With Global Trade playing such a major role within the world's economies, the U.S. seaports are all expanding and growing at a record pace. The seaports are only one component of the overall supply chain process which includes trucking, air, rail and in some cases barges. The most active port gateways in terms of current or future growth in North America are Houston, Norfolk, Savannah, Charleston, NY/NJ, and the Canadian port of Prince Rupert and Lazro Cardenas in Mexico. The panamax ships are getting larger, the west coast Mexico ports are poised for additional growth and the U.S. east coast ports are are growing with various projects increasing depths and size. The Panama Canal is nearing capacity and looking for funding for future expansion which will directly effect the growth of the U.S. ports while the Suez canal is undergoing both widening and deepening projects which will also positively effect increase TEU's to the east coast U.S. seaports.
