Houston, Texas 77008713/869-8789

This company has earned an excellent reputation indeveloping unique marketing techniques to satisfy theirclients needs. In contrast to most NVO’s whose servicesare limited to consolidated container movements toEurope, S.A.hL. SHIPPING SYSTEMS has developed a fullrange of cargo transport services to Europe, Africa,South America, the Caribbean and the Middle East. Theuniqueness of S.A.I.L.’s services is that it not only offersa rapid, efficient consolidation program to these areas butit also acts as a carrier for fully containerized andbreakbulk cargoes (not consolidated) to over thirtyforeign ports.

S.A.I.L. SHIPPING SYSTEMS can provide oceancontainers and chassis to shippers anywhere in theUnited States through its various lease and purchaseequipment agreements with several equipment leasingfirms. S.A.I.L.’s domestic capabilities include warehousereceiving terminals in Montreal, Chicago, Houston,Miami and New York. Internationally, the company isrepresented by several major steamship agents who en-joy worldwide recognition.

S.A.I.L. issues its own ocean bills of lading, and a tariffdescribing its rates and services is on file in Washington,D.C. (available upon request). The company also pro-vides particularly high liability protection on all cargoeshandled within its system, the limits of this coverage ex-ceed $1,000,000.00 on any one vessel.

S.A.I.L.’s marketing system produces 80% of thecompany’s revenues through freight forwarders fromevery area of the country. The balance of revenues isderived from shippers or suppliers who contact S.A.I.L.directly for solutions to complicated cargo movements orproject type cargoes that require extensive logisticalstudy. S.A.I.L.’s task is the same for all of its clients; pro-vide a fast, reliable and yet economical alternative to thepresently available steamship services so that the for-warder and his shipper can profitably compete in a priceconscious market. S.A.I.L.’s marketing team constantlyresearches and then develops new trade routes and

systems in an ever changing market. The companyutilizes its large cargo volume to negotiate a lower rate ina particular trade zone, or, in many cases, provides itsown equipment in order to induce a rate reduction fromregularly scheduled lines. The President of the Com-pany, Robert Robotti, was recently requested by DuPontg Co., in Wilmington, Delaware to address a large groupof the company’s traffic and management executivesabout his company’s services and the art of the NVO ingeneral. In Mr. Robotti’s presentation, he stressed theterm "market intelligence" as the key element in the suc-cessful NVOCC service. The ability to translate customerneeds into viable alternatives is the object of this marketintelligence. S.A.I.L.’s staff constantly develops pertinentinformation about industry-wide pricing and routing pat-terns through a worldwide communication network of in-dustry professionals: ship owners, charter brokers, ship-pers, forwarders and other carriers. The S.A.I.L. staff isdedicated to offer solutions to companies who require thetotal option of all available pricing and routing alter-natives.

S.A.I.L.’s staff is comprised of several professional ex-ecutives who are assigned the position of "LineManager", whose responsibilities include management ofmarketing and operations for their line’s services.

Bob Robotti specializes in General Projects andMarketing for the Middle East and Mediterranean areas.Martin Kavicky acts as the Line Manager for Africa andSouth American services.

CAT’s worldwide network includesoffices in France (worldwide head-quarters, Paris), Belgium, Spain, Iraq,Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Mexico, Braziland Venezuela. In the U.S., other officesare in Detroit and New York.

CAT, a complete transport servicecompany, is a wholly-owned subsidiaryof Renault, the French auto manufac-turer, which is currently heavily involv-ed with several Mexican projects. CAT-USA was established in 1980 andoperates as a fully licensed freight for-warder and customhouse broker.

In addition to providing services tothe general transport market, theHouston office is expected to facilitatethe movement of material to the first ofthe Renault projects, an engine plant inGomez, Palacios, Mexico.

period about 100,000 tons of cargo, fac-tory equipment, as well as engine com-ponents, is expected to move fromEurope to Mexico. Preliminary reportsindicate that a large portion of the cargoshould pass through the Port ofHouston.

Port of Houston Authority tradedevelopment staff members workedclosely with CAT and Renault ex-ecutives in New York, Paris and MexicoCity before Houston was chosen, both

as primary port for the project and asthe office location.

Segura said Houston was selectedbecause of the port’s professionalism,facilities, experience in container handl-ing, and location, which allows for quickoverland movements to and from Mex-ico.
