PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
The completion of two new Georgia Ports Authority facilities reflects the continued growth of our prosperous southern rim The two features in this issue of AnchorAge focus on our new container berth five in Savannah and the first vessel to call our new bulk facility on Colonels Island in Brunswick
Each of these facilities was envisioned with certain trends as catalysts GPAs growing CONTAINERPORT and consistent recordbreaking volumes confirm a trend begun 10 years ago and that is load centering Todays successful status was dramatically influenced by the Staggers Act and the substantial deregulation of the trucking industry
The emergence of doublestack trains and the rush of many steamship lines to initiate links between ports and major inland transportation hubs gives renewed impetus to the evolvement of these load center patterns
The future of intermodal markets is further confirmed by the recent population census Forecasts predict aboveaverage growth in current southern population
centers with additional plant sites producing new products for these markets On page 31 Governor Harris reports an alltime high of 217 billion investment in new and expanded commercial and industrial development in Georgia Add to that over
500000 new jobs created in the past three years and you can see Georgia typifies the growth of the southern rim
Such growth has also been the motivation for the dry bulk facility at Colonels Island discussed on page 44 This terminal presents another segment of our strategic planning which has identified broader markets in this dynamic economy of our region The governor describes new plant sites which require numerous types of raw materials With continued expansion in our agricultural base modem and sophisticated bulk systems are needed to support the transportation of these imports and exports
What better location for a bulk facility than the Port of Brunswick strategically located between Georgia Florida and the other surrounding growth states in our region
This new export bulk facility at Colonels Island is located at a site with a capacity for four additional berths and hundreds of acres of backup area Endowed with flexible labor and a lowcost port infrastructure the resurgent Port of Brunswick offers lowcost shipping and transportation operations in a highly productive environment
These two new facilities container berth five and the bulk facility on Colonels Island plant the seeds for continued strong growth and development of our states port system

capacity For this reason the new units boast a 985foot lift above the dock Margins measuring 196 feet in width assure ease of access for yard jockeys
Several technical specifications remain the same All nine cranes are rated at 45 tons of lift capacity Unlike most container cranes each offers 113 feet of backreach behind the inshore leg This arrangement permits the crane operator to temporarily store containers for purposes of access and restowage without truck transfer to a temporary field location All in all specifications for the cranes reflect the sophistication of the South Atlantics leading load center
The 65acre storage yard at berth five continues the CONTAINERPORT tradition of favorable berthtobackup storage ratio The three new straddle cranes travel on rubber tires permitting them to work stacks anywhere in the CONTAINERPORT field All nine units are rated at 90000 pounds of capacity
Because the latest increment is located adjacent to berths one through four GPA can pass along to its customers the efficiencies resulting from a centralized operation Maximum use of the equipment fleet effective manpower scheduling and improved inventory and accountability are just a few
Container berth five now houses U S Lines massive load center operation The line handled over 15 million tons of cargo through Savannah in calendar year 1985 and was a prime factor in the decision to expand CONTAINERPORT
In 1974 Georgias first container berth was planned see artists rendering inset In 1985 the fifth berth at the South Atlantics highest volume container port was completed in Savannah right foreground
The pictures tell the story The growth of CONTAINERPORT in a mere 12 years has been nothing short of phenomenal Admittedly a late entrant in the container sweepstakes Savannah has grown to become the leading port on the South Atlantic in terms of container cargoes handled Tonnage records tell the story of course but facility expansions have been equally telling The opening of container berth five indicates that the graph continues to slope upward
When GPA creates a berth it doesnt just pour a slab of concrete and call it quits In addition to a conveniently wide 1000foot berth backed up by 36 percent more storage for containers the crane fleet has been increased by 50 percent See these and other statistics in box below
The three new cranes cut a slightly different profile Their outreach has been extended to 135 feet to facilitate operations on the largest containerships Second and third generation container vessels often utilize higher ondeck stacking to increase
Crane 7 was the first of the new three to come online Luckily so for container volumes were cutting new records and the extra handling capacity was essential

The first vessel to sail into the new container berth five was the Incotrans Speed which sails to Northern Europe
channeling of containers through two gates will improve truck turnaround and traffic flow for all boxes
Ninetyfour hookups for refrigerated containers have been added at berth five CONTAINERPORT now boasts a total of 270 such connections All are equipped with GPAdesigned ground fault monitors which preclude cargo loss and personnel hazard related to electrical failures
The final element in the frozen cargo lineup at CONTAINERPORT is a 68000squarefoot cold storage facility With a temperature range from 15 to 45 F the facility is ideally situated in the heart of container berth four This arrangement permits consolidation and distribution of lessthancontainerload lots of temperaturecontrolled goods for subsequent stuffing into reefer boxes
On the subject of stuffing 402800 square feet of stuffing and stripping sheds are available at CONTAINERPORT The four buildings can simultaneously accommodate over 300 truckscontainers
The COBRA electronic processing system makes sure that in Savannah the movement of a container is never blockaded by a piece of paper The network extends from Georgia Ports Authority throughout the maritime community and regulatory agencies Features include paperless entry electronic order entry and status checks daily activity reports and final release times consistently under two hours
Yearend figures show container cargo handled at 33 million tons an increase of 26 percent over 1984 Fiscal yeartodate numbers are running some 33 percent ahead As these numbers continue to skyrocket look for container berth six to be located adjacent to 5 in the future

Hanjin regards itself as the premier Korean carrier and has aspirations to become an aroundtheworld carrier This of course is the first step in the process These were the words Terry Vogl marketing manager used to describe his firms initiation of a Far EastU S
Atlantic Coast container service
The new rotation will be manned by six newly built ships Each of the diesel vessels offers a maximum capacity of 2668 TEUs Operating at a cruising speed of 22 knots they will be competitive with the fastest in the trade according to Hanjin officials
The sixship fleet will provide sailings every 10 days Their foreign itinerary reads Hong Kong Keelung Busan Kobe and Yokohama
Hanjin Container Lines has selected the Port of Savannah as its only South Atlantic port of call for its new Far EastAtlantic Coast service stated Hanjin president J Y No
Concept to reality The rendering above has been converted to reality in the form of the Hanjins New York and Long Beach Four sister ships will follow in rapid succession
Vogl added that the designation was made because Savannah is the premier load center on the South Atlantic
The first two of the six newbuilds are already at sea The Hanjin New York and Hanjin Long Beach will be joined by their four sisters this fall Names and delivery dates are Hanjin Yokohama March 24 Hanjin Kobe July 31 Hanjin Keelung August 31 and Hanjin Hong Kong September 30 All are being constructed in Japan at the Hitachi Shipyard
With the addition of the six new containerships the Hanj inowned fleet will expand to 13 vessels The firm boasts even more carrying capability in the form of spacechartering agreements with several of its fellow carriers The company has been in business since 1977

Hanjin Container Lines is one of 12 companies and two foundations in the multibilliondollar Hanjin Group headquartered in Seoul Korea Chaired by C H Cho the group has subsidiaries involved in air transportation Korean Air Lines trucking travel finance insurance construction mining and terminal operations as well as ocean carriage Hanjin provides weekly full and lessthancontainerload service between North America and the Far East countries of Korea Japan Taiwan and Hong Kong
Savannah ranks as the leading Far East trading port on the lower U S Atlantic Coast The presence of numerous distribution centers for goods imported from the Orient testifies to its popularity as a port of entry for these commodities
Such diversified import and export activity is the attraction for an impressive Far Eastern steamship lineup The presence of frequent competitive steamship service becomes in turn an enticement for even more shippers to use the port Hanjin Container Lines has provided a substantial boost to Savannahs cargo solicitation efforts

COLONIAL SAILS
Ocean transportation especially in bulk shipping is one of those cases where supply often outweighs demand As a result shipowners are looking for new ways to reduce operating costs the largest of which is fuel
There are many innovative options to minimize those operating costs while allowing the maintenance of a consistent service Colonial Navigation of Savannah leads on the forefront of one of the most exciting of these innovations the use of sails to assist the power of motor vessels
The Carib Alba a 3000ton drybulk vessel operated by Colonial was outfitted with two sails with a total area of 4500 square feet by Sail Freight International of Greenwich Connecticut The work took place at Sayler Marine in Savannah
Capt DC Anderson president of SFI has good things to say about his friends in Georgia Of Sayler Marine he said Those guys are great When I get another ship Im going back to them to do the work In addition he commended the Georgia Ports Authority folks in Brunswick for a certain thing called courtesy
The Carib Alba began her sailassisted service on July 3 1985 The sails were constructed with Aframe masts that
attach to the sides of the hold An officer on the bridge may control the sails automatically When not in use the sails are wrapped around the stays like a simple window shade
Such sails can be added onto most ships with the exception of containerships Anderson explained that sails would interfere with dockside handling operations In addition he added the economies of sail dont make sense for highspeed ships with highvalue products such as containerships
The Carib Alba however is a ship that can take full advantage of sails A decision was made whereby she uses the increased horsepower created by the sails for speed as opposed to a reduction in oil Anderson noted that in her first six months of operation she has been able to use the sails up to 50 percent of the time in the Caribbean trade John Demere president of Colonial Marine Industries pointed out that this increased speed may allow the ship to get to port quicker unload sooner and avoid costly delays
Anderson expects the utilization of the sails on the Carib Alba to improve He said that future ships in the Caribbean could expect to use sails 75 percent of the
time Some Japanese sailassisted vessels claim to use the sails 80 percent of the time in the North Pacific trade
There are three sources of savings realized by sails no matter where the vessel operates Anderson said the biggest one in terms of dollars saved is increased speed especially in heavy weather The sails not only hasten the vessel along but also help steady the vessels roll
The second largest saving comes from not running the engine at full RPM This allows the engine to run longer These numbers dont jump off the page like oil savings because they are harder to measure Anderson said Only the shipping company can place a value on its time and engines life
The third largest saving yet the easiest to recognize is that of oil savings Anderson explained a benchmark of one square meter of sail equaling one horsepower with an apparent wind of 15 knots The horsepower may be used in two ways for an increase in speed up to 15 percent or a decrease in oil consumption up to 33 percent
Anderson explained that few countries have utilized the sail technology for freighters Japan has operated 12 vessels

for over a fiveyear period giving them nearly 60 years of experience as opposed to his six months of experience Anderson warned that unless we get on our toes the United States will soon be buying wind propulsion technology from Japan The Carib Alba is the only sailequipped freighter operated out of the United States In addition Denmark has about 15 small freighters outfitted with the technology
SFIs expertise in this innovative field begins with an extended computer analysis of the vessel Anderson stresses that each project is ship specific in terms of the equipment necessary and the weather conditions in the particular trade routes The simulated computer model used by Sail Freight International determines the economic value of sails for that vessel in each route proposed
The next step is to design the system which is Andersons forte SFI installs the system and consultants are provided to operate and train the existing crew These consultants may be permanent or temporary depending on the needs of the operators Another option is to lease the equipment utilizing SFI employees
As an example Anderson spent the past several months on board the Carib Alba operating the system Anderson holds a masters degree in marine transportation from the New York Maritime College He earned his Captains license

by working up the ranks from ordinary seaman Receiving a Department of Energy grant Anderson was the first individual federally funded to study sail power for ships Since then his company has done work for private industry third world organizations and the United Nations
Sail Freight International is affiliated with Skaarup Ship Management giving the company a large pool of resources If you gave us six 20000ton ships we could handle it Anderson promised He noted that SFI is the only company in the world with a developed system to retrofit sails onto existing vessels
As 1986 begins SFI looks to the future with several ships on the drawing boards Two are 5000ton ships to work the United KingdomSurinam trade Another is a tanker which is described as the perfect type of vessel to take on sails Liquid cargo handling should not be hindered by sails as the pipes may simply be rerouted around the masts
Shipping companies today increasingly struggle with the high costs and competitiveness of their industry While sails might not be the answer for everyone they certainly make the difference for some
The sails are strategically placed on the Carib Alba to avoid hindering cargo handling such as this at GPAs Garden City Terminal

SUPPORTS CADET EDUCATION
A ship of Taiwanese maritime cadets sailed into Savannah the young men applying the principles of navigation they had learned in school
The Ever Trust a totally realistic climate which enables the cadets to corroborate what they see with what they learn in school is owned by Evergreen Captain Jan described the vessel as the most modern training vessel in the world
The ship flying the Republic of China flag is a 15000ton multipurpose drycargo vessel In 1983 she underwent remodeling in Japan and in March 1984 was complete For the students she offers cabins and classrooms for 200 an enormous dining room a workshop featuring a universal machine electric welder and tool grinder a library and a gymnasium complete with two PingPong tables two bicycle machines and a set of barbells
All of this is in addition to standard freighter equipment which aids in education The 497foot Ever Trust can carry 220 fortyfoot containers and travels at a service speed of 16 knots
On this particular voyage 141 cadets were on board They were split into two groups the departments of navigation and engineering The former deck cadets spend a year on the vessel The latter spend six months on deck and six months shoreside
All cadets have attended one of five colleges and universities Evergreen runs one called Tam Kang University where a former training ship captain is now professor and department head of navigation Three others are state schools and another is private All Tam Kung students join the Evergreen training ship while the others have allocated slots per school
At 35 the Ever Trusts Captain Jan is Evergreens youngest Gdass captain He has spent 7 years as captain in various vessel classes
Captain Jan explained Evergreens interest in training future seamen We train cadets in our own way based on Evergreen standards company policies and uniform equipment He said that 30 to 40 percent of the cadets will be chosen by Evergreen the others may go to other lines
Predictably Evergreen is the desired employer of many of the cadets Jack Kao deck cadet said he wishes to stay with Evergreen which he called the best
The Ever Trust carries 141 cadets In Savannah one cadet expressed his objective to be an Evergreen captain someday
All work and no play makes a dull cadet
company in Taiwan maybe in the world His goal is to be an Evergreen captain The stars in his eyes are the power the money the travel and what he believes is not too difficult a job
Kao who came from Taichun Taiwan attended the Evergreen university While on board the Ever Trust he said he has been involved in various deck operation activities including planning the route to be safe and economical line handling painting and other support exercises He will complete his training ship tour in July 1986

A NEW
COURSE
Whether you measure the impact in cargo throughput jobs or recognition International Auto Processings recent announcement is big news for the Port of Brunswick
IAP and Georgia Ports Authority have announced plans to construct an automobile processing plant at GPAs Colonels Island The complex will include a 60000squarefoot service facility 10000 square feet of office space and 50 acres of parking area
Construction commenced on January 1 This prompt startup was necessary to meet International Auto Processings tight schedule Our first shipment of cars is due in the spring of 1986 explained Company President W L McVeay
Vehicles will be handled across the existing dock at GPAs Colonels Island facility Only minor modifications to the dock were required This relatively low cost for waterside structures helped GPA put together a package which brought IAP to the bargaining table Cargo handling charges dockage fees and quick inexpensive access to target markets were other cost factors which accrued to Colonels Islands benefit
McVeay reports that International Auto Processing will process cars for a number of different manufacturers Both import and export movements will be handled By accepting vehicles from a number of different sources the company hopes to insulate itself against production or delivery problems related to a single producer This
IAP President WL McVeay expects cars to arrive on Colonels Island this spring
variety will also help push IAP to its ambitious throughput goals We expect to handle 150000 cars per year hopefully within two but certainly within three years McVeay said
The project will have a most positive impact on employment statistics for the Brunswick labor market At the outset some 60 employees will be drawn from the local workforce By the end of the threeyear buildup in activity McVeay expects that number to rise to 300
To enhance its competitiveness in the car
processing field IAP will build the most modem facility of its type according to Howard L Gable executive vice president and general manager A selfcontained decosmolining station will provide rapid removal of the protectant used for ocean transport of automobiles The firm hopes these and other technical advantages will permit high throughput rates thereby generating lower unit costs for their customers
International Auto Processings threeyear goals are not to be confused with its longterm objectives McVeay indicates that as car manufacturers become aware of the cost and market access advantages afforded by Colonels Island future expansion will become a distinct possibility In fact additional site availability on the island was a key factor in the final site selection
Both McVeay and Gable will be domiciled in Brunswick Assisting them in running the operation will be Senior Vice President Randy Nyberg
This spring automobiles will join dry bulks on the list of cargoes traversing Colonels Island Barely a month old the new terminal is already the subject of considerable interest among the shipping community A major advertising blitz will help but word of mouth will be the key in letting even more shippers know of its availability The open for business sign is out Watch the Passing Through section of this magazine for announcements of additional new movements

Haley
VISIBLE IN SAVANNAH
As the freighters wake cuts the moons reflection in the sea a man sits down to his IBM typewriter in one of the passenger cabins Its 1000 pm for this working man the equivalent of 800 am for most businesspeople the beginning of a work day
The man is Alex Haley best known for the book and TV miniseries Roots He will spend the rest of the night creating be it characters for his books or witty correspondence He travels on freighters to achieve his best work
There is no more quality time than each day spent on a freighter Haley says Thats when the writing comes out of me better
Haley caught a Mineral Shipping vessel the MV Patty in Savannah After taking on a load of kaolin clay the vessel embarked on a trip of approximately two weeks to Rotterdam From there she sailed back to Savannah
Haley says he has taken about 25 trips on freighters averaging about two trips a
year All of his voyages are booked with Freighter World Cruises Inc of Pasadena California FWC Vice President Mary LeBlanc says that 75 to 125 per day on a freighter compares with 200 to 400 on a cruise line vessel
Haley says he plans to book an aroundtheworld trip this summer Explaining that he will meet the vessel at various ports for short convenient trips he says he will let his friends use the two cabins when he cant The voyage around the world lasts about 135 days
About is a key word for freighter travel Haley says Due to delays from cargo loading weather hazards and other uncertainties schedules often change He advises freighter travelers above all to relax Haley describes such travelers as mainly retired married couples who enjoy traveling who have traveled a lot of other ways and finally discovered freighters and who dont care much for the swiftness of cruisers but instead like the quiet and solace of freighters
The most excitement is when a jigsaw puzzle is done he laughs
This solace and relaxation provides the perfect inspiration for Haleys writing Writers tend to be romantics he explains I enjoy the rain the trail of moonlight the atmosphere They feed your batteries
Haley typically works all night taking a break to walk the deck in the dark He describes a sense of communion with the stars as he enjoys the night air and feels the vibration of the ship underfoot If you stand quietly you can almost hear the hiss of the skin of the ship cutting through the water Its a holy time he says You become more aware of how little and puny you are and how large nature is Particularly creative people the more humble you are the better you do If you ever need a reminder the best place to go is a ship at sea at night
Haley further describes the inspirational evenings as the time when he talks to his characters On especially long trips he literally has conversations aloud as he did with Chicken George and Kunta Kinte for Roots You know then that the character is fully defined he notes
Haley says the majority of Roots was written on freighters His connection between the sea and writing was conceived while he served 20 years in the US Coast Guard He would write love letters for his mates sweethearts at a fee of 1 per letter
On his latest trip Haley worked to finish his book Henning Tennessee Another demand on his time is a newer book on Appalachia yet to be named In addition he says he carried 19 pieces of luggage onboard onethird of which was unanswered mail He is cochairman with Minnie Pearl of Tennessee Homecoming 86 a statewide celebration that certainly generates a lot of mail on its own
Haley maintains a high level of excitement for his various projects One of the latest is the book on Appalachia which he describes as a story about grandparents or more specifically about an old mountain grandfather raising a boy to be a mountain man Haley expresses a concern that one of the biggest losses in our

culture is that fewer children are exposed to grandparents These people not only offer us wisdom he says but they sprinkle stardust into our lives
Haley seems completely satisfied with his career If I could pick among everything that men do to earn a living I would pick what I do he says His advice to budding writers is to consider writing a book First learn to write well then decide what you write about He describes the satisfaction of having something in your head then getting into it and writing it having it published and then sitting on a movie set and seeing people as you had imagined them Thats creativity in its most beautiful form theres nothing more enriching or pleasing
Alex Haley and Captain Milan Popovic discuss the thrill of ocean voyages
He adds quickly that success is important in terms of selffulfillment Then the material tends to follow
Haley holds other concerns near his heart One is our countrys urban deterioration He tells of hearing several unemployed sitting around discussing potential minimumwage jobs Id do anything for that job one of them said what Haley
calls the litany of people who dropped out of high school He says that in inner cities we are permitting hundreds of thousands of people to be undereducated and undercultivated Everybody we permit to be undereducated hurts the US he says noting how easy it would have been for him to be in that situation were his father not educated

The Georgia delegation just back from the Ag China 85 exposition could be described as excited and successful Not only were important sales contacts made but contracts were actually signed and sealed during the event
Ag China 85 was designed to acquaint Chinese buyers with agricultural products available through US sources Included among the exhibitors were firms hawking everything from packaging machinery to irrigation systems refrigeration equipment to meat cutting edges

Why China George Berry commissioner of the Department of Industry and Trade explained We have renewed our commitment toward trade development in the State of Georgia by establishing a separate trade division A major thrust is to attend five major trade shows per year We thought Ag China would present Georgias products to one of the largest markets in the world Were very pleased with the results
Georgias Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas T Irvin joined the group in Beijing By the time their paths crossed Irvin had become something of an expert of Chinese agriculture He had just completed a weeklong swing through China on a governmentsponsored tour for southern agricultural interests
Irvin reports keen interest in US products among the Chinese Since the
Chinese staged the show it was obvious they were determined to make the most of it The main thing they were interested in was technology to achieve their major goal which was more protein food he explained
Citing opportunities in everything from breeding stock to processing equipment Irvin recalled one particular example In Canton theyre looking for dairy processing equipment Most milk sold now is raw milk As they try to streamline their dairy operation theyll need milking equipment storage tanks feed mills refrigerated tank trucks pasteurization equipment and the like
As the Chinese expand their economic horizons it is no surprise that they would look to the United States for solutions to the problem of feeding their tremendous population More specifically those states with a modern diversified ag industry can offer their expertise to this emerging giant states like Georgia

The aroundtheworld service also of

fers lastout service Only 21 days and Savannah cargo arrives in Auckland Other foreign ports of call for this service are Sydney Melbourne Fremantle the Mauritius Islands Livorno Barcelona and Cadiz
Our customers are demanding speed and frequency of delivery said AES President Claes Uggla Its something they must have with the just in rime on time inventory philosophy that importers and manufacturers are developing
AES officials explained that an increasing number of Australian importers are moving over to this JIT system where stockpiling of large quantities of expensive components is replaced by a continuous speedy flow with dependable delivery dates
AES is increasing its frequency and speed of delivery with its new service It is
chartering in three existing vessels for the Loop Service They are the AES Challenge AES Fearless and the AES Leader The vessels operating in the aroundtheworld service are the Nagara Cavara and Tavara

Christmas gettogethers are common in the transportation industry Maersk Lines recent function carried additional significance as the line simultaneously celebrated five years of service to the Port of Savannah
MaerskSavannah has not been resting on its laurels At inception the Middle East Container Line MECL as the service is known offered outbound service to the Red Sea and Persian Gulf and homebound service from the Mediterranean
The offerings are now quite a bit more substantial Spain Italy West Africa India and Pakistan have all been added to the eastbound rotation In addition import cargoes from India and Pakistan are now accepted on the return leg
Under Maersks new deployment strategy to provide sufficient service to the Middle East Container Line the Clifford Maersk will be replaced with a larger vessel early this year
The composition of the Maersk fleet reflects the expansion of MECL Five C class vessels were originally deployed to execute the service In 1986 the last two of these will be replaced by larger ships The Clifford Maersk and Christian Maersk will be replaced by the Anders and Dragor Maersks respectively The other members of the fivevessel fleet are the Arild Alva and Lica all carrying the same last name as their sister ships
Don Gale manager of Maersks local office thinks punctuality and reliability have been the key factors in the lines success equation We offer fixeddayoftheweek service every other Tuesday I think the shippers appreciate the predictability of our service its something we pride ourselves on he says He describes the holiday reception as an opportunity to express appreciation to Maersks customers and celebrate a successful half decade

Woodruff is in charge of the ILA payroll for Stevens A native Savannahian she said she works for the SWT A on a volunteer basis and has declined requests to serve as an officer I work but I dont want to be the head she explained
When Woodruff began working in the transportation arena there were no container facilities in Savannah The first were built in 1974 Now Savannah is listed by Lloyds as the eighth largest US port in terms of tonnage Obviously the port has seen some growth
Its definitely gotten bigger Woodruff agreed Youd be surprised at how much its grown

