As the tug made its way past State Pier and up tothe shipyard, the Governor, who was making his thirdtrip to the port o New London in the past year, took inthe vast potential o this deepwater port. Upon arrivingat the yard, the tug docked alongside the company’slarge dry-dock where the Governor was greeted byabout 30 employees and a large banner that read“Governor Malloy, thank you or supporting our jobs.”The Governor shook hands and took time out or photoswith the employees and received an update rom theWronowski’s on the work being done to expand thedry-dock, currently in the larger dry-dock a ter beinghauled a ew weeks ago. The dry-dock is split in hal andawaiting new mid and end sections to both widen andlengthen the dock. The pre abricated sections were tiedup to an adjacent pier. The Governor was also shownwhere dredging will soon commence to enlarge the
ootprint or the newly expanded dry-dock, along withthe other planned dredging at the yard. A ter about 20minutes, the Governor boarded the tug or the trip backto the erry terminal.
Thus ar, the project has resulted in almost 20 new jobs and more are expected as the yard expands itswork capacity.
Thames Shipyard per orms repair and maintenanceservices to commercial vessels all along the easternseaboard and has been owned by the Wronowski’s
since 1967.
Governor Malloy SupportsConnecticut’s Maritime Industry
At the October 28th Bond Commission Meeting, thecommission members unanimously approved Item No.3 (DOT) allocating the $1.8 million or Grants-in-aid or“improvements to ports and marinas, including dredging and navigational direction, provided $1,000,000 shallbe used to conduct a study o the strategy or economicdevelopment in the New Haven, New London andBridgeport ports.” The unds will be used to nance Phase1 o studies or the dredging site disposal designation o the Eastern Long Island Sound disposal site or dredgedsediment. This project will include data compilation,oceanographic, economic and archeological studies andsedimentation characterization and tissue chemistry.
A Tale o Two Maritime Placesby Mr. Donald B. Frost, Deputy Editor
In between oreign trips when I was sailing as a ship’so cer I worked as a cargo mate or Grace Lines andGrace Lines Terminal (Pier 57 on the west side o Manhattan at 17 th Street). Although we didn’t know itat the time, this was the swan song o the break bulkliner business. The ships, although larger, were mostly o World War II design updated with better accommodations,cargo gear and tted with re rigerated cargo capacity. NewYork’s harbor was humming with activity.
Below the passenger terminals around 42-46 th streetthe west side o Manhattan was home to U.S. Lines,Grace Lines, Holland America Line, United Fruit Line andothers that escape my memory. The tip o Manhattanas it meets the East River had Brazil’s NETUMAR andother Lines. The Brooklyn side piers (Brooklyn MarineTerminal and Red Hook Terminal) were very active. Therewere thirty or more berths between the Erie Basin and
the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Ships requented StatenIsland’s Bush Terminal and the New Jersey berths romthe Bayonne Army Terminal (or MOT B) to West New Yorkhad ship tra c. All this is gone. Why?
Most o the NY piers were owned and/or operatedby either the bi-state Port Authority o New York and NewJersey (a.k.a. the PA) or the NY City Dept o Marine andAviation. As the period I outline above was ending cityplanners were struggling with the growing populationo New York, and the contest or land use betweenthe piers and terminals, housing, recreation, retail
and commerce in general. This was Robert Moses’nest hour and it was his vision, driven by the need tomove tra c through Manhattan that probably spelledthe demise o shipping in Manhattan. Port plannersrecognized that shipments were becoming bigger andthe method o cargo handling had to change. This wasthe idea that was soon to be containerization.
There was also a political battle brewing between theCity’s Dept o Marine and Aviation and the PA over whichorganization would be the lead planning agency or the port.

I am told that the PA wanted to move most o the port’s cargooperations to New Jersey where there was better access torailroads as well as the new New Jersey Turnpike. The Citybalked and the PA acted. The emergence o containerizationshortly a terward sealed the ate o New York’s piers.
Containerization is great or moving a lot o cargoquickly at reasonable cost, but it requires a lot o space.Space to receive the boxes be ore they are loadedaboard a ship, space to receive the boxes that are onthe arriving ship, space to store the arriving boxes be orethey are picked up, space to segregate import and exportcontainers, space or trucks, space or gates through whichthe trucks will pass while their paper work is processedand space or security inspections. I am probably orgettinga ew other space needs, but the ones listed here justspeak to the needs o the boxes.
The ships need space also. They need places to anchor,to turn around, to take on uel and/or per orm minor repairs.O course they need places to dock the ships also knownas berths. The berth needs o containerships are ar moretime sensitive than those o the old break bulk liner shipsI sailed. The key to the success o containerization is thetotal transportation system and its ability to keep cargofowing. A slow down or stop doesn’t only cost ship time, butalso stevedore labor time, truck and driver time, “checker”(paper processing) time, rail inter ace time, and a greatlyundervalued expense --- the time-value o inventory in-transit.Add the cost o ships’ pilots waiting, the cost o tug boatswaiting, the cost o security and cargo inspection regimes
waiting. It is the cumulative cost o all these unctions thatmakes having a berth available immediately upon arrival soimportant. That usually means to assure berth availabilityon arrival more than one berth is needed or each service orcarrier. That is --- more port space is needed.
Manhattan doesn’t have this space and New Jerseydoes. Is there a lesson here or Connecticut? Space isnot the only issue in evaluating the viability o a containerport, but it is certainly among the rst considerations.The demand or service and cargo volume is probably themost important.
