12 PORT OF HOUSTON MAGAZINE

Three New Consular Officials Named To HoustonSpain

Erlk lngnaeio Martel feels that Spain’simpact on American history has beenoverlooked and says that during onrBicentennial Year he hopes to helpchange some of the rec.ords.

Houston’s new Spanish consul is anardent student of history who partiallyprepared for his Texas post by reading

Hon. E. Ignacio Martel

as many histories of this area as hecould find. His fascination with the sub-ject is obvious and his research has un-covered some facts that are eye-openersin light of traditionally-reported history.

Martel was born in the Canary Islandsand points out proudly that it wasSpanish homesteaders from those Islandswho first settled Texas. His grandfatherwas Norwegian (hence the Erik).

Martel traveled extensively as a childsince his father was in the Spanish Navy.He studied in London, Madrid and Se-ville before entering the Spanish Diplo-matic School. He then taught interna-tional law and polities at the school forfour years and served in the Ministryof Foreign Affairs and the Directorateof Cultural Relations.

After posts as deputy chief of missionand charge d’affairs at the Spanish Em-bassy in Pakistan, Martel went back tothe Ministry of Foreign Affairs and theDirectorate General of Economic Re-lations. There he was irrstrumental inarranging treaties between Spain andEastern European and Asian countries.

Martel sees his duties as consul hereas two-fold---first to concentrate on thehistorical and cultural aspects during theBicentennial Year and then to focus onthe commercial and trade aspects afterJuly 4, 1976.

Martel and his wife, Gabricle, expecttheir first child in the very near future.He feels this is a good example of thecontinuity of history since hundreds ofyears after the first Canary Islands set-[lers came here to live, another personof Canary Island descent will be born inTexas during our country’s 200th birth-day year.

KoreaDong Han Chang, new Consul in the

Korean Consulate General here, says thatduring his two months in Houston hehas been most impressed by the friend-liness and hospitality of the Texaspeople.

The Houston consular post is Chang’sthird tour of duty in the United States.Following his graduation from SeoulNational University, where he majoredin international relations, Chang enteredthe foreign service in 1959 and was sent

i

Hon. Dong Han Chang

to study international relations atGeorgetown University in Washington,D.C. He then served as Vice Consul from1962 to 1965 at the Korean ConsulateGeneral in Honolulu.

In 1968, he was posted to the KoreanEmbassy in Turkey where he spent ayear as second secretary before servingtwo years as a deputy commercial rep-resentative at the Korean Trade Missionin Beirut, Lebanon.

Prior to his arrival in Houston, Changwas chief of protocol for Division IIof the Ministry of Foreign Affairs inSeoul.

Chang is accompanied in Houston byhis wife and 10-year old daughter, whois attending a local elementary school.He says they plan to take vacations inthe United States during their time hereso that they can "really learn about the

country and gel a feeling for the pe,}td,"and the culture."

As a child, Cllang say~, he ~as in-terested in baseha]l and played withlocal Korean groups. He also followedthe records of the American majorleagues. Before coming to Houston Irisfavorite team was the Dodgers, but nm~,he adds with a diplomatic smile, he’llt, eeome an Astros fan.

El SalvadorHouston’s neu vice consul of E1 Sal-

vador, Mauricio Marenco, arrived inearly June and says he plans to con-centrate on promoting commerce andtourism between E1 Salvador and Hous-ton during his time here.

This post is his first in the k!nitedStates. A natiw~ of San Salvador. Ma-reneo studied international law at theUniversity Autonoma there before join-ing the foreign service.

His previous duties include posts asfirst secretary and Consn] (;eneral inGuatemala City, Guatemala, Santiago,Chile and Managua, Nicaragua. He alsowas Counsellor Ministry in charge ofthe Embassy of El Salvador in Rio DeJaneiro.

For four years in tile 1960’s he sertedas vice-director of the Salvadorean in-ternal revenue and for three years ~asvice-director of the Commerce and In-dustry Office.

Mareneo said he is particularly inter-

;/; illHon. M. Marenco

csted in stinmlating tourism from thisarea to E1 Salvador, and adds that hehopes many Houston residents will travelthere for the Miss Universe Pageantthis month.

His wife and li-year old daughterwill be living in Houston with him. Healso has two sons, one a physician andthe other a cadet at the U.S. MilitaryAcademy at West Point.

At Barbours Cut

Contracts Awarded For Container FacilitiesAs Biggest Cargo Is Loaded On LASH Ship

The Port of Houston’s Barbours Cutfacility was the site of one of the world’sbiggest single LASH ship loadings lastmonth, for what is to become the firsttotally offshore natural gas liquids re-covery plant.

Executives of the Houston Division ofFluor Engineers and Constructors Inc..and Fluor Ocean Services Inc., suhsid-

iaries of the Huor Corporation of LosAngeles, chose Central Gulf Lines’ LASHsystem to carry seven huge equipmentmodules to Southeast Asia. They will beplaced in Indonesia’s Arduna Field,about 90 miles northeast of Djakarta.The modules ranged in weight from 141tons to 308 tons and measured up to 86feet long, 17 feet wide and five storieshigh.

Fluor elected to build the bulk of theArduna Field project in modules in theUnited States and transport them byLASH mother ship to avoid the immenselogistic problems of coordinating fromhundreds of suppliers for on-site con-struction.

Normally, LASH mother ships carryup to 89 specially designed barges foruse in a country’s river system.

Only 27 days after leaving the Portof Houston, the GREEN ISLAND mothership will unload the modules in Singa-pore where they will be placed on bargesand tugs for transport to the remoteconstruction site. Transit time should beabout six days.

