PORT OF HOUSTON MAGAZINE

PORT OF HOUSTON Authority Commissioners last monthawarded $25 million in Port Authority revenue bonds to asyndicate managed by White Well and Co. for a net interestcost of 5.76%.

The last time the Port Authority issued revenue bonds wasin 1965.

Sale of the bonds followed a visit to New York by threePort Authority representatives, three Houston-based fiscaladvisors, and Harris County Auditor Grady Fullerton. TheHouston team met with executives of rating agencies whomake evaluations of the quality of credit for such bonds.

Presentations were made to Standard and Poor’s Corp.and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. Following the presen-tation, Standard and Poor’s increased the quality of thePort Authority’s bond rating from A to A plus.

Standard and Poor’s explained the increase in rating bysaying that "important factors in our determination of therating were good operations and good security provisions,the strength of the metropolitan Houston market andeconomy, and the availability of the limited tax foroperations."

County Auditor Fullerton noted that the low rate of in-terest was "indicative of the high confidence the investingpublic places in the growth of the Port of Houston and thiscommunity."

I. c.c. Nvo’s BARRED FROM JOINT RATES: TheInterstate Commerce Commission has declared that freightforwarders and non-vessel operating common carriers(NVO’S) are not allowed to offer international through ratesjointly with railroads, trucking companies or domestic watercarriers that are regulated by the Commission. Freightforwarders are barred by law and court decisions fromoffering this serwce the L C. C. has ruled, while NVO’salthough functioning similarly, are not recognized by theI. C. C.. but only by the Federal Maritime Commission. Thismeans, if the Commission lacks statutory authority for I. C. C.regulated forwarders to enter into international through rates,a regulated forwarder would need only file a tariff with theFederal Maritime Commission and become simultaneously anNVO which would therefore render valueless any I. C. C.certificate issued to the forwarder: and would leave the I. C. C.unable to make sure the shipping public is protected and thatthe carrier is able to perform the service it is supposedlyoffering. This decision has been appealed to the U.S. Courtof Appeals in Washington, D.C. by IML Freight. [nc.

PROPOSED SECTION 15 RULES ATTACKED: TheFederal Maritime Commission has attempted to implementnew regulations expediting the processing of Section 15Agreements. but a large group of ocean ship conferences andparties to rate agreements have stated that the new rules areseverely inadequate. The ship lines recommended that theCommission review the entire procedure for processingSection 15 Agreements, which require that the Commissionshall act on agreements between conferences.

CONFERENCE TO EXPAND: The Pacific Coast EuropeanConference has received conditional approval from theFederal Maritime Commission allowing it to expand itsjurisdiction on inland rates, services, and practices in Europeand the British Isles. This means that Conference members

Petition seeks an adoption of such rules that are inexistence probable for domestic movement which are notbeing adhered to in the present intermodal filings.

F. M c REJECTS LYKES APPEAL: The Federal MaritimeCommission upheld the Administrative Law Judge’s decisionin which Lykes had filed a complaint against the Far EastConference mini-bridge operators, offering mini-bridgeservice which was assigned FMC Docket No. 76-13. It wasconcluded that the Conference members should not beprevented from competing with each other or the conferenceitself by separtely providing services not encompensed by theConference Agreement. Furthermore. competition is notactionable even if all the conference members are unable tooffer the alternative service in question.

PORT RATE RELATIONSHIPS REVIVED: With fourCommissioners dissenting, the L C. C. has found that reducedrates on Wheat for export from 42 Santa Fe origins in NorthCentral Oklahoma and 6 points in South Central Kansas toHouston, Galveston, Beaumont and Texas City, Texas havebeen shown to be just and reasonable, consistent with theanti-preference and anti-prejudice prescription of Section 3(1) of the Interstate Commerce Act and not in violation

LIFE FLIGHTTexas Medical Center Is Five Minutes A way

From Port of Houston By Helicopter AmbulanceBY JERRY BROWN

IN THE HOUSTON metropolitan area

catastrophic injuries are an everydayoccurrence.

There are increasing numbers of ac-cidents and industrial mishaps. Manytimes critically injured victims must betransferred to the Texas Medical Cen-ter for additional, more sophisticated

treatment not available at the accidentsite.

Time is a crucial factor. A fewminutes could mean the differencebetween life and death.

As Houston grows and as thefreeways become more and morecrowded the transfer time takes ongreater importance.

Transfer of an accident victim fromparts of the Port of Houston area tothe Medical Center could take morethan an hour on the streets during peaktraffic periods.

