Former Skippers Honor OHieAfter 23 Years on ChannelIn his 23 years as a crew member of two Port of Houston

inspection vessels Ollie O. Cheairs has met a half a millionpe~ple, traveled a distance equal to six trips around the worldand helped east off and tie lip his ship nearly a thousandtimes.

It was June 1st of 1951 that Ollie signed on the first SAMHOUSTON, a racy, 83 foot wooden-hulled former CoastGuard Cutter which the Port had purchased and put intoservice as an inspection vessel two years earlier.

In the intervening years Ollie Cheairs has really seen them"come and go" as he has served under five skippers. At a spry69 years, which he completed June 9th, Ollie doesn’t have agray hair in his head and can do the work of c:rewmen youngenough to be his grandsons.

SAM HOUSTON I carried 60 passengers and usually madeone trip a day, down to the San Jaeinto battleground andback for a 30 mile circuit. But as the Port grew and Houstongrew, more and more visitors came to make the trips and seethe burgeoning international trade complex. The old SAMHOUSTON was sold and today’s newer, larger, steel-hulledSAM HOUSTON was designed and built by the Port Au-thority.

Christened the end of July, 1958, it was the first and stillis the only inspection vessel huilt, maintained and operatedfree of charge by any Port in the nation for the sole purposeof taking visitors on inspection trips of Port and Ship Chan-nel facilities. She began making two-a-day trips, carrying upto 100 passengers each trip, and short,’ning most trips to a 20mile circuit going as far down channel as Greens Bayou.

Her log books show an average of better than 550 trips,more than 10,000 passengers and more than 11,000 milestraveled each year. And as Ollie Chealrs made these tripsover the years he saw princes and presidents, amhassadors,cabinet ministers, other high-ranking civilian and militaryofficials from overseas, domestic lmsiness leaders, thousandsupon thousands of school children and other thousands of justplain visitors from all over Houston, Texas, tht’ United Statesand the world.

"There are people who have conic aboard in recent yearswith their children who rememher me from when they madethe trip, themselves, as children," Ollie recalls.

All of his former skippers, as well as his present one, wereon hand June 28th when Ollie Cheairs threw his last line andmade fast for the last time. Each of them had seen some seg-ment of the Port’s dramatic development over the 23 yearspan of Ollie Cheairs’ service, but the veteran Cheairs wasthe only one who had seen it all.

OIlie O. Cheairs, third from left, stands proudly displaying his plaqueof the Port of Houston with the five captains under whom he served in his23 years on the SAM HOUSTON. They are, from left to right, Capt. Robert

Houston Pilots PresentPlaque T,o Dispatcher

There ha~e been a lot of changes on the Houston ShipChannel sinc:e 1930, and August A. Fretwell has seen themall in his years of working in and around the Port of Houston.

His most recent job was as night relief dispatcher for theHouston Pilots Association, a position he held on "an ahnostfull-time basis" from 1959 until a few months ago. When heretired, the Pilots showed their appreciation to him for hisenthusiasm and hard work by making him an honorary pilotand presenting him with a treasured ship’s clock and plaque.

Fretwell began work in the U.S. Customs Service in Gal-veston in 1920, working up through the ranks tmtil trans-ferring to the Houston service in 1930 as an inspector, a joblie held until 1957. In I959 he went to work for the Pilots.supposedly in a relief capacity as dispatcher, but those whoworked with him said he would come around even when noton duty just to see if he could help in any way.

C. F. Johnson, agent for the Pilots, said his recent retire-ment was a bl~w to all of them. hut to make him knm~ houmuch tie is missed they gaxe him the clock and plaque. Theinscription reads :"Captain Augie" Fretwell, Honorary Houston Pilot, For yearsof loyal and dedicated service in helping to ser~ e the needs ofHouston’s gateway to the World.

New Chemical TankersIn European Service

A new chemical tanker service, utilizing two of the mostsophisticated and modern tankers in the world, is now offeringthree-week turn-around service to the Port of Houston.

The M/T CARBO SIERRA and M/T CARBO STRIPE areoperated by the tanker division of the Carbonit Group withheadquarters in Brussels and offices in New York and Hous-ton. Carbonit America, Inc., which opened offices in NewYork in 1972, is a wholly owned subsidiary of B. V. CarbonitAmsterdam. The Houston office opened in January of thisyear specifically to facilitate movement of the two new tank-ers and other smaller tankers owned by the company that maybe calling at the Port of Houston.

