AGENDA

Whether to expand operations into India.

Consolidation of NY Department

Report for Containerisation worldwide

BI & ST : Congratulate MW on the launch of his new book 'Hacker Manifesto'.

ST: Talks about Indian operations, and a little about Asia.

BI: Gives Annual accounting Report for Containerisation worldwide.

It seems that this report was generated from HQ, in our data mining

operations. A lack was detected in the banal accounting area of space and a

forum was held in January 2004 to address the problems of summarisation. It

was felt that the art of 'summary' was curtailing opportunities to produce

highly detailed documents necessary to maintain fatigue in data operators.

Summary was also making space rental actually cheaper and reducing profits

that could be made by millimetre by millimetre reportage of site storage

features, etc.

The report includes details about:

Over 460 port/terminal throughputs

1,352 manufacturers of equipment and container/swapbodies

578 ports, 684 terminals in over 160 countries

7,794 vessels in commercial service

103 vessels with non-commercial status

950 new buildings

240 non operating owners/managers, including operator listings

510 liner operators, alliances and consortia serving 182 trade routes

245 products categories with 2,500 manufacturers listings

970 amendments to vessel names

All Classification societies

118 Container leasing companies, branch offices and agents

706 Container repair companies and their depots

275 Second-hand container dealers

77 Container conversions companies

267 Institutes and Associations

106 Liner Conferences

79 Rail operators

BIC Codes

108 Shipbrokers S.

MW: Starts discussion about the value of totemistic rings, and demonstrates

the power of his fly ring.(refer picture)

KM: Talks about shamanistic inhabitations regarding animals.

BI: Refers this back to Voodoo therapist and her Snake meetings at Battery

park - perhaps they are getting out of hand.

BT: talks about his cooking CD interactive on Persian home cooking, that

animals are eaten and therefore we inhabit the spirit of that prepared meal.

IK: Admitted he never met an animal he didn't enjoy eating.

Meeting closes: 22:30