Central Gulf Lines, an affiliate ofTrans Union Corp., provides U.S. flagservice between U.S. Gulf and East Coastports to Southeast Asia every 25 dayswith the GREEN ISLAND and her sisterships, GREEN HARBOUR an cl GREENVALLEY.

As the U-shaped LASH pier at Bar-bours Cut was serving as the startingpoint for the module shipment, construc-

Module No. 1 is lowered to the deck of theGREEN ISLAND.

Four of the huge gas plant modules are towedfrom the barge fleeting area to the mother LASHship.

tion was progressing further upstreamon the new Barbours Cut containerwharves Nos. 1 and 2, and the secondLASH berth across the Barbours CutChannel was ready for use. The secondberth, using a system of mooring andbreasting dolphins, was constructed byMid-Gulf Industrial Inc. at a cost of$32O,000.

Construction of the steel sheet pilebulkhead for the two 1,000-foot con-tainer wharves was nearing completionunder the direction of Ausco Corp. con-tractors. Total cost for the piling andbulkhead construction was $3,342,000.

Two Paceco Portainer cranes havebeen ordered, at a cost of $4,630,000,for Container Wharf No. 1 with esti-mated delivery in December of 1976.

The contract for construction of thewharves themselves, at a total cost of$9,786,000, recently was awarded toTellepsen Construction Co., Inc. Feb-ruary of 1977 is the estimated date ofcompletion for the wharves. Site gradingon the two wharves is being done byBrown and Root Contractors at a cost of$1,404,000 and is due to be finished inOctober of this year.

Section One of Crestlane Road provid-ing access to the new wharves is com-plete. It was constructed by Brown andRoot at a total cost of $333,400. Brownand Root now is working on SectionTwo of the road with one part to be

completed in January of 1976 and thesecond part to be finished in August,1976.

When present construction is com-pleted, the Port of Houston’s BarboursCut facility will be able to serve twoLASH ships and two container shipssimultaneously.

i iiii~

As soon as the last module was placed onboard and secured, the ship was ready to departfor Southeast Asian waters.

The modules are pushed into position for theBig John floating crane to lift them aboard.

ACTING ON BUREAU’S PETITION, ICC willreconsider loading free time decision:Acting on a petition filed by the Bureau,the Interstate Commerce Commission willreconsider its order authorizing 24 hoursfree time for loading cars, in lieu of theprevious 48 hours. In its May 22 order, theCommission found that the reduction hadbeen shown to be just and reasonable.The Bureau filed its petition for recon-sideration on June ll. In an order servedJune 20, the Commission ordered that theeffective date of the May 22 order bestayed pending further order of theCommission. In its reconsiderationpetition, the Bureau pointed out (1) thatrailroads had failed to rebut evidencesubmitted by the Bureau and others onimport and coastwise traffic, (2) that theCommission had erred in treating importcargo the same as domestic traffic, and(3) that import and coastwise shipmentsthrough New Orleans and Mobile were subjectto 48 hours free time. The 24 hours freetime became effective April l, 1975,subject to refund if the charge issubsequently found to be unreasonable. The24 hour loading free time will continue ineffect until changed or modified by theICC.

BUREAU FILES EXTENSIVE PROTEST againstUnited States Line’s European mini-bridgetariffs: On June 26, the Bureau filed anextensive protest and petition forsuspension of portions of United StatesLine’s European mini-bridge tariffs. U.S.Lines is attempting to add Houston,Galveston and Beaumont as origin/destina-tion terminals. The Bureau protest allegedthat several Sections of the InterstateCommerce Act would be violated if thechanges were allowed to become effective.

ICC AUTHORIZES X-310 INCREASES onexport import traffic, orders maintenanceof port relationships as Bureau hadrequested: The Interstate CommerceCommission, in an order served May 30,1975, authorized the nation’s railroads topublish a 7% increase in export-importrates, subject however to certain

16

exceptions as requested by the Bureau. OnJanuary i0, 1975, the Bureau filed anextensive petition with the ICC, urgingthat the Commission suspend and investigateprovisions of Ex Parte Tariff X-310 insofaras port relationships would be disturbed.On January 30, the ICC issued an ordersuspending Tariff X-310. In an order servedMarch 24, the Commission authorizedrailroads to publish the increase, withan admonition that port relationships bemaintained. Tariff X-310-A subsequentlybecame effective April 27, 1975 andprovided for no increase on export-importand TOFC-COFC traffic. On April 4th, therailroads requested permission to apply theincrease on export-import traffic. Thispetition was denied. In its May 30 order,the Commission stated that the railroadscould increase export-import rates by 7%with the maximum increase being thatproposed in X-310-A, applicable to/from theport taking the lowest increase. Thisaction is very similar to action requestedby the Bureau, but not granted as far backas October 16, 1972, In Ex Parte 281. TheCommission’s May 30 action is the firsttime that the Commission has upheld theBureau’s position. In future increases,hopefully, the Commission’s X-310 orderwill be followed. The May 30 orderrepresents a significant first victory inthe Bureau’s long-standing fight againstdisruption of port relationships.

ICC VACATES SUSPENSION OF ATSF’S Texas,New Mexico grain rates: The InterstateCommerce Commission action on representa-tios of the Santa Fe, grain interests andthe Bureau, vacated the suspension ofreduced ATSF grain rates from Hatch andMesquite, New Mexico and Canutillo andVinton, Texas to Houston, Galveston, TexasCity and Beaumont. The publication had beensuspended by the ICC, upon protest of thePort of Corpus Christi and Producers GrainCorporation (PGC). The Bureau replied the protests. The ICC will continue itsinvestigation, but the rates will be ineffect. Vacation of suspension is asignificant step forward in the Bureau’sbattle to prevent further equalizationattempts by Corpus Christi.