ADVOCACY
George didnt bore us with a lot of historical statistical information Instead he challenged us to get out and do what needs to be done These remarks by Propeller Club President Ernie Rubadue provided an excellent summary of George Nichols annual state of the port address
Reflecting on another record calendar year Nichols cautioned that the Port of Savannah can achieve its maximum potential only through the continued advocacy of its maritime sector He cited the current wave of protectionist sentiment as a genuine threat one which would inevitably lead to retaliation diminished trade and spiraling prices
The textile veto was only the first round The second round will come this
summer when Congress tries to override The real danger is that its politically unpopular to talk against protectionism Our economic structure is such that we can no longer shut down imports The technology and capital are not there to reinvent the wheel in many industries The upcoming round of ILAmanagement negotiations also requires intelligent input from throughout the transportation industry according to Nichols He called for contracts of the type in place on the US West Coast As containerization continues to grow gang sizes and work rules must be flexible if our port is to remain competitive he explained adding twentyfourhour container terminal operations will become mandatory and we need to look at shift differential pay as a way to minimize costs Nichols feels this flexibility is essential to retain the allwater service between the
US East Coast and the Far East
Receiving particular attention was the fourhour callout provision Nichols feels that national security considerations will cause the US to increasingly turn its economic attentions to Latin America and the Caribbean US trade with the region increased over 1 billion between 1983 and 1984 and the trend remains decidedly up Port dimensions and population in that area dictate that the trades are plied by smaller shallowdraught vessels These ships are characterized by short port visits and the existing eighthour callout makes it economically impossible to trade through affected ports
Nichols called for support on several harbor issues Harbor widening is needed not only to facilitate twoway traffic but to permit deepening to 42 feet the controlling depth at which all the container lines are now looking He cautioned
more than just warehousing

against loss of momentum on the Talmadge Bridge replacement noting that safety and traffic flow as well as cargo diversions were issues related to nonreplacement Further local interests must encourage the State of Georgia to roll over its share of bridge funding until the 56 million balance can be authorized at the federal level
Currently the state acts as local assurer for harbor maintenance and improvements Nichols indicated that this arrangement needs to be perpetuated to ensure that the harbor is maintained at project dimensions at all times
Turning to his crystal ball Nichols
pointed to several factors which bode well for Savannahs vitality He said Load centering will continue Were moving a lot more cargo with larger ships These require more landside services and development of an effective infrastructure to interface ship and land transportation
Nichols cited increased landbridging between Savannah and the Gulf Coast as evidence of the trend Shippers are seeing the benefits to be derived from our new doublestack service and it wont be the last Several lines have already committed traffic to the institution of a second train he added
Population projections for the
Southeast look positive As a result Nichols foresees the emergence of manufacturing origins and service industries to supply this new population Were in a position in the South Atlantic to take advantage of this trend he stated
Harbor maintenance improvements protectionism work rules these are just a few of the issues whose outcomes will hinge on the effective advocacy of shipping and transportation interests Nichols concluded by calling on his audience to guarantee the success of the Port of Savannah by making themselves heard on the critical issues which affect us
HARRIS
ANNOUNCES RECORD YEAR FOR EXPANSION
Capital investment in commercial development projects reached 217 billion in Georgia in 1985 Governor Joe Frank Harris has announced This past year was truly a landmark for economic expansion in Georgia said Harris The investment in new and expanded commercial and industrial development represents a 92 percent increase over 1984s total of 113 billion which was the previous high
Another record in 1985 was set in the total investment in new and expanded manufacturing facilities Harris continued For the first time announced capital investment in manufacturing facilities exceeded 2 billion he said Not only is the actual figure 21 billion the highest growth figure ever recorded for manufacturing investment in Georgia in one year but it is also 75 percent higher than the 13 billion reported in 1984 and 31 percent higher than the 16 billion reported in 1980 the previous record
Included in the total of new and expanded private developments are manufacturing facilities hotels motels office buildings and parks headquarters establishments shopping centers industrial parks multiuse complexes and residential developments
Nonmanufacturing projects accounted for 196 billion of the total with office buildings parks and multiuse complexes comprising 75 percent of the nonmanufacturing total
The record level of manufacturing investment was made possible in large measure by the announcement of the states first billiondollar plant the Fort Howard Paper Co now under construction in Effingham County near Savannah Other significant new manufacturing facilities with multimilliondollar capital investment totals include FritoLay in Perry Teledyne CAE in Gainesville and Mitsubishi Electric in Braselton
New plant investment totaled 13 billion compared to 240 million in
1984 and accounted for 63 percent of the total manufacturing figure Expansions reached 771 million for 37 percent of the total expenditure More than
12000 new jobs will be created by this manufacturing activity the governor pointed out
International or foreignowned firms invested a total of 3053 million in Georgia during 1985 including 137 million in new and expanded manufacturing facilities and 1683 million in nonmanufacturing facilities and acquisitions
Our aggressive pursuit of new business activity our probusiness attitude and our success at selling the Georgia story around the country and around the world are resulting in historymaking economic gains said Harris but all of these numbers and percentages are best understood when translated as jobs for Georgians a familiar refrain of my administration It is estimated that there have been over 500000 new jobs created in Georgia in the past three years

CCC BARGES
CONNECT SAVANNAH AND SAN JUAN
Sometimes shippers send their cargo through the port their favorite carrier uses Other times carriers will call a port because of the shippers preferences The latter is the case of Carolina Caribbean Carriers decision to begin service to Savannah
Carolina Caribbean Carriers a division of Carolina Steamship Inc is a container barge service linking the US East Coast with Puerto Rico Three 320TEU barges the Carolinas Challenger Courage and Conquest currently call the Port of Savannah with a monthly frequency Two tugs are chartered from Tidewater Marine of New Orleans the Elfante Grande and the Leopardo Grande
John Norcliff president of CCC said that there is a strong likelihood that the service will increase its frequency to once every two weeks in the near future If things keep going well he added weekly callings may occur by the years end
For the first time a container barge service linking Savannah with Puerto Rico offers a unique cost alternative to ocean shipping
Union Camp is the reason for the port call Norcliff explained The Savannahbased company sends paper products specifically linerboard and kraft paper to a corrugated container manufacturer in Puerto Rico Hiram Ware Union Camps director of purchasing and traffic noted that 1000 tons per month will travel on the container barges Ware said Union Camp guaranteed a minimum amount of cargo for CCC in support of the carrier calling Savannah
Ware further explained that after utilizing the first two sailings of CCC Union Camp realized extra savings By stuffing the containers at Georgia Ports Authoritys Garden City Terminal they avoid drayage on public roads Therefore they may ship more cargo per container up to 5 tons extra
Norcliff said he expects to load 120 TEUs each month in Savannah In addition he explained that automobiles
will be imported two per container on the inbound calls The first shipment in January brought 120 cars mostly Mazdas and Hondas Norcliff said He said similar movements in the future will depend on the market
Barges offer special advantages to ocean transportation Norcliff said They are extremely economical because the tugs bum less fuel than freighters Tugs and barges are also 50 percent cheaper to charter he added
Savannah enjoys a firstin advantage from the new service US import cargo may utilize a minimum transit time through the farthest inland East Coast port From Savannah Carolina Caribbean calls the midAtlantic and then swings down to San Juan Puerto Rico to deliver the paper products

The various ingredients come from all over the Southeast with the majority being produced in Georgia Marine Port Terminals is responsible for the stevedoring and bagging Lynn Gaskins MPT vice president of operations and maintenance
estimated that 90 percent of the inland transportation is by rail and 10 percent moves by truck
Gaskins further explained that normally the feeds move bulk The dogfood concentrate however was shipped in bags One hundred short tons were bagged into oneton supersacks More often the feeds are bagged into 50kilo 110 pound polybags These are organized into slings of 35 bags bound by a net constraint Six slings totaling 12 tons are lifted simultaneously by the Georgia Ports Authority gantry crane Gaskins added that such a shipment consisted of 35000 tons of poultry feed leaving Brunswick recently for Iraq
These shipments of animal feed traditionally go to the Caribbean and South Central America Bills of lading often refer to Trinidad as did the dog food shipment and Surinam as destinations The shrimp feed went to Panama Regular shipments also arrive in Greece and Egypt
Animal feed is an appetizing business in Brunswick Every month at least 10000 metric tons of poultry and livestock feed are exported through the South Georgia port Two more variations were added when the first two shipments of dog food concentrate and shrimp feed were loaded onto one of three vessels owned by Colonial Navigation
Mid South Feeds operates the Caribs Alba Eve and Dawn with a twice monthly frequency to Brunswick Mid South Feeds has quite a stake at Brunswick where it operates a unique feed mill on Georgia Ports Authority property Boasting a capacity of 2000 tons per day Mid South Feeds combines various ingredients for the different feeds concentrates and blends
Elton Chapman president of Mid South Feeds said that all animal feeds are basically grains in different formulations The combinations are based on the animals needs which are determined by qualified nutritionists on the staff The

In the 1800s and early 1900s timber and finished lumber comprised a significant portion of the cargo listings for the Port of Brunswick More recently while forest products maintain their importance to the Brunswick port economy the emphasis has shifted away from lumber to woodpulp and linerboard
The MY Clipper Tiger has changed all that in two ways First her recent delivery of 275 million board feet put lumber back on the Brunswick docks Secondly the cargo was of the import variety as opposed to the more traditional outbound variety
The cargo originated in Vancouver British Columbia and was ultimately destined for distribution and sales on the South Atlantic Coast
It was appropriate that Brunswicks reentry into the lumber trade was made possible by a vessel on its maiden voyage The Clipper Tiger is a Panamanianregistered bottom measuring 404 feet She displaces 12249 deadweight tons across a 66foot beam Built in 1985 she is equipped with four 25ton swinging derricks which were ideally configured for discharging the lumber cargo stowed both on deck and in all three of the vessels hatches
The Clipper Tiger is on longterm time
charter to Armada Shipping of Houston Texas Brunswick was the first US port of call for the ship
Marine Port Terminals stevedored the vessel during its Brunswick stopover Bill Prendergast manager of Brunswick Ship Agency indicated that similar shipments are on the books in the near future In the next few months comparable volume movements should occur roughly on a semimonthly basis according to Prendergast He describes these as trial shipments to determine Brunswicks suitability as a lumber transportation center
History certainly suggests that Brunswick is an adept lumber handler Port cost and distribution factors must be competitive if the port is to experience projected growth patterns The final ingredient will of course be handling efficiency as well as cost factors With modem vessels like the Clipper Tiger a spacious new dedicated breakbulk facility like Mayors Point Terminal and eager labor the Port of Brunswick will pass the test with flying colors
New on new The MV Clipper Tiger on her maiden voyage called the equally new Mayors Point Terminal to discharge her cargo of nearly 3 million board feet of lumber
Mayors Point Terminal was the site of the Port of Brunswicks reentry into the lumber handling business

CHINA KAT
BREAKS BARRIERS
The story of Construction Tractors Ltd is one of a shipper a carrier and a port coming together to ultimately benefit the US consuming public
CTL imports Chinabuilt equipment A shipment of four forklifts stuffed into eight crates was recently discharged in Savannah from the MV Barber Perseus Another shipment of six arrived in January EL Mobley was the freight forwarder The equipment manufactured by seven Chinese factories will boast the China Kat logo
The cargos destination was CTLs distribution center in Winder Georgia Winder is located in North Georgia between Atlanta and Athens From there the equipment will be distributed to various dealers throughout the United States
The cargo enjoys a unique transport situation Barber Blue Sea has been a tremendous help to us said Dick Zelley CTLs import manager He explained that the cargo is consigned to Barbers agent in Hong Kong abbreviated Barwil
This gives them CTL greater control from origin to destination noted David Smith sales representative for BBS He explained that normally the Chinese government handles export traffic feedering cargo to Hong Kong and booking it on the first available vessel Often the importer will have to rely on a vessel arrival notice instead of prior notice so important to planning
By consigning the cargo to Barwil CTL skips such a headache This allows Construction Tractors to know which line and which vessel the cargo will arrive on Smith asserted
Zelley explained another factor that added to the benefits of Barber Blue Sea The Barber Blue Sea Hong Kong agent travels to China once a month he said As a result the communications on whats shipped on what is 100 percent better than normal He went on to say Any port that we go to in the Far East the
CHIIMAKAT
A variety of imported equipment including forklifts and bulldozers will wear the China Kat logo
Barber man is standing there its a true fullservice shipping company
Zelley said Robert Whiddon president of CTL and he are planning a trip to China early this year to set up more shipments While he said he will nail down expected quantities on that trip he did give a hopeful prediction of 1500 Chinese units per year by 1987
In addition to forklifts CTL imports a variety of Chinese equipment including rubbertired loaders and bulldozers Their equipment is available with Chinese engines Japanese Isuzu engines and US Cummins and Caterpillar engines He added that most of their imports have Chinese engines All equipment will wear the new China Kat logo Ive never been so enthused Zelley exclaimed of his gangbusters logo which was designed by a member of the Georgia Tech faculty in Atlanta m

MiniVan Power Comes Through Savannah
Chrysler Corp has diverted 100 percent of its shipment of Mitsubishi 26 liter engines for Minivans to Savannah Three thousand containers are expected to move annually Previously the Japanese engines were shipped to the West Coast and then railed to the companys plant in Windsor Ontario
Taking advantage of the first US East Coast port of call benefit offered by US Lines Chrysler Supervisor Mel Suokas explained that the lines aroundtheworld service provided the best total East Coast transit time 30 days This firstin advantage enjoyed by the Port of Savannah results in faster transit times to Windsor than if the cargo were discharged at a North Atlantic port in this instance
Suokas who is in charge of bookings and claims said that Chrysler had conducted a trial of the US LinesSavannah combination in the summer of 1985 Ten percent of the cargo was diverted at that time The results were persuasive and the cargo was totally diverted in the late fall
Suokas said he expects this arrangement to continue through the 1986 calendar year at least
US Lines provides a through bill of lading to Windsor Norfolk Southern carries the cargo to Detroit where it is offloaded and trucked across the river Windsor is located directly across the Detroit River from the City of Detroit
Operating two shifts this Canadian Chrysler plant turns out about 1000 Minivans per day Suokas said that about 80 percent of these vehicles receive Mitsubishi engines Manufactured in Kyoto Japan these engines are delivered to the Port of Kobe for loading onto one of US Lines containerships Measuring 950 feet long and carrying over 2200 fortyfoot containers these vessels are the largest containerships in the world
The automatic welding system at Chrysler Corps Windsor Assembly Plant uses computercontrolled robots to ensure a consistent fit for all body openings on the Minivans

Boiler Part
Hot Cargo for GPA
A huge capsule with wild protusions floated in the darkness over Savannahs docks recently Lifted by cables dangling from a container crane attachment the cargo was a steam drum for a recovery boiler
What in the world is a recovery boiler
A look at Georgias largest export group forest products might give a hint A recovery boiler is used in the process of making wood pulp The main function of the recovery boiler is to recover chemicals from black liquor which is returned to the process Another function is steam generation And this is where our cargo fits in
This particular steam drum was bound for Willamette Industries Kentucky Mills Division in Hawesville Kentucky Manufacture of the equipment was subcontracted by Ahlstrom Corp to VoestAlpine in Linz Austria The cargo was loaded onto the MV Incotrans Speed in Bremerhaven
Upon arrival at Savannahs CONTAINERPORT the cargo which measured 356 long by 75 wide and 8T0 high was discharged directly onto a 30wheeled truck belonging to McGil Trucking Co The cargo was special to Georgia Ports Authority because it weighed 515 tons which stretched the capacity of the container crane normally lifting only 45 tons maximum
Steve Collum superintendent of CONTAINERPORT cranes explained how that was possible Part of the equipment

AnchorAge

used for the transport of containers is the spreader which hooks into the boxes comers The spreader weighs 10 tons To lift cargo heavier than 45 tons the spreader is swapped for a hook beam which weighs 25 tons This gives Georgia Ports Authority a 75ton flexibility for heavier cargoes
Ken Petree traffic manager for Willamette Industries said that other parts for the recovery boiler are being imported This particular piece however had fallen behind schedule The company then looked for the first ship leaving the closest port which was the Inco Speed They chose to have the cargo discharged at the first US port of call for that vessel and that was Savannah
Petree commended Georgia Ports Authority for its very concerned people who he said worked well with him He added that Georgias roads were very good for inland transportation
FW Myers was the customhouse broker for this move and Eller Co was the stevedore Biehl Co is the agent for Hapag Lloyd which was the listed carrier for the cargo Hapag Lloyd is in a consortium with Incotrans and CGM The Inco Speed is an Incotrans vessel yet shares space with both Hapag Lloyd and CGM as do all five vessels in the consortium
Night operations filled the bill for discharge of a steam drum bound for a paper plant in Hawesville Kentucky
A variety of oversized and normally awkwardtomove cargoes are easily accommodated at Georgia Ports Authority In this case a US Lines jumbo containership the American Nebraska unloads a US reconnaisance plane using GPAs container crane augmented with special heavylift equipment

A 600toncapacity surge bin assures uninterrupted vessel loading
mzmam
With the loading of 7000 short tons of crushed granite the Colonels Island dry bulk facility has officially become operational The 35 million undertaking took about two years to complete
The cargo was destined for the Bahamas where it will be used as aggregate for road construction The shipper was Vulcan Materials The granite was loaded aboard the barge Madaket which was towed to the Caribbean by the oceangoing tug the Warrior Resolve Towage and Storage operates both Stevedoring was handled by Marine Port Terminals while Brunswick Ship Agency represented Resolve locally
The bottom line on the new terminal is a throughput capability of up to 2000 tons per hour This impressive handling rate extends across a wide range of grains and minerals While many highspeed bulk terminals are dedicated to specific commodities Colonels Island truly merits the description multiproduct
The first step in the export process is of course receipt of product from domestic suppliers On the rail side the new terminal is served by a 600car storage yard In addition each of two loop tracks circling the storage building can accommodate an entire unit train the prime transportation mode for high volume shipments of dry bulks
When it comes time to empty hopper cars they are shuttled to the unloading stations by the Georgia Ports Authority owned and operated Colonels Island Railroad There are two dual railcar unloaders each capable of dumping two jumbo railcars at a time They combine to empty up to 4500 tons per hour
The two pits are separated to isolate edible and inorganic materials from corrosives and noncontaminables Pit one will handle bauxite sand Fullers Earth leucoxene feeds glutens peanuts sugar com soybeans meals wheat and other similar products On the other side of the wall phosphate rock urea prills ammonium phosphate and dicalcium phosphate will traverse the second railcar unloading station
Truck deliveries have also been well provided for A tiltramp dump station will accept loads up to 60 tons per truck
Once material enters the system the conveyor arrangements permit a number of different product paths Cargo can be transferred direct to the shiploader or into
The first movement through the Colonels Island dry bulk facility involved the loading of crushed granite aboard a Bahamasbound barge
the flat storage building One commodity can be unloaded for delivery to the warehouse at the same time another is being reclaimed for export loading aboard a vessel Simultaneous ship loading from both flat storage and the dump stations is also possible
Flat storage takes the form of a 135000squarefoot building separated into six bays A dustproof divider provides further segregation of edibles and nonedibles Cargo enters the building on a conveyor running just beneath its apex From there it reaches the storage stack through telescoping spouts that remain near the top of the pile to minimize cargo degradation and dusting
Its ship loading time and the task of retrieving the cargo for delivery to the dock falls to a sophisticated scraperreclaimer The device utilizes a series of blades to pull the cargo from the pile onto a conveyor bound for the transfer tower There a 600toncapacity surge bin accumulates enough product to permit uninterrupted loading for up to 15 minutes This arrangement enables the shiploader to continue smooth filling of a hatch regardless of breaks in reclaiming or railcar unloading

A massive reclaimer retrieves product in the 135000squarefoot storage building for delivery to the dock
The railmounted shiploader traverses the length of the 580foot dock Add the ability to telescope out to 94 feet and you have a system which can access every comer of a hold without shifting the vessel A spoon mounted on the end of the spout permits loading up under hatch coamings assuring a level fill in every nook and cranny
Loop tracks accommodate the lengthy unit trains common to dry bulk shipping
Dry bulks of any kind may utilize 135000 square feet of storage space
AnchorAge
Like everything else these days the facility utilizes the computer to optimize its operation The system is operated from two color terminals in the control tower From here operational commands for the entire facility are input In addition computer sensors throughout the complex monitor all points along the system to assure that everything is flowing as programmed From his elevated glassenclosed vantage point the operator can visually confirm that his commands are being executed as entered
Environmental safeguards are apparent throughout the Colonels Island dry bulk facility All transfer points are enclosed and equipped with dust collection systems Captured material is returned to the conveyor system minimizing cargo loss during handling which makes the process as efficient as it is clean
Up to 15 million tons annually can be handled through the new terminal Georgia Ports Authority is convinced that this level will be attained quickly and that further development of the Colonels Island complex is a shortterm proposal Witness the fact that rail and unloading systems already in place will accommodate up to five more storage buildings identical to the
first Space for these has been provided within the loop tracks and facility design permits easy extension of conveyor systems to serve additional structures Location facilities infrastructure and small port cost and service will combine to make incremental construction an ongoing process on Colonels Island

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
For the past several years it seems the blame for virtually every US economic woe was laid at the feet of the strong dollar With relative currency values returning to more traditional levels well now be able to see exactly how much of the problem lay in this area Early indications are quite a bit
We in the international trade sector should be grateful for the administrations persistence against protectionism during these shaky economic times History has shown erection of artificial trade barriers for shortterm results to have disastrous implications for world commerce While a few isolated imbalances may be the result of policy inequities most require entrepreneurial rather than regulatory remedies The wisdom in Reagans refusal to give in to protectionist pressure is evidenced by what is now taking place in the world marketplace
With the dollars downward trend these are ideal times for the American businessman to move quickly back into the export arena Traders will find that many of our traditional exports once again enjoy competitive pricing In addition the time is ripe for the introduction of new products and commodities to world markets
A note of caution however We must avoid the temptation to convert the improved currency picture into easy profits Rather we must use it to improve
the competitive position of our products while maintaining a reasonable profit margin We are not going to get well from three bad years overnight
The southern United States is emerging from the economic doldrums with renewed vitality As the growth center of the nation the region is experiencing increases in both population and manufacturing origins Many of these plants are sources of new export cargoes which are finding price and quality acceptance in the international marketplace
Equally important to the region is Georgias ability to expedite the movement of outbound cargoes The Port of Savannah has emerged to become the leading overall cargo and container handling port in the US South Atlantic Dedicated international trains move to and from Atlanta on a daily basis The only doublestack container service on the South Atlantic range connects Savannah with the Gulf of Mexico and a second such train is expected to enter service in the near future A deregulated trucking industry provides unparalleled motor carrier service to Savannah Brunswick and our river terminals at Bainbridge and Columbus
Population manufacturing centers port and inland facilities and services all of these combine to make Georgia a certifiable transportation center Two major annual events make the state a center for transportation education as well
The Georgia Foreign Trade Conference and the International Intermodal Expo keep the shipper and transportation professional up to date with the latest in service in technology
A quick glance at the speaker lineup reveals that these programs are by no means provincial The credentials of the panelists indicate the prestige both events have obtained With a combined attendance well over 2000 the two events attract the elite of shipping and transportation sectors to learn from a cast of industry leaders and from each other

iis dawn arrives the mist on the river thickens and rises then disappears as the sun stretches over the horizon The barges sit tranquil their steelstrong threeinch ropes holding them tight to the sleepy docks As the sun rises higher the crane operators and forklift drivers shift from automobile to machinery and begin another day at work Almost any moment and without warning except for a subtle ripple on the water a tow of barges may round the bend enroute to the port if youre lucky For these days the volume of US barge operations have practically reached a standstill In some trades the volumes are actually declining
The barge industry is seen by some as an indicator of Americas economic health In a CBS news report on the Mississippi River Economist Anson Eickhorst said that in his opinion as the barge industry goes so goes the country
This is not encouraging news by any means In 1985 almost 90 towboat operators went out of business One of the largest barge lines on the Mississippi CLC of America Inc filed for reorganization under Chapter XI of the Federal Bankruptcy Code this past January
What is upsetting the barge industry Harry Cook president of the National Waterways Conference points to the basis
of the American economy The barge industry is in difficulty today primarily because of what is happening to the farming mining refining manufacturing processing and related sectors which are experiencing a prolonged economic slump
No doubt anyone involved in commerce is familiar with the structural economic problems our country is now facing These include the massive Federal deficit a hot US dollar in foreign exchanges huge negative balances in our international trade and resulting lost markets
To the tugboat operators detriment excess equipment has compounded the
A
v
problem The Maritime Act of 1933 was revised in the early 1970s to include shipping on inland waterways meaning the government would guarantee loans used to build barges After responding to the encouragement to build barges operators must now face a barge fleet that is occupied only onefourth of the time according to Cook This overproduction has resulted in depressed barge rates often to belowcost levels
It is these starvation rates coupled with the dropoff in projected commerce which have led to wholesale bankruptcies throughout the waterways industry not just among barge lines but also including inland shipyards terminals midstream services barge management firms fleeting areas and marine insurance
Some wonder if this signals a demise of the towboat era like Mark Twains steamboat era a century ago But Cook says that the waterways industry may be down but it is not out He paraphrased Mark Twain saying the reports of its demise are somewhat exaggerated
The Good News
There are some bright spots One of them is the AppalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint River System leading from the Gulf through Florida and into Georgia and Alabama In early 1984 a strategic rock relocation project in Florida opened up the channel while pleasing the biologists with a new fish sancturary This project allowed the US Army Corps of Engineers to guarantee a ninefoot channel 90 percent of the time

Tonnage on the TriRivers is evidence of the success of the rock relocation
Unofficial figures of the TRWDA show 1985 as a recordsetting year A total of 1237724 tons of commercial shipping occurred according to H Baxter Harcourt president of TRWDA This represented an increase of 26274 tons and was the second straight year that tonnage exceeded one million tons
Likewise the Georgia Ports Authority has also witnessed an increase in volume at their two ports in Bainbridge and Columbus Together activity at these facilities has increased from 53848 tons in 1983 a year before the rock relocation to 89322 tons in 1984 and finally 174651 in
1985 Last years increase represented a 955 percent growth quite a change from the national trend of stagnation Projections from the Corps of Engineers call for 1825 million tons to move in 1990 3085 million tons in 2010 and 4365 million tons in 2030