To meet this growing problem,Hermann Hospital, a cornerstone in-stitution in the Texas Medical Center,has established a comprehensive, 24-hour a day emergency medical air tran-sport service which will make callswithin the Port complex and a 130-mileradius of Houston.

"Life Flight," as the program iscalled, provides helicopter transpor-tation for seriously injured or criticallyill patients to any hospital of thepatient’s choosing if there are landingfacilities available. If not, then they goto Hermann and can be treated there ordriven to another hospital.

Staffed with a medical doctor andregistered nurse, the two-patienthelicopter can respond to calls withinfive minutes and can arrive at any Portfacility in the Turning Basin areawithin five to seven minutes.

Instrumental in making the speedyservices available to the Port are WileyGeorge, West Gulf MaritimeAssociation; Louis F. Brown, Port

Manager of Marine and Fire Safety;John Self, Coordinator of FlightOperations for Hermann, and L.O."Whitey" Martin, District Chief of theHouston Fire Department.

Life Flight is a private operationfunded and operated by HermannHospital. There is no charge to be af-filitated with the service, but if serviceis needed there is an initial $70 chargeand an additional $2 per mile plus anymedication administered during theflight.

Emergency helicopter service wasstarted in Houston in the mid 1970’s byDistrict Chief Martin. Chief Martinearlier had tried to get the 273rd ArmyReserve Unit stationed at Tomball,Texas activated as a Military Assistan-ce to Safety and Traffic (MAST) ser-vice, with no success.

While attending a workshop inColorado, he met Barney Green, VicePresident of Marketing for RockyMountain Helicopter, Inc. of Provo,Utah. At that time, Rocky Mountainwas operating a "Flight for Life"helicopter service for St. Anthony’sHospital in Denver.

After seeing the success of thatoperation, Chief Martin invited Greento Houston to discuss a similar chop-per service with Hermann officials.

At first the officials at Hermannwere a little reluctant since hospitalstraditionally only treat patients whileothers transport them to the hospital.

However, after several trial runs inmid-May of last year to Freeport and

Brazoria County, the hospital’s boardof trustees approved the program foruse in the Houston area.

Originally, the Hospital leased thehelicopter for a three-month feasibilitystudy to determine the need for andeconomics of operating a full-time airambulance.

On August 1, 1976, at 7 a.m. thehelicopter ambulance went into ser-vice. At 9:30 a.m., they received theirfirst call.

By mid-March, the air ambulancehad made 364 trips carrying 371 in-jured patients of all ages to a variety ofmedical facilities within the 130-mile

radius. This included several runs tothe Port complex. One run involved aninjured man at the Bulk Plant onGreens Bayou, another a massive car-diac arrest case aboard a ship, andanother a burn victim at the Brown andRoot faciltiy.

A check with various specialists inemergency medical services in HarrisCounty found that most were en-thusiastic about Life Flight.

Hermann is using an Alouette-319-B, an extremely dependable French-made helicopter which cruises at 120miles per hour. It is the same craft usedsuccessfully in the Denver emergencytransport program. The pilots areveteran helicopter commanders whoflew in Viet Nam. The chopper presen-tly averages 50 runs a month.

Port Security and Safety officialscan utilize the helicopter in conjun-ction with ground transport. Emergen-cy medical technicians responding tothe scene can request that the chopperbe placed on "Standby Alert" if theyanticipate the need for quick transport.

Ambulance dispatchers or Port of-ficials wishing to place such an alertshould contact Life Flight by calling797-HELP. The chopper does notrespond to private calls and must berequested by Port officials, law enfor-cement officers, the fire department orambulance dispatchers.

Additional helicopters may beneeded as Houston grows, but undoub-tedly speed of transport, and gettingdoctors to the scene, has become amajor factor in saving lives.

Urges Action On RebatesCharles J. Hiltzheimer, Chairman of the Board of Sea-

Land Services, Inc., testified as the first industry witnessbefore the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on the Mer-chant Marine. He announced a proposal for remedying thedeficiencies in U.S~shipping law concerning the problem ofrebating.

His proposal called for the prompt establishment of aU.S. commission or committee to visit nations with whichAmerica trades and to seek their agreement to treat therebate problem in an equitable and mutually acceptablemanner.

Mr. Hiltzheimer’s recommendations were made inresponse to the growing need for realistic solutions to theproblem of malpractices in the shipping industry. Becauserebating is legal in most other countries, U.S. flag carriershave been placed at a competitive disadvantage with foreignlines by existing U.S. law which does not effectively reachforeign carriers.

Mr. Hiltzheimer believes that a committee as such willserve to reduce malpractices by minimizing the incentivesand advantages of rebate practices.
