FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
Calendar 1986 saw Georgia Ports Authority surpass for the first time the seven million ton mark in cargoes handled While new facilities in Georgia port cities certainly made such growth possible it is largely a function of a constantly expanding carrier lineup
The steamship line of 1987 is a different creature altogether from its predecessor of twenty or even ten years ago For example containerization is still a relatively new phenomenon Nevertheless we are already seeing socalled fourth generation containerships coming out of world shipyards today reflecting dramatic changes in carriage requirements It is a dynamic industry indeed which requires a major rethinking of its basic technology every four or five years
Additions to the transportation glossary reflect the changes in our industry Intermodalism load center doublestack COFC and many more terms have been spawned in the last two decades to describe the changes brought about by containerization The lessons of the
container have not been lost on carriers involved in the breakbulk and bulk trades Faced with the same pricing and competitive challenges as their containercarrying counterparts they have begun to embrace the economies afforded by load centering and increased utilization of inland carriers Likewise their vessel technology is beginning to reflect changes in the way they respond to their customers
The degree of containerization varies widely by trade route and individual nation For this reason ocean carriage particularly to the lesser developed countries LDCs is frequently of the multipurpose variety Lack of shoreside equipment often necessitates the use of RoRo vessels or selfsustaining containerships for handling of containers rolling stock and trailerized breakbulks
For locations on shallow draft rivers
LASH may be the solution Semicontainerships serve those areas where demand for container transport falls short of full vessel loads
In Georgias ports a cargo base which has historically been quite varied has always necessitated a versatile fleet The pattern remains in place today with all manner of container breakbulk and bulk vessels visiting the docks
Our current steamship portfolio certainly merits the description diversified Thirtyseven scheduled container carriers offer frequent competitive service along all trade routes The largest and most successful RoRo vessels in the world call regularly Add breakbulk and bulkers to the equation and the bottom line is over
one hundred carriers making Georgia harbors regular ports of call on their itineraries
Naval engineers have traded their drafting pencils for modelling computers As a result we can expect the pace of change in vessel technology to further accelerate The safest thing we can say about the world fleet of the year 2000 is that it will be as different from todays as todays is from 1970s
The world class port will respond by planning designing and constructing shoreside facilities which will reflect the need to accommodate an evolving world fleet
Georgias ports will have a different look in the year 2000 as well Mulberry Grove in Savannah and Colonels Island in Brunswick provide us with 4000 acres of resources to match our future development with that of our carrier partners It is difficult to say what the Savannah and Brunswick harbors will look like in 15 years lets just say that from a cargo handling point of view theyll look exactly like they need to

George Berry Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade views the Southeast as a country of 40 million people with Atlanta as the capital city of that country If you wish to enter this major market you can do it more efficiently from Georgia than anywhere else says Berry
Transportation of course is Atlantas reason for being here Its our automobiles if we were Detroit its our steel if we were Pittsburgh its our gambling if we were Las Vegas
But its transportation in the very broadest and largest sense of that word If there is a crossroads of that capital of Atlanta in that country of the Southeast says Berry its Hartsfield International Airport If you looked at a chart of Southern Bells communication network it would look just like the map of direct flights in and out of Hartsfield International The patterns look the same a network centering on Atlanta And what is communication but the transportation of information
Distribution Georgia Atlanta Savannah
By the year 2000 more than 56 million people will live in the Southeast The regions employment rate will grow at a rate 30 faster than the national average with over four million new jobs and four and onehalf million new housing starts With twothirds of the nations population living in the area known as the Sunbelt below an imaginary line drawn from Washington DC to San Francisco Georgias transportation network has its work cut out for it Increasingly firms seeking to supply this growing industrialpopulation base find Georgias distribution resources the most cost effective
In the Georgia of the Old South traditional business ventures were typically lowwage lowcapitalization manufacturing of nondurable goods service industries needing little capitalization and regional salesdistribution centers through which capital flowed to national collection centers outside the south
Berry sees a longrange transition to a service economy Fewer and fewer of us are making things fewer and fewer of us are growing things but more and more of us are providing services and doing things for other people All of these things trend towards transportation and communication
centers Thats what makes Georgias future so strong and so promising says Berry
The Georgia Ports the Atlanta Airport the freeway system the rail systems and piggyback yards the electronic switching gear the fiber optic cable systems all of these things are absolutely critical to Georgia because this is the infrastructure on which our future economy will be built continues Berry
Georgias aggressive business development stance of today bears little resemblance to the sleepy economy of yesterday Kevin Shea Vice President Marketing for the Savannah Economic Development Partnership indicates an upward trend for development of all types of businesses in the Savannah area and particularly in light manufacturing warehousing and distribution of goods
At this time we have a good list of prospects who are interested in locating in Savannah says Shea The most influencing factors seem to be proximity to port facilities agreeable climate and availability of workers and our excellent transportation network Distributing into either the growing Florida market west to Gulf cities or north through the Atlanta gateway to all parts of the US is simple
KMart Corporation chose to locate their eastern distribution center at Savannahs CONTAINERPORT The twin megawarehouses supply nearly half the countrys
KMart stores
and cost efficient from Savannah
Nat Welch is Executive Director of the Georgia Freight Bureau and impresario of the International Intermodal Expo held each spring in Atlanta The number one advantage of bringing goods from Savannah to Atlanta says Welch is that youre sitting on the biggest market in the Southeast with 23 million people Atlanta has three distinct distribution advantages says Welch First you have customers in every direction for 360 degrees Second you can reach virtually every pig trail in the Southeast by single line truck service Number three and the kicker is that Atlanta is the gateway to one of the fastest growing markets in the USA Florida which is approaching ten million people
Two important pieces of transportation legislation were passed in 1980 Welch continues The Staggers Rail Act and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980 essentially deregulated both modes The advantage to Savannah and Atlanta from a distribution standpoint is that you can now reach

markets as far as Kansas City St Louis Chicago Detroit Ontario Pittsburgh Baltimore and Philadelphia by single line railroad or motor carrier service These pieces of legislation also allowed truckers to offer substantial discounts to shippers and allowed railroads to enter contracts with shippers for substantially reduced transportation costs
Atlanta is served by 72 regular route motor carriers and 200 specialized haulers Savannah lists over 100 carriers in total
Georgias highway system is recognized as one of the nations most efficient In the heart of Atlantas industrialbusiness district three highways 120 175 and I85 intersect Savannah is the terminus of
Mapwise view of Georgias proximity to important eastern markets
116 and a conduit to the entire eastern seaboard via 195 Georgias motor fuel tax at 75 is the second lowest in the United States
An ambitious highway improvement program is on the boards with a 3 fuel tax addon funding a developmental highway system A statewide network of fourlane connectors will assure ready access to all comers of Georgia and the highways beyond
Deregulation spawned the two rail giants which serve Georgia CSX formed by the merger of the Family Lines and the
Chessie System and NorfolkSouthern formerly Southern Railway and Norfolk and Western Each offers single line coverage to the entire east and midwest
The needs of this bustling distributiontransportation network demand state of the art rail technology
The impending completion of a new intermodal yard in Atlanta is an example of facility improvement mandated by the numbers Georgia was one of the nations pioneers in piggyback and doublestack service and Savannah is one of the few east coast ports with no height restrictions for doublestack trains
Dr Fred Stephenson Associate Professor of Marketing and Distribution at the
University of Georgia notes that most people take transportation for granted The only time they think about it is when it doesnt work
And from Georgia transportation does work Stephenson uses the Due South Aspect to reinforce the importance of the states strategic placement If you head due south from New York youll end up somewhere in the eastern Bahamas Savannah is due south of Cleveland
Ohio This makes Savannah a natural supply point for the region beyond the southeast
Stephenson continues A series of circles drawn on a map of the United States with Atlanta at the center reveals a lot of important markets easily accessible
within a day by truck or rail With many competing eastern distribution centers such concentric circles would embrace a great deal of open ocean
International Business on the Rise
The most exciting thing happening in Georgia is the growth of our international business activity says Commissioner Berry As late as 1975 there were only 150 international owned organizations doing business in Georgia At the end of 1985 there were 966 These organizations have invested 326 billion in our state and employ 54737 Georgians
The formula cited by Berry as key in attracting International business to Georgia has four elements
The several points which are together referred to as the location factors the Atlanta Airport facility the ocean ports the distribution system all located in the heart of the region
The human factors which refer to the friendly nature and personality of the Southerner Georgias unionization rate of the work force is now at 12 and declining International companies find it appealing that the average Southern worker is conscientious punctual easily trained and has a good work attitude
The governmental factors These relate to the fact that Georgia is a state driven by business Government officials at the highest level are available to business people when they have a problem to be addressed And Georgia has relatively low taxes there has been no general statewide tax increase in Georgia since the early 1950s
Finally the Golf in January factor referring to the mild climate and quality of life afforded workers in Georgia as well as savings from reduced plant heating costs
But if there is one factor that contributes most to attracting international jobcreating investment to Georgia it is nonstop air service Direct nonstop air service is the single most effective impetus to additional international development in Georgia says Berry Where direct international flights are present sales and support personnel can move quickly and easily through the distribution area competitive service for timesensitive air freight is another plus
CSX and Norfolk Southern Railroads service an endlessly varied cargo mix through Georgia and beyond

After nonstop air service was established from Atlanta to London the number of British firms in Georgia mounted from 40 to 147 The number of German firms blossomed from 28 to 139 after the AtlantaFrankfurt route was put into place
With the year 2000 only 13 years away leaders in Georgia have put themselves to the task of creating a more prosperous state by the dawn of the 21st century
It is fitting that Atlanta established in the 1830s as a rail crossroads and Savannah sited a century earlier for its prime river location continue their roles as transportation epicenters As population migration and business development force more and more distributors to consider southern alternatives Georgia will continue to be the prominent feature on the Souths distribution horizon

Forest products may have been the incentive for Gearbulk to initiate service to the Port of Brunswick but their cargo horizons are far more expansive Owners representative Steinar Tofte lists not only other breakbulks but containers and dry bulks as targeted groups
This ambitious marketing plan is made possible by a fleet of vessels characterized by exceptional versatility Gearbulk owns and operates a fleet of 42 open hatch gantry craned ships Another 1015 are
maintained on a charter basis to carry dry bulk cargoes
The first two vessels to call Brunswick on behalf of Gearbulk ably demonstrated these wide ranging capabilities The MV Molda is a 629 foot long bottom of Norwegian registry Grossing nearly 25000 tons she is capable of carrying up to 1100 twenty foot containers or 1700000 cubic feet of dry or breakbulk cargo
While in Brunswick her twin 25 ton ships cranes handled unitized lifts of
The MV Moldas 25 ton cranes maximized productivity in loading linerboard and woodpulp during her inaugural visit to the Port of Brunswick
woodpulp and linerboard The configuration of the spreader bar permitted lifting numerous rolls of linerboard simultaneously guaranteeing high productivity and quick vessel turnaround Over 5300 tons of cargo was loaded during the inaugural visit
JanuaryFebruary 1987

GEARBULK
TO BRUNSWICK
Woodpulp was the order of the day for Gearbulks MV Westfield when it called Mayors Point Terminal in Brunswick Carolina Shipping Gearbulks Brunswick agent reported good bookings for each of the first
two calls
Tofte described the Molda as a third generation ship She was followed closely by her fourth generation cousin the Westfield This 1985 vintage vessel boosts per voyage space to 1300 TEUs Cube capacity for other cargo is approximately 10 greater than her predecessors Also of Norwegian lineage she measures in at 27818 gross tons
Cranage on the Westfield is also more substantial Each of two units can lift 35 tons a ten ton increase over the third generation edition Cargo offerings for voyage two consisted of 2300 metric tons of baled woodpulp
All of Gearbulks vessels are of similar configuration and versatility Tofte reports that there is a definite reason for the design parameters He says We have the flexibility of interchanging ships to meet the customers schedule and cargo availability
Gearbulk vessels will be calling Brunswick twice monthly Markets throughout Europe and the Mediterranean will be served For example Molda cargoes were destined for Rotterdam and Bremen Loadings on the Westfield will be discharged in Barcelona Ste Livorno Naples and Aqaba
Presenting a key to the city Brunswick Mayor Paul Warwick helps unlock the secret to Gearbulks success in Brunswick
Brunswick or Savannah will serve as the last port outbound on each Gearbulk voyage As a result shippers using Georgias ports are afforded minimal
transit times of a scant 13 days to the first European stop
Availability of export forest products from a local paper mill was the prime determinant in Gearbulks decision to add Brunswick to its rotation According to Tofte it was not the only factor We were attracted by a very fine facility With its wide open aprons and spacious warehouse it is ideally suited for paper handling He added excellent rail and truck access to his list of plusses
Gearbulks basic philosophy of operation revolves around long term contracts The benefit to the Port of Brunswick is a scheduled service for some time to come The shipper of course reaps the benefits of a favorable rate structure based upon a multivoyage contract
The message to other Gearbulk prospects is that their ships are going to be in Brunswick every two weeks on a regular basis Tofte indicates that success with ongoing solicitation of other shippers could result in improved frequency of service
Following the established pattern of steamship deployment Gearbulk has nailed down significant base cargoes to rationalize its decision to call Brunswick If the lines marketing homework proves correct future manifests will be considerably thicker

Two more vessels of the new far east consortium formed by Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd MOL Nippon Yusen Kaisha NYK and YamashitaShinnihon Steamship Company YSL have made their first Savannah calls See Georgia AnchorAge NovDec 1986
The vessels Alligator Independence and Alligator Liberty arrived to discharge a strong 762 and 769 TEUs respectively and returned to stow 856 and 881 TEUs for foreign ports Commodities handled on the maiden calls included clay woodpulp textile machinery and heavy equipment
A fleet of six new vessels were constructed under the terms of the consortium agreement to be deployed in an itinerary including Hong Kong Kaohsiung Kobe Nagoya and Tokyo
Savannah has been designated the largest load center for this service with second port inboundlast port outbound status
Standardized under the new consortium each ship is 814 feet long and weighs in at 4142000 tons With a 2800 TEU capacity including 230252 reefer slots top speed for the vessels is 22 knots allowing a transit time of 21 days between Kobe and Savannah
The three carriers are convinced that a significant portion of USPacific Rim trade will continue to move entirely by water citing the concentration of the east coast population fewer transactions than with landbridging and the rising cost of inland transportation

Its Our Year
Emphasizing that Georgia exports mean Georgia jobs and a stronger economy Governor Joe Frank Harris has announced that 1987 has been designated the Year of the Exporter for businesses in the state
In outlining the years calendar of events and activities Harris spoke of the programs two primary goals first to increase the awareness of the importance of exports to businesses around the state and second to increase exports by Georgias smaller companies
Georgia ranks 21st in the United States in manufactured exports and in 1983 more than 76000 Georgians held export
related jobs but less than two per cent of all Georgia businesses are involved in exporting Most exporting firms 84 employ 1000 or more people
Citing record trade deficits the United States status as a debtor nation and the uncertain outcome of current proposed Federal trade legislation the Governor called for a renewed commitment by Georgia business and industry to compete aggressively in the global marketplace of the next century
Major Georgia exports are transportation equipment machinery paper and paper products food chemicals and allied
Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris feels the Year of the Exporter represents the internationalization taking place in our state
products and textile mill products The highest in dollar value of Georgias nonagricultural exports is transportation equipment 518 million in 1983
Georgia ranks first in the US in peanut exports second in poultry products paper and paper products and textile mill products and fifth in apparel products Georgias agricultural exports totaled 520 million in 1985 with combined exports of 422 million in the first quarter of 1986

BUILDING A BETTER COBRA
Reduced dwell time in the container field This has been the objective of Georgia Ports Authoritys COBRA processing system since its inception The latest in a long series of innovations furthers that pursuit considerably The new feature permits the issuance of releases by US Customs and Department of Agriculture up to five days in advance of vessel arrival
But prompt release is not equivalent to speedy inland delivery fortunately COBRAs sophistication permitted Savannahs data processing planners to carry the process to a more significant conclusion
The second added capability permits steamship line releases to be issued up to five days early as well Finally COBRA will also notify truckers which boxes they will be picking up before they are discharged from the vessel bringing obvious scheduling advantages In short this combination assures that improvements in release times translate into speedier container deliveries
The benefits which extend throughout the ports transportation sector ultimately work to the advantage of the shipper Brokers will now have more time to plan for Customs and USDA inspections In addition the broker will be able to notify the consignee in advance when containers have been designated for examination
Government entities will benefit from a smoother work flow With entries spread over a five day period bottlenecks at the time of vessel docking will be eliminated The process of selecting boxes for inspection can be more easily regulated permitting more efficient use of CustomsUSDA resources
The newest COBRA refinement also provides Georgia Ports Authority with a valuable operations planning tool Advance information available will include items such as containers to be drayed to Customs and USDA containers to be subjected to detailed inspection and premounting requirements This will permit better utilization of space in the container field timely equipment positioning and effective deployment of personnel For example when examinations have been ordered equipment can be standing by to dray containers to nearby inspection sites as soon as they reach their field storage location
COBRAs hallmark is its ability to serve the needs of all parties involved in the transportation process This is no accident since the system has been guided throughout its development by the Automation Advisory Group AAG This cross section of shipping transportation service and governmental interests meets regularly to discuss and recommend enhancements and priorities
for COBRAs improvement This combined input assures a paperless processing system which is both sophisticated and responsive to the needs of all its users
AAG Chairman Mike Leech of WG Carroll and Company comments on the latest advances Were taking advantage of one of the benefits available under the Automated Broker Interface System In the vast majority of cases we will know five days in advance whether or not cargo will be inspected Well be able to provide the importer with an accurate advance delivery schedule enabling him to better schedule his trucking and warehouse operations
Just in time the pipeline as warehouse these phrases hint at the importance of transportation planning in todays merchandising environment The newest enhancements to Savannahs COBRA system will provide importers and transportation people with an additional five day cushion to process and clear import containers And this clearance carriers through Customs and USDA to the steamship lines and motor carriers The benefits are smoother work flow improved utilization of physical and human resources and shorter visits for inbound boxes at CONTAINERPORT Savannah

The World Trade Club Atlanta recently sponsored the Tenth Annual Governors International Awards honoring individuals and companies excelling in various areas of international business Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris introduced the four recipients for 1986 who were former Georgia Governor George Busbee the late Dr Joseph M Pettit the Citizens and Southern National Bank and WestPoint Pepperell
Both as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives and as Governor George Busbee worked to increase capital investments in the state by foreign businesses and to promote the sale of Georgia products abroad He was instrumental in helping congressional committees write the Export Administration Act of 1979 and the Trade Procedures Simplification Act of 1980 During Governor Busbees administration 400 international firms and over 1000 new manufacturing plants located in Georgia creating 14500 new jobs Governor Busbee also cleared the way for continued growth of international trade in Georgia by securing passage of a law allowing international banking in the state Presidents Carter and Reagan named Governor Busbee to the Presidents Export Council on which he served until 1985
In his position as President of Georgia Tech Dr Joseph Pettit spearheaded the drive to begin academic exchanges in technology and business relationships with the Peoples Republic of China Japan Korea Ireland Egypt Sudan Philippines Ecuador and Kenya Dr Pettits most outstanding accomplishment was ChinaTech a 12 million agreement with China for joint business ventures and exchanges of technical and academic leaders Under Dr Pettits
leadership Georgia Tech also signed an agreement with Nissho Iwai a major Japanese trading company for the marketing of Georgia Tech inventions and technology in Japan Dr Pettit also contributed his energies to the exhibition China 7000 Years of Discovery the largest cultural exhibition ever to visit Atlanta
The Citizens and Southern National Bank formed an International Division in 1961 in order to provide a global marketplace for domestic customers and to encourage foreign investment in Georgia Atlanta and the Southeast The Economic Development Division of CS also works closely with the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade to promote foreign investment in Georgia The bank has been involved in numerous foreign trade missions and was instrumental in founding the World Trade Center Atlanta the JapanAmerican Society and the GeorgiaKorea Economic Council CS is also an active supporter of the Southern Center for International Studies and was one of the first investors in ChinaTech

Savannah Unites for Economic Development
V
The Savannah Economic Development Partnership put on the Ritz recently when they threw a party at one of Atlantas finest hotels to sell Savannah to representatives from business and industry throughout the world
The Partnership a collaboration between the Savannah Port Authority the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce and other partners has pledged to attract 4000 jobs and 250 million in business development to the Savannah area by 1990
A delegation traveled to Atlantas RitzCarlton Hotel to tell the Savannah story to business development people from Atlanta well as to international bankers and state officials
Partnership representatives brought with them a giant scroll which had circulated throughout the Savannah area since the Partnerships launch date in November The scroll was signed by citizens who support the goals of the Partnership to create more jobs by

attracting economic development to the Savannah area
The Partnership is in the process of contacting at least 300 companies known to have expansion plans and has targeted six industry groups especially suited for the Savannah area office processing and transaction operations high tech fibers and nonwoven textiles subassembly of electronic and electricalmechanical parts powder metallurgy light metalworking and various service and distribution related businesses which could take advantage of the Georgia Ports Authority facilities andor Foreign Trade Zone
Hosting the party in Georgias capital city was one of the first steps in the Partnerships aggressive national and international marketing campaign Atlanta is a natural place to tell people what we have in Savannah and that we have got it all said Savannah Mayor John Rousakis
Rousakis said the community has always had the resources and money to attract economic development but that the organizations were not always able to work together
The economic development effort was fragmented said Partnership President Richard D Knowlton We concluded that the only way we could be competitive today was to work together and have one presence Knowlton added We are making people aware that Savannah is very serious about attracting industry
Savannah Mayor John Rousakis and Partnership President Richard Knowlton receive help unfurling a giant scroll signed
by Savannahians committed to economic development

Maritime Organizations Spread Cheer
Putting the holiday spirit into practice can be difficult during the yearend crush of festivities but two Georgia maritime organizations managed to do it all
With Christmas spirit high and thermometers dropping low the Atlanta Maritime Association organized an allout effort to help meet the needs of the homeless Members brought canned goods clothing and blankets to their annual Christmas party where the collected articles were temporarily stored in a container donated by SeaPac Services
Via transportation provided by SouthEastern Carriers the container was returned to the container depot where members met the following Saturday to divide the goods and distribute them to the Atlanta Union Mission the United Baptist Shelter the Battered Womens
Home and the Salvation Army
And meanwhile a few miles south and east of Atlanta members of the Independent Freight Forwarders and Customs Brokers Association of Savannah combined their resources to donate 2000 to the International Seamens House in Savannah
Founded in 1843 by the Savannah Port Society the Seamens house has provided transportation recreation and a home away from home to thousands of travelweary sailors
Mike Leech of WG Carroll presents the ForwardersBrokers Christmas donation to Father Mario Balbi c and Reverend Dale Umbreit r Chaplains of Savannahs International Seamens House
The donation from the ForwardersBrokers will go a long way in helping to defray operating costs for the house which is supported entirely by donations from individuals churches and civic groups

Moore a 19year veteran of the trucking industry is former President of Coast to Coast Trucking and has held various sales and operations positions with Ranger Ryder and Nationwide

