1 Jim Murphy U.S. Maritime Administration Eastern Gulf Lower Mississippi Gateway Director

2 Maritime Administration Mission: To improve and strengthen the U.S. marine transportation system - including infrastructure, industry and labor - to meet the economic and security needs of the Nation.

3 Port Infrastructure and Economic Growth U.S. Seaports and Waterways Global Gateways Of Commerce Critical to the Transportation System and Economy Port Infrastructure - Falling Behind Proposed Port Infrastructure Development Program

4 2007 Freight Volume/Day 4

5 Major U.S. Sea Ports and Long Haul Trucking 5

6 Ports Contribution to the Economy Vessels that transport cargo through U.S. seaports move 99.4 percent of the nation s overseas trade by volume, and 65.5 percent by value. ( Port-Related Infrastructure Investments Can Reap Dividends, by Kurt Nagle, President and CEO of AAPA. Industry Today, Vol 14, Issue 3) 6

7 Failure to Act The Port Challenge American Society of Civil Engineers Failure to Act Report 13 September If the current level of (federal) investment continues, the cost will be a Loss of 738,000 jobs by 2020 and $700 Billion in GDP. By 2040 those losses amount to1.4 million jobs and a $4 trillion loss in GDP. During a National Port Summit hosted by former Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, participants made it clear that port infrastructure suffers from a lack of focused and systematic investment. (Second National Port Summit, April 21, 2011, Chicago, IL.) 7

8 Port Challenges: A Growing Population Will Stress Capacity U.S. Population Growth Projection Source: Jeffery S. Passel and D'Vera Cohn, U.S. Population Projections: (Washington, DC: Pew Research Center, February 14,

9 Current Challenges & Issues Lessened by Marine Highways Gridlock: A single vessel can shift over 450 trucks or 225 rail cars from road and rail corridors to our underutilized waterways. Environment: On average, inland vessels generate 38% less greenhouse gases than trucks and 28% less than rail per ton-mile. Energy: Inland vessels move one ton of freight 370% further than trucks (576 miles compared to trucking s 155 miles) and 139% further than rail s 413 miles. Safety: Inland marine transportation involves only 1 fatality for every 155 by truck and 22 by rail for each billion ton-miles.

10 StrongPorts Program Legislation: Authorizes Port Infrastructure Development Program (2010 National Defense Authorization Act (PL )) Purpose: Promote, Encourage, Develop Ports and Transportation Facilities in Connection with Water Commerce Secretary of Transportation, through the Maritime Administrator shall establish a port infrastructure development program for the improvement of port facilities. Provide technical assistance as needed for project planning, design and construction. Coordinate with Federal agencies to expedite NEPA. Coordinate reviews or requirements with local state and federal agencies. Receive (Federal, non-federal, private) funds to further projects. 10

11 StrongPorts Program Primary Objective: Improve state of repair, capacity, efficiency and environmental sustainability of all U.S. ports. Leverage existing programs where possible Improve port competitiveness for public (Federal, State and local) and private funds through enhanced planning and engagement Factors, Goals and Methodologies to Consider Ensure Federal role is appropriate to circumstances Right Size, not Super Size Competition among/between ports is essential minimize impact Program must be effective with no new Federal Funds New money only increases scope of program benefits. Address the real challenges ports face, not perceived - Consensus Program should benefit all ports, not just a select few. 11

12 Program Framework - Phase 1 Category I Planning & Engagement All Ports Low Federal Oversight No Market Interference Category II Financing Limited No. of Ports Moderate Federal Oversight Minimal Market Interference Category III Project Management Very Few Ports High Federal Oversight Minimal Market Interference Public Benefit & Public Stake A. Guidelines & Data: Sector advocate through analysis & showcasing opportunities/consequences regarding port role/investment B. Assistance: Financing: Direct funding support via existing/future programs Project Mgt: Increased Federal project assistance where unique Federal interest exists Direct support to individual ports (upon request) Authority: 46 USC, Section
