"If you've seen one port, you've seen one port." I'm not sure who first made this statement, but many of us in the port industry have heard it more than once. We certainly can't argue its accuracy. One thing I have learned from serving on the board of the Inland Rivers, Ports & Terminals (IRPT) for the past several years is that there is not a one-size-fits-all solution for our ports and terminals. Some of us build things, some of us grow things, and some of us provide multi-modal solutions to get these products to their destinations. We all play an important role, no matter the size of our footprint. However, we can all agree that we can benefit from funding for infrastructure improvements or operations and maintenance of our waterways, from legislation that creates a level playing field for all our ports and terminals and from educational programs, especially for security and resilience. |
