Operational factors
Economies of scale in shipping
Changes in the frequency of services, port calls and network configuration.
Shipping costs structure (e.g. tolls and fuel)
Comparative advantages of respective routing options (landbridge, Suez, all-water).
Competitive factors
Response from East and West coast ports
Comparative advantages of port selection. New transshipment hubs.
Response from railways Comparative advantages of inland routes.
Response from Suez Canal and transshipment hubs
Comparative advantages of routing options.
New gateways Additional inland routing options (e.g. Prince Rupert and Lazaro Cardenas).
