[email protected] The Family Company Wins by Mr J G Payne, United Towing and Humber Tugs ! The following is the text of a speech made in Grimsby Town Hall on 5 December 1975 at a dinner given by United Towing and Humber Tugs (The author was Chairman of the company, and the Wilbraham family majority shareholders). It was originally published in the Blue Star ‘Gangway’ ! At a time when I suspect we are all scratching to keep our head above water or more definitively when we are trying to retain in our businesses a positive cash flow it is probably worth once again having a look at the basic elements which make a shipping company's profit and loss account good, bad or indifferent. On 1 April 1974 I gave the Reginald Grout Memorial lecture in the City of London and the subject was 'British Liner Shipping: Future Prospects and Problems'. I then said British Liner Shipping should have three principal objectives - these were: • that if we were to remain in business that we account on a replacement cost depreciation basis • next, that we must continue to improve the efciency of our ports and transport network • and last, that we must work closer than ever with our customers. These remarks were made at a time of economic boom—it does however seem to me that the remarks have even more force at a time of economic decline. I do not intend to dwell on accounting problems tonight as Mr Sandiland and others are tending to give us all mental indigestion at the moment, nor do I intend to talk about customer relations, despite the importance of good customer relations. It seems appropriate whilst here on Humberside to simply state the essentials of a good port from a shipowner's point of view. I make no apologies for stating the obvious because we tend to live in an era when the obvious or the truth, if you like, is clouded by other issues, at worst political issues or a genuine fear of the truth. Costs of ships and equipment escalate at a rate hitherto unknown—here may I illustrate that container ships which were delivered to us in 1969 should have cost us about four million pounds, will probably end up costing us eight million pounds because of the declining value of the pound and similar ships to be delivered in 1977 will probably leave us no change out of twenty-five million pounds. With tugs, supply boats, ferries, tramps, bulk carriers all costing two or three times the amount they would have done five to ten years ago the one thing that shipowners are all looking for more than ever before is maximum utilisation of their assets. Ships at sea make money, ships in port cost money. "1 In other words we all want our ships in and out of port in the shortest possible space of time. What, therefore, apart from an efficient tug service, makes a port work—probably three or four things only: • the right equipment, there is nothing more soul destroying than the wrong equipment • the right amount of space in which to operate • good management • and last but not least, the desire on the part of the men to work. Funnily enough, good management and good men working in harmony can overcome poor equipment and a shortage of space—therefore one must put the men in the port and their attitude to the job in hand as the essential ingredient of a successful port. What creates harmony in a management/ men relationship? Much has been written by so-called experts on this subject. To me the essential factors are: • an identifiable, accessible and respected boss who is not a faceless wonder • and men who desire to work and are willing to accept that some disciplines are necessary for a job to be done efficiently. Many of you will say 'what about the Trade Unions in all this?' Their role to me is a complementary one. The Unions should ensure that the men get a fair deal and protect the individual against bad management. Unions should negotiate agreements on behalf of the men—if that is necessary. But having negotiated an agreement, I do believe the Unions have a very real and ultimate responsibility of making sure that their members abide by that agreement. If an agreement simply becomes a basis for further negotiation then in simple terms 'all is lost'. Nothing will ever work efficiently on that basis. I do not accept however that Unions are essential, if for no other reason than that a Union which cannot or will not control its members is probably our worst enemy today. Unions require good management just as business requires good management. Might I liken a Union which has lost control of its members to business management which has lost control of its costs. The end result is chaotic. No doubt many of you will be sitting here tonight saying 'easier said than done', and I agree—most things are easier said than done. But has not the time arrived when each and every one of us, whether we be manager or clerk, director or crane driver, chairman or office boy, should ask ourselves one simple question—are we worth the money in our take home pay?— are we giving a day's work for a day's pay? If not, what is stopping us—is it indifferent management, lack of leadership, an undisciplined work force or the mistaken belief that 'she'll be right', to coin an Australian expression. One thing is certain, nothing will ever be right unless a lot of the nonsense which goes on at the present moment is very firmly sat on in all places in our society. We all have a responsibility in this regard and all I simply suggest is that unless we all "2 discharge that responsibility we are not playing our part. Gentlemen, if I sound like a politician I apologise. The simple fact is that good ports employ good men who do not tolerate nonsense. Men and management working in harmony dispose of nonsense quicker than any Union agreement, work procedure or terms of reference. We can have all the pieces of paper we like in the world, but none will ever be able to replace that very essential ingredient in life—all of us working as a team together. Nobody in the company which employs me works for me, I hope they all work with me for the company. May I just say one thing in conclusion, not with the deliberate intention of embarrassing Mr Wilbraham. My remarks are addressed to those who work with him. I have only known Mr Wilbraham about two years. During that period a friendship has grown up between us based on, I believe, mutual respect—for my part it is based on respect and admiration. Your companies, Tony, are essentially family companies where the boss is anything but a faceless wonder—I too work for a family company, but have had the opportunity to work in other environments. There is no comparison between working with a family company and working in other broader-based companies. The family company wins every time. This country was essentially built on family companies and it is in these great family companies that one observes the complete lack of nonsense. I consider myself privileged to work in a family company and also to be associated with other family companies such as yours. On behalf of all your guests may I not only once again say thank you, but also wish you personally, your family, and all your staff who work with you, every success for the future—thank you. ! !

