Lock failure shows vulnerability of inland waterways system

On Sunday, Sept. 27, Markland Locks and Dam on the Ohio River suff ered a major gate failure. � is couldn’t have come at a worse time with harvest approaching. Taking the lock out of commission a few weeks before its busiest time of year during an already harsh economic environment puts shippers in a tough spot. It is also an indicator of a bigger problem. Our inland river system is in need of infrastructure maintenance and repairs before more failures like this one disrupt our H2O highway. � e U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released the Ohio River Mainstem System Study in 2006, resulting in a plan to modernize and upgrade the Ohio River lock system gradually. Repairs to each lock were prioritized by need so repairs could be made proactively. One part of this massive study found that preventative maintenance is ultimately less expensive – something that shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us.� e Corps looked at the results of scheduled and unscheduled maintenance on the locks. Unscheduled maintenance and repairs, such as this emergency situation, are more costly to government, industry and even consumers.

One of the situations studied was the 2004 McAlpine Lock and Dam closure. Advanced lock deterioration required a two-week repair. � is was in the middle of an ongoing lock construction project, so the repairs completely closed down the Ohio River near Louisville, Ky. � e costs exceeded $9 million, but didn’t stop there. � e Waterways Council looked into things a bit deeper by surveying companies aff ected by the closure. More than 70 percent were negatively impacted. � e results were lost sales, production cutbacks, delay costs and employee layoff s. And in this case, the repairs were even completed ahead of schedule. � e slowed economy already creates a diffi cult work environment but setbacks on the river can really add to the diffi culty. � e Markland lock gates were already scheduled to be replaced in 2011 but the delivery date for new gates has since been moved up to March of 2010. In the meantime, the failed gates are undergoing repair and barge transportation is relegated to the auxiliary 600-foot chamber – roughly half the size of the main chamber. Delays are frequent and extra care must be taken not to damage the smaller chamber. If the auxiliary chamber experiences problems

while the main chamber is under repair, the costs to shippers could be devastating. � is was just one lock out of many that are at risk. According to the Corps, 25 percent of locks on the Ohio River have already been around longer than their design life. Within the next 10 years, the number of outdated locks jumps to 50 percent. More than half of the nation’s 240 locks are over 50 years old. � e entire system is in dire need of additional funding. � e inland waterways system moves about 600 million tons of cargo annually, nearly double the tonnage moving through the Panama Canal. About one third of the inland waterways cargo travels on the Ohio River. While highways are becoming increasingly congested, the inland waterways have plenty of remaining capacity. Consider that each 15-barge tow moves the same amount of cargo as 900 trucks. � e system is one of this country’s most under-utilized assets. To remain a viable and productive asset, it requires maintenance just like our highways do. � e stakeholders of the inland waterways system do have a voice and should communicate the importance of maintaining our inland waterways to our state and federal leaders. Let’s hope this incident is not the beginning of more critical infrastructure failures that might cripple our inland river system.

