Port DevelopmentBook Published

When Walter P. Hedden retired in1953 as director of Port developmentin the Port of New York Authority, hedecided that the vast experience he hadaccumulated in the New York-New Jer-sey port agency should not be allowedto go to waste. It was then that he begana new career as an international con-sultant in port development.

Within a short time his services werein great demand for there was, andstill is, a shortage of experts in the fieldof preparing harbors for the vast tech-nological changes now under way inshipping.

"Mission: Port Development" is avery informative and readable bookwhich details Hedden’s experiences inaiding many developing ports. It is alsoa usable textbook on a subject in whichtextbooks are scarce. His case historiesabout five of the ports where he had theprivilege of playing a significant ad-visory role are excellent object lessonsin what can be done when good adviceis followed and the unfortunate con-scquences of not following such advice.

Hedden’s book was made possible bygrants from the Ford Foundation andthe Institute of International Education.It was published by the American As-sociation of Port Authorities as a proj-ect to fill a long-existing gap in portliterature.

"Mission: Port Development" is avail-able from the American Association ofPort Authorities, 601 Southern Build-ing, Washin@on, D.C. 20005 at $10 forU.S. and Canadian orders, $11 else-where.

There was a time when the word "cattle-boat"was synonymous with just about the worst in seatransportation. Those days are gone forever withthe advent of sleek carriers such as the M. S.CERES which looks for all the world like a Medi-terranean cruise ship, but instead of vacationersshe carries some 1500 head of cattle bound forChile out of the Port of Houston. The 3100 tonvessel is owned by the Clausen Steamship Co.,Ltd., of Copenhagen, Denmark, is 460 feet longwith a draft of 20 feet, and has a cruising speedof 17 knots. She was built in Hamburg, Germany,in 1965. The Clausen Line has twenty-three otherspecially-built livestock carriers in its fleet andwas founded by Christian Clausen 45 years ago.For more about this big shipment see the storyon Page 14.
