Florida Seaport System Plan Table 4.3 Critical Issues and Choices Facing Florida’s Seaports Issue Choices Markets Capacity Environment Land-Use Access Security Risk-and-Change Internal Competition Funding Public Understanding How to accommodate existing markets – domestic/international, container/non-container. How to attract new markets – China, transshipment, short-sea, cargo diversification, better integration with warehouse/distribution (the “Savannah Strategy”) through freight villages, etc. How to compete effectively with other South Atlantic and Gulf ports. How to provide physical expansion where needed. How to improve efficiency and productivity through technology and operations. How to mitigate marine and landside impacts. How to implement needed improvements in timely manner. How to protect seaports from non-port developments on adjacent properties. How to obtain or preserve land for terminals and port-related industries. How to provide needed improvements to channels, turning basins, berths. How to provide needed improvements to highways and railroads. How to eliminate or minimize redundancy and overlap of Florida and Federal seaport security requirements. How to reduce costs of equipment and day-to-day operations. How to improve customs inspection procedures and reduce impacts. How to provide adequate and flexible capacity to deal with service disruptions. How to provide adequate and flexible funding for “quick response” to challenges, opportunities. How to collaborate effectively with other Florida ports and further the economic goals of the State as a whole. How to ensure adequate, flexible funding for on-port and off-port infrastructure requirements. How to educate local and state leaders and the public about the importance of Florida’s seaports and engage them in preservation and expansion activities. In conjunction with these opportunities come risks. As Florida prepares for the changes in trade patterns, they will have to assume a certain amount of risk. In order to secure future business relationships, a port has to provide evidence it has the capacity, facilities and pricing to attract and adequately service the business. In some cases, this may mean deepening their shipping channels or updating their waterside infrastructure. In addition, as Florida ports discuss the right strategy, ports in other states are working on their own strategy that will provide serious competition to the amount of trade Florida ports can secure for the State. Some of the key factors are summarized in Table 4.4 following. Florida Department of Transportation 4-16 December 2010
Florida Seaport System Plan Table 4.4 Global Trends Impacting Florida’s Seaports Trend Issue Opportunity Challenge Global Economy • Rapid growth of China as producer and X consumer. • China’s disruption of established trade and X manufacturing patterns. • Continued growth of Florida’s traditional X X trading partners. Global Logistics • Continued globalization of production and X consumption. • Shippers spreading cargo to three coasts X (Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf) to minimize risk of service disruption – containerized and noncontainerized cargo – more China-direct service. • More global transshipment of containers. X X • Short-sea opportunities for Atlantic and Gulf X markets. • More cargo controlled by fewer shippers and X carriers who integrate with land-intensive warehouse/distribution systems. Technology • Better equipment, information systems, and X utilization of land and labor have made terminals more efficient. • Containerships getting larger; deeper X channels at some ports. Policy • Trade agreements (CAFTA, NAFTA, et al.). X X • Security requirements (cost and delay). X The Seaport System Plan Working Group discussed a variety of options and strategies to directly respond to these issues, opportunities, and challenges. These options and strategies are taken up in Section 6.0 of this Plan. 4-17 Florida Department of Transportation December 2010
