docked at berth 13 which accommodates the longest beams of steel and other bulky cargo with its extrawide margin Cargoes such as steel coils rolls of burlap and bales of textiles have been stored in the new
565000 square feet of adjacent transit space In addition 235000 square feet of dockside open storage covers the site of the former slip
Garden City Terminals tank farm has been expanded by both Guthrie Industries and Panocean Southland
Inc Guthries expansion included a new
210000 gallon tank complementing their former 160000 gallon capacity totally dedicated to liquid latex Panocean acquired 078 acres with three steel tanks and a boiler The tanks with a 12000 barrel capacity have been relocated and Panocean has built two
Over fifty vessels have used the new berth 13 at Ocean Terminal many using the adjacent open storage to store their discharged steel
more for an additional 15000 barrels
A total of 14 steamship lines have inaugurated new or expanded service to Savannah Twelve of these generally call Garden City Terminal most at CONTAINERPORT with a few utilizing the breakbulk and cold storage facilities there Three of the services call the Caribbean three call Northern Europe two call the Far East and one each services South Africa South America Australia and New Zealand Spain and West Africa the Mediterranean the Middle East the Far East and AroundtheWorld Improved service includes those with increased frequency additional ports of call or a designation of Savannah as load center
Savannahs Foreign Trade Zone 104 also began operations in fiscal year 1985 FTZ 104 consists of 28 acres on five Savannnah Airport Commission SAC sites and over 12 acres on three GPA sites The SAC is grantee and operator of the zone Two companies the Frederick Parker Group and Oceanic Enterprises are already enjoying advantages of the FTZ which include the ability to import cargo into the US and process display or otherwise manipulate that cargo free of duties and taxes Only when the cargo leaves the zone to be distributed in the US will it be subject to these charges
If it is exported these costs may be avoided
In FTZ 104s first year throughput value of zoneuser merchandise exceeded 1 million with Customs duty collections totaling approximately 25000 Revenue generated by zone activity was slightly over 12000
Other advances in the Port of Savannah ease the movement of cargo various intermodal innovations and the extension of the COBRA computer network to breakbulk cargo

TOP Express trains totally dedicated to container traffic rush cargo to and from Atlanta and the Gulf
BOTTOM Construction continues towards a December 1985 completion date for container
berth five
The complexion of CONTAINERPORT has changed considerably from 1974 bottom to 1985 top It will change even more when container berth five is finished
While GPA expands its capacities for ocean transportation inland transportation is also being improved in and through Georgia For example
Seaboard System Railroad initiated an overnight train from Savannah to Atlanta This express train is dedicated to container and piggyback traffic and loads in Savannah every afternoon to arrive in Atlanta early the next morning It passes a similar train inbound from Atlanta carrying export containers Norfolk Southern has also enhanced its delivery schedules between Savannah and Georgias capitol city Still another new train bridges

Construction on warehouse three at Ocean Terminal will be completed September 1985
capabilities of GPAs oneyearold COBRA system have also been expanded into the breakbulk arena
This paperlessentry system has automated importexport cargo processing and documentation originally for containers The system now affords welcome time and cost savings to shippers and service organizations of breakbulk cargoes also Instead of taking days for cargo to be entered manifested cleared and released it may now take only a matter of minutes
GPAs trade development staff works around the clock to keep the world informed of these and other evolving advances in Savannah A new trade development office the European office opened in Oslo Norway during FY 85 This office will provide a liaison between GPA offices in the United States and steamship lines importers exporters and foreign freight forwarders located within the European region
The European office canvasses Scandinavia Northern Europe the Eastern Bloc countries the United Kingdom and Ireland
A group from Savannah recently
Berth 13 awaits its next ship as a breakbulk vessel leaves the port at dusk
visited the Port of Le Havre in France to begin a copromotion between the two port cities foreign trade zones Continuous trade development activities also resulted in a delegation from Shimizu Japan sojourning in Savannah as part of a friendship accord between those port cities looking toward a mutual industrial development thrust in both areas
Underway
To maintain the momentum of CONTAINERPORT GPA began construction on container berth five in fiscal year 1985 Demolition of outdated facilities had cleared the way the year before
Container berth five to be complete in December 1985 will measure 1025 feet long with a 196 foot apron adjacent to 65 acres of paved storage The new berth will be accompanied by an eightlane truck interchange to expedite the delivery and pickup of containers Container berth five will adjoin GPAs other four container berths which are backed up by another 180 acres of paved storage six container cranes and a 14lane interchange
GPA is acquiring three new Kocks container cranes to work berth five Arriving unassembled at Garden City Terminal they will be constructed onsite These cranes similar to four other Kocks cranes owned by GPA feature several innovations sure to improve their efficiency They have a heavier capacity 100000 pounds and a longer waterside reach 135 feet In addition they have a higher lift above the dock capability which means they can easily clear the high stacks of containers on the decks of todays largest containerships
To facilitate the growing intermodal movements of containers GPA has supplied five rail spurs and three ondock rail tracks at container berth five
Three rubbertired MiJack bridge cranes will work the new field manipulating stacks of containers four high and six wide while accommodating an outside truck lane
Breakbulk facilities are also growing in Savannah Another 200000 square foot warehouse will bring the total covered storage at Ocean Terminal to
790000 square feet To be completed in September 1985 this warehouse has a steel superstructure with metal roofing and siding The utility and electrical systems fire protection system and masonry firewalls work together to afford shippers the utmost in safety for their cargo The building provides
5856000 cubic feet of usable space and has an inside clearance of 24 feet at the
side to 33 feet at the highest point Ocean Terminal open storage has also grown by 123 acres which is now a usable tract of paved storage space Such cargoes as steel granite and certain forest products are ideal types for this open storage
Down the Road
Consolidation is the key to efficient growth at Georgia Ports Authority Eventually the remaining breakbulk activity at Garden City Terminal will move to Ocean Terminal This shifting will open up an estimated 40 to 60 acres for the construction of container berth six which is expected to be in operation July 1989
GPAs COBRA computer network now speeds the processing of breakbulk cargo as well as containerized cargo

YEAR IN REVIEW
Fiscal year 1985 witnessed the first full year of operations on the tririver system since a rockrelocation project ensured a consistent nine foot depth for barges As a result tonnages at Georgia Ports Authority terminals in Bainbridge and Columbus will contribute greatly toward the 437 million ton projection for the year 2030
On the Flint River Bainbridge leads the way with a 50 percent increase in tonnage during FY 85 This cargo consists primarily of agricultural fertilizers clay products and salt On the Chattahoochee River Columbus tonnage primarily that of caustic soda increased 31 percent
The Bainbridge barge terminal dockside is comprised of a 400 foot
berth with space for four barges and a
6000 square foot transit shed A 35 ton mobile crane maneuvers along the berth A new fender and dolphin system was added during FY 85 enhancing both the facilitys operations and appearance
In addition a new outbound loading system improves service while reducing operating costs The loading system works at a rate of 350 to 450 tons per hour depending on the efficiency of the trucks unloading system
Nine different bargetowboat operators have utilized the facility this year Inland transportation from Bainbridge is provided by Seaboard System Railroad and over 20 trucking lines
TOP While cargo is transferred from barge to transit shed a 6000 square foot addition takes shape adjoining the wellused building
BOTTOM The ground has been broken the plans drafted By October 1985 the new 20000 square foot warehouse will be complete
building is designed to be flexible however and is well suited for many dry bulk cargoes
The facility improvements should allow four times the volume of activity currently being conducted at Bainbridge
With the dramatic growth in cargo at Bainbridge new storage has become increasingly necessary GPA recently began construction on a 6000 square foot transit shed addition and a new
20000 square foot warehouse
The transit shed addition will be constructed first It is estimated to cost 108675 and completion is expected by the end of this summer The transit shed will provide storage for all import and export cargoes which need shortterm storage to stage barge loading unloading
The warehouse to cost 400200 should be complete by this fall It will be a laminated timber structure with an arch frame and asphalt roof The large volume of fertilizer material moving through Bainbridge stimulated the construction of the facility and fertilizer would be a likely cargo for storage The

YEAR IN REVIEW
Brunswick will never be the same again A new generation of shipping in the Golden Isles Port was bom in fiscal year 1985 Two advanced facilities Mayors Point Terminal and Colonels Island Terminal were dedicated in spring by Governor Joe Frank Harris Together these facilities will complement the traditional dry bulk and breakbulk activities at GPAs East River Terminal in Bmnswick
Mayors Point Terminal consists of a 1500 foot dock with a 235000 square foot transit shed and five acres of open storage A 30 ton gantry crane muscles the cargo from vessel to forklift which then carries the cargo to designated areas within the seventeenacre site
The transit shed is designed and situated to best assist the movement of breakbulk cargo A 55 foot wide margin between building and water allows the easy movement of bulky and oversized parcels Platform height truck and railcar docks speed the various inland transportation transfers With the buildings eave height of 26 feet cargo can be stored as high as lift trucks will reach The highest quality lighting and sprinkler systems backed up by GPAs aroundtheclock security ensure a safe environment for the gamut of breakbulk cargoes moving through the South Atlantic
Mayors Point Terminal is located one nautical mile upriver from East River Terminal placing it 11 miles from the ocean The river is dredged to maintain a 30 foot depth at low tide with two feet of overdredging at berth areas The average tide fluctuation is 73 feet which increases the size of vessel capable of calling Mayors Point Terminal
The Mayors Point enterprise was designed to handle breakbulk cargo especially forest products a major mover through the Port of Brunswick
Wide margins offer optimum ease for handling breakbulk cargoes and sightseers of special military vessels at Mayors Point Terminal
With the large quantity of property around Brunswick dedicated to forest production and a number of manufacturers in the area Brunswick is the ideal point of exit for forest products
The first ship to call Mayors Point Terminal was the Star Evviva On March 30 1985 she loaded 5000 tons of wood pulp bound for Northern Europe In the first five months of operations Mayors Point Terminal has facilitated over 36450 tons of wood pulp throughput In addition 2854 tons of steel coils have moved along with 166 tons of miscellaneous cargo
Just as Mayors Point Terminal was designed to handle cargoes indigenous to the Southeast region so was Colonels Island Terminal as the United States continues its breadbasket role for the world In transportation terms this may often be translated to mean dry bulk throughput such as the major movers grain and fertilizer materials
Located one mile upriver Mayors Point Terminal foreground complements the breakbulk activity at East River Terminal
background
The transit shed at Mayors Point Terminal provides 235000 square feet of storage with a 26 foot eave to handle cargoes as high as the lift trucks can reach
GPA has just begun operations at its multiproduct dry bulk facility on Colonels Island This terminal has been described by Georgias Governor Harris as unmatched on the eastern seaboard Expected to move 15 million tons per year Colonels Island Terminal includes a 580 foot dock connected to a 135000 square foot bulk storage building by a 2400 ton per hour shiploader and conveyor system
Cargo arriving by truck up to 60 tons per truck may be unloaded using a special truck dump with an integrated scale to save time Three acres of truck turning area is provided
Cargo arriving by rail empties onto one of two dual rail car unloaders which are each capable of dumping two 62 foot hopper cars simultaneously for a 4500 ton per hour throughput Two pits separate edible and inorganic materials from corrosive and noncontaminable materials The former include bauxite sand Fullers earth
leucoxene feeds glutens peanuts sugar com soybeans meals and wheat and the latter include phosphate rock urea prills ammonium sulfate and diacalcium phosphate
A 600 car storage yard and two rail loops easily accommodate the trend of unit trains becoming increasingly common to bulk shipments
Colonels Island Terminal was conceived to meet todays varying demands of dry bulk transport Obviously speed and efficiency are two of the most important demands Colonels Islands equipment is not only among the fastest on the East Coast it is also very flexible as to the type of movement desired For example rail pit number two will transfer product direct to ship or into storage Materials can be moved from rail pit number one or the truck dump while cargo is reclaimed from flat storage A number of such combinations keep the cargo flowing
v
A birds eye view of Colonels Island Terminal evidences the attention given to the facilitys environmental impact No tree was unnecessarily removed
The 70 x 180 foot building utilizes the experience GPA has acquired from its dry bulk operations at Garden City Terminal in Savannah and East River Terminal in Brunswick Six separate bays segregate cargo with a dustproof divider between edible and nonedible products A 2000 ton per hour scraperreclaimer loads cargo onto a conveyor belt bound for the transfer tower
A surge bin is located in the tower Cargo from either the building or rail pit is discharged onto a transfer conveyor leading into the 600 ton capacity bin This storage allows continuous operations despite interruptions in reclaimer or railcar unloading operations The bins capacity equals about 15 minutes of vessel loading
The shiploader stretches out to 94 feet over the vessel The shiploaders chute telescopes cargo into the hold and a spoon tucks cargo into the comers of the hold securing a level fill
The entire operation of Colonels Island Terminal from cargo receiving to shiploading is monitored by a computerized control system Two color graphic terminals direct flow paths and monitor machinery alerting GPA operators when necessary In addition the scraperreclaimer is completely automated by a programmable controller
The Colonels Island bulk facility was designed with environmental protection in mind GPA has taken such concerns to heart and has worked to provide a system with minimum impact on the environment The rail and truck dump pits employ high air flow systems to pull dust down into the open hoppers Collectors have been installed at each transfer point along the conveyor system The collectors gather dust into gortex bags that direct the material back to the conveyor system High velocity vacuum systems prevent the dust from escaping the dust hoods

With numerous sites available for development up to five with deepwater access Colonels Island is sure to continue growing into the
1990s
Conveyor covers protect the cargo moving on belts from wind and other weather hazards Telescoping spouts are extra long to prevent cargo bruising and avoid dust boilout in the flat storage building or while loading the ship The bottom of the spout is never any further than six inches above the pile
Down the Road
The Colonels Island bulk facility was planned to accommodate considerable expansion as shipping needs increase The rail and unloading systems can easily absorb activity resulting from five more storage buildings Since GPA owns the 2200 acre Colonels Island the space and deepwater access is
available and is expected to be utilized in the near future
Colonels Island has utilities in place an operative rail system and excellent inland connections These and other advantages are anticipated to bring development to the numerous sites available up to five of which have their own deepwater access In addition rivers on the back side of the island will easily accommodate barge operations
In fiscal year 1985 Brunswick handled 350000 tons Such numbers soon will be reminiscent of an era gone by as Colonels Island Terminal and Mayors Point Terminal chum out a new epoch for dry bulk and breakbulk shipping on the South Atlantic