WATERWAY SYSTEM
The US inland waterways system consists of 25543 miles of navigable inland and intracoastal waterways serving 87 percent of major US cites according to the American Waterways Operators Inc The Tri Rivers Systems hinterland extends up the Mississippi River which is connected by the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway
The AppalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint River System travels from the Gulf of Mexico through Florida to Georgia and Alabama
Healty Facilities
Willing and able to handle their share of these tons on the Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers respectively are the Ports of Bainbridge and Columbus Georgia
Mainly fostering the transportation of dry bulk cargoes Bainbridge provides 400 lineal feet of berthing 12000 square feet of transit shed and 87000 square feet of warehousing A ramp services deck loading or rollonrolloff traffic and a mobile 35ton crane may be accessorized to handle a wide range of cargoes Served by CSX Transportation over 20 truck lines and nine towboatbarge operators the Port of Bainbridge is located 128 miles from the Gulf of Mexico and 40 miles from Tallahassee Florida
Columbus facilities include a 187000barrel tank farm operated by ST Services A 400foot berth is backed up by 27317 square feet of warehouse space for breakbulk cargoes Served by both Norfolk Southern Railway and CSX Transportation 35 motor carriers and nine towboatbarge operators the port is only 122 miles from Atlanta and 256 miles to the Gulf

Both facilities are supported by a variety of materialhandling equipment Both may be reached by a ninefootdeep 100footwide channel Both also offer modem industrial sites adjoining the dock with paved roads rail service electric power gas fire and police protection in place
Active Customers Six ports operate on the TriRivers System Bainbridge and Columbus in Georgia Phenix City Eufaula and Columbia in Alabama and Sneads
Florida Together their cargo mix according to TRWDA is as follows
Clay Sand and Gravel 42 percent
Fertilizer 16 percent
Fuels and Oils 16 percent
Chemicals 11 percent
Coal Ore and Phosphate 7 percent
Agricultural Products 6 percent
In Columbus liquid caustic soda was
the main cargo with 16715 tons moving during fiscal year 1985 ended June 30
Lon Burris vice president of purchasing and traffic for Burris Chemical Co said that his company ships liquid caustic soda which originates at various Louisiana plants and travels via the Mississippi River to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and then the TriRivers System Final destinations are various textile chemical pulp and paper mills in the Southeast These are served by Burris sunbelt plants in Lanett Alabama Atlanta and Valdosta and Augusta Georgia
Columbus is a good central point to serve Georgia and eastern Alabama Burris said
The main cargo category moving at Bainbridge is fertilizer materials 87468 tons in FY85 This includes anhydrous ammonia and nitrogen sulfate both liquid cargoes Second on the list is com followed closely by salt and oats
Joe Heimes manager of supply and distribution for Kaiser Agricultural Chemicals Co noted that barging is the most economical mode of transportation followed by rail and then trucks He added that in terms of time to speed the order is the opposite But you can eliminate an awful lot of truck and rail by planning your shipment so they come in when you need them he noted
The Port of Bainbridge moving cargo since 1957 is Georgias oldest inland port
Anchor Age
Kaiser ships anhydrous ammonia urea and potash through Bainbridge With over 15 years of experience at Bainbridge Kaiser is located only one block away from the GPA facilities and has a direct pipeline installed at the docks
Heimes recognized the improvements realized by the rock relocation For many years the only thing we handled through Bainbridge was anhydrous ammonia
When the river was widened and deepened it became economical for us to bring dry materials up
The Morton Salt Division of Morton Thiokol Corp also recognizes the advantages of barging Southeast US cargoes through Bainbridge Lance Kelly supervisor of salt scheduling and stockpiling agreed that the economies of barges are far better than rail perhaps half of railroad freight He explained that his company ships southern rock salt from Weeks Island Louisiana to their distribution facility in Bainbridge
Southern rock salt has a higher sodium chloride content than other grades and is used mainly for water conditioning
No matter what the cargo low cost is the key of barge transportation Traffic in two directions is the best bet for your money when figuring barge rates If cargo only goes one direction the rate per ton will be higher to cover the return leg Agricol Georgia Inc shipper of various agricultural materials has found a good trade for Bainbridge The TriRivers System works very well on some
ingredients For instance soybeans over to the Gulf is a good move and of course oats back is a natural explained Agricol Executive Mattox Ward
Barge Traffic Prescription for Development
Every ton of soybeans or salt or caustic soda or anything translates into jobs and taxes for the region In addition the more tons moving the lower the rates will fall An accompanying effect is the lowered truck and rail rates competing with those of the barges
A BoozAllen Hamilton study determined that about 16 million tons of local commodities in the TriRivers area now transported by rail or truck could move by barge If the river system captured all the 16 million tons the resulting reduction in regional transportation costs would create 1800 new jobs 30 million of personal income and 26 million of state and local taxes in the AppalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint region
In addition traffic from existing local firms is projected to reach a maximum of five million tons by the year 2000 reducing river operating and maintenance costs by 765 percent Finally if a marketing and industrial development program proposed by BAH were successfully undertaken nearly 10000 jobs could be generated which would result in 300 million in annual personal income and 15 million in state and local taxes
As the sun sets on Bainbridge some wonder if a new era is imminent for the inland waterways industry
These advantages would be shared by the 32 counties in the AppalachicolaChattahoocheeFlint region
Any Remedy
While there is not much an individual can do to correct the aforementioned ailments of the federal economy there are worthwhile exercises for those in the waterways industry Positions can be taken on current actions at the legislative level
The effects of proposed inland waterway user fees demand attention After intending a 100 percent navigation cost recovery Congress agreed such a move was going too far and too fast The White House has scaled back its recovery objective to the range of 60 to 70 percent A compromise appears to have the blessing of the White House and the Congress as well as the port and waterways industry the National Waterways Conferences Cook said Bill 1567 with all of its accompanying addendums should be signed by the Senate by the end of April
Cook explained to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials that the agreement includes the authorization of several coastal port improvements and inland lockanddam replacements In return waterway and port users would share in the cost of the navigation program
Cook noted other issues of significance to the waterway industry which include infrastructure improvements continued availability of taxfree industrial development bonds and better intermodal planning and coordination
In a way the navigation system is a delicate mechanism In the weak economy that we are experiencing today the ports and waterways need extra care and attention They dont need any strong medicine But as the pulse of the national economy begins to pick up the ports and waterways will revive Cook predicts
They will awaken much as sleeping giants ready to work for states and regions generating jobs and tax revenues and better times for us all

MuseumOwner Virginia Kiah
Virginia Kiah is the epitome of Savannah hospitality Her home is a fascinating museum complete with an exotic bird in the kitchen and large tropical fish in the bath
Kiah is founder and curator of the Kiah Museum on 36th Street in the heart of Savannah Housing a collection of art work antiques and fossils the museum itself incorporates parts of 11 Savannah buildings One might notice a ceding medallion from a historic chapel in the open twostory front room which came from the nurses chapel on the grounds of the Cathedral of St John The Baptist Other buildings represented include the Odeon and Bijou theaters Commercial Bank DeSoto Hotel the Charles Ellis house EppingerDunlap house Sheftall house Pink house Scarborough house the old Adler department store and the Old City Market
The collection was started in 1936 by Kiah and her mother Dr Lillie M Jackson Kiah explains that when she was a little girl in Baltimore she knew she wanted to be an artist But when she tried to visit a museum or gallery she was turned away because her skin was black
I told my mother that someday Id like to have a museum everybody could go to My mama didnt laugh at me She said she would help me
Her mother who was then in real estate had access to junk often left behind when people moved Thus the collection began Select pieces from this collection began the Savannah museum
In 1958 the Kiahs moved to Savannah for her husband Dr Calvin L Kiah to accept a position as associate professor and chairman of Savannah State Colleges education department Virginia taught in Savannahs public schools and continued collecting material for her museum
Dr Kiah who was later appointed vice president of Georgia State University had promised his wife a house large enough to carry out her dream The house on 36th Street filled the bill and the museum opened Nov 28 1959
Virginia Kiah greets all visitors to her eclectic Kiah Museum what she calls her museum for the masses
The Kiah Museum is a most unusual menagerie Standing casually in front of the fireplace is a fourfoot wood carving of the crucifixion by Savannah folk artist Ulysses Davis Kiah explained that while teaching art in a junior high school in 1953 the idea for a hobby show was tackled One student suggested she contact Davis He can carve anything out of wood the student said
When I went to see him I was impressed with how feelingly he expressed himself in wood Kiah remembers She came to buy the 1946 wooden crucifix for her museum
Nearby a cabinet holds her Marie Dressier collection Memorabilia from the famous actress who lived in the 1930s were donated by Sadie Steele Steele was the niece of Jerry Cox Dresslers butler and traveling companion from Savannah
Next in line come the fossils and skulls of various animals with miniature sketches of the animals they came from One of the fossils is reported to be 15 million years old American Indian artifacts include a 4000yearold piece
In the dining room are gold leaf chairs of the Kings Louis XV and XVI periods from a palace near Naples Italy An inlaid motherofpearl secretarydesk attributed to one of the same periods stands close by and an original Albrecht Durer wood block print hangs on the wall Durer who lived from 1471 to 1528 is considered by many to be the master of print makers
For those fortunate enough to be treated to a tour of the upstairs rooms a sleigh bed adorned with inlaid marquetry dominates the interior design A landscape drawing of Chatham Square hangs on the hallway wall As founder and director of the student division of the National Conference of Artists Kiah played a prominent part in the renovation of the Square by the Savannah chapter For a group of black children to beautify the city well in those days that was something she says
Also hanging on the walls are paintings sketches drawings of all kinds Eighteen artists are represented on her walls Many of the images were created by Kiah a recognized portraitist with 32 pictures hanging in public places in Baltimore and 40 in Georgia Among her most famous portraits is the one she painted of Dwight D Eisenhower Of this one she says It
Statues carvings and antique chairs join with wildlife exhibits and other art exhibits inside the diversified museum

Institute National Art Exhibit in 1971 and the National Conference of Artists gave the Virginia Kiah Merit Award in 1977
Little if any good came from segregation early in our century But if denying Virginia Kiah access to a museum helped instill in her a determination to reach her dream then the rest of us and particularly those in Savannah may be thankful for that At the least her museum shows us the results of an attitude she supports sticking to it despite discouragement But more than that it teaches all ages to appreciate the beautiful things in the world around us By choosing thousands of select items big and small Virginia Kiahs eclectic museum what she calls a museum for the masses inspires all who take the time to investigate

The Georgia Ports Corral
CONTAINERPORT houses unusual residents sometimes In March these included cape buffalo headed for home in South Africa
Twentytwo of these beasts were loaded onto the Safmarine vessel the Victory as it called Savannah to load containers While resembling domestic cattle these creatures have the reputations as the most dangerous animals in the African bush Yet unthreatened they behave most civilly
For that reason Les Carlisle travels with the animals feeding watering cleaning and generally keeping them
The cunning and intelligence of the cape buffalo make it a wellrespected animal in South Africa According to a legend a hunter shot a cape buffalo and only wounded it The cape made a wide circle laid quietly in the bush and attacked the unwary hunter
happy Carlisle came to the US to get the animals for J Brooker Wild World Proprietary Ltd of Germiston South Africa Carlisle also owns Helicapture a company that moves 20003000 head of game a year Carlisle explains that the cape buffalo are destined for the Mabula Game Ranch near Pretoria
Six crates held 22 cape buffalo on their trip to their homeland South Africa

Noting that there are more animals roaming the terrain in South Africa than there were many years ago Carlisle says people there are starting to conserve more than they used to Actually theyre simply making money he adds We have a saying If games to stay its gotta pay He says there are five companies such as his Its working and its a pleasure 1
The buffalo were shipped from the International Wildlife Park in Grand Prairie Texas near Dallas This park is a whollyowned subsidiary of International Animal Exchange which has a sister park in Ohio an office in Tokyo and a ranch in Kenya The International Wildlife Park features more than 2000 exotic animals roaming free throughout the 360acre preserve Visitors drive through and feed the animals from car windows In addition there is an Entertainment Village with rides a petting area and wild animal shows
Carlisle explains that of the 22 cape buffalo in this shipment nine were babies bred at the International Wildlife Park
These animals were chosen for the move to South Africa because of their diseasefree certification As many areas in Africa are less developed with less healthoriented regulations the South African government closely guards the entry of animals into the country Carlisle notes that a disease called corridor kills all kinds of bovine in his country every day
This particular shipment moved through Savannah because the Victory went to South Africa without first stopping in West Africa This rotation ensured that the diseasefree certification would remain intact Six 10 by 12 by 8 crates were set onto two platforms for movement onto the vessel by container cranes equipped with hooks and cables Of the 22 animals 11 were male and 11 were female The largest bull weighed about 2000 pounds The shipment also included one container of feed consisting of coastal hay and alfalfa pellets The trip was expected to take 21 days discharging the buffalo in Cape Town

FOOTWEAR SHIPPER FAVORS SAVANNAH
When US Lines changed their inbound rotation from South America Savannah became the first US port of call instead of New York JJ Calico Footwear which used to bring its shoes to St Louis from New York shifted their US port of call to Savannah
Calico is necessarily conscious of transit time which they can save by discharging in Savannah explains Tom Baines director of sales and marketing for D J Powers freight forwarder for Calico
J J Calico Footwear is a division of Fisher Camuto Corp of Connecticut Other divisions include Nine West and Gloria Vanderbilt All of these divisions are involved in the business of womens dress leather footwear
Terry Cosgrove senior traffic manager for Calico in St Louis expects 400 containers a year to be imported through Savannah This translates to 20000 pounds of shoes per container or a total of 8 million pounds yearly and 16000 pairs of shoes per container or a total of 64 million pairs of shoes per year
The shoes are manufactured in a j number of factories around the City of Novo Hamburgo Brazil They are transported by truck from the plants to the Ports of Rio Grande and Santos where they are loaded onto US Line vessels The first ship to discharge J J Calico Footwear cargo in Savannah was the American Michigan Her five Calico picks met the average projected by Cosgrove five containers per ship Tim Wilmore director of operations for Calico in Savan1 nah supervised dockside handling
Inland transportation is provided by I trucks The containers are offloaded onto tractortrailers and trucked to Calico headquarters in St Louis Missouri From there the shoes are distributed to the retailing network throughout the country

FROM THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA STRAIGHT
TO GEORGIA
Supplying the booming Southeast MaxeyBosshardt Lumber Co imported a single shipment of 57 million board feet of lumber through Savannah Destined for various construction jobs the cargo arrived on the Osprey Arrow in 2668 packages
Waymon Maxey cochief executive of MaxeyBosshardt said his company imports about 30 million board feet of lumber per year While it used to move on Sanko Lines it currently goes by charter He suggested the cargo may commit to a single line again someday

Conveys Cargo j to Memphis
Conveyor belts often stretch to the holds of ships transporting cargo from storage to vessel or vice versa An interesting variation on this theme occurred when the Barber Texas RoRo vessel carried a conveyor system crated in her belly
The conveyor belongs to NKC of America the Memphis office and manufacturing plant of Nakanishi Metal Works Co of Osaka Japan NKC primarily manufactures such support systems for the US auto industry Previous clients include Honda Nissan Chrysler
General Motors and Mazda Other NKC conveyor systems include those for appliance manufacturers and various metals industries
Yoshitaka Tanaka sales engineer for NKC of America said that the costs for these systems vary depending on the degree of sophistication and complexity
He cited prices as low as 20000 for the simplest pieces to 30 million which would include the design engineering fabrication installation and maintenance Tanaka said 1985 sales reached 40 million

The NKC plant in Memphis which was established in 1980 is expanding Tanaka explained The current 60000squarefoot facility will soon be complemented by a new 100000squarefoot building We are trying to reduce import ratios right now thats why were expanding the building he said adding that todays rates of imports will probably continue The new building will simply accommodate the increased sales projected by the company Expected import volumes in revenue tons approach 6000 tons per year Tanaka said
This particular shipment consisted of 12 crates totaling 8543 tons and 15408 cubic feet The cargo was discharged by two 225ton forklifts that travel with the ship Don Alt Barber Steamship Lines district manager in Memphis listed the port of load as Kobe Barber Steamship Lines is the local Memphis agent for Barber Blue Sea of which the Barber Texas is a part Alt said the overseas transit time from Kobe to Savannah was 24 days The inland transit time via special trucks and permits was three days
Barber Blue Sea calls Savannah six times a month Calling the port their gateway to the South Alt said Everything we need is available in Savannah Like carrier like shipper Savannah is the main port when we import Tanaka added I really appreciate how Savannah operates
The Barber Texas RoRo vessel easily stows bulky cargo such as these lengthy crates holding the conveyor system

BOWATER
TRIES
SAVANNAH
Thirteen thousand metric tons of southern pine woodpulp brought two Gorthon Line vessels to Savannah on a trial movement for Bowater Sales Co
Captain AWB Chalmers Bowaters manager of materials handling said that his company desires a wider view of the export of pulp from the South Atlantic so that we may have an alternative if necessary
The woodpulp originated in Catawba South Carolina Ports of discharge for the line include La Pallice Bolougne Antwerp Rotterdam Velsen Emden Bremen Chatham Hartlepool and Montrose Chalmers explained that the movement is a regular one with a volume of
11000 to 13500 short tons per month
Two ships carried the cargo to Europe
The Ingrid Gorthon loaded 3000 metric tons The pulp was in Savannah awaiting movement onto the Alida when the decision was made to divert an early portion to the Ingrid We shoehorned it in Chalmers explained about the fullyloaded Ingrid Gorthon
The Alida Gorthon arrived in Savannah about two weeks later to load 10000 metric tons The vessels are two of three sister ships the other one being the Margit Gorthon All the vessels are Swedish and were delivered from Busan South Korea in 1977 The 480foot vessels manned with a crew of 22 carry a deadweight tonnage of 14500 with a bale capacity of
600000 cubic feet
Two ondeck gantry cranes lift 30 tons each and accept a variety of spreaders for various cargoes including a spreader for containers The semiautomatic woodpulp spreader can lift 112 bales and the vacuum spreaders accommodate 30 newsprint rolls
Captain Lars Petersson Gorthon Lines cargo handling manager said that they have two things to consider about a
Two ondeck 30ton cranes lifted the bales of woodpulp
Together the Alida Gorthon and Ingrid Gorthon loaded 13000 tons of woodpulp on a trial shipment from Savannah to Europe
move to Savannah efficiency and the cost for that efficiency We should know pretty soon he said explaining We have to go through all the figures After that the decision will be made
At least a few people in Savannah would welcome regular calls by Gorthon vessels That would probably include Palmetto Shipping and Stevedoring Corp which served as local agent forwarder and stevedore for these two moves

Ed Bazemore is the general manager of Crescents Savannah operations administering a staff of about 40 The companys address is 124 West Bay Street Suite E Savannah GA 31402 912 2362571
Crescent is currently maintaining their fleets base at a temporary facility on a site downriver from the city front Bazemore said they plan to permanently locate around the city front area
Crescent Towing and Salvage Co has been in business for 45 years Headquartered in New Orleans they also have operations in Mobile With a fleet of 25 tugs they retain about 300 employees
Bazemore describes March as a turning point a time when the company can review its successes and make definite plans for the future As the yellow tugs work up and down the river the company positions itself as a mainstay in the Savannah water transportation industry
When Crescents tugs first sailed into the Port of Savannah they docked on River Street giving curious visitors a chance to become acquainted with the new kid on ine block
Competition almost always leads to a more healthy business environment If this is so the Port of Savannah has another advantage to add to its list with the introduction of Crescent Towing and Salvage Inc into the Savannah harbor
Crescent has completed its first quarter of operations in Savannah and it is obviously here to stay We are ahead of where we thought wed be at this time notes Charles A Andrews Jr executive vice president of the New Orleansbased company My aims are 50 percent of the market and we seem to be getting that
Crescent operates four tugs ranging from 2400 hp to 3600 hp the Virginia Providence Seaco Intrepid and Seaco Enterprise All are 105 feet long except for the Seaco Enterprise which measures 90 feet The Virginia and Providence are equipped with monitors and nozzles on top of the wheelhouse with hookups for foam or freshwater for fire fighting
Andrews explains that Crescent decided to expand into Savannah because we thought there was a definite need for another tug company and we saw sufficient business to warrant it Crescent currently has several contracts with steamship lines including US Lines

Whats Green and Rare and Sits in Johnson Square
The green container parked on Savannahs Johnson Square looked like all the others traveling the highways in and out of the city 8V2 feet high forty feet long Only this one had steps leading out of the back And every so often downtowners would notice a small crowd leaving as others ascended into the box
Those who gave into their curiosity would discover a rare surprise in this Incotrans container For inside they would find a minicinema seating for twelve and a wellstocked kitchenette and bar
The specially outfitted containers name is DEMCO short for demonstration container Incotrans Intercontinental Transport BV sends it around the world providing factual information on Incotrans services and the trade routes involved Transportation companies have the advantage of using the program not only to evaluate Incotrans but also to expose their employees to the intricacies of transportation
Guests are first welcomed and then treated to a 15minute film created by
Bengt Hasselblad grandson of the famous camera inventor and his assistant Torleif Sordergren A tapeslide show further educates the audience The audiovisual offerings highlight intermodal container operations computerized cargo handling and transportation logistics
The Port of Savannah is featured as a significant port in Incotrans Gulf Europe Service The film followed the manufacture of paper products at Savannahs Union Camp Corp Containers of the large rolls of paper were stuffed and then loaded onto an Incotrans vessel bound for discharge at the Port of Rotterdam The carton stock then traveled to Amsterdam where Heineken uses it to package their sixpacks of premium beer From there the cartons travel back to the
Its hard to believe 12 people were inside munching hors doeuvres and watching a show on the Incotrans service The DEMCO parked on Johnson Square and was open to the public
US where the beer is consumed in cities such as Savannah
The film was created in 1985 Stevens Shipping and Terminal Co local agent for Incotrans worked with the photographers during the shoots in Savannah Berry Rich sales manager and himself a noted Savannah photographer assisted the creative team
Totally refurbished this year the Incotrans DEMCO is now in its eighth year of operation Each year DEMCO calls on about 150 companies and hosts over 2500 guests Having just toured Germany Italy and Switzerland the DEMCO traveled almost 4000 miles and hosted almost 1500 people in just two months
Jack van Houten Incotrans resident general manager describes this educational tool as a unique instrument While he wont profess this is the only such container he said he has never seen another He noted that Incotrans is now getting requests from colleges to utilize DEMCO
The DEMCO traveled from Savannah to Atlanta From there its sixmonth schedule takes it to other South Atlantic states the Gulf Coast region the Midwest the West Coast and the Canadian Pacific Coast

BETWEEN
TWO
SWEETHEARTS
Everything was twice as nice at the Savannah Womens Transportation Associations annual award presentations to the Sweethearts of the Year
Jack Donohue director of port development at Georgia Ports Authority and Preston Maroney terminal manager at Bowman Transportation Cos container division were the illustrious winners
As tradition goes for this seventh annual awarding of the heartadorned boxer shorts the winners were first subjected to the rudest roastings possible The evening always promises wonderful entertainment and surprises for the women and their guests
On the eve of Valentines Day the audience was honored to include previous Sweethearts of the Year including George Nichols GPAs executive director Walter Caceres vice president for Stevens Shipping and Terminal Co John Powers GPAs director of trade relations and Tommy James vice president of John S James Co Each had his chance to pick on this years sweetheart
But when the bedevilment was over the real reasons for the awards surfaced Both men are special to the Savannah Womens Transportation Association Maroney for his continuous help to the Savannah chapter and Donohue for bringing the best of New York to Savannah Consequently he also takes the best of Savannah back to New York As Nichols said If anybodys inflicted southern charm on New York hes done it
Donohue has spent over 40 years on the transportation scene in New York Before he joined Georgia Ports Authority in January 1974 he spent 25 years working for Allied Chemical Corp climbing the corporate ladder from clerk level to manager of Allieds agricultural division Currently responsible for maintaining the liaison with steamship lines in New York and the solicitation of those for Georgias ports he is a member of the New York Traffic Club Whitehall Club Downtown Athletic Club International Commerce Club World Trade Club and the Railroad Foreign Freight Association
As manager of Bowmans container division Maroneys responsibilities include the daytoday operations of the terminal and administration of sales activities With 21 drivers Bowman delivers empty and loaded containers to inland customers involved in international commerce Maroney holds a bachelors degree in management from the University of South Carolina He has been in the transportation industry for five years the latter half being dedicated to Bowman His previous position was in sales for American Freight Systems in Savannah Prior to that he acquired 10 years of experience from the other side of the fence as head of the traffic department for a Georgia textile manufacturer e
The presents are fun as Jack Donohue above will attest But both SWTA sweethearts could probably have done without the roasting which Preston Maroney below addresses