FROM THE CEO

Rich CooperChief Executive Offi cer, Ports of Indiana

SEATTLE – In an organization made up mostly of deep water offi cials, one life-long river man took the highest honor this year. Art “Junior” Bayer was named the ‘Maritime Person of the Year’ by the International Propeller Club of the United States at the organization’s 83rd annual convention held in Seattle on Oct. 6-9. “Art was chosen as the International Propeller Club ‘Maritime Person of the Year’ recipient on the basis of his lifetime achievements working on behalf of the inland river industry and his role in establishing and supporting the propeller clubs of Paducah and Evansville,” said John Angus, executive vice president for the International Propeller Club of the United States. Bayer, a Mount Vernon, Ind., native, founded Mount Vernon Barge Co. in 1962. Originally starting out as a barge cleaning service, his business expanded over the years to include tugboats, barge repair and switching, a dry dock, fl eeting service, dry bulk cargo stevedoring and 24/7 emergency response service. Despite selling the business to TPG Mount Vernon Marine in 2006, Bayer remains active in the fi eld. According to Angus, eight people were nominated for the award this year. Bayer was the unanimous choice of the selection committee. � e other nominations came from clubs in Florida, Virginia, South Carolina, Washington, California and Maine. “Most of our ports are deep water,” said Jack Cunningham, the regional vice president of the propeller club’s Ohio Valley Region. “� e inland waterways are out-numbered, so Junior winning this award is outstanding and important. He has done many things for the riverways.” � e International Propeller Club works to promote and support maritime commerce. It began in 1922 in New York City with a group of men who met over lunch to discuss the maritime industry. � ey began to call themselves the Propeller Club of the Port of New York. � e idea spread to ports in Boston and New Orleans, as well as Yale University. In 1927, the groups united to form the Propeller Club of the United States. Today, the International Propeller Club consists of 53 ports in the U.S. and 33 overseas. Refl ecting the early involvement of Yale University, the club also includes student ports – 16 in the U.S. and fi ve overseas. Total membership exceeds 10,000. � e International Propeller Club began giving out awards in 1984. In addition to the ‘Maritime Person of the Year,’ the club honors the propeller club ‘Member of the Year’ and propeller club ‘Port of the Year.’ � is year’s ‘Member of the Year’ was Ron Kobosky from the Port of Tampa, Fla., and ‘Port of the Year’ was the Port of Baltimore. Bayer was nominated by the Propeller Club of Evansville, Ind. Prior ‘Maritime Person of the Year’ recipients

Loy with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “When the state was looking for a location for Indiana’s second port, Art was right there campaigning for his hometown of Mount Vernon,” said Ports of Indiana CEO Rich Cooper. “He was our fi rst service tenant in 1976 and has always been a constant supporter for the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon and the inland waterways. It is wonderful to see Art honored for his life-long dedication, passion and respect for the river.” For more information about the International Propeller Club of the United States, visit www.propellerclubhq.com

Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon hosts government visitors Port Director Phil Wilzbacher (below, left) meets with representatives from the Indiana Department of Agriculture to discuss agricultural issues at the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon this fall. Agriculture is a large part of

the port’s business and roughly 35 percent of its annual tonnage. Agricultural businesses at the port include Agrium, Consolidated Grain and Barge, Consolidated Terminals and Logistics Co. and Tri-County Agronomics.

Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita visited the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon on Oct. 30 as part of his annual tour of Indiana’s 92 counties. A native of Munster, Ind., Rokita was elected as Indiana’s 59th Secretary of State in 2002. � e Secretary of State’s offi ce manages four divisions: elections, business services, securities and motorized vehicle dealers.

2009 SUMMIT AND DIRECTORY SHOWCASE INDIANA’S LOGISTICS POWER

LOGISTICSLEADER

State ranks in top 10 for over 30 categories of freight logistics

� e summit also introduced a new service for supply-chain professionals to get their resume in front of potential employers in an online searchable database available at www.indianalogistics.com. “Past summits have proven to provide a fertile networking environment,” Cooper said. “Th at history coupled with recent inquiries from those wishing to attend this year’s event prompted us to create this service. Hopefully this will help put together qualifi ed logistics professionals with companies looking for good employees.” � e summit attracted participants from 10 states and 56 diff erent cities – the largest portion from Indianapolis (45 percent). Approximately 67 percent of attendees came from the business sector, while government and university offi cials each represented about 12 percent and economic development leaders made up 9 percent. � e most well-represented sectors of private industry were: ports, logistics, consulting, engineering, railroad, trucking, agricultural, manufacturing, fi nancial, package delivery, legal, retail, real estate, media, security, staffi ng, packaging and barge shipping. Plans are underway for the eighth annual Indiana Logistics Summit to be held in the fall of 2010. Visit www.indianalogistics.com for updates.

