Logistic parks Ports Rail connections

The expansion will extend the Canal’s area of influence

N N W E S Bigger vessels will bring more transshipment to the Caribbean S

Ports: ready or not ready New vessel configurations will limit the number of ports that can receive these vessels

• Deployment of larger mother vessels in Asia-USEC route Containers • Larger area of influence • Increased transshipment and bigger feeder network • More competitive USG-Asia grain trade through the use of larger vessels Dry Bulk • Potential for increased trade of coal to Asia/China. • Opportunities in top-off operations • More competitive Ecuador – USG crude shipments vs alternative sources. Liquid Bulk • Potential for LNG trades between Trinidad-Chile and Peru-Spain and for USEC-Asia shale gas exports