INTERMODAL INNOVATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
LOOKING TOWARD TOMORROW
Transportation executives inspect the latest in intermodal equipment
Intermodalism The concept has come of age and now the transportation industry must collectively determine the future of this unique and efficient form of transportation
We have to sit down and see where were going Conrad Eberhard chairman of Seapac Services Inc told a gathering at the International Intermodal Exposition in Atlanta
According to Richard C Burton Jr president and CEO of Trailer Train Co intermodal movements grew 20 percent in 1983 and 12 percent in 1984 And despite a slight decline during the beginning of 1985 often attributed to a drop in imports intermodalism is the rail industrys best hope for retaining existing business or capturing new business he surmised
Atlanta is often called the hub of this growing intermodalism second only to Chicago With approximately 5 million containers moving annually piggyback traffic on the railroads is second only to coal Atlantas intermodal arsenal consisting of four components makes it the ideal location for an intermodal expo Rail truck air and ocean all channel cargo into the strategic city
Atlanta was established as a rail hub in the early 1800s and today the two railroads Norfolk Southern Corp and Seaboard System Railroad operate 80 freight trains in and out of the city The 96 trucking companies and their customers will benefit from 15 billion worth of ongoing improvements on Atlantas 130 miles of expressways Hartsfield Airport handled
400000 short tons of air freight in 1984 Finally the Georgia Ports Authority and its facilities in Savannah moved 29 million tons of containerized cargo in fiscal year 1985
Atlanta contains all the necessary elements for a complete intermodal shipment Lieutenant Governor Zell Miller told Exposition attendees and is determined to be the intermodal shipping center of the nation
As Atlanta gears up to expedite intermodal movements shippers and transportation officials converged on the city to ponder the innovations and requirements conceived with this new concept The Expo registration jumped 71 percent from 722 in 1984 to 1232 in 1985 According to Aden C Adams senior vice president of merchandising for Seaboard The Expo

T Miyake general manager of the Nissho Iwai American Corp traffic department gave Japans perspective of intermodal transportation
The development of intermodal service by some ocean carriers is no more than an excuse for rate cutting asserted Bob Pouch president of Barber Steamship Lines
was the most positive contribution of bringing together carriers third parties and suppliers that the interm odr1 arena has seen in years
Shippers Demand Good Intermodal Service
The interface between industry representatives began with a panel of shippers giving their thoughts on intermodalism George Sullivan of General Motors Corp summarized the attitude We seem to be singing out of the same hymnbook and thats cost and service This manager of materials transportation inventory added that his shipments are extremely time sensitive and justintime philosophies combine with a total cost analysis to provide the basis for transportation decisions
T A Hamer director of transportation at Mead Corp said the railroads moan
about narrow profit margins plaguing piggyback movements Unfortunately he said the railroads are looking at the wrong side of the equation by seeking to boost their rates rather than trying to cut their costs While John McGuckin manager of rail and intermodal pricing for General Foods Corp said that using intermodal has become considerably easier he also advised railroads to become price leaders and stop asking What is the truck rate He added that General Foods looks for the best combination of price and service
American Greeting Cards James Elder said the transit time of piggyback movements lag behind those of allhighway shipments Railroads therefore must compensate with a price that will at least equal inventory costs This vice president of
The International Intermodal Exhibition with its conference and stateoftheart exhibitions drew over 1200 participants

material management also addressed railroads avoidance of damage liability and cargo security This attempt of carriers to wash their hands of liability will scare shippers away he charged Shippers demand good intermodal service
Intermodalism Overseas A Basic Positive Trend
Just as containerization was bom in the United States and then spread throughout the world so was intermodalism The Expo audience was warned however not to expect similar growth overseas by Cees J P van Dijk general manager of logistics for Incotrans For example high cube containers are not feasible in Europe due to insufficient tunnel and bridge clearance
Van Dijk also noted differing national
regulations which hinder international movements He described the efforts of Intercontainer a consortium that consistently operates hundreds of container terminals throughout Europe Other problems affecting European intermodal traffic include environmental regulations road weights tolls and restrictions on crossborder entrance
An attractive alternative to truck and rail movements van Dijk said are Europes inland waterways especially the Rhine River With 12 container terminals recently opening on the river van Dijk predicted inland waterway traffic will increase 25 percent by 1990
Europes intermodal opportunities are varied van Dijk said The railroads are often more economical for long distances and are expected to become more competitive Meanwhile the inland waterways
have a great stake in intermodal transportation There is no doubt about a basic positive trend van Dijk concluded
Japans intermodal story is somewhat similar to that of Europe The growth may be slower and definitely different than that in the United States T Miyake general manager of the Nissho Iwai American Corp traffic department traveled from Tokyo to give his countrys perspective to the Expo audience
Miyake said that Japan is in no way opposed to the transport of high cube containers but he described Japan as small a country which falls behind others in the maintenance and improvement of roads He noted however that the majority of containers will travel on the highways because the countrys railroad has limited flatcars with which to carry the boxes Nighttime transportation of containers

Nat Welch executive vice president of the Georgia Freight Bureau and a familar face at the International Intermodal Exposition was named Transportation Person of the Year by the Transportation Club of Atlanta
A 10year veteran of the transportation industry Welch was instrumental in reestablishing the 83yearold Freight Bureaus image in Atlanta He uses his welldeveloped public relations and marketing skills while lobbying before the state legislature and representing group interests before the Public Service Commission
The revitalized bureau serves 450 shippers in Georgia and the Southeast It maintains professional transportation services by auditing freight bills checking for overcharges from railroads and trucking companies and expressing members interests to government
The bureau has elected new officers to its growing organization Succeeding the former president Lewis P Kravitz is Nat Tieman vice presidentdistribution at the Ivan Allen Co Also selected were Louis C Kibler director of corporate purchasing SiemensAllis Inc treasurer John F Parrish director of distribution and purchasing Mead Packaging first vice president Joel Hammond vice president Big River Industries second vice president and Nat Welch executive vice

president
With Welchs support the bureau has recovered 465375 in overcharges has arranged and sponsored the International Intermodal Exposition advocated Seaboard Railroads new overnight service from Savannah to Atlanta and pursued the idea of building a 25 million piggyback facility on Seaboards Hulsey yard
According to Welch the ambitious plan to convert the rail yard will help make Atlanta the piggyback hub of the
nation by 1990 Atlantas air freight terminals close proximity to major ports and endless miles of highways and rail tracks make it an ideal distribution center for the Southeast
A representative for Seaboard said it was Welchs persistent lobbying that encouraged his company to investigate the idea of building the nations most sophisticated piggyback terminal
The new facility will benefit truckers and shippers as well as railroads by enhancing the availability of the lowcost piggyback option Welch is optimistic about the plan because he feels piggyback is the fastest growing sector of the freight business
Welch attended Furman University in Greenville South Carolina and pursued graduate studies at the University of North Carolina He served in the Navy during World War II where he earned the rank of lieutenant
His former jobs include magazine sales sales vice president of a successful recording tape corporation and an appointment by President Kennedy to the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board Also he worked as president of the Council on Human Relations and as director of the Southern Regional Council in Atlanta Even though he is at retirement age Welch says he has no intentions of leaving the Freight Bureau

BULK AND BREAKBULK
TRENDS
Believe it or not dry bulk and breakbulk transport still persist With all the fervor of containerization one might think they were slowly fading away
Breakbulk vessels still exist and they are quite plentiful noted John Broadbent marketing manager for United Arab Shipping Co By their very nature he said they breakbulk cargoes guarantee this continuance Included in his consideration were steel lumber paper raw rubber and project equipment all of which are often outsized or uneconomical to stuff into containers
Likewise dry bulk cargo ensures that bulk transportation systems and services will be around for awhile Keri Phillips publishing director of the International Bulk Journal said world dry bulk trade has had an average 35 percent annual growth since 1970 Dry bulk cargo generally moves most efficiently on dedicated bulk carriers Phillips noted for example that these bottoms account for 95 percent of all shipments of iron ore which is the leading bulk commodity
Common Issues
The trade environment has required bulk and breakbulk carriers to compete against the transition to containers Overtonnaging on many trade routes has resulted in lower container rates providing a viable alternative to the traditional modes of transportation If a cargo can move in containers it will The quote may be attributed to thousands in the industry
Some issues and concerns stretch industrywide however regardless of the mode of transportation These include intermodalism the Shipping Act of 1984 protectionism and financing for international trade
1 Broadbent told his audience at the
Brunswick International Trade Conference that breakbulk operations are hot intermodal operations He said that the concentration of railroads on containers and the high cost of rail do not address the sourcing of breakbulk cargoes The trend today is for cargoes to come to ships rather than for ships to come to cargoes He added however that the trend is also to be
H aware of intermodalism and to design breakbulk vessels accordingly which he
described as economyofscale
Ed Codd director of international marketing said that his company
Seaboard System Railroad will work with RoRo and breakbulk interests He acknowledged however that his line will concentrate on container traffic because of its size growth potential and Seaboards familiarity resulting from the railroads commitment to containers
Like intermodalism the Shipping Act of 1984 has impacted all of transportation Were seeing a significant revolution in liner trades said Dr Robert Ellsworth director of office planning and international affairs at the Federal Maritime Commission Referring to shippers associations and the expanded ability to collectively fix rates he said Clearly you can now discriminate
While the Shipping Act was designed to open up trade protectionism threatens to close the door Ellsworth pictured a situation where a company just could not compete Two options were then available either go out of business or seek protection We should try and keep as much as possible the shipping industry open to competition he advised
As US transportation is gradually deregulated the US commercial banking industry is currently also being faced with critical legislative and competitive issues noted Jim Cassady vice president of the exportimport division at Citizens and Southern National Bank in Atlanta
Life isnt perfect but it beats the alternative Cassady said alluding to deregulation the difficult export situation and the emergence of foreign financial institutions and investors into the US He said that the ultimate role of banking continues to be exercising prudent banking practices to facilitate trade while protecting the best interests of stockholders and corporate customers
Phillips noted that all these issues including trade restraints protectionism and the foreign exchange market are economic and political factors which strongly influence transportation trends
The Breakbulk Trends Breakbulk can compete with containers The key is cost efficiency Broadbent
said The trend will be toward longer economical vessels with
1 larger hatch openings
2 faster heavier derricks
3 more vesselshore gear flexibility and
4 better fuel consumption
Broadbent noted that container growth
should slow except in developing countries where it will grow at the expense of breakbulk transport He said that in countries such as South and Central America the Near and Middle East Soui and East Asia and Africa container traffic will comprise 35 percent of the global trade by 1990
The Dry Bulk Trends About 1240 million tons of dry bulk cargo should move in international trade during 1985 Phillips said at the Brunswick conference In 1970 815 million tons moved No huge upswing is expected Iron ore has been very much in a state of transition and the longterm prospect is for shallow growth only
Coal has experienced the latest sudden jump in trade overall Phillips said a result of the massive new steel industrys demand for metallurgical grade The volume is expected to grow from 231 million tons in 1984 to a possible 290 million tons in 1990
Finally grain the third of what Phillips called the three major bulks has seen world traffic by sea stagnate at approximately 200 million tons Phillips said that of all the grains wheat traffic has grown the most due to world population growth and the serious need for imported food He predicted up to 240 million tons of grain moving in 1990 45 percent of which would be wheat Fluctuations should be expected he added due to yearly harvest surpluses and deficits
Be Optimistically Cautious
To capsule our international business through the eighties will be a mixed bag with no clearcut answers concluded Bob Coffey assistant vice president of sales at Norfolk Southern Corp and moderator of conference sessions He said he was optimistic for the long term but advised all involved in the shipment of bulk and breakbulk cargoes to move on cautiously

LARGE KILN
MOVES THROUGH BRUNSWICK
Versatility and heavy lift capability are the name of the game at Brunswicks Mayors Point Terminal as exhibited by the arrival of the worlds largest lime kiln The 15 million 443 foot kiln was transported to the Brunswick Pulp and Paper Co Using 58wheel rigs 32wheel dolleys and special trailers Moss Trucking Co moved the huge pipes to their inland destination
Equipped with 250 ton capacity cranes the vessels gear was used to lift the cargo Surprisingly the vessel that performed ocean transport for the kiln the Eiger is only 267 feet long while its beam measures 48 feet Nevertheless the Dutchregistered bottom is capable of handling outsized items normally reserved for much larger vessels
According to Scott Hickok project engineer for Ahlstrom Machinery Inc All 33 pieces and 1200 tons were shipped through Brunswick due to its convenience and proximity to the paper mill Ahlstrom Machinery located in Finland is
Thirtythree pieces weighing up to 87 tons apiece were transferred from the MV Eiger to Moss Truckings 58 wheelers for delivery to Brunswicks Pulp and Paper
It took the MV Eigers 250 ton shipboard crane plus two manpower to maneuver Brunswick Pulp and Paper lime kiln components from vessel to waiting truck
the manufacturer of this massive reclaim system
This project is part of a major program to reduce Brunswick Pulps cost and thereby improve its competitive position a paper mill announcement said Significantly some 3 million of the total 20 million price tag is dedicated to making sure the unit meets or exceeds all environmental standards
Starting operation in December the new kiln will replace three existing lime kilns Construction Manager Jerry Daniel added The kiln recovers chemicals used in the pulp cooking process It is designed to reduce fuel oil usage as well as solid waste output
F W Meyers was customs broker for the move A relative newcomer to the Brunswick scene South Atlantic Enterprises Inc was ships agent Company President Kevin M Drury who stated his firm has been in business since February reported smooth operations in the unloading and delivery of the kiln components

