But…"Unless the US does a better job of
maintaining its navigation channels… our channel dimensions will not keep pace with larger ships," Kurt Nagle, chief executive of the American Association of Port Authorities
“Everything is connected – the rivers, the railroads, Panama. We’re concerned about the logistics up and down the [Mississippi] river and our ability to feed the canal.” Kendell Keith, president of the National Grain and Feed Association.

Expert and Industry Expectations
Since 2005, average annual transit times ranged from 31.5 to 23 hours, and half or more may be spent waiting (ACP, 2005-2009)
New locks are widely expected to reduce wait times

Expert and Industry Expectations New locks allow post-Panamax vessels
to navigate Canal Adoption is limited by capabilities of
destination ports

Expert and Industry Expectations US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)
and PCA predict “a substantial increase in containerized traffic” in general; some industry reports see same trend for grain Agricultural exporters surveyed were
uncertain about impacts on containerization• Many already deal in containerized grain
![Page 30: Effect of the Panama Canal Expansion on US Grain …cnas.tamu.edu/SAEA 12 Panama Canal Expansion and Grains...Project components include the expansion and creation of channels on the](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022041118/5f2f0c112b749866ff563f62/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Expert and Industry Expectations Impacts on rates are uncertain USACE (2007) predicts lower overall costs and
continued competitiveness with US intermodal system• But USDA (2008) sees trend of increasing ocean
rates leading to competitive disadvantage compared to West Coast ports
Newly approved tolls for 2011 raise rates by 14% or $10/TEU• New structure incentivizes container backhaul
Industry survey inconclusive—shows conflicting/uncertain expectations