Moore cites the good reputation of Gay Trucking Company as a major factor influencing the purchase In the trucking environment having a niche in the market counts for a lot says Moore The lo
cation of Gay Truckings terminal in Savannah across Highway 17 from CONTAINERPORT Gate Four has given the company a decidedly portinfluenced cargo mix with 7580 of its traffic de
rived from Savannahs port
Dependable Transport Group plans to expand Gay Truckings currently offered services by opening a warehousing facility and satellite terminals in the near future

President Richard Lewis says he has looked forward to opening in Savannah The business climate is so favorable in Savannah Lewis says UTC is taking a more aggressive stance than ever before in going after new business and we feel that Savannah has a lot to offer in that area As a result of the aforementioned new stance UTC can boast an impressive 300 new customers facilitating expansion in all areas of service
But we know that if our service isnt superior we wont keep these customers adds Lewis Thats why were constantly upgrading the services we offer from our UniTraC Computer System to the continual evaluation and expansion of our overseas agents UTCs personalized computer system provides constantly updated cargo tracking and invoicing with direct access available to customers

UTC retains the services of agents in more than 50 overseas port cities Lewis emphasizes personalizing our presence with customers so that efficient worldwide service is assured
Opening the Savannah office caps off an excellent year for us in 1986 our 60th anniversary year notes Lewis 1986 also holds significance as the year that UTC became an independent company
Former parent company Transway International as a result of a merger with International Controls Corporation chose to deemphasize its participation in transportation services affording senior management of UTC the opportunity to acquire the business
With its newly independent status UTCs future plans include continuing involvement in all phases of ocean and air importexport activity NVOCC and project work UTC is justifiably proud of its project track record with notable examples of Tokyo Disneyland satellite tracking stations and power plants to its credit

CSX Corporation has created a new dedicated intermodal train connecting the Port of Savannah and the Mobile and New Orleans markets with second day service
Conventional COFC and TOFC loads as well as doublestack cars are being accepted for the Gulf Wind named after the overnight train which once plied the rails between New Orleans and Jacksonville in the golden age of rail passenger travel Todays containerized cargo on board the Gulf Wind receives the same special treatment avoiding all hump yards to minimize freight damage
With a cutoff in Savannah of 400 pm cargo reaches Mobile and New Orleans approximately 24 hours later for availability at 900 am the following day For eastbound cargo the cutoff is 900 pm at New Orleans and 700 pm at Mobile with availability in Savannah by noon on the second day following receipt of cargo Transit times have been reduced by a minimum of a full day and in some cases more than three days with virtually 100 reliability
The Gulf Wind has been operating Monday through Saturday since December

The advent of the Gulf Wind strengthens
Savannahs position as a growing intermodal hub As the farthest inland port on the east coast and the closest port to Atlanta the resultant transportation costs produce a 27 state hinterland With multiple trains providing daily cargo service to the Gulf Midwest and Eastern Seaboard and truck service provided by more than 100 motor carriers Savannah parlays its geographic advantage into reduced transportation costs for its many customers

PASSING THROUGH
Three Years Around The World
Bert I and Albert Pieters r embark on the last leg of their threeyear journey by pedaling up the RoRo ramp of the Nedlloyd Rochester
After three years on the road and many new friendships made along the way a pair of adventurous brothers are back home in Holland savoring their recentlycompleted cycling trip around the world
Albert Pieters at 30 the older of the two had cycled through Scandinavia in 197980 The seed of an idea for a trip around the world was planted By early 1983 he had persuaded his younger brother Albertus 23 called Bert to accompany him Albert arranged the details of the trip within nine months and the pair departed from their hometown of Zwolle Holland 60 miles northeast of Amsterdam on September 16 1983
With limited funds to finance their journey Albert enlisted the aid of several sponsors Dutch bicycle maker Batavus supplied tenspeeds and equipment through a Zwolle bicycle shop Albert and Bert wore out 58 bicycle tires in 30000 miles A hometown newspaper printed monthly updates of their adventures in a special column Around the World with Albert and Bert Pieters Camera equipment was furnished by Mollink and Nedlloyd Lines agreed to help out with ocean crossings
From Holland the brothers passed through Germany Austria Yugoslavia Greece Turkey and then to the island of Cyprus when they attempted to reenter Greece to continue their trip across the middle east they were denied visas Citing the political difficulties between Greece and Turkey Albert explained that the local media used their plight to illustrate the tension between the two countries
Eventually they were allowed to reenter Greece from the island of Rhodes and flew from there to Israel where they worked on a farm for five months in order to earn money and avoid Indias summer heat
From Israel the two pedaled to Egypt
and encountered political troubles again Because of civil war they were denied entrance into Sudan then they were dealt a disappointing blow when denied entrance into India during the Sikh uprising
Undaunted and now almost halfway around the world Albert and Bert proceeded to Thailand and Malaysia where they caught a Nedlloyd vessel to New Zealand There they labored a few months painting houses and scratching potatoes a practice by which potatoes grown during a rainy season are harvested from the mud
Crossing the Tasman Sea the pair took their time to see Australia Albert and Bert spent eleven months traveling from the east coast around to northern Australia working at various jobs and making lasting friendships Australia was our favorite place said Bert The people we met there opened their homes to us and made us feel welcome wherever we went
From Australia the two set sail for Japan via Singapore Japan was very beautiful said Albert but it was slow for us to get around As they traveled through Japan frequent stops and consultations were made to compare the symbols on their maps with road signs along the way The children there all seemed to know English but they were
reluctant to converse with us because they were afraid of making mistakes said Bert
Next stop North America with assistance from Nedlloyd Lines Landing at Manzanillo Mexico the pair was anxious to begin the United States portion of their trip They traveled to San Diego and then San Francisco where they looked up a friend who had lent them a magazine in Israel The magazine was returned Crossing America via Phoenix Dallas New Orleans and Orlando Albert and Berts last stop was Savannahs CONTAINERPORT where they boarded the Nedlloyd Rochester for home
Was it worth it Weve had some unbelievable experiences enough to write a book said Albert who admitted that he really doesnt plan to become an author after returning home to Zwolle
Albert a factory mechanic and Bert a plumber before becoming world travelers had no lofty ambitions just prior to making the final leg of their long journey Well probably give talks and show photographs of our trip to organizations at home but mainly we are going to enjoy being home for a while and seeing our family he said But Id still like to see India
Here we go again said Bert

Perhaps the most delicate part of the science of container delivery is marrying boxes with chassis Releases and clearances are critical but since containers have no wheels all the rapid processing in the world wont get them on the road The Port of Savannah has an important new partner in making sure plenty of chassis are available whenever theyre needed
Interpool is a worldwide organization specializing in shortterm chassis leasing They will offer equipment to Savannah ocean carriers truckers forwarderbrokers and agents on a daily basis Bob Santos
Interpools new Savannah terminal is just a stones throw from CONTAINERPORT guaranteeing prompt costeffective positioning of chassis
Director of Sales for the firm expects utilization to range from local deliveries to trips in the 500mile range Were looking for trip turnarounds to average three or four days for the Atlanta marketplace and beyond into Tennessee and Alabama for example
Interpools initial commitment to the Port of Savannah will take the form of 200

chassis This availability will be enhanced by the fact that Interpools fouracre facility is located on Garden City Terminal adjacent to CONTAINERPORT
The success of Interpool has been founded not only on timely provision of equipment but on cost savings in several key areas Because this equipment is available onterminal there is no need to dispatch a tractor to an offport depot to retrieve a chassis This eliminates the cost and time associated with a double dray
Raj Chander I is Interpools Manager of Billing and Administration for Neutral Chassis Pools in the USA and Bob McGrath r will manage Interpools new lease chassis operation in Savannah
In addition handling charges in and out of the depot are avoided
Interpools onterminal location also translates into time saved The process of securing chassis from a remote location involves a minimum of an hour or two This seemingly small amount of time

could make the difference between same day and next day delivery
Surveying costs for analyzing and appraising minor equipment damage are also eliminated The reason Interpool assesses no charges for damages such as headlights lenses wiring and brakes
When a shipper or receiver is faced with a chassis shortage his only option is to place the container in storage This entails charges for handling both in and out of the field location An Interpool chassis will make this cost addon unnecessary
Like most transportation entities Interpool is heavily involved in electronic data processing Their tracking computer as the name implies maintains status on all units in the system In addition it provides automatic notification to customers at 15day intervals to alert them to any chassis on lease beyond the customary shortterm This prevents excessive charges for equipment which may be lost in the customers distribution network
Continuity of chassis sourcing is how Santos describes his companys benefit to the ocean carrier Smaller carriers cant afford to maintain their own fleet They cant afford to hold onto a chassis for 30 days when theyre only going to use it for three or four days he explains Interpool provides them with a readily accessible equipment pool
Interpool will be targeting Savannahs larger steamship lines as well Santos expects these to use Interpool chassis to supplement their base fleet Well serve their peaks and valleys on a known cost flat fee basis he says
Robert J McGrath who will act as Pool Manager for the Savannah operation is expecting utilization factors to run in the 7585 range If activity goes as projected Interpool expects to expand its local commitment to 500 chassis by years end and will increase its leased acreage accordingly
Interpool introduces to Savannah an experienced diversified chassis leasing operation The company maintains some 30 offices worldwide in major port and transportation hubs Their newest provides Savannah transportation interests with a selfdescribed shortterm backup pool which will further expedite the delivery of goods through the South Atlantics busiest port

For 73 years the opulent luxury liner Titanic rested undisturbed in a dark and soundless sea canyon 13000 feet below the surface of the North Atlantic The Titanic disaster one of the worst in maritime history has been the subject of unanswered questions for generations
The largest and most extravagant vessel
of her time the Titanic was 882 feet long and 11 stories high displaced 66000 tons and boasted a top speed of 25 knots With steel plating a double bottom and watertight compartments which would enable the vessel to stay afloat with any two completely flooded the pride of the British White Star Line seemed destined

TITANIC
Atlantic raised questions not only regarding the design integrity of the vessel but also on the actions of the Titanics crew and the failure of a nearby vessel to heed distress signals But the one factor most attributed to the great loss of life was the acute shortage of lifeboats the Titanic carried lifeboats for only half of the more than 2200 passengers and crew aboard and many of them were lowered before being filled
The circumstances surrounding that horrifying night could be told by neither the Captain nor the First Officer at the helm when the iceberg was struck nor by the Titanics Chief Designer who all went down with the ship And because the Titanic came to her final rest two and onehalf miles below the oceans surface her secrets seemed destined to stay with her
At 105 am on September 1 1985 a scientist aboard the Research Vessel Knorr peered at three rounded lumps on the bottom of the ocean floor Squinting to distinguish the shapes through the murky water pictured on the TV monitor he concluded that they were too symmetrically placed to be organic matter of the type viewed in previous days of the expedition
ABOVE Twentynine enormous boilers see man standing in background produced 50000 hp to propel the Titanic ABOVE LEFT The three stoking ports of one of these boilers was the first image of the Titanic seen on the ocean floor
Consultations were made and then cries rang out They got her The RMS Titanic had been found
From that first sighting identified as one of the Titanics massive boilers the crew of the Knorr worked nonstop for eight days to further document their discovery
A joint project between the Woods Hole Massachusetts Oceanographic Institution WHOI and the Institut Franais de Recherche pour lExploitation des Mers IFREMER locating the Titanic was the acid test for prototypes of tethered underwater sensing equipment that will give man a telepresence on the ocean floor allowing vast areas of unexplored seafloor to be clearly seen and photographed
WHOIs second Titanic study mission utilized the talents of ALVIN a titaniumhulled threeman submersible outfitted with cameras on a 250 foot tether

For Dr Robert D Ballard WHOI Senior Scientist his debris plume theory had worked While other groups had failed to locate the Titanic by mowing the lawn of a 150 square mile area with sensing equipment Dr Ballard searched for debris which experience on other shipwrecks dictated would extend for more than a mile out from the wreck itself Historical data suggested that a 11 knot southerly current was running on the night of the sinking so the equipment was deployed in eastwest lines in the area generally accepted as the wreck site
In the days to follow clear pictures of wine bottles bed springs chamberpots silver trays and a ships telegraph materialized from the ocean floor and then the upright superstructure of the great ship appeared Covered with thick stalactites of rustthe Titanics stem is broken off and in pieces at some distance from the rest of the ship The number one and four stacks are gone and the crows nest rests against the bow The massive anchor chain each link weighing 175 pounds seems spookily ready to be lowered A second expedition with a more sophisticated camera probe revealed a gleaming brass chandelier impervious to the seas parasites still hanging swaying in the current
The questions of salvage and ownership
Photos sent back by ALVIN show rust encroaching on the Titanics glass portholes
are inevitable in light of the Titanic discovery Dean Cycon former Fellow at WHOI and a Providence Rhode Island attorney specializing in maritime law has spent considerable time attempting to unravel the case Cycon recently raised these questions in Savannah where he addressed an enthusiastic audience at a benefit for Savannahs Ships of the Sea Museum
The Titanic went down in international waters so no single country may lay claim to its contents regardless of the ships registry or the nationalities of the persons who were aboard This is the first time a major modem wreck has been located in international waters noted Cycon
The White Star Line was acquired in 1934 by Cunard Line which has no interest in salvaging the Titanic Insurance payments of approximately 4 million were made to White Star Line for the loss but the successorininterest to the 1912 insurance consortia which held the policies on the Titanic failed to file a position of authority thereby abandoning claim to the vessel even though it was until now technologically impossible to salvage
Theres no way the Titanic could be raised or even a major piece of it Cycon said And it would be an incredibly expensive and delicate operation just to pick up debris surrounding the wreck
Survivors and their descendants would have claim to personal property but mindful of the fact that no organic

material no cloth paper wood or human remains has survived the 75year entombment the prospect of finding any identifiable personal effects in the twisted wreckage is slim The second expedition located the pursers safe and found it empty and Cycon believes the crew emptied the safes before the vessel went down a common practice in those circumstances
Most importantly the survivors and their families are firmly opposed to disturbing the site I consider the Titanic to be my fathers grave says one
Last November President Reagan signed into law the Titanic Maritime Memorial Act which prohibits American citizens from salvaging the Titanic Coordinates of the site will not be released in an effort to discourage citizens from other countries who may attempt to salvage items to sell to museums and private collectors around the world
And now even though much has been answered questions remain Will interested nations agree on a policy towards salvage Can tomorrows technology raise the Titanic The saga continues
The Titanic lies in 13000 feet of water on a gently sloping alpinelike countryside overlooking a small canyon below Her bow faces north and the ship sits upright on the bottom two of her mighty stacks still pointing upward There is no light at this depth It is quiet and peaceful a fitting place for the remains of this greatest of peacetime sea tragedies to rest May it forever remain that way

LIFE AFTER US LINES 63 Ports and Counting in the Far East and Northern
Georgia I AnchorAge RSI M ECT 01
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
The literal obstacle to continued growth at CONTAINERPORT is being removed
With passage of the Federal Highway Act the Port of Savannah container facilities are assured of continued growth well into the new century
The outmoded Talmadge Bridge with 136 feet of vertical clearance could not accommodate the next generation of vessels slated to ply the tradeways between Savannah and other world ports Funding granted by the new law will generate a 175foot twinspanned bridge Landside piers will ensure optimum navigability in the newly dredged 500foot channel the product of Novembers Water Resources Act passage While these pieces of legislation do much to provide vehicles for the realization of our goals there is work yet to be done
Mulberry Grove the 2200acre tract of future container berths just west of Garden City terminal will play a major role in GPAs future by 1990 As with most undertakings of this size and scope there are obstacles to overcome to attain that goal Just as persistence on the part of many citizens helped to realize the replacement of
the Talmadge Bridge so must we work towards Mulberry Grove
We extend our appreciation to those maritime entities and government officials who worked so tirelessly for the bridge replacement funding Because they looked to the future our city our state and our region will prosper
In This Issue
The economic impact of the US Lines Chapter 11 action while significant has not proven disruptive to CONTAINERPORT operations as some observers might have predicted In fact projections made in the extensive Georgia Department of Transportation studies on the economic impact of the Talmadge Bridge replacement prudently targeted the Port of Savannah regional market share in forecasting its growth as a major South Atlantic load center We address US Lines departure in this issue In the feature titled Life After
US Lines we examine Savannahs viability as a major port and solicit comments on the state of the business from industry executives
IN MEMORIAM
This issue of Georgia AnchorAge is dedicated to the memory of the officers and crew of the Hanjin Incheon which was lost at sea on February 16 1987
The Georgia Ports Authority extends its sincere sympathies to the families of those aboard

Historically the Far East and Northern Europe trades have accounted for twothirds of the international commerce through the Port of Savannah Since United States Lines was a major presence in both trades a review of commerce between Savannah and both areas is in order
This survey reveals that for reasons of market access and cost Savannah remains a popular port among container shippers to and from Europe and the Pacific rim Further when they specify Savannah they can choose from an impressive lineup of solid ocean carriers
The Far East
In the uncertain arena of world commerce the last four decades have witnessed one predictable phenomenon The growth of trade between the US and the Pacific rim The postwar reconstruction of Japan was nothing short of miraculous and she has been joined in her resurgence by Korea Taiwan Singapore Hong Kong and others
James Liu President of Yang Ming Line USA suggests that cargo diversity has helped insulate the trade from slowdowns in particular manufacturing sectors He lists a
wide range of general department store merchandise machinery electronics and chemicals as major imports from the Orient His export listing includes raw materials forest products and project cargoes
At its inception allwater shipment of containers from the Far East to the US Atlantic seaboard was considered to be something of an unnatural cargo diversion In fact the allwater versus landbridge debate still rages but the continuing good health of the water option can be attributed to only one factor Shipper demand
Yang Ming and the three Japanese Lines have added container capacity to the Far East in the form of larger vessels

63 AND COUNTING
The allwater and landbridge options serve equal purposes and we have good reason to support both says Union Camps Jack Peluso International Transportation Manager based in Wayne New Jersey He continues Different products dictate different routing The nature and terms of the sale will make us lean toward one or the other
When the choice is allwater the reasons are cost with a healthy dose of service according to Peluso We generally enjoy faster transit times with the landbridge but we have to trade off cost and services he explains
Yangmings Liu concurs Its like the difference between ordinary and express mail Express mail costs more but its quicker Similarly the allwater route is the most economical You use the landbridge when theres some urgency
Hanjin Line is not convinced that allwater transit times have to be so different from bridge schedules James E Everett General Manager of Marketing Pricing for Hanjin North America explains We have a dramatically different economic track Some carriers are striving to offer the lowest cost per slot in order to withstand the rate wars We on the other hand try to provide the fastest possible transit time and a premium service which
The TFLNedlloyd group finds the Southeast a bustling market for European cargoes
will compete very favorably with minilandbridge service He notes that the lines KobeSavannah leg takes only 21 days with Yokohama only two days longer
Shippers and carriers interviewed agreed that the allwater route was critical to keeping landbridge rates reasonable The existence of a competitive service option is reflected not only in cost but in quality and reliability of service
The unfortunate withdrawal of US Lines from the allwater SavannahFar East trade left 600700000 tons of cargo on the docks in Savannah This of course exceeded the absorption capacity of the other carriers in the trade but efforts currently underway will bring the cargo back to its natural throughpoint
Several lines have added charter capacity to their rotations Both Hanjin and the Japanese Three Lines were already in the process of adding large vessels when the US Lines announcement broke
Much of the cargo available to carriers serving Savannah is the property of the many distributionconsolidation operators in and around the city KMart
Yokohama Tire Kawasaki Latco and other distributors are prime marketing targets for steamship lines On the outbound side everything from grapefruit to paper is consolidated in the port
The reasons are basic ones Closer is cheaper and Savannah enjoys the closest port access to major Southern and Midwestern markets from Atlanta through Chicago Rail and highway access are unsurpassed in the region and CONTAINERPORTs location outside of Savannah eliminates costly and timeconsuming delays associated with crosscity transportation
Ocean carriers respond to this cargo concentration with hub operations and heavy utilization of the daily intermodal
trains serving the port Over 100 motor carriers compete for inland delivery rights from the Savannah area
A Whole New Set of Customers Cargo availability ease of access and service dictate that additional carriers will enter the Savannah marketplace in the immediate future An emerging pattern in the transportation industry suggests that the carriers entering the ranks may be of a different breed
When shippers began demanding a single pointtopoint rate and a single transportation bill carriers responded by cooperating to produce a single document The next logical step in the progression was the socalled total transportation company which brought the diverse modes under a single parent company
The results were better coordination and control of international shipments
The plot thickens To maximize resource utilization these transglomerates are now considering marrying their domestic and international traffic Full trucks and trains mean reduced cost and ease of equipment redeployment
Hanjin Container Line is a subsidiary of the Hanjin Group which already has interests in Korean trucking terminal and stevedoring concerns Extending the total transportation concept to their US operations would be a natural one US activities of this type are certainly a possibility Were now studying this issue in order to participate in other transportation activities stated James Everett
Jack Peluso echoes shipper interest in the trend Its a good thing for the industry The companies such as CSXSeaLand that emerge will be strong and wellrepresented in the domestic and
GCL HapagLloyd and CGM operate a joint Northern European service to Savannah

international markets We could forsee others emerging if the partners are chosen carefully
He cautions that merger fever could be disastrous Not everybody can or should do it There are some strong candidates but not every railroad needs to have a steamship line or viceversa Peluso concludes Id like to answer the question again in two or three years but right now
I see more positives than negatives
Patricia Demetrio Vice President of Corporate Affairs for Trans Freight Lines indicates her company has no expansionabsorption plans beyond their current ownership of a truck line She cautions The total transportation company should only be a product of some potential benefit to the shipper
There is a danger in their becoming manipulative She agrees that some will develop but adds There are not many ideal mergers
TFL prefers to operate through solid relationships with land carriers We pioneered the intermodal department in the steamship line organization We have long recognized the importance of intermodal relationships We dont have to be married to an inland carrier to provide high quality service Demetrio added
Port directors worldwide would certainly wince if they heard their shiny mostlynew container facilities described as obsolete but for the new breed of transglomerates terminal requirements will be quite different
Ports will become ideal locations for combined intemationaldomestic container hubs What this means for terminal design is longer berths for larger ships perhaps larger than Panamax bottoms larger railyards with multiple access spurs and more spacious container yards
Railtotruck and shiptorail capability will join the more traditional shiptoyard jockey and storagetoinland mode transfers
Savannahs response is Mulberry Grove 2200 acres at the intersection of Interstate highways 95 and 16 Preliminary site plans call for eight berths each 1000 feet long each with a minimum of 100150 acres backup storage The new transportation giants are becoming a reality more quickly than anyone had predicted so GP A will begin development of this resource by 1990
North and West Europe Because of the condition of the dollar USEuropean trade has been somewhat depressed for the last 23 years The good news is that projections for 198788 are for continuation of the improvement experienced in the last two quarters of 1986 In short imports from Europe have stabilized while significant growth in outbound cargoes is occurring
Nedlloyd a major contender for
Hanjin Lines is a major new presence at the Port of Savannah
SavannahEurope cargoes is predicting fairly stable activity Exports of some base commodities are increasing while manufactured goods remain constant Strongest growth is coming from the South Atlantic and US Gulf markets reports Dick Ebel Vice PresidentNorth Atlantic
On the down side Nedlloyd reports that a softening dollar is depressing imports at this time
As with the Far East trade increased cargo availability is the order of the day for Savannahs European carriers Taking advantage of the increase are the newlyformed consortia TFLNedlloyd and Hapag LloydGCLCGM
A major factor in the increase in this trade has been a surge in European investment in this country The vast majority of new plant construction has been in the Southeast and Georgia has benefited greatly The states industrial developers feel that the Port of Savannah and Atlantas Hartsfield International Airport are two major selling tools in their arsenal Obviously much of Georgias success in attracting foreign investment revolves around its recognition as a fullservice transportation hub
Ebel of Nedlloyd summarizes The Southeast is recognized as one of the fastestgrowing regions in the United States Major European companies have established headquarters in the region The need for established dependable transport systems is an integral part of this expansion
The Crystal Ball
To analyze trade potentials a fist of pluses and minuses would be in order
1 The soft dollar Good for exports bad for imports The dollar may not be the factor it is acclaimed to be In fact export volumes have not jumped as expected and the feeling is growing that the currency
related spurt may not occur Evaluation
Break even
2 Competitiveness Everyone from the President down is calling for improved competitiveness as a cure for the trade deficit blues Somewhat surprisigly James Liu of Yang Ming agrees In the future
US products can be competitive if everyone understands the need for quality
Also you must address the needs of the marketplace abroad
Liu cites the example of the highly reputed US furniture company which failed in the Far Eastern marketplace because the sofas and chairs they sought to distribute were too big for both the diminutive Orientals and their smaller houses Liu sees the beginnings of change in this country citing USbuilt compact cars as an example Evaluation A growing plus
3 Protectionism In the transportation sector its not difficult to elicit a comment on protectionism Patricia Demetrio s It scares me to death is representative For a variety of historical and ethnic reasons barriers against Japanese products seem to be more palatable to the American public Unfortunately another emerging object of our wrath is our allies in Europe a phenomenon which many of us find a little more unsettling The fact remains the spectre of trade wars is a reality in both hemispheres
All agree with Demetrio when she says Some guarding of trade is inevitable
Patrick Contardo of Yang Ming puts it this way Its very difficult for people who oppose protectionism to maintain the status quo in the face of a continuing trade deficit
Likewise transportation concerns as well as US exporters are quick to urge a guarded approach Says Liu A protectionist policy cannot balance the trade

