TEN YEARS AGO, San Jacinto College purchased 13 waterfront acres in the Port of Houston to build a maritime training center; American Commercial Lines divested nine tow-boats to three companies; and subject-matter experts from the National Maritime Center began attending industry events around the country to help resolve licensing issues. TWENTY YEARS AGO, Paul Boudreaux opened Ashton Marine LLC in Harvey, La.; Chief of Engineers Lt. Gen. Robert Flowers announced new Environmental Operating Principles governing all Corps decision-making; and 65 percent of the U.S. tank barge fleet was double-hulled, 13 years before a deadline set by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. |
