II PERSPECTIVE
AnchorAge
This year marks the fifth and by early indicators the most successful year yet for the growing International Intermodal Expo to be held in Atlanta Georgia
April 1921
Since its inception in 1983 Expo attendance has soared from a few hundred to over 2500 a tribute to the planning and organization of Nat Welch and the Georgia Freight Bureau It is the one conference which offers the opportunity for port authorities steamship lines railroads trucking companies transportation managers equipment manufacturers in short everyone having a piece of the pie to come together and listen to industry movers and shakers like Michael Walsh of Union Pacific Railroad and Burnell Roberts of Mead Corporation catch up on the latest trends and make valuable contacts through panel discussions exhibits and informal meetings
Besides the fact that we are proud that the premiere event of intermodal is held in our home state its permanent home Atlanta is no fluke of scheduling Transportation is Atlantas reason for being and it is transportation in the very broadest and largest sense
Increasingly companies seeking to supply the growing industrialpopulation base of the sunbelt and midwest find Georgias transportation and distribution resources the most efficient and cost effective Atlanta is the biggest market in
the southeast with 23 million people and a transportation infrastructure with advantages plus CSX and Norfolk Southern Railroads serve an endlessly varied cargo mix through their sophisticated Atlanta hubs Georgias highway system is regarded as one of the nations most efficient with three Interstates intersecting in the heart of Atlantas industrial district And Hartsfield International Airport now the worlds busiest air passenger terminal is burgeoning with nonstop international air freight capabilities
All these factors plus top support and feeder services available in the Atlanta area and beyond in Georgias port cities Savannah and Brunswick add up to an unbeatable combination So when we talk about Savannahs strategic location at the center of the South Atlantic coupled with the distinct advantage of being hours away from the transportation and distribution center of the southeast were not just whistlin Dixie See you at the Expo
Editors Note You may notice a change on the cover this issue of Georgia AnchorAge The new year 1988 just as it heralds many changes in the transportation arena holds some changes for our magazine as well
Beginning with this issue Georgia AnchorAge will be published on a quarterly basis This change has been thoughtfully made with the optimum quality of the magazine foremost in our minds During the course of the year you will be seeing some changes in our departments like Portfolio and On Deck improvements in our graphic design and photography and some innovations in our yearly Port Services Directory and Fiscal Year Update
By issuing the magazine quarterly rather than bimonthly Georgia Ports Authority can continue to offer what we feel is the best port publication in the country with no sacrifice of quality in the process
As always we are interested in your comments and suggestions on Georgia AnchorAge because this is your magazine too

GPA Executive Director George Nichols has announced that beginning April 1
1988 the Georgia Ports Authority has the technical capability in place to begin Electronic Data Interchange
Nichols made the announcement in New York during a panel session focusing on port automation at the recent Containerization and Intermodal Institute Conference on Communication and Transportation in the Global Economy We have recently been informed by one of the major shippers in the United States that Savannah has been chosen as their consolidating port not only because of our favorable geography and facilities but because of our advanced automated port systems said Nichols We have made a commitment to bring online our first phase of EDI as soon as possible Electronic Data Interchange involves computertocomputer data exchange for use by industry and government The objective of the EDI program is to develop and maintain standards for Electronic Data Interchange so that they are generally usable by all sizes and types of companies
With EDI improvements in operations timing data handling and associated costs not readily achieved in paperbased
systems are facilitated through the electronic interchange of data between manufacturers wholesalers distributors retailers brokers shippers consignees carriers forwarders banks and government
Electronic Data Interchange is being actively developed in North America Europe and the Far East Many trade groups and committees both nationally and internationally are now developing EDI standards In North America development is proceeding under the direction of the American National Standards Institute ANSI X12 Committee and the Transportation Data Coordinating Committee TDCC ANSI is servicing the grocery and warehouse industries as well as general business applications TDCC is developing standards for the air motor rail government aud ocean industries under various committee headings
The Georgia Ports Authority is actively participating on a subcommittee of the Ocean Standards Maintenance Committee called TOPAS Terminal Operators and Port Authority Subcommittee This group has recently completed an ocean manifest transaction set for EDI transmission Other sets for gate activity stow plans and vessel schedules aie under development
Initially steamship lines calling the port will be transmitting manifest data in standard EDI form directly to the GPA computer saving the labor cost of keying this data into the computer Shippers and importers will be offered this capability to exchange information concerning their cargoes As EDI standards are developed they will become available to customers of the Georgia Ports Authority
An acknowledged leader in systems development for the port industry Georgia Ports Authority instituted an online container tracking system in 1977 featuring vessel scheduling receiving equipment control cargo status and departure information available electronically to authorized users
Since that time new data base technologies have been applied and with the assistance of an Automation Advisoiy Committee comprised of representatives
from US Customs US Department of Agriculture Customs brokers freight forwarders agents steamship lines and truckers the COBRA Customs OnLine with Brokers for Rapid Action System was developed Improving operational efficiency by reducing paperwork and minimizing time from vessel discharge to
gate departure the COBRA System provides paperless 3461 Customs entires manifest data in advance of vessel arrival electronic entry rejection and complete cargo activity and status information
Electronic Data Interchange will allow the Georgia Ports Authority to provide a natural progression in stateoftheart
systems development for its customers while utilizing existing systems It is the intention of GPA to not only provide modem efficient terminal facilities but to act as a center for the exchange of information with our international trading partners says Nichols EDI is the wave of the future and the future is here
GPAs CobraEDI network will facilitate twoway communication between the Port and freight forwarders Customs brokers steamship lines US Customs US Department of Agriculture motor carriers rail camera lease terminal operators and additional users The network is also capable of worldwide communication through the use of third party networks

A Member of the Hanjin Group
In an unprecedented move for an international steamship line Nedlloyd Lines a fullyowned division of the Nedlloyd Group of Rotterdam announced that its USA corporate headquarters would be relocated to Atlanta Georgia
The first major ocean carrier to move headquarters inland and away from a seaport the move was made for a number of reasons most having to do with Atlantas internationalization of recent years and its status as a major transportation and distribution center
Atlanta is corporate headquarters to many major shippers and is also host to Customs Brokers Freight Forwarders Agents major rail yards for CSX and Norfolk Southern and truck terminals In addition Hartsfield International Airport is now the busiest airport in the world with burgeoning air freight capabilities
With communication electronically via computer ease of air travel for Nedlloyds executives and less crowded less expensive office and residential areas Atlanta is attracting more and more businesses away from the traditional maritime and financial centers of the northeast
Nedlloyds new offices are located in North Atlanta with easy access from the citys perimeter highway 1285 North American headquarters will have a staff of over 50 people with responsibility for administration finance and accounting electronic data processing personnel marketing and operations including equipment control and supervision of loading and unloading traffic
In the past all transportation and shipping activities conducted by the several Nedlloyd subsidiary companies in the United States had been supervised from Rotterdam but in order to provide more efficient management and to better serve customers the parent company also elected to transfer the North Atlantic Trade Directorate office to Atlanta
Nedlloyds objectives in decentralizing its organization are to improve the quality of their transportation product responding
Nedlloyds North American headquarters is located at 2100 RiverEdge Parkway in a 100acre office park adjacent to the Chattahoochee River
faster to customer requirements and targeting increased market shares
The Trade Directorate consists of five Nedlloyd Lines Division offices responsible for sales customer service logistics intermodal and terminal operations The Division offices located in New Jersey
San Francisco Chicago Savannah and Houston will each report to the Trade Directorate North Atlantic
Frits van Riet has been named president of the new US holding company Nedlloyd Lines USA Corp and will also serve as a Trade Director of Nedlloyd Lines North Atlantic Trade Directorate and as a member of the board of directors of Nedlloyd Inc Mr van Reit will hold overall responsibility for Nedlloyds North Atlantic Shipping services in the US and Europe Once the reorganization is complete the new holding company which Nedlloyd is forming to reorganize its several subsidiary companies in the United States is expected to have consolidated gross annual revenue of 10 million and approximately 225 total employees
Nedlloyd Inc was originally incorporated in New York in 1939 under the name Java Pacific Lines Inc Nedlloyd Inc is one of approximately 170 wholly
At a reception marking the opening of Nedlloyds headquarters Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris I honored Nedlloyds North Atlantic Trade Director Frits van Riet with an Admirals commission in the fictitious Georgia Navy If we ever get into any trouble I hope we can borrow some of your ships because we dont have any the Governor quipped
owned subsidiaries within the worldwide Royal Nedlloyd Group NV There are an additional 30 majorityowned subsidiaries and a similar number of minorityowned companies within the overall Nedlloyd Group
The Nedlloyd Group was founded over a century ago and is based in Rotterdam the Netherlands It currently approximately 16000 employees withv annual gross revenues of 2 billion The Nedlloyd Groups principal activity is ocean transportation and shipping but it is also involved in inland shipping and transportation air transportation and energy activities such as oil and gas exploration and production
Nedlloyd Lines fleet is comprised of about 75 seagoing vessels with a combined asset value in excess of 1 billion in container roro multipurpose and conventional cargo vessels

Bennie and Abu quietly munched on bales of hay as their owner spoke to them in soothing tones as if to old friends The two elephants calmly swaying from side to side in a customized red trailer just might have realized how lucky they were within weeks they would be returned to their African homeland to a national wildlife preserve There they will live out their lives as breeding bulls for the growing herd in the park
Randall Moore a Portland Oregon native now calling Johannesberg home owns the two elephants and accompanied them from Texas where Bennie had lived at the Ft Worth Zoo for 15 years and Abu gave rides to children at an animal park at Grand Prairie He and the elephants traveled by truck to Savannah where they awaited the vessel which would take them to South Africa
A sort of selfstyled elephant entrepreneur Randall Moore became interested in elephants back in 1970 when he struck up a friendship with two people who owned and trained elephants After working with the elephants for three years Moore returned to college obtaining a degree in Biology
Moore has since owned and trained a succession of elephants providing them
for study and film work He and his elephants have worked on a documentary series Elephant Trails as well as a series for American Sportsman
Moores latest enterprise is an elephant safari using the elephants for riding and carrying supplies on extended safaris of two to three months in the wild Moore says it would be the only safari of its type available anywhere in Africa
Upon returning to Africa Abu will star in one last film before his retirement The movieCircles In The Forest is based on the true story of the raping of an African hardwood forest and the merciless slaughtering of elephants for their ivory Set in the Knysna Forest of the 1870s the forest is now a national preserve Only three wild elephants are known to remain at Knysna
While in Savannah waiting for the SAF Marine vessel Tebo to transport them to Africa Bennie and Abu their special 41 x 8 x 13 trailer plus a containerload of food and supplies were parked on a remote grassy area at Georgia Ports Authoritys Ocean Terminal Each elephant eats three bales of hay each day along with 15 pounds of grain and 50 gallons of water Logistically traveling with elephants said Randall Moore is sort of
Owner Randall Moore I and scientist Joseph Paine Dudley pose with elephant film star Abu
like mounting an invasion Enough food water medical supplies and equipment such as heaters for colder climates must be brought along to be easily accessible
Also traveling with Moore and the elephants was Joseph Paine Dudley who holds a Masters degree in wildlife ecology and has studied mammoth extinctions at the University of Florida Dudley and Moore met in Maryland at a private park where some of Moores elephants were being boarded While in Africa Dudley will be working on a PhD in wild elephants A recent finding that elephants communicate with each other via low range sound that can be heard as far away as five miles is a phenomenon that Dudley hopes to study further
Once released into the Pilanesberg National Forest at Bophuthatswana Bennie will be fitted with a radio collar It is hoped that the elephants will find each other using the lowrange sound waves and then their movements can be monitored by scientists for behavioral patterns

