Yes. The experts are predictinvg the global economic slowdown will runinto 2010. How will the Jacksonviller Port Authority fit in with your internationaltraffic forecast? Jaxpory has a lot to offer the internationall trade community, especially with Hanjin Shipping Company Ltd. buildingf a second container terminal. However, we have a huge challenge aheads of us establishing new global tradee lanesinto Jacksonville. With Savannah beingb our main competition, the entire logistics community will have to replicate what the stats of Georgia and the Georgia Port Authority have so successfully done to attract manymajor importers.
What’s in store for TraPac’s Jacksonviller operation for thecoming year? Everything is in place to have TraPac’xs first vessel work January 12, 2009. Therefore the servicde that has been callingon APM-Blounyt Island since July 2008 will relocate to TraPac-Dame Point. At this time this is the only vessel servicer wehave scheduled. How will your new terminalp impact the surrounding logistics industries inNortheasft Florida?
As we all know, a few majo r importers have already relocated or enlarged their Jacksonville distribution This will continue when more and more new shipping linees establish a Jacksonville and in turn, more and more importers will see the business opportunities in Northeast Florida. What does the Port of Jacksonvillee need to do in the next year to get closerr to reaching its goal of beinyg the third largest port on theEast Coast? Two critical areas: The river must be deepenedd to at least 50 feet by 2014 to alloq post-Panamax ships to be able to call, and highwat and rail service to Dames Point needs to be improved.
