As part of its cargo consolidation program, OWLT has contracted with Dixie to handle certain domes- tic transportation needs involving cargoes to and from OWL Tankers at its Baytank Marine Terminal on the Houston Ship Channel, thus saving costly port time for the ships.

The Port of Houston serves as home port for OWLT's fleet of advanced chemical tankers.

Dixie, a marine transportation service company, transports liquid cargoes, primarily petrochemicals, on the inland waterways system.

Dixie's other subsidiaries provide offshore transportation of both dry and liquid products, diesel repair and harbor services.

Joseph H. Pyne, president of

Dixie Carriers, stated that besides meeting the needs of OWLT, the new barges would enable his firm to compete in the specialty chemical handling market now dominated by the truck and rail industries.

The new barges will be ready for service during the first part of 1989.

Dixie and OWLT are also presently in the process of converting existing barges to multigrade units which will be in service in late summer of this year.