CHOOSES BRUNSWICK
Bavarian Motor Works of North America Inc the importer of luxuryperformance automobiles has announced plans to build a 45 million Vehicle Preparation Center in Brunswick
GPAowned Colonels Island is the site of the 25acre tract selected for construction of the facility When fully operational approximately 16000 automobiles per year will cross the Colonels Island docks for processing before distribution to 54 BMW dealers in six Southeastern states
BMW is taking steps to process all its automobiles through companyoperated centers We consider the Vehicle Preparation Center VPC process to be the
best way to meet product quality commitment to our dealers and owners explained Michael B Jackling Executive Vice President of the Montvale New Jerseybased importer VPCs give us the capability to deliver automobiles in showroom condition to our dealers thereby meeting joint quality objectives and freeing service departments to do maintenance and repair work rather than new car preparation
Its tough to look away from a shiny new BMW convertible but GPAs George Nichols does so long enough to welcome BMW Senior Vice President Frederic Hanau to Colonels Island
MarchApril 1987

A VPC performs over 100 mechanical and cosmetic inspections to BMW vehicles including checks of fluid and pressure levels torque valves and critical nuts and bolts plus an evaluation of running conditions during a dynamometer test Some customizing and options installation will also be performed at the new VPC which will employ about 30 local people
Another Colonels Island tenant International Auto Processing has been selected to perform nonmechanical preparation work on the cars until BMWs Vehicle Preparation Center is completed in mid1988 With 76000 square feet under cover and 75 acres of paved parking area IAP is equipped to offer the detailed attention demanded by BMW for its luxury automobiles The first shipment of BMWs arrived at Colonels Island in midApril
The Colonels Island facility marks BMWs second VPC commitment A facility in Laporte Texas opened in October of 1985 and now serves 131 dealers BMW has contracted to purchase land in Port Hueneme California to service the west coast and a search is being conducted for a Northeastern location The Colonels Island center will be built on land leased from Geoigia Ports Authority on a 15year basis with three fiveyear renewal options
International Auto Processing has ample amenities to accommodate acres of autos until BMWs vehicle preparation center is completed
While BMWs proposed operation represents a 45 million investment in building and equipment impact on the communitys economy is estimated at 3 million per annum But the commitment to GPAs rising star Colonels Island is even more significant
BMW joins Yugo America in choosing Colonels Island for its crucial Southeast import and distribution point Ease of access proximity to interstate highways and dealers land availability and anticipated gains in processing time were site selection factors for both importers Over 50000 subcompact Yugos have been driven across Colonels Island docks in calendar year 87 with continuing biweekly shipments
With two major auto importers now testifying to the advantages of Colonels Island as an import center others in the industry are reevaluating their longheld points of entry and processing operations Where two is company at Colonels Island three or more would never be a crowd with ample amenities to accommodate acres of autos

OCEAN TERMINAL
IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY
Plans have been announced for improvements at GPAs Ocean Terminal to facilitate more expedient handling of breakbulk cargoes The 1239000 project scheduled for completion in September 1987 has several components First the foundation of a previouslydemolished warehouse will be removed and a tenacre area from Transit Shed 17 across to K Shed will be leveled and paved to provide dockside storage Next a ramp will be installed to provide easy access for wheeled traffic from the dock at Berth 18 to the newlypaved yard The slighter grade will permit yard tractors forklifts and overtheroad trucks to move in a straight line between margin
and cargo marshalling yard
The package also provides for upgrading of rail leads to Berth 19 and Transit Shed 19 An innovative removable cover will be fabricated for the existing track well making it convertible for use by both wheeled vehicles and trains and serving to level the entire 475 x 200 margin
New lighting will be installed throughout the open storage area providing a minimum of two footcandles of illumination throughout the yard Finally a portable steel ramp will permit traffic to move from the rear of Berth 19 to grade level in the newly paved area
When the project is completed this summer benefits will be numerous
Breakbulk carriers will experience improved vessel turnaround Stevedores and longshoremen will work faster using the newly available traffic pattern And of course shippers of breakbulk cargoes can look for swifter deliveries at reduced cost
In this age of containerization the Port of Savannah remains one of the few ports making sizeable investments in breakbulk facilities 40 million expended in the last five years has made GPAs Ocean Terminal the prototype of the modem efficient breakbulk terminal handling over one milhon tons in calendar 1986

COMPUTER
MARRIAGE
ANNOUNCED
For those not fluent in computer jargon the newest improvement to Georgia Ports Authoritys innovative COBRA computer system can best be described as a happy marriage
A link between the COBRA system and Customs Brokers Automated Broker Interface ABI system allows Brokers to key in data to their ABI system with data extracted for US Customs and GPA use to expedite cargo clearance and movement This data is transmitted directly from the Brokers computer to GPA
Upon receipt of the information COBRA edits the data against the manifest and returns results to the Broker insuring accurate data for Customs At the same time data used for cargo movement is updated into COBRA The data is processed through Customs and the release is posted into COBRA up to five days in advance of vessel arrival See Building a Better COBRA Georgia AnchorAge JanuaryFebruary 1987
The major benefit is the elimination of duplicate keying into COBRA and ABI significantly improving the efficiency of the Brokers operation Mike Leech of WG Carroll and Company sees signifi

AnchorAge

cant time and cost savings for his Savannah office once the COBRAABI link goes into effect The expense of adding a phone line purchasing a modem and modifying our software to match COBRAs format seems insignificant in light of the savings well realize said Leech A conservative estimate is a 50 reduction in keying time on 80 of WG Carrolls entries each taking from two to thirty minutes to complete
Lindsay Waters Director of Data Processing at The Jennings Company looks forward to similar savings once the new system is operational Projected startup date at press time was April fifteenth
On announcing the new link Georgia Ports Authority became the first such entity in the country to establish an ABI link which conforms with the National Customs Brokers and Freight Forwarders Associations policy on service centers
With over 70 of the customs brokers in Savannah on the ABI system and nearly 100 online with GPAs COBRA system this new marriage would seem to have a promising future with time and costconscious Brokers and their customers

UPDATE
PORT OF ANTWERP
Although the Belgian port of Antwerp only became a major contender in Northern European shipping circles 30 years ago it now places seventh among world ports handling containerized goods second in Europe for containerized cargo handling and first in Europe for conventional and breakbulk traffics
Two key factors in Antwerps newlyfound success are its prime location just 56 miles from the North Sea on the banks of the River Scheldt and the excellent and constantly improving Belgian highway network Since the early 1960s Belgium has evolved from a country of cobbled backroads to become a direct route to the European hinterland via 68000 miles of smooth safe tollfree roads
1986 was a busy and important year for the Port of Antwerp According to Trade Commissioner Pete Bauwens of the Belgium Consulate in Atlanta Antwerp officials are encouraged by the ports growth in international transit and its continued effort in the field of investments
In the area of international transit Antwerps position as a chief European maritime gateway was strengthened considerably by port improvement projects began continued or completed in recent months Finishing touches were added to the biggest sea lock in the world 1600 x 223 located on the right bank of the Scheldt River Meanwhile on the left bank a new dock was being completed while construction began on an extra tunnel under the Scheldt
The construction of almost 4000 feet of additional berthing space is the result of an agreement between the City of Antwerp and the Belgian government whereby the city will pay 40 of the overall building costs and the Belgian government will pay 60 The cost of superstructure or equipment will be paid by the private sector Construction of the new quay begins in April 1987 with a completion target of 1989
Port companies worked together in 1986 to facilitate Antwerps continued success through increased investments More storage space was created including two new terminals on the left bank one dedicated to ores and coal and one to forest products A shed for china clay a new cold storage facility and a storage complex for dangerous goods were added
New equipment at the Port of Antwerp includes a 40ton capacity floating crane a 52ton capacity mobile crane two 35ton straddle carriers and a new fruit cargoveyor
According to the Antwerp Harbour Masters Office 16441 ships called Antwerp in 1986 only a slight increase over the 1985 figure of 16420 But in tonnage a heftier increase of 61 was noted The growth from 119631147 GRT to 126944358 GRT is a historical record Average ships tonnage increased by 435 GRT over 1985
The Port of Antwerps naval repair yard repesents one of the oldest industries in Belgium employing 4000 workers at 17

Bill Byrne Jr is Area Manager for XTRAs new Savannah office located in the newly renovated City Market office retail complex We wanted to expand our operations to the South Atlantic area and considered several cities before selecting Savannah It was strongest in terms of its central location in our territory and the level of activity at the Port of Savannah was another deciding factor said Byrne
From its Southeastern base of operations in Savannah XTRA serves customers in an area reaching from Wilmington North Carolina to Jacksonville Florida For storage and positioning of equipment in this broad rea XTRA has established depots in Wilmington Charleston Savannah and Jacksonville When equipment is offhired it is interchanged through these depots inspected and made available to the next lessor after any necessary repairs Savannah Intermodal Repair serves as XTRAs local depot Located on Grange Road just west of CONTAINERPORT XTRA equipment can be dispatched to arrive at the port within minutes

SCI Celebrates 25th
ADDS SAVANNAH BREAKBULK CALL
The Shipping Corporation of India on the eve of its 25th anniversary has announced a revamping of its shipping services between USACanada and ports in India and Bangladesh
An express container service will be operated on a 15day frequency with Savannah designated as the South Atlantic port of call In addition SCI will initiate monthly breakbulk service from the Indian subcontinent to Savannah to service the jute and burlap trade
Commencing at Calcutta the vessels will call Bangladesh ports of Chalna and Chittagong then Bombay prior to calling Savannah Baltimore New York and Montreal on inducement are also included in the rotation We think of Savannah as the foremost port in the US because it caters to the jute industry said
VF Crasto SCI Owners Representative Transit time from the jute belt to Savannah is slated for 45 days
Andy Dunkle General Manager of Harrington Ship Agencies reports that
the addition of a breakbulk ship each month will greatly enhance service to the regions carpet industry Seventyfive percent of all carpet produced in the United States comes from Georgia mills with jute and burlap the backing of choice for most carpet products
SCI celebrated its silver anniversary and expanded service with a recent luncheon at Ocean Terminal aboard the Vishva Pallav As his guests viewed the halfton jute rolls being discharged Dr Crasto added SCI vessels have been calling Savannah since the beginning when we had only five ships in service Savannah is our port for the South Atlantic and Gulf Savannah is SCIs consolidation and positioning point for cargo originating as far away as the Gulf states Efficient rail service into Savannah makes this a cost and timeefficient proposition
SCI vessels accept containerized traffic on all three monthly sailings between Savannah and Indian subcontinent ports

THOMAS SPEAKS
OUT ON
TRANSPORTATION
ISSUES
From trade legislation to user fees Savannahs freight forwarders and Customs Brokers recently received a detailed update from US Representative Lindsay Thomas of Georgias First Congressional District
Arranged by the groups political action committee headed by Joe Ebberwein of the Jennings Company the meetings purpose was to provide local interests with an update on legislative issues affecting the transportation sector Thomas was introduced by Mike Leech of WG Carroll current President of the Independent Freight Forwarders Customs Brokers Association of Savannah
On the subject of the trade deficit Thomas reported there would be a number of bills aimed at reversing the trend He called for consensus legislation that is not outright protectionist but that assures equitable access to the international market for our domestic producers
Thomas noted that any major piece of legislation is generally followed by a series
US Congressman Lindsay Thomas sees little distinction between taxes and
user fees
of amendments and corrections to iron out any unforeseen problems He expects this to occur in regard to the new tax code and cautioned his audience to monitor the inevitable changes to those sections which will impact their businesses
There seems to be some disagreement in Washington as to the distinction if any between a tax and a user fee Thomas sides with those who see little difference and proposed that regardless of definition user fees reflect the pay as you go mentality prevalent in the capital today He predicted continuing repercussions for the transportation industry in the areas of US Customs the Coast Guard and harbor maintenance and improvements

Juliette Gordon Low
Ive got something for the girls of Savannah and all America and all the world and were going to start it tonight
These words spoken 75 years ago signaled the beginning of the largest voluntary organization for girls in the world The woman who spoke them wealthy and eccentric Savannahian Juliette Gordon Low was to devote the rest of her life to Girl Scouting
Bom in Savannah on Halloween night 1860 Juliette Gordon Low nicknamed Daisy was second oldest of six children Her parents William Washington Gordon II and Nellie Kinzie Gordon traced their origins back to the settling of the United States As a child of six Nellie Kinzie
Gordons grandmother was kidnapped by Iroquois Indians Named Little Ship Under Full Sail by her captors she lived among the Indians four years before being returned to her grieving family by the kindhearted Chief Her grandfather W W Gordon I founded the Central of Georgia

Railroad and was Mayor of Savannah
Juliettes parents accomplished in their own rights fostered a loving homelife and set energetic examples for their large family Small and quickwitted Juliettes mother was fluent in five languages rode painted played the piano and excelled in whatever she undertook Described by her children as fearless she slid down bannisters and was witnessed on one occasion tackling a pickpocket in the street
Despite her northern origins Nellie Kinzie Gordon remained in Savannah to endure the hardships of the Civil War With her husband at the front lines as a Captain of the Confederacy and her house full of displaced relatives Mrs Gordon received a visit from General William T Sherman a friend of her family Fouryearold Juliette sat upon his knee and after ascertaining that he was indeed a Yankee exclaimed My Daddy shot lots of Yankees and proceeded to sing a bawdy rebel song as she was ushered from the room
Juliettes father William Washington Gordon II returned from the war to enter the Savannah cotton trade and became Commander of the Georgia Hussars militia
a post previously held by his father and grandfather President McKinley appointed him to the Puerto Rico Peace Commission during the SpanishAmerican hostility and he served three terms in the state legislature A dominating yet charming personality he was a leader in every circumstance and in times of stress was decisive and immovable
Throughout her life Juliettes parents were an inspiration and example to her and each was her counselor and companion It is not surprising that she inherited many of their characteristics serving her well in later fife as she worked tirelessly to organize the scouting movement
A spirited child with a boundless imagination Daisy Gordon was a gifted artist becoming a skilled painter and sculptor as an adult She wrote poetry and theatricals which she delighted in acting out
The elaborate wedding of Juliette Gordon and Willie Low was dubbed by Savannah society as the social event of 1886 Each bridesmaid received a daisy pin encrusted with 50 diamonds as a keepsake Juliette is seated at right center with her new husband standing behind her Juliettes mother can be seen to her left and her father WW Gordon II holds a granddaughter in his lap
herself Summers for the Gordon children were spent at Etowah Cliffs an estate in North Georgia where they escaped Savannahs heat to romp with a gang of twenty cousins who summered at neighboring estates
At fourteen Juliette attended Edgehill a Virginia school for young ladies conducted by the Misses Randolph who were granddaughters of Thomas Jefferson Following her schooling in Virginia General and Mrs Gordon decided to send their three daughters Nellie Daisy and Alice to an exclusive finishing school in New York The rigors of a strict boarding school could not suppress Juliette who never needed coaxing to perform what became known as Daisys stunts She was known to wear fresh vegetables in her hat once went trout fishing in full evening dress with Rudyard Kipling and was notorious for driving her automobile on the wrong side of the street She once wrote her mother Mama I cant keep all the rules Im too much like you Ill keep clear of the big scrapes but little ones I cant avoid
In 1886 Juliette and William Mackay Low were married at Christ Episcopal

crust and enjoyed a life of foxhunts arid balls with the nobility of Europe But despite a seemingly charmed existence the Lows childless marriage deteriorated and became a social facade
While her husband spent an increasing
amount of time on big game hunts in exotic lands Juliette turned to the serious study of art She continued to develop her sculpting techniques and always in search of new experiences took up woodcarving and blacksmithing During one winter she forged a set of ornamental iron gates for her Warwickshire estate which now grace the garden of her family home in Savannah
Willie died suddenly in 1905 while taking a cure for his chronic poor health A divorce had been discussed but never settled and as a final insult the bulk of Willies estate was left to his mistress Juliette contested the will and regained 500000 which she later used to found the Girl Scouts of America
Feeling that her best years had been wasted Juliette spent the next seven years shuttling aimlessly between Savannah England and Scotland She traveled extensively taking nieces and nephews abroad to India and Egypt She continued studying sculpture in Paris Then in 1911 Juliette Gordon Low met Sir Robert BadenPowell a British military hero who would change her life

A gallant soldier who defended Mafeking in the Boer War BadenPowell had organized an efficient corps of boys who drilled and carried messages relieving the men for more important duties This corps along with BadenPowells book Aids to Scouting had planted the seeds for the scouting movement
Sir Robert as he was known to friends was full of plans for Boy Scouts and instilled in Juliette an enthusiasm for a parallel girls organization Juliette wrote in her journal on June 1 1911
Today in the few moments I have had to myself my mind has irresistibly dwelt on BP BadenPowell A sort of intuition comes over me that he believes I might make more out of my life and that he has ideas which if I follow them will open a more useful sphere of work before me in future Almost immediately Juliette formed a singular vision Not a nebulous dream of the vaguely wellintentioned but a clearcut picture of what Girl Scouting would mean for American girls and for the peace of nations Having a purpose to her life and the means to serve others for which she had longed Juliette began by forming a troop of Girl Guides in the Scottish valley Glen Lyon situated near her country home
That first small troop of seven girls met
Toward the end of her life with Girl Scouting over 150000 strong Juliette proudly received Lord BadenPowell at World Camp
on Saturday afternoons Some walked miles to the meeting but Juliette served them a sumptuous tea while they learned knottying camping first aid map reading and signaling From impoverished families the inevitable fate of these girls was to leave their valley for factory jobs in the city Determined to find a way for the girls to make a living at home Juliette taught them to raise chickens and spin wool and helped to seek markets for their products
From the success of this first troop and a similar group which she started in Lambeth a very poor part of London Juliette felt ready to bring Scouting to America Sailing from England on the same liner as Sir Robert who was embarking on a world tour to visit the Boy Scouts the two friends continued to map out plans for worldwide scouting Also on this voyage was Miss Olave Soames who would later become Lady BadenPowell and Chief of Girl Guiding in England
On arriving in Savannah Juliette called her friend Miss Nina Pape headmistress of a Savannah school and made her nowfamous pronouncement about having something for the girls of Savannah and all of America and the world And she did in
The Birthplace
The Gordon family home a stately mansion on the comer of Bull and Oglethorpe streets in Savannah was built in 1818 of scored stucco over Savannah gray brick It boasted intricate designs of carved vines blossoms and Egyptian faces over windows and doors with fancy plasterwork molding in the Regency style of the period A third story and curved piazza were added in 1886 designed by Detlef Lienau a prominent New York architect
In 1953 Girl Scouts of the USA purchased the house to honor their founder and to establish a national program center Following three years of restoration
financed in part by contributions from Girl Scouts the house was returned to the period of Juliette Gordon Lows girlhood Many of the Gordon familys belongings were returned the house including portraits of Gordon family members Juliettes artwork and Scouting memorabilia and the massive chandeliers purchased for the house by her father Named Savannahs first Registered National Historic Landmark in 1965 the house is known simply as The Birthplace to all Girl Scouts Nearly one million visitors have toured Juliette Gordon Lows home since its dedication in 1956
fact begin that night March 12 1912 In the carriage house of Juliette Lows Savannah home her niece Daisy Gordon was registered as the first Girl Guide in the United States The name for the American counterpart of Girl Guides was changed to Girl Scouts the following year
Those early Girl Scouts under careful direction from Juliette dared to wear bloomers go on long camping trips and pursued badges in telegraphy farming and electrical work Every detail was attended to
In 1920 Juliette Low hired Aviator Lawrence Druggs to fly his Farman biplane over Manhattan so that she could view Girl Scout National Headquarters from the air

The will and determination of Juliette Gordon Low is evident in a story related by her nephew former Guideposts Editor Arthur Gordon During a hike on Tybee Island the troop encountered a moonshiner The man jumped out of the bushes brandishing a shotgun forbidding the girls to venture any further Sniffing the air Juliette informed the man that he had a still hidden in the woods When the man admitted it was so Juliette asked him how much he charged Fifty cents a gallon came the reply Heres a dollar she reportedly saidPut two gallons in my car Come on girls straight ahead
During World War I Girl Scouts aided the Red Cross served as messengers planted victory gardens and sold millions of Liberty Bonds By the end of the war Girl Scouting was present in every state but Utah and even in the territory of Hawaii
The last years of Juliette Gordon Lows
fife were spent fighting a secret battle with cancer Keeping her illness from friends and family until her flagging energy demanded a less hectic schedule Juliette gracefully retired as leader of the Girl Scouts Almost always seen in those days in her Girl Scout uniform with her big campaign hat and whistle she was a proud and indomitable figure
Six months before her death Juliette returned to England to settle her affairs and say her goodbyes The transatlantic crossing presented the opportunity for one of her last stunts Learning of a shipboard masquerade party she draped herself with bedsheets tied liquor bottles around her waist and took first prize as Departed Spirits On January 17 1927 Juliette Gordon Low died in her Savannah home She was buried in her uniform in the pocket of which rested a telegram from the National Board of the Girl Scouts It read You are not only the first Girl Scout but the best Girl Scout of them all
The spirit of Juliette Gordon Low fives through todays Girl Scouts young women from all walks of fife who grow together to responsible womanhood They pursue interests ranging from archaeology to the arts to hot air ballooning following in the footsteps of their founder by making the most of themselves while being of service to others
On March 12 1987 at 400 pm in every time zone in the United States Girl Scouts joined together to form a Promise Circle repeating the words of the Girl Scout Promise in tribute to Juliette Gordon Low
From the first American troop of 18 girls in 1912 Girl Scouts numbered 167925 by the time its founder was laid to rest in Savannahs Laurel Grove cemetery Now in its 75th anniversary year the worlds largest voluntary organization for girls numbers nearly 3 million in 174000 troops and has

