Unprecedented seaport congestion has reinforced the importance of infrastructure improvements to create efficiencies and better manage container flows. Most Gulf and East Coast ports are focusing on equipment updates, software enhancements, and improvements to accommodate the massive new containerships on order. A record 2.5 million TEUs of new containerships are scheduled for delivery this year. The Port of Savannah is increasing rail capacity, deepening and straightening existing berths at its Garden City Terminal to increase capacity for the larger vessels, and transforming the current multipurpose ocean terminal to accommodate container trade. Port Houston's ship channel project will enable larger vessels to call at this major Gulf Coast port. |