GOING STRONG
With New President New Vessels
Zim American Israeli Shipping Company has been a major presence in the Port of Savannah for a number of years Through diversification and the flexibility to adapt to changing economic climates Zim has been able to stay at the forefront of international cargo carriers consistently placing in the top 15 With a new president at the companys helm and the introduction of two new vessels Zim continues its mission
Zim Israel Navigation Company Ltd has added two chartered vessels to its worldwide fleet of ten The Frenchmade ships will increase by 20 the number of sailings but will mean an increase in
loading space since they are larger ships than others in Zims fleet The ships will be chartered until Zim introduces two new vessels in 1989 which will provide weekly service east and westbound Zims new chartered tonnage has been rechristened the Zim Livorno and the Zim Pusan in keeping with the Zim tradition of naming vessels after the companys ports of call
The Zim Pusan and the Zim Livorno which have maximum capacities of 2500 TEUs will be employed in Zims MediterraneanUnited StatesCanadaFar East service Combined with other growth strategies the introduction of new vessels enables us to offer our customers the

With the addition of the new chartered tonnage Zim has stepped up marketing efforts to keep each ship full If you take the cargo on ten ships and divide it by 12 ships youve done nothing but throw away your money says Merante We will be generating more cargo
Georgia AnchorAge talked recently with Merante and with the new President of ZAISCO Uri Adar Both offered valuable insights on the state of the ocean transportation industry and on running a major steamship line in todays fluctuating world economy
Uri Adar joined Zim in 1956 as a ships officer becoming a captain in 1961 He commanded the Zim Alon which operated in the West African service and was also the first officers cadet vessel operated by Zim
In 1964 Adar was appointed superintendent in Zims Haifa headquarters From 19691974 he was European cargo superintendent based in Genoa Upon his return to Israel in 1974 Adar became operations manager for Zim Container Service then spent a year as Zims representative in Iran In 1980 Adar returned to Genoa as president of Zims European area office
From 1983 until his new appointment as president of ZimAmerican Adar served in Haifa as vice president heading the Fleet Directorate He was responsible for overseeing the operations maintenance repairs and crewing of Zims fleet
As president Adar will oversee the addition of a number of different services to its existing network and will participate in the negotiation for construction of four to seven new ships to replace older vessels built in Genoa in 19712
Adar succeeds Eli Steinbuch as president Having completed six years as president of ZAISCO Steinbuch has returned to Israel to become head of the Shipping Directorate in Haifa
Merante Shipping is not something you can react to You have to make plans Shipping involves such a long term commitment that you cant switch in midstream
Adar We are looking to expand into air freight Not to purchase our own airplanes but to expand into forwarding Generally we are talking about expanding our activities to landbased operations like trucking and terminal handling and air freight
Merante And at the same time were continuing to look at the Caribbean which is an integral part of our service We have quite a bit of cargo out of Savannah to the Caribbean which connects over Jamaica to Port au Prince Haiti We also have a connection from Santo Domingo and Haiti and from Jamaica to Savannah using
mainliners coming from the Far East then north up the US east coast bringing all the Far East range of goods On that same ship we will have put cargo for the Caribbean So you see Savannah is becoming an important port for the Caribbean Service
Adar Zim has another service called North American Service calling Savannah on an inducement basis This service runs parallel with Zim Container Service and is a combination of containers and breakbulk service
Merante With the presidential election coming up there are many unkown factors There isnt any right answer even
Another thing that helps us is the size of our fleet To say that you have many ships means
nothing But to be able to manipulate your ships is a critical point
from the super economists We must be very cautious and be able to adapt as quickly as possible I think thats the strength of our company that we are able to adapt very quickly Were highly structured but in such a way that we can communicate very quickly and make decisions very quickly without going through too many layers of management
I have my own theory about world trade The US is a country which predominantly exports raw materials like forest products wastepaper aluminum scrap and resins to the Far East These are the materials that go into making finished goods that are in turn sent back to us If the dollar is making it possible for people to buy our products then the same people are not able to sell their finished products so they dont need to buy the wastepaper that goes into making the boxes to hold the manufactured televisions
In other parts of the world the scenario is quite different If we can get back into common market countries where light goods are manufactured there is still a potential There are also third world
countries who need to buy finished goods If the value of the dollar makes American goods affordable they wont buy from Germany or Japan Weve got to constantly evaluate because the economy is in a constant state of flux
Adar Weve countered this by opening up new markets Were not sitting still were constantly looking to see what is out there and what we must do to get the business Our very system of operation makes it possible for us to react
Merante We have a worldwide infrastructure that is equal to some of the best As an Israeli company we are not so nationalistic that we dont depend on nationals in the different areas that we are involved in In North America we have 11 Israelis out of 300 people Thats another strength that we get the knowhow and feeling of the local people
Adar Diversification has helped us to weather the bad years because we have not based ourselves completely on the hometrade We are into containers bulk tankers and conventional cargo Today our hometrades account for about 35 of our income 65 comes from trade that does not touch our home base even though we are still considered a national line which is a misconception The government of Israel owns only 40 of Zim Another 50 is in private hands with the remaining 10 owned by the Labor Federation one of the biggest economic forces in Israel
Zim was started in 1946 two years before the state of Israel was bom At that time the major shareholder was the Jewish Agency whch later became the government of Israel At that time they owned 80 and the Labor Federation owned 20 We are now an international concern
Adar When we started we didnt start as a container carrier we started as a conventional carrier And then because of the needs of Israel we developed into bulk and then to tankers and we stayed with them Being a national carrier we had to change with the needs of the country
Israel needed grains phosphates potassium and we could never actually drop it because the country still needs it
So in the end Id say thats whats saved us
Merante Another thing that helps us is the size of our fleet To say that you have many ships means nothing But to be able to manipulate your ships is a critical point Because of charters and long term commitments we were able to come out on top Its like having five apartment houses all empty on which you still had to pay the mortgages Either the ships we had were out on long term charter or at times we even chartered our own ship long term and then made up for the gap by chartering on short term

y Chooses Savannah for New
Corporate Home

One of the companys leading manufacturers of hunting apparel and sportswear Duxbak Inc has relocated its corporate headquarters to Savannah
The company founded in 1904 in Utica New York originally produced work clothes but soon evolved into the manufacture of clothing especially designed for hunting The introduction of cravenetting a nowobsolete process which made material water resistant while allowing air to circulate next to the skin prompted the phrase sheds water like a ducks back hence the companys trademark name since 1907 Duxbak
1
According to James Teaster President of Duxbak Inc Savannah was chosen as the relocation site for the company after an extensive search because of the excellent business climate and transportation network it provides plus close proximity to most of the companys vendors Sixtyfive percent of our sales volume comes from the Southeast says Teaster
Duxbaks new headquarters consists of 15000 square feet of office and warehouse space in the Savannah Port Authority Industrial Park Duxbaks manufacturing operation will remain in Utica New York but some lines carried by the company Teaster says are imported through the Port of Savannah and distributed from their new facility We feel this move positions us to better serve our customers and allow for future growth and expansion Teaster added

One of the bestkept secrets in Georgia seems to be a 628acre tract just south of Perry Georgia and in view of 175 Many of the 30000 people passing by daily are not yet aware that the site now under development is destined to be the Georgia Agricenter and home of the Georgia National Fair and Exposition
The 24 million dollar development grew out of an idea for a multipurpose I agricultural facility presented to Georgia Governor Joe Frank Harris by leaders from the Agriculture Committee of the House of Representatives the Cooperative Extension Service the State 4H and Future Farmers of America organizations
The Governor pledged his support by appointing a 23member feasibility study committee to set the project in motion
When the study was completed funding in the form of 20year taxfree general obligation bonds was put into place When sites were being considered as many as thirteen Georgia communities vied for the center but the site selection committee ultimately chose a tract of land in Houston County nestled in the heart of Georgia farm country along 175 the states major northsouth Interstate highway
From the beginning the purposes of the Georgia Agricenter have been 1 a facility for youth organizations to exhibit learn and compete in regional state and national shows 2 a facility where agricultural organizations can stage presentations promotions and exhibits 3 a

and two 20000 sq ft buildings suited for I trade shows educational exhibits agriculI tural meetings lectures banquets and small animal shows Each will be air conditioned with concession stands restrooms and large rollup doors for ease of access
The Henry L Reeves Arena with 5000 1 permanent elevated stadium seats and 3000 chairs on the arena floor is deI signed to be versatile enough to handle I events from indoor horse shows to tractor 1 pulls to concerts The beef and dairy
I facilities as well as the sheep and swine
I buildings are also well lighted air condi
Itioned and designed not only for animal shows but other events such as small concerts and lectures as well The Agricenter complex will also include outdoor arenas exercise rings and outdoor display space
With initial work on the project begun in December of 1986 an early to mid1989 completion date is planned More I than a halfmillion people per year are expected to visit the facility At the centers official groundbreaking ceremony this j past November Governor Harris assured all Georgians that the Perry facility Will bring credit and notice to all of Georgia adding that the center will be a world class facility and showplace for Georgias annual 125 billion dollar agricultural I industry
The 24 million dollar Georgia Agricenter will serve as a showplace for Georgia agriculture

PIER 1 GROUNDBREAKING
Pier 1 Imports broke ground recently on a new 7 million distribution center in Savannahs Port Industrial Park II When completed this summer the building will occupy 266000 square feet expandable to
395000 square feet
From one San Francisco discount import location in 1962 Pier 1 Imports has grown to become a leading specialty retailer of highquality imported home furnishings and decorative accessories There are over 350 stores and another 47 stores operated by franchisees in 37 states and Canada Distribution centers are now located in six cities Baltimore Chicago
Ft Worth Los Angeles Montreal and Savannah
In 1985 Pier 1 decided to expand their district centers from 759000 square feet They have since added 252000 square feet in Baltimore 252000 in Los Angeles
460000 in Ft Worth and have just completed 297000 square feet in Chicago
Pier 1 currently leases a distribution center in Savannahs Georgetown Industrial Park After an extensive search for property they located a 20acre site at Port Industrial Park II in Garden City
The deciding factors in choosing this location were close proximity to the Port and to container leasing and other services and the advantage of nearby highway and rail transportation
The Savannah Port Authority an industrial development entity not related to Georgia Ports Authority authorized the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds to provide the construction financing
The new warehouse will be 480 feet deep with a minimum interior height of 28 feet Exterior walls will be precast concrete with a contemporary Georgian facade 13850 cubic yards of concrete equal to coverage of a football field to a height of 8 4 will be utilized in the
construction of the building
The Savannah distribution center services Tennessee Alabama Georgia Virginia North Carolina South Carolina and Florida The new facility will serve the same area but company plans call for an additional 20 stores to be opened in the region by 1990 resulting in a 50 increase in volume for the center
Don Herbert Vice President of Distribution for Pier 1 Imports stated We are looking to the future for the company and feel that this new facility is needed to handle our anticipated growth The stores still rely on unique handcrafted items such as wicker furniture brassware and woven floor coverings but quality has been upgraded and some of the companys more fashionable items carry higher price tags
Pier 1 does its shopping in 60 countries Lately buyers have shifted more attention away from Asia to suppliers in South and Central America Scandinavia South Africa and Eastern Europe to present a broader international base in its stores
The expansion is expected to provide 80 to 90 new jobs in the Savannah area in a combination of direct employment and satellite industries
Earth movers Pier 1 executives and associates get a head start on the heavy equipment lr Don Herbert Vice President Distribution Vivian Starnes Savannah Distribution Center Manager and architect Gene Dockstetter receive an assist from Bob and Mike Moore general contractors for the project

The results of the study conducted by Martin OConnell Associates indicate that the Bridge acts as a constraint to navigation in three ways First the narrow horizontal clearance between the bridges piers and lack of maneuvering room to the west pose safety hazards The depth of water under the bridge limits the size of ships that can call at the Port to those having a draft of 30 feet or less And the vertical clearance of 1393 feet while not currently a problem will act as a constraint in the future restricting the size of ships serving the Port
In 1987 the Port of Brunswick created 584 fulltime jobs and generated approximately 538 million in revenues to firms providing services at the Port Of the total revenues 172 million was personal income earned by Georgia residents and 16 million was state and local taxes
International Auto Processing operates a facility on Colonels Island to prepare imported automobiles for dealer delivery Projections of 43000 cars by first yearend and 88000 the second year of operation were smashed by a count of 135000 vehicles under contracts before the end of the first operating year To accommodate the mounting number of automobiles arriving weekly at Colonels Island a second dock has been planned for construction during 1988
In July of last year GPAs leasepurchase of the Brunswick Port Authority began with assumed operation of the bulk facility now known as Lanier Dock
The other two GPA terminals in Brunswick East River Terminal and Mayors Point both saw increases in fiscal 1987 East River enjoyed a 379 increase in tonnage both containers and dry bulk while Mayors Point breakbulk activity increased to 170000 tons

