Thisrange encompasses the EDI capableMATRAK cargo tracking program, spe-cialized warehousing services throughoutthe United States and Europe, scheduledand chartered air/ocean services andcomprehensive, cost-effective destina-tion services worldwide. The concepttook off fast: In 1991, the magazine Inc.ranked Matrix eighty-first of the top 500fastest-growing privately owned compa-nies.

According to company officials,Matrix has successfully handled morethan 20,000 shipments valued at over$2 billion. They have moved every typeof cargo imaginable from the UnitedStates, Europe and Asia through theports of St. Petersburg, Mariupol,Odessa, Novorossysk, Poti, Batumi, Vos-tochny and Vladivostok, as well as mul-tiple border entries in eastern Europe,Finland, Latvia and Turkey. More than600 different destinations were involvedin these shipments.

Today, Matrix has more than 200clients with projects in the C.I.S. Theseprojects range from weapons dismantlingto construction of what will be the com-rnonwealth’s largest gold raine. Otherprojects include modernization and fuelcontainment for nuclear reactors, as wellas exploration and drilling activities forthe oil and gas industries.

Precision Counts in Transfer ofOffshore Drilling Module via thePort of Houston

Some very precise planning account-ed fnr t.he suocessfu! journey of ahuge offshore drilling module at thePort of Houston Authority’s TurningBasin Terminal recently. The moduleweighed 291 metric tons and mea-sured 26 meters long, 12 meterswide and 8.3 meters high. PowellIndustries of Houston manufacturedthe unit and shipped it to the TurningBasin Terminal by barge. At the Turn-ing Basin, Joe D. Hughes’ floatingderrick crane BIG JOHN transferredthe unit from barge to ship.

The M/V CONTINUO, a vesseloperated by Azure Line, carriedthe piece to a Black Sea port,There it was unloaded onto ariver barge, taken along theVolga-Don River system to theCaspian Sea, then to its finaldestination of Azerbaijan. Ameri-can Shipping & Chartering sagent for Azure Line Port Coop-er/T Smith stevedored the ship-ment, and Bertling Logisticswas forwarder.

What’s the diffcrcncc betweenHouston’s airport

U’nquestionably, drilling

operators have cargo

shipping needs that

require unique expertise,

for shipping delays can

dig quickly into profits. And what

efficient shipping and handling of

oil field drilling equipment must

have is an air cargo distribution

center such as the one at Houston

Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

It’s no wonder that oil field

shippers across the globe choose

IAH for the simple reason no

other airport does it better or

faster. Customs clearance at IAH

assures immediate cargo process-

ing and the airport can accommo-

date any size aircraft, from the

largest to the smallest freighter.

without any restrictions. Further.

Houston’s central location, variety

others?in flight schedules and accessi-

bility to railways, trucking and

shipping lines make it ideal to

move goods anywhere in the

world. And with more than 715

aircraft operations each day, IAH

can meet any shippers deadline.

Clearly, for shipping an entire

drilling rig or just a one-ton piece

of it, the Air Cargo Distribution

Center at IAH stands ready and is

fully equipped and geographically

~ositioned to keep oil field

operations running in the black.=
