  • Remarks for Chairman Fred Hochberg American Association of Port Authorities Spring Conference Washington, DC – March 25Th, 2014
    Remarks for Chairman Fred Hochberg American Association of Port Authorities Spring Conference Washington, DC – March 25th, 2014 Good afternoon. Thank you, Kurt, for that introduction, and thanks for inviting me to join you here today. I’ve always felt a strong connection to the work you do as Port Authority professionals. And that’s for two reasons: one nostalgic, and one professional. The first reason goes back to 1967, when I was 15 years old. Yes, I’ll do the math for you—I’m 62 today. That year, I had the opportunity to board a freighter headed from Brooklyn to southern Africa. The carrier was a company called Farrell Lines. Today, Farrell Lines still operates a fleet under the Danish Maersk Line, carrying American military cargoes across the Atlantic. On the voyage I took as a teenager, we made our way around the Cape of Good Hope, stopping at a number of ports along the way. I visited Namibia, which at the time was still called German South-West Africa. I visited Angola. I visited the city of Maputo in Mozambique, which was then known as Lourenço Marques. Of course, I had no idea at the time that I’d ever be back in Mozambique, let alone as a government employee. But 45 years later, I was there again—this time to promote U.S. energy and infrastructure investment. As a young man, experiencing a new and mysterious continent was the thrill of a lifetime. And I’ll never forget how it felt to be on that freighter, making our way through bustling harbors, exploring southern Africa port by port.
