Marino July 11, 1983 File R. A. RENGERS CHEMICALS & PIGMENTS B-10266 COLORED PIGMENT - EDISON TO LOS ANGELES An alternative to trucking is to ship via O. S. Lines. Vessels sail from New York every tuesday and dock 14 days later at Long Beach, CA. (16 days later at Oakland, CA) The present rate is $5.34 - 40M. We believe a rate of $4.75 to $5.00 - 44M could be obtained* The cost compares favorably to truck which would be $6.90 cwt* The U. S. Lines rate includes drayage at both ends with U. S. Lines making all pick up and delivery arrangements. Please let us know if we should proceed with negotiations. REP/mjh n R. E. PROSSER TRANSPORTATION PROCUREMENT SECTION