ATLANTIC PORTS VIE FOR ASIAN BUSINESS
Charles PK Leon remembers shocking mainland Chinese by simply visiting them to drum up business for his employer the Georgia Ports Authority
But your neighboring port was just over here he recalls Chinese shipping officials telling him They alluded to a visit from another midAtlantic delegation
They were amazed that states compete with each other chuckles the 58yearold Mr Leon a native of Shanghai
The competition is real and serious with millions of dollars in business and thousands of jobs at stake in a port industry increasingly conscious of costs and technology
To let Asia know theres more to the United States than New York and Los Angeles midAtlantic states including Virginia Maryland South Carolina and Georgia have established Hong Kong offices and hired representatives like Mr Leon to sign up new business and pamper established Asian clients
They travel frequently through the region calling on shipping lines factory chiefs and government officials They always stress costs availability of rail and truck transport from their ports and quick turnaround times for oceangoing vessels
With Asia such a strong trading partner we are looking to have our fair share of its imports and exports said Don Allison regional director for the Maryland Port Administration in an interview with The Journal of Commerce
US imports from Asia far outweighed those from Western Europe in 1986 the last year for which full figures are available according to the US consulate here The total from the region was US 1412 billion against Europes US 898 billion
Mr Leon reckons Far East trade accounted for 65 of the total throughput of about 74 million tons last year at the Georgia ports which include Savannah and Brunswick
His counterparts speaking separately offer these approximate estimates of Asias contribution to their trade
25 of the 1986 throughput of 247 million tons at the port of Baltimore
33 of the 1986 throughput of 5 million tons at the port of Charleston SC
23 of JanuaryOctober 1987 general cargo throughput of 42 million tons at Hampton Roads Va

Georgia Ports Authority operates overseas Trade Development offices in Hong Kong as well as in Tokyo Seoul Athens and Oslo
Most business these days comes from Taiwan South Korea Hong Kong and Japan but healthy growth potential is seen for China which is pursuing economic modernization and Thailand which is growing as an industrial power
The ports are willing to spend heavily to attract and retain business
Maryland expects to lay out US 400 million for the period 198590 to upgrade and promote its port Mr Allison says In comparison it spent US 750 million for such purposes in the 28 years between 1956 and 1984
Says Frank Lo regional director of marketing for the Virginia Port Authority All the money the port makes is thrown back into developing the port
The investment is required because customers have become less tolerant of delays labor problems and high costs
Shipping lines are becoming very important in deciding through what port a shipment goes Mr Allison says
explaining that lines are taking more responsibility for cargo pickup and delivery factory door to factory door
In the past shippers and consignees had to arrange each leg of a cargos journey and came to expect delays shipping lines are less patient
They count container liftings per hour and compare it to other ports they rate your performance says Thomas E Lloyd a 53yearold Briton who is Far East general manager for the South Carolina State Ports Authority
The job may be tough but the rewards are worthwhile
Virginias Mr Lo for instance bubbles when he tells how Hampton Roads beat out Philadelphia and Baltimore to handle 422 locomotives worth US 500 million for China from a General Electric Co plant in Erie Pa which is closer to his competitors
We were more competitive cooperative and offered better rates Mr Lo says It was tough competition and the losers really ate their hearts out

PERSPECTIVE
The longterm commitment and strategic planning in export sales by Union Camp culminated recently in the recommendation of their achievements as a recipient of the Presidential E Award Union Camp officials listened when Europeans and Asians spoke Their experience with American exports through the years has been a frustrating one due to lack of commitment of American companies to the international market place The Presidential E Award is presented to American companies who have demonstrated their commitment of global strategies selling their products as a primary goal Accepting the award from President Ronald Reagan was Union Camp Chairman and CEO Gene Cartledge also on hand for the White House ceremonies was Vice Chairman and Savannah Complex Resident Manager Jim Piette
Union Camp was one of the early recipients of the E Award receiving its first recognition back in 1964 The E Star presentation to Union Camp recognizes onehalf billion dollars in export sales during a threeyear period 198386
Union Camp has entered a new era in its corporate history through its achievements in international trade by joining a new breed of American traders evolving in response to challenges from their competitors throughout the world
A wellmanaged and a wellrun company obviously searching for greater opportunities in the international market place they announced a 375 million restructuring of their Savannah plant with a substantial portion of its new production dedicated to a growing list of international customers
We commend you Union Camp and pledge our continued support through parallel port growth and improvement in port technology

Second Quarter 1988
When Union Carbide Corporation began cleaning house to streamline its complicated transportation logistics sector one crucial decision to be made was in the consolidation of the companys highvalue breakbulk exports
his spring Carbide officials announced that Savannah had been chosen over several east coast ports including longtime Carbide ports New York Richmond and Hampton Roads as a consolidation and export point for about 40 million pounds of industrial chemicals per year These chemicals including silicones drummed chemicals and resins from Union Carbides plants in Charleston and Sistersville WVa represent annual sales of about 100 million
Vincent Wilson senior managerliner services said that the factors which went into selecting the Port of Savannah included shipping facilities and onsite warehousing in one general area plus trucking ocean liners and local cartage readily available at a good price
Wilson a 37year veteran of Union Carbide was selected last September to head a Port Optimization Team charged with finding a more direct route for Carbide products to get from plant to overseas customers For many years shipments had been trucked from West Virginia to the New York port area at
premium prices because of the scarcity of backhaul cargo in a deregulated trucking enviroment And often the products would land in New Jersey warehouses before relabeling and shipping could occur Even though Carbide ranks among the top 20 US companies in the value of its exports these extra steps and high transportation costs were nibbling at the companys bottom line
Enter Robert G Stanley director of international transportation purchasing and services who is credited with the genesis of a company wide transportation logistics revolution Though the chemicals and plastics division of Union Carbide was targeted for streamlined transportation operations it is on the strength of his departments success that other Carbide divisions now follow and are guided in their transportation decisions by the same strategic plan
Union Carbides 40 million pounds of product to transit the Port of Savannah annually is comprised of silicones drummed chemicals and palletized resins

AnchorAge
Evolving from a companywide mission statement developed to instill new life into a company shaken in recent years by adversity the Magna Charta of Union Carbide said Stanley is shared with each employee of the company With its basic tenets of safety quality technology leadership customer focus and simplicity these core values were brought into play again and again in the process of formulating a new streamlined distribution network
We view Savannah as a major opportunity not to just be competitive but to win
Robert G Stanley
The company first looked at its suppliers and carriersthe number being utilized their service and safety records and price Carbide then began to forge partnerships with the ones they wished to continue doing business with The partnership concept while not involving cost sharing or profits does relate to service expectations and giving the supplier ample time to plan his operation around the needs of Union Carbide shipments
As long as our suppliers meet specific performance standards in such areas as safety accuracy of documentation ontime departures and arrivals equipment condition and responsiveness to problems they know they can count on our business says Stanley
The overall control now being exercised over Carbides shipments as a result of the new transportation criteria and objectives is saving the company an approximate 900000 per year Savannahs attributes came to the attention of Wilson as his team looked at the flow of port shipments It was important to find a location which offered the advantages of efficient handling and consolidation services for a variety of breakbulk products
Additionally the Port of Savannah offered a lineup of regularly scheduled ocean carriers previously targeted to handle Union Carbides shipments to Europe the Far and Middle East Africa Australia New Zealand and South America With 80 of its breakbulk export business committed to Savannah and over 65 million spent annually on international freight the decision to relo
cate operations to Savannah was one of gravity for the companys Port Optimization Team
Another factor which figured significantly in Union Carbides selection was the commitment to EDI Electronic Data Interchange which has been made by Savannah GPAs COBRA computer system long recognized as one of the most advanced port systems in the United States has also become one of the first to be enhanced by formatted twoway electronic communications Union Carbides criteria encompassed EDI capability and the company has in fact established EDI connections with all of its major foreign customers and suppliers
With Union Carbide cargo arriving daily at the Port of Savannah the LTL shipments move directly into Container Frieght Station 2 at Garden City where it is logged in and accounted for via EDI
Port Optimization Team Leader Vinnie Wilson Partnership was the catalyst that made this project come Working together with GPA from the planning stages ensured a smooth transition
Carbides Bob Stanley To be leaders of change we knew we had to incorporate quality planning and integrity into our organization involve our people in the process and take risks
link Carbide in turn issues computerized shipping orders for the cargo which may be to stuff into containers for shipment deliver to the dock for direct loading aboard a specified vessel or direct pickup by local truck line for delivery to local customers Cargo is rarely warehoused for more than two days under this system
GPA executive director George Nichols sees this new partnership with Union Carbide as unique but hopefully a sign of the future Other shippers are examining Union Carbides systematic approach to the management of transportation very closely and we see a definite trend towards this type of streamlining He continued Union Carbide has long been a customer of Georgia Ports Authority and chemicals have always been a star performer among US exports We plan to enjoy a long and fruitful partnership with the Union Carbide Corporation
Founded in 1917 with the merger of five small firms Danbury Connbased Union Carbide is now a 7 billion enterprise with 55000 employees and 450 facilities worldwide The worlds leading producer of carbon and graphite electrodes the largest maker of ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol and chemical solvents Union Carbide is also the largest domestic producer of industrial gases and the technological leader in the manufacture of polyethylene

Too often vital things are taken for granted It is easy to overlook the importance of kaolin a versatile fine textured white mineral used in the production of rubber goods ceramics inks foods insecticides cosmetics and even the glossy surface of this page Kaolin is an essential part of Georgias people and her economy
Kaolin is an aluminasilicate found in a 240mile fall line which stretches between Aiken SC and Eufala Ala The deposit began to form 5090 million years ago as rushing streams carried silicate crystals such as feldspar mica and quartz toward the geological fall line where the Georgia Piedmont once met the Atlantic Ocean As the coastal plain emerged and the ocean receded kaolin deposits were left about 150 miles inland and about 300400 feet above sea level
The classifying action of the streams particle aggregation brought on by the oceans salinity and the uninterrupted accumulation of the silicates are thought to have contributed to the extensiveness and the purity of Georgias kaolin deposits
The term kaolin is derived from the Chinese word kaoling which means high ridge and is the name of a hill in Jauchau China where the clay was mined more than
3000 years ago The Chinese used kaolin to make porcelain pottery After inventing paper the Chinese were the first to use kaolin as a paper coating more than 1200 years ago
Georgias kaolin contributed to the fine china industry in England during the 17th and 18th centuries Kaolin exports from Georgia waned in the 19th century as England began to develop its own deposits American ceramics and paper industries revived the kaolin industry as they turned to Georgia for a grade of kaolin which
Kaolin clay moves in many forms through GPA facilities In addition to the palletized breakbulk mode pictured here the clay moves in oneton supersacks in liquid slurry form in containers and in dry bulk form
provided more elasticity and stability than the clays mined in New England and the Midwest
Since 1978 the kaolin industry has shown steady growth Georgia produced a record 5627 million worth of kaolin in 1984 during a world recession Production plunged slightly in 1985 as the value of the US dollar fluctuated but the industry has endured One companys faith in the kaolin industry manifests itself in its commitment to improving its facilities to better serve their customers

automation of the Huber beneficiating plant in an effort to increase productivity and capacity by improving clay classification methods The announcement was made in conjunction with the divisions 50th anniversary