Industrial Development Thrives
Port Industrial Park Two and The Savannah Transportation Center Locate Near GPA
Just when construction wound down on Georgia Ports Authoritys major projects in Savannah it seems the equipment had only a short trek to a new construction project Less than two miles away from the gates to GPAs CONTAINERPORT located at Garden City Terminal dirt is being plowed and trees thinned out to make room for a 154acre industrial park and a new office complex
The new industrial park called the Port Industrial Park Two is located on Highway 307 It will feature building sites ranging from one acre up to 60 acres and is served by municipal water sewer natural gas and rail service
A new multitenant office complex the Savannah Transportation Center is located at the earlier phase of industrial development the first Port Industrial Park Each suite is 375 square feet and is designed for small serviceoriented companies
In late 1983 the development of Port Industrial Park by MC Anderson Construction Co and RJ Duffy Company Real Estate was sold out to seventeen different companies The second phase should be ready for construction in May
1986 The office complex is slated for
completion in April 1986 Both are also being developed by Duffy and Anderson Demand Is Strong
Port Industrial Park Two is being developed in response to the increased need for quality warehousing for both port and nonportrelated companies moving to Savannah explains Robert J Duffy Jr He notes that the first phase cut time projections by twothirds They sold out within 18 months as opposed to the expected four years This has a lot to do with what youre doing at the port Duffy adds
A diverse group makes up the tenant list Included are general or public warehousing specialized motor carriers light manufacturers and national companies that use Savannah as a southeastern distribution point The transportation center is expected to appeal to such groups as manufacturing representatives marine insurance brokers and other small business organizations
Location Is Key
The combination of utilities location close to the port airport and quality building sites made this first industrial park a great success Duffy says We
have found that many companies doing business in Savannah from facilities outside the city state and country are coming to us and saying We can justify a presence in Savannah to serve our customers locally and in the southeastern United States
Duffy explains that 50 to 70 percent of the parks tenants deal with the port He adds that very few deal directly with the airport but notes that the airport has been a factor in the national companies location decisions Proximity to an airport is an important factor when executives will be visiting the Savannah site
Developers Are Homegrown MC Anderson Construction Co is headquartered in Garden City having conducted business in the area for over 20 years It is considered the largest grading utility contractor in the Southeast and has three offices in the region RJ Duffy Company Real Estate is an industrial developerbroker specializing in industrial site acquisition warehouse sales and leasing and industrial park development Its headquarters were opened in Savannah ten years ago

RECORD YEAR FOR HARTSFIELD ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL
A record for passenger traffic through the worlds largest terminal complex was set when 42494630 passengers traveled through Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport in 1985 In addition the 755807 aircraft movements for the year were 96 percent above the previous years record
Passenger Growth Indications I think it is a credit to Atlantas entire aviation community airport management the airlines FAA and others that we were able to move record numbers of passengers and aircraft in 1985 said Commissioner of Aviation Calvin Carter If present trends continue it seems likely that we will need our full operational capacity
All indications are that our origin and destination traffic is continuing to climb even though more than 60 percent of our passengers still are connecting in Atlanta Carter continued The Southeast has grown to such an extent that other markets now can support their own air service needs We in turn need the extra capacity to accommodate the expanding Atlanta market
International Cargo Indications Though total cargo dipped four percent in 1985 international cargo movements continued their steady increase In 1985 the 52791 metric tons of international freight represented an eight percent increase over the previous year and accounted for nearly onefifth of total cargo
Records were set for both passenger traffic and aircraft movements at Atlantas airport In addition international freight increased eight percent
International cargo growth is expected to continue in 1986 with the expansion of service to Europe and the Far East In conjunction with that new facilities will get underway in the North Cargo Area and airport management is working on an automated cargoclearance system for international freight
Longterm Plans
Airport management is looking to the decades ahead to prepare for future aviation
growth Since Hartsfield Atlanta International is the fastest growing international gateway to the US construction will begin this year on a second international concourse that will provide three additional gates by next summer In addition architectural work will begin on an extension of the underground transit system to prepare for the eventual construction of the fifth domestic concourse
The City of Atlanta which operates Hartsfield Atlanta International also owns more than 10000 acres of land north and west of the metropolitan area in the event that a second major airport is needed to serve the Atlanta area

The second week in February is set aside each year for Georgians to pay tribute to their states beginning A celebration so eventfilled that a week is needed to fit in all the activity Georgia Week in Savannah commemorates Gen James Oglethorpes founding of the colony
Church services art shows music and the reenactment of colonial life styles marked this years observance
A few key events take place each year such as the childrens parade for Georgia Day teas and lectures said Neil Horstman executive director of the sponsoring Historic Savannah Foundation
Some regular participants he added have been the Colonial Dames the Downtown Garden Club area schools and the Massie Heritage Center
According to Horstman a committee of about 50 is involved in the planning of each years series of events Members are drawn from the Historic Savannah Foundation membership as well as the general community
The Georgia Week celebration began as an educational outreach of the foundation and as such encourages the participation of Savannahs young people Nearly 5000 of them heartily enjoyed marching in the

Marching music was provided by several local high school drum units Smiling featherbedecked Indians colonial gentlemen in tricorn hats and ladies in flowing dresses proudly followed banners bearing their schools names
The parade culminated in a brief l ceremony at City Hall where the cheering colonists were greeted by dignitaries in the guise of General Oglethorpe Tomochichi Mary Musgrove and the Rev George Whitefield Savannahs Mayor John Rousakis declared the merriment to be the largest Georgia Day celebration in the world
Prizes were awarded for the best school banners with Tompkins Elementary coming in first Their banner featured a white background with a blue map of Georgia ringed by the state flag the state bird brown thrasher a peach peanuts and the state flower the Cherokee Rose
After the parade excitement a number of people gathered at the Hyatt for the yearly Georgia Day luncheon featuring the Rev Peter Marshall
The noted theologians subject was George Whitefield who founded Bethesda Home for Boys in 1740 Mayor Rousakis paid tribute to this achievement with a 1 j proclamation given at the end of the parade
Throughout the week Savannahs rich history was highlighted at various sites in the area At Fort Pulaski on the outskirts of Savannah costumed soldiers provided a living history reenactment of military life during the Civil War The audiences were treated to a discussion of the forts role in history
Back downtown the Independent Presbyterian Church paid homage to Savannahs Scottish heritage leading off services with bagpipe music The congregation joined in the spirit by wearing kilts or colonial costumes
Similarly clad officials at Wormsloe Plantation Historic Site on the Isle of Hope held a 250th anniversary celebration bringing life to Georgias early years with demonstrations and exhibits Visitors were able to get a firsthand look at the way life was back then
In addition to historic and educational activities Georgia Week also provided many activities for art fans Events ranged from an exhibit of watercolors by a South Carolina painter Larry F Lebby at Savannahs KingTisdale Cottage to a display of students arts and crafts related to Georgias founding at the Massie Heritage Center
Colonial life came alive during Georgia Week with demonstrations at the Wormsloe Historic
Site
On view as well was a statewide high school art competition at the Savannah College of Art and Designs Library Gallery and a selection of works by local artists at the Savannah Art Associations gallery on Factors Walk above the River Street shopping district
A musical celebration was provided by pipe organ recitals at the Lutheran Church of the Ascension Organ recitals also took place at the Independent Presbyterian Church Christ Church Wesley Monumental St Johns Episcopal and First Baptist In addition the Atlanta Chamber Players presented a concert at Temple Mikve Israel as part of this years Savannah Chamber Music Series
On a more informal note Georgia Week closed with a seafood festival on River Street with local flavor that included an oyster roast a lowcountry cookout and barbecue
Earlier in the day 225 runners pounded a route through Savannahs Historic District as they took part in the Stride Through History sponsored by the Savannah Bank and Trust
They began in front of Savannah Bank and Trust on Johnson Square circled the square and headed down Bull to Washington made a loop near Forsyth Park and came back via Bull and Washington to the starting line
The first place winner in the mens division was Chuck Rudolph of Hilton Head SC The first female runner was Lynn Corlis of Savannah
This years Georgia Week observance provided Savannahians and visitors with a chance to take part in activities designed to entertain and educate Savannahs rich heritage afforded many people a good time at her birthday party
Obviously a symbolic representation Gen James Oglethorpe addresses the parades audience

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
Overtonnaging and a troubled world economy have steamship lines operating at mid1970s rates They in turn are pressuring agents forwarderbrokers and the ports they call to hold the line on costs Deregulation has spawned a whole new set of companies and practices on the inland side Throughout the transportation and support sectors pricing pressures are more intense than ever
Our job as transportation providers is to achieve efficiencies that will keep prices at the lowest level possible consistent with competitiveness corporate solvency and a reasonable profit margin To do this we look to areas as diverse as improved productivity expanded provision of intermodal services increased reliance on the computer for paperless processing and development of equipment and facilities that will maximize cargo throughput The common thread that runs through all of these areas is technological innovation
With this issue of AnchorAge we introduce what will become an annual feature in our MayJune edition We will attempt to analyze the impact of recent advances on our industry as well as examine research and trends that will shape the vessels trucks railcars and cranes to serve shippers in the next decade and beyond
For our background information we have gone to two types of sources those who will design and build the next generation of facilities and equipment and those who will use them From naval engineers to port directors from marine consultants to railroaders we have tried to cover the transportation terrain in its entirety
This universal approach is particularly appropriate to this day and age Intermodalism and the emergence of the socalled total transportation company make it impossible for us to isloate each segment of our industry for individual analysis Rather we must examine each within the overall context of a shipping public increasingly interested in dealing with a single transportation broker for the entire move
Todays trade publication headlines are dotted with examples of responses to shipper demand for singlesourced transportation ocean carriers buying barge and truck lines railroad mergers railroads buying steamship lines and port authorities subsidizing rail movements Tomorrows transportation salesman will carry a locomotive engineers cap a bosuns whistle and a truckers wallet in his suitcase
The technology of the 1990s will reflect
the integration of the various transportation modes It will no longer be possible for the designer of railcars to consider only the trackside implications of his handiwork Likewise the traditional naval or marine architect will find himself forced to expand his horizons to the inland transportation sector as well In short the transportation planner will have to wear just as many hats as the transportation seller
Our technology article in this issue pg
2 reveals that industry professionals are already embracing a more universal approach in their planning efforts This trend is inevitable for the simple reason that it is shipperdriven Changes schemes innovations and new designs are appearing with a frequency that indicates we are in dynamic times even by transportation industry standards We may quickly find out that in terms of publishing a technology update once a year is not enough

Every industry has its buzz words its own lingo load center TEU LCL stuffing and stripping Those of us in the transportation industry easily identify these while those outside might have a little trouble
Another buzz work transcends the boundaries of industries affecting practically everyone in these dynamic days This is high technology The transportation industry is definitely being affected by technology Consider such innovations as 4482TEU jumbo vessels doublestack railcars roadrailers and highway trailers up to 53 feet in length
Charlie Skinner managing director of the Georgia Trucking Association notes that changes in the transportation industry are not necessarily revolutionary but evolutionary Its more a gradual improvement he says Given the large capital investments these technologies represent this is understandable
As the transportation industry shifts and changes and dons these innovations correctly forecasting future trends becomes increasingly important New technology intelligence therefore is imperative for strategic management planning decision making and development of policies
Given the highly competitive nature of the transportation industry outside suppliers and consultants are the best source for insights into the future Mark Cane director of intermodal marketing for Burlington Northern Railroad says his firm prefers to talk about perspirations rather than aspirations This reflects Burlington Northerns preference to talk current events rather than competitive corporate secrets
Research
All technology begins with an idea and research either may come first Cane notes that BN is often approached by entrepreneurs and inventors with ideas for different equipment types If there is a possibility this idea will work we brush it up and try it in a smallscale revenue service If there is still hope we will run it through the Association of American Railroads test track in a controlled environment Then we try to confirm the results in a largescale service If it still merits consideration we will make a commitment and integrate it into the system he explains
In addition to equipment research those in the transportation industry must research trends within the world economy Harry Richardson director of marketing at Brown Transport said this Atlantabased motor carrier consistently conducts market surveys and compares the results with expectations derived from external data
Richard Y Scheiner senior port engineer of The World Bank notes several areas for shipowners and the port industry to address
a risk analysis of traffic forecasts to determine the uncertainty of demand projections
b transport and cargohandling technology forecasts
c institutional and political development projections including forecasts of regulatory changes
d environmental analysis and impact assessments
e market and competition trend analysis

f intermodal technology and choice forecasts
g cargo form projections and
h operational and interface development forecasts
Finally outside consultants provide a wide range of research expertise coupled with an oftenvaluable objectivity John Reeve principal of Temple Barker and Sloane and director of the liner and shipping activities of their maritime group explains that his firm provides management consultation to ports carriers and shippers Information systems strategic planning and longterm development are scrutinized and suggested In addition he says TBS also works in national policy areas for governments and conducts technical research for shipyard industries
Computers
As much a result of research as a tool for research computers have fueled the hightechnology age worldwide Transportation is no different Increasing amounts of information are being funneled into the worlds transportation channels providing the basis for much of the industrys transformation
Computer applications extend throughout the entire distribution function including order processing inventory control warehouse and distribution center operations logistics management freight rate determination and auditing preparation and transmission of
Technology is changing the skyline of American ports

AnchorAge

The computer has permeated the transportation industry in every aspect from paperless processing to equipment design
transportation and customs documents and billing and collections
John H Mahoney in Intermodal Freight Transportation dedicates a total chapter to recent developments and intermodalitys future course In it he writes
Intermodality ties the modes together to give the user an almost infinite variety of choices in rates transport times and conditions and the computer enables the producer and the user to cope with and employ intermodalitys variety of choices The two concepts work in tandem to produce a result that multiplies the benefits of intermodality
Standardization for such electronic data interchange between these systems is becoming increasingly necessary In fact networking may well be the key to a successful efficient future Based on designs currently underway the trend towards proliferation of different incompatible systems is developing into a situation that could become intolerable for truck users warns Lynn R Gorman vice president of maintenance for Ryder Truck Rental
EDI standardization is a controversial subject however Some think it is impossible to achieve such a lofty goal with so many cooks in the kitchen Others however point to the success of the Uniform Communication Standard of the retail food industry One possibility is that thirdparty networks or electronic clearing houses will develop to serve as interpreters between computer systems
Applications Railroads The rail industry has long been using computers The American Association of Railroads founded Management Systems the predecessor of RAILINC in 1968 to provide information and communication systems to railroads Message switching was introduced in 1977 and now 86 percent of railrelated messages are switched over RAILINC corporate officials say
RAILINC is an independent AAR subsidiary and handles 125000 units every day Users include carriers shippers railcar owners car companies and car suppliers Its international data communications facility TeleRail
The trucking industry is rapidly leaving the past standards behind

AnchorAge
Automated Information Network handles more than one million transactions a day The company is also working with the American Trucking Associations on Transettlement setting up a link through which railtruck shipping information can be consolidated
Another information technology being applied by the rail industry is the Advanced Railroad Electronics System a prototype tracking system developed by Burlington Northern and the Collins Air Transport Division of Rockwell International This satellite guidance system allows railroads to monitor train speed and location with increased accuracy resulting in better communications reduced fuel consumption more efficient operations and handling and safer and faster service
Informational analysis goes beyond mere massaging of numbers to the development of concrete results in the form of hardware advances for the railroad industry Doublestack trains introduced in 1979 offer savings of up to 40 percent over traditional container trains As of March 1986 doublestack operators throughout the US provided 49 weekly departures deploying 616 articulated railcars or 12320 TEUs
The roadrailer is another innovation that may sweep the nation With a set of movable metal flanged wheels for rail and rubber tires for highway it operates equally well in both modes and does not require transfer of cargo between vehicles or between modes
The roadrailer is the key for railroads to get back into the shorter haul markets and will be used to supplement doublestack operations Burlington Northerns Cane explains
One future rail scenario involves the singleunit doublestack car This piece of equipment is selfcontained with the capability to carry two 40foot containers as opposed to the more common articulated doublestack car which carries ten 40foot containers George Bud McNally vice president of sales at Thrall Car Manufacturing Co explains that his company has taken one prototype through a test program Using the results from the first test a second prototype is entering structural and highspeed tests which should be completed about midJune
Applications Motor Carriers Trucking companies are also incorporating new technologies into their business A study by Temple Barker Sloane found that only 25 percent of 100 fleets affiliated with the Private Truck Council of America have no computer support at all They report that financial accounting systems are the most popular computer applications
The potential for cost savings of up to 40 percent has sent demand for doublestack hardware skyrocketing
MayJune 1986

The study suggests however that there is ample room for growth TBS reports that private truck fleets lag well behind their forhire competitors in computer technology Fewer than 50 percent of the private fleets expressed interest in certain systems such as equipment control mileagerouting drivervehicle tracking and computerassisted dispatching
Adding to the inefficiencies of private fleet computer usage is the fact that the information generated sometimes cannot be practically applied Forty percent of the automated fleets for example could not identify average miles per truck or profits per shipment
Yet computers are making an inroad in the trucking industry For example Brown Transport has on line a shipment tracking system and has in development an automated rating methodology Richardson reports
Market research in the trucking industry has revealed a need to haul a wide range of products whose density demands greater cubic capacity for lower transport costs The resulting technology is the 53foot trailer Again this is a new controversial technology and is not accepted in many states Opposition to these jumbos centers around safety issues although advocates argue that greater capacity actually results in fewer miles driven and fewer accidents
Another technology currently being developed includes the conversion of motor vehicles to natural gas The major hindrance to this is a limited network of filling stations with only 13 available in the United States The advantages of natural gas reportedly include lower permile costs less pollution fewer oil and spark plug changes fewer repairs and a surplus of the fuel
Other fueloriented technologies include systems to reduce the pollution generated by diesel engines The Environmental Protection Agency plans to tighten restrictions on heavyduty particulate emissions such as diesel soot Responses to this regulation include ceramic filters which serve as particulate traps and catalytic converters which bum off the collected particulates High costs of these innovations require continued research
Applications Ocean Carriers Steamship lines also utilize the information provided by advanced computer systems Logically the first phase where such systems are used is the shipbuilding process At a meeting of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in Boston Christopher J Ryan of the Naval Sea Systems Commands Computer Aided Design Office presented the Navys plans for the future
The Navys goal is to go from a computer screen to shipyard with a single product model that everyone from management to architects to laborers can use This computeraided design would create a threedimensional digitized
Many people feel the container revolution may have peaked and that renewed emphasis on advanced breakbulk technology may be the wave of the future
product model which would tie together all efforts in a database that would last the lifetime of the vessel
Another shipbuilding possibility is automation of the process through the incorporation of robotics Some advice on worthwhile research and development is provided by Daniel E Whitney of Charles Stark Draper Laboratory coauthor of a study on the future of robotics and automation Among other things the yards and their design agents should
improve their technical and cost knowledge of their basic processes
train their employees to be sensitive to measurements and tolerances
create teams of designers fabricators and automation engineers
utilize automation in the interim product concept and
automate design planning and scheduling

One utilization of computers in the operation of freighters includes overall situationassessment systems Such a system would coordinate the information generated by various computers on the vessel enabling quick decisions
Computers currently perform many separate functions such as navigation collision avoidance route planning performance monitoring weather tracking loading analysis communications and administration Currently when these functions are handled by separate computer systems decisionmaking is often slowed down
Sonalysts Inc of Waterford
Connecticut presented a paper to the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in Boston In it they detailed the feasibility of a total situation assessment system using standard office computers Such a system would range from 30000 to 40000 but software costs would run the total considerably higher Taking up to two years to develop software the system could cost as much as 1 million however operation improvements should more than defray the initial investment
The Maritime Administration is also involved in integrating computer functions for commercial shipping
The Year 2000
Some say that containerization is reaching its peak right now Those that have containerized already have those that have not never will Advocates of this position point to the development of more sophisticated breakbulk terminals such as that developed by CMT Systems currently in operation at the BNFW fruit terminal in Antwerp Belgium
CMT has developed a fully integrated automated cargohandling system designed to move palletized cargoes mechanically see photo left The heart of the system is a spiral conveyor which consists of a column in which a helical conveyor moves cartons bags or crates either inbound or outbound Promotions boast movements of 29000 cartons per eighthour shift
Some folks think containerization still has room to grow Jim McJunkin the executive director of the Port of Long Beach acknowledges that the container revolution has passed Were in the evolutionary phase now he says
UTDC HPIT CONTAINER TRAIN CONFIGURATION
COMMAND END CONTAINER SLAVE ENDOFTRAIN
McJunkin points to several developments that continue to improve the handling of cargo at container ports such as terminals able to handle 7000TEU vessels with containers stacked in 16 rows He explains that intermodalism may make travel through the Panama Canal less cost effective and vessels may then be built larger than Panamax the current guideline currently set by the Canal Under this scenario landbridge connections would become increasingly more prominent
Cargo handling should continue to see innovations Automated container cranes may increase cycle rates by 100 percent allowing the handling of a container per minute he predicts McJunkin says these mechanisms may work faster than the human operator In addition automatic conveyor systems may eliminate the multiple handling of containers bound for rail He predicts batches of containers moving via conveyor directly to the rail terminal never touching the ground until they reach their destination
Other predictions include new types of
containers such as selfconsolidating
deconsolidating collapsible inflatable and
disposable containers TBS Reeve foresees
containers designed to handle more
specialized products He said that the
feasibility of larger containers will be
driven by the requirements of land
transportation 1

High productivity integral train concepts are aimed at substantial reductions in train operating costs as much as 50 percent in intermodal service and 35 percent in bulk service Integral trains are intended for dedicated use in defined corridors without handling in classification yards The concept above is proposed by Transportation Technology Ltd a subsidiary of Urban Transportation Development Corp of Kingston Ontario

STARS 25rh ANNIVERSARY
In 25 years the Star Shipping fleet has grown from one vessel to more than 50 Several are often seen in Brunswick and Savannah
In 1961 a Norwegian shipping company was founded Star Shipping Per F Waaler Since then the oneman onevessel business has grown to an international transportation company operating a fleet of more than 50 modem largely specialized ships
Per F Waaler built the company from scratch managing one small secondhand bulk carrier He was the innovative and inspirational leader during the first 11
years until his tragic death in a plane crash in 1972 at age 41
Star Shipping has continued to grow establishing itself in the shipment of forest products aluminum steel containers and project cargoes Star Shipping is owned and backed by three substantial Norwegian shipowning companies AS Billabong Fred Olsen Co and WestfalLarsen Co AS
Stars total gross annual sales today are over 25 billion Norwegian Kroner US 32525 million The fleet of over 50 ships has a total deadweight of 18 million tons carries over seven million tons of cargo per year and has a container capacity exceeding 25000 TEUs The worldwide network consists of 15 offices and employs 263 people
Star is noted for developing the multipurpose type of ship known as the open hatch gantry craned vessel The company

has developed tailormade cargohandling equipment in Stars factories to fully utilize the features of these vessels
These stateoftheart vessels are often seen at the Ports of Brunswick and Savannah The local agent is Southern Steamship Agency Export cargoes such as forest products clay and sometimes granite provide the incentive Unitized movements facilitated by the vessel design seem ideal for forest products such as linerboard woodpulp coated board and corrugated mediums
Gunnar Haavik vice president and general manager of Star Shipping NY Inc explains that Star has called Georgias ports in Savannah and Brunswick since the 1970s to load Buckeye and Mead forest products An emphasis was placed on Brunswick when the new
transit shed was completed in 1980 Haavik notes
The two Georgia ports have been a part of our forest products business as long as weve been on this coast he adds
At Georgias ports every year Haavik says Star Shipping makes 18 sailings to the Far East 12 sailings to the Mediterranean and 1518 sailings to North Europe In addition an occasional vessel will discharge cargo for what Haavik calls markettype business
Anyone will go anywhere today Haavik explains the willingness to carry cargo
As Star moves into the second quarter of its first century four new G class ships are being built at the Japanese yards of Mitsui and Kawasaki They will be used to carry containers and forest prod
ucts in Stars service between the US and Canadian West Coast and Europe
The design is the seventh generation of Stars openhatch type Total cargo capacity of each ship is 43700 deadweight tons and container intake varies between 1512 and 1568 TEUs Ten boxshaped holds are served by two 40ton MitsuiPaceco gantry cranes Six holds are equiped with cell guides With a length of 646 feet a molded beam of 96 feet and a load draft of 38 feet the vessels are easily maneuvered with a bow thruster and Becker rudder

BBS AND NEDLLOYD
EXIT MIDEAST
BOTH MODIFY SERVICES
Following previous rationalization measures both Barber Blue Sea and Nedlloyd Lines have terminated direct service to the Middle East The new services however will bring several unexpected benefits to Savannah Nedlloyd will introduce weekly RoRocontainer service to northern Europe and the Mediterranean while BBS maintains a strong presence along the Far Eastern trade routes
Effects of the market
Cargo volumes to the Middle East have been falling Results include excess vessel capacities of around 40 percent and a drop in the rates of about 50 percent in the last three years Last year the two lines addressed this problem with a spacechartering agreement
With the cancellation of Mideast service the lines connection is also terminated
This was not an easy decision to make stated BBS President Michael A Elliott Barber Blue Sea has been firmly committed to the Middle East trade for more than a decade we are the market leader and have been for much of that time Nedlloyd also has a long record of service to the Mideast since the 1940s
As a freemarket unsubsidized carrier with commercial responsibilities Elliott added we were left with no choice given the escalating overtonnage and rate pressures and the dramatic decline in the Middle East trade
What now BBS
The BBS service will now operate from Southeast Asia and the Far East to North America and Panama with a sailing every

Atlanta
Foreign Trade Zone Swings Into Gear
By the time this magazine is published a license agreement should be signed between the Atanta Tradeport and the Georgia Foreign Trade Zone Board
The Atlanta Tradeport consists of 280 acres on which a 100000squarefoot warehouse and a 50000squarefoot multitenant building will be built to house Atlantas new foreign trade zone
The Atlanta Tradeport is a joint venture between International Airport Properties Wilma Southeast Inc and Herman Russells Gibraltar Land Co Ken Anderberg executive vice president of International Airport Properties said that the Tradeport is a total concept a fullservice air cargo distribution park
Anderberg explained that distribution
Atlanta is gearing up for a new foreign trade zone to be called the Atlanta Tradeport
is the main goal of the Atlanta Tradeport which in addition to an FTZ will eventually include air cargo facilities distribution facilities related facilities such as packing and repacking an animal port refrigerated warehouse and fumigation facilities Future plans call for a world trade center complete with hotel and supporting retail businesses
This is the largest piece of land that is
near an airport and ready for development that I know of in this country Anderberg said Transportation advantages include adjacency to the Atlanta Hartsfleld International Airport direct rail access and good motor carrier access with three major highways 175 1285 and US 41 bordering the Tradeport
Anderberg said marketing will begin very shortly The closing on the property took place in May and he hopes to have the FTZ in operation by December 1986

