CommissionerPerry speaks at AAPAmeeting
effective board of directors sets
policy, then gets out of the
way, Port of Houston Authority Commissioner Marcella Perry told a
group of American Association of Port
Authorities (AAPA)membersat a recent
San Francisco meeting.
Whenasked to give her views on what
makes for a successful board-management relationship, Commissioner Perry
told the assemblage, "I’ve served as a
member or chairman of the board of
banks, thrift institutions, a majoruniversity and numerouscity, county and civil
bodies. I can tell you emphatically from
personal experience that the success of
any organization--whether
it be in
government or in private
enterprise--begins
with the board’s
understanding of its ownrole: policy."
A board which ignores its policy function can create more problems than it
solves, she said. "The quickest way for
an inexperienced board to cripple an effective organization, to destroy morale
and to invite disaster, is to becomean ac-

tivist board attempting to makeday-today decisions."
The right way, she said, is to concentrate on policy-making and leave individual decisions to a highly-skilled
management team. "Granted, we cannot delegate responsibility," she said,
"only authority. But to me, the most effective board is the one that restricts
itself to setting policy--no matter how
tempting the alternative--then gets out
of the way of the executive staff in implementing that policy."
But for the philosophy to work, a
board-management relationship based
on trust is required, CommissionerPerry
said. "That’s the key ingredient...and
it works both waysfor any board, public
or private."
Trust becomes an even more important element for port commissions, she
said, because they are appointees of
political bodies and as such are subject to
social, economicand political pressures.
For those reasons, the board must trust
the staff to put forth its best manage-

In summary, the commissioner said
she believes her managementphilosophy
can be applied to almost any boardmanagementrelationship,
"whether it
be for a world-class port, a major bank or
an outstanding women’s university."
She added, however, that while the
board delegates responsibility,
it’s
ultimately accountable for the port’s
operation. "The buck stops where all
five of us sit, for we are chargedwith the
responsibility
to manage, govern and
control the port," she said. "That, we
cannot delegate." []

ment effort in a field which is already
tough and becoming tougher all of the
time, Commissioner Perry said. "It
trusts them to plan ahead...two, five,
ten years to keepfacilities and services in
the forefront. It trusts them to obtain
maximum
value for every dollar expended. Andit must trust them to keep the
board, individually and collectively, informed on all matters pertinent to the
port’s operation and well-being," she
said.
And knowledge on the part of
managers and administrators that the
board has that trust is equally important,
the commissioner said. "No better expression of trust in managementcan be
given than the board’s willingness to
provide adequate compensation and
health and welfare security programs,"
she said. "Most assuredly, the people
hired to build and managea successful
enterprise are entitled to knowthat the
board will provide them with the most
moderntools, equipment, facilities ano
personnel to assure continued progress."

Houston
Tele
-~ontainerization
is one of the principal container carriers
in the world.
Basedin Paris, the line serves the Port
of Houston as well as NewOrleans and
Mobile on the Gulf and Miami and
Savannahon the Atlantic coast. Ports of
call in Europe include Rotterdam,
Bremerhaven, Gothenburg, Felixstowe
and Le Havre.
Major outbound
shipments, according to CGM’sArnauld
de Pete, include packing house products,
cotton, oil field equipment and tank
chemicals. In turn, the line imports
chemicals, antique furniture, foodstuffs,
machineryand tires.
"Containerization
has simplified
operations by allowing shipping point to
point rather than port to port," de Pere
said. "The concept is reliable and consistant. Overall efficiency is also carefully
considered. Containerzation cuts costs,
damages to goods and pilfering. Computerization of most operations is an excellent examplethe continuing advancenent of the industry."
"Weare very satisfied with the level of
frompage 5
service at Barbours Cut. Turnaround
time is good and the equipment and
facilities
are excellent," he said.
"Houstonis working toward establishing
itself as the ’load-center’ port of the gulf
coast,
’ ’
better
vessel
production
and
economics," van Houten said. "Gatehandling was a major concern in the
past, but the port has taken various steps
to reduce truck waiting time. Also, with
the Port Authority and the terminal
management, we have jointly reached
rate improvements.Overall, we are very
pleased
with
the terminal
management."
Accordingto Leach, the depressed rate
is presently attracting into containers
some cargoes that had not previously
been containerized. "Becauseof cost factors, inexpensive items are now being
shipped by container due to the low
¢ ThePort of Houston, because it
rates. Someof these cargoes will probably stay in containers,
which is
AL chose the best of what was
presently the trend. Also pilferage is not available at the time, offers the compilation of everyone’s technology," said
as much of a problem."
"Container lines must have access to Leach. "We are committed to conmodern, well-equipped and well-run
tainerization. Due to the speed and verfacilities located close to the seaboard," satility of containerization, it enhances
said Jack van Houten, resident general
commerceand creates new jobs such as
manager of Incotrans line, one of the container and chassis construction,
first users of Barbours Cut Container repairing and leasing. Containerization
Terminal.
reduces transportation costs and fosters
the entire economy, which ultimately
"Barbours Cut Terminal had its struggles in the beginning, however, con- reduces the costs to consumers," Leach
tinuous improvements have resulted in concluded.