French Equipment
New to Savannah
Five Poclain hydraulic excavators moved through Savannah recently the first of their kind to grace the docks of Georgia Ports Authority with their bright red paint
The excavators were manufactured by Poclain SA in Le Plessis Belleville France They were shipped from Antwerp Belgium to Savannah on the MV Tasmania a 580 foot charter to States Steel Line Traveling inland on Daily Express trucks final destination for the machinery was Case Power and Equipment Co in Atlanta
Norb Brost with exportimport administration for 11 Case Co in Racine Wisconsin said uses for the Poclain
equipment include trenching construction work and utility work He said two models were shipped two of the 220 model and three of the 160 model He said the 220 weighed 93500 pounds and the 160 weighed 63000 pounds for a total shipment of 188 tons
Brost said future shipments through Savannah are likely but its a marketing thing and hard to predict
John S James Co was forwarder for the movement and Strachan Shipping Co was stevedore and agent
Equipment new to the Port of Savannah the Poclain excavators from France are destined for Atlanta
MOVES THROUGH SAVANNAH FOR CREST COPROMOTION
Little LEGO building sets have been moving through Savannah the past few months destined to become part of a Crest toothpaste promotion
Approximately eight million LEGO sets moved in sixteen separate shipments Eighty fortyfoot containers were discharged from Hapag Lloyd vessels over a course of four months
The building sets were shipped from Billund Denmark headquarters location for LEGO Systems AS Two building sets were produced each packaged to resemble a box of Crest toothpaste one mint and one regular Each set will construct four different models
Containers of LEGO building sets await inland transport

AnchorAge
The LEGO building sets traveled via truck to a bonded warehouse in Atlanta From there they traveled to a Procter and Gamble production facility where a building set was packaged with two 64 ounce tubes of Crest toothpaste Finally the packages were caught up in Procter and Gambles grocery distribution network for delivery
Dion Tron Procter and Gambles company spokesperson said the copromotion will be in stores throughout the United States by October 1985 She said that while Procter and Gamble has conducted many promotions Crest has never marketed like this before She said that Crest is always has been and probably always will be a family product Hence the decision was made to package the toothpaste with a toy that would attract both children and their mothers
This is the second such LEGO copromotion Both have moved through Savannah John Morris distribution manager for LEGO Systems Inc in Connecticut said this is a whole new marketing thrust for LEGO Systems being undertaken for various market penetration reasons
The customhouse broker for LEGO Systems is IntercontinentalPowell Inc Gerald J Bresnihan is the office manager in Savannah responsible for import documentation among other things Everything with Customs is going smoothly he said noting that as in the prior movement the LEGO cargo was released prior to vessel airival utilizing Customs computerized ACCEPT system
In Nyhavn Copenhagen a place called Miniland delights visitors with its lifelike scenes constructed of LEGO toys Notice the people in the background gazing upon the model of a modern shipping port
The LEGO sets were shipped througn Savannah and delivered with Crest through PGs distribution network

Transcend
Rivalries and Focus Attention
Increased cooperation is the key to reaping the profits of intermodalism said Harold H Hall president of Norfolk Southern in his keynote address He said that lack of cooperation among transportation modes will result in chaos merely delaying the profits sought from intermodalism
This is an exciting time to be in transportation but its also a very uncertain time Hall stated We have both the privilege and the responsibility of being in a position to decide how things will be moved for many years to come
Hall drew attention to many of the questions and events hovering around todays intermodalism There are hazards that bear careful watching he advised including the strong dollar possible protectionist measures the third worlds debt crisis and the tumultuous steamship industry To these situations he added the challenges currently being met by railroads which are using containers more productively
Its the hottest thing on rails Hall said describing the innovation of stacking containers twohigh Savings over traditional COFC can be as high as 40 percent and more than 30 stack train sets are now being planned budgeted negotiated or built he said
Today high cubic capacity is the name of the game he noted Other advances include 48foot trailers and 28foot trailers in tandem rigs
Other trends in transportation include the load center concept which requires ports to become more efficient He said that ports must improve labor productivity negotiate inland rates based on volume and deliver on that volume
Finally Hall predicted the continuation of acquisitions mergers and diversification He expects transportation companies to increasingly encompass several modes
As ships trains and trucks become ever more dependent upon one another cooperation becomes ever more imperative Hall concluded In addition to pursuing our own individual goals we must transcend rivalries and focus our attention on common goals common problems and common sense

Caught In
The Sea of Red Tape
Who is to blame when your cargo gets tied up at Customs sits onboard a vessel on a pier or in a terminal costing you time and money
Consider the facts Every day tens of thousands of containers and shipments descend upon the Eastern seaboard and inland ports with tons and tons of cargo For each shipment no less than eleven pages of import documents are generated and sent to US Customs for clearance and release
If so much as a piece count a description or any important detail is missing the documents are returned and the clearance process starts all over
As your Custom Brokers Rogers Brown professionals have a reputation for finding the reason for delays and clearing them up quickly
To expedite the thousands of transactions we handle throughout the country we pioneered sophisticated computer software to process the volumes of paperwork
Our experienced staff anticipates problems before they have a chance to occur We often clear cargo before it ever reaches the continent
When you turn the responsibilities over to Rogers Brown for Customs Brokerage or Freight Forwarding you can be sure the job will be done right the first time
Leave the red tape to Rogers Brown The shortest distance between two points
Dont blame it on the Feds

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
The overall theme for the nineteenth edition of our Georgia Foreign Trade Conference is Transportation 85 A Changed Way of Thinking It suggests that the program planners see this as a particularly dynamic period on the international trade scene I would add that anyone in our industry who has not already changed his way of thinking is in serious peril as far as staying in business
Deregulation governmental policy climate currency imbalances these are just a few of the factors which catalyze daily change in the transportation industry One can no longer make a periodic evaluation of the factors affecting the marketplace and expect that analysis to hold for the next fiscal year quarter month or even week Frankly since Washington pulled the plug and plunged us into the era of deregulation rethinking your business posture has become an ongoing exercise
While our competitors create the majority of our problems solutions do not lie solely in monitoring what the other guy is up to Rather we must take a long hard look at ourselves Case in point the current trade imbalance particularly as it applies to the Japanese has produced a prevailing mood of protectionism in this country Unfortunately tariffs and content legislation are cosmetic measures which address the symptoms but not the causes
To really attack the problem we must change the way we think about it We must be cognizant that as a country we live beyond our means and have embraced policies that drive interest rates up We must find markets and sales techniques which will enable us to export despite our high standard of living
It is interesting that our current remedy for the imported car situation is to entice the Japanese to build plants in the US
and employ our workers This is not the answer While it may generate some payroll dollars it does nothing for reviving the domestic car industry Weve folded our corporate tents What we should be doing is thinking about exporting our cars so both payrolls and corporate profits remain at home
There are several examples that indicate the transportation sector is engaged in newthink In the past steamship lines kept conversation and cooperation to the bare minimum dictated by business necessity Recently overtonnaging depressed rates and operating costs have combined to spawn an array of carriage agreements Variously described as slot charters consortia and spacesharing agreements these arrangements reflect a creative response to a changed marketplace All indications are that the successful steamship operator of the future will take a hard look at sharing trade routes with fellow carriers
With intermodalism providing the conduit more and more shippers have begun to cry out for pointtopoint pricing and a single transportation bill The logical reaction among the nowderegulated carriers has been to venture across modal lines to establish multidisciplinary firms Railroads are operating barge lines Steamship lines maintain their own truck fleets In the future the transportation shopper will demand a single point of contact Transport providers will have to respond either in the form of the total transportation company or through cooperative agreements among the modes
The repercussions of deregulation are still being felt Politics in Japan and South Africa could produce dramatic changes in world trade patterns The world financial market continues in its usual uproar In short everything that affects the way we do
business is in a constant state of change
For this reason I would suggest that Transportation 85 does not involve a changed way of thinking so much as a changing way of thinking It is incumbent upon shippers and transporters alike to continuously monitor their industries and the factors which influence them and to alter corporate structure and business practices accordingly
The size of the global trade pie will double over the decade and will probably do so again in the next However the number of people lined up with plates and forks has grown even faster Everybody wants a piece of the pie competition is everywhere
Those who want to succeed will get lean and mean They will read and research and devote time to think tank sessions They will reject no idea before its time They will respond to customer demand with innovative flexible products and services which represent the best possible bargain at the time And they will constantly adjust the formula to make sure they offer the optimum combination of price and service at any time
Oh yes About 700 of them will attend this years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference to be updated on the latest trends influencing international commerce and transportation

Iust as a glamorous southern mansion relies on a reliable
foundation so does a prosperous southern state Georgia for example depends daily on its international trade infrastructure Websters dictionary defines infrastructure as the underlying foundation or basic framework The struts and supports the twobyfours that hold up that mansion that keep those stately pillars upright have their counterparts in Georgias trade picture
The obvious physical counterparts include the highways and rails along with port facilities The intangible and less obvious counterparts include professional services such as insurance finance and law Georgias trade infrastructure is broad yet specialized Not only is expertise provided in business law but also in admiralty trade and customs law
To merely specialize and focus on law as the sole ingredient of an international trade infrastructure would be like building only the front porch of the mansion Only by adding bedrooms living rooms dining rooms and a massive kitchen would the home be suitable for ladies and gentlemen to gather for social occasions
Likewise only by providing the widest range of services such as transportation banking forwardersbrokers consultants ship chandlers and NVOCCs is the State of Georgia able to successfully host foreign business and trade Some of these components involved in the transportation of goods over the worlds oceans are illustrated on these pages
Atlanta is seen by many as a symbol of international trade in Georgia and its hinterland Yet it is only that a symbol The southern plantations were only as healthy as their land It was the outlying fields and their crops that provided the fuel for the plantations economic growth
In the same vein it is Georgias trade infrastructure that gives Atlanta the strength and reliability it now enjoys With strong government and community commitments Georgia is able to reap what it promises provide a diverse trade infrastructure and foster growth that is predicated on the ability to grow

BANKING
GEORGIA INFRASTRUCTURE
The financial environments involved in international trade are as varied as the faces of their currencies
I dont see any way that you can get involved in international business unless you have a bank in the midst of it Bob Lukat says If you dont have an international bank you have no way in which you can collect your money
Lukat is vice president and general manager of Atlanta Saw Co a manufacturer and marketer of cutting edges for meat processing He notes that 55 percent of their business is international trade conducted in about 85 countries
Atlanta Saw has been dealing with Citizens and Southern National Bank in Atlanta for about 15 years Lukat says they periodically evaluate Atlantas international banks to maintain the best service The components they consider are the services they use most
1 correspondent relations overseas
particularly in the countries where we are dealing
2 charges for documentary collections because most of our invoicing is not open account
3 SWIFT electronic funds transfer so money does not have to clear through New York and
4 offices in target areas particularly in the Orient and Europe very instrumental in helping us set up appointments
Areas of the greatest potential Lukat notes are the Peoples Republic of China Latin America and Europe We see a lot of things indicating an upturn in the volume of international business at this stage he says
Lukat says he also desires a bank with a mechanism for dealing with soft currencies such as the Brazilian cruzeiro the Argentinan austral and the Mexican peso We can bill in francs pounds deutsche marks when they get over here we can easily convert them to dollars Lukat says
If we were to bill in Mexican pesos all we could do is wallpaper an office with them Nobodys interested in trying to establish a market for the peso Lukat explains that these countries have no objection to trade in their own currencies but they restrict trade in US dollars because their foreign exchange reserves are very tight or nonexistent
Atlanta Saw uses a limited number of services offered by international banks For example Lukat says they use only one or two letters of credit each year
At the latest count Atlanta was home of 25 international banks providing the widest assortment of services available anywhere Some of the most commonly used are import and export letters of credit foreign collections country risk analyses foreign credit reports and translations International banks in Atlanta represent such countries as Belgium
Brazil Canada England France
Germany Italy Japan the Netherlands and Switzerland
Atlanta Saw began availing itself of some of these services as a division of Southern Saw Service Inc in 1965 It was incorporated as a wholly owned subsidiary in 1970 about the time Citizens and Southern became the chosen international bank Lukat says that while it would not be impossible to conduct business without an international bank it would definitely be difficult As long as youre going to be dealing on a cashforprofit basis youre almost forced to deal with a bank

Four train connections are made between Savannah and Mobile Barrett says the cargo is delivered on the third morning 98 percent of the time Its like clockwork he asserts
Degussa benefits from Savannahs firstin lastout designation provided by consortium vessels Ten days after the cargo is unloaded in Savannah the finished product may be loaded onto the same vessel for export to Europe
This allows us to operate with onethird fewer tanks Barrett says explaining that the round trip from Europe to Mobile through Savannah takes only 33 to 38 days
Another advantage is the Mobile bill of lading provided by the steamship line calling Savannah The steamship line pays the railroad A single charge by the ocean carrier simplifies the accounts payable process for Degussa

