With larger ships coming into and leaving the Panama Canal, east coast US ports are struggling to improve their shipping capabilities. Ports will need 50 feet of water to navigate when ships are fully loaded.
Ports like Savannah, New York and Miami are working in expansions so that they can handle new larger ships. Federal monies will be needed to complete these projects. This is at a time when “earmarks” for one state over another is frowned upon. Widening and deepening ports along the US east coast is good for both jobs and the nation as a whole.
The government does not anticipate that every east coast port will need to have the deeper depth as well as wider dimensions.
Any improvements to United States shipping will help the US economy as a whole. Dredging and widening these ports will also mean more us jobs.
