May, 1926 MARUiNE RE VIE W 7 A “Record Discharge” 545,000 Board Feet In 8 Working Hours! “What is believed by steamship men to be the greatest dis- charge ever afforded a steamer was accorded the Felix Tausig at Kenna Terminal, Newark, N. J., when it arrived on January 20th, started to discharge at 8:00 A. M. January 21st, and completed her discharge at 3:00 P. M. January 22nd. In eight hours’ work 545,000 board feet were unloaded and bv 3:00 P. M. January 22nd, 525,000 feet more making a total of a million and a half feet discharge in sixteen hours’ work. This was accomplished in spite of the fact that it rained continuously on the first day and on the next day a terrific wind and light snowfall was a deterring factor in the unloading.” The above quotation is from the February issue of Marine News. It illus- trates the sort of economy which Port Newark's scientifically planned layout and superior handling facilities make possible. It also explains why the volume of business passing over the docks at Port Newark is rapidly and steadily on the increase. Port Newark, with its direct access to seven trunk line railroads; its lighterage- free, rail-to-ship loading facilities; its 31-foot channel approach; its 8,000 feet of docks equipped with paved roadways and rail sidings; its sheltered harbor and abundant storage space—within the limits of New York Harbor—is speedily becoming one of America’s foremost seaports. It merits the careful consideration of every shipping executive. Read this book. Every shipping executive should be familiar with it.
