    Editorial: Savannah port project to make difference at many levels

    This week’s groundbreaking for the Mason Megarail project at the Georgia Ports Authority was indeed momentous for port employees and importers who want to get their products faster to consumers in the Midwest. Closer to home, it’s a huge deal for anyone who drives anywhere near the port on a given day or on any of the adjacent interstate highways leaving Savannah. A growing number of twenty-foot equivalent containers will leave the port by rail, not trucks. The project will d

    Louisiana Offshore Oil Port Loads Second Supertanker with U.S. Crude for Export

    NEW YORK, March 28 (Reuters) – A second supertanker laden with U.S. crude set sail in March from the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP), the largest privately owned crude terminal in the United States, the company said in a statement late on Tuesday. The very large crude carrier (VLCC), Nave Photon, was chartered by Houston-based Shell Trading Company US and the cargo was headed for Asia, according to market sources familiar with the matter and Reuters vessel tracking data.

    $127 Million Savannah Port Rail Hub Expected to Take 200,000 Trucks Off State’s Freeways

    Across a highway from the gates to the Port of Savannah, crews have cleared trees and driven pilings into the sandy soil to support bridges and a lattice of future rail lines. Though the construction site is only a few hundred feet from where cranes load and offload freight from giant cargo ships, Georgia Ports Authority officials said the project’s reach will stretch for thousands of miles and could mean billions of dollars in new trade for the state. On March 27, the ports
    Lower container dwell time points to efficiency at Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach

    Lower container dwell time points to efficiency at Ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach

    Dwell time, measured by the number of days containers are on a terminal after being off loaded from a ship, is viewed as a key benchmark of a terminal’s efficiency. Container dwell time at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach improved in February despite historic volumes at both ports for the month of February. Dwell time, measured by the number of days containers are on a terminal after being off loaded from a ship, is viewed as a key benchmark of a terminal’s efficiency.

    SpaceX has been given initial approval by the Port of Los Angeles to acquire and develop a massive vacant lot into a facility capable of manufacturing the first BFR prototypes and refurbishing the company’s reusable Falcon 9 boosters. This approval is without a doubt the biggest step forward yet for the company’s ultimate goal of sending massive spaceships to Mars. A request summary completed on March 6 details SpaceX’s proposal, laying out a bright future of rocket manufactu

    Two EXMAR Very Large Gas Carriers will be LPG fueled

    MARCH 2, 2018 — While plenty of people have been studying the potential of LPG as a marine fuel, Antwerp headquartered EXMAR has taken the plunge.

The ships have been contracted to serve long-term commitments with Statoil ASA of Norway for worldwide LPG transportation.

    Zukunft delivers his final State of the Coast Guard address

    MARCH 2, 2018 — Adm. Paul Zukunft, Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, delivered the State of the Coast Guard Address Thursday at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.

    GPA: 10M-TEU capacity in 10 years

    At the 50th annual Georgia Foreign Trade Conference Monday, GPA Executive Director Griff Lynch reviewed the strategic plan for Georgia's ports that will allow for 10 million twenty-foot equivalent container units, 1 million rail lifts, and more than 1 million auto and machinery units per year. "Georgia is home to both the single largest container and roll-on/roll-off facilities in North America," Lynch said. "Our goal is to maximize capacity, create jobs and reduce impact on

    Big boost to economy expected with North Charleston container terminal development

    As work continues on a 280-acre container terminal in North Charleston's port, those close to the project are predicting a significant boost to the region's economy. The South Carolina Ports Authority has completed preliminary demolition, site preparation and containment wall construction on the more than $700 million Hugh K. Leatherman development, named after the Republican member of the South Carolina Senate. It will be the only permitted new container terminal on the East
    Mayors Skeptical of Trump Infrastructure Plan

    Mayors Skeptical of Trump Infrastructure Plan

    When big-city mayors met in Washington last week, one of their primary messages regarding infrastructure was that the federal government should send new money directly to cities, rather than through states. The Trump administration seems open to the idea. “The folks in this room turn dirt faster than anybody in America,” New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu said at a meeting on infrastructure at the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ meeting last week. “We think that cities are the place