SHEETROCK
TriRivers is already experiencing renewed cargo flow as a result of the new dredging agreement Windsor Gypsum a Houstonbased wallboard manufacturer has begun shipping barges of sheetrock to its distributors via GPAs barge terminals in Bainbridge and Columbus
Manufactured in McQueeney Texas and trucked to the Port of Houston the cargo is then loaded onto barges in 14foot stacks for the trip across the Gulf and
up the Apalachicola River 50 to 60 truckloads of product can be loaded onto each 195foot barge operated by St James Transportation Company in Covington Louisiana
JB Boone President of Windsor Gypsum cites the reasonable price as the most attractive selling point for barge shipments And with high demand for building products in the booming sunbelt states of Florida and Georgia Windsor Gypsums wallboard is in the heart of an ideal distribution area upon discharge at Bainbridge and Columbus
Windsor Gypsums wallboard is ideally suited for barge stowage
A unique lifting device right is used to discharge two stacks of board at once
The barges used by Windsor Gypsum to ship wallboard to Georgia hold 5060 truckloads of product below
The Chattahoochee River forms the natural boundary between Alabama and Georgia The Flint River with its headwater slightly south of Atlanta merges with the Chattahoochee to form the Apalachicola River which then flows south through Florida and empties into the Gulf of Mexico at Apalachicola
The TriRivers System came mio ucmg with the 1945 Rivers and Harbors Act
Since that time it has carried barge traffic to and from a 19000 square mile basin 76 of which lies in the state of Georgia
Georgia Ports Authority operates two barge terminals on the TriRivers system Columbus facilities include a 187000 barrel tank facility and 27317 square feet of warehouse space Liquid caustic soda and crude oil top the cargo list Bainbridge with
107000 square feet of warehouse space handled 125740 tons of bulk cargoes in fiscal year 86 including fertilizer ingredients and oats
While tonnage history for the TriRivers is not one of impressive growth peaking at
1070000 in 1977 two factors have accounted for the decline in traffic volumes The first a rock bed problem was solved in 197576 with the removal and relocation of exposed rock from the channel bottom to the channel edge freeing the waterway of obstacles while providing a habitat for marine life
The second and newly addressed problem is scheduled dredging With the Navigation Maintenance Plan Proposal the three neighboring states in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers have agreed to issue simultaneous permits on a fixed schedule to maintain uniform channel depths and guarantee navigable drafts
Drought and the accompanying silting problem has plagued the region for several years rendering much of the waterway unusable without constant dredging Blountstown Florida was a major choke point for barge traffic and its location just north of the Gulf entrance point made it impossible to send cargo up the waterway
Under the new agreement The Flint and Chattahoochee Rivers will be dredged every two years to a ninefoot project depth with a twofoot overdredge and twofoot advance maintenance dredging The Apalachicola will receive annual dredging to maintain a seven to ninefoot channel The dredging will also reduce the effects of future drought conditions by relieving the buildup of sediment in the channels
This longterm agreement on a trial basis for now will extend for 25 years of coincidental permitting with a review every five years With the first phase of dredging now complete shippers are using economical barge service to reach their nearby markets Once again barge traffic on the TriRivers System is alive and well

FINNISHED PRODUCT
When Tampella Ltd of Tampere Finland decided to expand its Power Machinery division with the opening of a US office the logical location was Atlanta in the heart of the countrys pulp and paper industry The move proved to be ideally timed when the firm accepted an order for a turnkey recovery boiler at almost the same time
The boiler is being installed at an existing kraft paper plant in northwest Georgia The 40 million project will ultimately result in the ocean shipment of five vessel loads of components almost all of which will move through Savannah
Tampella has appointed the Myers Group to coordinate the transportation end of the project With its worldwide network of offices and agents Myers was an ideal choice for the assignment The firm boasts a 130year history in the industry and has expanded from its beginnings in customs clearance to air freight warehousing Customs brokering truck brokering and NVO services The Myers Group Project Division is responsible for the Tampella cargo
The most recent vessel to deliver cargo in conjunction with the paper mill project was the MV Norlandia The West Germanregistered bottom delivered some 5571 cubic meters of cargo weighing 1823 tons Thirtyseven lifts of 21 tons apiece were included in the consignment Statistics for the total fiveship movement read 15000 cubic meters
5000 weight tons and 15000 revenue tons
The recovery boiler represents Tampellas first project of this size in the United States The firm is responsible for the entire package from design through fabrication transportation and supervision of erection at the plant site
The Myers Project Division prides itself on advance work According to Traffic Manager Phillip Kaisharis the firm emphasizes preplanning and is not afraid to spend money up front to make sure that their bid package is comprehensive He explains The key to our success is that we dont just leave things to chance We believe in the personal touch and in being there to control the way everyone in
the transportation chain handles the product In this case the total package included arranging of inland transportation and freight forwarding in Finland ocean transportation Customs clearance stevedoring and inland transportation to the job site
Kaisharis indicated that Myers convinced Tampella to use Savannah for three reasons facility accessibility and management These three combined to afford turnaround and delivery schedules which made the port the most costeffective alternative according to Kaisharis
Palmetto Shipping was agent for the Norlandia and handled stevedoring chores as well Kaisharis singled out Gay Trucking which provided inland carriage for particular praise They were more than cost competitive and their service has been exceptional
The MV Norlandia was one of five ships delivering Tampella recovery boiler components to the US for installation at a northwest Georgia paper plant

vessel was still being unloaded Kaisharis noted
Tampella is no newcomer to the US marketplace The companys Tamrock Division and partnership in TVW have served the mining and pulp and paper industries for 20 years The boiler divisions decision to open an American office signals a much greater presence for the firm With this in mind the firm has formed Tampella Inc to serve American industry and two of its three US subsidiaries have located in Atlanta Those companies are Tampella Power Machinery and Tampella Paper Machinery
With the concentration of pulp and paper manufacturing in the Southeast its not surprising that Tampella chose to center its US expansion in Georgia And company officials are conservatively enthusiastic about Tampellas entrance into American business saying If Tampella is as successful in the US market as it has been in other markets the Savannah port should see many more shipments such as this

GULF WIND EXTENDS TO WEST COAST
CSX Transporation and Southern Pacific Transportation have announced a joint agreement to extend the Gulf Wind CSXs dedicated intermodal train to ramps between New Orleans and the west coast
Operating Monday through Saturday since December first the Gulf Wind has been providing reliable secondday service for import and export cargo between Savannah and the Gulf coast
Under the new agreement with Southern Pacific westbound cargo leaving Savannah at 900 pm will arrive in Houston on the morning of the third day in Los Angeles on the morning of the sixth day and in Oakland on the afternoon of the seventh day following receipt of cargo Eastbound cargo follows a similar schedule Doublestack capability on the Gulf Wind remains intact through the new west coast extension which began operation on April 1 1987 Singlefactor jointline ramptoramp rates will be in effect resulting in reduced administrative costs and speedy landbridging in both directions
Additional information regarding westbound rates and schedules for the Gulf Wind is available from CSX in Baltimore For eastbound movements contact Southern Pacific in San Francisco
Consolidating intermodal operations into one modem efficient hub is the rationale behind CSX Transportations new state of the art intermodal terminal in Atlanta the largest in its system
Replacing two smaller facilities the new terminal is located in east Atlanta within two miles of Interstates 2075 and 85 The terminal is operating seven days a week on a 24hour basis
Twentytwo trains a day will use the facility including daily dedicated piggyback trains to and from Savannah Cincinnati AlexandriaPhiladelphia Chicago Florida New Orleans and Memphis CSX spokesmen cite a savings of one hour transit time in both directions on the Savannah piggyback train alone
We believe this new terminal paves the way for substantial service improvements for customers throughout our intermodal network said Richard D Sanborn President and CEO of CSX Transportations Distribution Services Business Unit

FROM MEMPHIS TO MEMPHIS VIA SAVANNAH
whom he called beautiful companion Many historians believe Ramesses II was the Pharaoh of the Exodus
Ramesses is remembered as a prolific builder of temples Many of the monuments still standing in Egypt were built by him Ramesses built the magnificent hall of columns in the temple of Amun at Kamak a structure large enough to contain the Houston Astrodome Ramesses also built The Ramesseum his funerary temple the temples at Abu Simbel and added to the temples at Luxor Abydos and Memphis the capital city of ancient Egypt
In war Ramesses was fiercely ambitious Caught in a surprise attack by the Hittites at Kadesh Ramesses leapt into his war chariot and held off the attack until a support force could arrive from the coast Several years later the Pharaoh signed one of the first international peace treaties As a display of his sincerity Ramesses married the daughter of the Hittite King
Ramesses probably died at the age of 92 Following his death mummification of his body and other ritualistic preparations lasted for 70 days His body was then conveyed by royal barge to the Valley of the Kings for final burial The tomb was looted and Egyptian priests moved the mummy to
a secret tomb not discovered until the 19th century Today the mummy of Ramesses lies in a sarcophagus at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo His basic facial features are still recognizable with tufts of red hair clinging to a blackened face
The reign of Ramesses II the second longest in Egyptian history still holds fascination for people all over the world Known during the time of his empire as

Nineteenpound gold necklace one of six found on the mummy of King Psusennes I
Presented in cooperation with the Egyptian Antiquities Organization the exhibition contains more than 70 priceless artifacts By comparison the Tutankhamun Exhibition which toured North America a decade ago contained 55 objects
Exquisitely crafted gold jewelry highlighted by a 19pound necklace are featured in the exhibition Also on display are Ramesses gold and lapis lazuli bracelets and earrings which belonged to Ramesses father Seti II
A rich array of statues depict Egyptian gods and royal figures and a collection of funerary artifacts includes Ramesses coffin lid
The ancient statue of Ramesses II traveled in four crates draped with Egyptian flags Careful coordination and handling by everyone involved in the move helped make the day fit
for a pharaoh
The first known clock in the world the Kamak clepsydra along with delicately painted papyrus reliefs vessels bowls and tools reflect the high level of artistry and scientific skill achieved by the ancient Egyptians

Shipping kept a close watch on the transfer of the precious cargo to three Trans Freight Express flatbed trucks for the 15hour trip to Memphis
The massive statue is a rosecolored granite likeness of Ramesses II 25 feet long and weighing 4712 tons It was found in 1962 near the ancient city of Memphis during construction of a restaurant Historians believe it is one of
a pair of statues which stood at the entrance to the Temple of Ptah
When found the statue was broken into three main pieces and thousands of small pieces With no funds available for restoration the statue was left lying on the roadside for two decades On a visit to the ancient Egyptian capital in 1985 the Mayor of Memphis Tennessee became aware of the statues plight and returned to Memphis
determined to raise the 100000 needed for the statues restoration Donors were found in CocaCola USA and the Memphis CocaCola Bottling Company and restoration was completed by midJanuary 1987 Piecing the statue together took six months and about 40000 man hours to complete

Ancient Memphis located just below Cairo on the Nile River Delta enjoys a close relationship with its namesake city in Tennessee which is also located on a river delta the Mississippi The Egyptian Institute of Art and Archaeology at Memphis State University has established a dig in ancient Memphis and has close ties with the Egyptian government in the exchange of resources and ideas

The Wrap Up
From a port perspective losing onethird of your container traffic qualifies as a major jolt But the business of transportation isnt about ports or even carriers its about shippers
The fact is that in both the North Europe and Far East trades Savannahs involvement remains extensive The marketing considerations which attract shippers remain in place as do a large number of prestige carriers eagerly competing for their business
While the players may vary the name of the game remains the same Savannah is the best port for reaching the markets of the South and Midwest

PERSPECTIVE
WORK YET TO BE DONE
In the early morning hours of May third Brunswicks Sidney Lanier Bridge was struck and damaged by a cargo vessel leaving the port Miraculously there were no injuries but the bridge which spans the Brunswick River just east of GPAs Brunswick facilities sustained 13 million in damages
Since the bridge was struck and is undergoing repairs in the open position the Brunswick harbor has suffered no traffic decline in and out of port and industrial facilities But the incident serves to remind us that there is work yet to be done in Georgia to remove obstacles to continued portrelated growth
The 31yearold Brunswick bridge is an outdated dropdeck structure with a vertical clearance of 139 feet A horizontal clearance of only 250 feet between the two midchannel piers sorely restricts vessels transiting the port to oneway traffic
Brunswicks potential to reach worldclass port status should be unimpeded with a nonrestrictive bridge and river channel improvements allowing access for larger vessels Our goals for the short range are the replacement of the bridge along with a 36
footdeep by 500footwide main river channel extending to Colonels Island We would also work towards a 1500foot diameter turning basin south of Andrews Island to accommodate worldclass vessels calling Colonels Island
With a 150 increase in Brunswick port traffic projected over the next four years as a direct result of aggressive overall port improvements its easy to grow complacent and resist making further alterations to a going concern But ports that maintain a status quo position not working to provide infrastructure to meet the needs of potential customers face swift and sure stagnation
The time to fight for the future of Brunswick is now Local State and Federal officials must be made aware that improvements to the Brunswick harbor are necessary for continued portrelated growth in the region There is much to lose and everything to gain

Columbus Line Arrived Marks 37 4 1 Steamship lines for Savannah
In a testimony to the growing South American trade Hamburgbased Columbus Line has inaugurated a new service between the US east coast and the South American east coast with Savannah designated as the South Atlantic port of call
Four vessels will be rotated in the new biweekly service representing both owned and chartered tonnage Each 650TEU capacity vessel is capable of accommodating breakbulk and refrigerated cargoes as well as containers
Savannah has been chosen as last US port of call in a lineup starting with New York Philadelphia Baltimore and Norfolk South American ports will include Rio de Janiero and Santos Brazil Montevideo Uruguay and Buenos Aires Argentina
Columbus Line inaugurated its new USSouth American service with the Columbus Olivos Newly painted with Columbus Line signature red the chartered vessel arrived at CONTAINERPORT on a Sunday morning Tom Abernathy of Carolina Shipping Savannah agent for Columbus Line reported steady loading and discharge of containers along with the usual lastout port activity of restowage for correct discharge order General cargo and heavy equipment is expected to fill the outbound manifests of the Columbus Line vessels with refrigerated cargoes and leather goods dominating space on the northbound return
With the new service Columbus Line continues a long tradition of South American port calls Its parent company HamburgSud established a EuropeSouth America service in 1871 and continues the service today with a fleet of modem containerships In 1957 when Hamburg Sud decided to begin a breakbulk service between the east coasts of North and South America a new name had to be found The name HamburgSudamerikanische DampschifffahrtsGesellschaft was found to be unpronounceable for most North and South Americans Since the beginning of telegraphic services the parent companys cable address had been Columbus so Columbus Line was chosen as the name for the new line
In the early 1960s Columbus Line vessels sailed to New Zealand on a trial basis to load lamb for markets on the US west coast The route became so successful that

DRAMA
It doesnt matter how many times youve watched a giant piece of machinery discharge from a ship Even old dockhands whove seen it all watch with rapt attention as the special lifting apparatus is rigged secured and clear and as the cables strain and the piece becomes airborne you always hold your breath until its safely cradled on the bed of a railcar or truck
Savannahs Ocean Terminal was the backdrop for another such dramatic machinery move as a lime kiln bound for Federal Paperboard Plant in Augusta Georgia transited the dock
Manufactured in different parts of the world for Denmarkbased FL Smidth Company the total weight of the machine approaches 500 tons Originally designed for cement making during which lime was heated in a kiln its special configuration was found to lend itself to other applications as well like the chemical recovery process to be utilized at this kilns Augusta destination This is the second FL Smidth kiln to discharge in Savannah in recent months Another unit bound for a Buckeye Cellulose plant in Perry Florida crossed the docks a little more than a year ago
Arriving in Savannah aboard the Hyundai vessel White Opal and the CGM vessel Provence all except the largest section were discharged directly onto WT Mayfield trucks for the short trip to Augusta For the massive kiln section a special NorfolkSouthern train with cleared tracks on either side was required to accommodate the extra width
Citing the cooperation of the Stevedores involved as a key factor in helping to move the pieces swiftly and safely was Guy Jervis with FW Myers Customs Broker for the move Their expertise and the helpfulness of everybody at the Port helped us to meet the contractors schedule and save our customer money said Jervis

YUGOSLAVIAN TRACTORS ARRIVE AT COLONELS ISLAND
Colonels Island fast becoming a major east coast port of entry for automobiles is now receiving small Yugoslavianmade farm tractors for discharge and processing
Tractors manufactured by Industria Masina I Traktora IMT in Belgrade Yugoslavia will be arriving monthly at the Georgia Ports Authority facility at Brunswick
Upon discharge the tractors will be cleaned and prepared for delivery by International Auto Processing which holds similar contracts with BMW and Yugo for onsite predelivery services for automobiles arriving at Colonels Island
RobisonWoods Tractor Company in Guntown Mississippi holds sixteenstate distribution rights for the IMT tractors Charles Woods coowner with Doug Robison of the distributorship explained that although IMT makes tractors of up to 400 horsepower his company plans to
import only four IMT models with a horsepower range of 39 to 70 Our customer is a parttime farmer with a small place in the country and a job in the city says Woods As the US farm economy improves RobisonWoods hopes to import IMTs more powerful models
Less expensive than comparable Americanmade tractors because of low Yugoslavian labor costs IMT tractors feature licensed Perkins diesel engines and spare parts that are interchangeable between different IMT tractors and with MasseyFerguson tractors for ease of maintenance in the American market In fact IMT tractors are recognized as being very similar to MassseyFerguson tractors RobisonWoods a MasseyFerguson dealer for 33 years will stock about 100000 of IMT parts at their Mississippi distributorship

The decision by RobisonWoods to bring the IMT tractors into Colonels Island is a success story for the Annual Red Carpet Tour sponsored by the Business Council of Georgia Woods and
IMTs first shipment into Colonels Island awaits pickup by RobisonWoods trucks The bright red color and classic design of the IMT model 539 has proven successful in American markets
Robison signed onto the tour of siteselection executives to scout Savannah as a port of entry for the tractors We realized we needed an East Coast port of discharge for the fastest possible transit time said Woods and the Georgia coast is a very convenient distribution point for our Southeast area but we had made no decision on Georgia over any other east coast ports
Arriving in Savannah on April 8th Woods and Robison were told of the ideal location of Colonels Island and the availability of a professional processing plant onsite They were taken to Brunswick that afternoon papers were signed within
a matter of days and the first tractors were discharged at Colonels Island just over a month later on May 11th We were worried that it was all too easy said Robison but the cooperation weve received from the people we met in Georgia has made everything come together so smoothly
RobisonWoods expects to import between 1200 and 1500 tractors through Colonels Island in the coming year The tractors arriving aboard NOSAC vessels especially designed for the ocean transport of automobiles and wheeled machinery will arrive monthly in approximate 100unit lots

currencies plus an aggressive 55 million advertising and promotion campaign paid for by the growers and the State of Florida seemed to be major factors in the export upswing

coast during the summer months American Mercantiles Jim Bell supervised shipments of the Indian River fruit through the Port of Savannah during the OctoberApril growing season
Youve got to be crazy to be in the fruit business because its a gamble from season to season noted Bell an affable man who showed no outward signs of insanity It takes three years for the trees to produce quality fruit after even a slight freeze and if cold weather hits several years in a row many growers are wiped out
American Mercantile tapped the hungry Japanese grapefruit market when the country lifted quota restrictions on that fruit Currently the only stipulation for shipping grapefruit into Japan is EBD ethyl bromide dioxide fumigation to prevent the transmission of diseasecarrying insects like the Caribbean Fruit Fly
Oranges are still under import quota in Japan to protect the growers of Mandarin oranges but since Japanese growers cant supply the high citrus demand quotas have steadily increased Were hoping that Japan will soon open to unrestricted orange imports says Bell Florida growers would have a tremendous new market there

The fruit transiting CONTAINERPORT docks originated in central Floridas Indian River area from Seald Sweet growers The oldest citrus company in the state Seald Sweet began marketing fresh citrus in 1909 and serves as an international marketing organization for growers Don Linns President of Seald Sweet International expects final figures to reflect that 40 of this years fresh citrus crop was exported mainly to the Far East with 60 shipped to domestic markets
After the twohour fumigation process the grapefruit is transported to Savannah by trailer truck For the short trip from central Florida a refrigerated container is not critical explains Bell Once inside CONTAINERPORT the boxes of fruit are transferred to high cube refrigerated containers owned by Hanjin Lines Holding two more pallets than standard reefer containers Hanjins new reefers are equipped with stateoftheart features Hanjin vessels discharge the chilled grapefruit at Kobe and Yokohama where they are whisked to fruit brokers in several Japanese cities From Florida tree to Japanese home the tumtime is 2530 days

EXPO REPORT
Notes from the 1987 International Intermodal Expo
Drawing a record number of registrants the 1987 International Intermodal Expo was judged a critical success by the 2375 intermodalists in attendance Converging on Atlanta for the Expo were railroad motor carrier and steamship line executives as well as major shippers shippers agents and port officials
MayJune 1987
Exhibit space outside the Georgia World Congress center was filled with an array of the newest intermodal equipment including doublestack railcars cargo lifters loaders trailers and containers
More than 120 exhibitors another Expo record displayed their products and courted new customers Journalistic talent from at least 30 trade publications were in attendance to document the proceedings
And the proceedings were orchestrated to the minute by Expo organizer Nat Welch With the charisma of a country preacher Welch injected each session with a nononsense air which cut lengthy introductions to a minimum and allowed maximum floor time to the speakers and the issues of 1987

The Expo offered something for everyone even small shippers

CSX not only engineered XpressRailer a dedicated RoadRailer service to transport GM auto parts from Detroit to Atlanta but a media event as well with inaugural ceremonies held between sessions just outside Expo headquarters
Keynote speaker Stanley Crane Chairman and CEO of Consolidated Rail Corporation set the tone for Expo 87 by calling for cooperation to improve the intermodal transportation product
MayJune 1987
15
Expo exhibitors numbered more than 120
From the keynote address by Conrads Stanley Crane to the closing session entitled Shippers Shape Intermodal Policy the prevailing themes of the 1987 International Intermodal Expo were cooperation between modes and service to the customer
Crane urged fellow rail executives to defeat the ghosts of our past and work to eliminate the old perceptions that rail intermodal service is an inferior product To exorcise those ghosts Crane recommended the improvement of the intermodal product by providing the customer with reliable ontime and price competitive doortodoor service Working together toward the creation of a cohesive interregional network is Cranes idea for increasing the railroads share of profitable
traffic A package of transportation and distribution services will according to Crane enable the shipper to turn to a single rail company to fulfill their transportation needs regardless of the geography of the tracks
Responding to the ideas set forth in Stan Cranes address and to remarks made during the session Motor Carriers and Railroads Partners or Competitors was panelist Paul Bergant of JB Hunt one of the largest contract and common carriers in the United States
Bergant believes that its a mistake for motor carriers to stake their business on providing long hauls at rates competitive with railroads With customers looking for low cost as the 1 factor and service as the
2 factor in their transportation decisions motor carriers cannot keep up with competition from the large railroads Additionally Bergant suggests the motor carriers must be accountable for their actions When a third party enters the transportation package control over service is lost and can give a wrong impression of rates and value The partnership issue is overrated Bergant said
Bergant concluded by saying that wellrun motor carriers can attain and keep a viable market share without becoming railhead drayers for railroads By operating as efficiently as possible while responding creatively to customer needs contract and common carriers can compete alone in todays market

