Business Must Look For New Markets

EXPORTBy Larry

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT. tO many it would appear, isdoing all in its power to discourage U.S. exports of bothgoods and services with its restrictive tax laws on earningsoverseas, its attempts to eliminate the DISC Corporation,and its Congressional attacks on productive, private in-stitutions, such as O.P.I.C. (Overseas Private InvestmentCorporation) which have been paying their own way foryears, and helping U.S. exports.

Congress even seems in the mood to cripple the WorldBank which like most commercial banks is self-supportingand is making a profit, by cutting American investmentcapital or by tying strings to it in ways that the World Bankcannot accept.

These actions and more have been building for years, andhave, in this writer’s opinion, greatly contributed to ourpresent negative balance of payments, primarily as apsychological disincentive to small and medium sized firmswho have a wide variety of products they can export, to evenget involved in what might appear to them to be... "toocomplicated and expensive a system for their ownoperation." This is shown by statistics that reveal that onlysix per cent of U.S. manufacturers are actually engaged inforeign trade and that 80 per cent of all our trade is handledby some 200 companies. It is also shown by our continuingtrade deficits.

The U.S. needs to export its goods and services, becauseone out of eight jobs is now dependent on overseas business.One acre out of three of U.S. farmland is tied to the exportmarket, and we must earn foreign exchange to balance ourtrade deficits.

Europe and Japan, for example, are making strongchallenges to what were once traditional U.S. markets, in anumber of areas where our technological superiority andproduct quality were once thought to be the best.

It is first of all extremely important, therefore, thatmanagement accept the premise that it can compete, that ithas something to offer, and then put this belief into actionby incorporating it into its overall marketing strategies.

This can be done very simply and inexpensively by adop-ting the proper perspective and procedures for accom-plishing its own particular corporate goals.

Two suggestions are offered here:¯ Become aware of what is available through such agen-

cies as the Department of Commerce, participate in some oftheir "Export Management Workshops" and attend.tradeshows where similar products are displayed. Houston is par-ticularly favored in having a very active dynamic and helpfulDepartment of Commerce office.

¯ Look for opportunities to participate in the export fieldby acting as a sub-contractor to larger firms who are alreadyactive and involved in this area.

Mr. Lang is President of Techs-Port, Ltd., a firm that promotes thetransfer of technologies to the second and third world, handles the ex-port management of medium technology companies and acts as acatalyst for resource development.

G. LangNot only is this a good learning experience, but it also

limits your risk and exposure as well. This permits smallcompanies to earn while they are still learning and obser-ving, without too much concern for their own corporatesafety.

Perhaps a bit of philosophy is required at this time. It isextremely important for companies to begin, no matter whatthe level of commitment, for there is no really right time. Aspart of the incorporation of a small company a few yearsago, a select mailing of 200 letters was sent to prospectivecustomers overseas.

It was interesting to observe that productive responseswere not realized till a year and a half after they were ac-tually sent. In fact, we are just now beginning to profit fromquotes that were sent two years ago. If a company waits tillthe right time the powers of positive procrastination may infact prevent anything from happening.

Marketing research also resulted from this brief exposure,due to the feedback we received from several areas of theworld, which not only helped us in the competitive pricingof our products, but also indicated some possible productchanges for our domestic line as well.

WHILE THE U.S. IS THE WORLD’S LARGEST exporter,it has also been correctly labeled the most indifferent aswell.

Our recent deficits or shortfall in the U.S. trade account,which is likely to be repeated for the foreseeable future, in-dicate a serious further erosion in our ability to compete inthe world arena, all of which in the end will increase ourown cost-of-living, cost us jobs and increase inflation rate.

This change is not due to traditional economic factorssuch as the cost of labor capital, or productivity, because weare more competitive than ever now; rather it is due to theattitude of private business as a whole, and the anti-exportpolicies of this administration which have caused a seriousplunge in the U.S. dollar.

Private business, particularly small to medium sized com-panies, can no longer wait for a signal from our government,but must do as they have always done: assume more respon-sibility for promoting, exports, or the time will come wherea combination of:[] our present negative policy on exports,[] traditional economic factors,[] lack of solid contacts and international business contacts,[] over-regulation by various government agencies,[] even more competition from Europe and Japan will in the

end so erode our competitiveness, that we will not be able toexport.

