Port Industry ChallengesPort Industry Challenges

Port Region Container Capacity SummariesPort Region Container Capacity Summaries

Southport expansion, terminal reconfiguration, higher density and lower dwell should accommodate growth

South Florida

Bayport, Choctaw and some combination of Tampa, Texas City, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, Millennium Port will likely generate surplus capacity

Gulf

North Atlantic, particularly with the AMPT-Portsmouth terminal should provide adequate capacity. The South Atlantic will need to improve density and reduce dwells. A significant increase in Suez services would pose challenges.

Atlantic

Tacoma has largest expansion potential although port-rail and continued PSW diversions pose challenges

PNW

LA/LB face significant capacity challenges during the next five years. Environmental regulation, enforcement and associated costs are key drivers. Oakland will likely have adequate capacity