NEDLLOYDJFL announce new rotation
Representatives of Trans Freight Lines and Nedlloyd Lines have announced a port rotation change in their MediterraneanUS East Coast service formed as a result of rationalization initiatives of the two companies in 1986 See TFL to Europe The Rationalized Version Georgia AnchorAge NovemberDecember 1986
The Western Mediterranean port rotation has been changed to ValenciaFosLeghom with a second call to Valencia The ports of New York Baltimore and Savannah remain fixed in the US lineup
The new port rotation changed from
the original itinerary of LivornoFosValencia will allow a faster transit time for eastbound cargo into Spain and westbound cargo from Italy Officials from both steamship lines predict reductions of up to three days in Atlantic transit time
The rationalization agreement between TFL and Nedlloyd resulted in the slot chartering agreement which brought TFL vessels back to Savannah on weekly fixedday calls At that time TFL Chief Executive Officer John Arwood stated We have a firm belief that shipping has reached the point that rationalization is
an essential part of maximization of economies
And now through the ongoing study and refinement of their port rotation strategy Nedlloyd and TFL continue to show their joint commitment to maximization of economies and customer service

Five employees of Atlantic Towing Company along with several local investors have entered into an agreement to purchase the Savannah company
Bruce Ford President of the new ATCO stated The purchase will insure that high quality towing and docking services at the Port of Savannah will continue to be provided by Savannahians Ford continued Atlantic Towing Company has a long and distinguished history of service to its customers The new company will assume all of ATCOs obligations to its customers and we pledge to continue and improve the quality of our services
The employee purchase echoes the beginnings of Atlantic Towing Company in 1920 At that time the only Savannah towing service Propellor Towboat Company was apparently going bankrupt Rather than see the Port of Savannah without a towing service local shipping companies pooled their resources and bought out the company forming Atlantic Towing Company in its place
The major stockholder in ATCO since its formation nearly seven decades ago has been Savannah Foods and Industries whose sugar refinery was the first business to locate in Savannahs upper harbor above GPAs Garden City Terminal
Savannah Foods recent decision to divest themselves of the towing company presented the opportunity for the longtime ATCO employees to pursue their version of The American Dream

Caribbean Issues Explored
The 1987 edition of the Brunswick International Trade Conference brought together a number of principal players on the bulk and breakbulk commodities scene and served as a forum for issues affecting international trade
The first business session of the conference focused on the Caribbean Basin Initiative the controversial program designed by the Reagan administration to generate economic growth in the Caribbean through private sector investment
Signed into law on August 5 1983 the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act allows the President to eliminate duties on all products for 12 years with certain exceptions from certain Caribbean countries
In order to be eligible for dutyfree status an article must be grown
produced or manufactured in a CBI beneficiary country and must meet certain rules of origin Other major CBI elements include tax deductions for business conventions held in qualifying countries economic assistance targeted at private sector development and enlarged access to the US government procurement market
The Caribbean Basin includes the chain of islands from the Bahamas south to Trinidad and Tobago plus Guyana and Suriname in South America and the seven Central American countries American territories Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands are included in the CBI
Many CBI countries suffer from slow growth and foreign exchange shortages caused by fallen prices for traditional exports The Initiative aids these countries in adopting exportoriented develop
ment strategies and seeking new foreign investment
Manuel Erico Tavares President of Tavares Industrial also serves as President of the Itabo Free Zone in the Dominican Republic Speaking before the panel discussion Tavares said the CBI has helped revitalize many Caribbean countries which depend on external demand for their agricultural products essential oils petroleum products and leather goods
As a historical note Tavares explained that in the 60s and 70s many CBI countries experienced sharp population declines as young people departed for higherpaying jobs in other locales and import substitution replaced exports in the economic scheme Caribbean Basin countries now realize that they must rebase their economies on the exportation of natural resources agricultural products and manufactured goods Labor in CBI countries is widely available at 35 to 60 cents per hour and many locations have or are building factory shells in free zonetype facilities to attract investors Tavares tags the Caribbean Basin Initiative program as protectionism viewed with a positive approach
Panel moderator Neal Ganzel of Seafarer Magazine addresses panelists who have Taken the Caribbean Initiative lr Preston Kirkendall of Hercules Lauren Kelly of the US Department of Commerce and Morton Thiokols Raymond L Pierobon

Lauren Kelly represented the US Department of Commerce on the panel which administers the Initiative and staffs a CBI Information Center Kelly provided general information about the CBI adding that the rationale behind the Program can be summed up in one Washington buzz word competitiveness The Caribbean Basin lies much closer to the US than Far Eastern countries with a shorter turnaround time for imported goods To aid in the development of resources in the Caribbean countries and at the same time solidify our friendly relationship with those countries is in the best interest of the United States
Kirkendall of Hercules agreed and offered some concrete suggestions for doing business in Caribbean countries First analyze the political stability of the government Tavares thinks Americans have a poor conception of Caribbean countries but violence and poor conditions he said are not widespread The Department of Commerce keeps up to date on political trends in CBI countries and can offer information to potential investors Second on Kirkendalls list is to learn the language and culture of the country and third learn whats required to do business Taxes and fees vary widely in the area
Rounding out the panel was a CBI participant Morton Thiokol enjoys a very successful partnership with the Bahamas Raymond Pierobon explained that his company is the only employer on a small Bahamian island producing bulk salt Pierobon emphasized that the attitude of the people of the island is one of hope that they can better the overall economy of their island by opening it to investors who have markets for their products We are dealing on each others strengths says Pierobon l

CELEBRATES
120TH
Attended by dignitaries from all over the globe the 120th anniversary of the Port of Kobe was celebrated in grand style befitting the venerable but forwardthinking world class port
In ceremonies unveiling Meriken Park a public garden built on reclaimed land overlooking the harbor Kobe officials opened the Kobe Maritime Museum to the world A low structure topped with soaring white framework reminiscent of
ships bows the museum houses information and exhibits related to the sea and the Port of Kobe
Sister ports of Seattle and Rotterdam made presentations of artwork for permanent display in the park Seattles gift was a dramatic wooden sculpture of an American Bald Eagle which now graces a fountain in the park A lifesized bronze sculpture of two children playing marbles was presented by the Port of Rotterdam and is displayed in another section of the park banked by pink and white flowers
Representing Georgia Ports Authority at the twoday celebration were ViceChairman William Faulkner and Far Eastern Director Isao Togioka who presented an inscribed brass friendship bell to the Port of Kobe
The anniversary celebration created an opportunity for the Port of Kobe to announce its foray into the 21st century
via the Port Renaissance Project Several years in the planning stages the Projects goal is to make the Port of Kobe a sealandair intermodal terminal by 1995
The project envisions the construction of various new facilities including container berths to keep up with new transportation and shipbuilding technologies The project also calls for the redevelopment of conventional facilities to enhance the ports functions and encourage a more effective utilization of waterfront land
The Port of Kobe now consists of four main facilities Two ambitious manmade islands Port Island opened in 1981 and Rokko Island now partially functioning and scheduled for completion in 1990 combine modem berthing and cargo handling space with residential retail and commercial areas Two landside facilities Maya and Shinko Piers

Paul Cook of Eller and Company is the Savannah agent for both cruise lines Savannah is becoming more and more popular as a cruise ship destination says Cook Because of the famous downtown historic district people from all over the world know about Savannah And because of the year round mild climate any time of the year is good for sightseeing The cruise lines take that into consideration

DON CARLOS ARRIVES IN BRUNSWICK
Wallenius Lines Vessel Brings BMW to Brunswick
With the longawaited announcement that BMW of North America would soon begin importing luxury autos through the Port of Brunswick Georgia AnchorAge MarchApril 1987 the first call for Stockholmbased Wallenius Lines was not far behind
The first Wallenius Lines vessel to call Colonels Island was the MV Don Carlos a pure car carrier 663 feet in length weighing in at 14478 gross tons According to Ron Smith of Southeastern Maritime Company agents for Wallenius Lines the Don Carlos discharged 657 BMWs on its maiden call
After preparation by Colonels Island neighbor International Auto Processing the cars were delivered to BMW dealers in the Southeastern United States By 1988 BMW will have built its own vehicle processing center on Colonels Island to perform over 100 cosmetic and mechanical checks to the automobiles before receiving showroom condition stamps of approval
Wallenius Lines was founded in 1934 by Olof Wallenius whose initials appear today on the colorful green and yellow stacks of each Wallenius Lines vessel In the midfifties Wallenius conceived of largescale ocean transportation for cars and trucks Safely carrying uncrated vehicles removed from the ill effects of the ocean environment continues to be the goal of Wallenius Line which has now grown to a fleet of 27 vessels with a total fleet capacity of more than 130000 cars and combined deck area of 115 million square feet
While Wallenius is well known all over the world for the transportation of automobiles an increasing world demand for the shipment of heavier vehicles like trucks tractors buses boats and construction equipment led Wallenius Lines to the construction of eight RoRo carriers featuring higher clearances reinforced decks and hoistable sections to allow loading vehicles up to 20 feet high Reinforced ramps on these vessels can

National Maritime Day 1987 began with a flag raising ceremony at the International Seamens House A walk to River Street was the next order of business for a wreath laying at Savannahs famous Waving Girl statue The wreath was placed in honor of the 18 crewmen of the Balsa 24 lost earlier this year when the vessel capsized in heavy seas off the coast of Newfoundland Commander David Duma Commanding Officer of the Naval attack sub USS Scamp was on hand to witness the ceremony and receive a rifle salute The Scamp rescued the lone survivor of the downed vessel

Captain McGuire concluded by
emphasizing that the maritime industry remains as critical to national defense as always but challenged the private sector to find a way to offer reliable service at a competitive price no matter how unfair the world marketplace is perceived to be MSC and MARAD have done what we can to preserve the infrastructure but we need the help of industry itself to regenerate our merchant marine its shipyards and its mariners

Sheilas winning essay is reprinted here in its entirety
There are many people in America who are unaware of the state of the United States Merchant Marine fleet and how important the Merchant Marine is to us in our daily lives Some people do not even know what the Merchant Marine is The US Merchant Marine consists of all of the seagoing cargo and passenger ships that are registered in the United States These ships must fly the American flag Also included in our countrys Merchant Marine are those vessels that are operated on the Great Lakes and in other inland waterways In order for a vessel to be a part of the United States Merchant
THE WINNING ESSAY
Marine the ship must be built in America and have an American crew working on it The Merchant Marine fleet is vitally important to the economy and to the shipping and trading industry
This lack of knowledge is a problem in our society that must be corrected There are many different reasons why we as Americans shoud care that our country has a strong Merchant Marine fleet
One of the most important reasons that America needs to have a strong Merchant Marine is the necessity of its strength in the event of our involvement in a war During wartime the Merchant Marine is as important to our countrys well being as the armed forces Therefore it is essential that our Merchant Marine fleet is as strong as it can possibly be
The United States Merchant Marine isnt as strong as it could be There are several economic reasons for this There are many shipping companies that are owned by Americans who have chosen not to have their ships registered under the United States flag They feel that it costs too much money to have ships in the US Merchant Marine Because of the high standard of living enjoyed by the people of our country there are many labor laws that govern wages that workers must be paid conditions under which people may work and safety requirements The taxes that United States shipowners must pay on their vessels are quite high These requirements make it very expensive to have an American flag ship
In order to avoid the high cost of ships that are included in the US Merchant Marine many Americanowned shipping companies turn to other countries where they purchase ships from foreign shipyards to solve these highexpense problems There are many smaller countries in which shipowning costs are much less than in America For example Liberia a small African country has the largest national merchant marine in the world because of the low costs of having a Liber
ian ship The actual production of a ship in Liberia is much cheaper because there are no strict safety requirements that would make the construction of vessels cost more The workers are paid wages that are drastically less than those of Americans who build ships The crews that work on these ships are not paid good wages either Finally the taxes charged on Liberian vessels are not as high as American ship taxes In wartime all of these ships that could help America become the property of the nation under which they are registered This could really hurt our country if these small countries were our enemies
In the event that America should become involved in a war foreign trade and shipping would be greatly affected Any trading that was done between the United States and our enemies would immediately stop The same is true of their allies Neutral countries would not trade with America in an effort to remain impartial That would leave us to depend solely on our allies for shipping products that are necessary in our lives and cannot be produced in our own country However if we have a strong Merchant Marine there would be enough cargo vessels that are owned by Americans to provide the ships needed to import the goods that are necessary for our survival
Another reason that strong Merchant Marine is important during time of war is the use of the ships to transport soldiers to other countries While it is rare ships that are registered in America could be used by some branches of the Armed Forces Soldiers in the Army could be brought to different parts of the world on these American vessels
The American economy is another reason we should care about having a strong Merchant Marine If we have a strong Merchant Marine fleet then the economy will be better A large Merchant Marine fleet would give us more ships to continued on page 48

Atlanta Saw doesnt fit the conventional image of a multinational corporation It has just 15 employees and modest offices near Fort McPherson in south Atlanta Yet the company sells its meat cutting blades in more than 80 countries around the world These international markets account for up to 60 of Atlanta Saws 5 million to 6 million in annual sales
I feel Ive been a true Yankee peddler putting a bag of products over my shoulder and selling them around the world says 78yearold Chairman Eugene Anderson who founded the parent Southern Saw Service with his father in 1928 Maybe weve been more persistent than most because I find it romantic to sell overseas thats my idea of looking at the stars
Andersons zeal is one key to Atlanta Saws success in foreign trade They have hung in there against competition from all over the world says Carol M Martel the Atlanta Chamber of Commerces
international specialist By building a network of loyal distributors they have maintained market share even when the strong dollar placed them at a cost disadvantage
In its willingness to pursue international business in both good times and bad
Atlanta Saw is unusual American firms have a reputation of being in and out of the export market says Johnny Whitworth trade di vision director for the Department of Industry and Trade 7Some companies have given us a black eye by shipping until they get tired of it then pulling out
Many American companies pulled back as the dollar climbed to record heights against currencies in Europe and Japan Some foreign markets are just beginning to improve for American firms a full year after
a coordinated effort by several nations helped deflate the overvalued dollar
But firms like Atlanta Saw continue to pursue foreign business while their less aggressive counterparts bemoan the domestic business they are losing to imports Nationwide imports have increased at a compounded rate of 13 a year almost double the rate of increase for exports The nations 2 billion trade surplus in 1975 has given way to a deficit that may exceed 170 billion this year
I feel Ive been a true Yankee peddler putting a bag of products over my shoulder and selling them around the world says Eugene Anderson Chairman of Atlanta Saw The company sells meat cutting blades in more than 80 countries
Exporting For Fun and Profit is reprinted from the December 1986 issue of Georgia Trend Magazine Author Don Bedwell is a freelance writer living in the DallasFt Worth area
MayJune 1987
Whitworths department estimates that state manufacturers exported almost 5 billion worth of goods in 1985 Thats about double the manufactured exports shipped in 1981 and represents about 100000 jobs
Georgias most visible export is CocaCola whose redandwhite logo is known around the globe The CocaCola Co which has operations in 155 countries now earns more money overseas than at home But state exports arent limited to soft drinks They range from LockheedGeorgias aircraft to GeorgiaPacifics forest products The state is a big exporter of textiles chemicals and nonelectrical machinery It is virtually the only US exporter of kaolin clay used in paper finishing
In agriculture Georgia is the nations largest exporter of peanuts and the secondlargest of poultry products One Eatonton Holstein breeder even ships cattle embryos to France Yet agricultural exports like textiles were hit hard as the dollar climbed to unprecedented heights against many foreign currencies Whats more those markets have not improved despite the dollars retreat
The farm exporters plight was summed up at a recent Atlanta conference by Donald
W Sands president of Atlantabased Gold Kist Inc an agricultural cooperative with 15 billion in annual sales In better times about 20 of our total volume was
Georgia is the nations largest exporter of peanuts and the secondlargest of poultry
products
exported including soy products peanuts grain and poultry Sands said Today we could almost haul our international volume to port in a pickup truck
Gold Kists exports have fallen to 5 or less of its total sales since the Carter administration embargoed shipments to the Soviet Union in 1979 When the embargo was imposed Gold Kist lost a 70 million sale of broilers to the Soviet Union The cooperative hasnt sold broilers there since the embargo because producers from other countries have taken its place in the market
With more nations competing to sell broilers soybeans and other farm commodities Georgia exporters must find new products and expand the uses for traditional ones says Lanny Williams director of international trade for the Georgia Department of Agriculture The department is trying to develop a European market for pecans but it has run into a problem Most Europeans arent familiar with pecan pies one of the most popular ways to eat pecans in the South As evidence that such hurdles can be overcome
Williams points to New Zealands kiwi fruit Who would have thought wed be eating those fuzzy little kiwis he asks It took the New Zealanders to show us how
The state is a tardy advocate of exporting It had only one professional on its trade division staff in early 1983 Today the size of the staff is up to eight and state officials are hoping to fill a void as federal cutbacks limit the US Department of Commerces traditional role in supporting exporters But the state still isnt doing enough says Martel We need to demand a far greater degree of trade support including assistance in contact development from our state offices abroad she told a recent meeting in Atlanta
The state trade division in cooperation with Georgia Techs Advanced Technology Development Center has begun compiling a data base of companies that export or that should be trying to market an exportable product We started by surveying hightech firms because they seemed the most aggressive and eager to get into foreign countries says Kathleen Kleeman assistant trade division director So far we have information on 250 Georgia companies that are engaged in or interested in international trade Their involvement Kleeman says is not limited to exports but also includes licensing agreements and joint ventures that have helped open markets in some countries
The trade division is now surveying forest product firms some of which have become active in marketing overseas For instance Langdale Forest Products a Valdosta company recently sold 36000 utility poles to Bangladesh and is bidding on 40000 more
Among the imaginative forest product exporters is Raymond Lo a Georgia Tech architecture graduate who heads Lo Brothers Associates in Stone Mountain Because of the time difference between here and Asia Lo a ChineseAmerican installed a Telex in his basement when he began to export roughsawn oak lumber seven years ago The Telex permitted him to respond promptly when queries from Taiwan or Singapore arrived after business hours
That was extremely important in developing our business says Lo whose firm has six employees and projected sales of 10 million this year So many people just dont give a damn whether they answer a Telex or not Potential customers want to know that youre alive
If some Georgia business people like Lo have lost sleep developing overseas markets others have been sought out by foreign customers Such was the case with Software Link Inc which was founded in 1983 Though the company had developed a niche in supplying networking systems for the IBM PC and compatible terminals founders Rod Roark and Gary Robertson werent
Langdale Forest Products a Valdosta firm has shipped over 36000 utility poles to Bangladesh through the Port of Brunswick

looking for overseas markets They were reluctant to tackle the export business says Paul Patton the firms international marketing specialist Like most smallbusiness people they shied away because of all the uncertainty involved in going into an unknown country with currency fluctuations and the language and cultural barriers
Roark and Robertson found themselves in the international marketplace because a Milan businessman believed their products would sell in Italy He persuaded the partners in 1984 to designate him as their first foreign distributor Today Software Link has 40 international dealers and distributors who will account for about 20 of this years projected 15 million in sales
Some companies are too quick to cite developments such as the strong dollar to justify their reluctance to market overseas exporters contend Ive never allowed our organization to use the strong dollar or bureaucrats in Washington as an excuse says Sidney Topol chairman of ScientificAtlanta Inc All of that can be overcome if you have a commitment to sell your products abroad
ScientificAtlantas commitment is reflected in the 75 million in equipment it exported last year when total sales reached 469 million It has sold satellite earth stations to provide television service to the Australian outback to coordinate power generation needs at dam sites in China and to enable soccer fans in Trinidad and Tobago to watch World Cup Games
Like other exporters Topol believes Congressional efforts to protect Americas traditional industries from imports can hurt
companies trying to sell overseas The Chinese in particular were critical of legislation this year to restrict textile imports Unless they could sell their products in the US the Chinese said they couldnt generate the currency to buy our goods The importquota bill was vetoed by President Reagan last summer
Topol believes it is better to pry open more foreign markets to American products than to ban foreign goods here Im not angry at the Japanese for selling good products in this country he says I am angry because we cant export to their country
Georgia exporters learn to look for longterm results observes Bob Lukat Atlanta Saws vice president and general manager There is no such thing as a quick return on your investment in exporting he says If you see a return within two years break out the champagne
At Atlanta Saw exporting benefits from the commitment of Chairman Anderson who is concerned that American business people are losing the determination that characterizes competitors in China Hong Kong and Korea Our folks are getting lazy he warns
Anderson believes American firms must step up their efforts to develop new markets The reason Foreign companies are challenging one export product after another that American firms once monopolized When I went on my first trade mission 20 years ago there were only four manufacturers of meatcutting saws all American firms he says Now we have to make 500 different types of blades to equip all the different saws being manufactured
Georgias most visible export is CocaCola whose red and white logo is known around the world
Seeking to develop a new market Anderson and other Atlanta Saw executives recently spent several weeks in the Soviet Union At a trade fair for foodprocessing equipment in Moscow they secured permission from factory managers and government officials to sell bandsaw blades for meat cutting
We figure there is a market for 150000 to 200000 blades each year just in Moscow says Lukat Across the Soviet Union the market is perhaps three to four times that
If Atlanta Saws Soviet venture suggests the opportunities available in exporting it also underscores the need for patience Lukat says it could take three years before the firm closes its first sale We hope it wont take that long he says But if it takes three years well be there

transport the products that we export from our country making it less expensive to ship American goods The money spent on shipping costs would come back to our country rather than go to another country Imports of the items that must be received from other countries would be less expensive to the consumers because there would not be a shipping tariff on American vessels coming into the United States
If more American shipping companies had Merchant Marine vessels the unemployment rate in the United States would drop Many jobs would be provided by shipyards for people who could work as shipbuilders This would also provide jobs for people to work on the ships when they are running Having a lower unemployment rate would make the economy much stronger
These reasons among others indicate that the United States Merchant Marine is very important to our way of life Although there are many people in our country who are unaware of the necessity of the Merchant Marine all Americans should be educated about the Merchant Marine and do what they feel they can do to support it It would be beneficial to all Americans if they encouraged their government representatives to create new laws that would better protect Americanregistered ship owners The future of our country could some day depend on our use of national and international waterways Having a large strong United States Merchant Marine is necessary and something about which all Americans should care

