Barbours Cut is known as the Port of Houston’s modern intermodal ter-minal, but several companies have plans to ship cars through the facility.Bob Larson of Gulf Motorships, Inc., said he plans to receive three

shiploads of cars each month. Larson said the company will use BarboursCut instead of the Turning Basin to offload vehicles because cars can beunloaded and trucked out quicker. Larson also said Gulf Motorships willsoon open a modern facility at the terminal for processing the autos.

West Mrica,]947.Thirty-three years ago, when Delta Line pioneered

regular U.S. Flag service from the Gulf to West Africa,there were few developed harbors along the entire3,000-mile coastline from Dakar to Matadi.

Each voyage was an adventure. Our ships wouldsail along the coast and anchor just beyond the surf.Cargoes were loaded onto small boats powered bymen and oars. It was a demanding test of skill andseamanship, an experience not soon forgotten by thecrews of those Delta ships.

Delta helped establish trade with the nations ofWest Africa, and continues to play a vital role in theeconomic development of the region.

Today, we serve the modern ports of West Africawith five purpose-built vessels, that sail frequentlyfrom all major U.S. Gulf ports. These great shipsare backed by an experienced team at home, and anetwork of the best agents on the African continent.

And it’s the same wherever we go in the world-South America, Central America, the Caribbean. In50 countries, on three continents, Delta is committedto service, integrity and excellence.

Port supports changing law onThe Port of Houston Authority has

announced its support of a proposedamendment to the Clean Air Act thatwould allow the federal government toset standards governing steamshipemissions in all U.S. ports. Currently,rules concerning such emissions are leftup to the individual states.

A provision of the amendmentwould classify vessel emissions asmobile, and establish a uniform policyfor vessels calling at U.S. ports.

An Environmental Protection Agen-

cy rule, stayed by court action inSeptember, 198!, had classified steam-ship emissions as stationary. Underthis ruling, vessel emissions would becounted as off-sets against the con-struction of marine terminals. Portdevelopment and growth could beseverely hampered in those stateswhich chose to adopt strict standards.

Federal rules governing aircraftemissions, which are classified asmobile, have been in effect for sometime. Vessels, like airplanes, movefrom area to area and are rarely "sta-

ship emissionstionary" for any prolonged period oftime. A uniform national emissionspolicy would allow our nation’s portsand airports to continue providing thenecessary facilities for the movementof goods and people.

The amendment dealing with vesselemissions was introduced by Represen-tative Phil Gramm (D. Tx.), and wasrecently approved by the Health andEnvironment subcommittee of theHouse Energy and Commerce Com-mittee by a 9 to 3 vote.

and about how a UNIDO office inHouston would be funded.

A UNIDO office initially would bestaffed by three or four persons. Trademissions and trade shows would beorganized by the group to establishnew business contacts.

Before any action is taken, theUnited Nations would like to see theHouston government and businesscommunity accept the idea.

UNIDO offices are operating in NewYork City, Tokyo, Brussels, Paris,Cologne, Zurich and Vienna. IfHouston gets a UNIDO office, itwould be the eighth world city to do so.Mexico City and Los Angeles are nextafter Houston on the U.N.’s list astarget cities for UNIDO offices.

UNIDO’s New York City officereportedly has stimulated in excess of$130 million in new trade and invest-ment during its three years of opera-tions. The UNIDO program wasstarted five years ago in Brussels.