Though automation tends to lead to insecurity in the workplace Gary Cooper Hubers community relations administrator says that Huber plans to train its employees in the use of the new equipment because they are the very essence of the company
The Huber philosophy is that the people who work here are what make the business what it is Cooper said
With exports to Europe Korea Japan Indonesia Taiwan and South America Huber ships its product in bulk form on hopper cars in trucks in 50pound bags in boxcars and in liquid slurry form The versatility of kaolin makes it easy to transport in many forms and to process to meet the specific needs of the customer
Beneficiation refers to the refinement of kaolin for specific use Before the 1920s kaolin was simply mined dried crushed and moved via truck or train to domestic customers or to ships Today kaolin in slurry form is separated into large and small particles through centrifugal classification Hubers beneficiating processes include ozonization which attacks organic matter
JM Hubers plans to invest 100 million in its kaolin mining and beneficiating facilities were announced recently by lr chairman Michael Huber Rep J Roy Rowland and Clay Division vice president Jacob J Ferro

within the clay leaching which improves the brightness of the clay and magnetic separation which removes impurities by straining the clay through a magnetized material similar to steel wool
The Georgia Surface Mining Act of 1968 requires that for each acre mined an acre be reclaimed and restored to productive use From 1980 to 1983 24 million a year was spent on land reclamation averaging 2148 spent per acre
During that period Georgias 25 active kaolin mines produced more than 6 million worth of kaolin Kaolin production accounts for more than half of the total minerals produced in the state Huber is one of 18 kaolin companies in Georgia
According to Richard Van Buren director of marketing at Huber the Port of Savannah complements the services offered by Huber
The Georgia Ports Authority has effectively become an extension of Hubers
customer service staff The Authority plays an essential role in the delivery of Huber products to our overseas markets Van Buren said adding that Port of Savannahs versatility is important to the shipment of such a versatile product
Much of the middle Georgia land mined by JM Huber has been reclaimed and restored to prime hunting acreage

88 EXPO BIGGEST EVER
increase in attendance by shippers plus an expanded allunderoneroof exhibiting arrangement
In planning for 1989s Expo set for June 1315 in Atlanta Welch has already reserved two exhibit halls just to accommodate reservations weve already taken for next year Almost immediately
Focus on Three Ps Intermodal Integration International
Besides serving as showcase for a world of companies equipment and services supplying the burgeoning intermodal industry this years International Intermodal Expo took on a carefully crafted international tone for 1988 buoyed by a large contingent of European participants
The annual Atlanta extravaganza
coordinated by the ebullient showman Nat Welch boasted an alltime high attendance record of 2788 participants an increase of 17 percent over last years Expo and filled more than six downtown hotels 195 exhibitors included 38 foreign exhibitors up by 27 from 1987s figure The decidedly international mix was complimented by an
following this years Expo Welch departed for Europe to ensure that next years European connection would be at least as strong as this years and late this summer Welch will be visiting the Far East to try and enlist Expo support from Pacific Rim countries
With the evolution of the International Intermodal Expo from a 1984 piggyback show designed to focus on Atlantas transportation capabilities to its current status as the worlds most prestigious forum for intermodalism this years agenda brought chief executives from the nations major railroad systems and integrated companies as well as from international shippers seaports and airports
One panel discussion Intermodal Benefits Shippers featured rail heavyweights Denman McNear chairman and CEO of Southern Pacific Transportation Company R E Lawless president and CEO of Canadian National Railways and Burlington Northern president and CEO Darius Gaskins along with the president of newlyformed CSXSeaLand Intermodal McNeil Porter
While each took the opportunity to position his company as a leader in the intermodal arena each also allowed valuable insights into the way business is being conducted in various parts of North America
Denman McNear of Southern Pacific as did several speakers during the course of the week spoke of the importance of Electronic Data Interchange to the development of Southern Pacifics ICTF Intermodal Container Transfer Facility in California and to the entire intermodal industry At ICTF EDI helps to quickly transfer containers from ships to Chicago New York and Atlanta
Service factors and an ongoing emphasis on doublestack technology are two other factors McNear feels put SP in the forefront of rail carriers Its clear that doublestacked containers have given us greater revenue
Expanded indoor and outdoor exhibit space was another plus for this years intermodal event

density train length better fuel efficiencies less tare weight less capital and maintenance costs because of articulated design requiring fewer wheels and most encouraging improved labor productivity
To McNear the most exciting development in intermodal equipment since the doublestack car is the new 48foot container The larger container capacity is a key in penetrating shorthaul markets where we have to provide a transportation product that is comparable to direct truck said McNear
And on the future of rail and intermodal connections The role of rail carriers I believe will evolve into one of enhanced wholesaling with a goal of eliminating artificial barriers between rail carriers so that the service appears as a single system The apparent beneficiaries would be those parties with a total view of this network the volume shippers and ocean carriers
CSXSeaLands Porter described intermodal as empowering the customer by giving a range of choices allowing shippers to control rather than be controlled by the distribution function of their business But talking about the array of choices to offer shippers and combining and managing these options in a way that makes sense to the customer is quite a different thing
If intermodal is going to deliver all of its potential benefits to shippers then suppliers of international transportation need to focus exclusively on intermodalism said Porter We are not a railroad We are not a steamship line But we are building on the strengths of our predecessor companies as we establish our own identity
The formation of CSXSeaLand Intermodal said Porter was a direct response to current market trends With the independence to decide which carriers and which routes to use decisions can be made quickly Porter continued And to make sure that CSXSeaLand remains an innovator in the intermodal marketplace the company is making heavy investments in new technology to expand their information services along with the development of third party partnerships
Partnerships of another type were discussed by Canadian National Railways Lawless who devoted most of his panel time to international trade between Canada and the United States to be enhanced by the possible signing of the free trade agreement
With bilateral trade valued at 190 billion the largest trading partner of the United States is not Japan but Canada noted Lawless By being each others largest market many of our key industries such as automobiles steel aerospace and plastics are already highly integrated
I believe freer trade between Canada and the United States is a natural way to build a stronger North American economy It also sends an important message to the rest of
Participants in the Expo panel entitled Intermodal Benefits Shippers included lr Darius W Gaskins Jr president and CEO Burlington Northern Railroad R E Lawless president and CEO Canadian National Railways McNeil Porter president CSXSeaLand Intermodal Denman McNear chairman and CEO Southern Pacific Transportation Company and Daniel ONeal who served as session moderator
Canadian concern that the new National Transportation Act grants only limited freedom to rationalize transportation networks making the competitive environment very uneven across the border Several US consolidated rail systems are now in the range of CNs 22000 miles of track but with almost 50 per cent higher traffic density those tracks are more productive than ours said Lawless
But even though the free trade agreement does not encompass transportation Canada has already begun to reduce barriers to the entry of American truckers to the Canadian market Canadian carriers in both highway and rail modes are being challenged by the competition with Canadian shippers the beneficiaries
Lawless ended We have the opportunity to demonstrate to the rest of the world that in North America we are not in retreat and not afraid of competition and to show how good neighbors can make each other stronger through free trade
the world at a time when rising protectionism threatens to severely damage world trade stated Lawless
Lawless called for the development of very clear trade rules and the establishment of an objective bilateral forum for settling disputes which arise from trade tariffs and other barriers He said that Canadian manufacturers are generally in favor of the agreement despite the challenge of American competition it represents and in the transportation industry the agreement will force both parties to pay more attention to the quality of connections across the border
Speaking to regulation Lawless voiced a

MARSEILLES WINS US FRIENDS
Timed to coincide with a wellplanned trip to the International Intermodal Expo in Atlanta representatives from the French port of Marseilles traveled to Savannah this spring to meet with potential port users and members of the maritime community
At a reception hosted by the fourmember delegation commercial director YannPierre Remond characterized Marseilles and her sister port FosSurMer as 26 centuries strong and ready for the future
Established in 600 BC the town was originally named Massalia with Greek and Roman ports located on the Lacydon inlet By the seventeenth century the southern bank of the Lacydon had been developed and a thriving waterborne economy was established Many of the docks still in use in the Eastern Harbour area of Marseilles were originally constructed over 100 years ago
In the socalled Western Harbour area which encompasses Fos an intensive industrial development program has been in place since 1965 A network of dedicateduse docks for commodities ranging from automobiles to lumber to bulk products coupled with a canal linking the Gulf of Fos with the Rhone River have made Fos a center of industry and shipping for southern Europe
The Port of Marseilles Authority is a public state entity which builds manages and promotes port facilities in Marseilles Lavera Caronte Fos and PortSaintLouisduRhone in addition to the industrial zones of Fos and Lavera The Board defines the overall policy of the Authority and the Port Director executes Board decisions with the assistance of a 2000person staff
MarseillesFos as the two seaports are commonly called is located at the crossroads of the northsouth links to the Rhone and Saone valleys and eastwest to Italy and Spain Seaward the Mediterranean is a gateway to all points of the globe including the Far East via the Suez Canal The port serves as Europes natural outlet south to Africa
Transportation infrastructure includes superior roadways whereby cargo can reach MarseillesFos by RoRo Channel landbridge from the British Isles within 36 hours and directly from Germany Switzerland Italy Northern and Eastern Europe is less than 24 hours The completion of the Eurotunnel in 1993 promises to be a boon to the port as well with cargo
The modem terminals at Fos top and Marseilles bottom can accommodate the worlds largest container vessels
traveling by truck and train speeding under the English channel in record time
Railways connect MarseillesFos to all Europes major cities with full block trains in less than 24 hours Frances superior inland waterway system offers

MarseillesFos traffic figures reached 98 million tons in 1986 making it the leading port in France and the Mediterranean Apart from traffic with North and West Africa the port has greatly increased trade with highly industrialized countries in the Far East Near East Australia North America and the Middle East
Marseilles also remains an important port for passengers from all over Europe who travel on cruise ships or ferry to Corsica and North Africa with their automobiles In all 1200000 passengers and 340000 cars transit the Port each year
Utilizing the resources of a natural deep harbor without fog tides or currents the Port of Marseilles boasts a total of 164

Mr Remond noted to his Savannah audience that 14 container lines alone serve the US east coast from MarseillesFos with 360 departures per year He also mentioned a vast untapped European market for containerized forest products needed at pulp and paper plants in Marseilles hinterland Now receiving forest products from Scandinavian countries and Canada in breakbulk form Mr Remond encouraged shippers of southern US timber to investigate this export opportunity

SCM GLIDCO ANNOUNCES EXPANSION
i
SCM Glidco Organics Corporation has begun construction of a 1 million expansion of its Colonels Island facility in Brunswick Ga The expansion is expected to increase the production of geraniol a key chemical used in the production of fragrances and flavorings by y about one million lbs
The Colonels Island facility using Glidco technology is the only facility in the world capable of producing geraniol from alpha pinene the prime component of crude turpentine SCM Glidco uses geraniol a rosescented chemical as a base for flavorings and fragrances Another key chemical linalool is used not only as a fragrance but also as a vitamin intermediate Both chemicals are sent to the corporations Jacksonville Florida plant for further processing
Phase one of the expansion which will include the addition of a new distillation tower is due to be complete and on line in October of 1988
In 1978 Londonbased Hanson PLC purchased SCM Glidco a wholly owned subsidiary SCM Glidco is the worlds leading producer of fragrance and flavor chemicals producing more than 70 million worth of products per year The expansion is a move to increase the companys product yield by an anticipated five percent without increasing the amount of raw materials used
George W Robbins president of SCM Glidco sees the expansion as an opportunity to improve the companys overall competitiveness
The 1 million we spend now will assure a more secure position for our business as we continue to grow Robbins said

SCM Glidco first broke ground for its Brunswick plant in 1978 and opened the facility in 1982 It was the first corporation to build a plant on GPAowned Colonels Island
At the Brunswick plant crude sulfate turpentine is refined into alpha and beta pinene and then sent to Jacksonville Brunswick receives back refined alpha pinene and processes it into geraniol and linalool both of which are sent back to Jacksonville for further processing and sale SCM Glidco exports 60 percent of its products refined from alpha pinene to Europe Japan Latin America the Soviet Union China and other Far Eastern countries
The fragrance division manufactures the bulk of SCM Glidcos products Some are sold to the perfume industry but the majority of the chemicals are used in more commonplace applications such as detergents soaps and other household chemicals
SCM Glidcos flavor chemicals including spearmint peppermint lemon lime and cinnamon are used in gum candy toothpaste and other personal care products
The SCM Glidco facility on Colonels Island and its employees contribute annually more than 2 million in payroll taxes and purchased goods and services to the Glynn County economy The plant itself contributes 18 million each year in purchased utilities to the Glynn County and Georgia economies
The corporations plants in Brunswick and Jacksonville are valued at approximately 300 million and employ more than 200 people The expansion which is to be implemented in four phases is expected to increase the number of SCM Glidco employees by about 35