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
George J Nichols
In the months following United States Lines Chapter 11 action in November and their subsequent departure from our port container tonnage at Savannah dropped abruptly Just as we recognize that the downturn in container tonnage was the first for Savannah in some years we also recognize that we cannot control the worldwide economy of a steamship line GPA continues to maintain a strong competitive position within the port industry a position unchanged by the status of US Lines
However figures compiled at the end of Fiscal Year 1987 show that the loss of tonnage has not been as great as initially predicted while US Lines accounted for an estimated 42 of Savannahs containerized cargo the margin as of June 1987 had narrowed to 27 The partial recapturing of this market share is attributable to existing carriers and improved services by the 38 steamship lines making regular Savannah calls Actual tonnages for FY 87 were only 1 less than GPA projections for FY 88 indicating a strong recovery position
Continuing recovery is anticipated through an aggressive marketing program targeting steamship lines throughout the world Our extensive network of Trade Development offices in Atlanta New York
Chicago Tokyo Seoul Hong Kong Oslo and Athens maintain the necessary contacts to attract new business to Georgias port facilities
In This Issue
Once a year we take the opportunity to highlight these superior port facilities in print and to bring our readers up to date on the events which affected our business during the past Fiscal Year
In compiling this years special Update section we looked back on a year of change for Georgia Ports but also a year of acquisitions and legislative advances which pave the way for a strong future a year of working to improve facilities to meet the needs of our customers a year of fruition for the newlydeveloped Colonels Island and a year in which the word challenge replaced the word disappointment in our port vocabulary
We feel that our optimism for future growth as a world class port is founded on solid ground Garden City which includes the modem CONTAINERPORT coupled with Ocean Terminals 220 hardworking acres will be joined in the next decade by Mulberry Grove Savannahs next intermodal hub We have dedicated all GPA facilities to be at the leading edge of world transportation now and in the future
Transportation In Search Of The Leading Edge
That the very nature of our industry is an everchanging one makes it almost imperative that we meet from time to time with other transportation professionals for an exchange of ideas
The Georgia Foreign Trade Conference now in its 21 st year brings together each Fall a group of executives at the forefront of their respective industries for provocative discussions on a central theme This years committee has produced an impressive panel gathered from railroads shippers and steamship lines to address current issues on transportation Topics include user fees tariffs subsidies restrictions cargo integration and more
The GFTC provides a worthwhile way to sharpen your skills pick up new techniques or perhaps meet a new customer As a sponsor GPA endorses and supports the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference but as transportation professionals we encourage you to join us in the Search For The Leading Edge

BRUNSWICK
RECEIVES FOREIGN TRADE ZONE APPROVAL
One of the United States newest Foreign Trade Zones has been awarded to a Georgia city The US Department of Commerce has issued a grant to establish and operate a Foreign Trade Zone within the port of Brunswick
Operating under Brunswick Foreign Trade Zone Inc it is Georgias third FTZ Number 26 in Atlanta and Number 104 in Savannah already enjoy the benefits provided under the Foreign Trade Zones Act of 1934
Foreign or free trade zones are secured areas legally outside a nations Customs territory to attract and promote international trade and commerce Zones are operated as public utilities by states political subdivisions or corporations chartered for that purpose
The Foreign Trade Zones Act of 1934 created a Foreign Trade Zones Board to review and approve applications to establish operate and maintain Foreign Trade Zones The Board consists of the US Secretaries of Commerce the Treasury and the Army The Board also regulates the administration of Foreign Trade Zones and the rates charged by Zone grantees
Foreign and domestic merchandise permitted in a FTZ may be stored sold sampled exhibited broken up repacked assembled distributed sorted graded cleaned mixed with foreign or domestic merchandise otherwise manipulated
destroyed or manufactured No retail trade in foreign merchandise may be conducted in a Foreign Trade Zone
Customs duty and IRS tax if applicable are paid when merchandise is transferred from a FTZ to the Customs territory for consumption While in a Zone merchandise is not covered by a Customs bond or subject to US duty or excise tax Goods may be exported from a FTZ free of duty and tax with a minimum of Customs procedural requirements
Merchandise may remain in a FTZ indefinitely and the user may elect to pay either the duty and taxes on the foreign material placed in the zone or on the article transferred from the zone Because merchandise value may change as a result of manipulation or manufacture in the Zone the importer pays the lowest duty allowable on the merchandise In addition to the currently planned full service Zone Brunswick Foreign Trade Zone Inc plans to work with the Georgia Ports Authority and several local businesses to establish subzones within the Port of Brunswick Subzones are special purpose zones established on site of existing operations but limited in scope to specific functions
Brunswick FTZ purchased a 110acre facility in March of this year and plans to utilize this site as their primary facility Space for industrial development not necessarily related to Zone usage will also be available for lease Space is available for fight or heavy manufacturing storage assembly and exhibition A multitenant facility and public warehouse will be located inside the Zone An operations center will house all support services and commercial rental space
The Brunswick Foreign Trade Zone is the culmination of efforts by private industry as well as local state and Federal officials While the licensing process usually takes three years to complete spokesmen for the Zone singled out Georgia Senator Sam Nunn and Congressman Lindsay Thomas as being instrumental in obtaining final approval only nine months afjter application was made

Norfolk Southern Corporation has formalized an agreement with the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad to purchase 200 miles of rail trackage between Haleyville Alabama and Fulton Kentucky
The agreement was signed aboard a Norfolk Southern train at Jackson Tennessee which is about the midpoint of the purchased route The signing by CEOs Arnold B McKinnon of Norfolk Southern and Harry J Bruce of the ICG follows the June announcement of an agreement in principle for the 38 million sale As part of the agreement the ICG will also grant trackage rights to Norfolk Southern over the 154mile ICG line running from Fulton Kentucky to Centralia Illinois The proposed transaction is subject to approval by regulatory agencies
The trackage runs from Haleyville in Northwest Alabama across the southeastern comer of Mississippi crossing Norfolk Southern tracks at Corinth before passing through western Tennessee at Jackson Humboldt and Union City Fulton is just inside the Kentucky border The proposed trackage between Fulton and Centralia will form the third side of a triangle of Norfolk Southern tracks between St Louis Mt Carmel and Cairo
According to McKinnon The new trackage will enable Norfolk to offer more direct service between the Southeast and Midwest to new and current customers

107000 square feet of warehouse space handled bulk salt anhydrous ammonia and wallboard as major commodities during the fiscal year
During FY 87 GPA acquired 14 acres of land adjoining the existing property in Bainbridge for future expansion Also purchased from CSX Transportation was a section of spur track to better serve the Chemical Enterprises tank farm
A severe drought lasting from Fall of 86 to Spring of87 and the resulting low

water conditions had a negative impact on barge traffic for the entire TriRivers System Normal to average rainfall has now restored the impoundment reservoirs to full pool and traffic has resumed Maintenance dredging of the channel has now been completed allowing for the movement of traffic at the designated 9foot project depth
The outlook for future development and growth of GPAs river terminals at
Bainbridge and Columbus looks encouraging with renewed cargo flow already being experienced at both facilities
On the Chattahoochee River the Columbus barge terminal offers docking space for two barges Liquid bulk storage tanks and a 27000 square foot transit shed complete the picture

The two big stories of FY 87 were the arrival of neobulks at Colonels Island and the acquisition of the Brunswick Port Authority
COLONELS ISLAND
With the arrival of the MV Huai Torinita in the Fall of 1986 a new era was begun at Colonels Island 567 Yugos were the first automobiles to be discharged at the facility which has been tagged as GPAs rising star
Market research revealed that ease of access and proximity to the booming sunbelt market made Colonels Island an ideal location for the importation of automobiles Armed with this information GPA Trade Development personnel sought out companies interested in locating the necessary service industries at Colonels Island
International Auto Processing now
operates a facility on Colonels Island to prepare automobiles for dealer delivery In addition to removal of cosmoline the substance applied to automobile exteriors to protect the finish during an ocean voyage a variety of other services are performed to manufacturers specifications Installation of air conditioners radios customizing paint and body work are offered Finally the automobiles are sorted and loaded by model style options and destination
Yugo avails itself of IAPs services to the tune of 10001250 cars discharged
Construction is underway on BMWs 45 million dollar Vehicle Preparation Center on Colonels Island 16000 BMWs per year will discharge at Brunswick for distribution to 54 dealers in six Southeastern states
GPAs bulk facility on Colonels Island the largest laminated arch structure in Georgia continues to attract the attention of bulk shippers with its stateoftheart computerized handling system and 135000 square feet of storage space

GPAs newest acquisition Lanier Dock foreground is adjacent to East River Terminal and brings to four the number of GPA
facilities in Brunswick
biweekly And early in 1987 BMW of North America made a blockbuster announcement transferring the port of entry for their sixstate Southeast distribution area to Colonels Island Using the IAP facility until their own 45 million Vehicle Preparation Center is built
16000 luxury automobiles per year are scheduled to cross the Colonels Island Dock And to accommodate the mounting number of automobiles arriving weekly at Colonels Island a second dock has been planned for construction in the near future Already recorded during FY 87 is a auto tonnage figure of 31571
LANIER DOCK
Just before fiscal yearend the announcement was made regarding GPAs leasepurchase of the Brunswick Port Authority The 5 million transaction yields 72 million to the Brunswick Port Authority over a 20year period With funds earmarked for renovation GPA assumed operation of the facility now to be known as Lanier Dock on July 1 1987
The purchase includes 1200acre Andrews Island located directly across the East River from the terminal 400 acres will be deeded to the GlynnBrunswick Economic Development Authority with the remainder slated for future GPA development
Lanier Dock adjacent to GPAs East River terminal is fully equipped for bulk material handling warehousing outdoor storage and transshipment The 500foot concrete and steel dock is equipped with marginal tracks a Colby traveling gantry crane 36inch conveyor system domar and Aframe warehouses offering 95000 square feet of storage outdoor storage totaling 35000 square feet tanker discharge receptacles and a 275foot petroleum barge loading and unloading facility including petroleum storage tanks
The terminal can accommodate ships over 600 feet in length and 75 feet in beam The dry bulk unloading rate is
375 short tons per hour and the terminal is equipped to handle selfunloading vessels Competitive rail service is provided by Norfolk Southern and CSX
EAST RIVER MAYORS POINT
Enjoying a 379 increase in tonnage during FY87 was East River Terminal Sizeable increases in both containers and dry bulk cargoes handled contributed to the favorable numbers for GPAs workhorse terminal in Brunswick
While East River showed increases in dry bulk and containers Mayors Point handled more breakbulk activity during FY 87 nearly 170000 tons worth
Cargoes handled at the Brunswick terminals included bagged animal feed steel and woodpulp on the breakbulk side with feed oats and salt making contributions on the dry bulk side

CONTAINERPORT
Approximately 15000 tons of frozen beef carcasses are being shipped from the US to Venezuela under the terms of a govemmenttogovernment buy between the two countries
Savannah has been chosen as South Atlantic load port for the beef by the Kansas City Commodity Office of the US Department of Agriculture The 3000 ton shipments to transit Savannahs docks are part of the Whole Herd Buyout Program under the Food Security Act of 1985 In order to reduce surpluses of dairy products and beef in the US the Food Security Act called for the USDA purchase of 400 million pounds of beef half to be exported and half to be distributed within the US in govemmentsubsidied programs
In 1986 Brazil purchased 90000 pounds of beef some of which moved through CONTAINERPORT under the Food Security Act Mexico is scheduled to receive 7000 tons of surplus beef this year The beef is sold according to world commodity market prices at the time of the contract negotiation Jerry Perkins Chief of the Kansas City Process Commodity Office of the USDA says the program should be fully administered by next year and any subsequent surplus sale program would have to be initiated by Congress
Purchased from packers all over the United States the frozen beef quarters arrive at CONTAINERPORTs Cold Storage facility in refrigerated trucks When unloaded the beef is examined and core temperatures taken by USDA inspectors The process is repeated as the beef is loaded to the refrigerated vessels Since terms of the sale are FOB vessel the beef belongs to the Venezuelan government as soon as its loaded onto the ship
The first beef shipments from Savannah were loaded onto the Frio Brazil and stowed by hand
Port selection criteria included the cost of delivery FOB vessel price freetime and storage rates The invitation for bids specified the unloading of trucks freezer space and loading of the vessels GPA worked with Ryan Walsh Stevedoring to provide a package for the service GPA is designated to receive store and consolidate the cargo with Ryan Walsh responsible for placing the cargo aboard the vessel
Strachan Shipping Company serves as agent for the Venezuelan government buyers and Lomar Shipping London Ltd who owns the vessels to be used in transporting the beef to the port of La Guira Venezuela
USDA Inspectors work shipside to insure optimum temperature and quality before the beef carcasses are loaded aboard refrigerated vessels

100000 Tons Is No Chicken Feed
Throughout the summer shiploads of chicken feed have been moving to the Arab Republic of Yemen via the Port of Brunswicks East River Terminal Totalling 100000 metric tons it is thought to be the largest dry bulk export order to move out of Brunswick
Mid South Feeds holds the order for the feed and has been receiving raw ingredients from the Midwest and Southeast for mixing and bagging at their East River plant Marine Port Terminals is handling bagging and stevedoring duties for the shipments
Elton Chapman President of Mid South Feeds says that Yemen is receiving the chicken feed through a government purchase from the Pillsbury Company Mid South Feeds serves as the subcontractor for manufacturing bagging and
Headquartered in Nashville Tennessee
Mid South Feeds has operated a manufacturing plant at Brunswicks East River Terminal since 1982
Because Mid South Feeds operates an onport mill cargo marshalling and loading can take place immediately after bagging
shipping of the feed Shipload lots via Colonial Navigation vessels have been moving out of Brunswick since July The final shipment is expected to be made in October
Operating a feed mill at East River Terminal since 1982 Mid South Feeds is a production manufacturer of various livestock and poultry feeds The facility is completely automated and computer controlled The Brunswick location was chosen for its proximity both to raw materials suppliers and to Mid Souths major market areas the Caribbean the Middle East and Africa And because the mill is located onport processing and marshalling duties for the feed mill operation are combined giving the company says Chapman a tremendous economic advantage

THE FUTURE
ISNOW
AUTOMATED REPORTING FOR EXPORTERS
By Dr John G Keane
From the days of the graceful clipper ships to todays modern containerized vessels the American vision is of shrewd Yankee traders selling our industrial goods overseas while importing raw materials for the nations factories
But as television and newspapers tell us our balance of trade has been at a deficit a millstone threatening the economic vitality of our country Business leaders and government officials alike closely track the Census Bureaus importexport reports to make decisions regarding the shipment of goods or the development of new trade legislation
For an idea of the size and historical significance of our nations trade balance study the early years of the Republics history It was not until 1811 when James Madison was President that the United States reported its first favorable trade balance 8 million more goods were exported than imported During the first 100 years of our countrys existence only onethird were marked by a trade surplus
But as the nations industrial strength grew there were uninterrupted trade surpluses from the years of President Grover Cleveland in the 1880s until 1934 in the midst of the Great Depression Then after seven deficit trade years a export surplus of 778 million tipped the scales to a favorable trade balance in 1941 It remained that way except for a few deficit years in the early 1970s until 1975 when ten years of trade imbalance began
During those ten years of trade imbalance 197685 the value of imports into the United States increased nearly threefold from 132 billion to 352 billion the volume of exports nearly doubled from 115 billion to 213 billion The number of export transactions individual shipments of specified goods rose from 75 million to over 9 million
Such trading activity generates a huge volume of paperwork which the exporter must prepare and the Census Bureau must process A Shippers Export Declaration SED usually requires approximately 12 minutes of a company employees time to research the necessary data and prepare the form
A typical form includes the name and address of the exporter address of receiving party carrier loading port including pier exporter identification number and a Une transaction for each item shipped A Une transaction includes identifying marks and numbers number of packages description of merchandise shipped gross weight commodity classification number quantity and value at the port of export
In addition to exported goods shipped overseas by vessels and airplanes goods are shipped by truck or train to Canada and Mexico The exporting carrier is ultimately responsible for filing each SED with the US Customs Service
The exporting carrier needs the document in hand prior to exportation It becomes very costly to delay departure time or to unload merchandise because the exporter or freight forwarder cannot supply the proper documents
Under the paperwork system the Customs Service collects SEDs and checks the manifest forms to verify the cargo being loaded on a vessel If the SEDs are late then the carrier delays movement of the vessel or risks fines for not having complete papers
Since the Census Bureau has been mandated by Congress and the Commerce Department to collect and report statistics on the nations trade economy it is vitally important that the entire volume of trade
52
AnchorAge
data be processed each month and that late reporting be kept to a minimum The Census Bureau has been working with the Customs Service in a concerted effort to speed the collection of information on the volume and value of exports and imports
One aspect of this effort is the adoption of automated collection of data on exports through an Automated Export Reporting Program AERP This program has resulted in electronic reporting of over 30 billion worth of exports annually It has eliminated for more than 50 participating companies the laborious preparation and filing of nearly 2 million SEDs with the Customs Service during the past year representing 20 percent of all export shipments
At a cost of 30 cents to process each SED this represents a taxpayer savings of 500000 yearly In addition the average cost to the exporter of preparing export documentation including an SED was estimated recently at about 18 and rising
Under the provisions of AERP exporters and freight forwarders have the choice of sending monthly reports to the Census Bureau either by direct wire transmission computer tape or flexible IBMcompatible
disksettes Carriers may only submit data on computer tape Customs is notified that the shippers export information has been sent to the Census Bureau and not to expect paper documents
The Census Bureau will work closely with any exporter forwarding agent or exporting carrier to help make the transition to automated reporting as smooth as possible providing written instructions regarding the technical specifications and the information required of the automated reporting system
Census Bureau staff will meet with members of the interested company to answer questions and to discuss schedules and internal controls designed to generate automated export reports Following a trial run and review period to correct any discrepencies the AERP is put into full operation and the fifing of individual SEDs is stopped
In addition to working with the nations exporting companies the Census Bureau has been communicating with port authorities throughout the nation Some of them are developing automated reporting systems that will allow shipments to clear Customs in hours rather than days This scenario may ultimately permit the Census Bureau to extract its data from port authority systems resulting in even faster service and less burden to the exporting industry and the nations taxpayers
Dr John G Keane has served as Director of the Census Bureau of the United States Department of Commerce since March of 1984 Previously Dr Keane was President of Managing Change Inc a strategic counseling firm that he founded in 1972 He has held management positions with such diverse industry leaders as Booz Allen Hamilton US Steel and J Walter Thompson He served as President of the American Marketing Association in 197677

Long before the introduction of Bill HR2 allowing for Federal assistance in replacing Savannahs Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge State and Federal engineers had been studying the Ports request for a resolution to the bridge problem
If Savannahs status as a major port city was to be maintained the problem of limited vertical and horizontal clearance offered by the present structure would have to be resolved Research showed that a bridge with no height restrictions up to 186 feet and no channelrestricting piers was in order to accommodate the larger containerships on drawing boards around the globe
Initially State Bridge Engineer Charles Lewis was responsible for researching every realistic alternative before determining the most cost effective solution Alternative routes and bridge sites were studied but traffic problems and real estate costs offset any benefits that may have been realized
At one time a tunnel was considered and studies were made on tunnels built in other
STORY
cities One of the major deterrents to the tunnel alternative was the cost of maintenance nearly four million dollars per year which did not include ventilation and lighting costs
Other alternatives studied by Lewis involved jacking up the current bridge to the required height moving the bridge or simply tearing it down without replacement It soon became evident that the only viable solution was a permanent replacement in close proximity to the Talmadge Bridge
Two bridge types became finalists in the exhaustive replacement study while
The new bridge spanning the Savannah River will afford 186 feet of vertical clearance an improvement of 51 feet over the present structure See the special Update section in this issue for an artists rendering of the replacement bridge
both employed cable stayed construction one was primarily steel composition and the other employed concrete construction
Either bridge type promised to be an impressive Savannah landmark with twin towers looming four hundred sixteen feet above the Savannah River The deciding factor would be cost Initial investigation indicated that materials costs for each bridge were relatively close It was argued that while steel bridges require maintenance to keep painted concrete bridges need more repair work as they age Since the minimum fife expectancy for either bridge would be one hundred years maintenance costs were an important consideration
Finally it was decided that either bridge type would be acceptable and both were placed on the bid specifications
After the battle for Federal funding was won Department of Transportation officials wasted no time in advertising for bids to construct the new bridge Six sealed bids

CONTAINER VESSELS
Jugolinija the independent Yugoslavianflag shipping line is celebrating 40 years in business with the addition of two new container vessels to their existing service between the US Mediterranean and Middle East
The Sarajevo Express celebrated her maiden voyage to Savannah with an onboard reception at CONTAINERPORT Jugolinija customers and members of the Savannah maritime community turned out to welcome the newest member of the fleet and enjoy alfresco food drink and music with representatives of the line First District Congressman Lindsay Thomas was on hand to express appreciation for Jugolinijas longtime support of State Port facilities
Partygoers were able to watch the Sarajevo Express at work from upper decks

Jugolinijas second newbuild the Koper Express is scheduled for an October arrival in Savannah
Both vessels were built at Uljanik Shipyard in Pula Yugoslavia At an overall length of 590 feet each vessel has a container capacity of 1762 TEUs including 77 reefer slots With a 32foot draught and gross tonnage of2600 tons these vessels are equipped with stateoftheart nautical and communications equipment and can cruise at 19 knots with a crew of 23
The Yugoslavian government began Jugolinija in 1947 with an inventory of 16 old ships including some coalburners predating World War I One of the vessels was a victory ship that had been sunken and raised and four were German vessels awarded as reparations from World War II
Today after 40 years of slow and steady expansion Jugolinija operates about 60 modern containerships conventional freighters and bulk carriers The company operates tramp and liner services between Yugoslavia and most regions of the world employing nearly 4000 people
With the addition of the Sarajevo Express to their fleet Jugolinijas service will now consist of eight vessels in two separate rotations with a tenday frequency The Middle East service will consist of five container vessels operating between New York Baltimore Norfolk and Savannah as last US port to Jeddah Dammam Kuwait and Dubai returning to the US East Coast via the Adriatic and Mediterranean

mine the needs of exporters and to establish Jugolinija as a viable carrier to the Middle East
The increase in export business to the Middle East has been strongly affected by the weak dollar increased oil prices and the withdrawal by a number of carriers from this trade route Cargoes moving to the Middle East consist mainly of consumertype goods such as carpet furniture foodstuffs and appliances
Jugolinijas improved service rotation to the Mediterranean will consist of three container vessels operating between New York Baltimore Norfolk Savannah Miami and Houston to Marsielle France Genoa Livorno Ancona and Trieste Italy Koper and Rijeka Yugoslavia and Alexandria Egypt then returning to the US East and Gulf coasts
From the Mediterranean the inbound market is strongest from Italy and Yugoslavia with cargoes like wines knockeddown furniture blankets marble tile foodstuffs tires brasswork yarn leatherware and machinery parts Outbound cargo from Savannah to the Mediterranean and Egypt consist mainly of frozen meats glass lumber woodpulp resins textiles machinery and furniture
The newest generation of giant containerships has arrived at CONTAINERPORT On its return voyage from a Korean shipyard the Atlantic Container Line ACL vessel Companion Express made a special Savannah call to discharge cargo under a charter agreement with HapagLloyd Newly lengthened and refurbished the Companion Express was returning to its US East CoastNorthern Europe service rotation while under charter
During the course of 1987 ACLs five thirdgeneration RoRoContainerships are being lengthened to 960 feet making them the largest vessels of their kind in the world The new vessels now called G3Ls were effectively cut in half with 138foot sections added in the middle The Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in Ulsan Korea is performing the lengthening operations taking approximately five weeks per vessel
Cellular container capacity for each vessel will increase to 2911 TEUs car capacity by 500 units and RoRo capacity
by 38556 square feet A typical full vessel load for the G3L vessels will be 1908 TEUs 1000 cars and 281 40foot trailers or the equivalent in noncontainerized cargo ACL states the new section will add considerably more flexibility to the G3s mix of container RoRo and automobiles
ACL a consortium of six Swedish French British and Dutch steamship companies currently operates nine combination RoRo containerships with direct weekly service between the US East Coast and European ports In July 1986 ACL began a weekly containership service called Gulf Container Line GCL with service from Houston New Orleans Miami and Savannah to Rotterdam Felixstowe Le Havre and Bremerhaven with through service to Scandinavia and Iberia In addition a biweekly service is now provided between Mobile and the same overseas ports
ACLs Companion Express goes down in the record books as the largest ship ever to call Savannahs CONTAINERPORT

each requiring a one million dollar bond were accepted just weeks after the bill was signed into law On July 17th the contract was awarded to Guy F Atkinson Company of San Francisco in joint venture with SJ Groves and Sons of Minneapolis According to Mike Davis State Engineer in charge of the project the accepted bid was for the concrete structure and totalled 25702607 This figure does not include the construction of approach ramps to the bridge which will be let for bids under a separate package
The new bridge will be one of only a dozen of its kind in the United States Bob McTavish Project Engineer for Guy F Atkinson and Company noted that construction of the bridge will require approximately 36000 cubic yards of concrete and a peak work force of 7090 people with materials and labor obtained locally All concrete casting for the threespan superstructure will be done in place instead of precasting for later installation Because the equipment to be used is landbased construction will create no impediment to river traffic
With construction scheduled to begin by midOctober drilling and other preliminary operations are expected to consume most of the first year The bridge will not begin to take shape until well into the second year If all goes according to schedule Savannah will have a new bridge by 1990 But more than just a bridge the new structure will stand for continued economic growth for the Southeast through increased traffic to the Port of Savannah