That time, fortunately, has not come, however, butwe inprivate business must assume more of the burden, and ac-tively look for areas where our products are wanted andneeded.

Small business can export, can be competitive, and canrealize both increased earnings and product knowledge bybecoming part of the world market-place.

The Hellenic Pride lies at berth with the Houston skyline in the background.

Hellenic Lines’ Newest Ro/RoAnother milestone in the history of

one of the world’s last personally-owned steamship lines was passed thismonth when the M/V HELLENICEXPLORER made her first call at thePort of Houston’s Barbours Cut Ter-minal.

Hellenic Lines Ltd. Of Piraeus,Greece, took delivery of the vesselfrom Sasebo Heavy Industries ofJapan in June. Two sister vessels, theHELLENIC INNO VA TOR andHELLENIC VALOR will begin servicein the next four months. When all threeships are operational, the line will offerservice approximately every threeweeks from Houston to the ports ofJeddah, Dubai, Dammam and Kuwait,and will call Bandar Shahpour on in-ducement.

The multi-purpose Ro/Ro and con-tainer vessels are 625 feet long with abeam of 93.5 feet. Each will displace23,537 d.w.t. Underdeck heights varyfrom 17 feet to 20.5 feet. The shipsfeature an internal ramp and threecargo elevators, one of which can han-dle up to 160 tons.

Entry into the vessels can be by gan-try crane through the weather decks orby the 116 foot long slewing rampwhich swings 40 feet port or starboard.Container capacity of the vessels is

10

1,107 teu’s including 60 refrigeratedcontainers. When used for transpor-ting automobiles, the vessels can carrya total of 1,407 passenger cars.

In planning these new ships, HellenicLines followed their traditional prac-tice of making sure that the ships fit thecargo and the service. This philosophystems from the experience of the color-ful founder, president, and generalmanager of Hellenic Lines, Pericles G.Callimanopulos.

"Mr. Calli," as he is affectionatelyknown to his employees, is,the son of aGreek customs house broker. His firstjob, in 1911, was with an import-export firm in Alexandria, Egypt, buthe soon returned to Greece to work inan agency for a foreign liner service.Mr. Callimanopulos served in theGreek Army during World War I, andfollowing his service determined tobecome a shipbroker. His first vesselwas a 15 ton sailing ship named theVALKYRIE. He continued his agencywork and became a coal merchant for afew years with his own depot, lightersand tugs. In 1922, he purchased his firstseagoing vessel and two years later ad-ded a second ship to his small fleet.

In 1935, Mr. Callimanopulos formedHellenic Lines Ltd. and began offeringregular service between the Black Sea,

the Mediterranean, London and Nor-thern Europe. Three years later he hada fleet of eight vessels, all of themflying the Greek flag and manned byGreek officers and crews. The nextyear, all Greek ships were conscriptedinto war service. During hostilities,seven of the eight Hellenic ships werelost to enemy action.

Shortly after the war, the companywas re-established and the remainingvessel was put back into service in theEngland/Europe/Mediterranean trade.Mr. Callimanopulos came to theUnited States and purchased fiveLiberty ships from the U.S. govern-ment. He established a service from theU.S. Atlantic Coast to theMediterranean which was, at that time,the only liner service from the UnitedStates to Greece.

Confident that the company wouldprosper, Mr. Callimanopulos placedorders for four 6,000 ton vessels torelieve the Liberty ships in that trade.

Hellenic Lines today operates 39cargo vessels which have regular ser-vice from the Black Sea andMediterranean to Northern Europe;from the Mediterranean to South andEast Africa; from the U.S. East andGulf Coasts to the Mediterranean, RedSea, Persian Gulf, Pakistan, India, Sri

Although the company’s head of-fices are in Piraeus, Mr. Calli-manopulos himself has lived andworked in New York for many years.Hellenic Lines also maintains offices inHouston and New Orleans, and has af-filiated companies in London andHamburg.

