They send scrap ships to Asia and Europe carrying scraps.
Then they send it back as straight and in rolls of metal, steel
and that kind of stuff. Then we turn it into car fenders and
those things. Last year Logistec Co. handled 600,000 metric tons
of steal, 90,000 metric tons of zinc, and 80,000 metric tons
of copper. They have a storage house that's three acres. |

The forklifts are taking zinc from the special lift platforms
on the ship. |
 |
The dock is made with a special material. It looks like wood
but is very expensive. It is very strong so it will last a long
time. |
 |
This is a picture of the special decking material for the
dock. It is very strong and dense. |
 |
They use pipes to fill containers with oil, airplane fuel
,and other liquids. They sometimes paint the vats black because
the heat from the sun is absorbed better. When they send gasoline
through a pipe and then put another type down, they send the
gas that is in the pipe into a storage bin. |
 |
These are the containers where the liquids are stored.
As you can see, some are painted black. |
 |
Some ships are called scrap ships. Scrap ships are ships
that have scraps of metal. Metal is the most common thing they
ship of export. These are some more things they ship to places
like zinc, steel, metal, copper, rocks, and bricks. There things
would be put sometimes into coils. |