PERSPECTIVE
FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Georgia Ports Authority
AUTUMN TRADE TREKS
Editors note Our Perspective column this issue is somewhat of a departure from the usual format Georgia AnchorAge prevailed upon GPA Executive Director George Nichols to jot down his impressions during recent trips to Europe and the Far East The result is a fascinating journal filled with observations on trade travel the worlds economic woes and life in general Following are selected excerpts
Motivation
Being in the business of bringing together transportation companies and world trading companies offers some rate glimpses into contemporary societies around the world
The taxi ride from Warsaw airport to the hotel was an experience revisited from 1979 Because of fuel shortages the driver could only work several days a week He flashed his gas ration card in frustration complaining that his weeks supply ran out today Today was Thursday
Seeking trade opportunities and calling on steamship lines in a struggling economy racked with shortages in basic commodities produced equal frustrations for us as well
What is the yuppie generation We were asked by a 24year old woman with a masters degree who had never owned a bottle of French perfume
The lack of production of quality goods to compete in world markets was obvious as we left the trading company office
How do you teach an old cavalry officer supplyside economics Glasnost is not enough
Productivity vs Consumption The world quickly changes from Warsaw to Hamburg Our welldisciplined trading counterparts in West Germany were quick to
remind us You cannot consume what you do not produce
The precipitous burst of our stock markets bubble on October 19th was met with a fresh supply of US dollars hot off the printing press to refuel our spiraling spending binge One must wonder whether we are preparing for renewed longterm growth or the 1988 presidential election
Phenomenal productivity increases in recent years have pushed West Germany to the front as the leading trading nation in the world today
Moving next from the number one trading nation in the world to a much smaller trading nation a real Dutch treat Holland boasts that 60 of its Gross National Product is international trade The Dutch very quickly remind you they cannot exist without exporting You see we have to export more than we consume
The maritime and trading groups in Antwerp echo their counterparts in Rotterdam Moderate growth in the European economy this year also reflects an increase in international trade activity A significant drop in the dollar against most European currencies has brought a better balance of trade between Europe and the USA
Returning to Savannah we had one week to settle accounts participate in the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference one of the best ever change suits and take off for the Far East with Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris
USA Bureaucrats vs
Japan Bureaucrats
The US SoutheastJapan Association meeting is held in Japan in alternate years Underlying frictions and frustrations expressed during recent meetings underscore a repetitive and familiar point Open your markets Then comes the counterpoint Adapt your products to our market
This meeting usually ends with Ambassador Mansfields classic rebuke of the Japanese governments negotiating bureaucrats warning them not to go too far with their immovability and the chastisement of Southern leaders for not twisting the arms of the US governments negotiating bureaucrats to gain greater access for our products in Japanese markets
Whatever Happened to the Yankee Trader
Koreas burgeoning economy can be easily tracked over the past ten years by the activity surrounding Seouls Kimpo Airport
Trade frictions between Korea and Japan are aired daily in Korean newspapers Today the Korean government announced that they intended to increase buying from those
nations to which Korean businesses had a better chance of selling their products How about that
Korea today is gaining enormous publicity from the impending Olympic games They are preparing in all earnest and they are spending billions They want friends We remember that they have only a truce with the North Koreans not a peace agreement They need more trading partners to continue the nourishment of their growing economy
Governor Harris admiration for the Korean people is reflected in our meetings with the industrial and trading prospects we called on together with the Commissioner of Georgias Department of Industry and Trade George Berry
I would have to say that the Governor peaked on our last Korean appointment which was with Hyundai Corporation Chairman MD Chung Governor Harris suggested that Hyundai might want to consider building an assembly plant in Georgia reminding Mr Chung of the successful US auto assembly plants built by the Japanese The purpose of our visit to Hyundai was to thank them for shipping their autos through the Port of Brunswick Georgia
Stay Calm Big Brother Last stop Hong Kong You cannot speak with old trading and shipping friends in Hong Kong without discussing their year of the Big Bang 1997 the year the BritishHong Kong lease expires
The people of Hong Kong are truly living out the saying You dont go around but once They exist to buy and sell They have their ups and downs but stay the course I know they must look up over the mountains towards China sometimes and think Stay calm Big Brother I would
China Card
Since normalization China continues to grope with the experiment of a limited incentivebased economy Trying to partake of economic growth without using any political trump cards the Chinese government announced last week it would continue with its political philosophy of moderate growth and avoid the burdensome accumulation of huge debts to finance unstable growth in its economy
The announcement of the reorganization and retirement of several hundred top Chinese government officials will be followed closely by all who want to trade with China

SPECIAL REPORT
XXI Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
RAILROAD EXECS TACKLE ISSUES
While Norfolk Southern Corporation is looking for new investment opportunities CSX is working toward that wonderful abstract concept the integrated cargo system But officials of both companies agree that somethings got to give in the American labor environment
Executives from both railroads took the dais at the 1987 Georgia Foreign Trade Conference held in Savannah recently and spoke candidly about expansion plans integrated transportation protectionism regulation and workforce reductions
Magda Ratajski Vice PresidentPublic Relations for Norfolk Southern Corporation noted that one companys crippling disadvantage may be another companys catalyst for innovation the difference being one of perception Only by capitalizing on strengths and recognizing weaknesses can a company compete at the leading edge the unifying theme of this years Conference
Dick Sanborn President and Chief Executive Officer of CSX Distribution Services spoke on the popular quest for total cargo integration having narrowed the elements needed for successful integration into four general categories
1 More balanced trade flows
2 A consistent operating and regulatory
environment
3 A rational public policy
4 Cooperation from labor
These items in combination said Sanborn can produce an efficient customerfriendly integrated system to best serve the needs of the shipper and carrier
Balanced Trade Flows Recalling the adage Todays trade serves tomorrows transportation Sanborn called for national and local trade policies to suit the overall needs of the city state and nation National leaders must take effective action to reduce the foreign trade
deficit without drying up the livelihood of people in transportation
Ratajski giving a plug to the host city for the conference noted that 50 of Norfolk Southerns Savannah business is importexport related This high percentage she said enables the company to hold down perunit operating costs translating into customer savings The number of export units being handled in Savannah she said is three to one over imports so Ratajski feels Norfolk Southern is contributing to a healthy balance of trade here
Protectionism and the Regulatory Environment With railroads steamship lines and motor carriers living in totally different regulatory environments intermodal partners are experiencing a tremendous loss of efficiency in trying to match rate and service offerings
Finding better ways to fit these transport modes together is not a question of
Sanborn on CSX Committed to level playing field
paperwork but one of strategy said Sanborn And while theres strong temptation for a steamship line to seek stability through the conference system this creates problems for its intermodal partner the railroad When international traffic drops and the railroad needs more domestic cargo to sustain its business the land carrier faces two unpleasant options Shop their extra capacity elsewhere and make the partner with the long end of the stick angry or watch their business flounder
With a tremendous investment in equipment and support systems dedicated to intermodal traffic the railroads have a powerful incentive to build and develop a strong railocean interface But Sanborn pointed out the needs of steamship lines dont necessarily match the railroads needs There is no guarantee that the railroads core system built around areas with most traffic of all types not just intermodal matches the steamship lines port rotations designed to minimize port calls and match traffic needs of their customers
Quoting Matthew Scocozza of the Department of Transportation Ratajski cited an example of how regulation creates inefficiencies that can add to the cost of Americanmade products The intrastate cost for a truckload of jeans moving from El Paso to Dallas is 4000 but it costs as little as 2500 to move the same quantity of blue jeans in a container from Taiwan to Dallas His point was rather than pushing for protectionism we should be focusing on reducing the costs of transportation regulations Mr Scocozza summed it up by saying Protectionism sometimes protects your head when its under the sand but your other end is exposed
Speaking directly to the acquisition of SeaLand by CSX and to the development of synergies between the two companies

Sanborn explained CSXs commitment to a level playing field Ive said it before and Ill say it again said Sanborn CSX Transportation wont discriminate against other steamship lines intermodal movements Because SeaLand now represents a relatively small portion of CSXs intermodal business CSX needs traffic from other carriers to make their operation more efficient and servicesensitive Practically speaking we cannot monopolize the international freight market Whats more we dont want to he said
When asked about plans by Norfolk Southern to acquire a steamship line Ratajski admitted that the company wasted two years chasing Conrail but is now on the move looking for investment opportunities With cash reserves in excess of 750 million Norfolk Southern made several bids for Conrail which were rejected by the Department of Transportation
A Rational Public Policy There is no question Sanborn said that excess capacity and the intense competition among ports is a sensitive regional issue leaving railroads on the proverbial hot seat
The only way that CSX can serve 26 seaports equitably is to provide customers with multiple price quotes routing through different ports Obviously Sanborn said we could make that policy more efficient by routing through those ports where we have the shortest routes or best relationship with the ocean carrier but that would raise accusations of favoritism Public policy questions extend beyond the location facilities and promotion of a particular port said Sanborn
Ratajski characterized railroads as prisoners of their own lines established in the last century to serve an entirely different kind of economy As a result she said were burdened today with thousands of miles of unproductive lines We can influence to a degree the location of customers on our lines but we cant change the location of ports nor can we change the location of population centers
Labor Cooperation
Sanborns last point spoke to labors role in making integrated cargo systems a reality Proposed federal regulations for draymen working within commercial zones brings to light the real prospect that
fees for drayage services may rise drastically Who pays asked Sanborn The carrier the customer or the public This example noted Sanborn dramatizes the vital role of labor If we are to forge an integrated cargo system we need their active participation and cooperation
Protectionism sometimes protects your head when its under the sand but your other end is exposed
While observers are fond of pointing out that longshoremen and railroad workers are among the bestpaid industrial workers in the country Sanborn argued that there has to be some permanent adjustment of labor costs to promote the intermodal cargo system striking a more equitable balance between the amount of compensation and the amount of work done
Sanborn feels that a beginning is to convince employees that their actions have a direct bearing on their future CSX is instituting a quality program aimed at making sure each employee realizes who his customers are whether inside or outside the company
Both railroads have made significant cuts in personnel in order to centralize operations and streamline topheavy departments By the end of this decade CSX will be 40 smaller than it was in 1980 With a 60 reduction in the workforce they expect to move 90 of the business they did in 1980 Norfolk Southern has moved to streamline its payroll 20 by early retirement offerings but expects to make cuts in other areas as well
Unfortunately noted Sanborn there are many places in transportation where the labor climate is less than warm Serious discussions of productivity or better quality work disappear under a pile of rhetoric
Citing the GAI or Guaranteed Annual Income program as an example Sanborn explained that the program was instituted during the depression to protect the

Second Dock Slated for Colonels Island
To accommodate increased traffic at Georgia Ports Authoritys Colonels Island facility in Brunswick a second dock has been approved for construction
The new dock to cost approximately 68 million will be concrete and steel construction 550 feet long by 145 feet wide It will be adjacent to the existing dock which is 750 feet long A new access road will be provided to the new dock area by extending the present roadway The dock will be lighted for night operations
Effectively doubling the Colonels Island berthing space is a direct result of the successful automobile importing activity begun at Colonels Island only a year ago Smashing the initial goal of 150000 cars by the third year of operation the swift signing of five major importers boosted totals to 135000 automobiles after only eleven months
The new docking facility is scheduled for a summer 1988 completion
The new dock will be adjacent to and
downstream of the existing fourramped dock at Colonels Island

Addressing the varying needs of a constituency is the singular mission of our elected officials So when US First District Congressman Lindsay Thomas became aware of concerns that future port development in Savannah might have a negative effect on the environment he contacted experts on both sides of the issue for a dialogue and onsite inspection
Mulberry Grove a 2200acre site on the Savannah River just three miles from CONTAINERPORT was acquired by the Georgia Ports Authority last year See Georgia AnchorAge NovemberDecember 1986 Anticipating capacity throughput at GPAs Garden City terminal by the next decade preliminary plans for Mulberry Grove involve a modem multimodal facility with up to eight container berths
With development to commence sometime in the 1990s area environmentalists had begun to voice reservations about the development of an area which is situated across the river from the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge
Accompanied by a group of environmental advisors and port representatives Thomas spent an entire day surveying the Mulberry Grove site from land sea and air first by helicopter then by boat and finally a walking tour of the site where a press conference was held
Members of Thomas factfinding group included Dr Eugene Odum of the University of Georgia John Davis Manager of the Savannah National Wildlife Refuge Howard Zeller Assistant to the Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Charles Griffen Director of Port Planning and Harbor Development for the Georgia Ports Authority and Randy Weitman Engineer for GPA with responsibility for preliminary development of Mulberry Grove
Dr Odum a recognized expert in environmental issues pertaining to wetlands voiced his opinion that in the face of certain development along the Savannah River a port facility is one of

the cleanest and most ecologically compatible industries
Thomas a member of the House Fish and Wildlife Committee said he has been pleased with the sensitivity the GPA has shown to environmental issues Were up against a complex situation he said one of the most important issues Ive faced as a member of Congress But Thomas expressed optimism at finding a course of action to protect the environment while allowing for port expansion and development
The Congressman expressed interest in a study being conducted by researchers at the University of Florida who are making computer models of the Savannah River to study the effects of port development When the study is complete the data will assist port planners in making decisions regarding the configuration of the future terminal There are some very tough questions we must ask said Thomas
Congressman Thomas agrees that a delicate balance can be struck between industry and ecology as the Mulberry Grove site is developed

GEORGIA THE NATIONS NO 1 EXPORTER OF PEANUTS
It took a Civil War the circus and baseball to develop Americas love for peanuts Today the US peanut industry is convincing the rest of the world to make peanuts their snack of choice But
An interpreter explains the harvesting process to Japanese visitors touring a Georgia peanut farm The Georgia Peanut Commission hosts a number of international tour groups each year as a part of their export market development efforts
competition from other nations is giving US peanut promoters a run for their money
Fragmented efforts to promote U S peanuts abroad had been funded in past years primarily by the growers and shellers But last year the National Peanut Council received a 45 million dollar grant from the Foreign Agriculture Service of the US Department of Agriculture Part of the Targeted Export Assistance TEA
Program the grant was designed to assist
Peanuts are Georgias gold that grows accounting for 47 of the states row crop income in 1986 During calendar year 1986
356000 tons of green peanuts were exported through the Port of Savannah with a market value of nearly 40 million dollars
US commodities in the development of new markets overseas
Soon major public relations campaigns were planned and launched in the United Kingdom West Germany Holland and France These markets accounted for 85 of US peanut exports to Europe during the 198586 crop year and were the markets judged to have the greatest potential for volume expansion and increased per capita consumption By working with importers and food processors in Europe to develop new products and expand promotional support for existing brands the National Peanut Council hoped to greatly expand its presence in key European countries
to compete in the healthconscious consumer market
The National Peanut Council also became an official sponsor of a British Look After Your Heart campaign to fight the abnormally high incidence of heart disease in England The campaign demonstrated that peanuts and peanut butter can contribute toward a healthy diet needed to deter heart disease
Peanuts Seek New Season in West Germany Knack sie alle is the battle cry of the US peanut industry in West Germany Translated as Crack em all it is hoped that the sound of cracking inshell peanuts from the US will become a popular sound in West Germany The National Peanut Council joining with importers has developed promotions utilizing colorful point of sale materials in West German supermarkets
The peak season for inshell peanuts in West Germany is the September to
December period traditionally associated with home baking for the holidays One of the major aims of the new campaign is to increase inshell consumption during the offseason of January through August
Le Peanut French Gourmet Ingredient A special project tailored for the French market utilizes a peanut cookbook developed by a wellknown French chef to expand press coverage of peanuts and peanut products Press kits have been distributed nationally to publications and educators in cooperation with French companies who import and process US peanuts
BELOW The US is the worlds leading exporter of edible peanuts accounting for approximately 50 of total world peanut exports in 1986 Over the last six years US exports have increased steadily in a period of a strengthened US dollar and deteriorating exports of most US agricultural products Major markets for US peanuts are Europe Canada and Japan
ABOVE Crack em all is the slogan developed by importers to sell American peanuts in West Germany through pointofsale supermarket displays The Quality USA logo appears on exported peanut products to emphasize the consistent quality of Americangrown peanuts
Raising Health Consciousness in the UK
The peanut industry did its homework in the UK A poll of housewives revealed that only 24 percent knew peanuts came from the United States while 59 percent had no idea of the origin of peanuts they consumed It was also discovered that a large number of British consumers were unaware of the positive nutritional benefits of peanuts and peanut butter Surprisingly perceptions of the nutritional benefits of peanut butter were worse than those of peanuts
While the results of the poll pointed to a wide open market in the UK the US peanut industry had already made great inroads with cooperative marketing teaming with the top peanut butter manufacturer in England One of the UKs largest food processors introduced new natural versions of its peanut butter
LEFT A combine empties its load of green peanuts into a wagon The wagons are fitted with double floors allowing air to be forced through the peanuts for drying

In many cases packaging promotional materials and advertising campaigns were redesigned to include the Quality USA logo The National Peanut Council worked with leading snack manufacturers to launch new products containing US peanuts
The TEA dollars could not have come at a better time The US was rebounding from a a drought year and crop estimates were low Armed with this information the Europeans felt that the US would be unable to honor their commitment on peanuts and began buying peanuts from China Argentina and some African countries The US did produce sufficient quantities after all and the result has been warehouses filled to capacity in Rotterdam the primary point of entry for US peanuts bound for Europe
Rotterdam is the center of peanut trading in Europe Peanut stocks are estimated to be between 110000 and
150000 metric tons about two and a half times normal supplies
This situation occurred as a result of the dramatic price increase last year from the US crop shortfall These stocks containing peanuts from all over the world are a major influence in current marketing efforts
Estimates of US peanuts in Rotterdam vary from five to thirty percent of total stocks Much of the remaining stocks of US peanuts are believed to be purchases made by European manufacturers who overbought due to last years price increase
The question being asked by US farmers is how long it will take to dispose of the European peanut surplus and how the oversupply will continue to affect US peanut exports Dutch imports of US kernels during the first four months of 1987 have declined 33 percent compared to the same period in 1986
The US facesstiff competition from China and Argentina Many manufacturers all over the world feel that US peanuts offer the best flavor uniformity and shelf life however price has become an important factor The governments of China and Argentina subsidize their peanut industries presenting an awkward competitive situation on an uneven playing field
But the US is taking positive steps Georgia has led the way with a seven
percent reduction in planted acreage in 1987 in an effort to alleviate the oversupply Combined with a ten percent reduction by Alabama farmers the two states contributed to a 39 percent overall decline in planted acreage despite increases in the other peanut states
Optimism for gaining ground on exports is strong Wilbur Gamble Chairman of both the Georgia Peanut Commission and the National Peanut Council has repeatedly said that a reduction in plantings and the increased awareness
campaign in Europe can only mean a brighter future for shipments of Georgia peanuts to European estimations
Other major steps being taken to insure additional market share abroad includes an intense effort to improve peanut quality and flavor
The US Department of Agriculture estimates that US exports of inshell peanuts will increase ten percent or
34000 metric tons during the August
1987 July 1988 marketing year Hilton Settle Director of the National Peanut
40
AnchorAge

Council office in London believes that estimate to be conservative believing the US will exceed the forecasted amount of increased shipments to Europe
One major factor will be a decline in the prices of US peanuts At current prices we will be in an excellent position to regain lost business and capture new customers increasing our market share in Europe said Settle This situation should work to our benefit throughout 1988

FIRST SAABS ARRIVE AT COLONELS ISLAND
Just over a month after announcing intentions to begin importing their prestige automobiles through the Port of Brunswick the first shipment of Saabs arrived at Colonels Island
The arrival of the Nissan Car Carriers vessel Kyushu Maru under charter to HoeghUgland Auto Liners signalled the arrival of the new 1988 models to the Southeastern US the first of 16000 Swedishmade Saabs per year to discharge at the Port of Brunswick
SaabScania of North America Inc has signed a multiyear contract which will deliver approximately 35 percent of its annual US volume to the Colonels Island site After onsite preparation by International Auto Processing which includes removal of the finish protectant installation of optional equipment and cleaning the cars are sorted and delivered via truck to Saab dealers in 17 Southeastern states
An informal shipboard reception hosted by Captain Matsumoto Master of the Kyushu Maru presented the oppor

ORIENTATION PAYS OFF FOR SAAB
SaabScania of America felt it important that the people handling their automobiles at Colonels Island be wellversed in Saab before the first key was turned and the first car was driven onto the dock
So before the arrival of the first shipment a management team from Saabs American headquarters arrived at Brunswick to conduct a special orientation for all companies involved in moving Saab automobiles at Colonels Island
In attendance were representatives from International Auto Processing Centurion Auto Transport Dixie Auto Transport Commercial Carriers DJ Powers Customs Broker for Saab in Brunswick Carolina Shipping Company Palmetto Shipping Company Marine Survey US Customs Georgia Ports Authority and 30 members of the ILA local