CELEBRATES GRAND OPENING
Surgeon General Koop who served for 17 years on MAPs board of directors before being appointed to his current post cited the uniqueness of the organization which has provided more than 250 million in medicines and medical supplies to mission hospitals and agencies since its founding in 1954
MAP annually distributes more than 20 million in medical supplies and FDAregulated medicines donated by more than 200 leading US healthcare companies Cash contributions from individuals churches and other sources help fund the distribution of these supplies
Augmenting MAPs shipments of curative medicines and supplies is the organizations work in education and disease prevention through community health programs MAPs projects on location in the Third World help people there to understand the cause of disease and how to combat it e
MAP International has opened new headquarters in Brunswick Georgia featuring a 33000squarefoot medical distribution center and 15000 square feet of office space
This 16 million facility built through MAPs Building for Health campaign will enable the Christian global health organization to double the amount of medical supplies it processes for distribution to mission hospitals in some 80 Third World countries
Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris and US Surgeon General C Everett Koop were among the 700 people who attended both the dedication and open house for the facility
I am confident that Brunswick is the ideal location for MAPs headquarters the governor said not only because of Brunswicks nearby airport port and transportation corridors linking it to the world but because of the people of Georgia who support MAPs endeavors
MAPs distribution center is capable of storing over 15 million worth of supplies being processed for shipment to hospitals and clinics in Third World countries Since its founding in 1954 MAP has become the worlds largest supplier of medicines and medical supplies serving over 650 hospitals

NORFOLK SOUTHERN
Shrinking the Hinterland
Norfolk Southern has instituted some impressive changes with regard to its scheduling in and out of Savannah The bottom line is that for points throughout the railroads expansive hinterland Savannah is closer than ever A few examples are in order
Departure time for NS daily Atlanta Connection train has been pushed back from 9 pm to 1 am without effecting the delivery schedule in Atlanta Shippers now have four more hours each day to catch the outbound ride while maintaining their accustomed schedule for deliveries in and connections beyond Atlanta
An earlier NS innovation was the designation of CONTAINERPORT Savannah as their rail ramp eliminating the cost and time of a crosstown dray The carrier has now extended its pull time from 5 pm to 1201 am This will provide additional time for preparation of documenta
Norfolk Southerns revised Savannah schedule improves delivery times by as much as 24 hours
tion and mounting of containers For example containers pulled as late as 1201 am will depart Savannah at 1 am
Inbound shipments have also received scheduling attention Containers arriving in Savannah from points such as Atlanta Asheville and Norfolk on a given afternoon will be made available for port or domestic delivery the next morning In most cases this represents a 24hour improvement in the delivery
See box for a few samples based on actual recent shipments
Intermodalism pressures carriers to develop cost and service innovations in order to maintain their competitiveness Based on their improved service to and from Savannah Norfolk Southern obviously intends to remain in the thick of things

KICKLIGHTER
CELEBRATES 30 YEARS
In 1956 when D J Kicklighter started working for the Georgia Ports Authority cotton was king We had worlds of cotton so much that some of it was stored off the port he says Kicklighter was a cotton compress foreman then after only one busy week of training GPAs Ocean Terminal was his domain
Kicklighter explains that cotton was compressed into highdensity bales back then for export via sea These tight bales took less room on the vessels What with the changing market for cotton however combined with increasing numbers of manmade textiles and the pesky boll weevil the leading exports days were numbered By the 1960s work with burlap replaced that of cotton at Savannahs Ocean Terminal Kicklighter remembers
The era of King Cotton was over but the new cargo took up the slack North Georgia became one of the worlds leading suppliers of quality carpeting for which burlap was and still is used as a backing material
As Kicklighters attention turned to burlap his career took a step forward when he replaced his boss H M Kincey Jr as assistant warehouse supervisor at Garden City Terminal His territory became the old government warehouses that used to cover what is now container berth five After serving GPA in this capacity for about ten years he became dock supervisor
Management combined the two departments dock and warehouse and he had the whole yard including the LUV truck activity I had a lot of employees under me then he says He also
entered the GPA crosstraining program where he worked at the then200000squarefoot container freight station and GPAs breakbulk facility at OT
Today as superintendent in the operations department Kicklighters main activities revolve around the railroad activity at Garden City Terminal This includes the docks warehouses container freight station and the cold storage area
Every morning he checks the rails to see how many cars were spotted overnight He uses the inbound sheets at the Savannah State Docks Railroad office to see how many cars need placing keeping alert to avoid demurrage charges Waybills are attached to the worksheets for the clerks and railcars are logged in as they are worked The paperwork all funnels to Kicklighters office for finalization where OSD over short and damaged reports are attached to the waybill
Finally Kicklighter spends time on anything else that comes to hand that I can help out with He says this often includes help with pig iron loading customer relations and assisting trucks at the scale
This spring marked Kicklighters thirtieth anniversary at GPA an event recognized with a special presentation of a laserengraved clock and a check for 200 by GPA Executive Director George Nichols Kicklighter has been commended for his good attendance missing only a handful of days over the years While he has no immediate plans for retirement he admits he wants a little time to enjoy Bluffton his lowcountry home about 45 minutes away from Garden City
Appearance may change but not the hard work put out by D J Kicklighter 30year employee of the Georgia Ports Authority

Savannah Propeller Club Advocates in Washington
Georgias legislators in Washington got a visit from four members of the Savannah chapter when they attended the National Propeller Club Salute to Congress
Charlie Williams marine surveyor at Charles T Theus Jerry Hogan president of M J Hogan Co Neff Macintosh president of Southern Marine Supply and David Guernsey director of Savannahs Ships of the Sea Museum attended the Propeller Club event and spent an hour apiece with Georgias two senators and the congressman from Georgias first district which includes Savannah
Senators Mack Mattingly R and Sam Nunn D and Congressman Lindsay Thomas discussed three portrelated issues with the Propeller Club representa
tives These included the harbor widening bridge replacement and reclassification of the Savannah River
Williams reported that the legislators were generally optimistic on the ports development They realize what they need to do and theyre behind it 100 percent he said adding that both political parties work together with a lot of mutual respect
Williams told the Savannah chapter at one of their monthly meetings that Congressman Thomas intended to include the bridge replacement in the demonstration projects budget Nunn and Mattingly thought this was a long shot but agreed it should be tried
Mattingly serves on the appropriations committee in the Senate which he told Williams was the place to be to properly support the interests of the Savannah Harbor You are going to have a new bridge he reportedly told Williams adding that the proceedings are going well along course
Nunn agreed Anyone that sits down and reviews the facts knows that it the bridge is warranted not just for Savannah and Georgia but for the whole southeastern United States he concluded
All three politicians were presented a ship in a bottle containing a replica of the
SS Savannah the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean Thomas joined the Savannah Propeller Club members at the evenings Salute where the National Propeller Club President Fred Hassett was the keynote speaker Williams said that 47 members of Congress attended the event an unusually high attendance given the outlying location at the Congressional Country Club
Senator Russell Long of Louisiana was given an award by the Propeller Club for his longtime support of the American Merchant Marine fleet
To top the trip off the Savannah visitors were offered an impromptu invitation from Thomas to attend a portrait unveiling at a nearby congressional office building The portrait was of Walter B Jones a North Carolinian who is the chairman of the congressional committee on the US merchant marine and fisheries The portrait will hang in the room in which the committee meets
The trip was a success Williams told the Savannah Propeller Club membership We all had a sense of accomplishment when we left just being there showing our concern and being able to meet with them face to face Thank goodness theyre all behind us Every one of them recognizes the importance of Savannah

NO SUB FOR COOPERATION
With all of todays talk of high technology and innovative equipment the people involved in the process sometimes get lost in the shuffle Dan Kerrigan president of American Container Lines holds the opinion that the key to successful intermodal transportation is working together with the tools we already have
Each mode has its own contribution to the total transportation picture and the whole exceeds the value of the sum of its parts Kerrigan suggests calling for cooperation within the industry
Darius W Gaskins Jr president and chief executive officer at Burlington Northern Railroad agrees Technology in and of itself is not the solution for us or anyone else Instead it is people and how people use technology that will provide the ultimate solution Going partners is a vital part of our intermodal philosophy
Cooperation between the transportation modes may take one of two forms formal acquisitions and more informal associations
CSX Transportations recent announcement of its intention to acquire SeaLand is a prime example of the formal cooperation arrangement SeaLands role

The International Intermodal Exposition in Atlanta combines transportation experts and the latest in equipment to become perhaps the most popular intermodal gathering in the world

as a pioneer in container shipping will certainly broaden our onestop shipping concept and will extend CSX Intermodal Services worldwide explains Richard D Sanborn chief executive officer of CSX Distribution Services adding that CSX also has an interest in smaller niche truck lines We want to be a total transportation company he says
Another way to approach a highly competitive market is the partnership a less formal way of cooperation Such an
John Swartz
approach is an alternative to the buyout
As the head of a steamship operation Kerrigan says I dont want to run a railroad
Burlington Northerns Gaskins agrees saying Well do our job well but we know others can do other jobs better than we can Its getting the whole intermodal job done that counts
To ease the relations with other modes for the most successful collaboration BN has hired people with trucking backgrounds and come to rely on third parties to represent their services to shippers and consignees declaring peace as Gaskins describes it
In addition to cooperation between modes cooperation within modes is also important This is where successful labor relations make the difference Communications in this area is key We need to do a better job of educating the rank and the file and the leadership says John Swartz president of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railway
Burlington Northern has successfully established its Expediter train run by a twoman crew with a maximum of 60 platforms and no caboose To establish this service we had to get an unprecedented agreement with our labor unions Gaskins notes He says his company explained to the labor force that business was out there but couldnt be had unless they cut costs More business would mean more train crew jobs In other words we proposed a partnership to build business and labor joined us he explains
The results speak for themselves In all of 1984 BN moved fewer than 1800 intermodal loads over the selected corridors In the first six months of Expediter they moved almost 30000 and they had a hundred or so engineers and conductors who wouldnt be working otherwise according to Gaskins
The value of such transportation concepts and the complexity that arises from the coordinated transportation systems may provide the basis for what Swartz sees as the emergence of the distributionlogistics function as the cutting edge of the management art in the 1980s He explains that in the 1940s the operations people attracted the most attention and the best people in the 1950s it was marketing in the 1960s it was finance in the 1970s it was human
Darius Gaskins
resources and in the 1980s it has been distributionlogistics
Whatever management deems most important there is no argument of the importance of transportation And there is no doubt of the increasing complexity of the industry Deregulation has forced intermodal cooperation because shippers demand singlesourced transportation that is onestop shipping for all their needs Their overriding concern is for safe quick inexpensive transport and they shun involvement with the trappings of shuffling between the modes
We must not turn customers away by seeming to be an uncontrolled crowd of agents and carriers but attract them to a coordinated team of transportation specialists dedicated to a single goal the best and lowestpriced service the customer can get for a particular movement Gaskins stresses We are in the transportationdistribution business We are not railroaders not truckers not brokers not steamship agents Believe me we cannot afford to be
Gaskins final note to his audience at the International Intermodal Exposition in Atlanta was to go one step farther We have got to understand the customers total logistical system he says Just as we have coordinated the rail and truck movement of shipments now our challenge is to closely coordinate our involvement with the customer to be able to not only respond to his needs but eventually to anticipate them and have the necessary services waiting

Since record tonnages have become an annual event Georgia Ports Authority was rapidly approaching the saturation point in terms of site availability This problem has been quickly and thoroughly remedied with the purchase of a 2200acre parcel for future terminal development The 10 million investment will position the Port of Savannah to accommodate growth well into the next century

AnchorAge
The future of the Port of Savannah takes the form of this newly acquired 2200acre parcel located just upstream from existing facilities
The property lies just onehalf mile upriver from the existing deepwater channel in the Savannah Harbor This proximity to existing facilities made the tract an ideal purchase
Importantly inland connections are already in place Both the Norfolk Southern and CSX rail systems have trackage crossing the site In addition the parcel lies at the intersection of interstate highway 95 the major northsouth artery on the US East Coast and highway 21 a major fourlane road
The property offers extensive river frontage suitable for construction of deepwater berthing Much of the Port of Savannahs recent growth has been concentrated in containerized cargo and the new acquisition has enough shoreline to accommodate eight 1000foot berths
Georgia Port Authoritys new property acquisition will provide space for eight more container berths 400 acres of container parking area terminal support services and nearly 1000 acres of prime industrial sites
GEORGIA
PORTS
AUTHORITY
Each would be backed up by 50 acres of paved open storage plus sizeable terminal support facilities
This ambitious site plan exhausts just over half of the land reserves afforded by the property Another 945 acres remain in the form of prime industrial sites These locations will be ideal for industries seeking to avoid paying the premium for waterfront footage but concerned with minimum planttodock distance
Formerly the Drakie and the Mulberry two of the many plantations which lined the Savannah River comprised the 2200acre tract More recently it was held by the BASFWyandotte Corp with an eye toward possible plant construction Economic circumstances forced the firm to abandon its expansion plans here making the land available for the recent purchase by Georgia Ports Authority
It is anticipated that the first cargo will cross the site in the early 1990s as land reserves at Garden City Terminal are exhausted Currently plans call for one or possibly two more berths to be constructed at CONTAINERPORT before the move to the new site becomes a necessity With fiscal yeartodate tonnages running 32 percent ahead of last year it can only be a matter of a few short years before the new terminal joins the ranks at the South Atlantics busiest port

Mayors Point Terminal open storage provided the ideal marshalling space for Langdale Forest Products utility poles
In recent months Brunswick has emerged to become a popular export center for utility poles While there are several reasons for the trend they can all be summarized in one proximity to the Southeasts vast forest resources
The most recent example of the phenomenon takes the form of 18000 poles that were shipped to the Rural Electrification Board REB of Bangladesh
Currently Bangladeshs electrification program compares with the US during the late 30s and early 40s Bangladeshs program is in its infancy says Jim Hickman wood preserving sales manager for Langdale Forest Products
The firm has spent the last nine months preparing 36000 poles to help the Bangladesh utility get its effort off the ground At its plant in Valdosta Georgia Lang
At 35 feet and 650 pounds apiece the
18000 utility poles constituted a major shipment for Brunswicks Mayors Point Terminal

It takes a lot of poles to electrify an entire country A consignment of 18000 which recently crossed Mayors Point Terminal will give Bangladeshs Rural Electrification Board a good start
dale has been receiving some 70 truckloads of logs daily designating an average of 15 as suitable for pole material
The selected few are debarked peeled smoothed and then classified by length and girth Next kiln drying to 25 percent moisture content assures that the wood cells will attract and retain preservative properly Preservation is accomplished by pressure treating the poles with chromated copper arsenate CCA at 175 pounds per square inch in a retort cylinder
The first 18000pole consignment was loaded aboard the MV San Eduardo which was represented in Brunswick by Southern Steamship Ryan Walsh provided the stevedoring The other half of the order is expected to traverse Mayors Point Terminal in the near future The move was expertly coordinated by Union Transport Ltd John Hall of their project department was on hand to direct loading operations for the utility poles
Langdales involvement in the forest products industry dates back to the 1880s when John W Langdale began leasing and working timber for turpentine By the late 1930s his descendants operated about 25 turpentine stills and were working nearly three million trees for naval stores Their woodpreserving business commenced in 1947
Today the parent Langdale Co works some 200000 acres of prime timberland Their forest products subsidiary operates
four manufacturing plants employing 600 people who produce treated fence posts utility poles dressed and rough lumber marine piling and construction poles Untreated dressed lumber also appears on the Langdale menu of wood products Sweetwater Tennessee and Valdosta Georgia the company headquarters are the locations of the two treating plants The Chauncey Georgia plant also played

Quality control measures at Langdale Forest Products manufacturing facilities keep the companys final product up to specs
a significant role in preparing the pole order for Bangladesh
James L Respess III president of the Langdale Co reports that the firms business interests have expanded beyond the forest products arena Were also in the motel business tires fuel and industrial saw manufacturing About 75 percent of our total activity of 75 million annually is in forest products he notes
Brunswick has been the beneficiary of Langdales decision to make foreign markets a bigger share of our total activity This represents incremental business not to the detriment of our domestic sales Respess explains
Respess reports that inititally plans called for the poles to be shipped through another port We had planned to go there because of better road access We opted for Brunswick because of the cooperation we have received Its still a little more out of the way but the cooperation has made the difference
The second half of this 36000pole shipment may not be the last Brunswick sees G Wesley Street vice president of marketing for Langdale Forest Products says that feelers extended overseas are producing results We have some tenders were looking at from Bangladesh as well as several other foreign markets he reports This is good news for the emerging poling place of the South Atlantic

If You Con Put It On A Ship
Generations of vessel watchers have wrangled over the ageold shipboat distinction While some would argue for a 100footlength breaking point others insist If you can put it on a ship its a boat A recent arrival from Australia tested the limits of either definition
Spraywinds 127foot yacht dwarfs handlers as it is unloaded from the MV Boogabilla
Measuring 127 feet in length the craft bore only slight resemblance to the traditional designs common to most marinas Constructed in the socalled Italian style and painted a light gray the yacht was best described by one veteran dock watcher who said It looks like it should fly instead of float
The impressive craft was constructed in Australia by Spray wind She displaces 104 tons across a beam of 24 feet and measures 30 feet from keel to the top of her radarcommunications mast Loading took place in Sydney and ocean transport was provided by ScanCarriers MV Boogabilla
Following discharge in Savannah the yacht traversed the Intracoastal Waterway to Miami There it will be used by its
r J1 L
new owners a Swiss financial firm in their customer relations programs After a half year stateside it will be relocated to Monte Carlo
This is another example of Savannah being the handling point for pleasure boats with originsdestinations closer to other US ports Steamship service availability and a reputation for kidglove handling are the reasons Following the
Quick precise handling coordinated by SEACO enabled the Boogabilla to be on her way before the yacht she discharged could be lowered into the water Barber Steamship Lines Captain Nick Moon representing ScanCarriers locally reported that unloading went quite smoothly despite a pesky cross wind
flawless offloading of their 35 million investment Spraywind would certainly agree

DOTTLE WASHER
DAINDPvIDGE TO PAKISTAN
They dont make bottle washers like Grandma would remember at least not at Lynch Machinery in Bainbridge Georgia A 42ton bottle washer came from Bainbridge through Savannah to link up with ocean transport via the Nedlloyd Rotterdam
The bottle washer measured 5400 cubic feet Two forklifts one 385ton and the other 25ton were used to carry the large crated equipment up the RoRo ramp on the Nedlloyd vessel Two 20foot bolsters were used underneath the cargo so the forklift blades would not break through the crating and cause any damage
A loader for the bottle washer was also part of the shipment That piece weighed 55 tons and measured 523 cubic feet
Barber Steamship Line was the agent and Schenkers International was the forwarder
The equipment traveled from Bainbridge to Savannah on extrawide trailers operated with a front and rear escort by McGil Trucking Consigned to Mrs Rafat Fakhir at Mona Lisa Fruit Juice the cargos destination was Karachi Pakistan
Frank Streeten general superintendent for Southeast Atlantic Cargo Operators SEACO stevedore for the movement noted that the cargo was discharged in Pakistan within 20 minutes He explained that the crated equipment had been transferred to a specially designed trailer inside the ship which facilitated such quick handling Total ocean transit time was four weeks

Savannah Moves Chemical Plant
Take a manufacturing facility in Alabama an exporter based in Zurich a consignee in the center of India an international transportation organization in New Jersey and a deepwater port in Georgia and what you end up with is a project shipping operation
Leschaco Inc was the freight forwarder for this movement Peter Till vice president for Leschaco explained that a chemical plant in Guntersville Alabama will be relocated to Uttar Pradesh a province in the interior of India Dismantling of the plant which produces polyester chips and resins for the textile industry took place in Scottsboro Alabama about 50 miles from Guntersville
Till further noted that the first shipment through the Port of Savannah consisted of 22 containers and 300 tons of breakbulk cargo The second shipment included the heaviest piece in the move a 92000pound piece measuring 12 feet by 14 feet by 23 feet
These moves are only the beginning Till said that there is a potential of five separate plants moving through Savannah depending on the import situation in India If such moves were made it would mean 600 containers plus a large quantity of breakbulk in the next two years
At the time of publication 70 containers will have moved through Georgia Ports Authority facilities in Savannah along with 600 to 700 tons of breakbulk Savannah was chosen because it is geographically I would say a very feasible location from Alabama Till said Another factor is the sailing transit time South Atlantic versus the Gulf one of the requirements is a quick transit time to India
The cargo was loaded onto Shipping Company of India vessels the Vishva Pankaj and the Vishva Parag These 499footlong vessels have a deadweight tonnage of approximately 16000 SCI provides a 15day frequency with their combo vessels SCI is represented in Savannah j by Harrington Steamship Agencies Maritime Labor was the stevedore
The cargo was discharged in Bombay India All pieces were meticulously marked identified preserved and packed to enable assembling at the destination in what will be a computerized facility producing chemical products for the textile industry Leschacos partner in this venture is Lutrans Ltd of Zurich Switzerland a transportation firm specializing in operations to India
An unassembled chemical plant is traveling in pieces through the Port of Savannah such as this piece which was the heaviest of the initial move

One of the major shippers of forest products through the Port of Savannah Buckeye Cellulose Corp maintains a high volume of exports Directions did an aboutface recently when two oddshaped pieces were shipped inbound
The support roller assemblies were bound for the worlds largest lime sludge kiln at Buckeyes pulp mill in Perry Florida The lime kiln will be used in the kraft chemical recovery process Rated at 715 tons of lime production per day the single kiln will replace four older lime production units
The kiln was purchased from FL Smidth Co headquartered in Copenhagen Denmark The support roller assemblies which weigh approximately 35 tons apiece were manufactured in West Germany
They were loaded onto the Arcadia Forest in Antwerp and transported from Savannah to the plant site by the Norfolk Southern railroad The kiln is expected to
begin operation in the fall of 1986
Buckeye Cellulose has utilized the Port of Savannah for over 25 years When this relationship began volumes averaged less than 3000 tons per year Today Buckeye transports 55000 to 60000 tons of forest

In the throes of a 100th anniversary celebration this year the name of Strachan Shipping is well known in Savannah It is equally well known in nearby St Simons Island where the Strachan mansion vintage 1910 stood until recently
The threestory structure suffered the unfortunate fate of not fitting in with the development plans of the new property owners Therefore the Litus Corp offered to sell the building at a cost of 1 to anyone who would move it The alternative was a bulldozer blade
One firms incompatibility with development plans turned out to be anothers ideal In stepped International Paper Realty of Hilton Head Island South Carolina with dollar bill in hand The firm purchased the mansion for transfer to Daufuskie Island South Carolina where it will grace the entrance to the new Haig Point development a 1000acre residentialrecreational complex
Not surprisingly the movement of the mansion was a study in logistics with the landside knowhow provided by the Oswalt House Moving Co First jacks were used to elevate the 300ton structure so it could be placed on a wheeled steel frame Next winch trucks and bulldozers combined to move the house down a specially constructed ramp to two waiting barges The delicacy of the operation dictated that the 200foot trip took six hours which calculates to a blistering 0063 miles per hour
The barges Loveland numbers 21 and 29 provided a massive base for floating the house to its new home Stevens Towing used three tugs and its considerable expertise to negotiate the mansion through the narrow openings provided by

GROWTH
VS
PROFITABILITY
The major obstacle facing the transportation industry in the next few years is maintaining profitability according to DJ Kerrigan president of Atlantic Container Line
Many factors emerged as major players in the profitability of transportation at the third annual International Intermodal Exposition held in Atlanta These included regulations subsidies corporate structures and equipment flexibility
While many simply work to increase cargo volumes thinking increased profits will result John Swartz president of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe Railway suggests that while there may be almost guaranteed growth in terms of volumes the jury is still out on whether that predicted volume growth will produce the requisite return for the capital time and effort expended to capture that growth
Hindrances
Swartz notes that many failed to visualize our deregulated transportation world Instead of the ability to raise prices covering higher costs we have realized the freedom to lower prices in an attempt to hold market share The profitability margin shrinks But if we are going to see US goods and products compete effective on world markets there can be no thought of returning to the inefficiencies of a regulated national transportation system he is quick to add
Another impediment to the profitability of transportation is the maintenance of subsidy programs which Michael Elliott president of Barber Blue Sea NA says increase the chances of steamship overcapacity The Koreans may be waking up to the fact that the world isnt bottomless he predicts
Facilitators
Transportation rates obviously influence a transportation corporations profitability margin What is the outlook for rate relief Elliott says everyone even importers realize the rates wont continually go down They realize that if the carriers cant live they cant do business either he notes
Several concepts have emerged as answers to the profitability problem CSX Transportation has restructured in response to changing marketing conditions and the intense competition facing us in
Michael Elliott
the transportation marketplace and the need to increase our companys return on its asset base Richard D Sanborn chief executive officer of CSX Distribution Services told the Exposition audience
In addition he said his company hopes to be moving 90 percent of their intermodal traffic through totally mechanized facilities by the end of the year
Such equipment changes have been looked to by many as the key to maintaining acceptable profitability Edward B Burwell is president of Southern Railway Co an operating subsidiary of Norfolk Southern Corp He
Edward Burwell
says technologies such as the roadrailer if they live up to their potential which are truly bimodal as opposed to intermodal will give us operating margins not available in other forms of intermodal transportation
While Burwell points to other technologies such as the high productivity integral train as being interesting concepts he says somebodys going to have to come forward with the dollars to build one suggesting the profitability analyses may preclude some of the new glamorous technologies
One other facilitator of profitability perhaps the most important is the people Burlington Northern as described by Darius W Gaskins Jr president and chief executive officer is utilizing the social and business contacts of BN employees within the Springfield region Such efficiencies contribute to the fact that Burlington Northern has decreased its sales force by about 50 percent since 1981
BN has also worked with the labor force in getting an agreement allowing the operation of their Expediter a lowlabor shorthaul train We simply went to our unions with the facts on potential business in that Expediter territory and explained that we stood a good chance of getting that business if we could hold our costs down in order to be competitive They evaluated our proposal and the facts and decided to help he explains
Flexibility
Perhaps the key to successful profit margins is flexibility flexibility of the equipment and flexibility to conform to meet the consumers needs Burwell says we may very well see railroads owning singlewell doublestack cars which provide more flexibility than the largercapacity articulated doublestack cars The problem is utilizing equipment to full capacity If you can fill it up in both directions then it may be profitable he points out
BBS Elliott notes that three types of steamship carriers will emerge large vertically integrated door to door carriers large horizontally integrated port to port carriers and smaller specialized carriers The trick is to know which one works best where He notes that none is necessarily better suited than the other Theyll all probably succeed or fail on a combination of their ability and the market

