National Challenge: Marine Transportation System

Value of all foreign trade represents nearly 30% of nation’s GDP (vs. 13% in 1970)

Overseas waterborne trade 95% of overseas trade by volume 75% of overseas trade by value 16 million jobs

About $2.3 trillion in economic activity

System nearing capacity Cargo volumes projected to double

by 2025 Already a generation behind in

channel design – but West Coast in better shape

Capacity constraints increase transportation costs, pollution, congestion

U.S. Harbors and Waterways: Vital to Trade

…and to Our National Economy

Future of North American Container Trade with Asia

(Thousands of TEUs)

• Asia-North America eastbound flows likely passed 6 million TEU in ‘06

• Driven by People’s Republic of China to U.S. West Coast

• May reach 28 million TEU by 2022

• Huge challenge to U.S. ports to handle this volume

Deep Draft Challenges: Mega-ships

“EMMA MAERSK” - 11,000+ TEUs

Deep Draft Challenges: Mega-ships

“EMMA MAERSK” - 11,000+ TEUs

• Announced capacity 11,000 TEUs (But industry analysts say could range much higher.)

• Entered service Sep 06, 10 more on order

• Length 1,303 ft – (longer than Eiffel Tower is tall)

• Width 184 ft) – (wide enough to cover 14 freeway lanes)

• Height 207 ft – (taller than a 17 storey building)

• Loaded draft 51 feet• Los Angeles and Norfolk only US ports that could

handle and Norfolk only at high tide
