  • Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports
    Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports July 2012 Committee for the Study of U.S. Inland Containerized Cargo Moving Through Canadian and Mexican Seaports Richard A. Lidinsky, Jr. - Chairman Lowry A. Crook - Former Chief of Staff Ronald Murphy - Managing Director Rebecca Fenneman - General Counsel Olubukola Akande-Elemoso - Office of the Chairman Lauren Engel - Office of the General Counsel Michael Gordon - Office of the Managing Director Jason Guthrie - Office of Consumer Affairs and Dispute Resolution Services Gary Kardian - Bureau of Trade Analysis Dr. Roy Pearson - Bureau of Trade Analysis Paul Schofield - Office of the General Counsel Matthew Drenan - Summer Law Clerk Jewel Jennings-Wright - Summer Law Clerk Foreword Thirty years ago, U.S. East Coast port officials watched in wonder as containerized cargo sitting on their piers was taken away by trucks to the Port of Montreal for export. At that time, I concluded in a law review article that this diversion of container cargo was legal under Federal Maritime Commission law and regulation, but would continue to be unresolved until a solution on this cross-border traffic was reached: “Contiguous nations that are engaged in international trade in the age of containerization can compete for cargo on equal footings and ensure that their national interests, laws, public policy and economic health keep pace with technological innovations.” [Emphasis Added] The mark of a successful port is competition. Sufficient berths, state-of-the-art cranes, efficient handling, adequate acreage, easy rail and road connections, and sophisticated logistical programs facilitating transportation to hinterland destinations are all tools in the daily cargo contest.

  • TRANSPORTATION and DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS in the INLAND EMPIRE: the Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal
    TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Pat Mc Inturff California State University, San Bernardino Management Department Jose L. Garcia California State University, San Bernardino Director, Inland Commerce and Security Institute Tania Paimar California State University, San Bernardino Research Associate June 25, 2009 1 TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Introduction Over the last decades the Inland Empire has emerged as a global distribution center with over 700 million square feet of distribution and warehouses under roof. Along with this phenomenal growth, the transp01iation infrastructure of the region has become over burdened and highly congested. Adding to the growth and an infrastructure stretched thin is the ongoing aiJival of super container ships at the po1is of Long Beach and Los Angeles. One proposal to lessen the pressure on the Southern California po1is has been the expansion ai1d redevelopment of P01i Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Once a favored port of cruise ships, the p01i has embarked on moving from principally a passenger destination to becoming a global port facility. The overall focus of this study is to analyze the impact of Po1i Ensenada upon the Inland Empire by addressing identifiable consequences upon the transp01iation infrastructure including highway, rail, and shipping utilization and flow of goods in relation to existing and expected wai·ehouses and distribution centers. Phase one of this study will consist primai·ily of the collection of archival research, public writings and the understanding of the Port of Ensenada project proposals along with its cmTent developmental status.
