August 26-28, Louisville, Kentucky The first annual International Inland Waterways Conference and Trade Show will take place August 26-28 at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center in Louisville, Ky. This conference and trade show, possibly the most comprehensive of its type ever presented, will be of major importance to all rivermen—waterway users, port and waterway builders, operators, maintainers, shippers, and shipyard and repair facility managers.
The sponsors of this ambitious undertaking, which also is seen as providing the industry with a focal point for further development, are the National Waterways Foundation of Arlington, Va., The Waterways Journal, and Inland Waterways Educational Services, Inc., of Louisville, Ky.
"The Foundation's primary aims and desires in sponsoring this conference are to foster a greater understanding and public awareness of the importance of inland water transportation to the growth and economic development of the nation and to advance the waterway industry's technical capabilities and efficiencies through research and educational assistance," said J. W.
Hershey, board chairman of the National Waterways Foundation.
David A. Wright, vice chairman of the Foundation, stated: "It is absolutely vital to understand the importance of the inland waterways to our nation. If the degree to which waterways are appreciated in other countries can be adequately conveyed to our leaders, we will have taken a giant step toward seeing that our waterway system is kept moving forward." "Industry people will be able to come to one location to view what's new on the market, attend functional workshops, and hear industry leaders express their opinions on topical subjects," said Arthur G. Meyer, executive vice-president of Inland Waterways Educational Services.
Vice-President George Bush and many other key figures of national and international prominence will be present to express their views on the future growth of inland waterways. The People's Republic of China is sending a three-member delegation headed by Ma Xide, director of administration of inland water transportation, who will talk about the development of water transportation in China. James B. Newman, chief of the Ports and Railways Project Division of World Bank, will speak on water transportation financing in developing nations.
R. De Paepe, president, Permanent International Association of Navigation Congresses (PIANC) will speak on international financing of ocean, port, and inland waterway transportation.
A three-member panel will address water transportation commodities and the world economy.
Dr. M. J. van Rooijen with the Royal Dutch/Shell Group in Rotterdam, Netherlands, will speak on coal; Mashhour Ahmed Mashhour, chairman of the Suez Canal Authority in Ismailia, Egypt, will speak on oil, and Lawrence F. Dewitt, director of commodity marketing for Cargill, Inc., will speak on grain.