Reform
FOR COMPETITIVE GEORGIA
A motor carrier reform bill which supersedes rigid economic regulations that have been on the statutes since the midthirties has been signed by Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris
This bill puts Georgia truckers in parity with nationwide trucking noted Joe Fannon director of traffic and tariffs for the Georgia Ports Authority
The bill culminates 19 months of intense efforts by the Georgia Freight Bureau working with the Georgia Public Service Commission to reform the economic regulations governing Georgias motor carriers The effort was strongly supported by the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade the Georgia Ports Authority and the Georgia Textile Manufacturers Association
Georgia motor carriers were divided on the issue Those having operating rights franchises were opposed to the change while those without such rights were in favor of the bill
Nat Welch is executive vice president of the Georgia Freight Bureau which represents 435 southeastern shippers and receivers of freight He explained that the two greatest concerns were easing entry and providing for more pricing flexibility
The granting of statewide authority to the 18 motor carriers now holding Class A certificates and the shifting of the burden of proof from the applicant to the protestant in entry cases will provide a system that is more responsive to the service needs of Georgia shippers he said
Prior to passage of this bill Georgia trucking companies operated under two sets of rules The Motor Carrier Act of 1980 allowed trucking firms a significant amount of freedom when operating on interstate routes On intrastate routes however Georgias Public Service Commission had maintained strict controls on prices and decisions on which companies could provide service between which cities
Passage of the bill gives Georgia shippers and receivers a great opportunity to improve their motor carrier service and to do it with competitive prices Many companies and individuals saw the need for this regulatory change and we appreciate the work of all involved to insure the passsage of this bill said Frank Jones vice presidenttransportation at
Southwire Co in Carrollton Georgia and chairman of the Georgia Freight Bureau Ad Hoc Committee on Motor Carrier Reform
The bill was introduced in the Georgia House of Representatives by Rep Sonny Watson of Warner Robins He received strong support from Rep Larry Walker of Perry Gov Harris floor leader Sen A1 Holloway of Albany sponsored the bill in the Senate with the strong support of Sen Ed Barker of Warner Robins and Sen Wayne Gamer of Carrollton
From a shipping perspective the heart of the bill was the relaxation of rigid entry requirements Not only did carriers have to
Georgias legislature and governor have signed into action a bill further deregulating Georgias trucking industry
prove a need for their service but they had to prove that entry into the business would not financially damage a carrier with existing rights This was almost an impossible burden of proof said Welch
The bill also provides other economic benefits for shippers such as authorizing singlesource leasing providing for compensated intercorporate hauling and repealing outdated laws and restrictions dealing with carrier reporting requirements and weight limitations

NEW ARRIVALS
Vessels of Kristian Jebsens Rederi call Brunswick regularly often to discharge salt from Inagua in the Bahamas Bill Prendergast manager of Brunswick Ship Agency local agents for the line said they average one call per month Marine Port Terminals was the stevedore for this move and Vulcan provided its own freight forwarding services
The Tinnes loaded crushed granite at the Colonels Island dry bulk export facility in Brunswick
TINNES CALLS COLONELS ISLAND
Gravel lured the MV Tinnes into the Brunswick Harbor for her first time ever She traveled to Georgia Ports Authoritys dry bulk export facility on Colonels Island where she took on 6845 short tons of crushed granite number seven stone
The Tinnes built in 1983 is part of the Kristian Jebsens Rederi steamship line The Norwegianflag vessel is a 10110dwt 387foot bottom with a grain capacity of 9685 cubic meters Operated by a 14man crew she travels 145 knots
The Tinnes is also equipped with a 1800tph selfunloader with a loopbelt discharge system This being an outbound move the Tinnes relied on GPAs ship loader The cargo arrived at Colonels Island via 80 railcars and was transferred directly to the shiploading conveyance system The origin of this cargo was a Vulcan Materials quarry in Madras Georgia
The cargo was bound for Arawak Cay on the Bahamian Island Nassau The Bahamian government has bought the gravel for asphalt material to be used in road construction Jim Edwards manager of sales and transportation services for Vulcan said that the cargo was discharged at Arawak in four hours
Edwards also noted that Brunswick was chosen as Vulcans seaport because it is the most economical in terms of location and resulting transportation costs He said that he expects a similar shipment to move in June 1986 depending on how quickly they use the product just sent he added
TOKAI NEWDUILD
The New York Rainbow fresh off a February 1986 launch date counted Savannah among the ports called on her maiden voyage Flying the colors of Tokai Line the vessel discharged 29400 tons of steel during her stopover The cargo originated in Tokai Kimitsu Kashima and Muroran
Registered in Panama the New York Rainbow is a 553foot vessel operated by Tokai Shipping Co Ltd She is easily worked by two 40ton gantries on deck and weighs in at 30382 deadweight tons Her service speed is 15 knots and she is manned by a Korean crew of 21 She was built at the Kurushima Shipyard
The New York Rainbow is one of 25 ships which call Savannah on behalf of Tokai In addition to inbound consignments of steel the line specializes in carrying Georgiamined kaolin clay to Japanese paper manufacturers In fact Tokai lays claim to the record for bagged clay loaded aboard a single vessel in the Port of Savannah
Stevens Shipping is local agent for Tokai and also stevedored the New York Rainbow

HANJIN
Doubletake In Savannah
Two more newbuilds have sailed into Savannahs harbor bringing Hanjin Container Lines US East CoastFar East service fleet to half of its eventual size
The Hanjins Long Beach and Yokohama join the Hanjin New York which called Georgia Ports Authoritys CONTAINERPORT earlier this year Together these three ships will call Savannah every 2025 days When the Hanjins Kobe Hong Kong and Keelung come on stream the frequency will be increased to every 10 days Foreign ports for the service include Yokohama Kobe Busan Hong Kong and Keelung
These vessels are being built by Hitachi Zosen Corp at Innoshima Works Hiroshima PREF Japan The 35800 dwt vessels measure 791 feet long travel at 22 knots and can carry 2668 TEUs including space for 99 refrigerated TEUs
On the Hanjin Long Beachs maiden voyage she loaded 206 TEUs and discharged 232 TEUs for a total of 6402 tons On the Hanjin Yokohamas maiden voyage she loaded 316 TEUs and discharged 269 TEUs for a total of 7715 tons Some of the products moving in these containers included clay aluminum scrap woodpulp waste paper chemicals kraft linerboard machinery textiles and wood products
Such cargo represents some of the top imports and exports through the State of Georgia and the southeastern United States Savannah is the only South Atlantic port of call for the Hanjin service and hence sees a lot of this cargo year round Hanjin has its own agency office in Savannah and Palmetto Shipping Stevedoring Corp is Hanjins regular stevedore

On the land side Skinner of the Georgia Motor Trucking Association foresees better utilization of current technologies as more states accept them Triple trailers already in use on the West Coast to a limited controlled extent may become more common
Finally Burlington Northerns Cane foresees a reinforcement of the developing partnership between truck and rail He says some buy outs may occur but not necessarily He predicts instead more pursuit of specialized niches If you try to blend too much you may inhibit the entrepreneurial spirit he suggests
Despite all the troubles in todays transportation industry the spirit has not dwindled Many of us pull up our boot straps and turn to the efficiencies provided by technology to solve some of the problems
The information coming out of computer applications and various research is often intimidating yet it is now more valuable than ever The transformation of the industry be it evolutionary or revolutionary should result in a streamlined efficient industry one that can maintain profitability as it supplies nations throughout its worldwide network

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
This is the time of the year when trade publications are filled with fiscal yearend statistics trumpeting the performance of the worlds ports Our annual update beginning on page 23 provides a FY 86 recap for Georgias ports
While these year end figures certainly provide valuable information it is important that we in the transportation sector analyze short term performance in the fight of longer term trends While currency ratios politics the world economy climate and many other factors may produce spikes on the graph the overall outlook for world trade remains positive
While estimates vary most would agree that the 1980s will produce a doubling of international commerce over the previous decade For the 90s there is no reason to expect that this trend will abate Pricing emergence of new buyers and suppliers and economic and monetary factors will certainly change trade patterns but the net result will certainly fall on the plus side of the ledger
The challenge for transportation providers therefore is to move outside the framework of the bottom fine corporate plan to longrange strategic planning It is
incumbent upon us to generate today the concepts in service and technology that will meet the needs of the everchanging marketplace Furthermore this exercise must take the form of a studied scientific analysis We must not fall prey to the trap of relegating strategic management to playing crystal ball when what we need to be playing is hard ball
The change is much in evidence today Historically the transportation industry was a classic case of reactionary management Whenever the hue and cry from shippers became unbearable change became an unavoidable necessity
A new scenario is emerging Fuel costs overtonnaging labor costs interest rates monetary exchange deregulation these are just a few of the many factors that have helped spawn a whole new generation of transportation concern those that plan and manage strategically Unprecedented attention and resources are devoted to new technology and delivery systems Transportation providers are not only listening to shippers like never before they are talking among themselves even across modal fines Of course the ultimate extension of intermodal cooperation is the emergence of the total transportation
company
At the recent Intermodal Expo in Atlanta one of the speakers pointed out that logistician is the hot job class for the 80s In the corporate scheme of things the individual who pushes the transportation buttons is assuming an increasingly important niche in the organizational structure This comes as no surprise in view of the fact that transportations share of total delivered cost is considerable particularly in the case of international sales
Our challenge is to respond to this wellheeled professional It is not enough to structure our response for this quarter or this year Our transportation and distribution services must mirror the increased sophistication that will certainly characterize the transportation buyer of the future
Its no revelation that the transportation industry has always been shipper driven Its just that now we have to learn to shift gears much more quickly and frequently that ever before The shipper is still no 1

The history of our United States might easily be traced to the history of mineral exploration As Jay Ellis Ransom writes in his Range Guide to Mines and Minerals Our heritage of the Old West is no more than a single brief chapter in the long story of mining and minerals
Years Ago They Prospected Because of the California Fortyniners and their predecessors major mining districts in the US have been discovered surveyed and developed Some produced fortunes for the miners and some did not
Just as minerals play an important role in US history they were also key to the development of civilization as we know it Long before the California gold rush as early as twelve to fourteen thousand years
BC raw nuggets of metallic gold and copper were pounded into jewelry in Egypt By 4000 BC geology and the arts
of mining and prospecting were highly developed Soon smelting was discovered and the use of alloyed metals became more popular As a settled civilization emerged out of a basically huntingfishinggathering community the use and demand for minerals increased astonishingly Ransom writes
More recently yet still before the gold drive to California the State of Georgia hosted the nations first major gold rush
In 1828 the gold boom started as news spread of gold discovered in North Georgia Within a year thousands of
Years before the California Fortyniners Georgia hosted the countrys first gold rush Facilities such as this placer gold mine in Lumpkin County became common sights in northeast Georgia
miners trekked to the Peach State In 1830 a US Army major described the hodgepodge of whites Indians halfbreeds boys of fourteen and old men of seventy who sought their fortunes in the river beds and hillsides of northeast Georgia
Government soon evolved around the gold towns and Dahlonega was named the

While Georgia is not a major contributor to the gold market these days the market does flourish According to the Bureau of Mines Minerals Yearbook in 1984 1248 billion in refined gold bullion was exported from the United States and 2293 billion in refined bullion was imported In fact gold was the number one metal exported from the US in terms of value that year followed by scrap steel and then steel mill products Steel mill products held the number one import spot for metals into the US
Another major category of minerals is the nonmetal minerals which include the industrial minerals often transported through the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick The number one nonmetal mineral export from the US in 1984 in terms of value and excluding mineral fuels was phosphate rock 16 billion followed by diammonium phosphates and then diamonds The number one import nonmetal mineral was diamonds 29 billion followed by nitrogen compounds and then zinc pigments and compounds
Georgia Prospects Are Promising At the Port of Savannah Georgia kaolin clay ranked the number one export mineral with a value of 1323 million being transported in 1984 The number one nonmetal mineral excluding mineral fuels to be imported through the Port of Savannah in 1984 was gypsum rock with a value of 208 million
The value of Georgias nonfuel mineral production in 1984 reached a record high of 940 million exceeding the former record established in 1983 by 90 million Georgia ranked seventh in the nation in the value of nonfuel mineral production The US Bureau of Mines contributed this recordhigh mineral sales to a strong demand by the construction industry for mineral materials and by the paper plastics rubber and whiteware industries for kaolin
Readying minerals for shipment often involves more than simply digging them out of the ground Procedures such as air kiln drying add value prior to delivery
Kaolin Is Georgias Number One Export In 1984 the Georgia kaolin industry consisted of 19 companies operating 83 mines in a ninecounty area Even with the worldwide recession Georgia kaolin production reached a record high in 1984 with a value of 5627 million surpassing
the previous years record by 393 million A list of Georgias kaolin producers of 1984 and their location provided by the US Bureau of Mines follows

Fall Line Is Georgia Treasure All of these companies are located along the PiedmontCoastal Plain fall line eastcentral part of the state This was formed 5090 million years ago by the weathering of silicates such as feldspar and mica Rushing streams carried crystals seaward to the fall line and deposited them in quiet lagoons at the oceans edge Among other things these beds form the extensive deposits of the remarkably pure and relatively gritfree kaolinite bought for uses around the world
Georgia Kaolin Co is a subsidiary of Combustion Engineering and a good example of a Georgia kaolin producer working the fall line The company ships about 200000 short tons per year in bulk form mainly to Europe and Japan In addition they ship about 27000 tons of slurry kaolin liquid and 72000 tons in bags or containers per year William C Bill Wiggins manager of export distribution for Georgia Kaolin explains that most of the kaolin travels inland by rail He adds that international markets represent about onethird of the total business He also notes that all of the companys international kaolin shipments travel through the Port of Savannah
Kaolin clay must meet rigid specifications both in its transportation and processing Many of the quality control measures to which kaolin is subjected revolve around its applications in various industries such as paper and paint The aim of these steps is purity whiteness and saturation of color
The keystone of Georgia Kaolin processing is accurate control of particle size distribution This is done by
centrifugal classification of slurried kaolin which separates the coarse and fine particles Continuous chemical leaching improves whiteness and brightness and colorimpairing impurities are removed by magnetic separation Large rotary vacuum filters dewater the slurry and delamination separates the kaolin stacks imparting improved brightness and opacity The entire operation is monitored by quality control chemists
Kaolin clay is used mainly in the paper industry to make glossy papers Frank Camargo international sales specialist for Englehard Corp another major shipper through the Port of Savannah explains
Potash transported in bulk form is a common import at Brunswicks East River Terminal
that marketing potential within the paper industry stands head and shoulders above the rest Other uses of kaolin include the paint industry the ceramics industry and rubber plastics adhesives and related polymer industries Finally the pharmaceutical industry uses kaolin as an absorbent in several diarrhea medications
Bauxite Withstands the Heat Another subsidiary of Combustion Engineering CE Minerals also mines

minerals around the fall line area At its Mulcoa Plant Mullite Company of America CE Minerals mines mulcoa bauxite This type of bauxite is very much similar to kaolin Wiggins explains It is a clay that is high in aluminum It is extruded apron dried and rotary kiln dried at a temperature between 2800 to 3200 degrees Fahrenheit This produces a hard bonded material that can withstand a lot of heat before it cracks The more aluminum it contains the more heat it can withstand Wiggins explains
Bauxite is used for fire bricks in structures such as kilns and boilers It may be crushed and grounded for use in mortar or spray coatings CE Minerals recently shipped 11072 short tons of bauxite from China to Andersonville Georgia where it was then processed at the companys Mulcoa plant The shipment moved through the Port of Brunswick Georgia
CE Minerals Mulcoa plant is currently exporting approximately 200000 short tons a year
Fullers Earth is Another With Varied Users A different category of clay mined in Georgia is fullers earth Fullers earth is a commercial term that carries no implication as to origin and requires no specific mineral or chemical composition For the past halfcentury the term has been defined as clay that is naturally active in the bleaching of oils in contrast to some clays and other earth materials that develop bleaching qualities upon activation by various chemical treatments
Yet in recent years less than onetenth of the United States fullers earth has been used for the clarification of oils so the old definition seems unjustified At the twelfth
Loading bulk minerals into hopper railcars provides an efficient way of handling and transport
Todays prospectors have replaced the panning method with sophisticated core sampling technology
national Clay Minerals Conference Florida State University geologists suggested using the term to refer to any extremely finegrained earthy material that has absorptive power sufficient to make it of economic importance
A variety of fullers earth mined by Englehard Corp is attapulgite It is the
principal member of these sorptive clays Attapulgite has a wide variety of industrial applications Colloidal grades are used as thickening gelling and stabilizing agents in products as diverse as paints and fertilizer solutions Sorptive grades are used as decolorizing and clarifying agents floor absorbents pesticide carriers catalysts and refining aids Englehards Camargo explains that the company mines this mineral in Attapulgus Georgia

Harbor Widening Agreement
Signed
History again is made in Savannah The Chatham County Commission and the federal government have pioneered a partnership for port development
Commission Chairman Charlie Brooks and Robert Dawson assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works have signed an agreement providing for the state and federal governments to share the costs of widening a section of the Savannah Harbor
In speaking at a ceremony held at the Savannah Hyatt Regency overlooking the river Dawson said the agreement is an affirmation that continued water resource development is vital to the nations economic health and that project development can continue in spite of cutbacks in federal funding
This is a model for future port development projects said Dawson This is a great day for Savannah a great day for Georgia and a great day for waterresource developments all over the United States
The Savannah Harbor is one of several dozen costsharing agreements to be executed before June 30 1986 These agreements are between the federal government and nonfederal sponsors for public works projects funded and authorized for construction by Public Law 9988 Expressing the Administrations commitment to new costsharing partnerships with project sponsors they further water development through the
Robert Dawson assistant secretary of the Army for Civil Works explained the harbor widening project for the Savannah Harbor as a model for future port developments
Army Corps of Engineers Civil Works program Dawson said
The federal government will provide 7510000 of the currently estimated 13724000 project with local assurers providing the remaining 6214000 This includes 3720000 in lands easements and rights of way The Chatham County Commission has committed to the project as the local assurer Although the county is responsible for 25 percent of the cost the state will provide the funds County Manager Pat Salerno told reporters
The project calls for widening 56 miles of the Savannah Harbor from 400 feet to
500 feet between the Figs Island turning basin and Kings Island turning basin Completion of the project will allow safer and more efficient passage of the larger vessels now calling at the Port of Savannah
All widening will be toward the Hutchinson Island shore From the Talmadge Bridge to the Kings Island turning basin there will be no change in channel alignment simply a 100foot widening From the Talmadge Bridge south to Fig Island turning basin there will also be a slight straightening of the channel Approximately 246 million cubic yards of material will be dredged for the project
The federal share of the widening project is included in House and Senate bills that are awaiting the presidents signature
Work will begin when sufficient funds are appropriated by the state legislature for the local share plus an additional 10 percent to provide a reserve for cost overrun The current schedule calls for the contract to be advertised in February or March 1987 with work scheduled to begin about April
1987 It is estimated that the project will take about 18 months to complete

The first half of this decade brought major economic changes that are likely to continue and even to accelerate CSX is wellpositoned to capitalize on the trends affecting all its business but each will require a specialized strategy tailored to its evolving markets As a result CSX announced a major restructuring to improve profitability and rates of return and to increase shareholder wealth
So states the 1986 annual report of CSX Corp The companys transportation and natural resources businesses have been segmented into four strategic areas transportation energy technology and properties Concurrently the CSX rail units have been reorganized into three customer and assetfocused groups distribution services rail transport and equipment

agement and encourages entrepreneurial initiative through increased operational independence the annual report continues
At the 1986 International Intermodal Exposition Richard Sanborn added We believe that these realignments will help us avoid problems experienced by the consolidated large systems and in turn will provide us opportunities to improve productivity and service Our longterm goal is to offer integrated services via rail highway water and pipeline or the best combination of those modes and to manage our business groups in such a way as to benefit customers as well as shareholders
CSX was bom just five and a half years ago yet its roots reach back to the very origins of railroads in the US when the very first common carrier railroad the BO was chartered in 1827 In 1980 CSX brought together the Chessie and Seaboard families of railroads CO and BO on one side and the SeaboardLNGeorgia group on the other side This consolidation has enabled us to introduce singlesystem service throughout much of the eastern half of the nation Sanborn noted

cranes trolley speed which is 200 feet per minute The cranes gantry rate of 440 feet per minute makes them capable of matching the speed of GPAs container cranes
An electrohydraulic drive runs the cranes operations with three electric motors two 100hp and one 300hp These provide power to hydraulic pumps which in turn power hydraulic motors to hoist trolley and gantry The main turbocharged Cummins engine offers 425 hp at 1800 rpm
The cab is what Frost called operatororiented It is heated and air conditioned with fullview windows All functions may be controlled from the cab Its built comfortable for operations Frost added
Inside the cab is a Kruger loadindication system This automatic weighing system immediately notifies the operator of any overloads or slack ropes Other special features are the cranes pitch roll and skew controls which allow the Translift to pick up boxes that are not on a level or horizontal plane with the crane For example the operator is able to skew five degrees in each direction without having to move the Translift in order to line up with the container

SECOND INTERNATIONAL
CONCOURSE
SET FOR HARTSFIELD
A contract to begin construction of Phase I of the second international concourse at Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is being awarded to Atlantabased HolderRussell Construction Co The firm submitted the low bid of 935 million which will include three additional aircraft gates office space operations areas and the construction of a bridge linking the threelevel concourse to the existing Federal Inspection Services FIS area
Additional expenses for loading bridges and the extension of the underground fueling system will bring the total cost for Phase I to 12 million Groundbreaking took place in July with an estimated construction time of twelve months
The new international concourse which eventually will be connected to the airports South Terminal opposite the existing sixgate north international concourse is included in the airports 20year master plan and has been in the preliminary design stages for the past 18 months Construction is necessary at this time according to Atlantas Commissioner of Aviation Calvin Carter because of the airports rapid growth in international traffic
Between 1971 and 1980 when we opened our new passenger terminal we experienced a fiftyfold increase in international passengers Carter notes We have handled more than one million international passengers in each subsequent year The number of weekly departures has increased from 35 to more than 75 and we have tripled the number of international destinations with seven new cities added in 1986 alone
Running concurrently with the construction of the new concourse is a modification of the existing FIS area Plans call for a split operation that will integrate a modified Red DoorGreen Door Customs operation The move is designed to accommodate an increase in the processing of arriving international passengers from the current 1200 per hour to 1600 per hour by the end of the year when the new system becomes operational
Ultimately when the three new international gates open next summer we expect that 3000 arriving passengers per hour will pass through formalities Carter predicts
After the completion of Phase I of the new concourse four additional gates will be built in Phase II for an eventual total of 13 international gates all accommodating newgeneration widebody aircraft

