ONE TtIING TH’(F is appreciated by any port includingespecially tile Port of Houston--is a steamship line

that has enough ships of the right kind and a schedulingof sailings that allows a flexibility for shipper, port, agentand all else concerned.

One such line, much respected, is Barber Lines.Said Barber Steamship Lines, Inc. President E. J. Barber

in an interview recently, "Barber Lines is a ’total shipability’company ~and) there is a tremendous adxantage in this typeof service for the shipper."

’l’h~. llart,’r 1An~’ head explailn,d in New York that "Totalshipability is much more than just having the ships. Theremust be the capability at all times to provide the shipperu ith the proper type of vessel to do the job expected.

"Availability and capability go hand in hand at BarberLines, integrated with proper scheduling to allow the shipperthe flexibility he needs to meet his customers’ demands.

"Behind all this," continued Barber, "is people, for makingit work requires a network of transportation experts to adviseshippers on the best method of preparing cargo fo shipment,including suitability of packing, warehousing, truekloadingand unloading practices, risk of carriage and all properdocumentation.

"Barber Lines’ 36 modern ships provide these completeand efficient advantages as they ply world-wide trade routes."

Barber conceded that this is, of course, no more or lessthan the type of quality maritime service any good steamshipcompany should offer. Barber officials say, however, the factremains that relatively few actually do. They point out thatBarber Lines began its service 88 years ago with this concept(of full service) and proudly maintain that is why theircompany continues to be a leader in its field today.

The Port of Houston, as an example, is a key and growing

port city by the beslL standards, they say, and here, at thenation’s third largest port, 11 Barber Lines ships call on aregularly scheduled basis. This is roughly one-third of theBarber fleet.

Barber Lines has increased its Houston service to worldmarkets from 6 ships in 1960 to 11 in the present schedule.This represents a 50~ increase in sailings, and a correspond-ing increase in tonnage carried. The ships regularly callingat Houston include the M/S TAMPA, TORTUGAS, EGDA,TORONTO, TUGELA, TEESTA, BRONXVILLE, TOREA-DOR, BONNEVILLE, TIJUCA and BOUGAINVILLE.They are in the 10,000 DWT class.

Barber Lines cargo service from and to the port of Houstonis truly worldwide comprising the Far East and Middle EastOutbound services and South East Asia, Far East, RedSea/Middle East and East Africa on the Inbound service.

The Port of Houston agent for Barber Lines is Biehl andCompany who have served the line for many years.

Two years ago, when the joint operating company knownas Barber Lines, A/S, made up of the Norwegian ship-owningfirms of Wilh. Wilhelmson, A. F. Klaveness and Fearnleyand Eger was formed, there were already far-visioned fleetmodernization plans in the works.

First of these pla~s was the placement of enlarged sideports to facilitate more direct loading of unitized cargo viafork lifts on the pie:r and in the ship. This type of cargohandling on an intermodal basis is highly efficient and ac-complishes considerable cost savings, even as much as 35%for shippers. From a handling point of view, cargo is lesssucceptible to damage, due to safe stowage techniques similarto those in a modern warehouse.

Barber Lines management has followed through with therapid extension of these cargo handling techniques by joining

Side ports in all Barber Lines ships make possible direct linear cargohandling from pier to ship an efficient reality.

with six other lines to form tile Unit Load Council. Thisassociated effort has found the answer to keeping shippersup-to-date as to the efficiency and direct economic advantagesto be realized through unitizing cargo. Barber Lines VicePresident, Bobert H. Pouch, is Chairman of the Unit LoadCouncil for 1971.

Anolher aspect of the Barber Lines continuous programof modernization has been its ship jumboization programrecenlly completed. This ambitious 10 million dollar programsaw the conversion of eight modern conventional vessels intosemi-container ships. The conversions took place at the Mit-subishi Heavv Industries and the lshikawa-Jima HarimaHeavy Industries, Japan, and Taikoo Dockyard, Hong Kong.

Says President Barber, "Due to this conversion program~e now have a more tlexible service than ever to offer inthat we can accommodate all types of shipments: not onlypalletized or unitized cargo, reefer, break bulk and liquidc~r other I,ulk cargo, but now we can efficiently handle upto 160 containers per vessel. The jumboized ships are fittedwith sections that accommodate I.S.O. containers of both20 and 40 feet, and in addition containers can be carriedon deck."

Barber continues ;;The container sections are provided~ith cell guides which offer the most up-to-date way ofhandling containers at minimal risk of damage. Containercranes have been fitted over the new sections on all theconverted ships to facilitate mid-stream or offshore ]oadingwhere the ports do not have adequate shore cranes or dockingfacilities."

Barber Lines future in the Port of Houston is assured asthe demand for their "Total Shipability" services is keepingpace with the growth of what is now this country’s thirdlargest general cargo port.

Heavy equipment is loaded easily by Barber Lines ships laecause theyhave cranes capable of handling most cargo, regardless of shoresidefocilltles.

Barber Lines ships were jumboized in only 27 days per vessel. The projectconsists of bringing a ship into dry dock, cutting her in half, slidingthe bow section forward and inserting a new center section. A palletized cargo moves directly aboard this Barber tlnes vessel.