Maritime Week Celebrated in Savannah Brunswick
The week surrounding National Maritime Day May 22 is always met with enthusiasm by Savannah maritime enclaves but for the first time there was celebration at the port of Brunswick as well
At Brunswick a luncheon was held aboard the Anastas is a nonprofit international medical relief ship which was docked at GPAs Mayors Point terminal during the month of May see Ship of Mercy page 31
To publicize Brunswicks emergence of late as a world class port contender several sponsoring organizations including the Georgia Ports Authority ILA local 1463 International Auto Processing Marine Port Terminals and CCC of Georgia pooled their resources to organize the event
As part of the luncheon program State Representative Virginia Ramsey presented the Anastasis with its own Georgia state flag and Mayor Paul Warwick presented the crew with a key to the city although youll never need it because our city will always be open to you said Warwick
As keynote speaker GPA executive director George Nichols highlighted port activity and portrelated industries which have contributed significantly to the economic growth of Brunswick and Glynn County Nichols singled out International Auto Processing BMWs vehicle preparation center and SCMGlidcos plant expansion on Colonels Island plus Marine Port Terminals and Mid South Feeds at East River Further the purchase of the Brunswick Port Authority and the construction of a second dock at Colonels Island will add 12 million to the states investment in the Port of Brunswick

US MERCHANT FLEET AT A DISADVANTAGE
By Jennifer Lin Yeh
The United States of America has grown from a few small fledgling settlements of colonists into the greatest nation in the world American shipping and its related industries played a major role in the building of this great country and in making it into the foremost trading force of all times
Today more than ever before the United States striving to improve her economy and to increase her exports needs a viable Merchant Marine We cannot afford any further decline of our maritime industry an industry indispensable to this nations trade and commerce Although there are many obstacles to overcome our Merchant Marine fleet can regain its rightful place upon the seas and in the worlds ports The Congress designated officials industry and the American people must begin working immediately to understand and rectify existing maritime problems
Currently our countrys fleet of peacetime commercial ships finds itself facing the fiercest and often the most unfair competition since the days of the Great Depression The Foreign flag competition frequently stateowned or highly subsidized is able to underbid their competition by 40 percent or more In the last two decades Russia has doubled her

number of cargo and cruise ships During the same period the United States has either sold or scrapped 75 percent of her ships
The Soviets are able to undercut the shipping of other maritime countries because of their subsidies their cheap domestic oil used to fuel their ships and the low wages paid to their sailors The Soviet Union uses trade as a political weapon In 1984 their shipping industry brought in more than two billion dollars of foreign currency The Soviet Union realizes the importance of her fleet to the national economy as well as to her military preparedness Ships flying the Hammer and Sickle are becoming more and more visible in the ports of many maritime nations According to tonnage Russia has become the sixth largest shipping force in the world while the United States has slipped to eighth place
Our leaders give us a somewhat optimistic view of improved trading relation with other world markets Most Americans realize that improved trade is necessary for the survival of our country
With the foreign trade deficit showing some decline we must have a strong and active Merchant Marine ready to carry our products to any port in the world
Developing nations also play a key role in the maritime competition by the rapid expansion of their fleets Although they have many fine ships and crews at times to lower operating costs these countries resort to using antiquated ships crewed by poorly trained sailors and officers often surviving in inhumane conditions More recently these nations have taken a large bite out of our shipbuilding industry The extremely low wage scale of these countries allows them to undercut our shipbuilders
Traditionally our welltrained merchant mariners manning our modern cargo ships tankers and lines have been one of our greatest national assets Ameri

can merchant seamen delivering American goods to foreign ports and returning with raw material to keep our industries functioning are just as important to this country as maintaining a strong national defense Although the competition is unfair we must not waste time grieving over the unchangeable Our Merchant Marine must continue working with Congress and industry to find a means of delivering reliable services for a fair price
The citizens of the United States need to be made aware of the importance of maintaining and promoting our Merchant Marine fleet They in turn should relay this message to their congressmen The public must be made to realize that it is the safest and by far the most dependable way to ship our waterborne commerce By depending on foreign fleets this powerful nation could find herself suffering from shipping shortages as well as highly inflated shipping rates If we are confronted with an international conflict we have no guarantee that the loyalty of the foreign fleet will be with the United States Some Americans argue that as long as these fleets are able to make a profit they will be reliable carriers of our peacetime commerce however if a crisis arises the decisions will not be made by the foreign fleet operators but by their governments
This lack of shipping capacity in the foreseeable future could bring our industries to a standstill as well as hamper our readiness to transport muchneeded supplies to our troops in time of hostilities We must have the foresight to keep our American Merchant Marine intact so that our wheels of industry will never fall prey to the whim of some foreign power
Our United States flag carriers find themselves being discriminated against in overseas operations This unfair treatment is especially true in countries in the Far East such as China South Korea Japan and Taiwan These countries place
unjust restrictions on our ships in their ports an action which causes unnecessary delays and impedes the efficiency of our dedicated crews Our maritime officials are sending a strong message to these countries that these barriers encountered by our carriers must be removed if these countries want to insure retention of their free and open access to US ports and trade Hopefully this time we will demand our rights The removal of these barriers will allow our fleets to operate more efficiently lower our shipping costs and make us more competitive in the maritime world
The American Merchant Marine quickly felt the sharp blow of the ax of President Reagans administration As early as 1981 Reagan while honoring the previous Operating Differential Subsidy declared that no new applications for subsidies would be honored These defense planners are funding the United States Navy in building a Ready Reserve Fleet to offset the decline of our merchant fleet Would it not be more cost effective to maintain and improve our existing merchant fleet Taxpayers need to be informed of the expense of replacing our United States Merchant Marine by a governmentowned and operated sealift Our administration should reconsider the employment income and balance of payments that can be produced by its support of our maritime industry This consideration may lead to changes in the future which will encourage young people to seek seafaring jobs The desire of these capable young people to work for the Merchant Marine is vital to our peacetime commerce as well as our military sealift capacity
When the Reagan Administration decided hastily to reflag the Kuwaiti tankers in the Persian Gulf little or no consideration was given to the American Merchant Marine The reflagging took place to enable the Kuwaiti and other

neutral ships to move oil through the Persian Gulf without being attacked or intimidated by Iran Some leaders believe that the primary reason for reflagging was to deter any further involvement by Russia in the Persian Gulf The Soviets are helping Kuwait by allowing them to charter Sovietowned flagged and crewed vessels for its transport needs The Russians were reimbursed for their chartered ships while the United States allowed Kuwait to use our flag and many American taxpayers were left with the bill This plan forfeited many seafaring jobs which rightfully should have belonged to our American Merchant Marine Regrettably this act made our US flag into a flag of convenience as well as a foreign policy tool
With the optimistic outlook for improved trade relations and a slight reduction of the trade deficit hopefully United States products will once again become competitive in the world markets The United States working with her industry should strive to produce quality products at competitive prices When these products are ready to be shipped the American maritime industry must be ready to set sail
America the time to regenerate all aspects of our maritime industry is now Any further delay in revitalization can only be detrimental to the nations economy and possibly disastrous to our national defense In 1978 Robert J Blackwell Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Maritime affairs speaking in San Diego on subsidies afforded other maritime nations said
They are coming to grips with the realization that their maritime industries are vital cogs in the machinery of their national economics They are aware that when the wind leaves the sails of their merchant fleets the impact is felt not just in the ports but also in the hinterlands

Panama Canal and twelve days at sea to Papeete Aukland Melbourne and Sydney then the far east ports of Busan Taiwan Hong Kong and Singapore The vessels than return through the Suez Canal to Europe

The MV Anastasis shown docked at GPAs Mayors Point remained in Brunswick for one month taking on relief cargo supplies and volunteers for her next mission
Mayors Point Terminal in Brunswick recently played host to the Anastasis an unusual ship with a cargo of hope for the worlds poor
Mercy Ships part of an interdenominational worldwide organization Youth With A Mission owns and operates two ships which transport relief goods medical attention and spiritual hope around the world
Their crews representing over 30 countries incorporate a full spectrum of professional and technical skills all unsalaried and working as volunteers Doctors nurses engineers technicians secretaries and crew are supported by donations from churches mission boards friends and family
With living quarters for 476 crew members and a cargo capacity of 3000 tons for food clothing medical supplies and other basic necessities the MV Anastasis contains sophisticated medical and dental units where even delicate operations and procedures can be performed Field units can be mobilized to bring specialized surgeries and general health care to those who may be unable to get it any other way
The lounge and dining areas of the converted passenger ship allow the Anastasis to accommodate conferences and seminars aboard ship increasing the ships potential as a mobile training center for students on board as well as a meeting place for different groups while the ship is in port
The Brunswick maritime community was given the opportunity to board the Anastasis and see first hand the work being carried out by the Youth With A Mission ministry when the first annual Maritime Day luncheon was held in Brunswick aboard the ship
The Anastasis remained at the GPAdonated berth at Mayors Point for one month while taking on relief cargo supplies and volunteers Brunswick churches and community groups collected and
donated supplies to the ship during its stay and MAP International a Brunswickbased relief cargo organization also lent their assistance to the operation Were constantly moving between the wealthy and the poor between first and third world countries We work until the supplies are gone and then we come back to raise more says Simonne McCluskey assistant to the MV Anastasis director Adds Don Stephens president of Mercy Ships North Americans have enough stored in their garages to fill our cargo holds many times over which would make a significant difference in the quality of life of the rest of the world
The Anastasis at 522 feet long and 11695 tons has rendered assistance in
Greece Malta Guatemala New Zealand islands of the South Pacific Mexico Canada and the United States Her sister ship the Samaritan emulates the Anastasis in relief assistance training and evangelism but concentrates on smaller ports where her sister ship cannot travel
Says Dr Christine Aroney Chief Medical Officer of the Anastasis Its very rewarding to help people whose need is so great The longer youre out doing this kind of work the more you see of what people in the third world countries go through just to survive and the most difficult it becomes to go back and enjoy the wealth of your own country It would be difficult to go back to treating coughs and colds

Thus far 1988 has seen the
announcement of Union Camps 375 million restructuring of its Savannah pulp and paper manufacturing operations When completed in 1991 the program will provide the company with one of the industrys most efficient and cost effective linerboard and paper mills
Another major announcement for the company came in May when it was awarded the prestigious E STAR President Ronald Reagan presented Union Camp with the US Department of Commerces coveted award in recognition of outstanding contributions to the increase of US trade abroad Union Camp chairman and CEO Gene Cartledge accepted the honor at the White House on May 23 Vice chairman and Savannah Complex resident manager Jim Piette was also on hand
While four E STAR awards were presented at the Rose Garden ceremony that kicked off World Trade Week Union Camp and an Ohio based rubber company were the only private companies to earn the award
Union Camp was a 1964 recipient of the E award presented by President Lyndon B Johnson The E award is a prerequisite for winning the E STAR which is limited to a very select group of exporters or support organizations who have previously earned the E award and have significantly increased their volume of exports since winning that honor
The presentation of the E STAR to Union Camp recognizes the almost half a billion dollars in export sales that the company had during the period 1983 through 1986 The majority of this export activity was generated by the Savannah compex and shipped through the Port of Savannah Pulp and paper linerboard saturating kraft UNISAT lumber and chemical products are the companys major exports
The designation of Union Camp as an E STAR recipient is an honor not only to our company but for our employees Cartledge said In addition we are fortunate to be dealing with the Georgia Ports Authority and its outstanding Savannah Port operation which handles the bulk of our export volume
Efforts for Union Camp to earn the
E STAR were coordinated by the Savannah district office of the Department of Commerce and the Savannah District Export Council
The significant impact of Union Camp as an exporter makes them very deserving recipients of this honor said James W Mclntire director of the district office for the Department of Commerce The Savannah Port depends heavily on the export of forest products and Union Camp is a major segment of that business
Currently Union Camps Savannah operation exports more than 300000 tons per year tpy of paper products primarily linerboard and saturating kraft to over 50 countries Europe is the biggest importer for Union Camp while the Far East is a rapidly growing market for the companys exports
For its export markets the Savannah operation ships about 45 percent of its products in bulk and the other 55 percent in containers Union Camp pioneered the use of containerized shipments of linerboard to Europe and the Far East At present the company is a high volume customer of American flag container carriers The company uses many shipping lines for its bulk and container shipments among them

