10 Appendix
11 Source: econedlink.org The Panama Canal Why it Still Matters
12 Why Expand Canal? Panama Canal Authority Wants to Maximize Profits Almost 2/3 of container capacity can t fit through today s Canal. 44% of ocean cargo to U.S. goes through Long Beach/LA. Then 60% of that goes east of the Rockies. That multimodal method is fast. But it is: Expensive. Fuel inefficient. Too dependent on the Long Beach/LA bottleneck. An expanded Canal could also serve super tanker trade. But the Impact on U.S. ports is less clear
13 Lots of Complicating Factors On U.S. Port Impact Panama Canal will want to raise tariffs to capture fuel savings. An increase in bulk traffic and tankers = fewer container ships. Port of Long Beach/LA motivated to address challenges. West Coast railroads may adjust tariffs to remain competitive. Most East Coast/Gulf Ports can t handle largest new Panamax. Significant bets being made on transshipment in Caribbean. Wage gap between China and Mexico closing near shoring trend? Attractiveness of all-water route highly sensitive to fuel costs and how lean the supply chain is.
14 Looking at it from CSX s Point of View
15 Versus Long Beach s Point of View BNSF Traffic Density UP Traffic Density
16 The Colon Free Trade Zone Second Largest Worldwide $29 Billion in Trade (2011) Scenarios where it could help you make money: 1. SME Consumer Retail Manufacturer. 2. Large Consumer Retail Multinational with demand throughout the region. 3. Capital Equipment Supplier with maintenance contract obligations in the region.
17 FREE TRADE AGREEMENT U.S. Panama Ratified by Panama in Ratified by U.S. Congress in October Implemented October 2012.

Bypass burdensome exemption processes to secure subcontracting business with Canal, Metro projects. Greater Transparency in Public Procurement. Statutes give U.S. Government greater leverage to encourage an open and transparent process. Political Statement. Re-affirmation of U.S. Panama historic relationship, which fosters even more trade. Strengthens Panama s goal of becoming another Singapore. More selling opportunities for you.
