13 Port of Davisville -- Auto Import Growth In 2011 Davisville was 7 th largest auto import facility in North America and continues to grow Automobile imports volumes have quadrupled since ,084 to 150, Auto Imports

14 Port of Davisville Auto Import Origins

15 Port of Davisville - Intermodal Capabilities NORAD Ship to truck Rail to truck Seafreeze Ship to rail America s Cup (100 containers) Ship to truck (inbound from Europe) Truck to rail (outbound to California) Catamaran Ship to ship Transformer Ship to 16 axle shirley

16 Port of Davisville -- TIGER QWEST Projects RAIL Spur Building 318 Rebuild track in port area TERMINALS Grading, drainage, paving PORT ROADS Davisville Road resurfacing Tidal Drive extension Entrance Road PIER ONE Concrete deck repairs Marine hardware Lighting replacement PIER TWO Repairs and paving Corner fender Platforms / Crane beams Rail reconstruction CRANE OPERATIONS Mobile harbor crane

17 Port of Davisville RI s connection to Global Supply Chain 140 ton (150 MT) Mobile Harbor Crane in place Containers Project Cargo Breakbulk Cargo Terminal Operator Proposals under review Creates new public terminal for RI companies: Opens new supply chain transportation choices for shippers. Choices create modal competition and lower freight rates.

18 Percent of Total PORT OF DAVISVILLE Need for Dredging Histogram of Design Drought Draught (ft) Need to dredge: Volkswagen desires to bring in fully loaded ships Areas in the Davisville channel as shallow as minus 25 feet RI Pilots continue to express concern with draft limitations Port has not been dredged since original construction. Majority of auto vessels are: Length: 655 feet Beam: 106 feet Design Draft: minus 32 feet Port data shows: Average Draft of vessels arriving at the Port is 27 feet Ships do not arrive at Davisville fully loaded due to draft limitations 18

19 PORT OF DAVISVILLE Dredging Program Maintenance dredging of existing channel Dredge to minus 32 feet: Area shaded in gray About 260,000 cubic yards 19

21 PORT OF DAVISVILLE Testing and Permitting for Offshore Disposal Testing and sampling plan approved by Army Corp of Engineers and CRMC May 2011 Testing of sediment and organisms began June 2011; completed November 2011 No significant issues or contaminants identified Dredge material deemed suitable for offshore disposal Grain Size Report 10 Day Solid Phase Report SPP Assay Report Bulk Sediment Analysis Elutriate Analysis Bioaccumulation Study Tissue Analysis 21

23 PORT OF DAVISVILLE Dredging Project Summary The Port of Davisville is the 7 th largest auto importer in North America, and the 2 nd fastest growing. To maintain the existing business and continue to grow, a maintenance dredging project in the vicinity of the Davisville Piers is required. The area to be dredged is narrower than the existing defined channel. Recently completed testing and sampling showed no significant contamination or issues. The Port is pursuing the following cargo: wind components, project cargo, barge based containerized freight (as part of Marine Highway). A deeper channel can NOT be dredged due to limitations of the piers.

24 Panama Canal About the Project Vessel Length Beam Draft TEU s Panamax ,500 Post Panamax ,000 Canal is 48 miles, built in 1914 and not improved since then. Expansion is $5.2B with expected completion in 2015.

25 Panama Canal Implications for East Coast Redistribution of east and west coast container traffic zero-sum game Generally accepted that East Coast will receive more containers Over time, bigger canal servicing bigger ships will create consolidated load center ports at select East Coast terminals. NY/NJ Baltimore Norfolk Charleston Savannah Jacksonville Miami Midwest to Atlanta becomes battleground

26 Panama Canal Implications for Port of Davisville Development of hub and spoke Marine Highway system. Short Sea Shipping Routes most likely to develop in areas with most severe highway congestion. Potential feeder services between RI and any of the East Coast load center ports, but particularly mid-atlantic ports such as New York, Baltimore, and/or Norfolk.

27 Accomplishments since 2005 January 1, 2005 represents the date of QDC s enabling legislation and availability of 2004 G.O. bond proceeds. $297 million investment 2,800 new jobs 1,650,000 sq. ft. new building space 111 acres sold 143 acres leased 42 acres purchased to expand Park
