Terminal includes three container berths, LASH dock, ro-ro platform

Container, LASH, ro-ro cargoeshandled quickly at Barbours Cut

Improved facilities and low turnaround times.That is what shippers and ship owners want. And that is

what the Port of Houston Authority’s Barbours Cut Ter-minal offers. The $100 million facility is the most modernintermodal terminal on the Gulf of Mexico.

Located at the head of Galveston Bay, Barbours Cut isjust a short two-hour trip from the Gulf. When a containership navigates the 40-foot-deep channel and docks at oneof the three 1,000-foot wharves, getting that vessel backout to sea as quickly as possible is the No. 1 priority.

With six Paceco container cranes waiting dockside,discharging and loading begins as soon as the ship issecured. Sea-Land Service, Inc. leases one of the wharvesand owns two of the cranes, but Port Authority customerscan use the facilities when Sea-Land is not using them.Four of the cranes have a capacity of 40 long tons eachand the capacity of each of the other two is 30 long tons.One of the 40-ton cranes is equipped with a rotatingtrolley.

Trucks enter and leave Barbours Cut Terminal via nineinterchange lanes, one with a 60-ton scale. Road traffic isprocessed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. A road traffic coordinatorhelps keep the trucks moving. A trucker with the proper

papers can pull into the facility, take on a container and beon his way to the consignee within an hour, under ordinarycircumstances. Trucks lacking proper papers are process-ed separately.

Each container wharf is backed by at least 36 acres ofpaved marshalling area. The Port of Houston Authorityowns nine straddle hoist yard cranes, 30 chassis and 32yard hustler trucks. Stevedores can use the trucks andchassis upon request. Two heavy-duty lift trucks areavailable for moving full and empty containers. A 15-toncapacity lift truck with an expandable spread is on hand forlifting empties.

Containers can be stacked three high in 17 rows. Thetwo public terminals can accommodate 11,465 TEUs and124 reefers. There is space to store 1,500 wheeled unitsand more room will be available by the summer of 1983.Containers are stuffed and stripped by Port Authorityemployees at the 55,000-square-foot Container FreightStation. The station is just one mile away from the con-tainer docks and is easily accessible by the excellent in-traterminal road.

Keeping track of the containers, their exact location inthe yard and their destinations is handled by the Container

Information Control System (CONICS), a computer system.From their offices, shipping agents, via their own computer,terminal and phone line, can query their own accounts tocheck container numbers, destinations and status. Agentscan also update their accounts through CONICS. A totallynew system, the Houston Container Control System(HCCS), will be installed by 1983. HCCS will provide ship-pers with more data than CONICS does, such as billing in-formation.

Barbours Cut is also a prime roll-on/roll-off cargohandling facility. A lO0,O00-square-foot transit shed ser-vices the Cut’s hammerhead ro/ro platform. Barbours CutMarine Contractors, Inc., located at the Terminal, handlesthe preparation of ro/ro cargoes.

The east side of the ro/ro platform, which is 52.5 feetwide, can handle ships up to 450 feet long while the63-foot-wide west side can accommodate any vessel that isnow, or will be, on the seas. An 82-ton mobile crane isavailable for lifting ro/ro and other cargoes. Heavy-dutypaving covers the ro/ro marshalling area.

Barge-carrying LASH and Seabee ships are easily loadedand unloaded at a U-shaped pier. This configuration pro-vides a runway for trucks servicing "mother" ships withself-unloading gear. Storage space for 100 LASH barges isprovided on the north side of the Barbours Cut channel.

An excellent railway system allows for easy overlandshipment of containers and ro/ro cargoes. COFC/TOFCcargoes are handled at the Port of Houston Authority’srailroad ramp point, operated by Southern PacificTransportation Company. Tracks also extend into the ro/rocargo area. Since Barbours Cut is in the Houston Commer-cial Zone, interstate railcar and truck rates are the same asthe rates in the Port of Houston Turning Basin area.

U.S. Customs agents work full-time at Barbours Cut, sothere are no delays in getting Customs officers to examinecargo and get it on its way to the customer.

Fire protection is close at hand. The CAPT. FARNS-WORTH, the Port of Houston Authority’s newest fire boat,is berthed next to the LASH ship dock. A fire station with itstruck and crew is a few feet away.

As if these modern services were not enough, the Portof Houston Authority is improving Barbours Cut even more.Construction of a fourth container wharf is under way witha projected completion date of June ]983. The wharf willbe like the others, 1,000 feet long and backed by 36 acresof paved marshalling area. Two new container cranes willhandle cargo at the facility.

Plans are on the drawing board to expand the TerminalBuilding, possibly making office space available for lease.

Incentive rates are available to large volume users ofBarbours Cut Terminal. Rates for stuffing and strippingcontainers are governed by Tariff 14 and rates for handlingfreight to and from land carriers are in Tariff 8. Break-bulkand ro/ro cargoes are handled at standard Tariff 8 rates.

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.