Carbonit itself was founded in Amsterdam in 1937 as ageneral solvent distributorship offering a full range of chemi-cal and petroleum products, shipped mostly in barges anddrums. The first chemical vessel purchased by the companywas the HAVJARL which began moving simple aromaticsolvents between Rotterdam and the U.S. Gulf in 1951..

Ben Pollner, president of Carbonit America in New York,says that the HAVIARL may have been a forerunner of themodern, specially coated tankers because she had previouslybeen used to ship animal lard. Her tanks were thoroughlysteam-cleaned before being put into use for chemicals, butthe steam simply polymerized the lard onto the sides of thetanks.

The SIERRA’s engine room boasts some of the most modern equipment onthe seas.

Mustard-colored CARBO SIERRA plies the waves between Rotterdam andthe U. S. East and Gulf Coasts.

An inspector was called in to determine if the tanks wereusable for chemicals and he admitted that the baked-on lardcoating was perfect for protecting the tanks from rust andproviding easy cleaning. That first vessel was half the size ofthe CARBO SIERRA and had only one pump room and fourpumps.

In comparison, the CARBO SIERRA, built by EriksbergMek. ¥erkstads shipyard in Gothenberg, Sweeden, and ownedby Saga Shipping group of Oslo, Norway, is designed in ac-cordance with the expected 1977 IMOC regulations for carry-ing chemical and other related products.

She is about 558 feet long with a DWT of 33,950 metrictons. Thirty-six grades of cargo can be safely segregated intanks varying from 300 cubic meters to 2300 cubic meters.These tanks are fully coated with the latest epoxy and zincsilicate compounds and are serviced by sixteen acid proof,stainless steel pumps. There are three centrifugal pumps witha capacity of 900 tons per hour, two steam driven pumps of350 tons per hour, and two steam driven pumps of 250 tonsper hour. These seven pumps serve the main tanks.

In addition there are nine steam driven pumps separatelyserving the trunk tanks. All cargo and heating lines are fabri-cated of stainless steel. The vessel is equipped with return vent

lines, a closed gauging system and a unique automatic mcr-tlo~v control. There is also a computer on board which greatlyassists the officers in cargo layout. ’]’he vessel, of course, isdouble bottomed ~Qlich allows for the carriage of sophisticatedchemical products.

The SIERR4 flies the Norwegian flag and is classed Nor-x~c~ian Veritas + IA1. Her sister ship, M/T C~4Rt30 STRIPEwas launched from the Eriksberg yard in mid-May. Both ves-sels will bc dedicated to the transatlantic chemical and parceltrade. They will be engaged primarily in a triangular servicebetween l{otlerdam and United States East and Gulf Coasts.

These vessels are designed for maximum flexibility ]:or theproducts carried, which includes gasoil, naphtha, and chemi-cals westb(mnd to the United States and then loading petro-chenlicals, petroh,um solvents and products eastbound forEurope after intermediale cleaning.

In addition to the S1L’RRA and the STRIPE, Carbonit’stransportation activities are supplemented by six additionalvessds. T~o chemical tankers of 3,000 I)WT are engaged inthe European coaster trade but occasionally call in the UnitedStates. These ~essels have four stainless steel center tanks andeight wing tanks of dimetcote 4.

Each tank is served by its own individual pump and thereis a separate vent system for each tank, closed gauging sys-tem and remote temperature control. The balance of fourvessels range in size from 20,000/25,000 DWT and are trad-ing worldwide in the transport o[ clean petroleum productssuch as naphtha, gasoline and fuel oil.

The Carbonit Group is one of the world’s largest inde-pendent, integrated chemieal/petrolcum product transporta-tion and marketing firms. The company, with current opera-lions in ten countries in Europe and the Western hemisphere,had a turn over in 1973 of approximately $200 million.

In the United States, Carbonit America, Inc. maintains of-flees at 375 Park Avenue, New York, New York, and at 1770St. James Place, Houston. Texas. Agents for the vessels in theU. S. Gulf are Texas Transport and Terminal Co., Inc.

Among those present for the CARBO SIERRA’s maiden voyage plaquepresentation were, left to right, James R. Crocco of Houston, executive vicepresident of Carbonit America; W. R. Cook, Port of Houston’s western salesmanager; Frederick Shaw, representing the Houston Jaycees; Capt. JohnSolberg, master of the vessel; Jan Bouwens, vice president of shipping ofthe Carbonit Group; and Ben R. Pollner of New York, president of CarbonitAmerica.
