E. 8 Kinds of Ports Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure: Container - needs larger contiguous acres, cranes and equipment to • move containers, may need fumigation services; vessels can be very large, needs extra depth at berth • Cruise – cruise facilities are best separated from cargo operations at ports for safety of passengers, but they must also accommodate provisioning by 75 or more trucks per vessel per day as well as baggage from passengers; cruise ship ‘home ports’ are those where passengers board the vessel and return at the end of the cruise – these need safe, secure parking facilities within a close walk, a nearby airport and facilities for buses, taxis and rental cars; ‘ports of call’ are those where the vessel arrives for less than a day to allow passengers to visit the region. These require safe, accessible transit options such as bus or taxi for passengers. All cruise ports are required to accommodate needs of vessel crew members. 6
E. 8 Kinds of Ports (cont) Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure: • Energy – handles liquid bulk, has pipelines, tanks and berths for very large vessels; needs extra depth at berth • Ro/Ro (roll on/roll off) – handles vehicle and heavy equipment exports and imports; needs ramps, docks with width, may offer value added services for vehicle prep Break bulk – handles steel, forest products, refrigerated products • not in containers; needs laydown yards, specialized warehousing, may need fumigation services • Bulk – handles aggregates for construction and road building, fertilizers for agriculture, agricultural exports such as rice, wheat, soy, etc.; may have silos or warehouses near dock, or be connected by conveyor belts; rail access, may need extra depth at berth Commercial Fishing – may have a ro/ro ramp, or allow commercial • fishing fleet to raft up, or discharge alongside the dock. May have waterfront freezer or fish processing facilities nearby. 7
E. 8 Kinds of Ports (cont) Different cargoes and passengers require different port infrastructure: Space – handles rockets for refurbishment, drone barges/vessels, • proximity to hangar, needs adequate room for operations and possibly a clean room in proximity to the dock, special road connectors may be required to accommodate high, wide and heavy loads. Currently 19 Spaceports in the U.S. $350 billion industry that is • projected to grow to $2.7 trillion in 30 years. 8
SE. 2017 $66 Billion Needed for Port-Related Infrastructure over next 10 Years • Port Industry identified $66B in Federal Investment – Nearly $34 billion in waterside projects (dredging) • $ 27.6 billion needed to maintain deep-draft navigation channels • $6.2 billion needed to modernize deep-draft navigation channels – $32 billion for landside projects • $28.9 billion to modernize road and rail connectors to Ports • $3.13 billion to improve Port facility infrastructure • Ports plan to Spend $155B over next 5 years Source: American Assoc of Port Auth (AAPA) Survey Member Ports – 2017 America: Keep It Moving 9
