New Perspectives on US PortsNovember 2, 2018

What’s Changing in 2019

§ Federal Policy Evolution

§ Port Typology Defined

§ Trends in Port Infrastructure Development Projects

§ Intelligent Transportation System Efforts

§ Port Capacity Evolution – Impact of the Panama Canal Expansion

§ Container Terminal Operations – a new perspective

Federal Policy Evolution

Yesterday

§ Focus on containerized cargo since 1970’s.

§ Sporadic mention of energy ports.

§ About 18 federal agencies touch ports, each in a different way.

§ “Infrastructure” defined by US Army Corps of Engineers as Locks and Dams

§ Federal assistance provided through earmarks until 2011 when banned

§ Ports viewed individually by federal government

Today

§ Ports infrastructure projects compete for federal grants with other modes – receive approx. 10% of funds available; note: ports average 8% of all modal applications for assistance from infrastructure programs at USDOT

§ Movement to recognize all 8 types of port facilities.

§ Effort underway to harmonize how the 18+ federal agencies identify ports.

§ “Infrastructure” defined by USDOT as including intermodal connectors and certain equipment

What is Certain Equipment?

§Some federal programs will allow port equipment to be eligible for assistance.

§ “Surface transportation infrastructure” is defined as elements fixed to the ground. Large ship-to-shore cranes are considered fixed as they can only move the length of the rails upon which they are mounted.

§Cranes may be subject to Buy American Act requirements Verify before applying for assistance

TIFIA & RRIF Low Interest Loans

§Good news: Ports are eligible as hubs for the direct intermodal exchange of freight

§Other news: Maintenance sheds, administration facilities, chassis storage, repair facilities, security systems, lighting, fencing, gate systems are not eligible for TIFIA

What’s New for 2018 - 2019

Port Typology

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.

Port Typology (cont’d)


§ 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, and liquid bulk products; may have silos or warehouses near dock, or be connected by conveyor belts; 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.

Port Typology (cont’d)


§ 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.

Intelligent Transportation Systems

16

USDOT in conjunction with intelligent transportation systems (ITS) research programs, seeks to increase cargo capacity and reliability of freight moving through ports

MARAD is engaged in a multi-year research program that seeks to achieve two primary goals:

1) To identify opportunities to conduct research that addresses critical freight movement and ITS infrastructure gaps

2) To identify opportunities at ports for pilot projects and programs to be deployed including technology transfer

Current ITS Initiatives Related to Ports

17

Truck/Gate Staging Study

§ State of the Practice and Business Case Assessment

§ Best Practice Report

Port Planning & Investment Toolkit

§ ITS Module w/American Assn of Port Authorities - to assist ports in the

planning, feasibility, funding, and deployment of ITS applications.

ATCMTD Grants (FHWA)

§ to develop model deployment sites for large scale installation and

operation of advanced transportation technologies to improve safety,

efficiency, system performance, and infrastructure return on investment.

This can include advance transportation management technologies, i.e.,

intermodal coordination, and technologies associated with autonomous

vehicles, including ships and boats.

Community Development Block Grant

18

Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties, including for economic development and community facilities

Eligible grantees are as follows:§ Principal cities of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs)

§ Other metropolitan cities with populations of at least 50,000

§ Qualified urban counties with populations of at least 200,000 (excluding the population of entitled cities)

CDBG funds may be used for activities which include, but are not limited to:§ Acquisition of real property

§ Relocation and demolition

§ Rehabilitation of residential and non-residential structures

§ Construction of public facilities and improvements, such as water and sewer facilities, streets, neighborhood centers, and the conversion of school buildings for eligible purposes

§ Public services, within certain limits

§ Activities relating to energy conservation and renewable energy resources

§ Provision of assistance to profit-motivated businesses to carry out economic development and job creation/retention activities

Community Development Block Grant

19

Each activity must meet one of the following national objectives for the program:

§ Benefit low- and moderate-income persons

§ Prevention or elimination of slums or blight

§ Address community development needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate threat to the health or welfare of the community for which other funding is not available

Contact your local municipal or county officials to find out how the program operates in your area

§ HUD does not provide CDBG assistance directly to individuals, businesses, nonprofit or organizations or other non-governmental entities
