Just off the boat from China and now being prepared for  operations, the $40 million machines are part of this city\u2019s gamble that  when supersize container ships start coming through the expanded Panama  Canal in 2015, Baltimore will be one of the few ports on the East Coast  ready for their business.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe think it\u2019s going to be a major win for us,\u201d said James J. White, the  executive director of the Maryland Port Administration.<\/p>\n<p>This sense that the new set of locks now being built to allow giant  ships through the canal will bring riches 1,000 miles or more to the  north is shared by industry and government officials along the East  Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, who have been promoting multimillion- \u2014  and in some cases multibillion- \u2014 dollar port projects for years. The  Obama administration has now moved to speed up the review process for  developing and deepening the harbors for several of these ports,  including those of New York and New Jersey; Charleston, S.C.; Savannah,  Ga.; Jacksonville, Fla.; and Miami. The initiative \u201cwill help drive job  growth and strengthen the economy,\u201d President Obama said in announcing  it last month.<\/p>\n<p>But some who are following the efforts have begun to express skepticism  about the hope and money going into dredging mud and raising steel. With  so many ports competing for a share of the bounty, experts are  questioning how big that bounty will be. \u201cEverybody is trying to go  after it \u2014 there are going to be few beneficiaries, in my judgment,\u201d  said William D. Ankner, a former official of the <a title=\"More articles about the Port Authority of New York And New Jersey.\" href=\"http:\/\/topics.nytimes.com\/top\/reference\/timestopics\/organizations\/p\/port_authority_of_new_york_and_new_jersey\/index.html?inline=nyt-org\">Port Authority of New York and New Jersey<\/a> and a former secretary of transportation for Louisiana.<\/p>\n<p>The big ships \u2014 known as \u201cPost-Panamax\u201d and even \u201cSuper-Post-Panamax\u201d \u2014  are already in heavy use worldwide, making up 16 percent of the  container fleet but accounting for 45 percent of its capacity, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iwr.usace.army.mil\/portandwaterways\/\">according to a July report<\/a> by the Army Corps of Engineers. And \u201cthose numbers are projected to  grow significantly over the next 20 years,\u201d said Maj. Gen. Michael J.  Walsh, deputy commanding general for civil and emergency operations for  the corps, in announcing the report.<\/p>\n<p>In the race that began when plans for the expansion were first announced  in 2006, some winners have already emerged. The Port of Virginia, in  Norfolk, is ready to receive the big ships today. And New York is also  prepared, thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/query.nytimes.com\/gst\/fullpage.html?res=9905EFD8163EF930A15752C1A9629C8B63&amp;pagewanted=all\">a massive dredging project<\/a> that began 13 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>But nearly every port in the game still faces major challenges and  expenses \u2014 including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey,  which plans to spend $1 billion to raise the Bayonne Bridge roadway by  64 feet to allow the giant ships through on their way to to Newark and  Elizabeth, N.J.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore, which already has a 50-foot channel, has a bottleneck on the  land side: the Howard Street tunnel, through which trains have to pass  to reach the port, and which is too small to accommodate the  double-stacked container cars that are increasingly the standard for  rail shipping. The rail line CSX has announced a workaround that could  cost hundreds of millions, involving a new yard beyond the tunnel filled  with containers brought by truck; the port will load the trains with a  single container to get through the tunnel, and the trains can be  completed at the yard.<\/p>\n<p>Miami is putting $2 billion into improvements to its port; its dredging  project was approved by the Army Corps of Engineers in April, and the  city is building a tunnel costing an estimated $1 billion to create a  crucial link between the port and the Interstate System of highways.<\/p>\n<p>Savannah is preparing to move forward with a $652 million deepening project, while the South Carolina Legislature has <a href=\"http:\/\/www.postandcourier.com\/article\/20120701\/PC1002\/120709950\/1021\/lawmakers-come-through-for-port\">committed $300 million<\/a> to dredging for Charleston. A plan for the two cities to team up on a common port has all but stalled.<\/p>\n<p>The big ships will also come via places beyond Panama: many are expected  to come from Southeast Asia through the Suez Canal, and from South  America\u2019s eastern ports.<\/p>\n<p>But more fundamental questions have been raised about the real benefits  of the coming trade, and especially the effects of the new canal  traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Moving goods by water is generally cheaper than moving them by land  because of the economies of scale of moving so many containers on those  big ships, said John Martin, a ports consultant in Lancaster, Pa. So  that would suggest canal routes will offer lower-cost shipping to the  East Coast and Midwest through the canal.<\/p>\n<p>But, he said, containers loaded on the West Coast, which has built up  its container yards and highway and rail infrastructure, can outrun  those that travel to the East Coast by water, and that can make the  difference when speed and dependability are more important than cost  alone. Besides, he added, costs and fees can shift; Panama can be  expected to raise rates for canal passage, and \u201cthe railroads are not  going to sit idly by\u201d and let the water route undercut their business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another great article in the Times focused attention on the importance of the Panama Canal Expansion and
