4 Current State Summary The economic recession has slowed freight volumes worldwide Although not currently an issue, congestion at LA/Long Beach, combined with the geographic constraints for growth, have made alternative ports and trade routes more attractive. Container ships are increasing in size to take advantage of cost savings provided by economies of scale. Panama Canal is opening up to accommodate larger ships The east and gulf coast ports are making infrastructure improvements in anticipation of long-term growth 7 Future Supply Chain Trends and Potential Impact on Industrial Real Estate Transportation represents one of the largest cost buckets important to have efficient and effective inbound and outbound transportation Intermodal / rail options increasingly more attractive Sustainability/cost benefits Resiliency risk mitigation Expansion of Panama Canal driving interest in east and gulf coast port locations Closer proximity to U.S. population centers Availability of less expensive land/facilities Aggressive business and economic incentives Port diversification strategies more prevalent Trend to shorten supply chain near sourcing (e.g., Mexico vs. China) Inland ports expected to increase in importance Kansas City, Columbus, Chicago, etc. Availability of business & economic incentives, as well as labor issues, drive businesses to the southeast U.S. Increasing fuel costs will drive interest in more/smaller versus fewer/larger 8 NAIOP Do not reproduce or distribute without permission. 4
