ping Co. of Odessa. The Blasco Med-Atlantic Line ran a U.S. East Coast-Mediterranean-Black Sea servicewhile Blasco Gulf Med Line went outof U.S. Gulf ports, again with goodsuccess in Houston. In fact, NortonLilly’s current president, Grove Con-rad, worked in Houston for sixmonths in 1975, establishing theGulf-Med Line.L00KING SOUTH In 1976, Norton Lillyadded Brazil’s state shipping line,Lloyd Brasileiro. They ran servicesfrom three U.S. coasts to ports alongthe Brazilian coast.

Norton Lilly had a secondBrazilian account, the privatelyowned Compania Maritima Na-cional, which ran a service to Brazilout of U.S. Gulf ports. This contractwas severed early in 1991, soon afterNorton Lilly terminated LloydBrasileiro. Norton Lilly promptly ob-tained a replacement client, the Uru-guayan-owned Pan American Inde-pendent Line, serving Brazil arid theRiver Plate.

In line with its current emphasison Latin American business, NortonLilly also represents the ConcordeLine, the Kirk Line and NetworkShipping (the Del Monte Co.), all which serve the Caribbean and Cen-tral American trades. Concorde runsservices from Miami, Houston, NewOrleans, Philadelphia and Fernan-dina Beach to Santo Tomas deCastilia in Guatemala, Puerto Cortesin Honduras, San Salvador in E1Salvador, Managua in Nicaragua andBelize. Network Shipping, thetransportation arm of Del Monte,runs services from Camden, NewJersey, and Savannah, Georgia, toPuerto Limon in Costa Rica, whilethe Kirk Line serves the Caribbean.FAR EAST The Far East trades havebeen part of Norton Lilly’s historysince the late 1920s and continue inHouston today, via the China OceanShipping Co. (COSCO) of Beijing.Norton Lilly’s association withCOSCO extends over the past 10years, and together COSCO and Nor-ton Lilly have developed what hasbecome the 10th-largest liner ship-ping service in the United States. Therelationship between COSCO and

Norton Lilly extends to the NewJersey-based general agency forCOSCO, COSCO North America, a.joint venture between COSCO andNorton Lilly interests.SURVIVING IT ALl. "Certainly the 1980s,particularly the mid-80s, weretougher, more demanding times forthe shipping agency business," saysJohn Griffith, chairman of NortonLilly. "But we have survived nicely.

"Furthermore, while the actualnumber of agents has declined andwhile there has also been a lot ofconsolidation, the big agents like

Norton Lilly will continue in theirindispensable role.

"In the past 20 years or so, NortonLilly has become financially strong-er, has greater sales turnover, repre-sents more lines than ever andstands today as the largest indepen-dent agency on the North Americancontinent," Griffith says. "NortonLilly has had a wave-like history:Once large, it had losses and has hadto rebuild. But we have returned topre-eminence. At 150, the companyis happily on very solid ground -strong, successful and positive!" []

More space on more ships to South America.By reputation, Ivaran has always been the

best line to and from South America. But, witheleven vessels moving back and forth betweenthe east coast of South America and the east andGulf coasts of the United States, we’re also thebiggest line.

And we’re getting bigger still. This year,we’ve completed work on six active vessels, ex-panding their existing cargo capacity by a mini-mum of 300 TEU’s each. By 1992, we’ll have an-

other four vessels with 1700 TEU’s each in service.For you, the bottom line is simple.

Whether you ship from the Gulf coast or the eastcoast, you never have to give a second thought towhat line can meet your delivery schedule.Container or breakbulk cargo, there’s an Ivaranvessel ready and waiting with the space and thesailing that matches your needs exactly. For space,schedule and careful handling, nobody caneven come close.
