WITH THE TREND OF CARRIERS EMPLOYING EVER LARGER SHIPS IN THE GLOBAL FLEET IT COMES AS NO SMALL SURPRISE THAT THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN PORTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD ARE IN NEED OF SOME RATHER SERIOUS UPGRADES TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE NEW MAMMOTH VESSELS
AND AT LONG LAST THE PANAMA CANAL
WILL ALSO BE REFLECTING THESE NEW SHIP SIZES AS
WELL
THE PANAMA CANAL HAS BEEN A VITAL LINK
FOR THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS
AND HAS HAD A MAJOR EFFECT ON GLOBAL TRADE BY
CUTTING DOWN TRANSPORTATION TIMES ALLOWING OCEANIC FREIGHT
CARRIERS TO FORGO HAVING TO
CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE LENGTH OF SOUTH
AMERICA
HOWEVER WITH THE NEW MEGA SHIPS HITTING THE WATER THE CANAL IS BECOMING LESS AND LESS VIABLE SIMPLY UNABLE TO HANDLE THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF THE NEW SHIPS HOWEVER THATrsquoS ALL GOING TO CHANGE
ALL TOLD WITH THE UPGRADES FOR THE CANAL IT WILL BE ABLE TO HANDLE ALL BUT SOME 176 OF THE LARGEST VESSELS IN THE GLOBAL FLEET THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT CAN SHIPPERS EXPECT THIS TO DO FOR GLOBAL TRADE

TRYING TO PREDICT THE FUTURE OF TRADE RATES IS DIFFICULT AT BEST DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF FACTORS IN PLAY EVEN WITH THE INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE CANAL EXPANSION FREIGHT RATES WILL STILL BE AT THE MERCY OF DEMAND
INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION WILL BE CRUCIAL TO DETERMINING THE OUTCOME OF THE NEW EXPANSION BUT ITrsquoS NOT THE ONLY FACTOR THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER MANY CARRIERS ARE STILL AT THE MERCY OF FUEL PRICES WHILE THEY ARE LOW FOR THE TIME BEING THERErsquoS NO GUARANTEE THAT THEYrsquoLL STAY THAT WAY
THERE IS ALSO THE CONSIDERATION OF INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION SUCH AS RAIL RATES WHILE IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO TRANSPORT CONTAINERS TO THE US EAST COAST IT DOESNrsquoT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT IT WILL BE THE CHEAPEST OPTION FOR SHIPPERS AND MANUFACTURERS ESPECIALLY IF RAIL RATES DONrsquoT COOPERATE

A GUESSING GAME
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT THERE IS ONE OF TWO THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS SCENARIO THE FIRST IS THAT FREIGHT RATES WILL SIMPLY DROP
THE SECOND OPTION IS THAT THE CANAL EXPANSION WILL SIMPLE CREATE AN INFLUX OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES THINK ABOUT IT SMALLER CARRIER COMPANIES ARE AFFORDED A GREAT DEAL MORE FLEXIBILITY BY BEING ABLE TO USE THE CANAL AND CAN THEREBY SPUR ON GLOBAL TRADE
BEING ABLE TO USE THE CANAL AGAIN MEANS THAT CARRIERS WILL BE ABLE TO CUT DOWN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR TRANSIT TIME THUS LOWERING THE OVERALL PRICE FOR MOVING FREIGHT TO THE US EAST AND WEST COASTS
ALWAYS BE ON TOP OF THE MARKET

FOR THE PACIFIC AND ATLANTIC OCEANS
AND HAS HAD A MAJOR EFFECT ON GLOBAL TRADE BY

CARRIERS TO FORGO HAVING TO
CIRCUMNAVIGATE THE LENGTH OF SOUTH
AMERICA
HOWEVER WITH THE NEW MEGA SHIPS HITTING THE WATER THE CANAL IS BECOMING LESS AND LESS VIABLE SIMPLY UNABLE TO HANDLE THE SHEER MAGNITUDE OF THE NEW SHIPS HOWEVER THATrsquoS ALL GOING TO CHANGE
A GUESSING GAME
DEPENDING ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT THERE IS ONE OF TWO THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN IN THIS SCENARIO THE FIRST IS THAT FREIGHT RATES WILL SIMPLY DROP
THE SECOND OPTION IS THAT THE CANAL EXPANSION WILL SIMPLE CREATE AN INFLUX OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES THINK ABOUT IT SMALLER CARRIER COMPANIES ARE AFFORDED A GREAT DEAL MORE FLEXIBILITY BY BEING ABLE TO USE THE CANAL AND CAN THEREBY SPUR ON GLOBAL TRADE
BEING ABLE TO USE THE CANAL AGAIN MEANS THAT CARRIERS WILL BE ABLE TO CUT DOWN A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THEIR TRANSIT TIME THUS LOWERING THE OVERALL PRICE FOR MOVING FREIGHT TO THE US EAST AND WEST COASTS