True to his image as one of the "lastgreat shipping tycoons," Mr. Calli-manopulos continues to take a per-sonal interest in every phase of hiscompany’s operations and instills asense of loyalty in his employees andthe seamen on his ships.

He is reluctant to discuss his age, buta company publication indicates thathe was born in the early 1890’s. Heexercises every day, is an avid swimmerand hunter, and took a daily horsebackride until a broken leg forced him outof the saddle three years ago.

Mr. Callimanopulos maintains astrict 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. regime at hisManhattan office, and conductsbusiness by telex from his Connecticuthome on weekends. He has served asan advisor on shipping to the Greekdelegation at the United Nations, andhas been honored many times by theGreek government.

The life and timesof Mr. "Calli" arereflected in thegrowth of his big,personally-ownedcompany.

OBSERVATIONS OF THE HOUSTON PORT BUREAU

F.M.C. ISSUES WHARFAGE DECISION: The FederalMaritime Commission in a decision served June 8. 1978. inDocket 77-47. In Re: Far East Conference Amended TariffRule Regarding the Assessment of Wharfage and OtherAccessorial Charges, has ordered the Far East Conference toshow cause why a proposed tariff change relating to theassessment of wharfage charges was not lawful This caseinvolved a proposed tariff change by the Far EastConference, which would have changed the steamship linessystem of assessing port charges, i.e.. wharfage at the Northand South Atlantic ports. The current system of assessingwharfage, is for the steamship lines to absorb wharfagecharges at the North Atlantic and South Atlantic ports and notpass this wharfage on to the customer However. in this case.the Far East Conference was attempting to amend their tariffto eliminate this absorption: however it was protested to theFederal Maritime Commission and the F.M.C. ordered theFar East Conference to show cause why proposed changeswere not lawful. This practice in the North Atlantic and SouthAtlantic ports differs from the practice at the Gulf ports wherethe wharfage charges are assessed against the shipper and arenot absorbed by the steamship lines, even though many ofthe ocean rates are equalized.

COMMERCIAL ZONE MAY BE EXPANDED: TheTransportation Division of the Railroad Commission of Texasin response to a petition filed by several trucking companies.the Houston Cartage Association. the Houston Port Bureau.the Houston Chamber of Commerce, Houston WarehouseTransfer Association. and Retail Merchants Association ofHouston, is instituting a rule-making proceeding to considerwhether or not it should amend regulations defining thegeographical area comprising the Houston CommercialZone. The proposed amendment would expand thecommercial zone at Houston to include within such zone allunincorporated areas within 20 miles of the corporate limits ofthe City of Houston and all of any other municipality, anypart of which is within the 20 mile limit. This expandedcommercial zone on intrastate would be the same as iscurrently applicable in connection with the interstate andforeign transportation. This grant extension as proposedwould remove this discrimination which is inherent in thepresent difference between state and interstate regulations.

COMMISSION TO REOPEN GRAIN CASE: The InterstateCommerce Commission in an order served June 20, 1978,Docket Number 36491, (Sub. No. 1), Wheat. Oklahoma andKansas to Texas Gulf Ports. has decided to reopen this case.This case stemmed from a petition filed by the Port of CorpusChristi and Producers Grain Corporation concerning reducedcarload rates on grain and grain products from Oklahoma andKansas to various Texas Gulf ports, except Corpus Christi, inwhich the Bureau participated. This case was originally

12

decided in favor of the Port Bureau. in that the Commissionruled these rates were non-prejudicial and non-preferential.However subsequent to the Commission’s decision, theFrisco Railroad. the originating carrier, received concurrencefrom the Missouri Pacific Railroad and extended the protestedrates to Corpus Christi. This filing of equal rates to CorpusChristi however, technically made the case moot by removingprejudice to that port. However. the Commission isconcerned that in the recent series of cases dealing with portequalization policy for the Texas Gulf ports in which similarconcurrences have also been filed, technically mooting thesecases, the Commission feels that the legal questions are~’continuing and capable of repetition, yet evading review." Itis felt that a decision by the Commission in this case willrepresent current and future Commission policy in this area.The Commission will decide in this case whether a so-called"good faith" test, in other words, a ruling by the Commissionthat where joint rates are involved and the railroads areunable to extend these rates to ports other than those whichare served direct because of inability to decide on fair andequable divisions with the connecting railroads, no ruling ofpreference or prejudice will be made if the Commissiondecides the originating railroad has made an offer of goodfaith divisions to the connecting railroads, will be a fair rulingon preference or prejudice petitions. The Port of CorpusChristi and Producers Grain. Inc.. have taken this case to theU.S. Court of Appeals. however the filing of briefs and anyaction by the court has been postponed for approximately 90days in order to have the I.C.C. decide on the merits of theso-called "good faith" test. The Bureau continues toparticipate in the court proceedings.

