Commercial Cartage Moves to New SiteNeeding room to grow, Commer-

cial Cartage Co. Inc. has moved thecompany’s headquarters from itslongtime downtown Houston loca-tion to a larger facility in southeastHouston.

The company’s new address,which became effective April 1, is7{)10 Nelms Rd., Houston, Texas77061. The company’s new tele-phone number is (713) 643-1018,and the Fax number is (713)643-8762.

Commercial Cartage is a trucking,warehousing and distribution com-pan}, established in 1961. The corn-

pany decided to move after recentlegislation expanded the Houstonarea commercial zone to includeeight counties.Wider Customer Base

"The enlarged commercial zoneallows local drayage companies toserve a much wider base of cus-tomers," says Larry Morris, presi-dent of the company. "Additionally,the passage of NAFTA means thatcompanies doing business south ofthe border require inventory storedin Houston. And the softening oftrade barriers with Pacific Rimcountries has dramatically increased

the importation of goods into theHouston area. All of thesedevelopments have had a profoundeffect on our business."

The new facility contains over50,000 square feet, includingrefrigerated and freezer space forchemicals that require stabilization.Now the company has 10 truckbays, compared to three bays at theformer location.

Commercial Cartage posted a 35percent increase in its storagebusiness for 1993. Commercial Car-tage is a customs-bonded carrier.

Arkhangelsk Delegation Visits HoustonA delegation representing

Arkhangelsk, Russia’s oldest port,visited Houston recently, hoping tostrengthen their port’s trade rela-tionship with the Port of Houston.

The visitors were hosted by IMCMaritime Group Inc., a Houstoncompany that ships 90 percent ofall the cargo that moves throughthe Port of Arkhangelsk. While inHouston, they attended a luncheonattended by representatives of theshipping community, oil and gascompanies and other industries withwhich Arkhangelsk hopes to expandits business. The Russians also hadthe opportunity to meet with com-pany representatives individually.

The 410-year-old port ofArkhangelsk is located in northernRussia, where temperatures reach 20degrees below zero and roads areinhospitable to vehicular traffic.Nevertheless, the region is rich withoil fields, and major U.S. oil and gascompanies have been eager to ex-plore the area’s productionpotential.

Gaining AccessMany shippers found it extremely

difficult to gain access to Russianports. IMC, however, visited thePort of Arkhangelsk and reached anagreement assuring the company ofpreferred shipping status. No bank-ing system was in place for the ex-change of currency, so IMC deviseda barter system in which the Port ofArkhangelsk accepted much-neededequipment in lieu of port taxes.IMC became the first company to

operate ice-breaking ships in theregion, making the port accessibleyear-round.

IMC also was the first U.S. com-pany to ship large pieces of oil fieldequipment through Arkhangelsk. In1993, IMC handled $80 million inshipments through Arkhangelsk.Common cargo included pipelines,drilling equipment, processingplants, containers, housing modules,oil field machinery and supplies.

IMC recently hosted a luncheon in Houston for a delegation from Arkhangelsk,Russia’s oldest port. Attending were (from left): Victor Panasjura, SevernayaRailways Administration; Drozdova Galina Fedorovna, Arkhmortek Joint Co.; YuriGrigoriev, Port of Arkhangelsk; Rosie Barrera, Port of Houston Authority; andPrasad Menon and Capt. Kiran Ketkar of IMC.
