Eurotainer
Expands in Mexico
In response to the need of shippers for easier access to tank containers in Mexico, Eurotainer USA
Inc. is establishing equipment inventories and related services at
three locations in that country.
The locations are Monterrey,
Nuevo Leon, a leading industrial city in northeastern Mexico; Irapuato,
Guanajuato, a rail and highway
junction northwest of Mexico City;
and Veracruz, Veracruz, Mexico’s
most important Gulf port. Both IM
1 O1 and 102 containers will be
available at these locations, as well
as units for food products.
Other Services
With this effort, Eurotainer becomes
the first provider of logistics services for tank containers to have inventory in Mexico, says Russell Jones,
president, Eurotainer USA. Along
with the inventory come services
such as repairs, painting and inspections. Previously, all equipment for
use in Mexico was handled from ......
Eurotainer’s Houston facility.
"Wehave leasing activity in Mexico," says Jones. "So this expansion
is not only aimed at increasing
sales, it’s also our next stage for improving our leasing activities."
The company will continue to
employ Cittec-Mexico S.A., its agent
in Mexico since 1991. Cittec provides complete support in Mexico
for companies engaged in import
and export activities.
Largest Fleet
Eurotainer operates the largest
fleet of tank containers in the
world. Tank containers offer shippers the flexibility,
speed and
economy of transport by rail,
highway or water without costly
and time-consuming transfers between modes.
Eurotainer USAInc. is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Eurotainer S.A.
Both are members of the Brambles
Worldwide Group, providing complete tank container logistics services for North American shippers
moving products to or from any
location in the world.

facility for movingheavy-lift cargo
must take into account numerous
factors -- truck and rail access,
availability of cranes and other
equipment, the port’s proximity to
where the cargo originates or is
destined, availability of storage area,
steamship connections and whether
a particular wharf is large and
durable enough to accommodate the
cargo. Each of these ingredients is
as important as the next to the
overall success of the job, and no
two jobs are alike.
"When you think about it, the
planning- all the detail workthat goes into a heavy lift is incredible," says Horan. "Houston is an old
hand at this kind of job; we excel at
it. Still, no matter how long you’ve
workedin this business, a heavy-lift
is an impressive thing to watch." []

courses they have are very beneficial
for everyone -- workers, gang foremen, supervisors and management,"
he said."The program has not only
improved safety, it has helped
production.
"The drug program is important -- it’s good for everyone.
Nobody wants to work with an addict. I’ve read 80 percent of
American industry has drug testing.
It should be 100 percent. We’re
proud that our incident rate is
lower, but accident costs keep going
up, so we want to keep working
harder to avoid accidents and keep
this region competitive."
Other Benefits
James Wells, president of Fairway
Terminals, said "We feel the WGMA
safety program has been very
helpful in reducing lost-time incidents. The staff is very professional, and they work with a
cooperative spirit. Probably the best
thing is the combination of their
physical presence on the docks,
with the excellent research and program development behind the
scenes."
Captain John Scardasis, vice president, West Gulf division, Lykes Bros
Steamship Co., commented, "We
have observed improvements -- not
only in safety, but with communication and increased productivity. The
improvements in safety and work
habits also enhance the port’s ability to attract cargo because we’re
seen by the shipping community as
a productive and safe work place.
It’s a form of leadership that can
enhance the region’s overall place in
the industry."
The WGMA
safety program is
good news for the Port of Houston
and its nine West Gulf sister
ports -- and one more example of
this region’s maritime leadership. []

IADA Is First
The memberlines and conferences
of the Inter-American Discussion
Agreement (IADA) recently became
the first groupto file a rules tariff
under the Federal Maritime Commission’s automated filing system.
The filing followed a year of "intense discussions, negotiations and,
above all, unselfish cooperation"
among IADAconferences and member
lines, says IADAChairmanJohn Morris.
The IADAis a Federal Maritime
Commission-approved agreement
that provides four conferences and
their memberlines an opportunity
to discuss matters of commonin-
iMIAMI
Group to File Automatee
terest. Parties to IADAare the conferences and lines that operate services between the United States and
the East Coast of South America.
AwesomeChallenge
Converting members’ tariffs to
the Maritime Commission’s automated tariff filing system (ATFI)
presented an "awesome challenge"
to the members of the discussion
agreement, Morris says.
"Taken as a whole, the conferences and memberlines of the
IADAfile 18 separate tariffs, each
with multiple sections, and since
the conferences represent the lines
~
in both the northbound and southbound directions,
the sheer volume
of paper work was tremendous,"
says Morris.
Vendor Selection
A committee of representatives
of
IADAmember lines decided to contract, as a group, with one or two
vendors to assist in the complex
process.
DXI Inc. of Pittsburgh was chosen
to work with the Inter-American
Freight, Brazil/Puerto Rico and
River Plate/Puerto Rico conferences,
whose data had already been converted to ATFI by Crowley American

