THE FUTURE OF PLANNING & PROGRAM MANAGEMENT IS HERE !

INDUSTRY CASE STUDY:
PORTS, HARBORS, AND WATERWAY OPERATIONS

Industry Challenge

Seaports are gateways to domestic and international trade, connecting the United States to the world. Today, the U.S. is served by publicly- and privately-owned marine facilities, handling more than 2 billion tons of domestic and import/export cargo annually.  Ports are complex transport hubs that are interdependent across a multitude of sectors and industries.  To remain competitive, ports, harbors and waterway operation facilities must continuously develop new facilities and terminals to meet the growing volume of cargo shipped by waterway.  Furthermore, with the increased frequency of terrorist attacks, smuggling, and international crime, ports and harbors become the first line of defense to securing our nation and communities.