Th e Hoosier state ranks in the top 10 in 33 logistics categories according to the 2009 Indiana Logistics Directory which was unveiled at the state’s September logistics summit. Nearly half of Indiana’s rankings are in the top fi ve and only three other states can claim more than 30 top 10 rankings in these categories. “� e numbers give solid evidence to what most of us already know,” said Ports of Indiana CEO Rich Cooper. “Indiana is clearly a logistics leader.” � e Indiana Logistics Summit and the Indiana Logistics Directory are a part of an initiative by the Ports of Indiana and its partners to increase awareness of the state’s logistics advantages on a statewide, regional and national level. � e summit began in 2003 and the directory was fi rst published the following year. � e 2009 summit was again co-hosted by the Ports of Indiana and Purdue University. Now in its seventh year, the event brings together top offi cials from business, academia and government to discuss how to make Indiana’s transportation, distribution and logistics businesses more competitive and to provide fi rst-hand accounts of how they see the state moving forward in the supply-chain sector. Th e 2009 event featured industry outlooks from all modes of transportation as well as presentations by Indiana Secretary of Commerce Mitch Roob and keynote speaker Ron Foxcroft, a logistics entrepreneur, an NCAA basketball referee and the inventor, manufacturer and worldwide distributor of the most popular whistle on the planet. Speakers addressed the economic downturn head-on with topics like unlocking supply chain productivity and logistics leadership in a tough economy. Eli Lilly & Co.’s Director of Supply Chain Ron Bohl provided an inside look at the company’s complex global supply chain. Lilly must manage 420 dosage formulations in human and animal health

products, each with varying technologies, protection measures and lifecycles made by 21 manufacturing sites and 92 contract manufacturers. “In a downturn, it’s easy to forget about the basics in supply chain processes and all of a sudden stop doing them,” said Bohl. “It doesn’t take much to lose credibility, but it does take a heck of a lot to get it back.” Another popular session covered the importance of infrastructure to logistics. Based around a recent study of agriculture logistics, the session looked at how closing one small town bridge can infl uence a region’s economy. “For Indiana agriculture, transportation infrastructure is vitally important to move our grains and products to market,” said Emily Otto-Tice, director of grain marketing with the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. “It also gives us competitive advantage in the global marketplace. We must be able to maintain and upgrade our transportation infrastructure, which includes roads, rail and waterways, to meet the world’s growing demand for food, feed and fi ber.”

2009 SUMMIT AND DIRECTORY SHOWCASE INDIANA’S LOGISTICS POWER

LOGISTICSLEADER

State ranks in top 10 for over 30 categories of freight logistics

� e summit also introduced a new service for supply-chain professionals to get their resume in front of potential employers in an online searchable database available at www.indianalogistics.com. “Past summits have proven to provide a fertile networking environment,” Cooper said. “Th at history coupled with recent inquiries from those wishing to attend this year’s event prompted us to create this service. Hopefully this will help put together qualifi ed logistics professionals with companies looking for good employees.” � e summit attracted participants from 10 states and 56 diff erent cities – the largest portion from Indianapolis (45 percent). Approximately 67 percent of attendees came from the business sector, while government and university offi cials each represented about 12 percent and economic development leaders made up 9 percent. � e most well-represented sectors of private industry were: ports, logistics, consulting, engineering, railroad, trucking, agricultural, manufacturing, fi nancial, package delivery, legal, retail, real estate, media, security, staffi ng, packaging and barge shipping. Plans are underway for the eighth annual Indiana Logistics Summit to be held in the fall of 2010. Visit www.indianalogistics.com for updates.

Th e Hoosier state ranks in the top 10 in 33 logistics categories according to the 2009 Indiana Logistics Directory which was unveiled at the state’s September logistics summit. Nearly half of Indiana’s rankings are in the top fi ve and only three other states can claim more than 30 top 10 rankings in these categories. “� e numbers give solid evidence to what most of us already know,” said Ports of Indiana CEO Rich Cooper. “Indiana is clearly a logistics leader.” � e Indiana Logistics Summit and the Indiana Logistics Directory are a part of an initiative by the Ports of Indiana and its partners to increase awareness of the state’s logistics advantages on a statewide, regional and national level. � e summit began in 2003 and the directory was fi rst published the following year. � e 2009 summit was again co-hosted by the Ports of Indiana and Purdue University. Now in its seventh year, the event brings together top offi cials from business, academia and government to discuss how to make Indiana’s transportation, distribution and logistics businesses more competitive and to provide fi rst-hand accounts of how they see the state moving forward in the supply-chain sector. Th e 2009 event featured industry outlooks from all modes of transportation as well as presentations by Indiana Secretary of Commerce Mitch Roob and keynote speaker Ron Foxcroft, a logistics entrepreneur, an NCAA basketball referee and the inventor, manufacturer and worldwide distributor of the most popular whistle on the planet. Speakers addressed the economic downturn head-on with topics like unlocking supply chain productivity and logistics leadership in a tough economy. Eli Lilly & Co.’s Director of Supply Chain Ron Bohl provided an inside look at the company’s complex global supply chain. Lilly must manage 420 dosage formulations in human and animal health