Transport Inc., one of the member
lines. A second vendor, Lalandia Inc.
of Fort Laudcrdale, Fla., worked with
the Pacific Coast Conference, whose
tariffs required a complete conversion
into the ATFI format.
Simplified Tariffs
Memberlines were asked to radically
simplify’ their tariffs by reducing
their size, producing commonrules
for each confcrcnce, and by modifying
the rules, rate descriptions and regulations to meet ATFI requirements.
On Aug. 16, the Inter-American
Freight Conference Rules Tariff No.
1, FMCNo. 34, was filed; the tariff
went into effect Nov. 1. Five other
filings were expected to follow
in quick succession for this
conference.
"Webelieve that this filing makes
IADAthe first conferences to be
filed and effective within the ATFI
window for a trade lane," says Morris. "That places the IADAin a
leadership position in the use of
this new technology."

AAPA Begins Manager Certification
The American Association of Port
Authorities (AAPA)has begun spelling out the details of its new certification program for port managers.
The Certified Port Manager (CPM)
Program was one of several items
on the agenda of AAPA’s82nd annual convention held recently in
Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The purpose of the CPMprogram, AAPA
officials say, is to
foster professionalism and develop
a standard that ports can use in
hiring or promoting high-level
port officials. The program is
scheduled to go into effect Jan. 1.
To receive certification, individuals must have completed the
AAPAtraining program, have five
years’ experience in port management, completed courses in AAPArecognized academic programs and
must have written a paper on a topic
related to port management. CPMs
also must have served on an AAPA
technical committee.
New Chairman
During tile convention, David
Bellefontaine, president of the
Halifax Port Corp., passed the chair-
Program
man’s gavel to Raul Urzua Marambio, director of the Empresa Portuaria de Chile. Urzua was elected
AAPAchairman at the association’s
spring conference in Arlington, Va.
He is the first AAPAchairman from
South America.
Approximately 800 people attended the convention in Halifax.
AAPArepresents port agencies
throughout the United States,
Canada, Latin America and the
Caribbean. The association was
founded in 1912 and is headquartered in Alexandria, Va.

TrackingReport
The Maritime Administration has announcedthe availability of a technical
report titled Worldwide Vessel Locating and Tracking System, Volume I:
Final Report.
Prepared by Synetics Corp. of Wakefield, Mass., the report may be obtained from the National Technical
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal
Rd., Springfield, Virginia 22161. The
order number is PB03193217, and
the price is $27.
The ability to locate and track commercial and government maritime
vessels has always been limited by the
requirement that those vessels manually communicatepositions over time.
This became evident during Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm.
This prompted MarAdto investigate
possible designs for an automated
worldwide Vessel Locating and Tracking System (VESLOTS).
At the request of MarAdand the
Coast Guard, Synetics completed a
three-part program which assessed the
)ossible implementation of a system.

and the Kiwanis Club to an executive who has played a major role
in making Houston an international
city. The City of Houston tradi
tionally passes a resolution, and
Harris County issues a proclamation
recognizing the honoree’s contributions to the community.
NAFTASupporter
LeBlanc, the sixth person to receive the award, joined Keystone International in 1956 as a salesman. As
chairman and CEO, he has helped
tile company achieve $528 million in
annual sales. More than half the company’s sales are in countries other
than the United States.
Speakers at a recent dinner lauded LeBlanc for his involvement in
trade with Canada and Mexico and
his efforts to secure passage of the
North American Free Trade Agreement. "We need that kind of leadership in Harris County," said Harris
County Judge Jon Lindsay.
Keystone International
Keystone International manufactures and distributes a broad range
of valves, actuators, controls and
systems for industrial markets. The
firm’s international headquarters are
located on a 32-acre site in Houston.
After expressing his appreciation
for the International Executive
designation, LeBlanc announced
that Keystone will spend $7 million
on a new headquarters building and
on renovation of the company’s
current buildings. "We’re committed to Houston because it is a great
place to live," he said.