In the distribution scheme for Georgia and its hinterland the truck plays a critical role in bringing the factory to the consumer
In Georgia as in the nation as a
whole the impact of deregulation has been pronounced Proponents argued correctly that increased competition would result in lower costs to shippers as the truck lines went to war over rates On the other hand the competition became so fierce that many smaller independents were forced to close their doors This reduction in competition produced the exact opposite of the desired effect on transportation cost
Richard Brown scheduling and orders supervisor for Brunswick Pulp Paper feels the period of radical change may have run its course The trend of companies going out of business has subsided somewhat Now the independents are going to the brokers and convincing them to take a smaller cut of the pie The little guys are doing better now and can make a decent profit he explains Brown states that the current level of service breeds competition which is saving us a lot of money
Brown reports an increase in solicitation
by truckers because their new rate structure enables them to stack up well against the railroads He adds further that the traditional truckrail line of demarcation is a thing of the past Since deregulation the old 250mile breaking point is obsolete It really doesnt make much difference how far youre hauling
Some of Brunswick Pulp Papers customers opt for motor carriers because they prefer to deal in smaller parcel shipments The truck permits shipment of smaller lots for the buyer who carries a limited inventory His money is not tied up as long Brown explains He may spend an extra 100 for freight but thats offset by the savings in not having to carry excess stock The customer is saying Id rather work out of your warehouse than to carry an inventory Brown adds better tracing capability to the advantages of trucking
BPP uses motor carriers for both delivery of cargo to customers and delivery of raw materials to the plant It takes a lot of raw materials to produce 600000 tons of woodpulp cup and plate stock white linerboard and print linerboard each year Nearly 1000000 tons of virgin pulp in the form of logs and chips enter the plant annually To that add large quantities of process chemicals
Most of the timber arrives from South Georgia with contributions from Florida Alabama and South Carolina as well Ideally BPP seeks to minimize freight costs by sourcing from within a 250mile radius Were tightening the circle all the time Brown notes Trucking plays an important role in the firms ability to utilize this concentrated supply hinterland
As Georgias trucking industry begins to stabilize after the deregulation shakeup it offers shippers a lineup of approximately 125 motor carriers a fleet befitting the largest state east of Mississippi Within the state more than 1200 miles of interstate highway funnel cargoes in and out of two bustling deepwater ports and the distribution hub of the South Atlanta Geography makes Georgia a natural gateway for cargoes moving throughout the South East and Midwest An aggressive trucking industry parlays this advantage into freight tonnage every day

e got more than we hoped for because we let him do it all He not only knew how to talk he knew the right questions to ask So says Bob McCormack president of Bobs Candies Inc about Carlos Martel president of MultiSource Group Inc
In January 1983 Bobs Candies decided it needed an expansion of product manufacturing The high price of sugar however inhibited the development of a
USbased plant for this producer of hard candy mainly stick candy and candy canes But the alternatives were unclear
We knew we had to expand McCormack says We knew we wanted to investigate the opportunities Businesswise we would be foolish if we didnt
Bobs Candies is a family business in Albany Georgia It was founded in 1919 by McCormacks father and is run by seven of the McCormack family members They are the first to admit they knew little about international business
We wouldnt have gotten anywhere without Carlos McCormack says
With the help of their bank however they were lucky to meet a trading consultant such as MultiSource Group
On Sept 5 1984 operations began at their new 6500squarefoot facility in the Free Port Zone of Kingston Jamaica Bobs Candies Ltd employs 24 and its president is Bobs son Gregory McCormack According to the zones manager this was the quickest plant startup he had seen at the zone
Prior to meeting Martel McCormacks sons visited both Jamaica and Washington DC When they got back they were even more confused than when they started McCormack says
Working as a consultant Martel guided the McCormacks through the necessary
steps for an educated decision on where to locate their new plant He took them to Costa Rica and Jamaica introduced them to the right people and prepared a pro forma statement on the two incorporating statistical and financial information
Results showed that the landed cost of a case of candy differed only five cents between Jamaica and Costa Rica But the difference between offshore and the United States due to sugars cost was considerable The choice then was between Costa Rica and Jamaica The latter was chosen because of its use of the English language and a more favorable political climate
McCormack says that while the conclusion may have been reached without a trading consultant it would have been a much longer process Without the expertise within the company it would have needed developing Such expertise includes foreign investment and enterprise finance language and at least a general background in the clients industry And its often more a factor of who you know than what you know McCormack adds explaining that Martel just knew the people you would want to see
Martels company MultiSource Group is only one of several types of trading consultants Other skillful areas include export management customs house brokers and freight forwarders Georgia enjoys the presence of over 75 offices providing such services and working out of Atlanta Savannah and Brunswick

TRADING COMPANIES
GEORGIA INFRASTRUCTURE
The arms of a trading company which can extend around the globe are not unlike conveyor belts making
the international move of goods possible
Import export financing joint ventures distribution transportation These are some of the areas of activity for a major trading company according to Raoul R Donato general manager of the Atlanta office of Nissho Iwai American Corp He capsules their corporate objectives saying We try to penetrate new or developing markets for new products
For example Davids Cookies was enjoying considerable success in the New York market After analyzing the product Nissho Iwai arranged for the largest Japanese confectioner to visit the US to take a look at the product
Subsequently Nissho Iwai structured and financed a joint venture that has resulted in the opening of five outlets in Japan with as many as 25 more in the offing A similar arrangement is being contemplated for Europe Nissho Iwai also handles distribution and transportation for Nikes 1 billion shoe business
What does the presence of the worlds fifth largest trading company do for Atlanta Donato states Our presence here lends to the states stature as an international trade and transportation center Because of their worldwide contacts trading companies become a link to the markets that exist around the globe Our activities make us aware of whats in demand Donato explains If we see an existing product in a limited area that can be used to fill a gap elsewhere we will intervene and match supply to demand Nissho Iwais credentials are impressive Ten basic product divisions employ 9000 in 150 offices worldwide 15 of which are located in the US The companys North American division alone boasts an annual sales volume of 11 billion Of particular interest is an export to import ratio of 55
percent to 45 percent
Were now gearing up mostly for exports Donato says In particular were currently examining a wide variety of Georgia products to determine their applicability for Japanese European and South American markets An example from the high tech arena involves a recent agreement with the Georgia Institute of Technology to export newly developed processes and equipment
Donato is beyond optimistic in his projections for the Atlanta office predicting a tripling of business in the next five years He cites several reasons
We feel that Atlanta continues to be the major distribution center of the Southeast a city with tremendous growth potential Donato adds that 400 of the Fortune 500 companies have offices in Atlanta
Donato sees rapid sophistication of Atlantas international trade infrastructure He points to the opening of seven new Japanese banks in the last two years as an example Normally banks with their conservative business practices dont come unless they expect protracted growth he states
The opening up of Japanese markets will be good news for southeast US producers Donato predicts He sees 198586 as the right time for trading companies to introduce new products under the liberalized trade structure
Finally Donato believes expansion of the list of trading companies in Georgia will expand trade horizons for the region and state He says We see more competition but not necessarily direct competition for us We think the market is wide enough for competition to come in and help us handle the growth we see coming

When time is of the essence air freight becomes the logical option
I
use everything from Seattle to Oakland to Long Beach to Boston even New York occasionally I think Savannah for water transportation and Hartsfield for air is the best combination around This is how Phillip L Hall describes two important aspects of Georgias infrastructure a combination which is of critical importance to more than one shipper
Hall is responsible for the international transportation of clocks clock parts wooden clock cases and marine instruments for WestcloxSeth Thomas
The firm a division of General Time Corp moves about 10 percent of its total shipments by air The major portion consists of samples purchased by the companys buyers during overseas trips Also replacement parts and other timesensitive parcels move by plane
Because WestcloxSeth Thomas uses worldwide sourcing the coverage afforded by the international fleet calling Atlantas Hartsfield Airport cargo terminal is most important to the firm The bulk of our product comes out of Hong Kong The second heaviest concentration is in Northern Europe Hall explains He also lists Japan and fastemerging producers in South America as major suppliers
The Athens Georgia plant where Hall works houses a massive assembly facility as well as a distribution warehouse Most of the 1000 employees are engaged in manufacturing clocks for delivery to markets around the world Hall notes that air shipment plays an important although lesser role in the distribution scheme He says Most of our air distribution would be by package carriers like Emory and Federal Express Also we have cases where

freight to secure rush delivery
The Hartsfield Advantage goes beyond the movement of clocks however Hartsfield is very valuable to us Hall explains Its an advantage to us in that our international network of vendors can get to us easily WestcloxSeth Thomas Norcross Georgiabased sales force also finds the airport an invaluable tool
Hall carries his commitment to Atlantas airport one step further Were trying to get some of our vendors to switch to Hartsfield from other airports While the air freight may be more in some cases the savings in truck costs and improved delivery times make the total cost lower He also praises the quality of the service sector working the airport singling out US Customs in particular What makes Hartsfield so good is that Customs is so efficient There are fewer delays than at other airports
Hartsfields credentials are staggering
2000 flights daily 312000 metric tons of air cargo last year and over 800000 square feet of protected marshaling space For the firm with airrelated requirements Hartsfield certainly qualifies as a major attraction
As a user of airports worldwide Phil Hall is certainly wellqualified to discuss and compare His knowledge of Hartsfield goes even deeper insofar as he was a project scheduler for the airport construction project He says Im a firm believer in what theyve got going for them They have set Atlanta up as a transportation center for the Southeast and the country as a whole I would see Hartsfield as a keystone to attract many many businesses because of the distribution capability it offers

Express Container Service Initiated
The only nonstop service to and from Italy and the United States has chosen Savannah as its South Atlantic port of call An advantage for Savannah is its lastout port designation as the last US port of call Savannah offers the minimum transit time
Landmark Union Ltd has announced the inauguration of its Landmark Express Container Service linking the ports of Chioggia and Bari Italy to the United States The first sailing by the allcontainer vessel the MV Port of Chioggia is already enroute Sailings will take place every 20 days with the next sailing from Chioggia scheduled by the MV Port of Savannah
The ItalyUS route will be served by these two fullycellular 620TEU vessels Reefer features meet shippers various
demands with 40 plugs for refrigerated containers These vessels measure 600 feet in length
Landmark has been incorporated for two years Their headquarters are in London England Joseph Modica senior vice president and director of the General Agency Corp said this is the companys first step into the world of ocean transportation The General Agency Corp located in New York is general agent in the US In Italy the general agent is
SAR Servizio Armatori Riuniti srl
Chioggia is a new container port on the Italian Adriatic Coast at the mouth of the River Po Bari is also on the Adriatic Coast According to Landmark officials Chioggias location adjacent to the Po River Valley provides excellent land and river connections with the industrial sector
Landmarks Express Container Service the only such nonstop service brings the US closer to Italy in terms of time
of northern Italy as well as southern Europe
The names of the two vessels in the Landmark service then are quite appropriate Savannah and Chioggia are both growing container ports with valuable connections to inland industrial sectors In Georgia Eller and Co is the local agent for Landmark Lines
We chose Savannah as the South Atlantic port because we are the agents Mordica said They gave us a choice and Savannah is the best in the South Atlantic he said adding that both shippers and US receivers favor Savannah

ARRIVE AS TERMINAL THROUGHPUT PEAKS
We work everyday and a lot of weekends and nights Earl Bazemore said Earl is a crane operator who knows firsthand how busy GPAs CONTAINERPORT has been lately
His supervisor Steve Collum said that July 1985 was the busiest month ever with 27800 container crane picks and almost 13000 crane lease hours
Its not surprising then that
construction is winding into high gear at container berth five Just as

CONTAINERPORTs capacity becomes saturated the new berth will come on stream with three new highspeed container cranes and an additional 65acre field of paved container storage
For the past two years the property has been prepared and during the past few months shipments have delivered container parts from Kocks Crane and Marine Co in Germany Two specialized vessels the EsteSubmergers I and II delivered the cranes direct to CONTAINERPORT less than 500 yards from the construction site
These vessels were on charter to Sealift GmbH division of Kronschnabel GmbH and Co of Bremerhaven They may submerge to load floating objects up to 1325 feet in depth 492 feet in breadth and 2845 feet in length inside the hold even longer with the stem ramp removed
Three shipments were required Ron Smith director of marketing and sales for Southeastern Maritime Co

said the first shipment consisted of 1044 metric tons the second was 1000 metric tons and the third was 650 metric tons The heaviest pieces were three 71metricton waterside outriggers part of the third shipment E L Mobley was customs broker for Kocks and Southeastern Maritime was agent and stevedore
Smith explained that the pieces were brought in coordination with construction phases The basic parts arrived first He also noted that Kocks had designed an efficient layout in the field to avoid unnecessary shuffling and awkward moves around the sections awaiting erection
Supervision of the construction comes from Germany Lou Wekel is production manager over 14 others While he has established a permanent residence in Savannah many of the others traveled from Germanys temperate climate to Savannahs hot summer for the project Having arrived in June they live in apartments and expect to stay until December
Upon completion in December these additions will increase GPAs number of container cranes to nine The new cranes numbers seven eight and nine will enjoy the same cycle time as the other six an average of 90 seconds per pick Like the other cranes they will offer 113 feet of backstowage allowing quick temporary moves of containers to access those enclosed in a stack
In addition to this high speed and backstowage capability these new cranes enjoy several other advanced features They have a 985foot lift above the dock allowing easy clearance of the highest stacks of containers on the worlds largest containerships The cranes booms also stretch 20 feet farther out over the vessel than their older counterparts Finally and perhaps most importantly they enjoy an increased tonnage capacity up to 50 tons per pick
When were busy it takes everyone and everything weve got Bazemore explained GPA currently employs 27 container crane operators and intends to acquire more by crosstraining gantry crane operators
Compared to when I first started operating man its no comparison Bazemore concluded When Bazemore joined GPA 12 years ago there were only two gantry cranes at Garden City Terminal now home of thriving CONTAINERPORT
The Mountain Mover Kobelcos 282000pound front shovel was discharged in Savannah at Ocean Terminal Twelve pieces including a crated cab and crated parts comprised nine truckloads delivered to Vulcan Materials by Dave Davenport and Sons Inc
Two OT gantry cranes with capacities for 30 and 50 tons discharged the model K975 which originated at Kobe Steel in Osaka Japan The front shovel is designed to load 75 and 85ton trucks and is wellsuited to work the granite at Vulcans quarry in Norcross Georgia located less than an hour north of Atlanta
Davenport with trucking assembling and storage facilities in Savannah sent three representatives to Norcross to assemble the machine They were assisted by two Kobelco service engineers one design engineer and one service technician The ease of erection surprised us all said Phil Stubblefield southeast region manager for Kobelco America Inc It only took two and a half days and we thought it would take a week
Such quick work may be appreciated upon realizing the tracks alone for the machine stand as high as any sixfootone
person When the machine is assembled the highest point the top of the shovel is 21 feet five inches above the ground The K975 is 15 feet seven inches wide and the top of its cab stands 18 feet four inches high
The machine features KPSS Kobelcos unique hydraulic system that uses three pumps on each engine One pump out of each set of three operates independently to provide smooth and reliable movements
Stubblefield rode with Vulcans operator during the first four hours of operation He said the cycle times of loading an 85ton truck with granite ranged from two minutes and 25 seconds to three minutes and 27 seconds Especially noted of the K975 was the ability to remove single rocks too large for Vulcans crusher By noon Stubblefield said an older electric shovel was shut down and only the Kobelco machine was used The machine has excellent visibility and power to spare concluded the operator RB Williams
The Kobelco K975 is a piece of equipment a man can look up to