products, each with varying technologies, protection measures and lifecycles made by 21 manufacturing sites and 92 contract manufacturers. “In a downturn, it’s easy to forget about the basics in supply chain processes and all of a sudden stop doing them,” said Bohl. “It doesn’t take much to lose credibility, but it does take a heck of a lot to get it back.” Another popular session covered the importance of infrastructure to logistics. Based around a recent study of agriculture logistics, the session looked at how closing one small town bridge can infl uence a region’s economy. “For Indiana agriculture, transportation infrastructure is vitally important to move our grains and products to market,” said Emily Otto-Tice, director of grain marketing with the Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. “It also gives us competitive advantage in the global marketplace. We must be able to maintain and upgrade our transportation infrastructure, which includes roads, rail and waterways, to meet the world’s growing demand for food, feed and fi ber.”

Making lime “green”Carmeuse Lime & Stone leads efforts to reduce green house gases

E n v i r o • F o c u s

By Pedro A. Maiz, Corporate Process Engineer Carmeuse Lime & Stone � e lime industry, like many others, generates green house gases. But working to reduce those emissions and be environmentally responsible has been part of the Carmeuse culture for years. � e company has committed to reduce its energy usage 9 percent by 2012, and a large percentage of Carmeuse’s products are also used to better the environment in other industries, such as fl ue gas desulphurization for power plants or removing contaminants in water treatment. In September, the EPA issued new regulations that require many industries to start tracking and reporting green house gas emissions. Carmeuse is ahead of the game since it has been voluntarily tracking CO2 emissions since 2002. In order to further reduce emissions, Carmeuse has focused on reducing fossil fuel consumption by using more alternative fuels and making processes more effi cient. � is requires everyone in the company to be involved and, in many cases, new capital has been invested to make processes more fuel effi cient. Carmeuse’s environmental initiatives include: · Alternative fuels that reduce waste going into landfi lls · Switching processes to natural gas which emits less CO2 than typical fossil fuels

· Using biomass fuels to reduce our carbon footprint · Burning waste fuel that has less CO2 content than coal · Burning cocoa shells from chocolate manufacturers, sawdust and oil impregnated fi lter fl uff · Using alternative fuels for driers at quarries/sands plants and biodiesel at underground mines � e implementation of alternative fuels can be a challenge but Carmeuse is committed to increase its use at all facilities. � e lime industry will not be able to completely eliminate green house gases but Carmeuse is taking responsibility and putting great eff orts to reduce them. Another way that Carmeuse has taken environmental responsibility is by creating a team to inform employees about green house gases. � e training focuses on reducing emissions at work and home. Carmeuse believes that everyone should be informed about how their actions impact the environment and the future. � e culture of the company has always held environmental concerns and safety as its highest priorities.

Carmeuse Lime & Stone provides high-quality lime, limestone and in-dustrial sand products for diverse applications in steel manufacturing, utilities, construction, water/waste treatments and other industries throughout the U.S. and Canada. It has a network of 35 plants, in-cluding one at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor. www.carmeuse.com

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. – � e Ports of Indiana commission heard updates on river shipping and the Markland Locks and Dam repairs at its Oct. 22 meeting in Jeff ersonville City Hall. � e commission also approved a new Foreign-Trade Zone framework and awarded funds for warehouse repairs at Burns Harbor. Eugene Dowell, operations manager for locks and dams with the Louisville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, reported that the broken lock gate had been retrieved from the river bottom and was in the process of being repaired, but no timetable has yet been established for getting the main lock working again. New gates were scheduled to be installed in 2011, but that construction process has been accelerated by nine months. Matt Smolek, the new port director at the Port of Indiana-Jeff ersonville, made a presentation to the commission about the economics of the inland waterways system, as well as the environmental and safety benefi ts of waterborne transportation. In Ports of Indiana business, the commission approved the submittal of an “Alternative Site Framework” application for Foreign-Trade Zone #152 at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor. � is new designation, recently created by the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones board, allows zone grantees, such as the Ports of Indiana, to streamline the application process for companies applying for FTZ designation. � e commission also awarded $56,604 to Larson Danielson Construction Co. of LaPorte, Ind., for roof repairs to the dry bulk warehouse building at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor. � e project will repair steel roof panels that are showing signs of corrosion.

