Trends and Background Info Container ships getting larger 1970’s 1,700 TEUs (10 wide) 1980’s 2,300 TEUs 1990’s 4,800 TEUs (Panamax) 2000’s 8,000 TEUs (17 wide) 2010’s 13,000 TEUs (21 wide) US Container Ports 63% West Coast 32% East Coast 5% Gulf Coast ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

US Container Ports Minneapolis 63% West Coast 32% East Coast 5% Gulf Coast Chicago •Most US container ports do not Cleveland connect to rivers, so containers Pittsburgh move inland via truck or rail. Kansas City St. Louis Louisville •Containers arriving New Orleans and Mobile can move to US Tulsa Nashville Little Rock Memphis Chattanooga heartland via rail, truck or barge. Birmingham •Inland waterway service providers must understand the needs of the global container Mobile New Orleans shipping community. •Global shippers must understand the COB option. ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

Three Reasons for Realistic Optimism Regarding Gulf Coast Container Trade • Congestion at East and West Coast ports • Significant Improvements on Gulf Coast • Expanded Panama Canal in 2014 Opportunities for COB are linked to growth of container traffic through Gulf Coast Ports. ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

Traditional business practices may work for traditional barged cargoes, but… ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

…COB business practices will need to be compatible with container shipper expectations. ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

Minneapolis COB Chicago Cleveland Reliability is vital. Pittsburgh Kansas City St. Louis Louisville Infrastructure is not the Tulsa Nashville foremost challenge. Little Rock Memphis Chattanooga Birmingham Understanding Mobile customer needs and New Orleans global logistics business practices is the challenge! ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

To make COB a reality, must provide real cost savings and returns to private sector To gain government support, must demonstrate benefits to society and environment ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates

Scope of Work for the MOV Intermodal Project Characterize existing freight movements, general container shipping patterns, volumes, rates, as well as area economic base General inventory of freight facilities Three container flow scenarios Apply COB lessons-learned elsewhere Describe fundamental scenario for success Chart path to get there ODOT November 10, 2009 WR Coles and Associates
