  1. The U.S. West Coast — Gateway to America Seattle Tacoma Portland Oakland Los Angeles Long Beach Service Network Cost Efficiency Reliability Responsibility

  2. Growing Consumer Market In the Year 2010 193 million consumers 63% of the total US population In the Year 2030 228 million people 35 million person increase (+18%)

  3. Extensive Shipping Service Options Seattle Tacoma Portland Oakland Los Angeles Long Beach • Service String Choices • 25+ Carriers • 50+ Unique Service Strings • Calling at over 80 ports in 36 countries • 100+ Sailings to/from the West Coast per week

  8. West Coast Ports Infrastructure Advantages 31 Container Terminals 5,110Acres 225Gantry Cranes $6.6 billion in container terminal, rail, dredging, roadway and other infrastructure improvement projects

  9. Qingdao to Columbus – Distance by Gateway Nautical Intermodal Gateway miles Mileage Seattle / Tacoma 5,101 2,689 Portland 5,155 2,512 Oakland 5,408 2,383 LA / LB 5,706 2,478 Norfolk 11,274 422 New York / New Jersey 11,519 476

  10. West Coast Carbon Emissions Advantages A study was conducted in 2009 to analyze CO2 output of trade routes. Following is the findings of emissions between Shanghai and U.S. Midwest gateways using various ports. Origin: Shanghai CO2 emissions (metric tons/TEU) Discharge Port Ship Size Chicago Columbus Memphis Seattle / Tacoma / Portland 6,500 TEU 1.579 1.664 1.715 Oakland 6,500 TEU 1.686 1.772 1.694 Los Angeles / Long Beach 6,500 TEU 1.672 1.757 1.672 New York via Panama Canal 4,500 TEU 2.520 2.468 2.574 Norfolk via Panama Canal 4,500 TEU 2.493 2.401 2.482 Savannah via Panama Canal 4,500 TEU 2.469 2.556 2.369 Houston via Panama Canal 4,500 TEU 2.470 2.510 2.323 • Transportation to mid-west locations via U.S. west coast has a smaller carbon footprint than other U.S. gateways. • Even in 2014, when the Panama Canal expansion is complete and larger ships begin to transit the canal, West Coast ports will maintain their carbon emissions advantage.
