CHEAP RIVER CARGOES
RESULT IN GROWTH OF
INLAND SHIPBUILDING
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 19.—Oil has
united with steel for greater use of
the inland waters as a means of
transportation, and to this can be
traced the interesting fact that ship
building in the Mississippi basin last
year was more than one-third the to
tal tonnage of the United tSates,
including ocean ports and the Great
Lakes.
The figures, compiled by industrial
authorities in Pittsburgh, siiow that
approximately 400 steel barges with
freight capacity of approximately
I 1,000 freight cars; 15’steam tow
| boats, and ten packets were added to
j the existing fleet of several thous
I and barges and several hundred
boats. Much of this river craft is
, used in carrying coal to mills and
! sfurnaces in the district, but a con
siderable proportion is allotted to the
! steel carrying trade from Pittsburgh
to rail distributing points along the
; lower Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
| Two years ago, during a period of
1 railroad congestion, steel manufac
| turing companies sought the Ohio
River as a means of getting their
products to southwestern consuming
points. So gratifying was the suc
cess of the experiment tha it has
grown into an expanding industry.
It was not, however, until later that
the oil industry, attracted by lower
transportation costs and time saving
turned its attention to he inland
waers. Tank barges, holding from
5,000 to 10,000 barrels of crude oil
i refined oil and gasoline are begin
I ning to prepare in squadrons, tak
l ing the place of tank car service on
| the railroads for long distance hauls
I but they are coordinated with motor
| trucks and railroad tanks at river
j terminals fo rback country distribu
| tion.
i The Standard Oil Company of
j Louisiana which two years ago set
; up a barge delivery service between
I Baton Rouge and New Orleans, ex
i tended the line to Memphis from
! made inland. Early this year it push
j ed the service to Louisville, some
1,200 miles from New Orleans. Two
steamboats have been assigned to the
task, one for oil and gasoline barges
to Cairo, the mouth of the Ohio and
a small one to take the barkes to
Louisville.
The Pan American Petroleum &
Transport company, which recently
absorbed the Mexican Petroleum com
pany, investigated river transporta
tion, and placed a contract with a
Pittsburgh shipyard for a Beet of
tank barges. Some of the barges
have been launched, and the Pan
Amrican will shortly begin barging
oil and gasoline from its ocean going
tankers in New Orleans to Pittsburgh
and intermediate cities for local ser
vice stations. This all water haul
will be more than 5,000 miles.
The Inland Waterways company of
Louisville has established semi
monthly barge movements between
Louisville and Pittsburgh. This gives
a new outlet for oil from the Ken
tucky fields, while a return haul is
provided the towboats in steel laden
barges from the Pittsburgh and the
Wheeling mills.
The United States Steel Corpora
tion, through its subsidiary, the Car
negie Steel company, sent some 800
freight car loads of steel down the
Ohio by boat, while the Jones &
Laughlin Steel company, the piooneer
in the movement, added largely to its
total. The National Tube Company
and American Steel & Wire Com
pany, other corporation subsidiaries,
also were represented in the ship
ments. nl similar manner the Ten
nessee Coal & Iron Company, the
southern subsidiary of the corpora
tion, is using the Warrior River divi
[ sion of the Federal barge line be
[ tween its mills an dthe Gull' of Mex
ico lor carrying heavy steel products
and the corporation mills in Gary,
Ind., as well a sother mills in the
Chicago district, are shipping steel
to St. Louis by rail and thence to the
| southwest by river.
1 The Janes & Laughlin Steel com
pany, in addition to enlargements of j
its fleet with a new type “box
barge” and gondola barges, designed
especially for heavy river duty, has
acquired new towboats and bought
land on the Mississippi at Memphis
upon which it will erect a steel ware
house with river an d rail connec
tions for supplying its trade in the
south and southwest. It already has
shipped some 70,000 tons of steel
south by water.
The Wheeling Steel corporation,
which has been creating a formid
able fleet of towboats and steel
barges for transporting coal and steel
among its plants along the Ohio
in Ohio and West Virginia, has in
stalled modern river terminals and
expects in the early spring to inaug
urate a down-river distribution sys
tem similar to that operated out of
Pittsburgh.
