2004 California Crisis • West Coast problem was compounded by many issues: • Trade growth and inadequate customer forecasting • Shortage of longshore labor and lower productivity of new hires • Port congestion • State and Federal regulations • Intermodal equipment (railcar, locomotive) and crew shortages • Terminal crane capacity • Rail volume capacity (ramp, on dock rail limits, trackage pinch point at Cajon Pass) • Strained truck capacity and limited trailer availability • Chassis shortage • Larger Mega Ships • Rising costs of doing business

Shipping Landscape • New mega ships increase trade capacity • Global trade growth outpaces United States infrastructure, including port, railroad, trucking, terminal and warehouse. • Congestion & delays reduce effective vessel capacity • Panama Canal approaches 100% capacity • Supply chains become pro-longed and segmented West (intermodal) and East (all-water) • Cross-industry collaboration and synchronized activities improved shipment performance & efficiency after 2004 crisis Here’s how:
2006 Port Congestion: Beyond 2006 • US Ports Lag International Productivity: • Throughput (Teu) per gross acre: • East Coast /Gulf 4,100 • West Coast 4,600 • Major world ports 10,000 to 15,000

Cross Industry Collaboration: Ocean Carrier and Terminal Action • More labor, high capacity cranes and terminal equipment (resources) • Convert from wheeled to grounded operations: increase terminal capacity (space) • Extend Terminal’s Hours of Service “Pier-Pass” appointment system to increase capacity (time) • Implemented on July 23, 2005 • Over 30% of daily cargo moves during off-peak • 1 Million container milestone December 2005
Cross Industry Collaboration: Ocean Carrier and Terminal Action • Redeploy ships to East Coast and Pacific Northwest ports to balance port capacity: (asset utilization) • Reduce terminal free time from 5 to 4 days to accelerate goods movement (velocity) • Implement 1st receiving dates for exports to minimize terminal congestion (space) • Synchronize block stowage and promote on dock rail to improve intermodal rail performance and maximize terminal efficiency (congestion) • Develop off-dock Container Yards to relieve terminal congestion (overflow capacity)
Cargo Interest • Order earlier and prepare to hold more inventory in your pipeline • Move information up your supply chain (at origin) and available at least 24 hours prior vessel loading • Align your delivery schedules with changes in the international delivery process • Focus more on time definite vs. time to market and avoid “double dipping” • Use “cost of goods sold” profit model (20 cents a kilo vs. 6 dollars a kilo?) to build your supply chain

Increased Cost of Liner Shipping • Bunker fuel and inland fuel • Additional labor • Terminal • Extended operation hours • Wheeled to ground operation (expensive yard machinery) • Terminal appointment system • Storage charges have increased • Equipment • Trade imbalance (import: export) increases empty repositioning • Cost of equipment is up as steel costs doubled • Carriers are building larger vessels but equipment supply lags behind • Rail • Trucking
Future Outlook & Trends • Intermodal rail service improves • More “Hub and Spoke” shipments (inland distribution) • Less West Coast transloading • More East Coast distribution using trucks instead of rail • Integration of international with domestic transportation • International intermodal outpaces domestic growth • Railroads drive double stack intermodal • Smaller and more frequent shipments favor container vs. trailer • Cost and environmentally friendly for shipments >700 miles Domestic infrastructure changes to accommodate international • CPRR bans cross Canada intermodal trailers effective January 1st 2006 (others to follow) • TTX converting 48’ car wells to 40’ wells • New flatcar wells will be mostly 40’
Future Outlook and Trends • Economy of Scale & Asset Utilization • More and larger container vessels • More and larger consortia of carriers • More mergers and Acquisitions • Don’t put all your eggs in one basket • Liner shipping logistics plays a more strategic role in supply chain including domestic applications • Technology drives standardized efficiency, shipment visibility and Home Land Security applications • Moving towards a global economy
