Charleston -‘Top 5’ container port by 2020?

Posted on September 17, 2015 by | 1 comment

This is ridiculous. Not every East Coast US port can be top 5!!  Last week it was Houston!  And where are Savannah and Miami and Jacksonville?   How many of these investments will be lost?

“The Third Coast” Port of Houston

Posted on September 14, 2015 by | 1 comment

An interesting take on the rapid developments in container movements.  Houston and the Gulf Coast ports have some impetus.  Where can you distribute from there?

While the West Coast struggles with congestion and dysfunctional politics, the Third Coast – the urbanized, broadly coastal region spanning the Gulf from Brownsville, Texas, to greater Tampa – is emerging as a center of industry, innovation, and economic growth.