Andy Pearson Born With a Silver Spanner in Her Hand BY ANDY PEARSON, PH.D., C.ENG., FELLOW ASHRAE I’m writing this column on the birthday of one of the most unusual and inspiring characters in engineering history. She was born in a Scottish castle near Perth into a family of the landed gentry and was named after her godmother who was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Despite her noble beginnings Victoria Drummond clearly had an aptitude for hands-on engineering. As a young girl she enjoyed making wooden toys and mod- els and is said to have won prizes for them. Aged 21 she started an apprenticeship in a garage in Perth and two years later transferred her training to the Caledon Shipbuilding yard in Dundee, where she served her time in the pattern shop for the foundry and in the fin- ishing shop. After two more years she completed her apprenticeship and spent further time as a journey- man engine builder and then in the drawing office at Caledon. When the yard hit hard times a couple of years later she was laid off, but managed to get a place with the Blue Funnel line in Liverpool and after a short trial voyage she was signed on as tenth engineer (the bottom rung of the ladder) on a passenger liner sailing between England and Australia.

  • Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: the German Initiative in the 1950S1 Alston Kennerley
    Sail Training, Vocational Socialisation and Merchant Seafarer Careers: The German Initiative in the 1950s1 Alston Kennerley Tout au long du 20ème siècle la pertinence de l'expérience pratique dans les navires hauturiers à voile carrée avec de futures carrières de marin dans les navires motorisés a été discutée et remise en cause. Il restent aujourd'hui des pays qui fournissent une telle expérience pour des officiers stagiaires, et il y a un soutien mondial pour donner de l'expérience de la voile aux jeunes dans le cadre du développement caractériel indépendamment du futur métier. La discussion ici se concentre sur l'initiative allemande des années 50, en recherchant des avis personnels au sujet du contexte et du but opérationnel, par le moyen de questionnaires sur l'expérience personnelle de la voile et du métier de marin qui a pu suivre. Les résultats prouvent que les répondants étaient généralement favorables à la possibilité de formation en termes de la gamme étendue des qualifications personnelles engendrées, et que le coût et l'effort sont valables. The history of merchant seafarer training is probably almost as old as deep sea seafaring itself. It can certainly be identified from medieval times, at least in Britain through the adoption of craft guild progression structures: apprenticeship, journeyman craftsman (mate), master craftsman. In British seafaring two levels of apprenticeship evolved: seaman apprenticeship and officer apprenticeship. With the opening of the oceans in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, educational dimensions, especially navigation, began to be taught ashore as well as at sea, to those destined for command. Until well into the nineteenth century, skills aspects, grouped under the term seamanship, were always learned or taught through example and experience aboard ships engaged in commercial trading.

  • BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – Ca. 1970)
    Water Street in the 1880s with Borough Buildings in the centre. Photo courtesy of Colin Wilkinson. WALKING ON WATER STREET Graham Jones explores the histories of various buildings in the Water Street area. Part 3 – BOROUGH BUILDINGS, WATER ST (1859 – ca . 1970) 1 In its early years Borough Buildings lived gracefully between two buildings which captured greater attention: Oriel Chambers (1864) at 14 Water Street, for which Peter Ellis was so rudely criticised when the building was originally constructed, and Middleton Buildings (ca. 1859) at 8 Water Street which, until 1916, was the home of the Cunard Line. The comment in Charles Reilly's 1921 tour of Water Street, 2 – “After the empty site, where the old Cunard Building was, comes the oddest building in Liverpool – Oriel Chambers,...” gives the impression that Borough Buildings did not exist. But it did, and during the century of its existence it provided office accommodation for The Liverpool Steam Ship Owners' Association, the American Chamber of Commerce and a variety of important businesses and shipping lines. Trade between America and the U.K.'s premier port had become so important by the end of the 18th century that an American Chamber of Commerce was formed in 1801. The first three attempts at laying a transatlantic cable between 1857 and 1865 had ended in failure when the cables broke or developed faults, but success was finally achieved in 1866, with the Great Eastern being one of the ships involved in cable laying. On September 20th of that year, following a letter from the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce regarding their proposal for a public dinner to celebrate the laying of the cable, the American Chamber met at Borough Buildings (to which they had moved their offices in 1864 from Exchange Street West).