Cartledge noted that Union Camp continues to enjoy expanding export business Export sales were up 18 percent in 1987 over the previous year and our 1988 offshore business remains very strong he said Along with linerboard a primary growth item for the companys exports in 1986 was UNISAT
A 375 million restructuring of Union Camps Savannah mill will further increase the companys exports
The restructuring program is called the PDQ Project Productivity Dependability Quality and is a mammoth undertaking
Major elements of PDQ include a new
460000 tpy linerboard machine thorough modernization of the mills pulping facilities and a shutdown of two older less efficient paper machines The plan also brings the mill into full compliance with pending Georgia regulations governing pulp mill odor emissions
Stating the benefits of PDQ Cartledge said the Savannah mill program reduces direct manufacturing costs 12 percent across the entire mill Total mill output will increase by about ten percent This increase will further improve the companys
export capacity The plan will also further improve the quality of our products and give the mill greater flexibility to respond to future market conditions he added
When the project is complete we will have eliminated 95 percent of the emissions of the mills sulfur odor and will ensure that the mill will be an economically viable contributor to the local economy well into the next century he noted
Cartledge cited Savannah mill employees for their unselfish efforts in support of the development of the plan Most significant was their agreement to an extended labor contract which provides stability and demonstrates their longterm commitment to Union Camp and the Savannah complex he said
The new 363inch linerboard machine will produce lightweight grades which are good for export and domestic markets The machine will be installed in a new building on the east side of the complex and adjacent to a storage area which will improve shipment loading
Another component of PDQ is the replacement of six older pulping lines with a single large efficient fine This improvement will provide the mill with one of the highest

quality pulp sources in the paper industry significantly reduce pulp wood energy and labor costs and also reduce odor emissions
Presently the pulping area is a primary source of odor In the pulp mill wood chips are cooked under pressure in a chemical mixture including sulfur compounds When steam is released from the cooking process the sulfur odor is emitted
Also improving the odor emissions will be the installation of a new lime kiln and upgrading of the chemical preparation area This system which regenerates chemicals used in the pulping process will replace old equipment with low energy low maintenance facilities and significantly reduce sulfur odor emissions from the lime burning operation
The company has begun engineering and purchasing for the PDQ Project and will start construction later this year The new capacity will be brought on line in 1991
Much of the 375 million for the plan will be spent locally At the height of the project more than 2000 construction workers are expected onsite
Upon completion of PDQ the Savannah complex will pay taxes estimated at 195 million per year in Georgia including 75 million in Chatham County In 1987
Union Camp paid 175 million in Georgia including 55 million in Chatham County taxes
Like all our capital spending programs Cartledge explained PDQ maintains Union Camps position as the industry leader in cost efficiency We believe this program coupled with the benefits of the current upgrade of our Montgomery Ala linerboard mill will give us the industrys most efficient system for producing high quality kraft paper and linerboard
Since originally built in 1935 for 4 million the Savannah complex has grown from a onemachine 150tonsperday paper mill to the largest facility of its kind in the world with seven paper machines averaging one million tons of annual production
In addition to the pulp and paper mill the complex includes a box plant bag plant and a chemical manufacturing facility Also included are headquarters for the companys Kraft Paper and Board Woodlands
Building Products Environmental Affairs Branigar a land development subsidiary of Union Camp and Corporate Engineering Divisions
The company employs about 3800 Savannah area residents with an annual payroll of 124 million
From the paper mill output ranges from lightweight unbleached paper used to make paper bags to heavy duty linerboard for corrugated boxes One paper machine is dedicated to UNISAT a high quality saturating kraft which is the core material for plastic laminates used in kitchen and bath cabinets and countertops
Most of the mills production supplies the companys own packaging plants but about onethird of the output is sold on the open market to domestic and overseas customers
Tall oil and turpentine recovered from the pulping process are supplied to the Chemical Division for upgrading to higher value products The companys Savannah chemical plant for example refines tall oil recovered from the pulping

process The chemical operation then produces tall oil products such as fatty acids rosins resins and resinates
With the diversity and size of the Savannah complex operations Union Camp obviously has a strong interest in the area
Coupled with the 375 million PDQ Project and shared pride with the Georgia Ports Authority over the E STAR award that interest is growing stronger each day

Following the mornings festivities Propeller Club members were addressed during a luncheon program by Frank O Braynard curator of the US Merchant Marine Academy Museum at Kings Point New York and author of 28 books on a variety of maritime subjects
One of Braynards favorite subjects is the SS Savannah the first steampowered vessel to cross the Atlantic Ocean Leaving Savannah for Liverpool on May 221819 the date eventually chosen for National Maritime Day the ship and her captain Moses Rogers have been controversial subjects ever since
Mr Braynard challenged the Propeller Club to keep alive the memory of Captain Rogers whom he called a man of true vision Rogers while successful in designing and operating the 98foot long 80hp vessel was not able to make a financial success of the steamboat concept It was not until years later that world shipping would turn completely away from sails in favor of steam power and Rogers died penniless in South Carolina just two years after his historic ocean crossing

PERSPECTIVE
Another year draws to a close and once again we reflect on our progress and remember our friends and customers who provide the core of these accomplishments each year
FY 88 proved to be an alltime record deepwater tonnage year for the GPA with 7549426 tons of commerce crossing our State docks at Savannah and Brunswick Calendar year figures through September show CY 88 some eight per cent ahead of the previous year
In 1988 our cadre of full container steamship lines calling on Savannah moved to 23 lines providing 29 services to various trade areas of the world
The longawaited surge in exports from the ricochet effect of the falling dollar occurred in the past year generating exports throughout the USA The Ports of Georgia were no exception our containerized exports increased from 58 percent of the total in FY 87 to 65 percent of the total in FY 88
Exports via GPA will accelerate into the new year with
the 1988 announcement of Union Carbides choice of Savannah as their consolidation and export point for approximately 40 million pounds of industrial chemicals per year representing annual sales of about 100 million
1988 was another record year for our Port operations in Brunswick and another year for the Port of Brunswick to boast the title of The Fastest Growing Port on the Atlantic Seaboard Two articles in this issue cover the phenomenal growth of the GPA in the BrunswickGlynn county area
As we lock up the type on this Fourth Quarter issue of the Georgia AnchorAge publication we wish our friends around the world a happy healthy and prosperous new year May the best of 88 be the worst of 89

Forming new Med service with Evergreen Costa
Evergreen containers aboard Costa Container Line ships is a familiar sight at Savannahs CONT AINERPORT With the addition of Italian Line containers the new MedAtlantic service hopes to capture 35 of the trade
Italia di Navigazione Italian Line has joined with Evergreen Marine Corporation and Contship Containerlines LtdCosta to establish a slot charter agreement for the creation of MedAtlantic a container service between the US east coast and ports in the Mediterranean
The new agreement will replace the one introduced by Evergreen and Costa earlier this year see Georgia AnchorAge 2nd Quarter 1988 The three lines will retain their separate marketing functions with no change to their respective agency representation New Yorkbased Container Ship Agency plans to open a new office to represent Italian Line in Savannah Leroy Smith formerly of Carolina Shipping in Savannah will manage the office assisted by Terry Stafford At press time plans were to open on December 15th
The new MedAtlantic service will begin
with the utilization of four 1800TEU Evergreen L Class vessels In mid1989 two Evergreen vessels will be shifted out to be replaced with two 2224TEU Italian Line newbuilds almost doubling the former capacity carried by Evergreen and Costa vessels in the service Costas Columbo will be phased out of the service once the Italian Line vessels are in place
Weekly calls are scheduled at North American ports of Halifax New York and Norfolk with Savannah as last out port before sailing to Valencia Fos and Leghorn in the Mediterranean Italian Line Owners Representative Vic Terranova said his company feels very positive about the new venture
The combination of carriers is a very good one he said Through a slot chartering agreement all the lines can maintain a high level of service with fewer
and better vessels The two new Italian Line vessels are being built at Monfalcone Italy near Venice Terranova reports and will enter service around May or June of 1989 Evergreen Costa and Italian Line will account for about 35 of the total market in the North American east coastMediterranean trade
Italia di Navigazione is a company of the stateowned FinmareIri Group Established in 1881 it now offers diversified liner service from Mediterranean ports to the US Canada Central and South America all operated on a partnership basis with other lines A fleet renewal program is underway at Italian Line with six new vessels scheduled to enter into service before 1991 The company currently utilizes seven owned and three chartered vessels in its various service agreements

NIPPON LINER SYSTEM LTD CREATED
The recent merger of two of Japans largest steamship lines has resulted in the creation of a new corporation and left industry experts wondering whos next
YamashitaShinnihon Line YS Line and Japan Line officially became Nippon Liner System Ltd on October 1st after months of negotiations The new company will take over all liner services previously operated by YS and Japan Line Tanker and tramp services of both lines will continue to be operated by each company
Following heavy losses during 1986 and 1987 the Shipping and Shipbuilding Rationalization Council a government advisory board had urged the big six Japanese flag carriers to merge into two or three groups in the next five years Of the remaining carriers Showa Line has dropped out of liner service leaving NYK Line Mitsui OSK Line and K Line
Nippon Liner System NLS will take the place of YS Line in the slot charter agreement with NYK and Mitsui for all water service from the Far East to the US east coast Of the six vessels providing calls every ten days from Savannah to Hong Kong Taiwan and Japan the Yamataka Maru will be the NLS contribution
On transPacific routes Nippon Liner will operate 15 vessels in consortium with OOCL and Neptune Orient a slot formerly occupied by YS Line Earlier this year Japan Line had ended its space chartering agreement with Evergreen Line to serve west coast ports
YS Lines Yoshio Banno has been named President of Nippon Liner System and Hiroshi Naoi formerly of Japan Line will serve as Representative Director A spokesman for the company said We are putting in place a Europeanstyle consor
The 3000TEU Yamataka Maru formerly a YS Line vessel is Nippon Liner Systems contribution to the slot charter agreement with Mitsui OSK Line and NYK Line for an allwater service between the Far East and the US East Coast
tium This is the first time for Japan for this kind of approach
Agency representation for NLS will be overseen by NLS North America headquartered in Los Angeles Five separate companies will handle all agency and sales functions as subagents under NLS North America NLS Atlantic for the US east coast NLS MidAmerica for the interior US Pacific Liner Agency North and Pacific Liner Agency South for the Pacific Northwest and Southwest respectively and Eastern Liner Agencies for Canada
In Georgia Rex Nomekyo is Regional Manager for NLS Atlantic in Savannah handling port operations traffic equipment control and documentation Also in the Savannah office Jimmy McQuillan will handle sales working with Herman J Brown District Sales Manager in Atlanta Together their territory covers Georgia North Florida the Carolinas Eastern Tennessee and Northern Alabama Additional personnel in the Atlanta office of NLS include Ken Kinoshita Owners Representative for NLS North America and Kim Wardlaw Traffic Manager for NLS Atlantic

The 45000 square foot addition doubles Tetleys former space making it possible to store onsite both raw materials imported tea leaves and finished product awaiting distribution Fred Griffin Savannah Plant Manager said the new addition will aid Tetleys distribution efforts by eliminating dependence on public warehousing

blended bagged and packaged for shipment all inside the GPA gates Tea blends are highly guarded industry secrets with only a select few privy to the types of teas used and the formulas
Tetley Inc was founded in 1837 by Joseph and Edward Tetley who sold tea and salt from the back of a pack horse in Yorkshire England In 1888 Tetley teas were first exported to the United States to be sold in department stores The tea bag was bom in 1910 when an enterprising tea merchant began sending out samples of tea packed in small silk bags by 1913

