Rates reduced at Barbours Cut Terminal A

Tariff change
Ratesreducedat
BarboursCutTerminal
10 percent reduction in the tariff on loaded container throughput charges at Barbours Cut Terminal
has been announced by the Port of Houston
Authority.
In addition,
for containers on which throughput
charges are paid, no fee will be charged for drayage between the container park or roll-on/roll-off
staging area
and the Barbours Cut rail ramp, which is located conveniently inside the terminal.
Finally, rental rates have been reduced for various
pieces of equipment.
"These changes are being made to reduce the costs incurred by steamship lines calling at Barbours Cut," said
R.P. Leach, executive director of the Port of Houston
Authority.
"The elimination
of the drayage charge
should prove particularly
attractive
to shippers who
want to use a landbridge to and from the U.S. Midwest
and West Coast.
"We believe these reductions will stimulate greater
use of this facility,"
Leach continued. "Consequently,
A
they are provisional in nature."
The new throughput charge is $54 per loaded container, for both imports and exports.
The rental rate for a yard tractor and chassis as one
unit has been changed to $20 per unit per hour, while
rental for a heavy-duty RO/ROtractor is now $30 per
unit per hour. Rental for a yard tractor alone is $15 per
unit per hour, and rental for a chassis costs $5 per unit
per hour.
Barbours Cut Terminal handles both containerized
and roll-on/roll-off cargo, and has eight wharf cranes, 11
yard cranes, a RO/ROramp and 100,000 square feet of
covered storage. Each of its four berths is backed with
more than 36 acres of paved marshalling area for containers and RO/ROcargo.
"Barbours Cut is an efficient intermodal gateway to
and from the U.S. West Coast and Midwest. These rate
reductions are intended to make it more profitable for
shippers to use this facility," noted Leach.
The new rates went into effect May1, 1986. []

Yugo America officials originally considered Houston as
the point of discharge for Yugos to be distributed in and
around Texas, Allee said, but discovered the port would
be a strategic distribution point for other parts of the
country.
Yugo America officials say the new import is the only
new automobile available in the United States for under
$5,000 and that more than 12,000 of the cars have been
sold.
"What we are experiencing
is the phenomenon of a
market in search of a car," said William Prior. "Research
studies dating back to December 1983 indicated that the
American consumer was looking for down-to-earth basic
transportation that also had value."
The Yugo is shipped from Bar, Yugoslavia, by Zavodi
Crvena Zastava and was introduced in the United States in
August 1985. Yugos accounted for less than one percent
of new automobiles sold in the United States last year, but

Taiwan working to enhance trade
The trade volume of the Republic
of China (Taiwan) ranks 16th in the
world in terms of
monetary value,
but the country
cannot be complacent
and is
working hard to
enhance its trade
position, a Taiwanese official
said.
Taiwan hopes
to spur economic King-yuh
Chang
growth at home partly by making its
JUGOLI
markets more attractive
to imports,
said Dr. King-yuh Chang, director
general of Taiwan’s governmental information office. Chang spoke recently during a Gulf Coast World Affairs
Council forum.
The republic must practice "progressive liberalization
of import
policies so that the country can enjoy
both the economic benefits of inexpensive imports and the political advantages against foreign protectionist
measures," Chang said.
It is also important for Taiwan to
upgrade and diversify its economy

position
and products,
he said.
Other
measures
Taiwan is using
to
strengthen its trade standing include
developing laws that attract imports,
further developing the country’s
financial institutions and nourishing
the country’s values.
Taiwan is a small island off the
Asian mainland, but its population is
more than 19 million, and its gross national product was an estimated $56.6
billion in 1984.
Taiwan was "a backward rural
economy" about 40 years ago, trying
to recover from World War II and
severe inflation,
Chang said. "The
timely arrival of U.S. economicaid in
1951 greatly facilitated
the tasks of
postwar rehabilitation
and fiscal
management."
Taiwan "graduated" from U.S. aid
in 1965, Chang said, and quickly
began to switch from an "inwardoriented, import-substitution" policy
to an "outward-oriented,
exportexpansion"
policy.
The country
underwent rapid industrial growth. In
1985, about 21 percent
of the
Taiwanese labor force was employed
in agricultural
work, compared to
about 60 percent in 1952, he said.
"A spin-off
of the Republic of
China’s economic progress has been a
sharing of experiences and good fortune with other nations," Chang said.
Taiwan has trained more than 7,500
people from more than 38 countries
since 1959 and has sent 90 technical
and agricultural teams to help needy
countries. Taiwan also has 32 missions in 23 nations.

Freight forwarders are often faced with

Storage space for consolidating the

Sohio president sees seasonal
pattern for petroleum prices
Oil prices will probably rise and fall
seasonally during the next few years
because refiners are living hand-tomouth and cannot keep a large inventory of crude, said the president
of Standard Oil Co. (Sohio).
"There is no crude inventory to
speak of," said William J. Johnson.
"As a consequence, refiners
have
chosen to pay the price rather than
carry the inventory in the volatile
pricing environment that we have
right now."
Johnson spoke recently at a luncheon during the Marine/Offshore Industry Outlook Conference, sponsored by the Texas A&MUniversity
Sea Grant Program. About 130 industry representatives
attended the
luncheon.
Oil prices probably will rise and
drop in seasonal cycles, starting low
in the spring, firming up in the summer, rising in the fall and then dropping again, Johnson said.
"I don’t think that when we see oil
prices moving up later this year that
we ought to get excited about it,
because there’s another side to that
hill," Johnson said.
While the price of domestic oil is
likely to begin stabilizing
in the
1990s, he said, "I don’t believe that
we’re going to see oil much over $20
and $25 a barrel."
Meanwhile, Johnson said, the industry will probably see more and
more petroleum company buyouts,
like the "megamergers" that took
place during the past two years.
Among the large
mergers were
Chevron Co.’s purchase of Gulf Oil
Corp., Texaco, Inc.’s buyout of Getty
Oil Co. and Mobil Corp.’s acquisition
of Superior Oil.
Most oil companies now must use
their revenues to meet expenses and
pay debts, not for exploration and
development, Johnson said. With the
current industry environment, he
said, "exploration in most places in
the country just doesn’t make a lot of
sense. Something’s just got to happen."
Johnson said a "whole laundry list
of things . . . to help prop up the oil
industry"
has been proposed, but
none of them has been very successful in the U.S. Congress. He said the
White House lacks a definitive energy
policy.
"I really think that if we’re going to
see any kind of move to stabilize the
industry and preserve it until we get
things leveled off," he said, "it’s going to be in Congress that it will have
to happen."