During fiscal year 1986 a tanker equipped with sails called the Port of Savannah and an oldtimer to the port NYK Lines celebrated their 100th anniversary A new tug company Crescent Towing Salvage sailed into port and an annex to the Seamans Home was built for the sailors on containerships who dont have the time to get into town
YEAR IN REVIEW
Fiscal year 1986 ended June 30 was definitely a dynamic time for the Georgia Ports Authority in Savannah Once again records were set with 68 million tons of cargo crossing the docks Georgia Ports Authority is proud to announce an 115 percent increase in total tonnages handled at the Port of Savannah over the previous years record To say the least change pervades every aspect of the Savannah transportation arena
Liquid bulk handling set another record with 13 million tons passing through the pipe network to and from GPAs 22 millionbarrel tank farm Breakbulk and rollonrolloff cargoes handled at GPAs CONTAINERPORT increased 31 percent for a new total of 116144 tons
Leading the port in its landmark year was as usual containerized cargo For the fifth year in a row container tonnages set a new record In fiscal year 1986 38 million tons of containerized cargo were picked by GPAs highspeed container cranes This represents a 285 percent increase over FY85 numbers For the past five years GPAs containerized tonnage has maintained an average increase of 225 percent per year
Savannah is the only South Atlantic port to provide doublestack rail service
THE NEW PORTSCAPE
To accommodate these whopping numbers Georgia Ports Authority completed construction on its fifth container berth in FY86 Accepting its first ship in the winter of 1985 the fifth berth measures 1000 feet in length and is backed up by 60 acres of pavement for the storage of containers either on their chassis or in stacks Immediately dockside are 88 hookups for refrigerated containers
Three new container cranes were purchased for the new berth These new cranes boast extra outreach distances and greater height above the dock allowing easy handling of the largest containerships in the world Rated at 45 picks per hour the cranes rank among the fastest in the world All of the ports nine container cranes offer a backreach
Three new cranes erected in conjunction with the container berth five project provide additional height and outreach to accommodate thirdgeneration containerships
Narrow profile on three newest units permits multiple craning up to five at a time
of 1135 feet accommodating the most complex of restowage plans along the facilitys 200foot margin width In addition the outreach has been extended to 135 feet and the lift above dock to 985 feet accommodating containerships with stacks of containers fivehigh on deck
Container berth five brings CONTAINERPORT totals to 4675 lineal feet of berthing 245 acres of paved storage nine cranes 22 lanes of truck interchange eight rail spurs in the field and two rail tracks directly underneath the cranes The area is further backed up by 402800 square feet of consolidated
freight station 270 hookups for refrigerated containers 68000 square feet of cold storage and nine straddle cranes
The area utilized by container berth five was previously two breakbulk berths Georgia Ports Authority is gradually consolidating all breakbulk activity in Savannah at its Ocean Terminal downriver from CONT AINERPORT which is located at Garden City Terminal
To accommodate this shift in breakbulk activity GPA completed construction on Warehouse III at Ocean
Terminal This warehouse adds another 200000 square feet of covered storage bringing the Ocean Terminal storage total to 1622760 square feet The warehouse stands 1250 feet from berth 13 an area that was renovated last year
Designed to provide the ultimate speed and efficiency the building eases the entry of cargo from truck or rail Two 24footwide ramps with an eightfoothigh guard wall deliver forklifts into the concrete and metal structure Twelve truckloading doors are equipped with watertight handling seals and a covered rail dock runs the length of the building
The warehouse measures 753 feet in length and 279 feet in width The height extends from 24 feet at the sides to 33 feet high at its apex One central fire wall is the only obstruction in over 5850000 cubic feet of storage space The building is equipped with an advanced preaction fire protection system This system isolates and minimizes damage by dividing the warehouse into six zones each protected individually by the total 2356 sprinkler heads installed
More open paved storage has also been constructed at Ocean Terminal Located adjacent to the transit sheds 15 acres provide easy access to and from the docks bringing the total paved open storage at Ocean Terminal to 625 acres
As GPA develops its terminal facilities to continue improved service to shippers and carriers the Port of Savannah also is improving its service capabilities at the same time One example Savannah is the only South Atlantic port to provide doublestack rail service
In the fall of 1985 a doublestack train pulled onto the port property for the first time These trains provide for the stacking of two containers on a specially designed railcar This service provides savings in the 2040 percent range The doublestack service of the South Atlantic is a venture of US Lines utilizing CSX
Ongoing improvements continue GPAs plan to make Ocean Terminal its Savannah breakbulk nucleus
Transportation and the Georgia Ports Authority
Every Wednesday the train leaves Savannah via CSX 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 arriving back at the South Atlantic port on Sunday
The innovative doublestack 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 carried including the 96 highcube
With doublestack equipment the lower container clears the rails by just nine inches to provide adequate overhead clearances for underpasses and railroad truss bridges Savannah was fortunate in that it did not require any adjustments in its rail infrastructure in order to accept the special train onto its port property
DOWN THE ROAD
Another good fortune has befallen upon the Georgia Ports Authority with a tract of land becoming available upriver from Garden City Terminal Previously owned by the BASFWyandotte Corp the 2200acre tract was purchased by GPA for 10 million Plans call for the development of eight 1000foot container berths each backed up by at least 100 acres of paved storage plus sizable terminal support facilities
Inland connections for the yettobenamed terminal are already in place with both the Norfolk Southern Corp and CSX Transportation having rail trackage on the site In addition the
Equipment containers and tanks are some of the cargoes that utilize the open storage at Ocean Terminal
parcel lies at the intersection of Interstate 95 the major northsouth artery on the US East Coast and Georgia Highway 21
With container tonnages increasing so drastically each year GPA anticipates the first cargo to cross the site in the early 1990s Currently plans call for up to two more container berths to be constructed at Garden City Terminal before the move to the new site
Other plans for Garden City Terminal include the paving of approximately 134
more acres for additional chassis and container storage on various sites located throughout the terminal This project will be staged over a fouryear period In addition plans are being finalized for the construction of the sixth container berth at CONTAINERPORT with a special upgraded marginal wharf designed and equipped to handle the larger class container vessels and new container cranes The 1000foot increment will push total container berthing to over a mile
A 28percent increase in containerized tonnage means CONTAINERPORT is bustling with
activity

YEAR IN REVIEW
The barge terminals on the tririvers system in Georgia continue to operate with the advantage given them by a rock relocation project in Florida That advantage is a more consistent ninefoot channel which the barge operators need for profitable shipments
On the Flint River the completion of several construction projects increases the advantages for the Bainbridge barge terminal Phase one has been completed on a tank farm for Chemical Enterprises
Inc A shipper of liquid fertilizer solutions Chemical Enterprises now has access to two tanks each with a capacity for one million gallons and five other tanks each with a capacity for 45000 gallons The company also has the capability of mixing and blending products at their facility in Bainbridge Chemical Enterprises began using the 148acre facility in May 1986
Other improvements at the Bainbridge terminal include the completion of a new 20000squarefoot warehouse bringing
BOTTOM LEFT Tanks have been built for Chemical Enterprises for the storage of fertilizer solutions that are transported through the barge terminal in Bainbridge The tanks stand next to the 20000squarefoot warehouse that has just
been completed
BOTTOM RIGHT Many times grains such as the highvolume oats in Bainbridge are stored in the newly enlarged transit shed at dockside
Barges provide a costeffective alternative for the shipment of many agricultural products
the total warehousing space at Bainbridge to 87000 square feet The new structure is a laminated timber structure with an arch frame and asphalt roof Fertilizer products are likely candidates for the building since their large quantities were in part responsible for its addition These products include potash and urea
The transit shed at Bainbridge has been renovated further improving the facilities at the barge terminal A 6000squarefoot addition doubles the transit space for the various cargoes passing through Oftentimes grains such as oats com and wheat are stored temporarily in this transit shed
In FY86 125740 tons of bulk cargoes were handled at Brunswick Oats held the number one spot with 25459 tons Oats also showed the largest increase over FY85 numbers with an additional 14260 tons handled in FY86 The number two spot in increased tonnage went to urea with 10523 tons handled in FY85 and 23360 tons handled in FY86
The Columbus barge terminal on the Chattahoochee River also witnessed drastically increased tonnage in FY86
In fact the terminals tonnage more than doubled from 30421 tons in FY85 to 72019 for a 137 percent increase This was due to the doubling of liquid caustic soda volumes along with a new cargo for the terminal crude oil At least some of this crude oil comes from Venezuelan oil wells Uses for the crude oil vary and include jet fuel diesel fuel lubricating oil stocks and asphalts

RUNSWICKCOLONELS ISLA

The flat storage building the largest lamihUted arch structure in Georgia provides 135000 square
feet of storage
BRUNSWIG

THE NEW PORTSCAPE
The 2200acre island owned by Georgia Ports Authority in Brunswick might not be recognized by someone who hasnt visited in a few years For now Colonels Island boasts a new stateoftheart terminal built to handle export dry bulk cargoes
A 580foot dock has been built backed up by a 135000squarefoot flat storage building and a highspeed shiploading system Dry bulk cargoes arrive either by truck or rail
The Colonels Island Railroad owned and operated by the Georgia Ports Authority has onsite switching yards and a 125mile shortline connection to the CSX Transportation rail line The Norfolk Southern railroad has a switching agreement with Seaboard so that both can jointly serve the industrial sites Motor carriers also have easy access to the Colonels Island bulk terminal which is located on US Highway 17 less than three minutes away from Interstate 95 the major northsouth artery on the East Coast
Cargo arriving by truck may be unloaded using a special truck dump with an integrated scale Loads of up to 60 tons may be accepted Three acres of truck turning area further ease motor carrier movements
Cargo arriving by rail may empty into one of two dual railcar unloaders each capable of dumping two 62foot hoppers simultaneously Two pits separate edible and inorganic materials from corrosive and noncontaminable materials A 600car storage yard and two rail loops are provided to accommodate the unit trains that are becoming more and more common to bulk shipments
The bulk facility has been designed with flexibility in mind Dry bulk products may travel from the rail pits either direct to vessel or into storage
Other products may be transferred from a rail pit or truck dump while cargo is simultaneously moving from storage to vessel A number of combinations ensure that the product continues to flow
Inside the flat storage building six separate bays segregate cargo A dustproof divider isolates edible from nonedible products A 2000tonperhour scraperreclaimer traverses the building loading cargo onto a conveyor belt on its way to the transfer tower
At the transfer tower a surge bin allows continuous shiploading operations despite interruptions in reclaimer or railcar unloading operations The capacity of the 600ton surge bin equals about 15 minutes of vessel loading
From the transfer tower the product travels via conveyor to the wheeled shiploader The shiploader moves up and down the dock stretching out to 94 feet over the vessel and positioning itself over the proper holds Working at a rate of 2400 tons per hour the shiploaders chute telescopes cargo into the hold and a spoon tucks cargo into the comers of the hold securing a level fill
The Colonels Island bulk facility utilizes a special computer to optimize its operation The system is operated from two color terminals in the control tower From there operational commands for the entire facility are input In addition computer sensors throughout the complex monitor all points along the system From the foursided glass tower the operator can visually confirm that his commands are being executed
Located less than a mile from the dock is an industry prototype for Colonels Island International Auto Processing has moved into its 70000squarefoot complex This will house a variety of carpreparation operations beginning with decosmolining which is the removal of a protectant applied to vehicles prior to

ocean shipment Detailing is the next stop for the vehicles and includes such functions as installation of air conditioning radios cruise controls and striping Other services provided are protection packages predelivery mechanical services painting and body work and order assembling Both import and export cars and trucks will be handled
Processing facilities will utilize 60000 square feet The remaining 10000 square feet go to office space including eight rental offices A separate 6000squarefoot structure houses the decosmolining and wash stations Adjoining the buildings are 50 acres of paved parking area
IAPs marshalling area is equipped with a raised ramp for loading trucks At the rear a rail siding provides immediate loading The truckrail ratio is expected to settle out at 8020
Vehicles will be handled across a ramp currently being added to the existing dock at Colonels Island This modification will permit unloading of car carriers in a day or less IAP predicts pervessel increments ranging from 350 to 2500 units
DOWN THE ROAD
IAP expects to be handling 150000 cars per year by 1988 To that end they expect to exercise an option for an additional 2 5acre parking parcel in the near future
Autos wont be the first breakbulk cargo at Colonels Island however Already several consignments of chlorine tanks have crossed the docks These originated at Allied Universal one of the tenants in the industrial park on the south side of Colonels Island
The future of Colonels Island looks to a second dock being constructed immediately upriver from the existing dock There is enough backup storage space and facilities to accommodate five
Mayors Point Terminal is located a short distance upriver from GPAs East River Terminal
more berths For now plans call for the second dock to have shiploader access via an extension of the conveyor In addition the dock will have a full margin and could be equipped with a container crane
YEAR IN REVIEW
Although Colonels Island is the shining new star of fiscal year 1986 two other terminals in Brunswick also sparkle Brunswicks East River terminal accommodates both import and export
shipments of dry bulk and breakbulk cargoes East River Terminal handled 207707 tons of cargo in FY86 Mayor Point also relatively new with its grand opening in April 1985 is a prime terminal for the handling of breakbulk cargoes especially forest products In FY86 Mayors Point handled 169863 tons Already several cargoes have moved at Colonels Island such as granite gravel and zircon sand By fiscal years end 16928 tons of cargo had crossed the Colonels Island dock
The Colonels Island conveyor system takes the product from storage to a surge bin which ensures continuous shiploading

INTERNS LEARN FROM SAVANNAH
I think Ill say it has grown and is still growing Midshipman Robert Jones said hed write in his report after a twoweek internship at the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick
Jones is a firstclass midshipman from the US Merchant Marine Academy in Kingspoint New York Part of his college education towards a bachelors degree in marine engineering included a twoweek sojourn on a job site of his choice Midshipman Thom Wille also chose Georgias ports as the place to refine skills learned in his dual curriculum of nautical science and marine engineering to learn what you cant learn aboard ship he explained
Jones was a bit astounded at the complexity of terminal operations What goes on at the docks I didnt realize it involved so much he said
Wille was pleased with his choice too
I couldnt have picked a better place I was impressed with the familytype atmosphere of the Georgia Ports Authority more than anything It made me proud to know that its my state I
Wille is from Thompson Georgia
Jones is from Schenectady New York but he spends summers with his family in southern Georgia The school year finds the students in classes such as last quarters thermodynamics electric circuits fluid mechanics and principles of naval architecture
Both midshipmen should graduate June 1987 with a US Coast Guard li

AnchorAge
cense as a third mate or third assistant engineer or both in addition to their bachelors degrees By the time they graduate they will have spent approximately one year aboard oceangoing vessels and 12 quarters in lectures Wille spent time on the Shirley Lykes a breakbulk ship and the Falcon Lady a tanker Jones traveled on the American Aquarius a containership that regularly sails into Savannah and the USNS Mercury Sealift Pacific
In looking past graduation day both men expressed interest in a sailing job Jones said the industry doesnt look too prosperous just now however and said he is looking at a landside job at a port or power plant perhaps with a nuclear concentration Wille also said he is considering combining his newlyacquired nautical and engineering expertise with nuclear technology
The US Merchant Marine Academy was established in 1943 under the Maritime Administration of the Department of Commerce It recognizes the national importance of the need for a body of welltrained merchant marine officers Today the Academy located about 20 miles from New York City ranks as one of the worlds foremost institutions in the field of maritime education The student body has about 1000 men and women and there is a fulltime faculty of about 80

KOREAN
OFFICIAL
COMMITTED TO BALANCED TRADE WITH US
Koreas top trade official has said his country is committed to achieving an equal balance of trade with the United States
Keynoting a joint conference of government representatives from the seven southeastern states and the Republic of Korea Korean Minister of Trade and Industry Jimho Kum said Korea recognizes that our continued growth depends on fair trade
We have rejected the Japanese model of economic development that attempts to achieve industrial selfsufficiency by limiting imports to only a few raw materials Minister Kum said
Korea already the eighth largest customer for US goods imports more than it exports and therefore has an overall trade deficit The country spent 8 billion for US goods in 1985
Nonetheless it has announced plans to increase its purchases from the US This spring Korean businessmen conducted a major purchasing mission across the United States the first such mission of an ongoing program of purchasing products from this country The April purchases of
cotton coal electronics feedgrains wheat and other products are estimated over 300 million
Minister Kum expressed appreciation for President Reagans veto of legislation that would have severely restricted US imports of textiles Protectionism in whatever form is a shortterm remedy with longterm costs he said It inevitably increases inflation drives up the cost of domestic products making them less competitive internationally and provokes retaliation
Rather than setting a course for confrontation he said we must begin pursuing the path of cooperation He praised efforts such as the conference in Miami which brought together government and industry leaders to discuss new trade opportunities
It is our hope Minister Kum said through cooperative efforts such as the one we are launching here to encourage trade between our countries and to increase Koreas purchases from the United States adding that the conference
is the type of initiative that is needed
Sessions at the conference sponsored by the Southeast USKorea Economic Committee and the KoreaUS Economic Council focused on the howtos of doing business in Korea and the southeastern states as well as investment potential in the two areas
The meetings sponsoring organizations are dedicated to promoting privatesector economic cooperation between Korea and the Southeast US The two organizations signed an economic cooperation agreement in 1985 that pledged to promote expanded economic ties between the two areas
Leading their respective state delegations were Gov Bob Graham of Florida Gov George Wallace of Alabama Gov Lamar Alexander of Tennessee Gov Jerry Baliles of Virginia Lt Gov Zell Miller of Georgia Lt Gov Michael Daniel of South Carolina and Secretary of Commerce Howard W Haworth of North Carolina
Immediately following the conference Korean business delegates were scheduled to tour the seven southeastern states to negotiate possible purchases and to explore investment opportunities

CONTAINERPORT
Georgia Ports Authoritys container crane operators achieved a new record when they worked the Ever Summit Two operators Earl Bazemore and Randy Griffin reached a net average of 48 picks per hour the best average ever for working a total ship
Steve Collum superintendent of container cranes explained that net average covers the time the crane actually worked Each time a container is handled by the crane a pick is completed This particular shipment totalled 192 picks
This type of performance could have happened with several of them operators Collum noted But these guys are pretty good
What makes a good crane operator Important skills and talents include good
depth perception peripheral vision and handeye coordination In addition Collum adds they need common sense and an understanding of the job the vessels and the shortcuts Finally practice gives the leading edge
Operators Bazemore and Griffin have spent 13 and 10 years respectively with Georgia Ports Authority The container crane staff is led by two supervisors Collum and Mike Myers foreman Together with 22 operators they total 263 years with GPA Arnold Hughes with 24 years has seniority
With such a talented and experienced group what allowed this new record to be set Collum explained that it was a combination of a good stowage plan good
While work on the Ever Summit set a new record for the complete handling of a vessel high turnaround is a common occurrence topping 60 picks per hour frequently
stevedores operators and gangs and organized dockside traffic The stowage plan required work in just a couple of hatches with less shifting of the cranes The stevedores Collum explained had everything lined up ready for the crane operators
Palmetto Stevedores of Georgia serves Evergreen a Taiwanese line that links the South Atlantic via Savannah to the West Mediterranean via Valencia Spain Fos France and Leghorn Italy Savannah is the last US port to be called with this service giving its shippers the minimum outbound transit time a time that has been decreased even further with the rapid handing of GPAs container crane operators

NEDLLOYDTFL
SLOT CHARTER
After months of speculation Nedlloyd Lines has joined with Trans Freight Lines to announce a slot chartering agreement thereby expanding their Transatlantic service With effect from the middle of September Nedlloyd and TFL plan to offer fixedday weekly sailings in four North America trades
North West ContinentUK to US North
Atlantic Ports
North West ContinentUK to US South
Atlantic Ports
North West ContinentUK to US Gulf
Ports and
Mediterranean to US North Atlantic
Ports
An agreement to this effect has been reached and was filed with the Federal Maritime Commission in midJuly Both Trans Freight Lines and Nedlloyd Lines will individually market and administer their own services
The EuropeSouth Atlantic service will link the ports of Bremerhaven Rotterdam Le Havre and Felixstowe with US South Atlantic and Gulf Ports
The cooperation is based on space exchange in the combined Nedlloyd Lines Trans Freight Lines fleet employed in the services which consist of 13 vessels of which four are RoRocontainerships and
nine are cellular containerships The RoRo vessels will be employed in the EuropeSouth Atlantic and Gulf services
Understanding the impact of Nedlloyd Lines entrance into the Transatlantic trade and wishing to be instrumental in stabilizing the trade Nedlloyd Lines has decided to curtail its life as an independent carrier and to apply for membership in the relevant conferences
We are convinced agreed John R Arwood chief executive officer of TFL that our industry requires the rationalized efforts of all major carriers in order to maintain stability in our trades TFL is a joint venture of Overseas Container Limited a British line operator and TNT Limited of Sydney Australia
With regard to its membership in NEACANEC it is Nedlloyds intent to have a rate differential between it and the other conference members for a limited period of time Furthermore Nedlloyd intends to honor all commitments made prior to the date of its joining the conferences
Nedlloyd and Trans Freight Lines have entered a slotchartering agreement to be served by Nedlloyds RoRo vessels

GOB
HAULER
The worlds one and only allwheeldrive 50ton hauler moved at Savannahs CONTAINERPORT Five pristine specimens of the Payhauler 350B affectionately called the Gob Hauler were loaded onto the American Apollo bound for the Port of Buenos Aires Argentina
The equipment has been ordered for the Yacyreta HydroElectrical Project in Argentina George J Jozaitis international marketing director for Payhauler Corp explained that this is a joint venture between Argentina and Paraguay for electricity in both countries the largest of its type
The transport of the machines was divided into two shipments two on the first
and three on the second The trucks were delivered from the Payhauler plant in Batavia Illinois by wide lowboy trailers Simply driving them off placed the 350Bs dockside in Savannah Everything went smooth as glass Jozaitis summarized When it was done it was done quick and on time
Jozaitis added that the Pay haulers moved through the Port of Savannah because we wanted them to He described how his company checked several ports on the East Coast and the overall combination of all aspects was the best in Savannah
Payhauler is a spinoff from the old International Harvester For 30 years IH manufactured the 35OB The designers and engineers bought the rights to the machine and in true enterpreneurial spirit went into business for themselves The company now retains 80 employees
Jozaitis described Payhaulers production as flexible There is no assembly line each truck is built by a team step by step Everybody knows how to do everything Jozaitis said as he stood on the docks with a crock of grease to use for fine
tuning before the ocean voyage He added the advantage of flexibility when it comes to servicing the equipment also No unnecessary waiting for the expert when everyone involved is an expert
And servicing is an important thought when considering the 350B The life expectancy stretches up to 30 years for the 350000 machine Were still getting calls for parts of the first ones that were built Jozaitis boasted There are 2500 350Bs currently active in the world
As far as Payhaulers future Its a tough run Jozaitis said of todays market conditions For the Yacyreta Project Jozaitis said the project needs more equipment Wed like to think theyd order more Payhaulers a lot will be based on the performance of the vehicle Were prepared to go 100 percent
George Jozaitis international marketing director for Payhauler Corp is living evidence of the companys philosophy of everyone does everything as he prepares to grease the machines prior to loading on the vessel

ONLY RORO TO AUSTRALIANEW ZEALAND CHOOSES SAVANNAH
ScanCarriers has begun a new monthly liner service to Australia and New Zealand commencing with the Barber Perseus sailing Savannah July 29
Calling Savannah as the last US port the transit time to Auckland is 20 days which is superior to any other carrier from America noted Capt Nick Moon general manager of Barber Steamship Lines in Savannah The service travels from Savannah to Auckland New Zealand and then Melbourne Australia 25day transit time from Savannah Sydney 30 days and Brisbane 34 days Cargo will also be accepted for Wellington Littleton and Dunedin in New Zealand and Adelaide and Fremantle in Australia
The ScanCarrier service is being operated with the eight supercarriers currently deployed in Scancarriers roundtheworld fleet cooperation with Barber Blue Sea and Troll Carriers These vessels are the 1900TEU Tourcoing Boogabilla Barber Toba Barber Perseus and Barber Nara and the 2700TEU Barbers Tampa Texas and Hector Neither the BBS nor the Troll Carriers service product will be affected
ScanCarriers entry into this trade comes after a void was created by the exit of Atlanttrafik Express Service and Karlander Kangaroo Line There was a gap in the North AmericaAustraliaNew Zealand trade and we took the opportunity to fill it said Erik WaageNielsen president of ScanCarriers
Moon added the potential of the trade with America looked promising Agricultural machinery tractors chemicals yam and piece goods are examples of common commodities moving between the US and AustraliaNew Zealand
Another factor in the decision was ScanCarriers familiarity with the AustraliaNew Zealand market Moon explained that the line has serviced that market since the turn of the century In addition Scancarriers Agencies provides an established chain of agencies there
The new service is a natural move for ScanCarriers noted WaageNielsen
since because of the fleet cooperation the vessels are already in position
The rotation of the supercarriers will change slightly After leaving the Far East they will call first at the US West Coast
then the East Coast and then the Gulf under Barber Blue Sea Then Troll Carriers provides service to Europe Scancarriers then assumes jurisdiction and the rotation changes
Every other vessel will sail back to the East Coast to pick up cargo bound for New Zealand and Australia They will then traverse the Panama Canal to New Zealand Australia and then on to the Far East where they link up with the other half of the fleet These vessels have sailed directly from Europe via the Suez Canal to the Far East prior to sailing back to the US BBS has control of the vessels on the inbound voyage from the Far East
We chose Savannah as our South

Zircon Sand Is Welcomed In Brunswick Another type of mineral moving through Georgias Ports is zircon sand The Port of Brunswick is currently accumulating the product at the new flat storage building on Colonels Island Bill Baird is a transportation consultant with Downey Co currently being retained by Associated Minerals USA Inc He explains that the company looks forward to approximately 10000 tons of zircon sand per year to be shipped through Brunswick
The zircon sand is mined in Stark and Green Cove Springs Florida The beach sand is refined out and the zircon and titanium is retained The zircon sand is to be transported to Japan and Europe where it will be used in the ceramics industry Baird explains that zircon sand is the base of the glaze on certain dishware
Exploration Focuses On Exports Kaolin bauxite attapulgite zircon sand these are a few examples of the United States making the most of its resources As the nations economy becomes more a part of the world economy and the new sources for the countrys minerals become more and more scarce the need to unearth new markets has increased In 1985 alone 1742 million in kaolin was exported from the US along with 34 million in bauxite 91 in fullers earth and 32 in zirconium compounds Now it seems export markets are the gold mines and marketing departments are the prospecting tools