Tetley was incorporated in the United States setting up offices and manufacturing facilities in New York City
In 1950 Tetley signed a contract with the Georgia Ports Authority to lease a 43000 square foot former ammunition warehouse After nine months of renovation production began with just 15 employees Today Tetleys Savannah plant employs 85 people who process 55 million pounds of tea each year
As the centennial year of Tetley Tea in America draws to a close its only fitting that 1988 also marks a milestone in the companys history With the expansion of Tetleys Savannah operation another 100 years of success seems certain
Tetleys new warehouse addition will hold both imported tea leaves waiting for processing as well as finished product ready for distribution

Despite the extensive news sports and entertainment programming filling Turner networks Ted Turner was disillusioned by the Olympic boycotts of 1980 and 1984 and the inability of the US and the USSR to meet for athletic competition As a response TBS staged the 1986 Goodwill Games in Moscow Marshalling the worlds best athletes in just 11 months TBS did what the Olympic committee could not Today the 1990 1994 and 1998 Goodwill Games are being planned and new avenues of detente between East and West have been opened because of the foresight and ingenuity of Turner Broadcasting System

On the subject of the hotlycontested trade bill Thomas said that even prior to its enactment the presence of the bill has brought progress to US trading partners Thomas said that in part the bill empowers the Administration to step in in order to identify unfair trading practices But still our best hope he said is for nations to work out their problems rather than resort to governmental action

With trade issues prevalent in the 100th Congress some of which remain unresolved Thomas predicted that the upcoming 101st Congress would be trademinded as well

BMW of North America Inc which has been importing its prestige automobiles through GPAs Colonels Island facility since early 1987 has completed work on its Vehicle Processing Center VPC in Brunswick

At recent grand opening festivities Karl Krueger Manager of the new VPC cited BMWs quest for quality as the driving force behind the companyowned processing facilities A VPC performs more than 100 mechanical and cosmetic inspections to the vehicles following arrival by ship from Germany The inspections include fluid and pressure level checks torque value checks on all critical nuts and bolts and evaluation of running conditions during a dynamometer test Optional items like telephones and compact disc players are also installed at the VPC
We consider the VPC process the best way to meet product quality commitment to our dealers and owners explained Gunter Kramer Chairman and President of BMW of North America The VPCs free the service departments of our dealers to do maintenance and repair work rather than new car preparation The automobiles are delivered to dealers in showroom condition ready to sell and drive off the lot BMW manufactures 14 models ranging in price from 24650 to 70000

The Brunswick VPC represents a 54 million investment in building and equipment The facility is located on 25 acres of Colonels Island directly across from International Auto Processing About 16000 BMWs per year or 15 per cent of BMWs national volume will be imported through Brunswick And at a calculation of 100 per car BMW packs an economic wallop of 16 million to the Brunswick area
At the Brunswick VPC 33 employees will be able to process 5055 units per day With 82000 square feet under one roof inspection of the VPC from the inside reveals a vast and pristine open space It is brightly lit with white walls and shiny gray floor which alone costs 50000 to paint with specially formulated nonstatic nonskid dirtrepelling paint Cars enter from
the western end of the building traveling east from station to station for the various checks
The second VPC to open in the United States BMW also processes their automobiles at a Laporte Texas facility A new VPC will open in Oxnard California later this year and construction is in progress on a fourth center in Jersey City New Jersey
In addition BMW recently opened a new Southeast Region office in Dunwoody Georgia a suburb of Atlanta to provide sales marketing and service support to BMW dealers in six southeastern states
As you can see Georgia is always on our mind said Kramer

What is believed to be one of the largest yachts ever shipped as deck cargo to the Georgia Ports Authority was unloaded recently at the Authoritys Ocean Terminal The 103foot 45 million Ivory Lady arrived in Savannah aboard Barber Blue Seas Barber Nara To unload the vessel the GPAs 175ton Clyde gantry crane lifted the yacht off the Barber Nara lowered it almost to the ground and then taxied a few hundred yards away from the ship The crane then slowly swung the yacht over the water and placed it in the Savannah River to begin its first voyage in American waters
The 120ton boat built by Cheoy Lee Shipyards of Hong Kongwas en route to Rex Cheoy Lee in Fort Lauderdale Fla the companys US distributor
Barber Blue Sea officials said the yacht was one of the largest their line has ever handled The move was a challenging one an Oslobased Barber official said A number of problems had to be solved particularly at the discharge side and when you are dealing with such an expensive piece of cargo you must ensure both the customer and yourself that you have found the most safe and efficient solution
Seaco provided stevedoring services for the move Because the yacht was too large to fit inside the Barber Nara it was shipped on the deck of the RoRo vessel Savannah was chosen for the discharge port because of available equipment with heavy lift capability The threedeck Ivory Lady carries two 22foot 150hp speed
GPAs 175ton capacity gantry crane lifts 120 tons of Ivory Lady with ease
boats electronic navigation and communication equipment for worldwide cruising Accommodations include two master staterooms three guest staterooms crew quarters customdesigned interior decoration and ten baths Cheoy Lee officials said it took four years to design and build the yacht
Two more of the same class yachts are being built at the Cheoy Lee yard both already sold The Ivory Lady will not be sold immediately so that Rex Cheoy can display her in Fort Lauderdale

RIDES THE RAILS
For the second year in a row a sponsored train excursion has been brought to Savannah to the delight of many who have fond memories of the heyday of passenger train travel in America Boarding at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on River Street Savannahians were treated to a loop around their city from the unique vantage point of vintage railcars
The New Georgia Railroad operated by the Georgia Building Authority which is a component of the state government has acquired or leased more than 20 restored railcars and three locomotives dating as far back as 1910 Working with volunteers from the National Railway Historical Society who operate the trains and in cooperation with CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads who provide ac
cess to their tracks the New Georgia Railroad offers regular excursions in and around the Atlanta area as well as special charters like the recent Savannah event
The Savannah excursion was sponsored by Family Life of Savannah and featured a 20mile route which began in the citys historic district and continued through GPAs Ocean Terminal facilities and other industries which line Savannahs waterfront The train then looped back around for a railside look at West Chatham County before returning to River Street
Used for the trip were vintage coaches pulled by Engine 6901 a diesel locomotive which pulled the famous Southern Crescent on a route between Washington DC and New Orleans via Atlanta until
the retirement of that service in 1979
The Georgia Building Authority also operates the Georgia Railroad Depot downtown Atlantas oldest building Completed in 1869 it served as a local freight depot for the Georgia Railroad The depot is located directly across the railroad tracks from the Zero Mile Post which was placed in 1850 to mark the southeastern terminus of the Western and Atlantic Railroad and the western terminus of the Georgia Railroad The city now known as Atlanta sprang up around the Zero Mile Post a city which came into being and still thrives because of its transportation network

EARNS HIGH PRU
its hard for many of us to imagine how the threat of war would affect our everyday lives
But theres a specially selected group of professionals in Savannah who devote a great deal of time to just that The Savannah Military Port Readiness Committee is responsible for all activity at Savannah and Brunswicks port Facilities in the event of defense contingencies
The Port of Savannah would have an important role in the nations defense serving to receive stage load and move military equipment overseas In fact 95 per cent of the logistical support for US forces deployed overseas is sent onboard vessels The mission of the Port Readiness Committee is to ensure that the military function is performed safely and efficiently protected from external threat while protecting civilian commerce as well
Serving as Chairman of the Savannah Port Readiness Committee is the US
Coast Guard Captain of the Port The balance of the committee is made up of the District Engineer US Army Corps of Engineers Commander of the South Atlantic Outport of the US Army Military Traffic
Exercises such as the recently executed REFORGER test the militarys mobilization skills The Port of Savannah is host to several logistics exercises every year
Management Command MTMC the Federal Port Controller for the Maritime Administration MARAD the Southeast Commander of the Military Sealift Command MSC and the Commanding Officer of the Savannah US Naval Control of Shipping Office NCSO

personnel works closely with the Coast Guard to convoy ships and route them around conflicts The MSC also a Naval Command serves as owners of Naval vessels The Corps of Engineers as in peacetime is responsible for maintaining navigable Federal waterways MTMC coordinates the movement of military equipment into the port for loading And the Federal Port Controller usually a port authority official is a civilian who maintains the Federal contract for port facilities in a designated area The Controller makes sure that fair market value is paid for military use of port facilities and in wartime makes decisions concerning docking priorities work crews and equipment based on need and national security
The Port Readiness Committee meets regularly to make sure responsibilities are clearly outlined and that lines of communication stay open among the representing branches The US Coast Guard while in peacetime a regulatory agency under the Department of Transportation operates in time of hostility as a service of the US Navy under the Department of Defense The Coast Guards mission is to enforce Federal laws governing port safety and security above and below Federal waters says Lt Timothy Mann serving with the US Coast Guard in Savannah
In times of war the Coast Guard still performs its statutory jobs like marine inspections and permitting and environmental response said Mann but our priorities change Of paramount importance is keeping the port a viable economic entity to keep supplies and commerce going said Mann Were not in the business of closing down ports he said Its important that the area around a port being used for military cargo is secure but civilian shipping would not be

ticipants and give them an opportunity to do coordinated planning said Lloyd In an actual situation we would have the backup to go to the national level even to Chiefs of Staff to set priorities and okay plans but in a simulation we try to go as far as we can on the local level in dealing with all possible contingencies
During a tabletop simulation exercise administrator Doug Lloyd of MARAD encourages partnershipping and coordination among Committee members
solution to a problem which arose during a global conflict military exercise We found the war grinding to a halt after 15 days because we were running out of certain supplies parts and personnel said Mann Now we have a real peacetime mission to plan the implementation of the defense zone
Military exercises like the recent REFORGER REtum of FORces to GERmany at the Port of Savannah see Georgia Anchor Age 3rd Quarter 1988 are crucial to the Port Readiness Committees planning process Through these exercises in which massive amounts of equipment and troops are mobilized to test the armed forces transportation capabilities logistics can be tested altered and refined before actually needed during a military situation
Another type exercise used regularly by the Committee are tabletop simulations designed to foster cooperation and improved planning skills These exercises usually lasting two eighthour days take the form of roundtable discussions attended by representatives of each Readiness Committee agency
Doug Lloyd Program Specialist for the Maritime Administration of the US Department of Transportation MARAD served as Chairman of a recent exercise which took place in Savannah These exercises are designed to draw out the par
The tabletop simulations begin with a situation For example on a Saturday afternoon it is necessary to load a troop carrier at a certain berth at GPAs Ocean Terminal schedules for ships and personnel must be rearranged and priorities set the mobilization and arrival of the troops must be coordinated As the planning process continues Lloyd as administrator of the exercise throws in another variable A terrorist threat Contingency plans must be made on the spot among all participants and a new set of problems must be dealt with
At the conclusion of the exercise evaluations are made and an agenda is issued for problem areas to be addressed by the next exercise said Lloyd These simulations are invaluable tools for enhancing our readiness capabilities
Contained in a Memorandum of Understanding among the Readiness Committee agencies represented and the Departments of Defense and Transportation are specific steps to be taken in the event of mobilization or national emergency which include situations less than a declaration of war or national defense emergency The memorandum which relates procedures regarding cargo operations vessel operations and security serves as a blueprint for participating agencies and lists areas of responsibility for each Although the document serves as a reminder of the need for a strong national defense and careful planning it is hopefully a blueprint for a building which will never be built

B usiness boomed in 1988 for the Georgia Ports Authoritys Brunswick facilities and 1989 promises to be even brighter for the Fastest Growing Port on the Atlantic Seaboard I
Its been a year of changes and growth for the Brunswick ports Auto imports reached
100000 at the GPAs Colonels Island facility construction began on a second auto dock and the GPA finalized its purchase of the Brunswick Port Authority
Tonnage figures from Brunswick add to the good news Total cargo handled increased by more than 400000 tons in fiscal year 1988 ending in June compared to FY 87 Total cargo in 1988 was 1591400 tons In 1987 it was 1125396
Figures for 1988 look even better when compared with FY 1986 when only 400796 tons of cargo were handled
In FY 1988 break bulk cargo totalled 517641 including imported vehicles Dry bulk cargo accounted for 1024594 tons while container cargo totalled for 34551 and liquid bulk totaled 1444614 tons
The Brunswick Port is fast becoming one of the busiest vehicle importers on the South Atlantic coast This year the GPA has secured auto imports from Volkswagen of America and Lotus and tractor imports from DeutzAllis JI Case and Valmet Already being imported are vehicles from BMW Saab Hyundai Yugo Peugeot and IMT tractor
BMW recently celebrated the grand opening of their own 54 million processing facility on Colonels Island
Brunswick has much to boast about with the IAP facility which is seen as the newest and most sophisticated port processor in the country
IAP is located on a 75acre tract on Colonels Island and has an additional 75 acres for further growth
The company prides itself on its stateoftheart facility and their strategic location on Colonels Island Another selling point for IAP is that its in a more pollutionfree environment a sour note for some ports where there have been complaints of car paint being damaged because of pollution
Increased car imports have led to the opening of one truck transport terminal

