PORTMIAMI IS COUNTING DOWN The opening of the expanded
Panama Canal is fast approaching. The countdown is on, and PortMiami, the
first port of call on the Asia-to-US route via the Canal, will be the
ONLY Atlantic Seaboard port south of Norfolk, Virginia with a channel
deep enough to accommodate the super-sized container cargo vessels that
will begin passing through the expanded Canal in 2015. Already the Cargo
Gateway to the Americas, PortMiami is ideally positioned to capture new
East-West trade opportunities as shipping patterns shift to Atlantic
ports. With more than $2 billion in major infrastructure investments now
underway, PortMiami will not only be "big ship" ready in 2015,
but one of the most ambitious capital programs in the Port's history will
ensure that goods move quickly and efficiently from cargo yards to
consumer markets.
NEW TRADE OPPORTUNITIES The opening of the expanded Panama
Canal will bring new opportunities for the container cargo trade in this
part of the world. South Florida's locale, at the nexus of the Americas,
makes PortMiami an efficient entry point for goods flowing to and from
U.S. markets, and a strategic transshipment hub for Asian goods destined
for Latin America.