HOUSEBOAT HEAVEN
Long considered the redheaded stepchild of real boats the houseboat is coming into its own with the help of a Georgia company supplying the international market with its designs Recently a striking Hilburn Custom Marine houseboat transited CONTAINERPORT on its way to a new home on the Thames River in England Delivered on a speciallymade trailer and papered with high wide overweight and special routing permits the houseboat made an impressive sight as it awaited loading Frederick Richards of Georgia made the forwarding arrangements
Since 1980 Hilburn Custom Marine has been making aluminum houseboats and motor yachts for a growing international clientele Not bad for a small company in Tunnel Hill Georgia a hamlet near Georgias carpet capital of Dalton
Setting up shop in a former Chris Craft manufacturing plant Hilburn Marines three partners Cliff Hilburn Rusty Ross and Steve Kitterman started small As their notoriety spread they acquired a
sales representative in England Europe is sort of a new market for houseboats said Ross Theyve traveled around on barges for years but houseboats are just beginning to catch on
Hilburn makes each houseboat to order from 48 to 62 feet in length The interiors are furnished according to the owners instructions from walnut paneling to chandeliers The cost In the 200000 range replied Ross
The houseboat which transited CONTAINERPORT was purchased by an international financier and diplomat as a birthday present for his brother who has an estate on the Thames River Because of the low bridges in Europe the boat was made to a 12foot height with a special dropped cabin Fitted with a generator
This 62foot houseboat was made to order for a diplomat living on the Thames River in England With a Targe galley wet bar two halfheads and no sleeping compartments this boat is strictly of the party variety
specially wired to UK specifications and two 130 hp Volvo diesel engines the boat can travel at approximately 20 knots
As a testimony to the houseboats seaworthiness Ross related the story of its delivery to England After loading at Savannah onto TFLs Rotterdam the boat was discharged at Felixstowe A water delivery to the mouth of the Thames had been planned ordinarily an uneventful 40mile cruise down the eastern coastline of England Instead the houseboat and her crew fought 8foot seas the aftermath of a seasonal storm With water breaking over the bow the boat and her four bilge pumps passed with flying colors and was delivered to the mysterious new owners dock on the Thames near Cambridge
Currently in production by Hilburn Marines 50 employees are five boats with two on the drawing board With characteristic modesty Ross says Were doing good and thats just about where we want to be

shrinking rail industry The GAI is still in effect and gives an employee up to six years pay and benefits when he is severed from the company due to lack of available work
Estimated to cost the American railroads 380 million dollars per year Sanborn urged customers and nonrail carriers to decide where their interests lie on protection payments now being considered to extend to line sales by large carriers and make their views known
Ratajski injected a positive note to the raillabor discussion citing the recentlylaunched daily intermodal service between Savannah and Atlanta The Nancy Hanks named after the old Central of Georgia passenger train operates under unique labor agreements that provide for a twoperson crew on through trains of up to 80 cars It also permits nonstop operation meaning no crew changes Because of these agreements this new service is competitive with trucks serving Southeast ports
On the subject of next years rail industry labor negotiations Sanborn expressed the hope that both sides will take the opportunity to work together to develop realistic contracts that guarantee a positive future for shipper carrier and employee Ratajski echoed that sentiment calling the negotiations vitally important to the railroads future

PERSPECTIVE
A saying which always holds true is the one which goes something like nothing is certain but change 1987 dawned as a year of challenge for Georgia Ports Authority and certainly one of change as the effects of US Lines departure from the Port of Savannah began to manifest themselves
Choosing to take an aggressive stance rather than retreat and regroup we stepped up our marketing efforts sending representatives from our worldwide network of trade development offices to customers with the borrowed message
The rumors of our demise are greatly exaggerated
And so they were because calendar year 1987 has proven to be a rebuilding year for GPA as well as an exciting time to be involved in world trade and transportation
Show of Strength
At the time of the US Lines filing of Chapter 11 their business accounted for 42 of the container tonnage through the Port of Savannah By the end of calendar year 1987 statistics showed that container tonnage was down only 16 over calendar year 1986 And the last six months of 1987 showed an additional 2 narrowing over the same period in 1986
A strong complement of steamship lines calling the port of Savannah most undergoing capacityboosting newbuild programs have worked to provide the best possible options to shippers The shippers know as do these steamship lines that Savannah offers the location the services and the infrastructure needed for the maximum efficiency rating on their timesensitive cargoes
For calendar year 1988 an increase in container tonnage is anticipated based on the strength of these and other yettobeannounced steamship lines coming into the Port of Savannah So confident are we
in the progress being made at this time that we predict the remaining gap between 86 and 87 cargo levels will be closed surpassing even those high levels attained in 1986
Diversity and an unwavering commitment to planned expansion were also important factors in 1987s positive outlook Recent improvements made to Savannahs Ocean Terminal have already brought additional breakbulk business to that facility with continued growth promised for 1988
Breakbulk cargoes remain an important mainstay of GPAs business in Savannah and Brunswick with steel machinery linerboard and forest products leading the cargo mix The forest products industry still Georgias largest has experienced a 40 surge in export activity during the calendar year spurred by the fall of the dollar As long as the dollar remains at nearcurrent levels as predicted this activity as well as new commodities entering the export market is expected to continue
Meanwhile in Brunswick Diversity and progress were also in evidence at Brunswick the nations newest automobile importing center With prestigious makers Yugo BMW Saab Peugeot and Hyundai as firstyear customers the positive fate of Colonels Island has been sealed With new announcements expected early in 1988 the current level of 135000 will mushroom to
250000 by the end of 1989
And while Colonels Island has bustled through 1987 other Brunswick terminals East River Mayors Point and the newlyacquired Lanier Dock have shown marked increases in handling of bulk and breakbulk materials contributing significantly to GPAs overall tonnage totals
Law Review
A review of 1987 would not be complete without mentioning the successful passage of legislation vital to the growth of the port
The Federal Highway Act allocated funds necessary for the replacement of the Talmadge Bridge a 33yearold structure spanning the Savannah River Ground has been broken on the new bridge to soar to a height of 186 feet above the river allowing the new generation of cargo ships to enter Savannahs harbor with ease by 1990
The Water Resources Act brought approval for the widening of a 56mile stretch of the Savannah River A 500foot wide channel will aid larger vessels in their approach to GPAs CONTAINERPORT facility
1988 and Beyond
As mentioned previously in this column GPAs acquisition of Mulberry Grove a 2200acre site just west of Garden City Terminal leads our march into the future Situated along 195 the east coasts major northsouth artery served by two railroad trunk lines and with deepwater frontage sufficient for up to seven berths Mulberry Grove allows room for future expansion as a stateoftheart intermodal terminal Environmental and historical concerns will be addressed actively during 1988 and we remain confident of a startup date within the early part of the next decade
Reflecting on the events of 1987 and the promise that is 1988 we look to a bright future for our facilities and our industry And to our friends around the world we extend a heartfelt wish for a healthy and prosperous New Year

CHRISTMAS AT THE GEORGIA GOVERNORS MANSION

m
he stately Atlanta mansion which serves as the official residence of the Governor of the State of Georgia is a showcase stocked with American antiques But at no time is the mansion more lovely than at Christmastime when Georgias First Lady Elizabeth Harris directs the adornment of the mansion with a wealth of natural materials most gleaned from Georgias forests and gardens
Completed in January 1968 the Georgia Governors mansion sits on the crest of a gentle knoll surrounded by 18 acres of lawns and gardens Like the first Governors mansion built in 1838 in the former capital city of Milledgeville it was built in the Greek Revival style The house designed by a Georgia architect contains 24000 square feet including living quarters for the Governors family security and staff offices and a ballroom which can seat over 200 for dinner
The collection of 19th century furnishings paintings and porcelain in the mansion are in the NeoClassical style compatible with the architectural design Most of the furniture is American and constitutes one of the finest collections of Federal Period furniture in the United States

The Georgia Governors Mansion is located at 391 West Paces Ferry Road N W Atlanta Georgia 30305 The mansion is open to the public on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1000 am to 1130 am with extended tour days during the month of December
Tussiemussies oldfashioned nosegays made from dried flowers and herbs are Mrs Harris personal favorites On the first open house following the inauguration of Governor Harris mansion hostesses were each presented with their own tussiemussie bouquet
The Christmas season at the Georgia Governors mansion begins in midAugust when Elizabeth Harris meets with her staff to begin planning Many of the decorations have become like old friends returning with only slight modifications year after year Others are tried evaluated and may not be used again depending on their success in the previous years decorating scheme We try to enhance the mansion not just drape it says Mrs Harris Each year we add something different while retaining the same warm feeling of a traditional Christmas This years special addition was a ninefoottall tree made of laquered white pinecones from near Macon Georgia studded with pecans walnuts cotton pods and other natural Georgia materials
Materials are gathered both from the grounds of the mansion and elsewhere throughout the year Mrs Harris has worked to refurbish the rose garden on the mansion grounds since her arrival in 1983 and staff gardeners are charged with collecting the fallen rose petals to be recycled into fragrant Christmas potpourri Other flowers and herbs are selected from the cutting garden and magnolia leaves and pods cedar several varieties of holly pinecones and honeysuckle vines are collected from the mansions vast array of plantings
Relying on her talented mansion staff some professional design help Richs department store donates a decorated tree each year and a network of friends across the state who supply her with exotica like
huge pinecones from North Georgia and Spanish Moss from Savannah Mrs Harris takes a personal interest in each arrangement each wreath and garland Weve tried to maintain the feeling of the period of the mansions furnishings while using materials from Georgia or that reflect Georgia in our Christmas decorations says Mrs Harris
Touring the mansion dressed in its holiday best the senses are accosted with wreaths and manteltop arrangements made from shiny fruits and greenery adorning doorways and cozy rooms White pine boughs studded with magnolia leaves and pinecones cascade down the graceful entry staircase Rich fluffy bows with a sprig of evergreen dress up a pair of brass wall sconces Bowls of potpourri and pomander balls add Christmas spice mixed with the clean scent of pine It seems that every

The effort Mrs Harris brings to decorating the Governors mansion each year is a labor of love for which shes been rewarded many times over by the mansions owners the citizens of Georgia Early each December the Governor and Mrs Harris light a great tree on the front lawn of the mansion officially opening their home for tours during the holiday season Christmas is the most special time of the year a time for families explains Mrs Harris And seeing families come into the Governors mansion enjoying the season together is a wonderful Christmas present dont you think

A SWEET DEAL
Florida Sugar Transits Cl Bulk Facility
For John Lopezona this deal was like a marriage a wedding of three parties each with separate objectives but common goals A recent trial shipment of commercial raw sugar through Brunswick at the Colonels Island bulk facility proved a viable move with attandant benefits for all
For Lopezona Colonels Island is an alternate outlet through which sugar from Florida can be shipped For CSX who brought the 100ton hopper cars of sugar into the facility it means new bulk revenues And for the Georgia Ports Authority the shipment represents a new customer for the stateoftheart bulk facility on the island
A native of Cuba John Lopezona has worked in sugar all his life Since arriving in the US some years ago he has worked at several sugar refineries around the country spending 24 years at National Sugar Refinery in Philadelphia Eighteen
months ago Lopezona decided to relocate to south Florida and the heart of sugar cane country There Lopezona represents the Okalanta Corporation selling raw Florida sugar to refineries
The Florida Sugar Marketing and Terminal Association FSMTA serves as the sole entity for marketing sugar produced at six of seven sugar mills in Florida In the 1970s the FSMTA built a terminal at West Palm Beach for shipping member mills sugar to refineries all over the US With 14 million short tons of raw sugar per year moving out of Florida the West Palm Beach terminal is nearing capacity
Lopezona worried about shipping delays through an overcrowded terminal voiced his concern to Buck Riggle who serves as Director of Agricultural Products with the CSX Distribution Services Group in Jacksonville Florida Having worked with Riggle on a previous move
John Lopezona I had high praise for Buck Riggle of CSX r who suggested the Colonels Island bulk facility as an alternate terminal for shipping Florida sugar to refineries
Lopezona had hoped to discuss the possibility of finding additional storage space near the West Palm Beach terminal Lopezona was surprised when Riggle suggested Colonels Island as an alternate terminal for the Association
Riggle whose job is to be familiar with bulk facilities all over the Southeast knew that the Colonels Island Bulk facility was ideal for moving sugar from Florida Close proximity to central Florida direct rail access to the facility a computerized handling system and 135000 square feet of covered storage were all ingredients for a successful move

continued
Within a matter of weeks Lopezona had approached the directors of the FSMTA with a proposal for a trial move through Colonels Island The Association agreed that a backup site was needed to relieve their overcrowded facility and assented to the trial
In characteristic fashion the energetic Lopezona moved quickly obtaining a 10500ton shipment for the trial Within one week CSX had positioned 120 covered hopper cars at the associations member mills in Florida On arrival at Colonels Island the raw sugar was unloaded into the bulk storage facility A barge owned by the Sheridan Company in
The fragrant raw sugar awaits retrieval by a sophisticated scraperreclaimer a series of blades which pull the cargo from piles onto a conveyor bound ultimately for the shiploader
Philadelphia and represented by Brunswick Shipping Company was dispatched to transport the load to a refinery in the New York area where the largegrained brown raw sugar will be transformed into refined granulated sugar
With praise for all involved in the move John Lopezona particularly credits Buck Riggle for analyzing the situation put before him and finding a solution which met his customers needs I have only been in this part of the country for a short time and was not yet aware that a facility like Colonels Island existed explained Lopezona Buck got us together and everybodys happy about it he added
Riggle was equally pleased with the participation of CSX in the trial shipment noting that CSX had moved 125000 tons of bulk material in hopper cars during the
The commercial raw sugar was loaded at Colonels Island onto a 100ton barge owned by the Sheridan Company The telescoping shiploader spout allowed for an even fill in all hatches
past year They said it couldnt be done with the current state of the bulk market but we have aggressively gone after the business thats there said Riggle An excellent example of our commitment to moving bulk products was our positioning of the 120 hopper cars needed for this particular move within one week said Riggle They didnt think that could be done either
The trial move deemed a success by its participants may pave the way for more

EVJENS THREE YEAR PLAN
THE DOME IN 1991
If all goes according to the precise plan being administered by Lowell Evjen Atlanta and Georgia will be enjoying the numerous benefits of a new domed stadium by 1991
E
JLmm en President of the Georgia Stadium Corporation is no stranger to the formulation and execution of a master plan Formerly with the state of Georgia where he served in the Office of Planning and Budget as Director of Physical and Economic Development Evjen was responsible for statewide policy and program planning financial and issue analysis and budget development and control for state agencies Economic development transportation natural resources environmental protection ports and waterways and outdoor recreation all came under Evjens responsibility
He served as Staff Director to the Environmental Study Commission the Great Park Authority the Georgia Hazardous Waste Management Authority and the Georgia Agricultural Expo Authority Evjen was also a member of the executive committee of the Atlanta 88 Convention Task Force a group which successfully attracted the 1988 Democratic National Convention to Atlanta As a member of the TriRivers Waterway Development Task Force Evjen was instrumental in initiating a rock relocation project which allowed a minimum maintained depth for access to Georgia
Ports Authority barge terminals at Bainbridge and Columbus
But as President of the Georgia Stadium Corporation Evjen has a new set of challenges to meet In 1985 Atlanta business community leaders pooled their efforts to face an approaching problem The challenge to ensure that the city maintains its rightful place as a worldclass international city with facilities to match
Clearly the Georgia World Congress Center now the nations busiest convention facility would have to expand to meet increasing demands for more exhibition space and facilities At the same time Atlantas professional football and baseball franchises were assessing whether to remain at the AtlantaFulton County Stadium where their leases expire on December 31 1990 The stadium has served both teams for 22 years but the teams were concerned about the future regarding design limitations and advancing age

DOME
1991
The business leaders formed the Atlanta Stadium Study Executive Committee which sought and received participation from the city county and state as well as from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Falcons and Braves owners The study was managed by the state Office of Planning and Budget at the direction of Governor Joe Frank Harris Lowell Evjen served as the states liaison to the committee The committee commissioned experts from across the country to analyze financing design noise traffic parking access to rapid transit and overall impact on the city state and region
The Stadium Commission focused on identifying feasible options for housing the professional sports teams to provide the greatest economic impact and benefit to Atlanta and the state Finally the committee recommended a domed football stadium located adjacent to and managed by the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta The domed stadium would operate yearround and generate activities and events other than football
The Georgia Domes total cost is projected at 158 million and the committees goal was to use as little public funding as possible As a result the committee devised a plan to secure 70 percent private funds coupled with 30 percent public financing The Georgia
The Georgia Dome will be adjacent to the Georgia World Congress Center the busiest convention facility in the nation
Dome to be a statewide asset would provide an incremental 12 million in tax revenue to benefit the city county and state
The stadium would house conventions exhibitions entertainment and other sporting events throughout the year along with the Georgia World Congress Center providing an unrivaled complex for hosting the worlds largest spectator and special events The Georgia World Congress Center has been a major contributor to the states revenues since opening in 1976 through new jobs and new visitors to the state When plans for the current expansion of the Congress Center were made public five new hotels were announced within a week
The Georgia Stadium Corporation owned by a group of private investors was formed in 1987 to obtain financing for the stadium by preselling the planned 80 Executive Suites and 5800 Club Seats for the 1991 Atlanta Falcons football season Evjen who joined the GSC in October 1987 reports that the response has been overwhelming with 85 of the suites sold out within the first month When the marketing effort is completed private financing for the stadium will be deemed put into place The Stadium Corporation will grant exclusive control of events and activities held at the stadium to the Georgia World Congress Center and revert ownership to the state of Georgia after 50 years
The spectacular design of the Georgia Dome encompasses several firsts It will be the worlds largest cablesupported dome and also the very first ovalshaped dome of its type Using the latest technological advances the dome will be supported by cables made of stranded steel covered with high grade Tefloncoated fiberglass
Additionally the Dome will be the largest stadium to employ the principle of tensegrity or tension integrity meaning continuous tension throughout Invented by worldrenowned engineer and architect Buckminster Fuller it was first demonstrated in two round domes seating
13000 at Olympic Park in Seoul Korea in 1986
The Georgia Dome to be completed in time for the 1991 NFL season will seat
72000 football fans Configured for concerts the dome will seat about 62000 people allowing the Georgia World Congress Center to vie for events that formerly were unable to find appropriate facilities in Georgia Atlanta can now plan to host Super Bowls College football games NCAA Final Four Tournaments and fill the Peach Bowl with toplevel teams says Evjen about the prospect of attracting national and international sporting events
The enclosed stadium will be climatecontrolled to foster maximum use throughout the year It is expected to be used up to 150 eventdays per year making the dome one of the most used convention and sports arenas in the country The multipurpose domed stadium will generate new jobs and bring more visitors and events to Atlanta and to Georgia According to the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade statewide tourism generated 4054 million in state tax revenues in 1986 Atlanta Convention and Visitors Bureau statistics indicate that in 1985 nearly 10 million
To be the worlds largest cablesupported dome the new stadium will hold 72000 football fans

AnchorAge
NovemberDecember 1987
visitors to Atlanta spent 373 billion Evjen points out that the location adjoining the nations busiest convention facility next to bus and rapid rail service and close to extensive parking drives the projected return of 12 million per year to such a positive level
Highly publicized endorsements for the stadium and its financing plan have been secured from city and state officials at the highest levels but Evjen has yet to make a clean sweep of some Atlanta residents who object to the proposed site of the Dome Via a carefully selected advisory board of community leaders the Stadium Corporation is undertaking a Community Assessment to address issues concerning the citizens of Vine City and Lightning
two areas to be affected by the placement of the stadium
We hope to show the advisory board how a domed stadium combined with a convention center can function in harmony with the city and the surrounding community says Evjen And with Evjen as the can do quarterback spearheading the drive to sell the Dome to Atlanta and the State of Georgia there seem to be only opportunities to tackle and more touchdowns to make
The Atlanta Falcons professional football team will be the first and primary tenant of the Georgia Dome

GROUND BROKEN ON TALMADGE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT
With the 1954 edition of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge as a backdrop and strains of stirring patriotic music supplied by Fort Stewarts 24th Infantry Division Band more than 30 dignitaries with local state and national affiliations broke ground on the longawaited replacement for the bridge
State Senator Tom Coleman Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee served as master of ceremonies for the festivities and praised many of the guests
The old makes way for the new A crowd of several hundred gathered to witness the historic groundbreaking at the foot of the present Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge

who sat behind him on the platform as being instrumental in obtaining the bridge replacement
The idea of many different people and organizations uniting for a common goal was a recurring theme in the remarks heard prior to the groundbreaking ceremony Governor Joe Frank Harris
State Senator Tom Coleman State Representative Tom Triplett First District Congressman Lindsay Thomas and US Senators Sam Nunn and Wyche Fowler were said to have worn white hats in the evolution of the project
Arnold Tenenbaum Chairman of the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce said that the replacement of the bridge stands for a renewed beginning for Savannah Chatham County and the state And with the Port as the foundation of the areas economic base replacing the bridge was critical for that base to grow
Waxing poetic Chatham County Commission Chairman Charlie Brooks quoted an appropriate saying that The wills of the gods grind slowly but exceeding fine adding he was grateful that so many people kept their eyes on the stars instead of dwelling on the problems encountered over the past several years in obtaining the bridge
continued on page 48

The work force reduction charge is based on the elimination of an estimated 5000 employees through the end of 1990 Combined with earlier programs this will bring total voluntary early retirement and severance reductions to approximately 6000 of which 2600 have already occurred The reductions will reduce costs about 78 million in 1988 and between 115 143 million annually by 1990
Pervasive changes in the economic and competitive environment and in operating practices have required us to take these steps said Arnold B McKinnon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer However the costs will be returned quickly in depreciation maintenance and wages

A tradition still in its infancy the Second Annual Georgia AnchorAge DesignACover Competition met with resounding success once again this year
Open only to students of the Savannah College of Art and Design the competitions criteria was to design a cover for the NovemberDecember 1987 issue of Georgia AnchorAge incorporating a combination of shipping and holiday themes The entries also had to be in a vertical format proportional in size to the cover of the magazine with an uncluttered area at top left for overprinting the type masthead
Armed with this information the students set to work on their illustrations some visiting the port or watching ships in the Savannah River channel some poring over past issues of the magazine for photographs of oceangoing vessels and images of the shipping industry to translate into art
For First and Second Place scholarships of 1000 and 500 were to be awarded with Third Place receiving a 200 cash award After a difficult judging assignment the winners were announced on December 2nd
Senior student George Crawford captured First Place with his colorful airbrush acrylic entitled Christmas Arrival A Savannah native Crawford attended the US Military Academy at West Point for two years before attending Armstrong State College in Savannah Graduating with a Bachelors Degree in Art he is now working towards his second Bachelors Degree in Illustration at SCAD Crawford has been named to the National Deans List and to Whos Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges After graduation in 1988 Crawford hopes to work as an airbrush illustrator

Early in his first administration Governor Joe Frank Harris made the replacement of the Talmadge Bridge a top priority for Georgia
Ending the program with his keynote address Governor Harris expressed appreciation to all present who worked so diligently to obtain approval and funding for the bridge replacement So much of our history has been shaped by our ports and seacoasts and inland waterways said Governor Harris This new bridge will stand as a symbol for the progressive state of Georgia And touching on the recurring theme he closed by saying We have no boundaries no barriers no limitations when we work together to fulfill a vision we all embrace
