On this, the first day of filming on
Casino Royale, it seems appropriate to commend Crowley Maritime
Corp. for cleverly leveraging the promotional value of this great
association with James Bond 007.
My own
communications background (dating back to the early 1980s)
includes work for
Panalpina PANFAIRService USA, one of the premier suppliers to
the
international trade show industry. So this is my professional
hat's off to a respected peer in getting the word out against tough
competition.
"Crowley Maritime Corp. will carry 28
pickup trucks, 25 production trailers, 11 excavators, cranes and other
equipment to Nassau next month for filming of the next James Bond movie,
'Casino Royale.'
The cargo will leave the U.S. by way
of Jacksonville or Port Everglades and some will come from Europe."
Die hard fans will no doubt be on the
lookout for shipping manifests, customs filings, and any other public
records available for planning their February tavels in pursuit of any
and all that is 007.