� e largest producer of barium sulfate products in the world, Cimbar Performance Minerals, has joined the family of businesses at the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon. In October, the company acquired previous port tenant Barretts Minerals Inc.’s multi-mineral processing plant and all associated business operations. In addition to barium sulfate products, used in the industrial, pharmaceutical and paint industries, Cimbar produces magnesium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, iron oxide and other industrial minerals. With this acquisition, Cimbar has added talc and new calcium carbonate product lines, including Barretts Minerals’ trademarked Ultratalc®, a highly pure form of talc used in food, pharmaceuticals and body powders, as well as Microtuff ® and Microtalc®, both used in automotive and appliance parts. According to company offi cials, no products will be discontinued at this facility but new products from the Cimbar line will be added to production with emphasis on the talc lines. � e port location will join Cimbar’s other U.S. production facilities located in Postosi, Mo., Chatsworth, Ga., Houston, Texas, and Cartersville, Ga., also home to the corporate headquarters. With the recent acquisition, Paul Householder was named plant manager of Cimbar Performance Minerals. A native of Reed, Ky., he started at Barretts Minerals in 2003 in automation controls. Most recently, Householder was Barretts’ maintenance manager.

Port shipments ahead of 2008 � rough October, year-to-date tonnage at the port is up nearly 23 percent over 2008’s fi gures. It has been a solid year for steel, with shipments now fi ve times higher than this time last year.

� ere have also been signifi cant increases in coal (45 percent) and minerals (23 percent). We expect overall tonnage for the year will end up about 18 percent above 2008.

Sally Denning joins port staff I’d like to introduce a new face in our offi ce. Sally Denning joined the port as administrative assistant in October. She is a familiar face around the area thanks to her work with the Chamber of Commerce of Southwest Indiana-Posey County and the Posey County Economic Development Partnership Inc. Denning graduated

from Mount Vernon Senior High School and studied economic development at Ball State University. She and her husband Phillip have been married for 25 years and have two sons, Nathanial, 21, and Austin, 13. Denning is an active member of Point Township Church of the Nazarene. Her economic development experience and extensive community knowledge will be a great addition to our team.

In September, a 220-ton cancer-fi ghting cyclotron made its way from Belgium to Warrenville, Ill., by way of the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor. Currently, there are only six facilities in the nation using this type of proton therapy equipment. Measuring 8-feet-high and 18-foot in diameter, the cyclotron traveled from Antwerp to the port on a cargo ship operated by Fednav. � e port regularly handles unique project cargoes with mobile cranes that have 185-ton lift capacity. � e cyclotron was moved in two pieces on 19-axle, 180-foot-long trailers and traveled at a top speed of 40 mph for the 130-mile trip to Illinois. � e cyclotron uses proton therapy for cancer treatment as an alternative to traditional radiation. With traditional radiation, healthy tissue near the cancer can be damaged. Proton therapy can be much more specifi c in delivering treatment. Not only can this beam of treatment be adjusted for a specifi c depth, it also can be shaped to conform to a tumor’s distinct size and shape, minimizing damage to healthy cells. � e cyclotron will be part of the new Central DuPage Hospital Proton � erapy Center, just outside of Naperville, Ill. A partnership between the hospital and ProCure Treatment Centers, the 60,000-square-foot facility is set to open in the spring and the cyclotron should be treating patients by early 2011. � e new cancer facility will be capable of treating 1,500 patients a year.