A NATURAL
Rubber Through Savannah On Hoeghs Monthly Service
Firestone is importing a consistent and high volume of rubber through Savannahs Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal these days
When business is good 1000 tons of natural rubber will be imported monthly from Firestones rubber plantation in Liberia said Jim Otis the companys senior buyer of natural rubber Fie further explained that Firestone has switched ports of call for rubber imports originating in the Far East About 600 tons of rubber formerly moving through the Gulf are now imported monthly through Savannah Most of this cargo is destined for the tire industry
Savannah has an advantage in that it has more uncongested space a good rail system and rates that are comparable if not better Otis noted
Another advantage of the Port of Savannah is its proximity to US plants in the Southwest and Midwest Otis said Firestones Far Eastern rubber is delivered to its plant in Albany Georgia The African rubber is destined for Albany Oklahoma City Des Moines Iowa and Decatur Illinois John Totten with Nedlloyds inland freight department said that Firestone has used Hoegh Line for more than 25 years Nedlloyd Inc is Hoeghs general agent in North America Uniroyal also avails itself of Hoeghs service linking foreign rubber sources to plants in the Southeast
Hoegh employs five vessels in this service the Hoegh Carrier Clipper Cairn Cape and Mary These general cargo vessels weigh approximately
15000 gross tons and will call Savannah on a monthly basis Carolina Shipping is local agent for Hoegh
When business is good about 1600 tons of natural rubber arrive monthly and are stored in the transit sheds adjacent to the docks

FOE US FACILITY
Symonds Australia Inc has chosen Savannahs Foreign Trade Zone 104 as home for its assembly distribution and sales facility in the United States
Symonds manufactures and markets rotary rakes and blade plows equipment used to clear land after trees are felled Darrell Symonds marketing executive for Symonds Products in Western Australia said he developed the blade plow 20 years
ago to clear 5000 acres of farmland The machine worked so well it developed marketing potential Today several million acres have been cleared in Australia using Symonds equipment
In 1984 Darrell Symonds visited the US and saw applications within the forest industry Twomonth demonstrations were conducted in Georgia Alabama Florida Virginia North Carolina and Wisconsin
As a result several units were sold to Union Camp in Savannah and the US Forestry Department in Wisconsin
The first Symonds shipment arrived in Savannah aboard the AES Cavara Harrington Ship Agencies is the agent for AES and FW Myers Co Inc is customs broker for Symonds
Two opentop containers transported three rotary rakes and two blade plows
SAANNAH FTZ
The cargo originated at Symonds Products Western Australia facility at Perth Symonds explained that the rotary rake is designed to windrow without moving soil off the site Windrow means to rake up vegetation into a row often for drying The blade plow similarly protects the environment by moving beneath the soil service cutting through the root matter of competition growth without disturbing the surface soil
Symonds officials say they look forward to assembling and selling this specialized equipment from a new 2500squarefoot building adjacent to another 2500 square feet of open storage on FTZ 104 property They said they expect 2025 machines to be imported in 1986
Darrell Symonds attributed their choice of a Savannah site to the ports facilities and central location The predominance of the Southeast forest industry was another major factor The southeast United States contains large areas of pine which are clear felled Symonds said The proximity to the Port of Savannah business center and engineering services make this an ideal location he added
Symonds Savannah office is located at 306 W State Street The mailing address is PO Box 10297 Savannah GA 31412

A winwin situation between shippers and carriers is the only way both may prosper panelists agreed at the Traffic Clubs International 62nd Congress held in Savannah
If the carrier doesnt make money he wont be there to serve us explained William Morgan director of traffic services at FritoLay Corp Both the carrier and shipper need profits to ensure consistent and reliable freight moves As Newton Graves of Yellow Freight System said Were in it for the profits we dont need the practice Graves is vice president of national accounts at Yellow Freight
J Leon Baxter cautioned congress attendees not to merely consider costs however but to look instead at value This traffic manager at John H Harland Co shipper of checks and bank stationery said the goal shouldnt be simply a costsavings report at the end of the year but rather We saved some money but perhaps more importantly we got reliable service from our carriers
Baxter and Morgan were the shippers representatives on a panel titled How to Buy and How to Sell Transportation Today Other factors they deemed important in transportation sales included cost innovativeness honesty reliability personality and service
Service is the thing called oil that lubricates the relationship Morgan stated
How do carriers attempt to provide this allimportant competitive service The carrier representatives said they begin with listening to the customers in other words they are market driven Douglas D Hagestad senior vice president of marketing at Illinois Central Gulf Railroad justified it well There is no point in proposing something the consumer is not ready to accept he said
Federal Express for example surveys its customers regularly According to William L Conley Jr managing director of national accounts Federal Express then modifies its services to meet consumer demands As a result charges have been
lowered weight limits increased and services expanded amidst other improvements
Conley advised carriers in the audience to bring a valueadded service to their customers Figure out ways that this valueadded service can be applied within your customer base so they can utilize your service on a regular basis so that you can be not just another carrier in their eyes but an integral part of their distribution and shipping activities he said
As a carrier becomes this integral part of a shippers activities it should learn to

How to double the size of your yard without buying a single acre
Pacecos Transtainer gantry crane can stack considerably more containers per acre than straddle carriers Twice as many as frontlift trucks So you can double your yards capacity without buying a single acre
The Least Expensive Yard Handler
You can buy an ordinary straddle carrier or frontlift truck for less than a Paceco Transtainer But how many would you have to buy to match the performance of a hardworking Transtainer
And what about the long run The Paceco Transtainers life
expectancy has proven to be at least two to three times longer than strads or FLTs
How long can you expect your Transtainer to last Officially Paceco estimates 20 years But its hard to say since every Transtainer built by Paceco is still in service Even the seven units built between 1960 and 1962
Goodbye Elephant House The Transtainer is a dedicated stacking crane so it has a lighter duty cycle That means less wear and tear and considerably less downtime Below 1 in many cases Lower maintenance and

repair costs And unlike straddle carriers Transtainers dont require elephant houses
The Bottom Line in Yard Handling Equipment
If youre caught in the yard space crunch or want a more efficient yard operation we think Pacecos Transtainer is the answer Terminal operators in over 100 ports all around the world agree

spend a half hour onsite questioning and investigating what happened Another half hour was then required to fill out a comprehensive report
Boucher explained the bottomline effect these reports have on GPA by finding out the causes of various incidents By witnessing these incidents or identifying other areas of concern the GPA police department helps to prevent recurrences
Boucher remembered his most exciting event while at GPA which happened when he was only six months into his job A tugboat went under the dock Had no GPA police been on site there would have been no documentation Thats why were out there he said I would venture to say the damage would not have been noticed had we not been there
During his four years with the GPA port police department Boucher has received five commendations for recommending fire and safety improvements on port property Im always looking naturally for fire Boucher said He explained that about 60 percent of his time is spent patrolling In addition to looking for suspicious characters he also focuses on facilities For example if a fence seems insecure he initiates steps to remedy the problem
Its those kinds of things that got me these stripes he said He was promoted in June from officer to corporal He had previously served gate duty guard duty pilferage duty and special assignment duty
Boucher said he was glad to get away from the routine of gate duty as a result of his promotion but he did acquire some interesting tidbits from the truck drivers passing through For example he said they obviously appreciate the quick turnover from arrival to release of cargo in Savannah Where they said trucks can get out of Savannahs port usually in an hour they said other South Atlantic ports can take as long as three to six hours and some North Atlantic ports take up to eight hours to get a box out
Boucher is one of seven corporals on the GPA port police force There is also one chief two captains seven sergeants 38 officers and four investigators An administrative staff of two completes the department

Two major steamship services Barber Blue Sea and ScanCarriers have agreed upon an administrative merger Starting operation on October 1 the new organization will be called ScanBarber BBS President ErikWaage Nielsen will head the Oslo Norwaybased administration
ScanBarber will function as a management company while the two lines retain their separate identities Even though two different boards will be maintained savings will be produced in total administration costs
In May of this year BBS and ScanCarriers initiated a slot chartering agreement which focused upon the problem of overtonnaging in the USMideast trade This plan represented an important step in improving the economy for both groups The management consolidation was a logical next step
The Tourcoing and Boogabilla Scancarriers contributions to the ScanBarber merger called recently on their maiden voyages to Savannah The sister ships have a capacity for 1800 TEUs and
61000 cubic meters of storage for breakbulk cargo
Executive Vice President of BBS Raymond R Miles stated We think it quite remarkable indeed that through close cooperation of the many parties involved we have been able to work out a largescale solution to the overtonnaging problem without any interruption in service to customers in the trade routes involved
Nielsen added The fleet cooperation agreement and now the merger of our administrations are important steps towards consolidating the overall strength of BBS and ScanCarriers It is essential to develop economies of scale benefits to combat falling freight rates At the same time this improved organization will continue to offer its clients an extended range of first class service
Formed in 1974 BBS is a joint venture between Wilh Wilhelmsen AS of Norway Ocean Transport and Trade ole of England and The TransAtlantic Group of Sweden BBS offers a 10day service to the port of Savannah
A partnership of Wilhelmsen TransAtlantic and the East Asiatic Co Ltd of Denmark ScanCarriers calls between Europe and Australia New Zealand

Warehouse III Complete
Georgia Ports Authority continues to upgrade breakbulk facilities at Ocean Terminal an unusual occurrence at deepwater ports these days with the influx of containers The latest in a series of such improvements is the completion of warehouse III in midOctober
This warehouse adds another 200000 square feet of covered storage bringing the Ocean Terminal total to 1622760
square feet Forest products which accounted for five out of the top ten exports in 1984 are likely candidates for storage in the new building
The warehouse stands 1250 feet from Ocean Terminals new berth 13 an area that was formerly a slip Earlier this year a 1000foot berth was constructed with
235000 square feet of dockside open storage and 565000 square feet of adjacent transit shed This is another example of advanced breakbulk facilities at Ocean Terminal
The function of the new warehouse is not only to store but to help cargo move with the utmost speed and efficiency The building eases the entry of cargo from all modes whether truck rail or forklifts from the vessel Two 24footwide ramps deliver forklifts into the concrete and metal structure with an eightfoothigh guard wall designed for forklift protection Twelve truckloading doors are sealed watertight Finally a covered rail dock spans the length of the building 753 feet
9
The warehouse inside is 24 feet high at the sides and 33 feet high at the highest beam One central fire wall is the only obstruction in over 5850000 cubic feet of storage space
The structure has an advanced preaction fire protection system designed to afford maximum security for combustible cargo This system isolates and minimizes both fire and water damage by dividing the warehouse into six zones If a fire were to break out in one zone only that zone would be treated Only when sensors in other zones detect danger of fire will more sprinkler heads be turned on There are 2356 sprinkler heads located in the building
The new 200000square foot warehouse located only 1250 feet from Ocean Terminals berth 13 brings the terminals total covered storage to 1622760 square feet

OLD BUILDING GETS
SPIRITUAL
UPLIFTING
Located in the former Georgia Ports Authoritys administration building Savannahs International Seamens House Annex provides hospitality and comfort to weary sailors
Opened this summer the annex is maintained by Steve Jackson a parttime ministerial student from the Covenant Seminary in St Louis Missouri Its facilities are much like those of the downtown Seamens Home but most importantly it transmits a homey atmosphere
According to Rev Dale Umbreit of the downtown home The annex is a branch to be operated in the same way as the Seamens House Services offered to all nationalities include multilingual testaments television periodicals overseas telephones and spiritual guidance Also it gives the sailors a chance to escape the confines of the ship
The ideal site and accommodations at the port were donated by GPA with the Womens Propeller Club donating the furniture Tom McGoldrick president of the Savannah Port Society says that containerships are spending minimum time at the dock Therefore the convenient location of the annex is more accessible to crews who are unable to travel downtown
To better familiarize crewmembers with the annex McGoldrick added that a new brochure is in progress Presently sailors learn about both facilities through wordofmouth and cards with the necessary information on them The new brochure will include information on the annex as well as the original home
The International Seamens House and Annex is operated by Rev Umbreit with the support of the Committee on Mission to the World of the Presbyterian Church in America Both are sponsored by the Savannah Port Society and each welcomes maritime visitors from every port around the world