GEORGIA FOREIGN TRADE CONFERENCE
Focuses on Exporting Changing Transportation Front
More than 600 people met in Savannah Oct 46 to consider the changing international trade arena during the 22nd Annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Maritime transportation manufacturing and sales representatives attended the threeday event which focused on selling in world markets EDI space chartering and rate conferences
Conference General Chairman Dick Carter praised the organizers of the annual event crediting overflow attendance at panel sessions to the timeliness of the topics and the lineup of nationallyrecognized executives serving on the panels
Sixteen trade and business experts participated in four panel discussions over the course of the conference Daniel J Kerrigan President of the Containerization and Intermodal Institute served as moderator for all sessions James M
Piette Vice Chairman and Resident Manager of Union Camp Corporations Savannah complex delivered the keynote address Piette called for continued growth in the local shipping industry along with an emphasis on longrange planning
The Port of Savannah is at a crossroads We must look to the future and do so with a sense of balance as we weigh all the factors involved in realistic port development The Talmadge Bridge is a reality which will allow large vessels to call here Now that this hardfought battle has been won it logically follows that we need to take full advantage of the opportunities a higher bridge affords us Piette said Union Camp is interested in a more productive local shipping industry that would complement the 375 million restructuring underway at the companys Savannah facility
PIETTE
Port of Savannah at a crossroads
Union Camp Piette said is eager to see more shipping lines attracted to the port Union Camp is committed to being a partner and working with the local port to bring more and more carriers to Savannah We are pleased that much of our tonnage is the base cargo which today provides the inducement for many carriers to call at Savannah Union Camp exports products to more than 70 nations
Piette also stressed the importance of exports at Union Camp and the validity of the federal goverments Export Now program He defined the Export Now program as the hope that businesses in this country will be awakened to the current open window of opportunity for the export of American products
To illustrate his point Piette noted that the world market is four times larger than the US domestic market and that 95 percent of the worlds population is located outside the United States With the global population increasing about 70 percent faster each year than the US population the potential for new markets is unlimited
Union Camp took action on the potential for increased sales through export about 40 years ago Piette said What Export Now is preaching Union Camp first began to factor into its management game plan in the years immediately following World War II The result has been a long and steady growth of doing business in the world marketplace Our 1950 offshore sales were 1500000 and 1987 sales volume for Union Camp approached one quarter of a billion dollars
Union Camp has been singled out twice by the US Department of Commerce for export excellence Piette said the latest award being presented this past May when the company became a member of President Reagans prestigious E Star club This honor is limited to a select group of exporters or support organizations
who have previously earned the E
Award and have significantly increased their volume of exports since winning that award See Georgia AnchorAge 2nd Quarter 1988
Following Piettes speech an E Award was presented to Rotary Corporation of Glenville Ga The award was given by T Fleetwood Mefford Deputy Assistant Secretary US Department of Commerce with Bill W Nelson President of Rotary Corporation accepting the honor A manufacturer and distributor of small engines and lawnmower replacement parts Rotary Corporation presently exports 11 per cent of their total sales volume to 40 countries
Mefford told the audience that President Reagan launched Export Now as an intensive export awareness campaign providing an excellent opportunity for America to firmly establish its position as the worlds leading economic power Export Now highlights exports as a good way to increase earnings At current exchange rates export sales often are more profitable than sales in the domestic market Export Now also emphasizes that quality US products can compete with the best in the world and indeed are preferred by many nations he said
Theres an export boom going on right now Mefford said citing Union Camp as an good example of a company taking advantage of a favorable export marketplace The lower dollar has created a more favorable climate Industries have been restructured Plants have been modernized Management is getting back to the basics we developed decades ago
and taught the rest of the world
basics such as cost control product quality and an emphasis on people as a resource to be developed Mefford stressed that it is time for American companies to recapture markets that have been lost in the past and urged those in attendance to work towards more aggressive exporting

DAY ONE
TIME FOR EXPORTING IS NOW
The time is now for American businesses to aggressively go after foreign marketplaces That was the consensus of business and government experts at the Georgia Foreign Trade Conference
Selling in World Markets was the first topic tackled during the first day of panel discussions
World trading markets have never been better said Kenneth Cutshaw Chief of Staff for the Commerce Under Secretary for Export Administration
Cutshaw was joined on the panel by Robert J Kaiser Vice President Marketing Division ExportImport Bank of the US WF McNellis Director of Corporate Traf
fic J I Case Company and Mark R Zuccolo Director of International Business for Snapper Power Equipment
The export news today is good Cutshaw said He reported that the trade deficit for July at 95 billion was the lowest in more than three years At that pace he said the trade deficit for 1988 will be around 1375 billion down from 170 billion in 1987 Thats good news for Americas economy Cutshaw said
There is a 61 million export marketplace in Western Europe for American manufacturers and shippers Cutshaw continued Now is the time to establish your European market position in anticipation
With Georgia in place as a leader in the export of forest products the good news about exports hit home at this years Georgia Foreign Trade Conference

Cutshaw said some of the best prospects for American sales is to China China has got to be without a doubt the largest potential market in the world today he said with the hottest products being energy transportation and telecommunications Sales of medical equipment building materials and machine tools also look bright
Global opportunities have never been better The payoff for exporting will be higher profits a better American economy and more jobs Its time to Export Now Cutshaw said
Mark Zuccolo encouraged businesses to begin exporting with five steps he said that will get the ball rolling
1 Open your mind Zuccolo said by opening your mind to the possibilities of exporting the pieces will begin to fall in place
2 Service Plan to take care of your foreign market just as you take care of your domestic market
3 Humbly ask everyones opinion and then make up your own mind
4 Think and Act Long Term a long term view is needed
5 Stay Informed Keep up with your companys standings on an international basis
Bill McNellis of JI Case speaking on the pitfalls of exporting told the group that there were no barriers to trade only obstacles The obvious obstacles he said are quota systems duties and taxes Some of the notsoobvious obstacles are training your staff to do things differently for a foreign market including sales terms packaging and local marketing
CHARTERS CONFERENCES FOCUS OF SECOND DAY
The second day of panel discussions centered on the future of vessel space chartering and the fate of rate conferences Capacity crowds filled the room as transportation experts and analysts examined both timely subjects
In the first of the two panels Space Chartering At What Price Nedlloyd Lines Vice President James I Newsome
III summarized todays environment for carriers as having a structural over capacity in the mainstream eastwest US trades at 30 per cent in excess of demand This has led said Newsome to rate levels which do not allow carriers to make money A great deal is being lost this year in the transatlantic trade said Newsome
Newsome continued by saying that Nedlloyds customers are sending a clear signal Dont expect us to overcome your problems because we deal in a very competitive worldwide market as well Customers are demanding that lines find ways to cut costs while maintaining and improving service levels
The customer side of the question was represented in part by Thomas D Lewellen Corporate Supervisor of International Traffic for Caterpillar Overseas SA While Caterpillars initial reaction to joint services has been positive said Lewellen most joint services with their preference for containers are leaving us with some real problems shipping our core products Caterpillars core products are earthmoving and construction equipment outsized cargo which does not lend itself to cellular vessels
Lewellen cited further disadvantages to space chartering as fewer sailings and direct call ports less individual line flexibility and the threat that an underground pricing cartel will develop which will be stronger than the present conference system
For Caterpillar said Lewellen It looks
like a case of back to the future a return to conventional ships and an increased use of tramp service
In another carriers view rationalization represents the last chance for ocean carriers to make meaningful cost reductions There are no more shortcuts no more umbrellas to hide under no more Aces up our sleeves said C Michael Morse President of Atlantic Container Line Morse compared todays steamship industry to the aviation industry of two years ago Lots of red ink and too many competitors with too much capacity looking for cargo While ocean carriers have traditionally competed against each other in the spirit of free enterprise now we see the need for banding together in the battle for survival
Newsome echoed that sentiment saying that in Nedlloyds view space chartering agreements will be the norm rather than the exception in liner shipping But will space chartering agreements be enough to return the shipping industry to appropriate levels of profitability No said Newsome We have created too big of a hole for ourselves to be solved by this solution alone further consolidations and an ex

Rate Conferences Addressed The final conference panel brought together a rate conference president two carriers and an importer to ponder the question Rate Conferences Will They Survive
A resounding yes came from the corner of Harvey M Flitter Chairman of the US Atlantic North Europe Conference The key to survival is legislation said Flitter citing the Shipping Act of 1984 which preserved the conference system In Flitters opinion rate conferences will pass muster following a Shipping Actmandated review of conferences The commission will address whether the nation would be best served by prohibiting conferences or by closed or open conferences My prediction said Flitter is that the open conference system will prevail and be continued well into the 21st century
The advantages of conferences throughout the world Flitter continued lie in regular and frequent service rate stability economy in service costs and equal treat
T Fleetwood Mefford of the US Department of Commerce r congratulates Rotary Corporations Vice President of International Sales Wayne Rogers I and President Bill W Nelson on receiving the coveted E Award for exporting excellence
ment of shippers Conferences are the lifeblood of independents he said Take away the umbrella of conference rates and less fortunate weaker lines will drown
Panelist Juergen Traub President of the independent Senator Linie USA Inc countered that the value in conferences to his operation lies in their antitrust immunity to discuss pricing among members This helps keep fingers off the triggers he said and prevents the start of destructive rate wars which would decimate the industry until only the government lines remained
Senator is a small carrier with low overhead continued Traub but becoming a conference carrier would necessitate joining about ten separate conferences to cover Senators two round the world services
Flitter said the trend of consolidation will continue among rate conferences citing the evolution of the Atlantic North Europe Conference from five separate rate agreements to one eliminating the quagmire of multiple meetings and making it possible for shippers to deal with a single ocean tariff
More importantly said Flitter in transportation volume speaks With the shippers volume spread over four or five different conferences any appreciation of the total volume of its business could pretty well be lost
JF DeChant Executive Vice President of conference carrier Ivaran Lines offered that The stereotype of the conference as a monolithic monopolistic monster that says only increased rates and no to any request for a change in rates is inaccurate Conferences he said must react differently from the stereotype DeChant addressed the problem of government control of carriers where national flag lines are favored and all others restricted
Sovereign countries have every right to
operate with as much centralized economic control as they deem necessary he said Unfortunately competing in a market area where one trade partner feels open market conditions create the best opportunities and the other wants strong centralized controls with the philosophy behind those controls constantly changing between shippers and conferences and carriers the result is disoriented and unpopular conference rate making decisions
DeChants advice to those in attendance was to let your concerns be known through the vehicles the industry is setting up to discuss and adjust the shipping act
Its a question of adjustment to change according to Don Herbert in his remarks to the panel Herbert Vice President of Distribution for Pier 1 Imports which uses conference carriers said that if the goal of regulation is to preserve the status quo then regulation is not an acceptable policy Those that do change will succeed those who dont wont said Herbert
It is our opinion that deregulation has been particularly good for the shipping public and the carriers as well he continued It has allowed the healthy growth of private enterprise and carriers alike at least to those who have adjusted quickly to the rapid pace of change
Looking at rate conferences as partnerships will guarantee a winwin situation said Herbert He went on to name the key elements of a conference partnership as
1 service to the customer
2 mutual respect
3 integrity and truth
4 search for excellence
5 opportunity for growth
If this sounded a bit idealistic Herbert iced the cake with reality saying that The shipping lines must be amiable to the needs of the customer or understand that alternative action such as working with nonconference carriers will be taken
