Of Foreign Trade
Units of The Coastal Corporation During 1979, f o r the first time
in history, the Port of Houston
led the nation in a major cate-
gory of port activity, becoming
No. 1 in foreign trade tonnage.
In doing so, Houston surpassed
the traditional leader, the Port of
New York-New Jersey.
Statistics of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Commerce put Houston's
1979 foreign trade tonnage at
64,899,500 tons, up almost 4 per-
cent over the 62,490,000 tons of
1978. At the same time, foreign
trade tonnage at New York de-
creased more than 10 percent,
f r o m 67,038,500 tons in 1978 to
60,183,000 tons last year.
The change is the more notable
since shipments of crude petro-
leum, the major commodity moved
through the Port of Houston, de-
clined by 6 percent in 1979, from
33,043,018 tons to 31,027,265 tons.
In fact, overall import tonnage
decreased at the Port of Houston
last year. The decline was 1.3
percent f r o m 42,440,000 tons in
1978 to 41,874,500 tons in 1979.
A jump in exports through the
Port of Houston combined with
a decline in imports at New York
to move Houston into the top spot.
Total tonnage at the Port of
Houston last year was 122,383,-
558, an increase of 12 percent
over the 1978 total. The foreign
trade was valued at $18.5 billion.

Mr. Guarino, until recently vice president
of engineering at Halter, served in various
capacities during his 20 years with the com-
pany, including sales, marketing, and esti-
mating. Mr. Cox had held the positions of
chief naval architect and head of the hull
structure group at Halter Marine.
The two naval architects bring with them
more than 29 years of experience in the
small vessel design field, and have been in-
strumental in the design of many Halter
Marine vessels, some of which have set the
standards for modern workboats in the o f f -
shore oil and gas support industry.
