“You can debate their impact, but you cannot deny that they are coming!” – said by a Roman General referring to the Huns in 425 AD
That being the case, planning and preparing for them is the responsible course.

• Ships carry 99% of overseas trade in volume terms and 62% in value terms, the remainder being conveyed by air.
• 90% of all international trade moves by sea
• Globally, the ton-miles of freight moved by water are more than twice the total ton-miles moved by road, railway, and air combined.
• Water transportation is less costly and more efficient than other modes of transport: http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/aboutus/competitiveness.html

Large Ships Present Two Major Challenges
1 = Size of the ships
2 = Highly Concentrated Volumes of Cargo
•
•
Port Impact
• Harbor Depth (& Air Draft)
• Berths – 1300 Foot?
• Cranes – Reach (20+), How Many Per Berth?
• Moves Per Hour Critical
• On Dock Rail
• Back of Crane Infrastructure
• Gates
• Intense “Peak Days”
Highways
Pilots & Tugs
•
Rail Impact
• Longer Trains
Flatcar Availability
• Double Stack
• On Dock Rail
• Higher Ramp Traffic Concentration
• Origin & Destination
• Dedicated Trains/Corridors
Customer Impact
• Concentrated Flows = High Velocity
• Potential Warehouse Stresses
• Improved Schedule Reliability
• Dray Power Challenges
Effectively Managing These Issues Will Result In Improved Efficiency Throughout the Supply Chain

As you can see….
Norfolk and Baltimore are well positioned with plenty of draft and capacity, as well as on-dock rail.
Charleston faces challenges without on-dock rail (although a virtual substitute is offered), and potential tidal sailing requirements. NCT’s shortage of super
PPM cranes may be an issue as well.
Savannah has on-dock rail, but limited channel depth. However, Savannah has the advantage of major customer distribution centers directly adjacent to the terminal facility.