For a legend was born of her greeting Embracing the land and the sea
Of a meeting in port And a gay report Of a wedding that was And of a Mate who was lost at sea
Decades ago a North Irish sailor memorialized the Waving Girl in a poem describing the legend of Florence Martus
They say Florence Martus fell in love with a sailor She and her sweetheart became engaged and agreed to marry upon his return to port Before he left she promised to greet every passing vessel so that no matter when he arrived hers would be the first signal to greet him Alas he never returned Some say his ship went down in a hurricane the sea robbing Florence of her love
Florence Martus in reality was a lady who lived in a little white cottage with her brother George keeper of the lighthouse on Elba Island She had short curly red hair and an everpresent collie at her side For over 44 years she welcomed every ship sailing into Savannahs harbor By day she waved a kerchief by night a lantern In return she received a salute from passengers and crewmen Often the
The statue of the Waving Girl perpetuates the legend based on the life of Florence Martus
ship would blast its horn three times for a resonant Hello
She faithfully waved to mariners of every nation obtaining worldwide recognition for her warm greetings In the 12 years I was on a yacht she never failed to come out and wave at us wrote New Yorker Rudolph Anger in 1959
At the end of World War I as the US troop ship with the last of the American Army of the Rhine sailed up the Savannah River Florence Martus gave them their first welcome As a writer of the times said What a tremendous response she must have received from those soldiers for to them the Waving Girl was a symbol of their homeland She touched and intrigued the sailors many gave her gifts and donated money to keep her memory alive years later
Florence Martus explained her actions a bit more practically than the legend In 1931 she told a reporter
I was young and it was sort of lonely on the Island for a girl so I started to wave to the ships which passed They would return the greeting and sometimes salute Gradually they came to watch for my friendly wave from the shore We had many friends on tugboats and among the Bar Pilots
Miss Martus lived on the Island until 1931 when her brother retired as lighthouse keeper They moved inland to the Isle of Hope south of the City of Savannah On her 70th birthday the Savannah area and its Propeller Club had what was reported as the largest birthday celebration ever held there More than
3000 attended the party at Cockspur Island The Martuses lived out the rest of their lives in the house on the seaward side of Savannah George died in 1940 and Florence in 1943 at the age of 75
Today a monument resides on a respected spot on River Street In 1972 the Altrusa Club of Savannah perpetuated the legend with a bronze statue of Florence Martus At dedication ceremonies red carnations from a Danish admirer were placed at the base of the memorial The flowers from Alex Boin of Nastvard Denmark were sent with a card in loving memory of a sweetslip of a girl whose unfailing greeting warmed the heart of seafaring men the world over
The statue is the work of Felix de Weldon a Viennaborn sculptor best known for his statue of the Flag Raising on Iwo Jima the Marine Corps War Memorial at the foot of Arlington Cemetery in Washington DC A de Weldon statue stands on every continent of the world The sculptor told reporters at the dedication ceremony that he modeled the statue on photographs of Miss Martus attempting to visualize her the way he thought the sailors saw her
Just as the nations most famous monument the Statue of Liberty has felt the effects of weather so has the Waving Girl The Altrusa Club recently initiated a makeover for the statue The cleaning and maintenance will ensure that Savannahs most famous lady will hail a greeting to mariners for many years to come
A tale of a hail
And a wave from deck
Of a pout and a shout
And a sweet wave back
The real Waving Girl touched the souls of many a sailor If todays seamen remember the story perhaps the Waving Girl statue will instill in their hearts a warm welcome to the Port of Savannah

distinguish between its needs and wants The ideal result is a service tailored to the customer noted Yellow Freights Graves He discussed computerized tracking and billing services that he sees shippers paying for but not using He also noted voluminous reports going untouched
You have to look at what they can use he surmised
All of this insight into a customers wants and needs may be translated into corporate action Ideally the action is part of a strategic plan put together with time hard work and a little blood sweat and tears Illinois Central Gulfs Hagestad noted Everything we do streams from some kind of conscious assessment
Given the corporate plan and its determinations of market demand the next step is to sell the services The carriers represented by the panel offered several approaches
At Yellow Freight Graves approach was fairly simple While the sales department may not be the whole company the whole company is the sales department he said A good sales department does little good if the rest of the company isnt working with you He described a geographical setup with the local people being the front line and authority moving up to local supervisors and then to the division level
Federal Express also follows the wholecompanyassales approach with even their drivers going through sales training Telemarketing and retail service outlets back up the efforts of geographicallyplaced sales reps Illinois Central Gulf also uses the telephone to complement its sales force Hagestad said
Both Federal Express and Yellow Freight also mentioned their use of the national account system what Graves called the monosodium glutamate or the flavor enhancer of a sales department Conley explained that this is a vertical system as opposed to the horizontal structure of the geographical approach He said that his national account system is segmented by industry Thus representatives may better understand their customers needs
Jack Strangfeld vice president of Dart Orient Services concluded the panels presentation with a call for consideration of not only the immediate customer but also the third party the ultimate user of the cargo He cautioned against dangerous rate wars and said Shortterm opportunists may appear to beat the system but only at the risk of the wellbeing of that fragile existence that fragile third party

Caught In
The Sea of Red Tape
Who is to blame when your cargo gets tied up at Customs sits onboard a vessel on a pier or in a terminal costing you time and money
Consider the facts Every day tens of thousands of containers and shipments descend upon the Eastern seaboard and inland ports with tons and tons of cargo For each shipment no less than eleven pages of import documents are generated and sent to US Customs for clearance and release
If so much as a piece count a description or any important detail is missing the documents are returned and the clearance process starts all over
As your Custom Brokers Rogers Brown professionals have a reputation for finding the reason for delays and clearing them up quickly
To expedite the thousands of transactions we handle throughout the country we pioneered sophisticated computer software to process the volumes of paperwork
Our experienced staff anticipates problems before they have a chance to occur We often clear cargo before it ever reaches the continent
When you turn the responsibilities over to Rogers Brown for Customs Brokerage or Freight Forwarding you can be sure the job will be done right the first time
Leave the red tape to Rogers Brown The shortest distance between two points
Dont blame it on the Feds

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
To borrow a phrase from the financial sector the State of Georgia is on the threshold of an upside breakout in the area of transportation
A groundswell of support has developed for the proposed developmental highway system This ambitious undertaking would extend road access beyond existing developed areas to developable sites throughout the state In addition connectors between major metropolitan centers would be greatly improved As the largest state east of the Mississippi Georgia boasts numerous industrial sites and this new highway network would provide the means to utilize them
In the last six months interests in both the private sector and state government have become increasingly aware of the need to further sophisticate Georgias highway systems This heightened concern is most timely in that it coincides with a period of intense developmental interest in the South as a whole Our region consistently wins out in competition for siting of new plants The developmental highway system will be critical if Georgia is to offer cost competitive access to its considerable land resources
The railroads have been most active in redrawing Georgias inland transportation map Both the Norfolk Southern and the CSX have spent millions on new yards
new lines and track upgrading Intermodal has received particular emphasis as evidenced by construction of new rail ramps at the Port of Savannah and at other locations around the state
Seaboards ambitious Hulsey Yard project in Atlanta is another example of the financial commitment being made to rail service
Atlanta is of course the epicenter of the states transportation and distribution activities Civic and business leaders have stated their goal to make the city the intermodal hub of the United States and physical improvements suggest that railroad officials share the view that Georgias economy is indeed upbeat It is significant that the state remains a showcase for the rail industrys latest technology the most recent example being the double stack train now operating out of the Port of Savannah
Not to be outdone Atlantas Hartsfield Airport is expanding its international service Direct flights to Japan and Ireland as well as to additional German cities are in the offing Hartsfield was recently voted the most efficient and convenient North American airport by European travelers It stands as a major enticement to any industry whose sales staff demands ready access to domestic and international markets Expansive air freight facilities and service also accrue to Hartsfields benefit
By way of a commercial Georgia Ports Authority can add container berth 5 the Colonels Island dry bulk facility Mayors Point Terminal Bainbridge barge terminal expansion and the Ocean Terminal slip one project to Georgias list of transportation improvements All of the highway rail and airport improvements detailed above will have a most beneficial impact on the future of our ports It is incumbent upon the GPA therefore to uphold its end of the bargain by providing port facilities worthy of Georgias status as a major international trade center
Sustained progress is always the result of a cooperative effort This has been a banner year for Georgia Ports Authority and the list of those who have helped us carry our banner is lengthy indeed I take this opportunity to extend to our many friends in the transportation shipping and governmental sectors best wishes for a joyous holiday season and a prosperous peaceful 1986

DOUBLESTACK
LINKS
USL TO GULF
To the thousands of tourists visiting each year Savannah is well known for its historic landmarks the first planned city in the United States a historic division that serves as a case study for the rest of the country and the site of strategic battles in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars
To those interested in transportation Savannah is recognized as a landmark city also It was the King Cotton Port during the heyday of that cargo It was the homeport for the first steamship to cross the Atlantic the SS Savannah Today it is the chosen South Atlantic load center for the worlds largest container and RoRo vessels
Just this fall another unprecedented event has occurred adding yet another chapter to our history books The first doublestack container train in the South Atlantic arrived on October 16 at Georgia Ports Authority facilities in Savannah
The doublestack service of the South Atlantic is a venture of US Lines utilizing Seaboard System Railroad and the Georgia Ports Authority in Savannah
Every Wednesday the train leaves Savannah via Seaboard on a 27hour trip to New Orleans The doublestack then takes a western track from New Orleans to Houston via the Union Pacific System
This New OrleansHouston leg takes 15 hours
The return to Savannah leaves New Orleans the following Saturday The first westbound train loaded 47 twentyequivalentunits and 112 fortyequivalentunits The first eastbound train loaded 16 TEUs and 49 FEUs in Houston and five TEUs and 65 FEUs in New Orleans
The oneday trip to New Orleans and two days to Houston compares with the three days it would take a steamship to call all three ports This time savings is further enhanced by the short transfer required at GPAs CONTAINERPORT Containers move less than 100 feet between transport modes
You just hit it square and let it roil explained GPA Superintendent Joe Frost as he described the easy loading of the doublestack cars
Inaugurated by Seaboard System Railroad M the weekly eastbound and westbound trains for US Lines link Savannah and the Gulf Coast
To ease such quick intermodal moves Georgia Ports Authority provides eight rail spurs through the 245acre container field GPAs three locomotives weave between and alongside the stacks of containers right up to the docks margin In addition two rails run underneath the terminals nine container cranes to accommodate loading direct from vessel to railcar as the need arises
The speed afforded by the Savannah State Docks Railroad is complemented by preclearance of containers GPAs COBRA computerized dataprocessing system works with US Customs
ACCEPT system to keep the clearance process down to a matter of minutes instead of days
Time savings realized by US Lines load center concept along with the fuel savings result in cost efficiencies ultimately benefiting the shipper Perhaps more significant however are the cost savings intrinsic in the doublestack concept
To understand these savings a comprehension of the train is necessary The innovative doublestack container train has 20 cars each 266 feet long and each with five doublestack articulated platforms With each platform accommodating two 40foot containers the train has a capacity of 200 boxes or more with a mix of 40foot and 20foot containers A variety may be accommodated including the 96 highcube
In describing this equipment Richard D Sanborn Seaboards president and chief executive officer noted that doublestack trains offer reduced costs through lower weight of the rail equipment Special arrangements with railroad operating unions for a reduced crew size further improve the economics of the service
Experience has shown that doublestack operations offer savings in the 2040 percent range certainly a competitive edge to the port that can accommodate the new technology
Those are big big numbers exclaimed Paul Richardson at an AAPA seminar He ventured to say that no large steamship
With twenty cars each with five doublestack platforms above the SavannahGulf train can accommodate 200 containers using only one crew and one engine
Its amazing the cost savings we can generate said Ed Codd assistant vice president of international marketing for Seaboard System Railroad

Several of the benefits of moving doublestack trains through Georgia Ports Authority above are the eight rail spurs traveling through the facilitys container field up to the
docks margin
NovemberDecember 1985
The doublestack train is designed to accommodate a variety of containers including twentyfooters fortyfooters and
high cubes
line would choose a new port without the capacity for doublestack trains
These innovative cost savings are generated in part by cooperation among various transportation entities New technology and raillabor cooperation have combined to the mutual benefit of Seaboard US Lines and the consuming public Sanborn said
With doublestack equipment the lower container clears the rails by just nine inches to provide the adequate overhead clearance for underpasses and railroad truss bridges Savannah was lucky in that it did not require any adjustments in its rail structure in order to accept the special train onto its port property
Savannah also enjoys the advantage of having the desired fleet of equipment on hand to usher high volumes of containers with speed safety and efficiency
We have the just right equipment for handling doublestack containers said Joe Frost CONTAINERPORT supervisor for GPA Its toplift work and our biggest amount of machinery is toplifits GPAs fleet of toplifits numbers 15 with individual capacities ranging from 80000 to 110000 pounds
Once the box is lined up in the bottom of the car it slides on in Frost explained You just hit it square and let it roll its a dream
So far US Lines seems to agree with Frosts statement In their first month of operating the doublestack train they sent 76 stackcars to and from the Gulf A total of 1039 containers were carried westbound and 988 eastbound
The doublestack cars are only nine inches above the rail This facilitates easier transport through tunnels and under bridge trusses

Western Railroad An earlier shipment utilized the Seaboard System Railroad Bob Newborn A E Staleys merchandising manager for commodities said both railroads served the company fine it was simply a matter of rates at a particular time
Rates played an important role in the choice of Brunswick as port of call said Newborn who called the port reasonable He described the stevedoring the dockage and the handling with that word And the railroads out of Brunswick were good when compared with the North Atlantic ports he added
Susan Thompson vice president of administration and customer services at Marine Port Terminals said she expects three or four 3000ton shipments of potato starch per year at Brunswick Newborn said I expect additional shipments but didnt predict the frequency He said it depends on two factors One is the price of European starch and the other is the availability of potato starch in the United States
Unitized handling at the Port of Brunswick sped the discharge of 3300 tons of potato starch a raw material used in the production of paper
PAPER PRODUCT RESOURCE MOVES THROUGH BRUNSWICK
Brunswick is gaining in recognition as a popular forest products port in the South Atlantic In fiscal year 1985 ended June 30 1985 Georgias southernmost port maneuvered 91273 tons of forest products over its docks That accounts for a 145 percent increase over fiscal year 1984
Some products that are related to the forest products industry but not a direct part of it also move through Brunswick The potato starch industry has discovered the port and its quick and economical connection to the inland United States
Potato starch is chemically modified for use in the paper industry According to the American Paper Institute starch is used as an opacity enhancer In other words it makes the paper opaque as opposed to translucent so that one may print on both sides of it Starch also im
parts a certain stiffness to paper API adds
A E Staley Manfacturing Co uses Brunswick for its transport of European potato starch A shipment arrived at East River Terminal from Germany totaling 3300 tons The cargo was shipped from the Port of Rotterdam
Exactly 60000 50kilo bags were unloaded from the Julia a Mineral Shipping vessel that makes regular calls to both of Georgias deepwater ports in Brunswick and Savannah Brunswick Ship Agency was the steamship agent Hipage Co the broker and Marine Port Terminals the stevedore
The industrial grade starch was bound for A E Staleys plant in Monte Vista Colorado This shipment was delivered by Norfolk Southern Corp to Kansas City and then by the Denver Rio Grande

