NEW YORK - The growing financial crisis is constraining world trade with a jumbled mess of frozen credit that could mean shortages of food and energy supplies for some countries. Shippers of drybulk goods such as grain and coal worry that importers won't be able to pay for the goods they receive. And while some anxious exporters hold on to their goods, rates to ship those goods have plummeted to 10-year lows.

Trucks and heavy equipment at the port soon will be fueled by B20 biodiesel, which is 20 percent soybean oil. Benefits of this conversion include an expected 20-50 percent reduction in hydrocarbon emissions from the port's 17 diesel- powered vehicles. Elsewhere locally, Clark County's 150-plus diesel-powered vehicles were converted to biodiesel fuels a few years ago but because of storage concerns were later converted to ultra-low- sulf...