Hoosier Healthcare under new ownership Port tenant Hoosier Healthcare Northwest is under new ownership. I’d like to welcome new owner Don Kiger, who took over the facility in the spring. Don comes from a diverse business background in sales, management and marketing that includes both the healthcare and automotive industries. He plans on building on Hoosier Healthcare’s reputation of occupational medicine, wellness and urgent care with personalized service. He’s expanded the business to include a new location in Valparaiso and has partnered with Fagan Pharmacy on an in-pharmacy clinic. Hoosier Healthcare has also started a new program called “Health eAccess.” Designed for those with no health insurance or

those with a high deductible, the program allows unlimited urgent care visits for a monthly fee.

Promotions at Federal Marine Terminals After 35 years at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor, Vic Klancer has been promoted to general manager of Federal Marine Terminals (FMT) Milwaukee. He has been a fi xture here since 1974, working with six diff erent companies, including Tri-State Terminals, Burns Harbor Terminals and Jack Gray Transport. His most recent position was FMT’s operations manager. Ken Peterson has stepped in as FMT’s operations manager at Burns Harbor after serving as vessel superintendent since 2007. A 2000 graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Peterson started with FMT right out of college with positions at the Albany, N.Y., and Milwaukee terminals before coming to Burns Harbor.

Measuring 8-feet-high and 18-foot in diameter, the cyclotron traveled from Antwerp to the port on a cargo ship operated by Fednav. � e port regularly handles unique project cargoes with mobile cranes that have 185-ton lift capacity. � e cyclotron was moved in two pieces on 19-axle, 180-foot-long trailers and traveled at a top speed of 40 mph for the 130-mile trip to Illinois. � e cyclotron uses proton therapy for cancer treatment as an alternative to traditional radiation. With traditional radiation, healthy tissue near the cancer can be damaged. Proton therapy can be much more specifi c in delivering treatment. Not only can this beam of treatment be adjusted for a specifi c depth, it also can be shaped to conform to a tumor’s distinct size and shape, minimizing damage to healthy cells. � e cyclotron will be part of the new Central DuPage Hospital Proton � erapy Center, just outside of Naperville, Ill. A partnership between the hospital and ProCure Treatment Centers, the 60,000-square-foot facility is set to open in the spring and the cyclotron should be treating patients by early 2011. � e new cancer facility will be capable of treating 1,500 patients a year.

Hoosier Healthcare under new ownership Port tenant Hoosier Healthcare Northwest is under new ownership. I’d like to welcome new owner Don Kiger, who took over the facility in the spring. Don comes from a diverse business background in sales, management and marketing that includes both the healthcare and automotive industries. He plans on building on Hoosier Healthcare’s reputation of occupational medicine, wellness and urgent care with personalized service. He’s expanded the business to include a new location in Valparaiso and has partnered with Fagan Pharmacy on an in-pharmacy clinic. Hoosier Healthcare has also started a new program called “Health eAccess.” Designed for those with no health insurance or

those with a high deductible, the program allows unlimited urgent care visits for a monthly fee.

Promotions at Federal Marine Terminals After 35 years at the Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor, Vic Klancer has been promoted to general manager of Federal Marine Terminals (FMT) Milwaukee. He has been a fi xture here since 1974, working with six diff erent companies, including Tri-State Terminals, Burns Harbor Terminals and Jack Gray Transport. His most recent position was FMT’s operations manager. Ken Peterson has stepped in as FMT’s operations manager at Burns Harbor after serving as vessel superintendent since 2007. A 2000 graduate of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Peterson started with FMT right out of college with positions at the Albany, N.Y., and Milwaukee terminals before coming to Burns Harbor.