IF A CLYDE COULD TALK
Equipment is inanimate When one drives along a modem riverside however the giant gantry container and straddle cranes often appear as science fiction creatures like those giants in Star Wars
If a Clyde crane at Georgia Ports Authoritys Ocean Terminal could talk it might recently have said Dam So close and yet Im not even straining I wish theyd give me something heavier to lift
Just another three tons and the crane would have pumped up to its maximum strength for 175ton lifts
The cargo responsible for merely stretching the cranes muscles was a 172ton Wein Garten percussion screw press The machinery was manufactured in West Germany and bound for Pratt and Whitney a manufacturing plant for jet engine parts in Columbus Georgia
The Acadia Forest loaded the cargo in Bremerhaven and discharged it in Savannah The press along with three additional cases totaling 115 tons was unloaded from a barge utilizing Ocean Terminals easyaccess slip Special efficiencies there profit those who load directly onto railcars
The crane that moved the heavy parcel is the strongest single crane at GPA facilities in Savannah Two may be married for even more power For this particular equipment the slings that attached to the cranes hook traveled with the cargo for ease of handling throughout the move Dimensions of the press were 2910 long 122 wide and 128 high
Gulf and Eastern is the agent for Forest Lines which operates a series of LASH vessels that increase the reach of ocean shipping The mother ship carries barges that may be discharged and funneled into river networks serving deepwater ports Palmetto Shipping and Stevedoring were
Just three more tons and this parceled press would have filled the Clyde cranes capacity 175 tons
stevedores and Sauter Corp was the forwarder Sauter is an international machinery rigger and transport firm and will be involved in the installation of the press
Timothy Rauch of Sauters project sales and planning department said that Sauter consistently imports cargo such as presses and transformers via the East
Coast He estimated up to four million pounds of presses alone are imported in a year
For whatever we have in the South we will use Savannah he said adding that it was like night and day when comparing Savannah to some other ports in the South It would take twice as much time at certain other ports he said commending Savannah on its nice and easy access

TCM Adds New Profile to RoRo Cargo at GPA
Almost every month Savannah sees a new type of equipment crossing her docks Last month the latest newcomer was TCM Toyo Carrying Machine
Nine rubbertired frontend loaders were imported by TCM America which utilizes Mitsui as its trading company The equipment ranged from 29000 pounds model 850 with a threecubicyard loader to 45000 pounds model 870 with a fourandahalfcubicyard loader
The cargo was manufactured by TCM at Ryugasaki Japan A Barber Blue Sea vessel the Barber Toba loaded the product at Yokohama The cargos ultimate destinations are various material handling jobs such as construction sites quarries or paper mills where materials such as dirt gravel or wood chips need moving
Immediate plans for the frontend loaders include storage at Dave Davenport and Sons Inc facilities Seven of the machines will be transported to Davenports Houston warehouse on Davenports detachableneck trailers Two will remain in Savannah for further distribution from Davenports fiveacre facility
This arrangement between Davenport
and TCM is one of the latest initiated by the Japanese firm But dont let this newness fool you TCM has amassed respectable experience in the equipment business It first entered manufacturing in 1949 building forklifts In 1960 TCM introduced the first Japanese wheel loader ever TCM began as a licensee for Clark Equipment an American manufacturer This arrangement has recently expired Hence the new name on Savannahs dock
Edwin C Fouts marketing manager for TCM America said that Savannah was chosen as port of call because of its location Savannah is a port thats very convenient to the Southeast he said describing a network of three ports serving the northeastern southeastern and western United States Savannahs volume will depend on distribution factors he predicted
Nine TCM frontend loaders were discharged in Savannah Seven will travel to Texas for further distribution and two will be distributed from Dave Davenport and Sons facility in Savannah

TOOLS
OF THE
TRADE
Change is inherent in transportation these days as tumultous battles constantly ensue just to stay in business The Georgia Foreign Trade Conference examined some major issues affecting the industry such as conglomerates consortia and service contracts all of which were touched by the Shipping Act of 1984 While the jury remains out on their advantages and disadvantages it is agreed that an attempt to understand these evolving tools is imperative
Conglomerates The formation of transportation conglomerates is changing the face of competition between transportation companies between transportation modes and between industries that rely heavily on transportation says G P Hunter director of international sales for Norfolk Southern Corp It may get to the point where its difficult to tell whos what in relation to whom
A congolmerate is defined by Websters dictionary as a widely diversified corporation Hunter described his conglomerations goal to become a total transportation company
The factors behind todays transportation conglomerates were listed by Hunter They include the globalization of trade Whats emerging is a single homogeneous market everybody worldwide wants the same things To this he added advanced communications
technology which creates a global commonality
Sophistication of international finance is also related to the evolution of conglomerates The insulation of a thriving US economy is diminshed Hunter offered Finally the technologies in the industry are very expensive Capital investments are huge
To achieve higher efficiencies and lower costs necessitated by these huge investments the conglomerate has become ever more popular Hunter proposed that merging accomplishes operating efficiency and expanded market territory Its no coincidence that the current wave of mergers and acquisitions began to build immediately following enactment of the Staggers Act of 1980 which deregulated the railroads he noted
Hunter said the resulting consolidation of Norfolk and Western Railway and Southern Railway into Norfolk Southern helped the railroads take advantage of opportunities and avoid pitfalls created by deregulation The need to act quickly is critical With our two railroads working in tandem its relatively easy to put together marketing packages quickly
In addition to quick competition against other railroads deregulation in other sectors of transportation has increased the competition there To be truly competitive railroads will have to expand their transportation service beyond the rails The successful transportation
company will be the one most adept at coordinating moves involving more than one mode the one who sells not only transportation but service
Consortia
Other modes of transportation are also finding strength by coming together One example is the growth of consortia Bas C van Nes general manager of South Atlantic US Gulf and Mexico services for Incotrans said that the Oxford dictionary defines a consortium as a partnership or association He added that the main objective is to achieve a costeffective type of operation
Consortia developed around 1960 with the introduction of containerization It was either embark or miss the bus van Nes explained The main problem was the investment in new containerships The vessels promised four times the capacity but were also three times as expensive Many lines could not do it on their own and cooperation was the only remedy
Van Nes described the consortia of the late 60s and 70s as a totally different animal from the consortium of today The early consortium consisted of a single image or identity often with a single legal identity whose distribution among partners was based on net profit rather than distribution revenue sharing or expenses Joint marketing was seen as the unavoidable solution Separate identities were given up for the consortiums identity This kind of sacrifice was common van Nes explained
Prerequisites for this kind of organization were agreements on objectives shares investments duration ship replacement and financial compensation Without a solid agreement activities were likely to be hampered by conflicts of interest by the individual partners Van Nes summarized
Fortunately the Shipping Act of 1984 boosted cooperation agreements by liberalizing the conditions for such agreements among carriers van Nes said Consortia continue to offer tremendous rationalization and savings in the number of ships depolyed and a better frequency but one major difference prevails
The new cooperatives only restrict themselves to rationalization of ship operations The carriers maintain separate marketing bills of lading and conference memberships The emphasis is on the reduction of vessel operating costs van Nes concluded
Service Contracts
Another tool to reduce transportation costs is the service contract Described as the other side of the coin by F Becton Uhrbrock general traffic manager for KMart Apparel Corp service contracts

The year 1985 is being celebrated by Nippon Yusen Kaisha NYK as its 100th birthday A delegation from the State of Georgia visited Japan recently where the executive director of Georgia Ports Authority presented a handengraved silver platter to NYK officials Kimio Miyaoka president of NYK Line and honored guest of an accompanying reception accepted the gift

NKY Lines history actually extends back to 1870 when Tsukumo Shokai was founded by Yataro Iwasaki This was the forerunner to NYK and to the entire Mitsubishi Group of Companies In 1875 Mitsubishi Mail Steamship Co MMSC as NYKs predecessor was then known
opened Japans first liner service from Yokohama to Shanghai Finally in 1885 MMSC and Kyodo Unyu a rival shipping company established by the government merged to form NYK The result

NYK proceeded to witness a series of peaks and valleys in its business yet it kept its feet planted firmly on the ground with a determination to succeed In 1893 it established its first longdistance overseas route and in 1896 its first route to the US In 1926 NYK Line merged with Toya Kisen Kaisha Oriental Steamship Co and developed into the worlds largest shipping company
Then came World War II which claimed 172 NYK vessels and 5312 of NYKs personnel Only 37 vessels were left and the Japanese shipping industry had lost most of its navigation rights
Yet NYK did not stow its sails In 1951 it reopened its first overseas trade route By 1955 the reconstructed line had resumed most of its services Progress continued with the 1964 merger with Mitsubishi Shipping A year later NYK Line regained its position as the worlds leading shipping company
NYK is now a line in good standing with the future They introduced Japan to the intermodal era with the countrys first sailing of a containership the Hakome Maru
Today NYK describes itself as an integrated transportation company offering related services such as warehousing distribution shipbuilding tugboats and computer services In addition to building fuelefficient bottoms the company strives to reduce labor costs In the late 1950s crew sizes ran about 54 Currently 15 NYK ships operate with crews of 18 or less
As NYK Line enters the year 1986 it utilizes its trials and successes as a foundation It thereby positions itself as a reliable line dedicated to efficient service to its shippers

A NEW VIEW FROM RIVER STREET
For many years the view across from Savannahs historic riverfront was the GKI drybreakbulk terminal Metroplex Properties intends to change all that The firm has purchased the 109acre tract from Combustion Engineering Inc parent company of Georgia Kaolin
Every developmental plan ever put forth has been dubbed ambitious but this one truly qualifies Included in the site plan are a research and development center hotel and convention complex and shops A number of residences are also incorporated into the master plan
The first phase of the project a 130000squarefoot high tech office building could be under construction shortly after the completion of the sixmonth planning cycle The completed project will represent an investment of over 100 million
Both singlefamily townhomes and apartments would be available with the emphasis on providing housing primarily for those working in offices on the site A boat shuttle would be made available to facilitate transportation for workers and residents alike
Company President John McCleskey said he is looking to entities such as local government and industrial solicitors to assist in populating the center Our focus
will be to bring in new companies to Savannah he said
Because of proximity to the restored River Street area visual appeal is being given a great deal of attention during the planning phase Brent Davis project architect promised that the buildings would be architecturally compatible with those across the river Pedestrian promenades and shops would give the site a feel similar to the River Street environs
Metroplex has carved out a niche for itself in the development of high tech properties The DeKalb Technology Center Gwinnett Business Park and Perimeter Place Business Park are examples of their successes in the Atlanta metro area This expertise borne of experience should help Metroplex realize its lofty hopes for its newest undertaking McCleskey summarized his companys hopes as well as those of his new local business partners I want to emphasize that this is a Savannah project to be developed for the use and benefit of industry commerce and tourism in Chatham County the port facilities and the City of Savannah
Site plans show that the 109acre site formerly occupied by Georgia Kaolin is in for a radical facelift

The Good News and the Bad
The transportation industry is at times blinded by the problems and struggles caused by recent deregulation George Nichols told the Atlanta Maritime Associations first meeting of its fiscal year
We mustnt lose sight of the fact that there are a lot more opportunities out there than there are problems the executive director of Georgia Ports Authority stated The problems are solvable the opportunities will pass you if you dont seize upon them
The dilemma is caused somewhat by the innovations within the industry such as the huge ships and the doublestack trains which are providing new ways to be competitive to make a sale or to make a buck Its not hard to make a sale but its hard to make a buck Nichols surmised He said it requires folks to think smarter What with transportation companies crossing intermodal lines Nichols said Its hard to tell whos who anymore
We mustnt lose sight of the fact that there are a lot more opportunities out there than there are problems GPA Executive Director Nichols charged his audience at the Atlanta Maritime Association

but hold on to your seats the better ones will survive
Nichols outlined opportunities which outweigh the problems for those in transportation throughout the southeast United States First there is Atlanta So many of us look to Atlanta as the economic center of the South and the transportation center of the South he said noting its growth toward the significance of Milwaukee You can draw a 300mile circumference around the latter city he said and encompass onethird of our gross national product
Atlanta is expected to achieve a similar designation if only due to its hinterland served Georgia is ranked sixth in international growth into the year 2000 Florida is ranked number one and Texas is number two All the states around us are close to the top ten We have a heck of a future ahead of us Nichols asserted
Saying that opportunities abound however does not imply that problems dont exist Nichols said certain issues need to be examined and supported by those in the maritime industry He mentioned two one regional and one national
Close to home the issue of spiraling labor costs needs addressing Theyre coming this year and theyre coming again next year They continue to go unabated Nichols explained He suggested that 1986 be a year of concessions noting that ocean rates must compete to beat the landbridge Its something you shouldnt turn your back to he charged his audience expounding the importance of keeping options viable and obtainable
On the national level user fees with a bill in each the US House and the US Senate are said by Nichols to be imminent Nichols predicted that we will see some exporters automatically out of the business if the fees are initiated They simply wont be competitive anymore he said
Finally Nichols called for a concerted effort from the southeast transportation industry wellrepresented by his AMA t audience We need to set forth a stronger initiative to sustain the economic viability of this region There are those who would take it away from us should we weaken

GPAs Donaldson Named to Hazardous Materials Council
John Donaldson Georgia Ports Authoritys manager of railroad and barge facilities will represent the port authority as a member of Georgias new Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Advisory Council HMERAC
The council passed Georgias General Assembly during its 1985 legislative session Tom Ramsey state representative and chairman of the council explained that the purpose of the factfinding council is to determine what we have in Georgia in terms of our ability to deal with the handling and transportation of hazardous materials
Ramsey further explained that the impetus for such a council began with the small fire and police departments mainly in rural areas Such entities he said are expected to deal with crisis situations yet are not trained in the specific area of haz
ardous materials
For example Ramsey noted a standard fourdigit number is located on all tank cars carrying hazardous materials If local authorities know about it they may turn to a corresponding guide for a description of the contents and recommended actions for various situations
While such information abounds it is not easily obtained by the authorities in less crowded areas Certainly the railroads have expertise but who will manage the situation until their people arrive Ramsey asked
He went on to say that it is comforting to know the private industries involved the ones with the expertise are willing and ready to help they simply need a channel for their resources
Therein lies the goal of the HMERAC Ramsey said the first objective is to gather
information highlighting the states strengths and weaknesses in dealing with hazardous materials Then the council can fill in the blanks including the dissemination of needed information recommendations to the Peace Officers Standards and Training Council and publicprivate mutual aid agreements
The HMERAC is composed of representatives of fire protection and safety services police services emergency medical services emergency management environmental protection the railroad and trucking industries the chemical industry the transportation industry the Georgia Ports Authority the Environmental Protection Section of the Department of Human Resources four atlarge members two members from the House of Representatives and two members from the Senate

