West Africa,1947.Thirty-three years ago, when Delta Line pioneered
regular U.S. Flag service from the Gulf to West Africa,there were few developed harbors along the entire3,000-mile coastline from Dakar to Matadi.
Each voyage was an adventure. Our ships wouldsail along the coast and anchor just beyond the surf.Cargoes were loaded onto small boats powered bymen and oars. It was a demanding test of skill andseamanship, an experience not soon forgotten by thecrews of those Delta ships.
Delta helped establish trade with the nations ofWest Africa, and continues to play a vital role in theeconomic development of the region.
Today, we serve the modern ports of West Africawith five purpose-built vessels, that sail frequentlyfrom all major U.S. Gulf ports. These great shipsare backed by an experienced team at home, and anetwork of the best agents on the African continent.
And it’s the same wherever we go in the world-South America, Central America, the Caribbean. In50 countries, on three continents, Delta is committedto service, integrity and excellence.

CASO adoptsplan for U.S.liner industry
The Council of American-Flag ShipOperators (CASO) has adopted "Long Range Plan for the Liner In-dustry of the U.S. Merchant Marine"according to CASO’s president, Ad-miral J.L. Holloway, III, USN (Ret.).
The plan builds upon the "Programfor the Development of an EffectiveMaritime Strategy" proposed by Presi-dent Reagan.
The goals of the plan are:1. to carry not less than 40 percent of
the foreign liner trade of the Unit-ed States, providing efficient ser-vice to shippers at rates com-petitive with foreign flags; and,
2. to provide a U.S.-flag liner fleetwhich can fulfill the military sea-lift requirement of U.S. defenseplans.
Attainment of these goals would re-quire the expansion of the U.S. linerfleet from the current 250 ships toabout 325 ships.
Admiral Holloway emphasized thatcarrying out this industry plan "will re-quire little, if any outlay of govern-ment funds - in fact, many of the pro-posals would result in overall savings."
For further information or copies ofthe "Long Range Plan for the LinerIndustry of the U.S. MerchantMarine," contact Cheryl McCoubreyat (202) 466-5388.

In what may be maritime history, Bay Houston Towing Company recently christened
the four newest members of the fleet all on the same day. Left to right: The Captain W.D.Haden, the W. D. Haden, II, the Barbara H. Neuhaus and the Mark K.
AFAMILY AFFAIR.
The biggest harbor towingcompany on the Texas Gulf Coastis no faceless corporation. It’sBay-Houston Towing. And it’sowned and operated by theHadens, a family that has beeninvolved in the towing businessfor over 100 years.
That’s why their fleet of dieseltugs, all the way up to the 4,200-
horse-power Captain W.D. Haden,bears family names.
Doing the job better thananyone else can is more than achallenge.
It’s a family tradition.
