Waterborne transportation has always been
an efficient and practical way to move goods,
both international and domestic.

In the past 2,000 years, there have been
three paradigm shifts in ship design and
maritime cargo movement:

In the past 2,000 years, there have been
three paradigm shifts in ship design and
cargo movement.
1. Mechanical Propulsion - early 1800s
(Ships could keep to a schedule.)

In the past 2,000 years, there have been
three paradigm shifts in ship design and
cargo movement.
1. Mechanical Propulsion - early 1800s
2. Steel shipbuilding - late 1800s
(Ships are much larger and deeper.)

The Port of Baltimore is a complex mix of Private
and Public terminals….handling diverse bulk &
general cargoes.

Global competitiveness: Exporting USA manufactured autos.
In 2013, auto manufacturers
exported over 252,000 cars
from the Port of Baltimore:
• Ford
• Chrysler
• GM
• Honda
• Toyota
• Subaru
• Mitsubishi
In addition, another 100,000
previously owned vehicles (used)
vehicles were exported in 2013.

Port Challenges:
Challenges:
1. Security
2. Ageing Port Facilities
3. Maintaining Channels and Waterways
4. Inland transportation infrastructure (RR, Hwy, Bridges)
5. Zoning, Community, Environmental Issues
6. Climate Change
19
1. Port Challenges: Security
Before 9/11/2001…fences kept cargo in
After 9/11/20021…prevent unauthorized entry
Eternal vigilance is the price of security.
20
2. Port Challenges: Ageing Port Facilities
Maintenance is constant due to the
harsh marine environment and
evolving customer requirements.
21
3. Port Challenges: Maintaining Clear Channels
Being the western most Mid-Atlantic
port has inland advantages, but it
also requires lots of dredging…and
construction of placement sites.
4. Port Challenges: Inland Transportation
Infrastructure - Railroads, Highways & Bridges
Built in 1895, the Howard St.
Tunnel is a CSX bottleneck.
Highway access and
congestion management
are key to efficient inland
logistics.
Many bridges on the Interstate
Highway system need repair.
23
5. Port Challenges: Zoning, Community, Freight
Routes, Environmental Issues…
Ports must maintain a “Social License to Operate” by being a
good neighbor….which can be challenging.

Sea Level Change:
+1.0’ past 100 years
+1.4’ by 2050
+3.7’ by 2100.
6. Port Challenges: Climate Change
Hurricane Isabel, Sept. 2003
+8’ storm surge - matched
deck height of MPA’s berths.
Port of Baltimore Bottom line:
1. The Port links the Mid-Atlantic region to the global marketplace.
2. With over 300 years of longevity, the Port’s cargo and cruise
forecasts are positive.
3. The Port is an economic engine with a long record of sustaining
jobs in Maryland for all skill levels.
4. Average income for a Port direct job is $61,877; this is 16%
better than the average Maryland salary.
