2 21 st Century Ports Have a Wide Range of Expanding Challenges Ports are part of an international intermodal transportation system comprised of marine, road, rail and air modes. A bump in one part of the system, ripples throughout all of it. Commerce is driven by economic conditions with integral industries that have varied growth and decline cycles. Commerce must cope with a wide range of inconsistent regulatory requirements often within single nations. The United States lacks a comprehensive and systematic port and transportation policy that takes a systematic approach. FMC Study 2012

US/CANADA $1.9 Trillion spent in Transportation-2017 Annual Gross Domestic Product 9% US/ 4.5% CAN 13 Billion tons of goods-all modes International: 95% by Water, <5% by Air CAN 1.1 Billion Tons U.S Billion Tons o Truck-9.5 billion tons (67% of all domestic cargo moves) o Barge-624 million domestic tons (14% of intercity freight) o Rail-1.8 billion domestic tons 12.3 million containers and trailers, 70% of coal, 58% ores, 30% grain Intl Cargo by Rail: 33% U.S., 30% Canada

6 Successful Business Development Comes from Gathering and Using Good Data Port professionals MUST have a comprehensive understanding of what is happening in the worldwide system and how their ports are impacted. be able to work with boards and commissions comprised of personnel who often only have a high level understanding of the ports they set policies for. educate the public about the positive impacts ports have on their quality of life. help political leaders and bureaucrats understand the critical importance of supporting port activities. work against parochial interests to the benefit of all.

7 Ports and Terminals Have a Synergistic Relationship Ports are significant corporations. Public ports live in the semi-public sector and function as economic engines with a positive business approach. Private terminals and public ports are inter-dependent and rely on each other for growth, development and success. Public ports are stewards of public assets. Terminals create jobs and facilitate commerce.

8 Roles & Responsibilities of Public/Private Ports Ports & Terminals are Critical Assets They are Economic Engines They Must be Managed for Success! Successful Ports/Terminals are: Planned Properly Managed Professionally Financially Responsible Develop Innovative Investment Resources Reliable in Their Service Offerings and Claims Partners in a Region s Economic Development Support Commercial Business Development

Administration involves utilizing proper management skills to provide leadership for professional staffs and the port community as a whole.
