At the Crossroads… Which Value Proposition for the
Caribbean?
3) East coast capacity issues
1) Strong margins, but many not large
enough to justify dedicated services
4) Last segment in importbased supply chains
2) Interlining between the America’s
coastal systems

Port improvements to capture the anticipated traffic growth. ASPA completed
in 2008 a US$300 million container terminal at Mobile in partnership with
APM and CMA CGM.
Fund a 500-foot berth at Seagirt Marine Terminal in operation when the
Panama Canal expansion project is completed in 2014. The Port of Baltimore
is currently one of only two US East Coast ports with a 50-foot draft.
(Port Everglades). Increase its capacity to handle larger ships. Develop the
cruising industry with a new terminal for large cruise ships (2009).

Governance Changes in Port Authorities
Conventional Port Authority
• Planning and
management of port
area.
• Provision of
infrastructures.
• Planning framework.
• Enforcement of rules
and regulations.
• Cargo handling.
• Nautical services
(pilotage, towage,
dredging).
Expanded Port Authority
Added Value Activities Performed at an Extended
Gateway
Activity
Functions
Consolidation /
Deconsolidation
Inventory management practices.
Cargo consolidated (or deconsolidated) into container loads
(paletization).
Attaining a batch size (group of containers) fitting a barge or a
train shipment.
Breaking down batches so that they can be picked up by trucks.
Transloading
Change in to load unit (Maritime / Domestic).
Consolidation, deconsolidation and transloading commonly
mixed.
Postponement
Opportunity to route freight according to last minute and last mile
considerations (dwell time).
Buffer within a supply chain.
Light transformations
Forms of product and package transformations (packaging,
labeling).
Customization to national, cultural or linguistic market
characteristics.
