Port Of Oakland And

Port Of Inchon, Korea

Sign Sister Port Pact

Ranking Korean maritime and diplomatic officials visited the Port of Oakland for the formal signing of a Sister Port affiliation between the Port of Oakland, Calif., and the Port of Inchon, Republic of

Korea.

Heading the Korean delegation were Young Woo Chang, director general, Planning and Manage- ment Office, Korea Maritime &

Port Administration; Suk Chon

Kang, deputy director, Inchon

District Maritime & Port Author- ity, and Hyoung Chun Kang, di- rector, Ulsan District Maritime &

Port Authority. They were ac- companied by Dong Won Shin,

Consul General of Korea in San

Francisco, and Jong Soon Lee,

Maritime Attache, Korean Con- sulate General, New York.

The Sister Port pact pledges mutual efforts to promote the flow of trade goods between the two

January 1, 1978 ports, explained Y. Charles Soda, president of the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners. It grew out of a visit to Korea last June by a Port of Oakland trade dele- gation.

In 1976, through the Bay Area —and primarily through the Port of Oakland—the Republic of Ko- rea exported nearly $200 million worth of trade goods and im- ported U.S. products valued at some $300 million, noted Consul

General Shin.

In 1977, that balance sheet should mount to $700 million, he added — making the Sister Port pact executed between Oakland and Inchon (gateway to the cap- ital city of Seoul) "most timely and significant as a way to strengthen and further friendship and understanding between our two peoples."

The Korean officials paid a courtesy call on Oakland Mayor

Lionel Wilson, toured the city, inspected modern container facil- ities at the Port of Oakland, and were honored at a reception and dinner with steamship line offi- cials, terminal operators, and shippers.

A sustained, three year research and develop- ment effort to determine the most practical com- mercial searchlight design features for presentday needs is all summed up in the outstanding new

Perko high-powered 19" Solar-Ray™ searchlights.

Available in 3 models—deck control, wheel control and lever-gear control—the benefits begin with the most solidly built searchlight available today.

Fashioned from marine aluminum alloy and finished in gray enamel, the new 19" Perko Solar-Rays feature a heavy-guage body reinforced with ribbing, a hefty ribbed cast yoke assembly, a solid 13" di- ameter cast mounting base, only to mention a few of the super sturdy construction details.

Besides offering all of the exclusive design and performance features of the smaller Perko Solar-

Ray searchlights, the new 19" model incorporates interchangeable wheel and lever-gear controls that fit a common above deck assembly. The wheel con- trol is fitted with extra large wheels for easier operation. The smooth-functioning, lever-gear con- trol has a built-in locking system that holds desired elevation. Perko Solar-Ray high-powered search- lights are also available in 10", 12" and 14" sizes fin- ished in polished brass, exclusive Perko-plate satin commercial chrome, and polished chrome. Deck control, lever control and wheel control models are available. For details of the complete Solar-Ray line, send for the free 1978 Perko Searchlight Cata- log—Section E.
