From Our Editors’ Desktops:
INTRODUCING THE
MONTHLY BRIEFING WEBCASTS
Each month, DC VELOCITY’S editors will bring our readers a new webcast focusing on important supply chain
topics. This new webcast series will reflect many of the same themes that we cover on a regular basis in DC
VELOCITY. Leading experts will also be on hand to discuss the month’s topic.
The Panama Canal expansion:
What will it mean for you?
When it opens sometime in 2015, the expanded Panama Canal will be able to
accommodate massive containerships. How will a wider, deeper Panama Canal
affect U.S. importers, exporters, and the seaports that serve them? How will the
market-share battle that’s shaping up between West Coast and East and Gulf Coast
ports play out? Will the lower cost of shipping all-water to the East Coast instead of
overland via West Coast ports justify the longer transit time? Our panel of experts—
Chris Lytle, executive director of the Port of Long Beach, maritime industry analyst
and consultant Ted Prince, and Tony Zasimovich, vice president, global international
logistics services for APL Logistics—will explore these and other questions.
