This is the new era in the company’sevolution.

TRADE ROUTES WIDESPREADThe U.S. services are but links in

C.A.V.N.’s chain of world trade. Aglance at the company’s ports of callindicates an impressive list worldwide.The U.S. services call at Houston andother Gulf, South Atlantic and NorthAtlantic ports.

From Venezuela, the line also servesa European trade, Mediterreancountries, the Far East, and otherLatin American/Caribbean countries.

For example, the C.A.V.N. flag inthe European service can be found atthe ports of Amsterdam, Rotterdam,Antwerp, Hamburg, Bremen,LeHavre, and Bilbao. The Mediterreanservice calls at Genoa, Naples,Leghorn, Marseilles, Cadiz, Valencia,Barcelona, and Malaga, and also callsat Glasgow and Liverpool in the U.K.and Saint John, Canada, andSearsport, Maine.

On the other side of the world theC.A.V.N. logo is a familiar sight atChiba, Yokohama, Nagoya, and Kobein Japan; Keelung and Kaohsiung inTaiwan, Singapore, Hang Kong, andPort Kelang in Malaysia.

Venezuela is blessed with anabundance of deel~water ports and theVenezuelan Line provides a vitalservice to the entire roster: La Guaira(Caracas), Puerto Cabello, Maracaibo,Puerto LaCruz, E1 Guamache,Guanta, Mantanzas, Palua, andPuerto Ordaz.

C.A.V.N.’s vessels carry the goodsfrom its own hemisphere to these far-flung trading partners, while bringinghome return cargo to help fuel theneeds and the economies of Venezuelaand its neighbors.

U.S.A. SERVICE IS LARGESTThe U.S.A. services are the largest,

accounting for half the voyages, halfof the ocean mileage-- 400 voyages and2.2 million miles in 1978 alone.Efficiency in cargo handling,therefore, is vital in these trades. Thenew ships that serve the Gulf areexamples of this.

The M. V. ZULIA, LARA,

in this special rig orethe CARABOBO for

GUARICO, and CARABOBO whichfly the distinctive C.A.V.N. blue andyellow ensign over the Port of Houstonare breakbulk ships designed to havethe broadest latitude in cargoefficiency. Displacing some 25,000tons each, their vessel flexibility isimpressive:

Each has a bale capacity of 800,000cubic feet; five reefer compartments of62,000 cubic feet with a 1,500-toncapacity; liquid bulk tanks carry some17,000 cubic feet, nearly 400 tons or3,000 barrels; and, in addition, eachvessel can carry 144 20-foot containersor equivalents. They have a servicespeed of 16.4 knots.

The GUARICO is the pride of thecompany with a 100-ton self-containedheavy-lift boom. The other three shipshave 60-ton heavy-lift cranes. Tworotating midship cranes on each shiphave a 12.5-ton lift capability, 25 tonseach in tandem, with the 14 remainingbooms capable of handling five to tentons with ease.

C.A.V.N. PEOPLE IN THE GULF

Mr.Haden, who has been Honorary Consul of Norway since 1970, receivedthe award for his "great efforts on behalf of the Norwegian Governmentand for fostering better relations between Norway and the UnitedStates." The Knighthood is the highest honor bestowed by theNorwegian government. The presentation was made at the May meetingof the Port of Houston Commission.

SEABEE. THE ADVANTAGESARE AS BIG AS THE SYSTEM.

The SEABEE system is a result of the Lykesconcept that cargo should be kept in motionfrom the moment it leaves its point of origin toits final destination. And it should moverapidly, economically and safely.SpeedThe three SEABEE ocean carriers are each875’ in length and have a cruising speed of20 knots. This enables them to transit, forexample, New Orleans to Rotterdam in12 days.

ReachIf an inland river port in the U.S. or NorthernEurope can be reached by barge, then it

becomes a seaport for SEABEE. In fact, thereare a total of seventeen major points in theU.S. and North Europe which can be served bythe SEABEE barge system. Add to this theintermodal and mini-bridge systems of rail andtruck or containers, and virtually any place is apoint of origin or destination for SEABEE.VersatilityNo ocean transportation system can matchthe cargo-carrying versatility of LykesSEABEE. Three types of barges: standard

hopper, flat deck and refrigerator are a part ofthe system today. The flat deck is particularlysuited to heavy lifts and oversJzes, having adeck capacity of 8000 pounds per squarefoot. The reefer barges regularly keep citrusfruit in field-fresh condition from the U.S.Gulf to Europe. And the spacious deck of thecarrier will accept over-sizes, heavy lifts andpre-fabs impossible to ship before SEABEE.
