Abstract The study assesses exempt coastal shipping defined as exempted from the US-built stipulation of the Jones Act, operating with functional crews and exempted from Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT). The study focuses on two research questions: (a) the impact of the US-built exemption on the cost of coastal shipping; and (b) the competitiveness of exempt services.

  • The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada
    The Containerization of Commodities: Integrating Inland Ports with Gateways and Corridors in Western Canada Jean-Paul Rodrigue, PhD Van Horne Researcher in Transportation and Logistics Professor, Hofstra University April 2012 2 Executive Summary This report provides an analysis of the major trends in the containerization of commodities and looks at its commercial potential and operational hurdles. The setting of inland ports in Western Canada is seen as a strategy to help reconcile import (retail dominated) and export (commodities dominated) logistics. The containerization of commodities involves the development and expansion of a niche market that can fluctuate according to the price of the respective commodities, the nature and extent of the demand and container shipping rates. All of these are commodity specific and will convey new opportunities for commodity exporters and buyers alike. The last decade have been prone to the containerization of commodities as container shipping rates remained relatively constant while the price of most commodity groups doubled or tripled. Containerization enables a better level of inventory management of commodities. Yet, the availability of containers is a recurring challenge since maritime shipping companies, as dominant managers of containerized assets, will allocate them where there are commercial opportunities to recoup the costs of having these containers circulating outside their shipping and port networks. A growing level of intermodal integration is being observed in Western Canada, which reflects a trend observed across North America and elsewhere around the world. Inland ports are likely to be the missing multiplying effect that would encourage maritime shipping companies to have a larger number of containerized assets moving inland.

  • CONTAINERIZATION of GRAIN: THEORY and PRACTICE Barry E
    CONTAINERIZATION OF GRAIN: THEORY AND PRACTICE Barry E. Prentice, University of Manitoba Jake Kosior, Manitoba Infrastructure & Transportation1 In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not. —Albert Einstein The success of containerization in the past five decades is spectacular. “The container is at the core of a highly automated system for moving goods anywhere, to anywhere, with a minimum of cost and complication on the way” (Levinson, 2006: 2). The advantages of containers have attracted a growing range of products to switch from break-bulk or bulk shipping to containerization. The theoretical benefits of a containerization system of grain handling were set out by Prentice and Craven (1980), Prentice, Kosior and Thomson (1997) and Prentice (1998). It is useful to examine how the theory is being observed in practice, and where current trends are leading. The first section of this paper sets out the logistical concepts that support the hypothesis for the modal shift of grain from bulk trans- port to intermodal ISO containers. This is followed by an examination of current practices in the United States and Canada. The penultimate section examines the regulatory and market conditions that determine the pace at which theory and practice become one. The paper concludes with some thoughts on the future of grain containerization. Logistical Theory As a relatively new area of study, it is unclear that logistics can be said to contain a body of theory. What does exist is a number of 1 Prentice & Kosior concepts that guide the organization of supply chains. These logistical concepts can be used to evaluate whether or not changes are likely to lead to improved efficiency.

  • Adding Intermodal to Your Portfolio
    Adding Intermodal to Your Portfolio Offering greater capacity, increased lane options and improved reliability, shippers should consider Intermodal Rail as part of a robust transportation and distribution portfolio. By Jerry Porter WHITE PAPER Intermodal service evolves The full range of interdependent intermodal (IMDL) transportation and distribution services have evolved in recent years and now offer the service breadth and reliability necessary to play an important part in domestic and global supply chains. Intermodal was once a slow trailers-on-rails alternative to inter-city trucking with less than dependable transit times typically available only between limited sets of origin and destination cities. The service was not integrated operationally with other transportation and distribution components of the supply chain, thereby providing limited and highly localized activities. Today, intermodal offers dependable, flexible and cost-effective linehaul, dray and transload options for large and small shippers moving products through distribution networks, whether across North America between major population centers, or as the “final mile” component of an international supply chain. Increasingly, intermodal is being leveraged by shippers over relatively short distances at a cost that’s competitive with OTR (Over-the-Road) trucking services. Intermodal’s value proposition for shippers is driven by the use of multiple, coordinated and highly-managed transportation and distribution services to achieve reliable, lower cost, optimized distribution. These services consist of off-dock and terminal drayage, ocean container to domestic equipment transloading, rail linehaul and destination drayage to effect efficient, cost- effective and risk-managed supply chains. The development of “transloading” services—the consolidation at the inbound port of inbound ocean cargo to inland destination prior to the induction to the intermodal rail network—enables shippers to achieve directional and cubic capacity efficiencies.
