Bobby (Fazilette) Khan

Bobby Khan's Unofficial biography (I'd be happy to receive an official one Bobby! - Ed.) This elusive and enigmatic lady is known to have worked for Cunard on the Sea Goddess, Unicorn in South Africa where she took over from an R/O who had an unfortunate end, and wrote regularly for Tradewind magazine in a column entitled Poopdeck. She also worked for Spliethoff earlier in her career. Most recently (from the web) she has worked for Princess Cruises. We were in the same class at college for three years where her sparkling, forthright and sociable nature hinted at the success she has subsequently enjoyed. Paul Bird Site Maintenance

Boy Scouts from Juneau Troop 11 would like to thank Kirby Day and Princess Cruises for helping them with the fundraiser. Each week for the last several years, two Princess ships have sorted their trash and donated the crushed aluminum cans to the scouts. The funds have helped local scouts go camping, attend Eagle River Scout Camp and visit the National Scout Jamboree in Virginia.

GreenSeas Trust

01 Jan 2004

GreenSeas Trust, established by Fazilette Khan (one of Port Strategy's regular contributors), has been officially registered as a charity organisation.

GreenSeas has already been successful in its home waters in Trinidad and Tobago where the "Litter kills Marine Life" campaign saw the placement of rubbish bins along Tobago's heavily polluted public beaches.

STACK 'EM HIGH

01 Oct 2003

Fazilette Khan finds that forklifts continue their vital role in moving breakbulk cargoes and empties around the terminal. And the technical specs are still being tweaked.

Kalmars medium range DCE 9-18 tonne FLT

When it comes to laden containers, the "how fast, how high, " debate between forklift trucks (FLT's) and reachstackers rages on with both sides throwing convincing arguments. Factors such as container stacking selectivity, density, driver visibility and preference, turning radius as well as critical load capabilities are bandied about between both manufacturer camps with each providing evidence of higher productivity and optimal use of land. Even end users - container ports - handling large volumes of traffic on either side of the Atlantic continue to remain divided on the issue. So what then is the conclusion? To put it simply both machines have a role to play.