In January, the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board introduced a new designation available to grantee’s, such as the Ports of Indiana. � e “Alternative Site Framework” (ASF) designation makes the application for expansion of FTZ sites much easier. As you may know, foreign-trade zones are restricted-access areas that are considered outside of U.S. Customs and Border Patrol territory. Companies within FTZ sites may be entitled to reduce or delay the payment of customs duties on foreign products brought into a zone, thus making the company more cost-competitive with overseas facilities. As grantee for three FTZs – #152, #170 and #177 – Ports of Indiana will have greater fl exibility in adding new companies to each of its zones using the ASF. Once an ASF application is approved, companies within the multi-county service area may take advantage of the ASF designation. Previously, this was regulated to areas within the port or a few select areas nearby. With the establishment of each zone’s service areas, the ASF designation and its streamlined application requirements, companies can be added to an FTZ within approximately 30 days. Previously, the application process for the expansion of a zone took about a year from start to fi nish. One of the fi rst steps required for application of the ASF designation is the establishment of the zone’s service area. A requirement for inclusion in the service area is adjacency to a customs port of entry. � rough the customs ports of entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection enforce import and export laws, federal government regulations and immigration policy. � e adjacency requirement is defi ned as being a site within 60 miles or 90-minutes drive time from the port of entry. � e Port of Indiana-Burns Harbor’s customs port of entry is located at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. � e Port of Indiana-Jeff ersonville and the Port of Indiana-Mount Vernon ports of entry are Louisville and Owensboro, KY-Evansville, Ind., respectively. � e service areas will be made up of individual counties that meet the adjacency requirements and each of these counties must approve its inclusion in a zone’s service area.

One of the new changes the ASF designation brings is time limits for activation of a zone site. Before, there were no time limits. For existing zone sites, there is a fi ve year limit on magnet sites if no portion is activated. For new individual expanded sites, the time limit for activation and utilization of the zone site is three years. If these deadlines are not met, the site will lose zone status. However, the ASF designation provides that a site’s zone status may be reinstated within 30 days. Currently, the Ports of Indiana is in the process of fi ling an ASF application with the U.S. Foreign-Trade Zones Board for Burns Harbor. Applications for Mount Vernon and Jeff ersonville ports will soon follow.

� e eff ects of the recent failure at the Markland Locks and Dam illustrate the importance of our inland waterways. � ese 12,000 miles of commercially navigable channels and 240 locks serve 38 of the 48 mainland states. Barges serve not only the industrial and agricultural centers within the nation’s borders, but also distribute imports and exports from gateway ports on the Gulf Coast and the Great Lakes. More than 584 million tons are shipped annually on the inland waterways. Coal is the largest commodity on the riverways, making up 33 percent of the tonnage followed by petroleum (27 percent), crude materials (19 percent) and agriculture (12 percent). Chemicals and manufactured goods each comprise less than 10 percent of cargoes. Within the inland waterways, the Mississippi River moves 40 percent of all cargoes while the Ohio River is nearly as busy with about 32 percent. � e Gulf Intracoastal handles 16 percent and the Tennessee and Illinois Rivers move 7 and 5 percent, respectively. � e benefi ts of moving cargoes on the inland waterways go beyond economic. Transporting freight by water is the most energy-effi cient method. Barges can move one ton of cargo 576 miles per gallon of fuel. A rail car would move the same ton of cargo 413 miles and a truck only 155 miles. Another environmental benefi t of water transportation is the reduction of highway congestion. A single 15-barge tow can move the equivalent of 900 truckloads and unlike current highways, our inland rivers have much capacity for growth. Inland waterways transportation is also the least dangerous mode by injury record when compared to rail or truck. For each injury involving barge transportation, there are 125 injuries related to rail and 2,172 truck-related injuries.

When goods are moving smoothly on the riverways, it is easy to overlook the signifi cance of the inland waterways system. Yet when infrastructure breakdowns happen, it becomes clear that the impact reaches far beyond the maritime industry – it also aff ects business, the environment and society.

New face at Idemitsu Port tenant Idemitsu has a new vice president and general manager of administration. Nobuyuki Onishi is charged with overseeing the lubricant processing plant and business at the Port of Indiana-Jeff ersonville. Onishi has been with Idemitsu for nearly 25 years. Prior to accepting this assignment, he was senior manager of planning and coordination of overseas operations. He arrived from Tokyo

in July to assume his new role. Onishi said his plans are to double the production and sales of the Jeff ersonville facility within the next fi ve years. Idemitsu is a world leader in lubricants, petroleum and energy production and is working to enhance its presence in North America. When not working, Onishi enjoys cooking traditional Japanese food, reading and playing golf. His wife, Ikuko, and twin 13-year-old sons, Naoto and Takuma, continue to reside in Tokyo while he is here building the Idemitsu business.
