AS OUR SHIPS 60 OUT TO SEA.
'SIper-Cargo" is an old term
used to designate the business
manager of ship, and the United
States shipping board has revived
this Office in order to train young
Americans to secure and handle
cargoes on our ships. They go to
sea and their duties are to give
personal attention solely to the
freight on the vessel. When a port
is reached their efforts are directed
toward getting outbound cargo in
hands, as well as to OBJ
tain return cargo, facilitate the
and loading of cargo, !
and avoiding port delays, thereby
keeping the ship on voyage. Today
we have $50 ships with super
cargoes aboard and they are going
into every port throughout the
world. In a short time We will
have 600 live, energetic Americans
landing daily in foreign ports, dis /
tributing American exports to con-
signees, endeavoring to obtain all !
the information they can as TO the /
possibilities in that port for other |
products. and also nego- !!
tiating for cargo to go back to !
America in our bottoms. These |
young men will furnish the ship !
ping board with detailed informa- |
ton as to the possibilities of the re-
5pective ports which they visit, and /
This information will be forwarded, /
upon the return of /
each ship, to the state department
and the department of commerce.
