Large Ships “You can debate their impact, but you cannot deny that they are coming!” – said by a Roman General referring to the Huns in 425 AD That being the case, planning and preparing for them is the responsible course.

CMA CGM CORTE REAL, Long Beach CA The largest CMA CGM vessel to call North America Thank You! 13,830 TEUs
A Quick Size Comparison CMA CGM MARCO POLO 16000 Class of Container Ships Main particulars Length over all 1299.21 ft Breadth 175.85 ft Depth to main deck 98.09 ft Draught, scantling 52.49 ft Air draft (aftertilting) 219.81 ft Deadweight on Ts 187,626 Ton Lightshipweight 54,400 Ton Service Speed 24,1 knots
Efficiency Comparison • Ships carry 99% of overseas trade in volume terms and 62% in value terms, the remainder being conveyed by air. • 90% of all international trade moves by sea • Globally, the ton-miles of freight moved by water are more than twice the total ton-miles moved by road, railway, and air combined. • Water transportation is less costly and more efficient than other modes of transport: http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/aboutus/competitiveness.html

Some Hard Numbers What can be expected operationally as ships get larger? 5100 = USEC Workhorse 8500 = USEC Largest
Large Ships Large Ships Present Two Major Challenges 1 = Size of the ships 2 = Highly Concentrated Volumes of Cargo • Rail Impact • Longer Trains • Flatcar Availability • Double Stack • On Dock Rail • Higher Ramp Traffic Concentration • Origin & Destination • Dedicated Trains/Corridors • Port Impact • Harbor Depth (& Air Draft) • Berths – 1300 Foot? • Cranes – Reach (20+), How Many Per Berth? • Moves Per Hour Critical • On Dock Rail • Back of Crane Infrastructure • Gates • Intense “Peak Days” • Highways • Pilots & Tugs • Customer Impact • Concentrated Flows = High Velocity • Potential Warehouse Stresses • Improved Schedule Reliability • Dray Power Challenges Effectively Managing These Issues Will Result In Improved Efficiency Throughout the Supply Chain

As you can see…. Norfolk and Baltimore are well positioned with plenty of draft and capacity, as well as on-dock rail. Charleston faces challenges without on-dock rail (although a virtual substitute is offered), and potential tidal sailing requirements. NCT’s shortage of super PPM cranes may be an issue as well. Savannah has on-dock rail, but limited channel depth. However, Savannah has the advantage of major customer distribution centers directly adjacent to the terminal facility.