RoLL BACK RATE INCREASES: The InterstateCommerce Commission. on June 29th, in Docket NumberEx Parte 343. Nationwide Freight Rates and Charges - 1977.has ordered the nation’s railroads to cut back freight rates onseven commodity groups and refund the difference in the oldrates and the new rates to shippers of those commodities. It isestimated that approximately 25 million dollars which thecarriers have collected since November 10, 1977 will berefunded as overcharges.This decision is expected to save shippers nearly 50 milliondollars in lower rates. The railroads were ordered to cut backthe rates on the following seven classes of commodities, from5% on sodium alkalies. 2% on industrial gases. 3% onsulphuric acid. 3% on natural or synthetic rubber, 3% onman ufactured iron or steel and 3% on recycleablecommodities. The Commission claims that the investigationson these commodities developed from findings that the rateson these commodities looked to be already highly profitable.The Commission claims the railroads should not be permittedto use their need additional revenues by applying general rateincreases which are already high unless increases on thesecommodities are separately justified.

Architectural plans are beingprepared for a 100,000 square foottransit shed for consolidation and tem-porary storage of Roll on/Roll offcargoes at the Port of HoustonAuthority’s Barbours Cut Terminal.

The 200 feet by 500 feet shed will be ¯constructed in the area between theRo/Ro platform and the U-shaped ¯LASH pier at the terminal. The plansinclude a new bulkhead to be built infront of the shed. A new barge dock ;0

eventually will be constructed on thesite. ¯

The transit shed will have aminimum clearance height of 20 feet, ¯

with doors on the east and west wallsmeasuring 24 feet wide by 20 feet high. ¯A loading dock will run the length ofthe south side of the building. A rail ¯spur connected to the railroad leadtrack at the terminal will serve the ¯loading dock and rail connections maybe extended to serve the water side ofthe structure when the barge dock is

¯

completed. ¯The shed will feature a 40 foot strip ¯

of heavy duty paving running the mid- the Ro/Ro platform.dle length of the building for use in The Autho~’ity’s Engineering Depart-handling heavy lifts. Fork lifts with a ment estimates that construction of thecapacity of up to 30 tons will be able to shed should begin in January, 1979,work on the special pavement, with completion expected next sum-

A 150 feet wide paved strip will mer. Cost of the transit shed, pavingsurround the shed and will connect and bulkhead will be approximatelywith the paved marshalling area behind $4.8 million.

Bank And SavillHeadquartersMoved Here

Following the successful inaugu-ration of the Bank and Savill Line’sU.S. Gulf-Australia-New Zealand-Car-ibbean service on January 1, it has nowbeen decided to establish the AmericasRegional Head Office in Houston.

This will be located within the of-fices of Strachan Shipping Company at1400 Cotton Exchange Building.

According to Alistair M. MacNab,

U.S.A. Director of Bank & Savill,John Gately of Strachan’s has beenappointed as General Manager and willhead the Bank & Savill Division andco-ordinate the line’s activities at theirnew Houston office.

Strachan will continue to act asagents for the line at Gulf ports and atinterior cities while the New Yorkagents, Boyd, Weir & Sewell, will beresponsible for sales and marketingwith Greg Ciggelakis designated as thearea line manager.

This move to Houston is categorizedby MacNab as one brought about bythe ever-increasing importance of theso-called "Sun Belt" states to the lineas well as the continuing expansion ofshipping activities in Mexico, CentralAmerica, Venezuela, Colombia andthe Caribbean island nations.