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
When the transportation sales force takes to the street what does it sell Certainly cost speed customer orientation facilities and variety of service are high on the list And the listing remains the same whether the entity being sold is a steamship line freight forwarder or port authority
The common denominator that runs through each of these is the people factor As containerization continues apace as new ocean and inland equipment proliferates the temptation is for us to focus our attention on the role of technology in the provision of transportation services It is important for us to keep in mind that application of the technology will only be as effective as the people doing the applying And to put the horse before the cart technology can only be as valuable as the people who take the time to research and develop it
In this issue of ANCHORAGE we focus on what we have titled the people infrastructure in Georgia Without a doubt Georgias rise as a transportation center has been mercurial Hartsfield Airport has become the countrys busiest airport and much of the growth has come in international passenger and cargo traffic Atlanta in addition to being a major populationconsumption center is recognized as the distribution center for the entire South
On the port front Savannah had added the title of leading container handler to its status as the South Atlantics leading port In Brunswick two new terminals and an automobile processor will multiply tonnages five times in three to four years
Obviously the people portion of the Georgia transportation equation has been performing admirably Weve asked a dozen knowledgeable transportation officials what traits they think make for a successful professional in their respective areas Not surprisingly there are a number of common characteristics
Experience Georgia transportation people generally have learned the business from the ground up and are wellversed in more than one area
Stability Many of our employees have been with their companies for a long time In GPAs case our average longevity for breakbulk workers approaches 20 years Most of our container crane operators predate the cranes they run
Dedication Our low costs and quick turnaround make Savannah a popular weekend port Known locally as the S S Saturday Sunday steamship company Savannah demand for weekend work exceeds the norm which the port team performs with their normal positive aggressive attitude
Customer orientation The bottom line
is that Georgias rise to international transportation prominence depends heavily of word of mouth advertising on the part of satisfied customers Our customers whether they are cost service or facility oriented are satisfied because our people are responsive to their needs
In the past decade Georgias recognition as an international transportation center has increased geometrically Very few of our customers could describe the details of a dock highway or rail yard that expedites the movement of their cargo through the state Rather what they recognize are the people who have made it possible for them to move their goods easily and competitively to destinations throughout the US and around the world Certainly our transportation facilities take a back seat to none We surpass the competition by virtue of a people infrastructure which derives the maximum from the physical facilities and services at our disposal

THE PEOPLE INFRASTRUCTURE
Which is more important technology or people
Surprisingly with all the talk of new equipment and fancy carriers the general consensus is that people are the key to successful transportation or successful anything for that matter
You could have the best computer system in the world if you dont have competent people you dont have a good system says Mike Leech vice president of W G Carroll Co and president of the Independent Freight Forwarders and Customs Brokers Association of Savannah It has been called the garbage ingarbage out philosophy
The State of Georgia has developed a respected network of people within its
2
transportation industry I hope the world sees us as agressive people Georgians who want to do international business with them and I feel confident that is our image notes Don Harwood chairman of the Savannah Airport Commission SAC
Statistics support Harwoods conclusion Six billion dollars have been invested in Georgia by foreign companies Over 700 companies are stationed in the state At the end of 1985 these included 132 from Japan 118 from Germany 101 from Canada and 99 from the United Kingdom Over 28 countries are represented
Perhaps as many as onequarter million people in Georgia depend on the transportation passenger and freight industry for their paychecks The ports of Georgia alone employ 9663 A 1985 survey sponsored by the Georgia Ports Authority found that including port users 48729 jobs in Georgia rely on the ports
There are two major advantages from these large numbers The state and cities derive financial strength from the ports transportation industry over 900 million in personal income and over 125 million in state and local taxes The people and
their companies whose livelihood relies on smooth transport can comfortably depend on this transportation infrastructure
The transportation industry in Georgia is highly specialized to move cargo in the most proficient manner The process begins with the longshoremen local 1414 in Savannah who unload the vessels ILA locals 1475 clerks and checkers and 2046 maintenance and repair also service dockside operations Then there are the stevedores who hire the longshoremen and the agents who represent the steamship lines Of course the steamship lines hire both agents and stevedores Brokers and forwarders coordinate the cargo moves for the shipper and industrial development arms like the Savannah Port Authority help companies find the ultimate location
The list goes on and on Hundreds of thousands of people work in the transportation industry yet they often seem the unsung heroes When things run smoothly nobody knows youre there suggests Arthur E Miller Savannahs officer in charge of the US Department of Agricultures Animal Plant Health
Inspection Service Plant Protection Quarantine
The chain of events leading to a successful career in transportation can vary widely even within the same occupational group There are colleges that offer transportation degrees but with the specialization of the industry sometimes lessons can only be learned in the school of hard knocks If one desires formal schooling by all means find a good place to go the experts say
James E Newsome president of the Savannah Maritime Association suggests summer jobs in the industry when possible David Mills district manager for Stevens Shipping Terminal Co and chairman of the Atlanta Maritime Association advises one to seriously study English and business communications and study of a foreign language is another idea proposed by SACs Harwood
Regardless of any specialization in transportation one key to success is honesty People in this industry quickly learn the con artists Newsome says There is too much money involved not to
Mills advises successoriented people to
be conscientious and follow through with every project taken on As long as the customer is kept informed and convinced you know what youre talking about if you dont know tell them then youll gain their respect he concludes
Specific skills are often developed on the job As Leech notes there is no school that teaches how to be a broker Rather expertise is acquired through daily involvement with regulatory agencies among other things explains William C Conaway executive vice president of D J Powers Co and president of the Independent Freight Forwarders and Customs Brokers Association of Atlanta
On the docks skills may be acquired by classes offered to the longshoremen by the Savannah Maritime Association Stevedoring and checking classes are offered in the mornings two or three times a week Newsome explains
Industrial development requires a blend of talents that can not be taught in a classroom Jay E Smith vice president of
finance at Latco Products describes Kevin Shea vice president of marketing for the Savannah Port Authority as the person that helped them the most in deciding on a Savannah location The executive of the Los Angelesbased producer of custom ceramic tiles explains that when going into a strange part of the country you expect a certain amount of hospitality
This was far in excess of what were used to
Shea spent three days introducing the Latco team to the City of Savannah and its professionals They visited bankers lawyers builders the port authority and various areas of interest The details involved were short of phenomenal Smith remembers It was a tremendous help to have someone who knew the town and professionals
If you have a good product and believe strongly in it if you are articulate and aggressive you can persuade Harwood says explaining the characteristics of a good director of a Foreign Trade Zone The SAC is executor of FTZ 104 in Savannah Harwood says Don Fishero epitomizes the ideal trade zone director
He is an eternal optimist
When asked what the customer believes is the most important aspect of transportation Leech answers speed He explains that there may be 20 steps in an import shipment with problems possible at every step Customers value the most quick response to their needs accurate prompt information Leech says They need to know the truth even if its bad
Leech seems to hit the nail on the head Wendall Walton manager of distribution and traffic for the Southern Tea Co agrees that speed is most important What we need most is to make the container available as soon as possible he says Using Savannah for the handling of 99 percent of Southern Teas cargo Walton commended a cooperative environment at Savannah and the Georgia Ports Authority
Cooperation tops the list of features found in Georgias transportation industry Robert Eason president of ILA local 1475 points out that intense competition with other ports has caused those in Savannah to pool their interests Were like a family in the Port of Savannah he says
To domestic competition Mills adds the change in the world economy This has resulted in a changed attitude in the industry he says We all need each other we understand each others needs better
Whatever the reasons the historical adversarial relationship often found between labor and management is not in Savannah We have a perfect relationship a beautiful relationship says John Mackey president of ILA local 1414 We all depend on the ships if they dont run nobody works
Realistically problems may arise But Mackey says sometimes we dont agree but we dont become disagreeable According to Gerald McManus district director of US Customs We try to reconcile our differences without elevating them He says that in a lot of other places people dont talk to each other
That is not the case in Georgia McManus points to the Automation Advisory Group as an example Formed about four years ago the AAG is composed of US Customs customs house brokers GPA steamship lines agents and truckers This is a group that represents varied international trade interests in Georgia We attempt to define and design automation programs that will expedite the efficient movement of cargo while at the
same time satisfying each entitys requirements
Another example of teamwork is a steel expo sponsored by the Georgia Ports Authority attended by importers brokers and port representatives all working for a common cause If we get the cargo well all benefit explains Conaway No one element in our industry makes it a success
A final example of the transportation network in Georgia is a recent trade mission to Europe Designed to improve business opportunities between the cities of Savannah and Le Havre the trip included representatives of the Georgia Ports Authority Savannah Port Authority Foreign Trade Zone 104 and the Savannah Airport Commission More recently a fiveperson marketing committee founded by the SPA has been designed and includes the Chamber of Commerce GPA and SAC I think well see cooperation the likes of which we have never seen before Harwood predicts
Continuing to look into the future the experts vary in their predictions Some see logistics management as being the career of
the decade Others point to the management of technologies as the key Any industry that fails to utilize technology will be shortlived notes Conaway Leech agrees While people are more important if you dont automate youre out of business he believes
One thing is for sure as Newsome explains You never stop learning in this day and age Things change every day Operations become more streamlined to save money and conferences level out pricing strategies When rates are the same service distinguishes one from another
Over half of it is the ability to get along Newsome says To Eason the key is harmony Youve got to be a people person Conaway adds
It is a rare pleasure when people do what you ask and pay them to do

ROLLS ROYCE EQUIPMENT BOUND FOR FT HOWARD
Whenever an industrial plant locates near a port both import and export cargoes are expected to move through that port equipment coming in and finished product going out
Fort Howard Paper Co is already fulfilling the first half of that expectation Fort Howard is currently constructing a tissue mill on the Savannah River approximately 25 miles from downtown Savannah Several shipments have brought key pieces of equipment through the Port of Savannah One 200ton yankee dryer has already moved and another is scheduled for this October The yankee dryers are an imperative part of the papermaking machinery and measure 183 in diameter
In addition two other shipments have brought heavy lifts to the Port of Savannah Each shipment one carried by the MV Norbic Wall and the other by the MV Martindyke included a 168653pound generator and a 115000pound gas turbine package These pieces are bound for two Rolls Royce gas turbine electricity generating units The power plants will be assembled at the construction site
Each vessel unloaded about 250 metric tons in an excess of 40 packages Some of the pieces were oversized up to 14 feet wide and 142 high some were heavy lifts
A special private train was required in order to manage clearances because of the large pieces Jim Black is president of Frederick Richards customs house brokers for the move He explained that both railroads CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern cooperated in the move He also noted that each time the train was delivered within 24 hours after the discharge
Black also pointed out that this was international forwarding in its truest sense explaining that Frederick Richards worked in conjunction with Wilson and Co in Hinckley England Wilson chartered the ships delivered the cargo to the docks and loaded the vessels Freder
tions will begin in October of this year by converting waste paper into the finished product which includes facial and toilet tissues paper towels and napkins
Fort Howard Paper Co is receiving pieces of its paper plant and power plant at the Port of Savannah Three shipments have already arrived and another is scheduled
ick Richards took over on the US side supervising the discharging clearing the cargo through customs and arranging inland transport via both truck and rail Benefits accrued from the full cooperation of Strachan Shipping Co stevedores and Gay Trucking Co The entire move was arranged by international forwarders Black added
The Fort Howard tissue mill is expected to be completed in 1992 Opera

Brunswick5 s Not Stumped On This Deal
Hercules Inc is planning to ship about
60000 tons of pine stumps to its plant in Brunswick this year Several shipments have arrived already
Specially designed vessel Each shipment consists of about 2000 short tons A motorized river barge which is designed for European rivers with low bridges is being used The Herm J has a flat bottom allowing it to sit easily in a muddy river bottom In addition it has hydraulic masts and pilot house By lowering these tallest structures on the vessel it can get under bridges with a minimum of 25 to 26 feet of air draft
Its almost like this ship was specifically designed for us explained Kevin Drury president of South Atlantic Enterprises agent for the moves The Herm J is
a 314foot vessel owned by a family business called Sirius Schiffahrts of HarenEMS West Germany She is 44 feet wide and has a maximum draft of 14 feet
Big Creek to Dupree Creek In this particular arrangement the Herm J is restricted to a draft of 11 feet She travels first from Big Creek in Belize Central America to Hercules dock on the Dupree Creek Once she reaches Brunswick she travels under the Back River bridge on St Simons Causeway This bridge is located north of the deepwater channel in the East River and is about 40 feet high at mean high water The Herm J then traverses Terry Creek enroute to Dupree Creek
The Herm J does a good job for what
we need her to do noted John Colquitt manager of new ventures for Hercules
The first six to 10 voyages will travel from Belize to Brunswick and directly back again About 30000 tons of harvested stumps are currently awaiting shipment Later shipments will arrive from the Bahamas and Tampico Mexico Thirty shipments are expected by the end of the year
Stump to Product
At the Hercules dock the stumps are unloaded by a crawler crane which has the dual task of loading railcars bound for the plant Hercules has produced approximately 550 products at its Brunswick facility Hercules John Colquitt explained that the products differ mainly by their melting points and chemical

makeup The company extracts resins from the stumps and uses them in paper and ink to keep the ink from running
Colquitt said contact adhesives are possibly the largest uses of these resins and mentioned the tapes on disposable diapers as a prime example He also said resin goes into chewing gum and added that some people will boil potatoes in it Since the boiling point is 350 degrees it gives a similar effect as baking a potato Other materials processed at Hercules include pine oil which formulators use for pine oil cleaners and turpentine which goes into manufacturing and thinning of paints
Pine stumps such as this recent 2000ton shipment are used to produce resin pine oil and turpentine at Hercules Brunswick plant

INTO AFRICA
Three hundred fifty thousand slides later its safe to say that for Doug Twinam photography is a hobby gone wild And the operative word here is wild Twinam fills his spare hours photographing the animals of Africa
Twinam has carried his cameras to the dark continent for 15 of the last 18 years A professional pilot by trade he has parlayed a keen interest in wildlife photography into an international reputation among those who monitor the habits of the worlds many species
An example of his work involved an elephant research and tracking project at the Zimbabwe Wankie National Park
You cant take the pictures without good equipment Wildlife photographer Doug Twinam will rely on a specially equipped fourwheeldrive vehicle to carry him from Cape Town to Somali
Some 52 elephants were placed under collar so that their migratory patterns could be traced Twinams photographic skills were used to document habitat destruction resulting from overpopulation
Twinam has just embarked on a new adventure which will take him about five years worth of vacations to complete Using his annual allotment of five weeks he will photograph a variety of African wildlife in the geographic range stretching from Cape Town to the Somali border
Given a distinct lack of interstate highways photographing in the African bush is to say the least rigorous Twinam plans to tackle the task with the assistance of a fourwheeldrive vehicle and trailer which he has modified to suit his particular needs
The basic unit consists of a Suzuki SJ 410 towing an equipment trailer built by Californiabased Helder Manufacturing Twinams customization has pushed the
total investment to some 25000 not including the extensive manhours he devoted to making the alterations A brief rundown of some of the options hints at the difficulties encountered in the wild
Specialized shocks and reconstructed springs are required to permit the vehicle to traverse the rough terrain An onboard air compressor performs duties ranging from removing range dust from cameras to reinflating tires after alltoofrequent blowout repairs
A custom light system provides 15 million candlepower of output to illuminate photographic subjects at considerable distances Extra fuel tanks up capacity to 80 gallons for those long treks between convenience stores And of course every available square inch on the doors roof and bumpers bristles with adaptors and connectors for the various camera attachments and tripods critical to Twinams work
A final piece of gear is a public address system A far cry from Talk to the Animals Twinam uses the unit for two purposes On more than one occasion he has found a loud noise most effective in frightening off a hungry or angry predator He also uses the sound system to provide background sounds in conjunction with his work For example on one occasion he was confronted with a leopard who refused to provide the degree of activity necessary for an action shot To stimulate his photographic prey he played a recording of a lion cub mewing This perceived change in his habitat roused the animal from his reverie making him a great deal more photogenic
Both Twinam and his vehicular cargo originated in Miami He opted to use Savannah because it was the only place I could get a ship to Cape Town After calls to several forwarders in his area

Two of Doug Twinams 350000 slides show African beauty in the form of a leopard and a crane
proved fruitless he was referred to the Savannah office of Schenkers A brief conversation with export manager Angie Lee revealed that Savannah could fill Twinams transportation needs I was so happy to talk to someone who knew what they were doing I didnt need to talk to anyone else Twinam explained
With nearly 20 years of animal photography behind him Doug Twinam can indeed tell some wild stories taking a picture of a baby rhino from underneath while its mother looked on scrambling up and down embankments to avoid an unruly bull elephant He says he doesnt carry as much film as he used to because hes become more adept at anticipating animal movements
A lot of people like to get away from it all when they take their annual vacation When Doug Twinam and his wife Rosemary make their annual trek into Africa with camera camping and survival equipment in tow they take the art of escape to new heights

ers a veritable
When the cost of crosscountry transportation threatens a share of a suppliers market his choices are obvious give up the business or change the distribution pattern LATCO Products was determined to retain their hardwon customers and elected to move to the East Coast to improve their delivery capability
LATCO is an acronym for Los Angeles Tile Company located in you guessed it Los Angeles LATCO is involved in the importation and sale of custom ceramic tiles distributing to a market that encompasses the US and Canada
04 EXPORf Bij
The firm has been operating from its single West Coast location since 1959 The recent expansion was predicated on a more recent spurt in sales Our growth didnt really start until the late 70s explains Jay E Smith vice president of finance for LATCO
The LATCO product line features what Smith describes as high end residential and commercial ceramic tile The firm has intentionally moved away from the traditional whitebeige styles to provide tiles that are intended to be a design element in a finished product Smith explains To achieve this aim LATCO offers different colors shapes and sizes than are normally found in ceramics
The tiles are designed to be modular in nature so that the buyer may mix and match them to create individualized patterns Metallics molding pieces striped handpainted dcoratives and sculptured pieces are a few of the diverse offerings that enable the purchaser to create his own decor
For the right to describe its product line as highend LATCO must ensure that quality control is maintained throughout production The process begins with design where the company actually creates its own patterns We dont buy from someone elses production Smith explains LATCO also maintains exclusive USCanada distribution rights for all of its designs
A 4000pound tilefaced sign provides a ready due to LATCOs business

In distribution closer is better LATCOs new Savannah distribution center will put their tiles within the budget of eastern US buyers
All LATCO tiles are sourced in Japan The new East Coast operation will result in nearly 2 million pounds a year of containerized tiles crossing Savannahs docks
According to Smith the Japanese ceramic tile industry remains essentially a cottage industry and offers numerous advantages Smith outlines several stating The Japanese provide exclusivity which many European manufacturers wont do Also they dont mind making smallquantity production runs Their quality control methods are wellknown and our highend product demands quality
Smith also adds that Japan has one of the largest known deposits of porcelain LATCO specifies a high percentage of porcelain for durability so presence of this natural resource is another factor working in Japans favor
Because of its density and the fact that LATCO ships inland in lessthantrailerload lots transportation costs can double the cost of a tile The addon can actually reach as high as 12 per individual tile The move east is designed to cut this cost for a market comprising all of the US east of the Mississippi Additionally other areas in the US heartland will be covered through the Savannah distribution center For central
Texas and the midsection of the country sometime its a push where the tile should come from Smith explains
Delivery times from the West Coast were also having a negative effect on LATCOs ability to compete in the eastern half of the country By the time their tiles were consolidated with other goods to fill a trailer and then shipped overland delivery times of a month were not uncommon Now we can guarantee eastern buyers a twotofourday turnaround out of Savannah Smith says
Currently the local staff numbers six out of a total LATCO workforce of 55 Im sure there will soon be more in Savannah Smith predicts He expects reduced transportation costs to produce new business that will push activity levels beyond just the business inherited from the Los Angeles operation Daniel Jackson will manage the local branch
Smith was quick to praise the Savannah business community for its cooperation in putting together an attractive package He singles out the Savannah Port Authority stating Kevin Shea got the project off the ground In three days we had a builder bond counsel banker and construction site He also credits Structioneers with erecting the firms handsome 18000squarefoot facility

Kaolin day used to give quality magazine paper its high gloss finish has to be completely pure
At Colonial Terminals we go to great lengths to see that it is
Recently our surveyor insisted that a ships hold be repainted to protect the quality of a cargo of finegrade kaolin bound for a paper manufacturer
One ton of paint later the kaolin was loaded
Every product that passes through our Savannah dry and liquid bulk terminal goes through an exhaustive 20point checklist to insure purity at every step of the handling process
Our supervisors check each prod
uct upon arrival and while in storage When an outbound transfer takes place they inspect the carrier and check product quality before and after loading
A sample is kept at our quality control laboratory until your customer has received the shipment and is satisfied with it
Each time we change products we dean out our entire system and start the process all over again
Extra effort maybe but thats the way weve been doing business in Savannah for over 60 years
Its important to us that the products we handlewhether liquid or dry bulkarrive quickly and deanly
We always keep the big picture in mind Finished products are only as good as the ingredients that go into them
Sometimes that means using a little paint

CARTLEDGE
On the evening of Wednesday September 24 attendees of the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference will be treated to an insight into one of Savannahs largest exporters
Gene Cartledge chairman and chief executive officer of Union Camp Corp will top off the banquet dinner discussing the importance of Georgias ports

Kill
Gene Cartledge
The Port of Savannah and Union Camp have grown side by side for over 40 years Union Camps exports have grown sixfold since 1962 Cartledge notes About 22 percent of Union Camps Savannah production was exported in 1984 That substantial year generated about 360000 tons for international trade from all Union Camp locations
The year 1985 produced about half that primarily because of the dramatic currency differences around the world American products were simply too expensive to buy overseas
It is an absolute requirement that all of us pay attention to the foreign currencies and the maintenance of a level playing field Cartledge says He explains further that the US cant afford to put up tariff barriers neither should we let foreign countries keep American products out Weve also got to continue our efforts to hold our costs down to be competitive in world markets Cartledge adds
Looking to the future Union Camp plans to focus its investment in Savannah on higher value products Tons might not increase but dollars will The pricing effect of currencies has caused returns to be nonexistent Cartledge explains They didnt allow foreigners to pay any more than the cost to produce

The Companys Savannah product line includes linerboard kraft paper saturating kraft used in the manufacture of decorative laminates such as Formica packaging and chemicals Of these linerboard saturating kraft one of the higher value products and chemicals are the principal exports
Major markets for these products include Europe and the Pacific Basin Europe remains stable and the Pacific Basins industrial growth makes it one of the fastest growing markets Cartledge notes hat Savannah has several cost effective steamship services to the Far East and Union Camp takes advantage of the close proximity to developed port facilities Another noteworthy market is the banana area in the Caribbean Islands that requires Union Camp products for packaging
We are fortunate to have people who are welltrained wellmotivated and with a sincere interest in both the industry and Union Camp Cartledge says adding that their competence helps Union Camp to remain costcompetitive

PERSPECTIVE
The purpose of my visit is to introduce our new ScanCarriers service and to have the opportunity to meet with potential clients This is how company President Erick WaageNielsen summed up a recent US swing that took him to New York Miami Atlanta and Savannah
It is significant that three of the four stopovers on his itinerary were in the southern US a region that figures prominently in the carriers new service be
tween the US and AustraliaNew Zealand He explains We see a growing trade from Georgia and the surrounding states particularly the Atlanta area We believe that it will develop into an interesting and dynamic trade for us
Our interest is in both the consumer and capital trades which covers the full spectrum of commodities With the range of industry in Georgia and the surrounding area we believe there will be a wide diversity of products
WaageNielsen believes that a softening dollar bodes well for ScanCarriers new venture With the difference in exchange rates American goods will become more competitive in these trades he predicts He cautions that the turnaround will not come overnight These currency changes have occurred quite recently and it takes a while for the trade to respond Weve only seen a limited increase to Australia
and New Zealand at this time

Some of the most elegant bedrooms such as this at the Ballastone Inn may be found in historic inns Fourposter beds and fireplaces are common
ood ole southern hospitality is not only found in the good old days At least 23 historic inns in Savannah would fervently agree with that Each day they welcome guests from around the world with pampering and elegance
The key is bed and breakfast a wonderful idea that had its beginning in Europe and cultivation in America Back in the good old days travelers would follow the main street through a town A sign in the yard of a special house would
beckon them in from the weather with the promise of a warm bed and a hot cup of coffee in the morning at the least
Todays typical traveler has become accustomed to the consistency of large hotel and motel chains and their convenience along the heavilytraveled interstates But for the adventurous Savannah offers a rewarding alternative
Over 22 nineteenth century homes have been converted into inns offering from one to 25 rooms each The Royal Colony
Inn circa 1890 while not a bed and breakfast inn has 54 rooms each with fourposter beds and a view of Savannahs Landmark Historic District

historic Cotton Exchange In fact the Ballastone is a recognized showcase for Scalamandre fabrics and Savannah paintings The Magnolia Place is another with an elegant parlor with its Portugese tile fireplace
Once a person starts staying at an inn theyre spoiled forever explains Paula Palmer manager of the Ballastone Inn
The bedrooms often feature rice poster and canopy beds many times so tall that a small set of steps is necessary A honeymoon suite graces the top floor of the Greystone Inn with billowy antique lace canopies and curtains The Magnolia Place treats guests with armoires rather than closets
The baths run the gamut from clawfoot bathtubs to jacuzzis Antique light fixtures and pedestal sinks add to the mood At several inns such as the Magnolia Place and Foley House Inn outside hot tubs provide the perfect opportunity to enjoy lavish courtyards with their abundance of South Georgia flora
Some of the inns feature suites with private kitchens and living rooms Guests can nestle into one of two suites at the Jesse Mount House each with three bedrooms As in many of Savannahs downtown buildings Savannahgray brick walls envelop weary travelers in a comfortable snug setting
Thus the elegance combines pleasantly with the coziness of the inns Its almost like staying at the home of a family friend Often a guest will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of sherry Pralines may be found on your pillow at bedtime All of the inns listed on page 49 provide a breakfast for the guests The Eliza Thompson sets up a continental breakfast in its private courtyard The Magnolia Place invites guests into its parlor for the same