STRIVES TO OPEN ITS TRADING DOORS
Koreas reforms are transforming the nations business climate from one of rigidity control and favoritism to one of fair competition and opportunity So says Hak Won Song consul general of the Republic of Korea
Addressing the fundamental misconception of Korea as a second Japan Song said that Koreas exports to the US last year were only onesixth those of Japan Secondly he explained that Korea has been opening its markets at a very rapid pace since 1981 further evidence that its second Japan image is false
Korea has taken several steps to open these trading doors To begin with the import liberalization ratio has increased from 69 percent in 1980 to 88 percent this year increasing the number of commodities able to be imported without prior approval Another step includes the elimination of preferential treatment for socalled strategic industries In addition to reducing nontariff import barriers Song
said the government has reduced tariff rates and cut tariff differentials among products Finally he added foreign investment policies have been liberalized
What remains is for US firms to exploit the new opportunitues emerging in Korea to the maximum potential Song said Japanese firms have developed commanding market shares and there is no reason why US firms cannot outsell their Japanese competitors in Korea Song said Korean expenditures on imports are expected to total 61 billion by 1990 and over 200 billion by the end of the century
Other opportunities exist in Koreanbased ventures which would combine American strengths in management and technology with Koreas efficient inexpensive labor and skill in manufacturing Joint ventures between US and Korean firms need not be located in Korea noted Song suggesting Southeast Asia and the Caribbean Basin as promising potentials Korean firms make ideal partners in such projects since they are often experienced in running overseas operations and are free of image problems in Third World countries he added
In short many new opportunities are emerging for greater economic relationships between our two countries Song summarized Through exports imports joint ventures subcontracting or technology sales Korean and American exporters manufacturers and investors will make a profit by working together

EXPANDS IN GEORGIA
DJ Powers Co a forwarderbroker that dates back to 1930 has opened two new offices in Georgia one in Brunswick and one in Dalton
The Brunswick office is the first fulltime fullservice such office in the city Sandy McCullough office manager for the new office said In the short length of time that weve been in the Brunswick we are extremely pleased and proud of the warm reception we have been given
Employed by DJ Powers for three years McCullough served first as a systems operator in data processing and later as an import specialist before her recent promotion She previously had been employed by Strachan Shipping Co of Savannah Previously a member of the Womens Transportation Club of Savannah she is currently forming a new chapter in Brunswick
DJ Powers has also turned to the west and acquired Simpson Export Service With this move they have placed themselves at the source of 30 percent of the worlds carpet production
Don Simpson has operated this company in Dalton since 1982 We have built a reputation for personalized quali
The Atlanta office of US Customs recently awarded a customhouse brokers license to USA Cargo Services Co an Atlanta firm which has been active in the export freight forwarding field since 1981
Begun by Richard Cope USA Cargo grew quickly Cope was the former operations manager for AJC International a large Atlanta trading firm He was soon joined by Bill Mordecai from US Lines and Myra Spencer from outside the industry Commodities handled by the trio quickly expanded from meat and poultry products to peanuts carpets textiles chemicals tires building materials and rice hull ash
In 1984 the firm attracted Lee Hardeman formerly a traffic specialist with Fleetguard Inc in Cookeville Tennessee Hardeman whose background includes a masters degree in transportation from the University of Tennessee and nine years of experience in the US Air Force immediately sat for and passed the rigorous customhouse brokers examination The granting of his license and his appointment as an officer of the company have allowed USA Cargo to become the newest member of the Atlanta custom
ty service to the carpet industry in the area of ocean export he stated As an office of DJ Powers we can now apply that same high standard of service to imports and air cargo
Simpson brings 13 years of experience in the exporting field to his new post A previous stint with a brokerforwarder gave him practical experience on the import side as well
The Dalton office is the firms fifth In addition to forwarding and brokerage DJ Powers offers services in the areas of bonding insurance and transportation consultancy all abetted by the latest in electronic document processing
house brokers community
The firms continued growth to its present staff of nine required a move to new quarters which were chosen at 1945 The Exchange just outside 1285 on the north side of Atlanta Spuming the decision of most other forwardersbrokers to locate near Customs and the airport USA Cargo chose instead to locate near the Atlanta offices of its major customers and most steamship lines
An additional benefit of its new location is the ability to attract talented employees who live on the north side of the city such as Norm Krueger who recently joined the firm to complement Hardeman in the import department His experience in the import field has been a valuable addition Cope said and the savings of 45 minutes in his commute time each way played a large part in his decision
Unique in having its own staff of messengers Cope said the company is able to deliver and retrieve documents from any point in the city more quickly and efficiently than its competitors who rely exclusively on the scheduled service of a local messenger

Washington is the culprit Daniel J Fox drew applause from the nineteenth annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference as he placed the blame for the woes of protectionism
This marketing executive from the Kerr Group was responding as a panelist to Attorney Thomas G Travis trade law expert who said the popular issue of protectionism does not hit the nail on the head We dont have free trade but controlled trade the debate is who will control it Travis asserted
He went on to say quotas and trade laws have been around since day one Our trade is not free and it has not been The situation in Congress must be viewed as such
Travis noted that two problems in the United States involve protectionism one related to imports and one related to exports The dollar isnt the only reason US exports are suffering he explained American exports are discriminated against by foreign trade restrictions The US has to be very aggressive in seeking to address those barriers he charged
Other restraints to US trade come from foreign imports Travis continued The Trade Act of 1974 gave some relief he said quickly adding that the statutes dont work The process is often too long for true economic relief and the president can change or ignore International Trade Commission recommendations I think
well see major overhaul of those laws he predicted
Trade restraints are somewhat balanced by trade initiatives Travis mentioned several trade initiatives including the Generalized System in Preferences the Caribbean Basin Initiative and the Israeli FreeTrade Agreement Effective Sept 1 1985 the latter was described by Travis as the most comprehensive and liberal in US trade Such preference schematics imply We believe in free trade but were willing to make deals Travis said
The panelists offered mixed emotions on protectionism Raymond Frias vice president of Far East imports for Barber Blue Sea said he has little quarrel that free trade is a myth He saw interference by law into trade as a failure He witnessed restrictions on auto imports which he said
Trade Conference panelists listened to Attorney Travis explain how the US doesnt have free trade but controlled trade From left to right panelists are Ronald Manning Daniel Fox Francis Phillips Eric Joiner and Raymond Frias James Newsome was far right the conference moderator
simply raised prices and shoe protection which he said did not result in a restored American industry despite intentions
Two other panelists concurred that government restriction is not a cureall for trade problems and suggested such an attitude currently exists in Washington Ronald L Manning international transportation manager at Mead Corp perceives US Congressmen to be freetrade minded Eric Joiner trading company executive expects minimum restrictions in the future This vice president of AJC International said he doubts the state department will do anything to hurt our trading allies
The European newsman Francis E Phillips didnt see things so clearly however From his experience as deputy editor at Containerisation International he has been impressed by the complexity of the issue He called upon the seemingly contradictory needs to deal on a casebycase basis yet with a consistent policy
Despite all the complexities and controversies surrounding protectionism Travis emphasized that our trade problems are not in a vacuum They are simultaneously economic macroeconomic and political problems The focus is on trade he noted partly because the democrats have seized upon the issue as a possible attentiongetter Hopefully this will result positively he concluded on an optimistic note

A new intermodal terminal now serves the Port of Chioggia the first of its kind in Italy The intermodal network is furthered by waterways linking Chioggia to Cremona and Mantova In addition the Veneta Coast Highway connects to Padua and Trieste
Bob Maynard sales representative in export marketing for Georgia Pacific has already shipped cargo via Landmarks Express Service and seems quite pleased The pros of the service include the port destinations that they offer he said No one else services Trieste with any frequency
Georgia Pacific is an exporter of lumber products Maynard said that Italy is a major destination for such cargo as furniture molding doors window frames and other housing materials With such an appropriate service Maynard said GP ex

On the river in the parks at the colleges on the docks the Savannah Jazz Festival 85 had music bopping in the air all week long Jazz greats especially Lionel Hampton Betty Carter and Chuck Wayne drew about 10000 to Forsyth Square for the finale
The city the businesses the musicians and music appreciators all joined together to bring the festival to fruition Headed by Lee Luckett president of the Coastal Jazz Association most events of the festival were free because local businesses colleges the City of Savannah and the Musicians Performance Trust underwrote them
Jazz is one of the few cultural art forms that generates money and business Luckett said justifying the widespread interest in the local business community She commended the Savannah Hospitality
Association which coordinated several food booths at Forsyth Square on the last evening
The festival consisted of 18 events around the city during the week Local bands demonstrated the expertise and magnitude of jazz in the Coastal Empire
Another index of the popularity of this Americanborn art form is the 350 members of the Coastal Jazz Association CJA was born some four years ago at a jazz appreciation course at Savannah State College It has promoted jam sessions and jazz concerts featuring such worldrenowned stars as Joe Newman Frank Wess Jimmy Knepper A1 Grey Buddy
The audience enjoyed itself as much as the performer Lionel Hampton above master of the vibraphone charmed everyone at the grand finale of Savannah Jazz Festival 85
Anchor Age
NovemberDecember 1985
Rich Woody Herman the Four Freshmen and Herbie Mann
Lionel Hampton was the star of this years festival Master of the vibraphone his mallets bounced on the notes as he bounced on the stage The audience could not sit still
Hampton started out in jazz playing the drums In 1930 Louis Armstrong suggested he play the vibraphones on their recording of Memories of You The man found his niche
While he still plays the skins sometimes and also the piano in a twofinger mallettype style unique to jazz with the vibraphones Hampton has made his magic mallets famous He has performed officially for Presidents Truman Eisenhower Kennedy Nixon Ford Carter and Reagan He has been awarded three Doctor of Music degrees from the universities of Allen Xavier and Pepperdine and has traveled around the
world including behind the Iron Curtain
Plans are already being made to develop a festival in 1986 as successful as this one It takes a lot of planning and a lot of funding Luckett said
Other events in the following year include The Jazzy Side of Christmas in December with a sneak preview in November for the younger high school students A brandnew concert series begins in February and the third annual Jazz by the Sea sends notes over the Wilmington River in July
CJA has plans for everincreasing promotion and presentation of jazz and jazzrelated activities in the coming months and years Luckett said As the Rodgers and Hammerstein song says Jazz is bustin out all over
Sam Gill and His Dixieland All Stars had the Capn Sam Riverboat bopping down the Savannah River

TOKAI
ROTATION
In seven years Hisao Hi Magakawa has become one of the more familiar port captains working the Port of Savannah His firm Tokai Line brings in an average of eight vessels a year to load clay In addition a sizable part of the cargo moves in bags which dictates longer than normal vessel visits
During Magakawas tenure one and a quarter million tons of kaolin have been loaded aboard Tokai bottoms in Savannah Most of the tonnage moved in bags with bulk comprising about a third of the total Recently socalled supersacks capable of carrying a metric ton apiece have become increasingly popular in the trade Adjusting to these
Hi Magakawa evidently plans to have a little more free time back in Japan Above he looks over his farewell gift while his successor Captain Ozawa left looks on
changes in shipping format are a major responsibility of the port captain who coordinates and monitors the loading of his companys vessels
Magakawa has been reassigned to his native Japan but he has passed the torch to his successor Captain Toshio Ozawa
To familiarize Ozawa with his new territory and duties the duo worked one vessel together Since that time Magakawa has left the country for his new post
Captain Ozawa inherits a fine working relationship between Tokai and the Port of Savannah attributable in no small part to Magakawas professionalism and positive outlook The farewell gathering in His honor evidenced the popularity he enjoys in the local maritime community
Once it seemed to take a ton of red tape and paperwork to move a ton of cargo somewhere in the world No more Using the latest communications technology we move that cargo smoothly and cost effectively Weve made molehills out of those paper peaks

are available to shippers
Again the Shipping Act of 1984 has opened doors in many directions giving shippers more opportunities than before Prior to the Act Uhrbrock said service contracts primarily benefited the steamship lines with high minimum volumes rate levels and penalty clauses These were certainly prohibitive to the shipper Uhrbrock stated
Do your homework shippers in the audience were charged Solid statistical information as background into such areas as origin countries trade lanes and tonnage patterns is invaluable in using the service contract to maximum advantage
Uhrbrock explained certain things it helps to know about service contracts Setting a feasible minimum volume is important to avoid penalty clauses Commodities must be carefully named to apply in differing situations Options are available such as the mostfavored shippercountry clause which ties contract rates to tariff rates This gives downside protection allowing a shipper to take advantage of falling rates
Who Benefits
We are now in a situation as opposed to a year ago that could be a benefit to both parties Uhrbrock said about service contracts explaining that a carrier benefits from the percentage of carrying guarantees and the shipper benefits by locking in attractive rates
Consortia work for the benefit of both parties also Many carriers point out that only through consortia have they been able to continue offering service at competitive prices van Nes concluded The carriers benefit by staying in business and the shippers benefit by costeffective services
I am convinced that todays types of cooperation among carriers will not prevent supply and demand from dictating market conditions Therefore there are more reasons to believe the shipper is one of the biggest beneficiaries of economic cooperation among carriers van Nes added as a final note
Norfolk Southerns Hunter sees similar benefits from the emergence of conglomerates Ultimately it will benefit shippers the most because it will mean faster more efficient and more competitive alternatives for getting the goods to the market
And that is the key to transportation in this day of deregulation Alternatives are changing and growing As the theme of the foreign trade conference implied a changed way of thinking is the secret 0
